The Three Chosen

The Three Chosen
327. Sesajen Plate


The condition of the tree is still intact just surrounded by many shrubs and dry leaves scattered in the


surrounding. Seeing a dirty page anyone knows if the place has long been untouched by a broom alias never cleaned for a long time.


Iyaz and Izar let out a long sigh as they realized that this time they were dealing with a thing


be different. Not wanting to get involved too far, the two rushed to the gate of the parlour. Unfortunately, the gate closed by itself. So loud that the door closes to cause a deafening squeaking sound sign that the door hinges have rusted because they are eaten by age.


Iyaz and Izar stared at each other then smiled meaningfully. They knew they wouldn't be able to get out of that old orphanage so easily. The two turned around and saw the sightings of the children and the caretaker of the orphanage they had met yesterday. Among them were Joseph and Zidan.


“ So yesterday We interacted with ghosts yes Zar...,” said Iyaz.


“ Yes, strangely why we do not ngeh if they have died yes Yaz..?” ask Izar.


“ Actually there are signs that if we look at it is enough as proof that they are different from Kita Zar. Unfortunately We were too happy yesterday because our cooperation with Pak Makmur went well, so We were a little off guard.


“ You are Yaz. Good thing God is still protecting us..” Izar said while shaking his head.


“ You see, it's Mr. Yusuf and Zidan..,” whispered Iyaz.


“ Yes, why are they among the curious ghosts yes.?.?” ask Izar.


“ Because they are in my power and are my slaves forever.!” said a voice without form that answered Izar's question.


Iyaz and Izar turned to the source of the voice. They stared intently at the figure of the male kuntilanak who was now showing


whole in front of them.


In the vision of Iyaz and Izar clearly visible the sequence of bad events that befell the orphanage and all its inhabitants. Including how the kuntilanak men finish them all without exception. Orphanages that are 100% of residents and managers are men are easy targets of evil creatures.


At first the kuntilanak men only observe the movements of the orphanage children every time he passed around the orphanage. He did not intend to disturb the children let alone terrorize them with his creepy appearance.


But when the tree where he lived was struck by lightning and felled by residents, the kuntilanak began to look for a new place. He stopped by a rambutan tree inside the parlor while looking for a new place. But unfortunately the creature began to feel comfortable living in the rambutan tree and settled there until now.


A shaman of black magic uses the existence of the male kuntilanak to make money. He began to place offerings in trees secretly without the knowledge of residents and caretakers. For months kuntilanak man got ‘asupan’ food through sajen given the shaman to make him get used to it. But that pleasant habit must be disturbed because of someone.


Zidan was the first to know if there was a offerings placed on the rambutan tree. Zidan which


introverts rarely play with friends and are more often alone in the park where the rambutan tree is located. When he saw the plate containing the offerings Zidan immediately reported it to Joseph.


“ Mr. Yusuf, I squirm there is a ground plate filled with seven flowers and raw meat on the rambutan tree.


“ Time anyway..,” said Yusuf did not believe.


“ If Pak Yusuf does not believe, come with me.” invite Zidan while pulling Yusuf's hand to follow him.


Zidan and Joseph stopped in front of a rambutan tree. If observed from the outside there is nothing strange with the rambutan tree that makes Joseph look at Zidan with a slightly upset look because he felt lied to.


“ Denger ya Zidan, I again bother taking care of your friend's adoption. Please don't bother me first. Now


should Zidan play with friends there, Ok...?” joseph said, rubbing Zidan's head gently.


“ But I'm not lying Sir..!” said Zidan.


“ Yes, We play later if you have finished yes..,” said Yusuf while passing because he thought Zidan was just looking for attention.


Zidan is not desperate. He drew Joseph by the hand and brought him up to the rambutan tree. Joseph tried to follow Zidan patiently.  Joseph observed Zidan who went up to the top of the tree and pulled out the leaves of the rambutan that covered the trunk. When he saw what was behind the leaf, Joseph was surprised.


It turned out that there was a hole in the trunk of the rambutan tree and there was a plate of earth containing offerings as Zidan said.


“ Astaghfirullah aladzim.., inna Lillahi wainna ilaihi rojiuun.... Who is this naro here. This is a idolatry. It was a naro ginian here.” Yusuf said as he clenched his hand.


“ Very dangerous Son. People who are rich in gini must have a bad purpose and usually need a collision. And you know what the fall is..?” joseph asked, looking at Zidan.


“ Ga tau, why did it fall sir..?” asked Zidan innocently.


“ Man...,” sahut Yusuf with vibrating voice.


“ Human...?” ask Zidan not to believe it.


“ Yes. A lot of people here.?” yusuf asked in a stifled voice to Zidan's surprise.


“ That means Me and my friends, Mr. Yusuf also the caretakers of the home will be the victim..?!” ask Zidan riled.


“ Yes Nak..,” sahut Yusuf sad.


“ Yes Allah, how about Sir. I don't want to be a tumbar. I want to go home..” said Zidan started crying.


“ Ssttt.., Zidan do not cry yes. Please keep this a secret from the others so they don't get scared. Now we throw this sajen first into the trash can yuk..,” persuaded Yusuf.


Zidan nodded then wiped away his tears. He took the plate and handed it to Joseph. Then the two went to the trash can behind the parlour to burn the plate and its contents.


“ The meat is rotten and there is a maggot Sir..,” said Zidan.


“ Yes, so do not hold ya Nak..,” sahut Yusuf while putting the plate on the ground.


When pouring kerosene on the plate, Joseph seemed to close his nose because he could not stand the smell of meat that began to rot and splinter.


“ Bismilbornrohaanirrohiim..,” said Yusuf then threw a burning matchstick onto the saucer's plate.


Yusuf and Zidan were seen shifting away as the fire raged. Because it has been spiked with kerosene, then quickly the fire devoured the dish offerings and their contents quickly. There was a crackling sound as the plate split due to the heat.


Simultaneously with the burning of the dish containing the offerings, there was suddenly the sound of an explosion coming from the tree


rambutans. The explosion shocked the entire parlor and rushed to the source of the sound. Joseph and Zidan went to the source of the voice.


Witnessed by residents and caretakers. Rambutan tree that was originally standing firmly seemed to fall to the ground with black smoke enveloping it. Everyone was shocked and did not understand where the black smoke came from.


“ What is this Mr. Yusuf.?” ask one of the managers.


“ I don't know either Sir. Better get the kids inside. Let me take care of this..,” said Yusuf who is owned by his partner.


“ Come Children, We go inside and continue your duties..,” said the caretaker as he clapped.


hands give encouragement.


“ Yes Sir...,” said children's homes including Zidan.


After the children went inside, Joseph went to the side to get water. When he returned and


about to water the tree with water, the rambutan tree has again stood firmly in its original place.


“ Yes Allah let alone this..,” murmured Joseph because he felt his neck thickened when staring at the rambutan tree.


back to that firm stand.


Joseph read the letter of Al Fatihah and the verse of Kursi to neutralize his fear. Somehow Joseph felt afraid that the creatures of the angry rambutan tree would hurt himself as well as the other residents of the orphanage.
