(Missed ) In Nakampe Ivory Village
CHAPTER IX



The sun has already


right over the head. The TAPA BRATA YOGA SAMADHI ritual will


done tonight after Imsyak, however, me and the others have packed up


item – item. Meanwhile, Joan was seen sitting cross-legged on the floor of the room,


his forehead wrinkled, his face stiffened while his eyes were tightly closed. I am


one – is the only person who understands what is in his mind. I've been


watching him while he was in a Taekwondo match


facing an enemy stronger than him. In such circumstances, anyone


not daring to bother him, neither did I. Since returning from home, sir


Sujar, he immediately packed the goods – goods without much talk. Temporal


Bag Knife or knife bag in particular has been installed on his body.


My heart


it skipped a beat once as he opened his eyes slowly, that pair of eyes


as if sprinkling embers, his face suddenly reddish.


“I SWEAR


!! EVEN IF I HAD TO BET MY LIFE, I WOULD ALWAYS PROTECT MY FRIEND'S –


!!! THEY ARE NOT HUMAN !!! BUT THE DEVIL !!” he shouted while blowing his fist


right to the floor.


Joan is now


I see, not Joan who is suave and humble, the embers of the fire of vengeance are already


spread throughout his body. I understand it, especially considering the treatment


citizens on Bianca.


“Kemana Hudi's


and the others ?” ask me later.


“They are


packing goods,” I said.


“Good. Subsequent to


that we'll figure out a way to get out of this damned village,”


“Already powerful.


They will look for vehicles belonging to residents who will be used later,”


“Good if


are so. TAPA BRATA YOGA SAMADHI will be held after imsyak, preferably, the,


we do not have to delay after everything is finished, we will go to Sendang,”


said Joan.


“Jo, what not


should we solve this problem with a cool head ?” my proposal.


“You,


relax, Cel .. I know what to do. I didn't expect it at all, though,


we're stranded in this damned village so we have to experience something that doesn't happen


sicken. Will you forgive me, Cel ?”


“You talk


what, Jo... no need to worry as long as we unite and together – equals,”


I said.


Joan sighed


breath, all this time I knew her as a strong, tough woman


and be strong in the face of anything. But today it looks different


once. His face looks shahdu/painful as if he will face something


make him desperate. Maybe for the first time, he felt it. I


itself felt strange, I don't know, what was clearly something pathetic.


“If it happens


what – is with me, you guys get away from this village quickly – fast,”


he said while his pair of sharp eyes looked glazed – glass.


“Jo, nothing


to worry about, me and the others tried their best to face.


what will happen later. If you die, then we will accompany you,”


I said no less desperate. I hugged Joan, and she hugged me tightly,


we are immersed in the thoughts of each – each.


“We should


trying to get out of here safely !” the call surprised us, Hudi


and another one appeared in the doorway of the room.


“Jo, we also intend


doing the same thing, but, we can't give up until here, we.


strong when united,” connect Yulia.


“Hei from


you are sad, quickly put the – items of your goods into the trunk,” suddenly


Akhmad appeared while smiling knots.


“Are you


have found a vehicle for us ?” my many.


Akhmad interesting


my hand and drag me to the front yard, there's a Jeep


parked, covered by scrub.


“How


you guys think ?” ask Akhmad.


“Where are you


get that car ?” my many.


“It actually


it belonged to that woman named Bu Midar. The owner is dead and


hang out in the barn, then, I'll take it. Indeed, it was difficult


turn it on, but, after I fix it up a little bit, it's done. Ready to drive us


leaving this bastard village,” explained Akhmad, “Inside there is also a motorcycle,


I'll just take them all. After all, no one asked or used it,”


Well, Miss Midar.


I call him Bi Midar. He is one of the citizens who


been looking after and caring for me the first time we were stranded in this village,


until healed. I can't forget his kindness and


honoured him. I thought of her as my own mother, but, who would have thought


I was in his care, he gave me human flesh. Woe, he,


the meat I eat is the meat of my friend – who was sacrificed for the ritual


that's ridiculous. Remembering that, I felt my stomach stir – stir, nauseous and about


vomits. However, the disappointment had held back the unpleasant feelings on my stomach. Yang


I can do it when it's crying in my heart. But crying is not possible


return those who have died. Until finally, Joan and the others


go out and see it all with mixed feelings. “I


and Cella's going to Sendang now. I wonder what they are


do it to Bianca. I don't feel very good,”


“Sendang Distance


with this place, it's far away. Better, you guys I'll take,” said Hudi, “More


fast, better ..”


