Rania's Invisible Search
PART 31 MYSTERY DISCOVERY OF CORPSES
What we were waiting for finally arrived, saw Agus walking with a cardboard full of dust. Agus put the cardboard on the floor and opened it, he took one by one the things in it. Then he handed over some of the parcels he took from the cardboard to Aunt Ajeng.
Aunt Ajeng lowered her head, clear droplets dripping from both eyes. He opened the old package, and took something out of it. Looks like a baby clothes, and a variety of baby items are still very small. There were tiny socks and shoes, Aunt Ajeng hugged those things with tears of joy. Then he took out a photo album and opened it on the table. Seen portraits of happiness young couples who have just been blessed with a descendant. Aunty Ajeng rubbed a photo of the baby in the album. Now that Aunt Ajeng's heartbreak was unstoppable, he grabbed the photo album and dyed it with tears.
"Aunty, please calm down. If this is what Om Dewa can wake up, and our efforts will be in vain" said Agus by rubbing the back of Aunt Ajeng.
Me and Wati can only keep quiet and say nothing. But something stuck in my mind, I recognized the photo of the young couple on the album. And the baby they carried, seemed familiar to me.
After winning her over, Aunt Ajeng wiped her tears. He put the photo album back on the table, then he gave orders to Agus to go inside. The order with the body gesture was understood by Agus, then he walked into the house. It seems that Agus was ordered to guard the situation, worried if Om the Gods came out of his room.
Now that Wati was getting curious about the strange girly of the two, she nudged my leg giving her code of suspicion. I who understand Wati's intentions can only give lode with a blink of an eye, fortunately Wati understands me, and he is quietly waiting for an explanation from Aunt Ajeng.
"You must want to know why Auntie became this fragile. You see the photo on this album, this is a happy portrait at the beginning of the marriage of Aunt and Om Dewa. Three months after the wedding we were given the trust to have offspring. After nine months and five days of pregnancy, the baby we were waiting for was born. Not long after, the mother of Om Dewa died. And from there the beginning of the disaster happened" said Aunt Ajeng with a long breath.
Aunt Ajeng continued her story with a heartbreaking face. Sometimes he sobbed by hugging the baby clothes in his hands.
"Actually the Om family of Gods has knowledge that must be passed down through generations. And after his mother died, there must be a descendant who inherited the knowledge. Om Dewa should be appointed as the successor, but he could not bear such a responsibility. Be his older sister who inherited that knowledge, many a series of ritual offerings were performed. Until finally Big Sister Om Dewa became the successor of science and ritual stakeholders. But what we worship does not let go of the Om God just like that, he asked for a soul redeemer. Because at that time the child of the elder sister Om Dewa was required to be the next successor, he could not be sacrificed as a soul redeemer. Our baby was chosen as an offering. Aunty must give up the baby who has just filled the days of Aunt with happiness, to be made an offering as a soul redeemer Om God. Aunty had no other choice, with the aunt had to give up our descendants to be handed over as offerings. At that time Om Dewa forced Aunty, with only one of our descendants, to save our other descendants. Because if we don't give the baby away, Om God or his family could be in big trouble, because of the wrath of the creature he worshipped. Since then Auntie and the family also perform the same ritual, in the hope of keeping the Aunt family from unwanted things." explained Aunt Ajeng tearfully, she hiccups with a picture of her baby.
Me and Wati also drifted into the grief of Aunt Ajeng. It was natural that as a mother, she felt such great suffering.
"What does Aunt Ajeng mean is to worship the figure of Leak?" chirp Wati surprised me, he did not hesitate to ask Aunt Ajeng. Though I have not dared to say anything, because I did not have the heart to see his suffering.
Yeah, maybe Wati is curious and can't help his curiosity. Whereas I who have seen such an event can only bow my head, because I am not strong enough to see the vile incident.
"Eh. Never mind the past is the past of Aunt Ajeng and Om Dewa. So, who were the ones I was looking for all this time? and their older sister is Bu Wayan Sukmawati? then the son of Bu Wayan who was foster by his sister was Mbak Ayu? god, why didn't I understand everything from the beginning?" my mind is in my heart with a long breath.
"Those who worship that figure have a variety of desires. We group together to perform a prayer ritual before making offerings for the figure. The figure can be good or evil, depending on the adoration." said Aunt Ajeng with a questionable look at me.
"Rania. Auntie knows you're hiding something, talk about what's bothering you right now. And according to Agus, you know something very important. Can you tell Auntie everything?"
My feelings are mixed, why do I feel anxious to tell everything to Aunt Ajeng. Although now I know the truth, but I have to make sure that what is in my mind is true. Then I told Aunt Ajeng everything about finding a headless corpse in that old building. I also explained if I found an old box, which contains a will for Ketut Dewangga. And there were things that he bequeathed to his descendants, a child raised by his sister.
"Is there something in it? pendants or necklaces or other objects?" aunty Ajeng asked with her eyes rounded.
"Where can Aunty Ajeng guess that? I became even more convinced, if the vision that had been directed at me, was indeed related to this family." My inner self by connecting the two eyebrows.
I didn't tell you what was in the box. I deliberately said that the object in it had not been seen, because the box was in the hands of the police.
"Loh said Agus you found Rania?" said Aunt Ajeng with an anxious look.
"Yes that's true, but the police took the box as evidence. And there is one thing that still stuck in my mind, is it true that Om Dewa is Ketut Dewangga, the younger brother of Bu Wayan Sukmawati? if that's true, then Mbak Ayu is the son of Bu Wayan?" I said with my heart beating fast.
It seemed that Aunt Ajeng only nodded her head with a face of despair. I don't know what's bothering him at the moment, he asked me to be reunited with the police who kept the old box. I became more confused what to say to Aunt Ajeng. Because honestly there is another hunch, I have not fully believed in the story of Aunt Ajeng.
...Does Aunt Ajeng have any other intentions of her explanation tonight? or does he want to help uncover hidden secrets? how do you think friends? yuk sharing in comments. ...
