After coming home from Mbah Jayos I was like a dazed man. Because in the exam this time, I had to take the girl who was so troublesome, and even the lame girl who could do nothing, apart from
playing with that little creature.
Arriving at home, to relieve my fatigue, I played briefly with Leina and Tiara, yes playing PS2 which two years ago I bought for them as their sixth birthday, he said, even if I have to drain a little of my savings. Duuh!
At that time, there were no PS2 games that were really devoted to girls, so we played Dynasty Warrior and also Harvestmoon together. At that moment, I realized how much fun it was
play along. The anxiety, fear, and worry was immediately lost to see the ridiculous behavior and innocence of both of them.
After playing an exciting game, came Danang who told me to follow him. I immediately placed the PS2 stick on the floor, which was immediately grabbed by Leina, and I hurried to follow Danang.
“What's up, Nang?” manya curious.
“Dad called you, brother. He said he needed you about the Immas family,” replied that sounded stiff, tense, etc.
The two of us arrived at the main hall, and immediately rested, paying homage to Mr. Zaenal Abidin, as my own father. There have been gathered father, mother, brother Vita, Mr. Son, Mr. Khoirul, Mbah Gel, Mr. Khubinada, Mr. Helim, Easy Eyeang, Mas Nanang, Mas Toni, and Mbah Adi.
They called me for one purpose.
Immas Family.
They all knew that I was assigned by Mbah Jayos to partner with Mela who came from the strange, mysterious, and also terrible Immas family.
“If it is all a decision from Mbah Jayos, I will accept it,” I said at that time was resigned to everything that will happen in the future. “Lagian, we both have also been betrothed, ‘kan?”
My mother and sister Vita looked at me with sadness. As if they didn't want me to pair up with the Immas family's daughter.
“Umam, do you know the consequences for your words just now!?” my father was furious and slapped me. “You will harm yourself by stepping on the ground in that family. Understand!?”
Easy, as my own eyes look at me, “Le, it's true we've poked you both. We who are your eyes feel guilty about it. But the situation is different now. The Immas family already intends to invite us to the final war, son!”
“But at least, there's Mela and Vira, right? They are both good girls who don't want war between us.” I replied in self-defense.
“Vira?” they looked at each other, looking at each other in wonder. “Didn't he have died three years ago, three months before Astrid died. Don't you remember it?”
The deg!
My feelings were mixed at the time. I can forget that event. An ironic event that has provoked Mela's anger and grief. An incident that brought Mela out of school, which after that incident, I did not hear anything from her.
Has anyone erased my memory??
Yeah, it seems like it is. Because I also feel that I do not remember anything about Astrid's death and how she was when she died. All I remember is that Jin Watsin and Jin Ifrit were there, but I don't know if it was really the two genies who killed him.
“ Anyway, you better undo the request from Mbah Jayos, Mam. Because we don't know what the Immas family is planning to do in that exam,” Mr. Son advised me. Although he was only a friend of father, but our family already considered him as part of the core of the Marwan family. “Especially as I have heard from Mbah Gel if your magic has been sealed by Mbah Jayos,”
“We agree with what was said by Mr. Son,” said Mr. Ubin and Mr. Helim enthusiastically.
“Iya, son! We were afraid that anything would happen to you when you set foot there.” Mr. Khoirul who had been silent since then finally added.
I was silent, downcast, staring at my feet while thinking carefully what I was going to do. Accept Mbah Jayos' request to invite Mela or reject her and I will find a new partner to take the test.
The man beside me pinched my arm and told me to decide immediately.
“I've decided! I will still invite Mela in the exam this time, no or with the blessing of all of you,” answered me who has been steady to decide. “I understand your concerns, but I have accepted Mbah Jayos' request, and I am not the one who will withdraw my own!”
Of course everyone there who heard my answer was immediately shocked not to play, even my father who had a high tempramental was surprised to almost make his heart dislodged.
“That's my grandson's new,” said Mbah Adi and Easy Eyeang together accompanied by a relieved smile.
“Yes, if it goes well,” continued Mr. Toni who seemed hesitant to hear my words just now, yes even though I don't care anyway.
“Hah, I forgot that you inherited the hard nature of my head and also your brother, Satori.” My father, who was still holding his chest, shook his head. “Just don't let you trigger a war in
between the two families there! If you can, you must marry her immediately in order to create peace between the two families, Mam!”
“Le, since there is something to talk about, you, Danang, and Vita should come out first.” Ask Easy to Calm. She is the grandmother and wife of Alm. Satori, grandfather. “We don't want any little kids like you to hear our talk,”
Not wanting to think so much about what they were going to talk about, me, Danang, and also Brother Vita immediately walked out of the main hall.