***


That afternoon, nature


unfriendly.


Cloudy


roll – roll in the sky of Nakampe Ivory village, lightning light as if tore


– shred the cloud – the black cloud while occasionally sounding the sound of thunder


blaring. The wind blew fiercely, as if it was about to ravage


the road we went to Kali Kidul. That afternoon, Kali Kidul and surrounding areas


it was no longer as beautiful as when Joan and I first set foot on the spot


that's.


When we arrived


in the place of Mbah Buluk, from afar looks a line of light – fire light runs


it marched and disappeared right inside the building called Sendang.


“TAPA Ritual


BRATA YOGA SAMADHI, soon to start,”


That heavy voice


to our surprise, suddenly Mbah Buluk was already standing behind us.


“And !” exclaims


Joan, “Does Mbah Buluk always appear arrived – arrived like this ?” tannya


with annoyance.


Mbah Buluk


as if not hearing Joan's words, he walked up to me and


looking at me sharply even though it seemed like his gaze was not fixed on one


point. “Nduk, you go into that Sendang. Whatever happens, Mbah


Buluk hopes you can control yourself. Don't act desperate, wait


until Mbah Buluk and Mbah Joglo arrived there. Be careful – hatah,”


“Good, Mbah..”


I said.


“One thing


again,” said Mbah Buluk, “Mbah Abang still take care of you. If you could meet


with him, help us to face Mbah Jauhari. Even though


our intelligence is on par with his, but, if we unite, he will be easier


subdued,”


“How


how, Mbah ? I do not have the ability to meet the figure of –


that magical figure,”


“Come here,


Mbah Buluk will tell you how,”


I'm according to dan


the black-clothed grandfather whispered something into my ear.


“shang hyang cipto gumono hotel


sejatining Mbah Abang kang aperojo hing songgobuono rawuh, rawuh, rawuh mijil


ono ing pangarsaningsun”


(This spell


not necessarily can be used by people who have not gone through the process of my man,


fasting or indeed undergoing a false science. In short, not just anyone


one can do it without the permission of the heavens /GOD ).


“You can


do it later, nduk,” Mbah Buluk then patted my shoulder three times,


after that, he turned his body and after reaching the end of the room, he


turn and his body disappears. Joan and the others were glued, some of them


they asked what Mbah Buluk had talked to me about, I chose


to silence.


Joan looked at


directions Hudi and friends – other friends.


“You wait


here, let me and Joan go to Sendang. I don't want to happen what –


what on you guys,”.


“Anda us


can help you,” said Bella weak, it was responded Joan just by


a smile.


“You are careful


– be careful,” said Yulia, “Hurry back and get out of here,”


“You too,


be careful – be careful,” Joan said while hugging them. We'll leave soon


place it and step towards Sendang.

SEPTEMBER, 2012


Upon entering


Sendang, the room in the form of an elongated hallway looked pitch-black.


Armed with a flashlight in hand, we walked down the hallway while


increase our alertness.


“Hai, no


I'll let you go alone, let me accompany you,”


That cry


to our surprise, Hudi was already behind us, Joan's face was red.


Either we should be happy or sad with the appearance of the Hudi.


“How


with Bella and Yulia ?” ask Joan.


“Akhmad can


reliable, really. Never mind, after all I wonder what it is called


as an angkara statue of wrath by Mbah Buluk,”


“If until


what happened – what to them you are the one responsible,” threatened Joan,


Hudi only responded with a smile.


Long-time


we walked down the aisle, sayup – sayup heard screams from the direction


fore. Screams of fear in between – between crying and chanting. Direction


front smelled a strange fragrance. The smell I always smell when I enter


regions sacred to the people of Nakampe Gading. But, scent


it was more stinging and 20 meters down there, we could see the room


that's bright. The screams grew clearer as we began to approach


that room.


Scenery


inhumanity was immediately plastered before us, our blood roiling like


volcanic crater. Bianca's body was laid on a wet floor by


bloodbath. His hands and feet were firmly tied to the four iron pole stakes and


his body was not covered by a single cloth. Nude round. Meanwhile, the para


residents, especially male – men stand naked while staring at the Bianca


thrashing – ronta.


