The Three Chosen
36. About Dante

The police were still in the middle of the room after hearing Parmi's explanation. Until the voice of one's cell phone

the policeman rang and shocked all the police. They resumed their work searching Dante's house. While the policeman whose phone rang was seen receiving the phone call with a respectful attitude omen if the one who contacted him was his superior.

“ Ready Sir...,” said to the police and ended the conversation.

Shortly thereafter, the AKP. Heru came while spreading his gaze to the corner of Dante's house. His gaze stopped on the strangely colored and patterned door.

“ What is the contents of the room..?” ask Heru.

“ Don't know yet Sir. The room was locked and said a housekeeper named Mbok Parmi the room

it's always locked. We haven't managed to open it yet. Because in addition to the key brought the same Mr. Dante, there is a heavy object that nahan the door from inside sir.” said one of the police.

“ Move You, let Me open..” said Heru while putting up the horses.

Both of Heru's men also stopped to give way to their superiors. Accompanied by dhikr in the heart, Heru also managed to break the door in one kick. Two of Heru's men seemed to be amazed by Heru's ability.

“ Kok can, even though I am sure that there is something that is happening from the inside..,” they said in their hearts.

Once the door was opened, there was a thick smell of mud mixed with the smell of blood. The instant smell

the yelling made the stomachs of the two policemen at the door become nauseous. They rushed out and vomited violently there.

From the doorway Heru saw a messy room. On the floor of the room look two slips made of woven

bamboo. One of them contains offerings in the form of seven flowers that have dried up. While the other looks contain coconuts, cassava and apples that are also seen starting to dry. Heru understood that it was the room where Dante performed his perverted ritual.

Then Heru asked his other men to come in and search the room. While waiting for the report of his men Heru contacted Faiq and told him of his findings. Moments later Heru's men report that they have found no evidence of the crime they were looking for in the room.

Meanwhile, in an inn far from the city of Jakarta, Dante was sitting while enjoying

cup coffee. He has received word that his house was raided by police.

Dante was waiting for someone. Sometimes his head turned towards the door hoping that the person he was

wait come soon. Suddenly Dante's phone rang, and Mbah Suroso's name was on it. Dante smiled and received the phone call.

“ Yes, where is Mbah...?” ask Dante quickly.

“ Sorry Dante, I can't go..,” says Mbah Suroso.

“ Lho, how is Mbah. And how would I go if Mbah came. Don't mess with me Mbah. I already love a lot of money for Mbah, why is it my turn to be pressed rich gini Mbah even do not want to help..?!” dante said with a high tone of voice.

“ You dare to bring up your gift that is not how much Dante. Do you remember who helped you so you can be rich and successful rich now. Your gift is nothing compared to my services Dante..!” sahut Mbah Suroso was angry.

“ Sorry Mbah, it is not my intention to bring up my gift to Mbah. I'm confused again Mbah, I'm being chased by the Police. What do I do if Mbah gains help me...?” lamented Dante.

There's no answer. Apparently Mbah Suroso has severed the telephon connection unilaterally. Of course it makes Dante angry. He went on a rampage in the room and destroyed whatever was nearby. The noise from Dante's room frightens other visitors to make the innkeeper come and knock on his door.

Dante stopped the action. He told the bouncer that everything was fine and he promised to replace all the damage he had done.

Elsewhere, Mbah Suroso was laughing happily when he found Dante slumped. It seems Mbah Suroso has a bit of a grudge against Dante.

Mbah Suroso knew Dante when there was construction of a madrasa in his village. At that time Dante was just an ordinary building porters who were often scolded by the building foreman for being slow and inept.

“ Basic lazy, why do you relax here. If no one can be helped here, you can see who else needs help. Not even fun hanging out while smoking rich boss. I'm paying you to do work instead of relaxing rich gini. Salary asks for the same but work does not want to be tired. If you can't follow my rules, you better get out. I can find someone better than you..!” said the foreman named Rasidi was upset.

“ Don't Sir, I still need this job because I have a Son and Wife Sir. I'm sorry, I promise I won't be rich again..,” said Dante while bowing his head.

“ Good, I love you a chance once again. But if I still see You are rich gini, not only You have to get out of this project but also your salary will not I pay..,” Threatened Rasidi as it passed.

Dante looked at Rasidi's back with a hateful look and it was seen by Mbah Suroso who

coincidence flashed.

“ Kalo ga mepet really also will not I want to work in a rich place gini. The foreman is chatty, stingy, menacing. Watch out if I'm rich. I will trample his pride in front of the crowd until he has no face again..,” grumbled Dante who was heard by Mbah Suroso.

“ If you want, I can help you get revenge while making you rich.” said Mbah Suroso who stood behind Dante.

Dante turned his head and saw the figure of an old man dressed in all black was looking at him sharply.

“ How to..?” ask Dante enthusiastically.

