Asphalt Edge Empty House

Chapter 9 The Perpetuation

Late in the evening, after a secret meeting with the Sandikala Members, Anton Wijaya walked towards another building behind the house. Right behind him Ronggo Joyo walked along with the sajen in hand.

Anton Wijaya opened the doors of teak wood carved with Jepara special flowers. The fragrant bushel of incense instantly burst into the nose. They both entered the room in which there was a statue with several keris and spear neatly arranged in a carved wooden container.

The walls of the room are decorated with paintings of the queen of the south coast. While underneath there is a long wooden table with two brass bokor pieces that each contain incense and seven-shaped flower water.

"Put that sajen here Nggo. We're gonna start the ritual now."

"Good on."

Anton Wijaya sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes full of concentration reciting the Javanese song. Ronggo Joyo was right behind doing the same thing.

Instantly the aura of the room turned mystic. Things vibrate rowdy. The statue that was worshipped by Anton Wijaya moved then a female figure with a crown appeared through the statue.

"What do you want this time humans?"

The figure of the beautiful woman standing hovering before Anton spoke with a heart-stirring echoing voice.

"Help us get rid of the man in this photo by the queen."

"He's a descendant of Susena, it's not easy to get rid of a man protected by the blood covenant. They've been guarded by hereditary mountain lords."

The beautiful creature Anton calls the queen's kingpin, reminding them that the enemy they will face, not a random person, Anton must be prepared for the risk.

"Can't we touch the queen at all, please help us."

"Of course you can, but the price you have to pay is very expensive, can you?"

"Whatever the conditions are for the queen, we'll work on it, but please get this man out of our way."

"Haha..."

"You're really greedy Anton Wijaya, I like ambitious humans like you. Don't forget to add the tumbar to my full moon. I need them to be my slaves."

"Well queen kanjeng, I've prepared three virgins for the queen's kanjeng at the full moon ritual."

"You're such a loyal follower of Anton's kind heart, I hope you won't let me down."

"Haha...!"

The figure of the golden-crowned woman laughed and disappeared into the statue in front of Anton Wijaya. The two men opened their eyes and stood up from their seats and left the building.

"We are just waiting for news, may our desire to eliminate Martin and his colleagues succeed Nggo."

"I hope so too Anton. Martin has been making trouble with us for a long time, I think it's time to get rid of the sharp pebbles from the road."

"Thank you for always supporting me Nggo. If you hadn't saved Leo, maybe today I'd have cut off the boy's finger."

"Our family has been with the Wijaya family for decades, even Anton mas already consider me as a brother, it is appropriate that I take care of this family with my own life mas."

"But this time I have a special request Nggo, please pay attention to Leo, the boy needs to be guided. I used to spoil him too much, so his disposition was hard and hard to manage."

"I will advise him, from now on as much as possible I will prevent Leo from doing silly again like yesterday."

"In the meantime the full moon ritual, please prepare everything not to be lacking. I don't want us to get hit by reinforcements because of the queen's wrath. Once I've lost a child, don't repeat Nggo."

"Excuse me, Anton do not worry, I will supervise directly the details of the preparation of the tumbal ceremony. We need to please the queen so Martin can be silenced."

"Thank you you are a true friend, I need someone like you by my side."

The two friends walked towards the main house while discussing all the things about the plan to attack Martin and all his colleagues.

Early Monday, at the Surya news agency, Linda was busy writing news articles about the death of Black Rose employee named Agus. The news is still warm so the conversation of the city residents because the perpetrators are still not caught.

In front of the office courtyard, two police officers stood guard with full weapons accompanied by a security guard. Since the terror bombing the police deliberately put officers on guard.

At nine in the morning Wira's car entered the parking lot of the Solar News Agency, today she plans to meet Linda to persuade the journalist to join the mission she will lead.

"Good morning Lin, sorry to come this morning. There's something I want to talk to you about. Can we have a little chat outside?"

"Oh of course sir, for the commander of the Hero I always have a lot of time. We're talking in the coffee shop ahead, sir."

Linda made a suggestion while standing up, tidying up her laptop. The hero immediately accepted Linda's proposal, then they both walked towards the coffee shop which was right across the street.