‘TINGGG...”.


Two iron bars


the flat was banged against each other, the man who stood the frontmost bowed


in front of Bianca, having clenched both her palms on her chest, she


have an intimate relationship with Bianca. The woman nodded, screaming and


crying pleads for mercy, but, no one cares about it.


Five minutes


already, Bianca had to struggle with the pain on her vitals. However, it turns out


the suffering did not end, as Mbah Jauhari struck two iron bars


flattened in his hand, the second man did the same. So do men


third, fourth and so on up to ten men.


When men


the eleventh was about to perform the same ritual, a loud cry came from


the crowd of residents who sit facing ANGKARA WRATH STATUE.


“Stop !!”


Joan appeared and


about to step toward Mbah Jauhari, but, Mr. Udin, Mr. Rusli and Pak


Sujar.


“Do not be stupid,


Ma'am Joan.. this must indeed be done to ..” Pak Udin's speech closed.


with Joan's left fist. Boy – the man was surprised, his nose was broken and


bloodied.


“You guys think


we're stupid, huh ? What kind of ritual is this to stain women in turns, basic


depraved immoral citizens !!” joan snapped while returning to land her fists


“You !”


sahut Pak Sujar on the others, “Do not be silent, arrest women do not know


this custom !!”


Some men –


the thick-bodied man immediately confronted and attacked Joan. Joan this time no


main – play, his hands and feet move there – here to throw the


his attacker while stepping forward was intending to head towards Bianca who was still


that helpless drown. But, held back by the citizens.


See the situation


which did not allow that, Joan jumped back. In front of the citizens


already standing up, preventing Joan from going inside.


Joan smiled


cynical and cold, “Hm. Alright, then,


I will not hesitate to – again,” he said while plucking two pieces


the knife was tucked in his waist. Me and Hudi are still infiltrating between


the crowd was horrified to see Joan's performance at the time. It's like


not the Joan I knew, but, more like a life-loving angel with


black clothes and sharp blades glittering – lightning on both hands.


“AAAKKKHHH


.....”


Crying


it surprised everyone, as they turned around, Mbah Jauhari had


cleaving the chest to the bottom of Bianca. Blood gushed out. Bianca's


jolting, his pair of eyes wide open, his mouth agape. Subsequent to


Mbah Jauhari removed all internal organs in Bianca's body, he threw out


the body that had been split into the pool. The pool water was clear


slowly – land reddened and the female residents one by one threw themselves


into that pool.


Unable


I described how we felt at the time, especially Joan. Joan shouted


shrill and his body moved quickly while his knife flashed snatched


tuesday – here. He hatched. Every blade flashed, the victim fell


in terrible circumstances. Joan's target was the neck of the Nakampe people


Ivory, no matter men or women.


Sendang Atmosphere


frenzied, blood splattered where – mana. Some residents tried to snatch


Joan by all means, but, Joan was too tough for them. Me and Hudi


looking at the incident from a rather hidden place. But suddenly my head


like being hit by something hard enough, my vision blurred and my consciousness slowly


– land disappeared.


When I


opening my eyes, I felt my back being held back by something


that was quite cold and a strange scent tickled my nose, my hands and feet bound, and,


and the first time I saw was Joan and Hudi. They are also tied up,


while his face was battered, looking down at the floor of the room. On the other hand,


the villagers seemed to sit cross-legged, his mouth was about – kamit, his eyes closed


and his face is down.


“TAPA BRATA's


YOGA SAMADHI, ready to do,” the owner of that heavy voice is Mbah Jauhari


standing not far beside us, “Lucky today we have 3 people


which is ready to be used as a mash for LELEPAH,” he said while accompanied by applause


and yel – yel from the residents who turned out to also be attended by residents


foreigners, we don't know them.


“Three young –


this mudi is very suitable for lelepah who have enriched NAKAMPE IVORY


this,” Mbah Jauhari began his speech as the audience began to calm down.


Joan began


conscious of his stupor, he looked limp, his body wet with blood and


sweat, while Hudi looked frightened.


“What to


we do now ?” whispered Hudi.


“We've already


failed to save Bianca. I also failed to protect you, just waiting


dead.” said Joan in despair, two clear dots flowing from the corner of her eye.


I fell silent


thousand languages, my eyes glare far away into the sky – sky room.