Dante looked resentfully at Mbah Suroso who was walking away from him. For him, Mbah Suroso did not give way

out but it makes him even more tired. How not. There is only one river in the village and it is very far from where it is now. And that means he will be exhausted when he arrived at the river because he had to travel to the river on foot.

“ Basic parents are sane...,” maki Dante in heart and then continue his work.

But apparently Mbah Suroso did want to ensnare Dante. He continues to terrorize Dante with supernatural whispers that he deliberately sent to make Dante uncomfortable and obey Mbah Suroso's request.

When the two met on the riverbank, Mbah Suroso immediately said how Dante could realize his wishes. Without a second thought Dante immediately agreed what Mbah Suroso said.

“ Keep what should I do Mbah..?” ask Dante.

“ Now you're imprisoned in that cave. Do not open your eyes even if there is a strange sound that you hear or smell that will pierce the nose. Hang on. When it is finished I will come to pick up..,” said Mbah Suroso.

“ Cave, no cave in this river Mbah..,” said Dante.

“ There, it's behind you. Go in and sit down and close your eyes..!” the Mbah Suroso's.

Dante obeyed Mbah Suroso's orders even though in his mind he was still trying to remember if there was no cave in

along that river. Dante was convinced because he was born and raised in that village. In addition, he and his friend often play in the river first until he poult out of his head how the condition of the river. But Dante was silent when he saw a small cave in front of his eyes. Then Dante sat down cross-legged while closing his eyes.

Without Dante knowing it, he was in the cave for three days and three nights. On the third night Dante heard

the sound of rustling grass being stepped on as if something was walking closer towards him. Then it was connected with a sound like a bump on the cave wall. Dante kept his eyes closed by putting on a watchful attitude out of fear that something or someone would attack him.  Soon after the unpleasant aroma poured out in the small cave room to make Dante had to hold his breath because he could not stand the smell.

What really happened was a large wild boar entered the cave after Mbah Suroso

performing rituals outside the cave. The large, black-haired boar, with fangs sticking out at the end of its mouth seemed to grin when it saw Dante sitting in the cave. The boar swiped its body against the cave wall as if it was marking its territory and that voice was heard by Dante. Then the boar threw dirt on the slap that was covered with banana leaves and the smell was what was out in the cave earlier.

After he finished throwing dirt, the boar simply vanished. Mbah Suroso seemed to smile with satisfaction

seeing Dante obey his orders to keep his eyes closed until the ritual ends.

Mbah Suroso patted Dante on the shoulder as a sign that the ritual had been completed. Then he handed a full container

that pig shit in front of Dante.

“ The ritual is done and you succeeded. Now eat, you must be hungry after three days and three nights eat nothing.” said Mbah Suroso.

Without much comment Dante immediately devoured the pig shit quickly. The one in Dante's vision

at that time, Mbah Suroso offered a container containing white rice, chicken and sauteed kale. Dante ate the ‘hidunan’ to the toilet. After that, Dante was asked to bathe in the river.

When out of the river Dante did not find Mbah Suroso there. However there was a piece of paper containing a note about the follow-up instructions for him. The note reads that Dante must prepare a room for the ritual and Saturday night Kliwon as the time of the delivery of the tumbal. Dante nodded in understanding and rushed home.

When he arrived at Dante's house he saw his wife's son laughing happily while eating. Surprisingly, they

eating food that is not affordable by Dante's mediocre salary.

“ Father here, We eat meat rendang you know. Delicious...,” says son Dante.

“ How can I eat meat rendang, where does the money come from..?” ask Dante to his wife.

“ Ga buy Sir. When opening the door, there was a big bag on the porch. Pas mother open her style of rice content is the same side dish

pouky. There is money also you know sir, nih see..,” sahut wife Dante while showing two mops of money hundreds of thousands of rupiah.

Dante smiled because he knew that what was enjoyed by his family was the gift of an unseen figure mbah Suroso. Then Dante joined his family enjoying the meal. In his heart Dante was sure if he would soon be rich and avenge him on Rasidi as what was said mbah Suroso.

From that moment on, Dante began to change. He no longer works as a building clerk. He chose to be a sand and stone miner of times. Dante recruits several neighbors to help him mine rocks and sand on the banks of the river. After the collection Dante sold it to the city. In an instant Dante became rich thanks to his efforts that got the help of the supernatural.

But apparently Dante's attitude changed on Mbah Suroso. Dante only gave money to Mbah Suroso a few times as an expression of his gratitude. He did not even invite Mbah Suroso when inaugurating his company. Dante only invited other people and business rivals to attend the big event to make Suroso hurt.

“ Basic people don't know themselves. Wealthy people forget the same people who helped him. Look, when I fall, I don't

will want to help you..,” muttered Mbah Sursoso.

And the intention of Mbah Suroso was realized at this time, when Dante needed his help he ignored it so

just.
