40 Days
Chapter 18
'' What happened to your brother? " ask old Grandpa, pigtail the place.
'' Twenty days ago, this brother of my friend died in an accident there. The spirit of his sister has not been calm, some residents and even my friend has also seen the appearance of the spirit. I think all this because his spirit is still restrained and trapped in this place, Syafa said.
The old grandfather laughed out loud, shaking his head as he continued to laugh.
Arman and Syafa look at each other to see the reaction of the old Grandfather who they think is strange because they have laughed at the story of Syafa.
'' You know where you guys are, huh? Do not just talk and accuse without proof, said the grandfather after being satisfied with his laughter. But now instantly his face turned fierce and seriously staring at them.
'' We do not have any evidence we are here to look for evidence, Syafa stressed.
'' What will you look for in this beautiful and beautiful village? The accident was purely due to the negligence of man himself had nothing to do with this place.'' The old grandfather sat back down, this time he sat face to face with them.
'' Sorry cake, I just want to make sure that our brother's Jeni spirit is really not stuck here. I am here to ask Grandpa for permission, because we will go into the forest beside the climb there, Syafa said.
'' From some events that have been experienced, the climb holds a lot of mystery even Grandpa himself had helped someone trapped there, too, one of the victims of an accident in the last years. I not only hear the news, but know directly from the person concerned. '' Syafa stared fixedly at the old man before her. The man was flabbergasted at Syafa's words.
'' Nonsense, there is no mystery or anything here. Who said it like that? '' her chortle. He kept trying to hide what he knew.
'' Wijaya, do you know that name? " safa asked probing, he was sure if the old man was not senile and still remembered his great-grandfather who had experienced mystical things in this place.
The old grandfather was stunned, he narrowed his eyes until the folds in the area grew wrinkled. His shadow remembers the events of a few years ago, deadly events that killed many lives in the 80s.
'' Wijaya is my great-grandfather. He was struck by a calamity that brought him to another realm. Though his body is still alive but his tribe is trapped in this place. He said if someone helped him out of the place, someone named Sugeni. '' Syafa's eyes intimidated the old man in front of him even more, especially when Syafa mentioned the old man's name.
Sugeni the name of Kuncen village X, or the elder of the region. Sugeni again gasped to hear the narration of the girl in front of him, who said that Wijaya was his great-grandfather.
The past long before this place was inhabited by many humans. Jin had already lived there first, more precisely in the location of the red climb. The name of the red climb was only given lately after a lot of blood and lives were pounded there.
Many people believe that the forest next to the red climbs is a place for dedemites who can give glory. Not a few people visit the place to ask for something, such as wanting wealth, wanting to rise positions or even people who are in debt, they flocked to the red climbs with different intentions and intentions.
Red hill is a sacred site for residents there. They believe that there is a waiter for the place named Dewi Rengganis and her husband Sewu ireng which is a genderewo type dedemit. As time went on, there were no more humans who dared to come to that place, those who used to meditate or perform the ritual of pesugihan was now no longer there. The news that circulated one by one of them died because they could not qualify the collision for the dedemites there.
Until there was speculation among the public that the dedemites were angry because they could not fulfill their wishes, dedemit also asked for victims every year by causing fatal accidents around the red climb area.
A lot of blood must flow in the area into the offerings of the dedemites. Even supposedly his words, the people who died there would be their slaves and employed in the realm of the dedemites. Including the people who used to ask for glory from the place. Until the place is named red climb, which means blood climb.
Listening to Sugeni's story made Syafa and Arman spend quite a lot of time.
'' How is Wijaya, your great-grandfather? '' asked Sugeni after telling a long story about the origin of the red climb.
'' Grandpa Wijaya has died since I was a child, replied Syafa.
Arman rounded his eyes, surprised to hear the words of Shafa. If Wijaya's grandfather had died a long time ago why was the girl said that she knew about the red climb directly from the mouth of Wijaya.
Likewise with Sugeni, he knitted his forehead not understanding.
'' I communicate with him through the inner eye, Shafa said. Sugeni then mangosteen, he now knows if this girl named Syafa is not an arbitrary girl. The possibility of his expertise was derived from Wijaya which also has the same privilege.
No doubt if Wijaya can survive the accident disaster a few years ago, he does have advantages so difficult for the dedemites to take his life. It's just that Vijaya's tribe was stuck there while his own body was almost buried because people thought he died. At that time, Wijaya was dead. Sugeni helped Wijaya at that time because he got money from an ancestor who came to him to save the tribe of Wijaya who was trapped in the red slope.
How can Sugeni help Wijaya? Sugeni negotiated with the dedemites to release Vijaya from their hands. Either agreement what he did with the dedemit there so that they could easily release the Vijaya tribe. Since that time, Sugeni began to be made a pigeon because of his success in conquering the two red climbing ruler dedemit. Although no one knows what rewards Sugeni gave to redeem Vijaya's tribe. Because until now the place remains negligent (crash-prone roads) that take a lot of casualties. Can't Sugeni stop the dedemit?
