The scream of a woman waking up my sleep, I faintly saw the clock on the wall still at three in the morning. I don't know who screamed hysterically like that, I was forced to stand up and step in front of the window. Umi was standing with a trembling body in front of the door of her room. I rushed out to him, his index finger pointing to the courtyard of the main house. It looks like Mbak Ayu is dancing with sharp eyes. I don't know what to do, because right now it's just me and Umi. I asked Umi to recite the holy verses, while I tried to communicate with Ms Ayu. Because there seems to be another figure who controls his body.
"What are you doing here? realize Ma'am, don't tell other people to take over your body."
Silent no answer from Mbak Ayu, he still danced with a scary eye gaze. I see Umi still reciting prayers in a trembling voice. Suddenly Ma'am Ayu spoke up and threatened me, not to interfere with his affairs again.
"Do you still want to lose someone close to you again? why do you always influence his mind, let him be my loyal follower. He was destined to be his mother's successor, and he should have given me his life. If you continue to influence him, I will alone take the souls of those closest to you!" the pekiknya glared in front of me.
"Why do you keep bothering us, huh? don't bother Mama Ayu again, get you out of her body!"
"There's something you don't know young man, after Dahayu agreed to be his mother's successor, he's become one soul with me. Whenever I want, I can use her body to take any human soul I want. And this time you won't be able to stop me from taking the sacrificial offering for me, because I came to get it myself!"
Whuus...
Suddenly a strong wind came, making the dust fly. My view is not so clear, when I look in various directions I no longer find the figure of Mbak Ayu or Umi. I closed my eyes while pampering the prayer to the Almighty, and slowly the strong wind subsided. I called Umi's name repeatedly, but there was no answer from her.
"Don't the figure who possessed Mbak Ayu earlier take Umi away." my mind in my heart fretted.
I ran to Umi's room, but there was no one there. Not giving up just like that, I went to Madam Ayu's room and the result was the same. Now there are only two possibilities, the ever-closed living room or the main house I have not seen. The little ghostly figure of the dark hallway's guardian gave me a hint, if I should go into the living room. A place where families usually pray.
Cekleek.
Strange, the door was unlocked as usual. I walked inside, and I saw the figure of Mbak Ayu lying on the floor wearing his traditional clothes.
"Bak wake up Ma'am! you why Ma'am?"
Slowly Ayu opened her eyes, she asked me why I was there.
"Gue who should ask you Ma'am, what are you doing here?"
"My gu... I pray Ran."
"Lu don't lie to me Ma'am! Lu gave an offering to Calon Arang, until he came and now Umi disappeared after you were out there."
"You mean what Ran? I actually pray here, and do not know why suddenly my head was heavy. In fact, I do not feel the tinkering outside, than I was here Ran. I also did not see Umi since we went home earlier." said Mbak Ayu with a serious face.
I explained everything to Mbak Ayu, if the possibility was Candidate Arang transformed into him.
"But Ran swears, I didn't numbalin the Umi. Even when I was told to choose, I called Janni's name."
"Well! what did you say Ma'am? so you actually made a deal with Candidate Charcoal to get the answer you want? crazy you, Ma'am, I didn't think you could do this." I said with teary eyes.
"So sory Ran, I don't realize this whole thing. I was just going upstairs to the main house, and I found the black head covering that guy was wearing. Because I do not want to guess who among Aunt Ajeng or Om the God who is the culprit, I also do prayer and in my dream earlier. I see that God's Om is behind that head covering, he's Ran the main culprit we're looking for!" mbak Ayu said by rounding his eyes.
"Quite Ma'am, I can't help you if you're like this. Now that someone's innocent life is in danger, I don't know where Umi is."
Ayu's mother bowed her head, she looked confused to see me shaken.
"Gue really accidentally Ran, what should I do so that Umi back again."
I wiped my tears and remembered Aunt Ajeng, could Aunt Ajeng be able to provide a solution. I contacted Aunt Ajeng and told him about Umi's disappearance, he was surprised and told me that there was only one way to do it, which was to exchange offerings before midnight.
"Which offering has been requested can be exchanged again Auntie?"
"Either Ran, Auntie also did not know. Go with Dahayu to meet someone who understands the ritual in the mangrahi realm. Aunty used to go there to save the baby Aunt who was dedicated to Candidate Charcoal. But unfortunately Aunt was late to make the exchange." he explained sobbing.
Aunt Ajeng ended the phone call, he sent a short message explaining where the address of the person in question was. I told Mbak Ayu, if we have to go to the address given by Aunt Ajeng. But Ma'am Ayu looks doubtful, he is not sure with the words of Aunt Ajeng. But I convinced him to try, because anything is possible.
"Didn't there have to be an exchange, then what should Rania exchange?"
"Entahlah Ma'am, tomorrow morning we go to the address given by Aunt Ajeng aja. But I have to ask permission to take a break from Rika's mother first."
"Sorry yes Ran, again you have to bother because of my mistake."
"Lu is not wrong Mbak, because Candidate Arang is deliberately whispered you want to do all that. But I'm also afraid anyway, that the requested exchange should be with someone's life."
After that I decided to immediately perform the dawn prayer, I prayed to God to give me instructions. Since I really don't know what else to do, I'm stuck in other people's problems. And I can't just stand idly by, my hope of saving Umi's life from Candidate Arang's target. Because until this moment I don't know where he is.
