The Three Chosen
226. Find Other Help
In the courtyard of Paul's house is still crowded with residents who are concerned about the condition of Mirva. Kasak kusuk was heard when the residents talked about Mirva.
“ Last afternoon there was a storm Mirva writhing Mr. Pandu who was the soldier.” said neighbor Paul.
“ Oh that I also squirm. They are no longer a storm, but Mirva again expressed her love for Mr. Pandu.
“ Say love kok pake nangis all..?” ask the neighbors to be curious.
“ Gimana ga nangis if rejected..,” quipped a middle-aged woman.
“ Time anyway, Ibu Mirva's intention was rejected by Mr. Pandu..?” ask the people not to believe.
“ Yes...,” says the woman fast.
“ Why rejected, Mirva is beautiful.?” ask other people.
“ Beautiful is not enough, especially Mr. Pandu is married and certainly his wife is much prettier than Mirva. Mr. Pandu has just been married, so he is still a newlywed. How could he want to cheat with another woman if his wife is much better than the woman.
“ Sssttt.., don't talk about it Mom. It is not good to be surprised by Mr. Paul.” said one of the neighbors reminded.
“ Let alone. Mirva is wrong too. Why chase men who do not want to be with him, have married again. Shameful aja..” sahut the woman ketus.
Residents who heard the woman's words fell silent and did not continue their conversation. The people knew that the woman was hurt by Paul and his son for making her nephew die.
The woman's nephew was named Herdin who was a schoolmate of Mirva. Mirva and Herdin used to be close to even being in a relationship and planning a wedding. But Mirva suddenly breaks off their relationship only because Herdin and his family are unable to fulfill Mirva's wishes.
After his relationship with Mirva ended Herdin became depressed and often confined himself in a room. Eventually, Herdin became ill and died. Mirva who came to the funeral home was immediately expelled by Herdin's family.
Mirva began to keep her distance from men since Herdin's death. After two years of Herdin's departure, Mirva finally opened her heart to the men who came including Magung. But just like Herdin, the men were unable to fulfill Mirva's senseless desire and preferred to leave Mirva.
Instead of being aware of her mistake, Mirva used the men she had been close to
they even went crazy and died.
Residents actually sniffed that something was wrong with Mirva. But out of respect for Paul, the people chose to remain silent and not to dispute what Mirva had done. Residents prefer to remind family members not to be in a relationship with Mirva if they do not want to end up in harm's way. Until finally Mirva was difficult to get a mate because of her own actions.
Paul who was anxious because no man was willing to marry Mirva was forced to humble himself by offering his daughter to be betrothed to the children of his friends or relatives. But unfortunately they refuse because they know Mirva is not a girl as simple as her appearance. Until finally Paul met Pandu and was interested in Pandu's personality. Paul felt that Pandu would be able to control the spoiled and stubborn Mirva.
Mirva has been stubborn ever since her mother died. Growing up without the supervision of a mother like her peers, Mirva grew up to be a slightly haughty and stubborn girl. Paul who was busy working hardly had time to listen to Mirva. Paul had time to retire but it seemed too late.
Mirva who got used to herself ended up seeking help through the shaman. From the shaman of black magic that Mirva got help and misled. And now the devil of the black magic possessed by Mirva is also stalking the safety of Mirva.
In Paul's house the shaman was still trying to help Mirva. The shaman saw a human-like creature with the shape of a lion-headed being hugging Mirva's body possessively. His fingers and toes were adorned with long black nails. The creature seemed to grin while looking at Mirva with a meaningful look.
Mirva seemed to growl with her eyes whizzing as the creature continued to hug her body. The prayer that the shaman chanted seemed to have no much effect. The shaman is only able to delay the creature from doing something big to Mirva but not stop her.
“ Sit down Paul, you give me a headache.!” said the shaman annoyed.
“ Yes Cake, sorry..” said Paul then sat down next to the shaman who had just managed to calm Mirva.
“ So what happened exactly Cake..?” ask Paul.
“ Your son embraced black magic to get rid of his enemies.”.
“ As far as I know Mirva has no enemies Kek..,” said Paul.
“ The man who was once her lover and canceled her marriage is an enemy for Mirva. Don't you know it's Paul.?” ask the shaman while looking at Paul.
“ I mean Grandpa, Mirva's crazy and deceased ex-boyfriend...,” Paul's speech was interrupted because the shaman cut quickly.
“ Right. They were crazy and died because Mirva had used them with the black magic she had was Paul.” said the shaman convinced Paul to make him surprised.
Paul looked in shock. He did not expect Mirva to be able to do such a heinous thing. Paul felt alien and did not recognize his biological son anymore. Paul looked at the shaman and asked.
“ What should I do to save Mirva Kek..?” paul was tired.
“ I can't help you Paul. Because black magic has taken a toll on lives. It's good to seek help from others. I saw that there was one of the relatives from the land of Java who could help you.” said the shaman.
“ I do not know who they are, how could I ask them for help Cake.” said Paul riled.
“ But you know Captain Pandu right..?” ask the shaman.
“ Captain Pandu, the pilot from Jakarta was Kek..?” ask Paul to doubt.
“ Right. He was surrounded by a positive aura from people who understood the supernatural. They can help Mirva escape from the devil's entanglement. Ask him for help, because at this time only the path is visible to me.” the shaman's advice.
“ Do they want to help Us Cake..?” ask Paul.
“ I'm sure they are happy to help you because they are good people.” said the shaman with a smile.
“ Well, if that is the only way to save my Son then I will go to see Captain Pandu Kek...,” said Paul with teary eyes.
“ Go, I'll wait here. Don't forget to have some women take care of Mirva because I don't want to be called a pervert shaman who took advantage of Mirva's fainted state..,” said the shaman while smiling wryly.
“ Good Cake...,” said Paul with a smile.
Then Paul came out of the house. After asking a neighbor to accompany his son at home, Paul went to the military barracks to meet Pandu. Among his relatives Paul was willing to penetrate the darkness of the night to ask Pandu for help according to the order of the shaman.
