Rania's Invisible Search
PART 263 FINAL DECISION?
After cleaning the house of the late Mbah Wongso, all the residents came to my house to eat dishes that had been prepared by Bude and other mothers. It seems Wati is bothered to serve drinks to the residents helped by Lala who just returned from work.
“You don't have to fear Ran, there is me who will always help you. If until those bad guys harm you or everyone else who's here, I'll ask Senopati for help." Firmly Lala while embracing my shoulder.
“Let alone La, there is Pak Jarwo and Pak Haji Faruk who InshaAllah can help. You just focus on work, the horrors of Wati you are getting closer to your coworkers at the factory?”
“Don't cry Wati Ran! He just ngaco if you say, anyway later if there's anything tell me. Because I have to stay at home, because here there are still all of you who nemenin Bude Walimah.”
“OK deh La, if there are any developments during your approach, let me know. Okay?" I said with one eye.
Suddenly Mr. Jarwo asked me to go into the living room, with Mr. Sapri who had just come with Pramono. Inside there was Pak Haji Faruk who waited by reading prayers. I don't know why I'm always invited to these elders' meetings, maybe because they think I can help. Direct discussion about Bening's body in a village boundary hut. As virtuous human beings, of course we all want to perfect the body of Bening. But we have to be prepared for the consequences, which is the anger of Wening and his Pakde.
“Everyone is not ready we will indeed face them. In fact, they had already sent the witchcraft to some residents, and there were already dead victims. It's just that the residents do not know the real facts, if the death of the people is not due to the outbreak of disease. Except for the santet that Warto sent, and I also never thought something like this would happen after so long.” Pungkas Pak Haji Faruk who still plays prayer beads in his hand.
“Actually I also do not know about the problems that occurred several years ago. But the late Mbah Karto gave his last message, so that I always protect all the villagers of Rawa Belatung. Moreover, this problem is about magical things that not everyone here understands. God willing I will still help whatever risks I will bear in the future.” Obviously Mr. Jarwo.
“But what is it that burying the body of his grandson Mbah Wongso will not further add to the problem?” Ask Mr. Sapri with an anxious look on his face.
Seen Mr. Sapri looks thinking, his forehead shriveled and he supported his chin with his hands. Mr. Jarwo patted her on the shoulder and asked her to calm down, and believe in all her kindness. There is nothing to be afraid of if we want to do something good.
“So the conclusion is we will still take the body and then perfect it?” Ask Mr. Sapri to look at us all.
I looked at Mr. Jarwo and Mr. Haji Faruk. They looked at each other before nodding their heads. They plan to take the body of Bening who has become the bone tomorrow. Because soon it was dark, and it was not possible to enter the forest. Moreover, they had just moved a lot of demits into that forest.
“Indeed we better do it all tomorrow. According to the age of Mr. Haji and his health condition, we cannot bury his body today!” Seru Pak Jarwo firmly.
“Then we must announce this to the citizens, so that they are not surprised and willing to help willingly.” Tell Haji to nod his head.
Mr. Sapri is authorized to convey the results of this discussion to all the citizens who are still gathered in my house. They were asked to listen to the announcement that Mr. Sapri would give, there were some residents who refused to help take the bodies of Mbah Wongso's descendants. And some more were forced to agree because they were afraid that they would not be helped by Mr. Jarwo or Pak Haji. They whispered and nudged at each other, apparently no one really sincerely wanted to help. Until I finally had to say it out loud to all of them.
“Father and mother of all, although what we will take care of is the body of Mbah Wongso's descendants. But he has nothing wrong with you, do you not all know the figure of Bening, grandson of the late Mbah Wongso who died with his Father when he was a child. And this living twin of his did not let his twin return to the realm of eternity. Do you no longer have a conscience because you are afraid? What is it by letting the body continue to be in the border forest Village will not make you wretched because of the anger of Pak Warto and also Wening? They are descendants of Mbah Wongso who can still return at any time. Even they can do evil to you even if you don't help bury the body. So please the policy, do not be selfish with self-safety. Have I or Mr. Jarwo ever not cared about the situation of all of you? Even the old Pak Haji always tried to intervene to help. So I hope you all can take a stand and be unselfish for your own sake.” I said staring at everyone who was now bowing their heads.
Finally, one by one the citizens spoke out, and they agreed to help with everything we were going to do. Had they known if they had been the target of Wening's revenge and his Pakde's, all the citizens would never have been able to sleep in peace. Luckily, Mr. Jarwo has made an antidote and occult fence that surrounds the village environment.