I immediately rushed towards my room to tidy up my room from the dust and such. Not long after, there was a knock on the door from outside my room. There I found that brother Vita and Danang were sculpting, and wanted to enter my room.
They want to talk six eyes to me.
Not wanting to linger, I allowed the two of them to enter my room which was already clean because I just cleaned.
“Umam, there's something we both want to talk to you about,” said Mr. Vita who is so flat but serious. “This is all about your stubborn desire to invite Mela to be your partner
in the exam later,” he added.
I just let out a long breath, “This again brother? Didn't I tell you in the hall?”
“Iya right, but do you understand that─” kak Vita directly stopped Danang's speech earlier. It seems he wants to talk to me first.
“What time?’ I was full of suspicion.
“If there's been any suspicious movement from that family lately. Looks like the family has started to move to collect the Septo Tapo from various places,” replied Kak Vita seriously.
His eyes did not blink for a second, showing how serious his words were. And this is the style of it. “Nana has read every move of the family from her tarot card. Anyway you have to be careful with them, especially to Mela!”
“Lho, it's just people from his family, not Mela. Why should I be wary of him?”
“Because he is the one leading the family now. Since he lost his sister, things have not gone well for him or our family. They unannouncedly cut off the long-established relationship, and they .. disappeared!”
“What? Disappeared you said!?”
They both nodded. I wonder if they just wanted to say that so that I would undo my intention to meet him tomorrow? But how could they do it, because they are my brothers and sisters.
I then patted their shoulders. “Calm down, I'll be fine. Just pray that I am protected by Allah SWT and that all your suspicions and anxieties about the family are unproven!”
The two of them looked at each other. I was surprised to see the behavior of both, but my astonishment was answered when I saw the two brothers handed over a pair of bracelets similar to the bracelet used to decorate the cellphone.
They told me to take it and wear it. I accept it with pleasure of course. They warned not to release the two bracelets during their stay at the Immas family residence.
“Just don't let you take it off yes, brother,” pinta Danang with full request this time I want to obey his wishes. “Now the science of kanuragan brother has been sealed by Mbah Jayos, so we can only give this as an intermediary of Allah SWT to protect brother.”
I smiled hearing it. “Still yes, deck!”
I turned to look at Brother Vita who was still ringing about something that still troubled his mind. I asked him what it was, but he just shook his head, as if nothing had happened. But looking at her behavior, it made me believe there was something hidden by her.
I tried asking him again. “What's up, brother?”
“Just be careful with Mela. She's not the girl you knew. And ... try to find out where Mr Rudi is!” the answer is that he doesn't seem to want to talk much.
“Heavy Mela? Why?”
“Have not asked much. That's just the request of brother,” he replied cynically. Kak Vita was without reprimand again immediately left my room followed by Danang.
I was just dumbfounded to see my brother's behavior, which is usually full of laughter, turn into that. I patted my cheeks to wake me up from the daydream.
...
To make the whole story short, let’s begin with our main story.
The next morning, after participating in the congregational Fajr prayer at Pak Makros Mushola, I immediately got ready, preparing my provisions to meet Mela at her home on the border of Malang-Blitar city. And after everything was ready, I hurried to put it in my school bag. Not to forget I also brought souvenirs in the form of market snacks and a favorite red watermelon.
I came out in a hurry because I didn't want to make Aris wait long. Oh yes, this time I invited him to accompany me to go to the Mela residence, yes even though he only wanted to take me anyway.
When I came out of the room, I suddenly accidentally hit Tiara until I fell down and cried. Leina who saw me immediately called my mother, my mother came and immediately pushed my skin until it felt hot and sick.
“If the road is careful dong! See that your sister is crying, ‘kan?” my mother said scolding me. His hands were folded like a puppet. “Partially you don't have to rush like that. Why would
are you in a hurry?”
“Not why, ma'am! I was just waiting for Aris. So, I didn't want to make her wait any longer, and everything happened so quickly ..” replied I was defending myself over my mother's framing.
I turn my head towards Tiara, “I'm sorry big brother, Tiara. Really brother accidentally earlier!”
Tiara immediately wiped the remains of her tears that still wet her cute and innocent face. “Yes, it's okay! As an apology, you should bring some good food as soon as you get home. Must be yes, sister!”
These two sisters of mine. Always try to get my attention. And surely the edges must buy something to get an apology from them.
After that slightly tense conversation, I rushed towards the front gate of the house, there was already waiting for Aris with his satriya motorbike which was ready to take me to the Immas family residence.
