8 Goddess of Flower Sanggana
Cihua 5: Forest Residents
*Love in the Angker Forest (Cihua)*
A day and two days, Ningsih Dirama finally the year how to light a fire. However, the condition remained the same, smelling because the wounds of the disease were always wet and secreting new fluids constantly.
He had chosen a place to make houses, namely under a large tree that has a unique giant root, so that Ningsih just stick one wood and give it leaves as a roof.
He also provides a wooden stick to dispel forest animals if anyone comes closer, such as snakes, monkeys, or dangerous insects.
Although he suffered from a strange and disgusting disease, but Ningsih did not suffer from physical weakness. He could still do various jobs in the forest, even though it made him painstaking.
On his second day in the Angker Forest, Ningsih Dirama felt that there was a pair of eyes that liked to watch him.
“Ah, just my feelings,” thought, at the beginning he felt someone watching him.
But then, the sense of being watched often appeared, even several times he saw the leaves of the bush swaying without wind when he looked. Several times he also heard sounds such as feet stepping on dry leaves or small dry twigs. It made Ningsih through the day with a sense of anxiety.
“Is there another human being in this forest? Or is it a jungle-waiting dedemit?” inner Ningsih.
However, on the fourth day Ningsih lived in the forest, there was an incident that made her goosebumps.
When Ningsih was burning a lizard to eat, he again felt someone scouting him from behind a bush on his right side.
Ningsih remained grilling with her left hand, while her right hand grabbed her mainstay wooden stick.
“Who's there?!” ningsih shouted while looking suddenly, looking towards the chest-high shrubbery.
Gsruk up!
At that moment, there was a noise behind the bush as there was a strong movement on the leaves.
“Don't run!” shouted Ningsih then ventured straight up to run towards the bush. The wood in his right hand had been raised high back, ready to be smashed.
“Hihihihik..!”
Instantly Ningsih stopped running with a pale face. His feeling trembled when he heard the sound of loud laughter running away from him.
“A... what is it?” he said with a trembling voice.
The laughter she heard was like a female voice, but she was sure it was not a pure female voice, even more likely like the voice of a child. If the voice belonged to an adult, surely he could see its form because the height of the bush was only as waist to level.
“Where might there be a small child inside a creepy forest like this?” think Ningsih Dirama.
Finally, bringing with her fear and many questions, Ningsih returned to her fireplace. However, he had to be disappointed mixed in anger, his grill lizard had disappeared. He doesn't know who stole it, whether it's humans, dedemites or forest animals.
However, Ningsih did not need to wait for the day to change to find out the truth about the inhabitants of that forest.
In the afternoon, when he came home from the river with a bamboo filled with water, he suddenly stopped.
Deck! Deck! Deck!
He faintly heard the sound of wood, but he could not confirm the sound was coming from the wood that was flanked. Ningsih was still lucky because at that time he did not participate in the voice guessing quiz.
Ningsih decided to put the bamboo he carried under a tree well, so that the water does not spill free. He then walked to the west, the direction he suspected the sound of the wood came from.
As it turned out to be true, the further he walked, the clearer the sound became. Not to mention Ningsih arrived or until he saw the source of the voice, suddenly the voice stopped.
Crekrs!
Along with the sound of a strong sound of broken wood, Ningsih saw a tall tree that moved slowly tilted and then slid down to the earth.
Bsruk!
Ningsih Dirama was wide-eyed to see a large tree that was high up.
“Hihihik..!”
The curiosity of Ningsih Dirama is getting higher. He hurriedly continued his steps to where the tree had fallen. And as it got closer, Ningsih chose to hide behind a large tree and lurk from a distance.
From his place, he could see that a large tree had fallen and crossed the forest ground. Near the tree tree that was still fused with the ground, stood a long-haired man without clothes. Ningsih could only see her hard-muscled burly back and her black pants. His right shoulder became the back of a long-handled axe.
On top of the fallen tree trunk, a little boy dressed in green was jumping around in excitement. The gondrong-haired boy was a bit rosy, like he was playing around on a tree trunk while laughing loudly.
“Engineers! Anjas!” call the child suddenly.
Ningsih was shocked when she saw the little boy jump high in the air with his body spinning like a yoyo round, then landed in front of the big man's feet. Then it was seen that the child was only as tall as the thighs of an adult.
“Anjas, lilili... look to sasasa... there! Hihihik!” said the little boy stuttering then with a laugh he pointed towards the tree where Ningsih was hiding.
“Ak!” ningsih's scream was held back because she was so surprised. He pulled his entire head back into the tree. His heart immediately beat. It seems to have been really caught.
“Hihihik..!” the child's laughter was still in its place.
“How is this?” ningsih said to himself.
“No how-how, Nisanak. Come out, don't hide!”
Gong!
Like there was a gong punch on top of Ningsih's crown that made him surprised instead of playing. The man's voice sounded so close, as if he was speaking from behind a tree trunk. Ningsih was confused.
Furthermore, there was no sound of the man anymore. All that was heard was the sound of a magical little boy earlier, who could rotate in the air like a yoyo round. Not long after, the sound of the child's laughter also stopped.
“There is no way that I keep quiet like this..” Ningsih said in his heart.
Then he decided to move. He then stuck his face out to peek.
“Hah!” sigh Ningsih was surprised, it turned out that the man in clothes was still standing behind the tree trunk, as if he was deliberately patiently waiting for himself to come out.
The young man smiled at Ningsih Dirama. Clearly the young man who turned out to be handsome had already seen Ningsih's ugly face.
Ningsih hurriedly pulled her face back behind the tree. Besides being surprised because the man was a handsome young man with a thin mustache, he was also very embarrassed.
“Rather than you living alone in this forest, it would be nice if we lived together. I'm sorry, I mean living in the same neighborhood. Me and Gurudi are not bad people,” said the young man gently.
For a moment Ningsih was silent. His brain thought fast, because he had to make a choice right then and there.
“Si... Who are you, Kisanak?” tanya Ningsih stammered, without daring to show her form to the man.
“My name is Anjas Perjana. I live in this forest. You are a guest who has not asked me for permission,” replied the young man who claimed to be named Anjas Perjana.
“Ke... why aren't you bothered by my stench?” ask Ningsih.
“Hahaha!” Anjas laughed softly. “On the first day you came I was already troubled by your stench. But I'm finally used to it, just as you're used to your own stench.”
“So, have you known my arrival in this forest since day one?” tanya Ningsih was surprised, but did not dare to come out.
“Iya. Gurudi always peeked at you. He said he wanted to meet you, but he was too embarrassed. Hahaha!” anjas said in a familiar and relaxed tone. “Alright, the choice is in your hands. But me and Gurudi will not hurt you or mean to you.”
Anjas Perjana then turned and walked away. Ningsih could hear the young man's footsteps, but when he arrived, he did not hear a single sound.
Ningsih Dirama hesitantly then pulled out his face, peering back at Anjas Perjana.
“Hihihik! Anjas! Dididi... she mememe.. peek again! Hihihik..!” gurudi shouted to Anjas while pointing towards Ningsih. He laughed a lot and thought it was funny.
Hurriedly Ningsih hid again as Anjas Perjana looked back.
Anjas Perjana who caught a glimpse of Ningsih Dirama's hiding movements just smiled. He then continued his steps towards the tree trunk that had fallen asleep on the ground. (BH)
