THE BEDOL KEMBANG
NYAI GALUNGGUNG BAG 4
Three men were on patrol that night. They walked on the side of the deserted village highway. “Eh said ... Nyai Galunggung come again yes to our village? Esih and Wira said he was the victim,” said the man sheathed in the head. “Nyai Galunggung? Saha eta (Who is it)?” ask the other guy. “Ah maneh mah moal apal, maneh mah slave TikTok, apal na ngan seleb TikTok hungkul (Ah you mah won't know, you ‘kan son TikTok, yearya only seleb TikTok doang), tikTok,” gloved men laughter.
“Nyai Galunggung was a famous sinden of the Baheula era, but ceunah (said) moksa in the haunted forest because he miara satan,” the third man who wears a well-natured skull explained. “Hiii,” aim the guy Tiktok, “after why he's back again?”
“Atuh teuing (ooh ga tahu) ceunah sih old grudge but eta ge (it also) new allegations,” replied the male in a quarrel. Suddenly they were startled by the loud noise of a motor that shot out at high speed and crashed into the wall of the archway with the deafening sound of a collision in front of them. “Astaghfirulloh!” the three men shouted in surprise together. They were still amazed to see the incident for a while. Their knees were limp but after being able to control themselves, they approached the scene of the accident.
They saw the crushed head of the motorbike as well as the head of the driver who was without a helmet. “Allah, this is mah si Anton ..” surprised gloved man who can still recognize the face of the motor driver.

The goddess bowed her head deeply in front of Anton's tomb. His hands clenched trembling. “Already Wi, we must be sincere, Anton had an accident, his name was calamity, no one knows,” whispered Imas next to him. Dewi shook her head, “I already said .. this is not an accident Imas .. why does no one hear and trust me?!”
“Ok, ok .. urang believe maneh .. so that kawih caused it?”
Dewi nodded, “I think so .. kawih it called a figure that should not be called .. I must be responsible for having developed the kawih and bring the figure.”
Imas glanced at the Goddess and then looked back at Anton's tomb, “If only we were not a prank ya.” Goddess looking around, “Mana Nining?”
Imas shrugged his shoulders, “Ga knows.” Then they didn't talk for a while just looking at Anton's tomb. “Satan can indeed enslave humans but humans can also enslave demons, if they enslave each other so according to maneh it is a mutually beneficial or detrimental relationship?” ask Imas suddenly.
“What do you mean Mas?” The goddess felt strange about that sentence. “I think it's mutually beneficial because both parties get what they want instead?” continue Imas. “Keep what does that have to do with the death of our friends?” wonder Goddess. Imas just shrugged his shoulders.
\*\*\*
Permas mangosteen, “Then may you be safe ...” Dewi glanced at Imas, with the way Imas said it without such intonation instead making the sentence feel meaning otherwise. Imas then walked away.

“No Wi, this is not your responsibility!” firmly ambu. “Ambu .. does Ambu have the heart to see everyone become a victim of Kunti Hideung? Already three friends of the Goddess became victims when they do not know anything .. ga fair to Esih, Wira and Anton .. only the Goddess who can stop him because the Goddess who invited him Ambu!” cetus Dewi, “night this Dewi will still do it.”
Ambu shook her head, “No Wi .. you will not be able to stop it.”
“Goddess sure can.”
“No Wi, you won't be able to!”
“Why Ambu?” Dewi looked at her mother who looked so firm and unsure of her that, “tell Ambu why Dewi couldn't stop her?” Ambu raised his head and looked at Dewi, “Because your grandfather was named Tata Subarna.”
“What?” shocked Goddess.
“Ya your grandfather used to be one of the people who beat up Nyai Galunggung's husband to death .. You are the offspring that Nyai Galunggung must finish off and Kunti Hideung knows that!”