“How long have you been out, Mam! I'm almost home!” the first sentence that came out of Aris's mouth was just complaints and complaints. “If you don't go there, by the way dong, don't make me wait long gini!”
I immediately hurriedly stopped his steps that were ready to turn his satriya motorbike. “Eh .. yes, so-so!”
“OK, come!” bring him.
We finally headed to the Immas residence. On the way, Aris unceasingly invited me to chat, but few interested me in making a sound. Among them is why on the roadside we are welcomed by hundreds, even thousands of beautiful girls who sing Javanese songs.
I sparingly told him not to care about all that, because as Aris knew also they were the people of the Jinn who had served Immas family. Moreover, it was a proof that the guest had been greeted by the host, which meant that the host already knew that we both wanted to meet him.
“Gile! They're all fucks, cok!” said Aris cursed to see what was on the side of the road not so friendly.
“Lo is the son of a kyai! Not most coks, that cok! Not ashamed of what? Didn't you already know that they are the creatures of the jinn. They came to welcome us,”, I replied a little eneg hear the swearing of Aris earlier. Kyai kok's son. “Udah let's speed up the motor. We have been waiting for the host!”
“Enak! My father is my father, not me. So fine-fine if I'm like this. My science is way above you know!”
Then, with a feeling of emotion because of the run out of the bike, he also accelerated the speed of the bike, fast so much that it scared me a little.
Two hours later, we finally reached our destination. The Immas family residence. The residence contains people who were enemies of the Marwan family for more than two centuries. A family who serve and worship Nyi Imas, their predecessor, without being invited to worship God, Allah SWT.
I got off Aris' motorbike, looking around the house. There was no one and nothing that passed there like when I first visited. Everything feels quiet and quiet. There was an atmosphere around the house
it was dark, and I could not even see the light of sunlight through the trees that surrounded the outside of the house.
The Immas family residence house is completely isolated with other neighboring houses. It was at least three hundred meters away, and it had to cross the river.
Really am! If other people see this scene, you will run away in fear.
I immediately pressed the bell beside the front gate of the house, but no one answered or came to find the sound of the bell I had rang. I pressed for a second to fifth time, but no one showed up.
Until I pushed the bell seven times, which was like the number Mela liked, only a medieval European maid came and opened the door for me.
“Welcome, young master. Miss Mela has been waiting for the arrival of the master from earlier. If you please you come inside with me,” said the maid was friendly. Even he put his right hand on his left chest while bowing his body saluted.
The Immas family did teach their servants to have such manners.
Unwilling to wait for the servant who had walked ten steps, I hurried to follow him from behind. Feeling an unpleasant feeling or fear of anything happening to me, Aris canceled her intention to go home and rushed after me.
When the two of us entered the house, there was no deep magical feeling like outside. We were both welcome to sit on the sofa in the living room, while the maid I didn't know her name immediately went into one of the most distant back rooms to call out to Mela.
While the waiter wasn't there, we both chatted.
“Mam, actually I didn't want to follow you into this house. But when I felt a huge and vague negative aura, I decided to follow you. I am worried about your decision to enter this house,” said Aris who seemed to have been seen shaking it.
“Iya, I know. I feel the same feeling too. The aura here is very concentrated and much different from when I visited here three years ago,” replied me who also felt what Aris felt. Honestly, at that time I was creeped out in fear, especially now that my science is sealed by my great-grandmother.
“Just if you're done with your business here, we need to get the hell out of here. Understand?”
“Iya deh, I agree.”
Not long after, Mela came out still wearing her sharp, which was still open on her upper arm, slightly showing her already beautiful cleavage.
We both immediately turned to look at her. “Astagfirullah ..!”
Without heeding our words, he rushed to run and jumped at me, until the sofa I was sitting on fell. Even her cleavage touched a part of my body.
Duh, fortunately I am ready mentally born-inner, otherwise I would be tempted.
“Darling, finally we both meet again!” said Mela who seemed to have missed me so much. “I'm glad to see you again, darling, darling!” he added.
After she took off her arms from me, I stood up and confirmed my sofa. Mela, unwilling to separate from me, invited me to sit on a longer sofa near the sofa that Aris was sitting on, without letting go of her arms to my right arm.
“Ehm, it looks like I missed ya here.” Aris said thumping looking at Mela's ridiculous behavior towards me. Duh, this weird girl never changes.
Not caring about what Aris said just now, Mela still stuck to me. “Darling, you brought me souvenirs, ‘kan?”
“Eh, yes. This is a snack from my mother. And this is also your favorite snack from me. Red watermelon. Accepted yah!” I said as I handed the plastic bag and the plastic container to Mela. He was happy to accept it too.