Some of the smoke from the incense and torch, covering it, I suddenly remembered


mbah buluk. My lips are vibrating and between conscious and unspoken, “Don't


worry, we still have people who can get us out of here,”


Joan looked at me, too,


one of his eyes is swollen and blue, “Who ? Babah Buluk, Mbah Joglo, Bella


or the other one ? They can't save us, Cel. Even if I


won the first title in the Taekwondo international, but,


in fact I'm trash,”


“Jo, all this time


... I know you as a strong, strong and courageous woman.


it's in your dictionary the word surrender. I


sure we can definitely get away from this place,” entertain me.


Just now I


closing my mouth, suddenly the whole room seemed to shake violently, even if only


a few minutes, enough to create a panic and tense atmosphere. Mbah Jauhari also looks


surprised, “Earthquake,” his sigh is slowly barely audible, yet we are the


bound not far from where he stood, he could hear it clearly


once.


“Old grandfather !!”


exclaim Joan arrived – arrived, “If you want to kill us. Just kill it is not necessary.


lots of bacots !! You hypocrite !!”


“Plak !”


Mr. Sujar


slapping Joan's cheek hard, making her lips break and adding to the facial wounds


Joan. Joan laughs profusely, “You are not a good person – well ! Your heart is rotten full


with the envy of the day, – purities and grudges, still pretending to be friendly ! I


won't let you go even as a ghost!!”


“Speak


as nice as your stomach, the boy stinks crap .. anyway, soon you won't be able to


babbling because we will chop and eat your meat,” said Mr. Sujar.


Just now


closing his mouth, suddenly a loud roar sounded and echoed.


“RRROOOOOAAAARRRR


!!!”


“Maybe, we


come late. But, don't worry, Mbah Buluk will give you a sign so that


you get ready – ready to ask Mbah Abang for help. We'll knock them out


all of you, get the hell out of this village. Problem, Mbah Jauhari, hand it over


on us, nduk...” that is the advice given by Mbah Buluk earlier when.


entering Sendang. I closed my eyes and lowered my face in –


in that moment, the face of Mbah Abang flashed, and I immediately read


the spell to summon Mbah Abang.


***


Barely


a white light hit me and in front of me stood an old woman


hunchback and red dress. He put both his hands on his back for a while


his pair of white eyeballs were staring at me. Even though his face looks


creepy, however, I felt a considerable aura within him, without


I realized I was nodding my head and she replied with a nod of her head. It


grinning turned his gaze towards Mbah Jauhari.


Mbah Jauhari


he looked surprised to jump in shock. Both knees were so powerless,


his body was shaking violently. Moreover the emergence of 2 tigers in the middle of –


middle room. Black Tiger and White Tiger.


Sudden wind


blow tight, from the direction of the air hole, a wisp of – wisps of thin white smoke


moving in, hovering – kites in the air and somewhere go rope –


the theme that ties our hands and feet. That thin white smoke swerving – contortion


like dancing in the air, forming a silhouette – strange silhouettes. Surround all


the person who was in that place.


Joan's Body


sagging down, he looked limp once. Even if he has a number champion


one world taekwondo, but what's the point of facing dozens of people. It


suffered a pretty bad injury. Buru – hunt me and Hudi holding the body


Joan before she touched the floor. The air around the room was stifling


chest, as if in the room was filled with strange air.


Mbah Abang's


turning his gaze toward me, like being moved by a power no


to our eyes, we left that place. Some people try to


blocking us, however, they suddenly bounced back a few acts.


Their eyes suddenly wild and violent gazes, scratching – hand-cranked feet


and body, grabbing hair and banging - banging head against wall while


sometimes crying, sometimes laughing uncontrollably. They are like people


the possessed.


The same event


experienced by other residents, they grabbed their own hair, rolled in


ground, scratching – hand, foot and body scratch, hit – knock head


on the floor or wall until it breaks


sometimes laugh, sometimes cry. The atmosphere is chaotic.


One of the events that made us unable to forget him was Mbah's head


Awayari separated from her body as the 2 tigers surrounded and tore –


shred his body and Mbah Abang burned everything inside the Sendang


with torch light. ANGKARA MURKA statue as if unmoved looking at


that incident. That very night, we left NAKAMPE IVORY in chaos


and the guilt of not being able to save Bianca, Pedro, Parto and


Icbal.
