The Three Chosen
218. Carrying Life
After Yori siuman, he also invited Maya to leave the place. Residents asked Yori to stay remembering that it was already night. But as usual Yori refused and insisted on taking her son and wife away that very night.
“ Kasian is the same as your little one, sir. Gini rich nights Where are you going. It is better here first if you do not have a purpose..,” said the resident.
“ Right. Surely Bu Maya is also tired and still in shock the same incident earlier.” said other residents.
“ My Child and Wife is my affair. Let Us go because here is not our place.” Yori said as she carried her child.
“ Yes, We can't hold you. Be careful on the road yes..” said the head of RT mediate.
Before stepping in following her husband, Maya still had time to express her gratitude to the citizens.
“ Forgive My Husband Yes Sir, Ma'am. Thanks for the help of your Mother. I say goodbye now...,” Maya said as she tearfully.
“ Yes May, be careful. Do not hesitate to come here if there is a need. Insha Allah We will help as much as We can later.” said bu RT while rubbing Maya's back.
“ Yes Mom, thank you..” said Maya then rushed to follow in her husband's footsteps.
“ Kasian ya Maya. Have a husband who is rude rich that..,” said one of the residents.
“ Mr. Yori maksa left because of the shame of his lustre. It turns out that all this time he had been doing a meal to enrich himself.”, said the RT chairman while shaking his head.
“ Pantesan can get rich suddenly. Don't know pesugihan toh..,” cibir citizens.
“ Moreover, earlier he heard abis throwing strange packages to his house Mr. Ramdan, yes more embarrassed deh..,” said residents while laughing.
“ Yori. I can't believe I have such a rich mind. We want to be rich at work, not even pesugian. But by the way he participated in the pesugian what Mr. Rt..?” ask one of the residents.
“ As expected citizens so far Sir. He kept tuyul at his house. Maybe because he was overwhelmed with his wealth he forgot to give a tumbal. Hence the treasure runs out in an instant..” said Mr. Rt again to make residents nod their heads.
Soon the people dispersed one by one. The burning ruins of Yori's house were left alone. The fire at Yori's house left a question in the minds of the residents. How could the fire that devoured Yori's house be extinguished by itself without having to involve the fire department.

Maya stumbles after Yori's steps. He was already very tired but Yori did not care. Even along the way Yori continued to scold the exhausted Maya.
“ Why do I apologize to them. We're not wrong, May. If we miara tuyul is not their business either. Those who go to hell and are guilty of sin are not them. Wonder if you have super neighbors. Want to know people's business, but just know people are in trouble instead of helping, eh even talked about. They think that talking about doang will be full stomach..,” said Yori upset.
Sepi no sahutan. Feeling suspicious Yori turned her head and was surprised to see what happened to Maya. It turned out that Maya was lying unconscious on the street from exhaustion. Seeing Maya faint makes Yori more upset and then approached his wife.
“ Duh Maya, take fainting all the way. Make a fuss. Maya..., wake up May...!” call Yori while shaking Maya's body.
Because no response from Maya makes Yori panic. He put his son down and started to wake his wife.
A moment later Maya squirms and opens her eyes.
“ Brother, I'm not strong Bang. I am very tired...,” said Maya lirih.
“ But May's responsibility. We will soon be here...,” Yori said.
“ Daritadi also said that but where is the evidence, We are still on the road. Though this is almost morning Bang...,” said Maya while crying.
“ Yes, We rest for a while. Do not cry..,” said Yori while leaning her body on the tree trunk.
Maya rubs her face and hugs her son, whom Yori places near her. When hugging the child Maya frowned because she felt something strange in her baby.
“ What the heck you. Last gapapa kok...,” said Yori while closing her eyes.
“ I'm serious Bang. Don't tell me that Dedek is dead, Bang.!” maya said in a loud voice.
“ Dead, what do you mean May. No one's dead, Our Son is alive May.!” yori Sahut.
“ But Our Child does not move Bang, does not breathe as well.” Maya said while crying.
Yori immediately grabbed her son's body from the wife's embrace. Checking the pulse on his wrist and the exhale from his nostrils, but nil. The child has been dead for some time.
Yori screamed stifled when she realized her baby had died. Seeing her husband's attitude makes Maya sure if her son died. Maya also screamed hysterically while calling her son's name.

The funeral of Yori and Maya's children was solemn. Residents who attended the funeral could only look at the couple's pity.
Upon learning of her son's death Maya forces her to return to the housing where they previously lived. Yori was forced to obey his wife because she also wanted her child's body to be properly taken care of.
Yori looked at the grave of her son. Tears no longer flowed on her face, it seemed that Yori was too tired to cry. Maya who sits beside the tombstone looks hostile and away from Yori to make Yori sad.
“ I have to go and make the same calculation of the shaman May..,” said Yori while kissing Maya's head.
Maya just mutely lets Yori leave without knowing if it is the last time she can
seeing her husband alive. Maya looks desperate and continues to mourn the death of her son. While Yori went to take his life because the shaman was deliberately waiting for him to complete their agreement first.
When faced with the shaman Yori also vented her frustration.
“ Why did you take my Son Mbah, what's wrong.?” ask Yori.
“ Don't forget our agreement first Yori. I'm entitled to take anyone from your family if you violate our agreement.” said the shaman.
“ But she is still a child Mbah..,” said Yori memelas.
“ Then what about my pet tuyul that you ignore, they are also still small..,” said the shaman to make Yori speechless.
The shaman walked over to Yori's collar while continuing his interrupted sentence earlier.
“ And in the agreement it was also said that you were willing to replace them to become my soldiers
faithful if both of them die..,” said the shaman while knocking his machete to the base of Yori's neck.
Blood spurted from the cut neck. Yori's head fell to the ground with both eyes widened and a face of fear. Then Yori's headless body fell to the ground. Yori died without making a sound and in terrible conditions.
The shaman spat on Yori's body and took Yori's head and wrapped it in a black cloth. Then the sorcerer whistled to his handcuffs the dreaded black-haired creature before him.
“ That's food for you, Spend it immediately..,” the shaman commands as it passes.
The dreadlocked black-haired creature appeared to grin. He approached Yori's body and began to tear the meat and eat it greedily. While in the sky, the bang*ai bird appears to fly low as if impatient to enjoy Yori's body.