When I was about to say what we meant, like he already knew what I meant, he said. “Yes I know. About the Test of Faith, right? If you're the one who asked me, I'll definitely approve.”
When the two of us were busy chatting and Aris was busy with her smartphone, came the two servants of Mela who immediately put down snacks that look luxurious and delicious and tea drinks that look thick.
“Oh yes, Mela. Where's your dad? How do you seem to live in this house alone accompanied by your servants?” I was trying to solve my suspicions over this house. Moreover, I want to find out what Kak Vita said about telling me to look for the whereabouts of Mr. Rudi, Mela's father.
Mela seemed to be trying to dodge my question. He even let go of his tight hug from my arm and moved to the other sofa. I did not suspect anything, I immediately grabbed a glass containing tea
the warm that looks thick was followed by Aris who had slightly drank the tea.
I did not find any suspicion about the tea, and we both drank a little sweet tea.
Until ...
“Please, please ..!” a scream for help from someone. But I know whose voice this is. Yes, it was the voice of Mr. Rudi, Mela's father. “Please save me, I don't want to die this way!”
We both looked at each other, trying to ascertain if we really heard that voice of help. But none of us knew where the screams came from.
“Mela, please, get your father out, get me out of here. I will treat you like my daughter, and all your wishes will surely be fulfilled!” mr. Rudi's voice begged.
The voice was heard again, but again we do not know where the voice came from, even when Aris issued a science of canuragan and his inner eye to track the whereabouts of Mr. Rudi. In addition, I turned my head towards Mela, and I tried to force her to tell me where her father was.
But before that, there was a feeling where the voice came from a red jade necklace that Mela was wearing. As the voice rang out, it was seen that the red jade was slightly emitting a beautiful reddish glow, albeit on a small scale.
“Mela, may I ask you something?” I asked myself to ask her something. “Where is Mr Rudi, your father?”
Mela immediately let out a long sigh and all her behavior changed instantly. That faint pitch-black aura we could suddenly feel so strongly coming out of Mela's body. Makes our bodies cramped and hot.
Do not stop there, the thick sweet tea was immediately turned into thick blood that smells rancid and terrible. We used our inner eyes, but the blood drink
it really can't be seen by either of us.
“Ah, it seems like the old man is completely unfamiliar with the condition huh? Though I was engrossed in making out with my future fiancee,” said Mela grinning, giving an evil smile to both of us.
“You're not Mela! Who are you!?” I snapped while enduring the pain that began to spread throughout my body.
Suddenly Aris vomited a lot of blood, both from his mouth, nose, ears, and both eyes. I panicked at the time, not knowing what to do to get out of here, because I was sure that
Mela couldn't have let us out of her house.
Mela flicked her finger, and Aris' time stopped.
“I'm Mela, but I'm not Mela like I used to be, Mam. And if you want to know where my father is, I'll show you something.” His answer sounded flat and did not feel alive. “Risa, come here ..!”
Then came the maid who had opened the gate for us. He paid tribute to me and Mela.
“Risa, show your true self to a child who doesn't know that he has plunged into a black hellhole!” get Mela. Risa swiftly took off her glasses, took off her hairpin, and looked like a very beautiful girl.
However, after seeing his face and the look of his eyes that were so miserable and empty, I realized that he was not Risa, but Mr. Rudi. What exactly did Mela do to Mr Rudi??
“Pak Rudi's? What have you done to him, Mela?!” tanyaku. Mela continued to smile only to find my attitude of surprise for everything that happened.
“I killed him, that's it!” the answer looks enthusiastic. “The body I change into a woman, to serve me at all times, while the spirit, as you have already noticed, I put it in this red pendant necklace!”
“Why, Mela? Why are you doing all this?? You are one of three people from the Immas family who do not want war and want to live peacefully like humans in general,”
“Ah, you mean grandpa and also Vira, huh? Did you know they were killed, Mam?” the question went back, “They were both killed by Mr. Rudi, as my own father, and it was all on the orders of some higher-ups in the Marwan family,”
I looked at Mela with an already unstoppable look of rage and fury. I take out a knife that has been prayed with the chants of the verses of the Qur’an by Mr. Macros from the waist of Aris, and
I used it to attack Mela.
Without even budging, Mela happily accepted the knife. Although the prick hit his stomach, but not a single drop of blood came out, even myself was sprawled, covered with blood coming out of my stomach.
“Risa, take the two of them home to the Marwan family residence now, and come back before anyone sees you!” tell Mela to turn around, turn her back on me.
I saw at that moment, she shed tears, either tears of regret or tears of happiness. After that, I fell unconscious.