"So what do we want to talk about, sir, how does it seem so serious?"

"Look Lin, you remember the case of girl X, actually her name is Hana, she's the best friend of the woman who killed herself in the mall."

"Where do you know?"

"You remember the locket we found, the photo in the locket was Hana. Because of that locket, he was present in my dream."

"Father dreams about the girl in the morgue?"

"Yes Lin, from that dream I got his name."

"Means we can find his family dong sir?"

"Hana's an orphan, I just found out that Renata, the girl who killed herself in the mall is her best friend."

"Mother Renata has told me everything, and my guess is concocting on Leo Hadi Wijaya the owner of Black Rose."

"So you've met his family?"

"This is going to be big news, let me write this news sir!"

Linda looks eager to follow the journey of Hana's case, she hopes that Wira involves her in the case so that she can write news about Hana exclusively.

"My goal is to see you, indeed to invite you to join Hana's case mission."

In the Naga Jaya office of the group, Anton Wijaya looks worried, he focuses on staring at the sky from a large window next to his desk.

"May there be a sign given today's queen's kanjeng."

In anxiety waiting for a sign from a creature he called the queen kanjeng. Anton Wijaya was shocked by someone who broke into his study.

"Hallo Mr. Anton Wijaya, glad to see you're okay this morning, thanks for your delivery last night."

The presence of a man named Martin made Anton Wijaya shocked. He could not believe that the man hugging him right now was Martin his business competitor.

"Don't worry Mr. Anton, just a little wound, I won't retaliate yet, but next time you'll feel the consequences if you dare open war."

"I'm sure you won't be able to stand up again."

Martin whispered in Anton Wijaya's ear with threatening words. Afterwards Martin patted the rival's shoulder, then left.

Anton Wijaya could see Martin's right hand wrapped in bandages. He was furious while hitting the table with his head.

"This time you're just lucky Martin, but next time I'll make sure you come here on all fours."

Ronggo Joyo walked over to Anton Wijaya, he saw an angry expression on the face of the group's Director General of Naga Jaya.

"Relaxed Anton we didn't fail, I saw he was hurt, meaning the thing we sent was through the fence."

"We're just lucky Nggo, maybe last night Martin's apprenticeship was at a weak point. But next time we won't be able to beat him."

Ronggo tries to comfort Anton Wijaya, to assuage his anger. He thought of a way to protect Anton Wijaya and his family from martin's revenge attack.

"I must immediately hold a ritual, Martin is not a random person who can be underestimated."

Ronggo Joyo leaves Anton Wijaya who has begun to calm down. He immediately drove his classic mercy towards an old building located on the edge of the forest outside the city of Surabaya.

Two more hours drive he arrived at a rocky dirt road. A few hundred meters later, Ronggo stopped in the courtyard of an old Dutch church-like building.

Behind the building there are many tomb tombs without tombstones that line up to the forest boundary.

Residents around never know the history of this building, they just call it a house edge asphalt.

In the afternoon, the building that the mountain slope inhabitants called as the asphalt tip house, will look very gloomy. A thick wingit aura felt around the building.

Those who are unlucky because they are late home after searching for wood in the forest, often see the appearance of large tall creatures near the twin banyan in the yard.

That's why no one else dared to cross there. Residents around never even know that in the house the tip of the asphalt on a certain night is always used as a place of ritual tumbal.

Ronggo walked in through a large door, inside which he lit several torches as a source of illumination.

Next Ronggo walked down the aisle and down the stairs behind the altar, with a lantern in hand. He stepped slowly towards the stuffy and dark basement.

Ronggo placed the lantern on the stone floor and sat in a sigil-shaped circle and then meditated to summon the black power that was residing.

The song of the mantra is sung, then briefly then Ronggo's body shakes violently like an electric shock.

"Big...!"

Ronggo grinned like a wild beast, then moments later he collapsed on the floor unconscious until morning.

Long enough for Ronggo to awaken, he found his clothes torn apart, with blood-filled wounds around his chest and back.

Grimacing withstanding the pain Ronggo sat staggering. He closed his eyes for a moment, then tried to get up and walked limped out of the old building.

The sun had risen, the sky was yellow to Ronggo emasan get into the car and briefly then the classic mercy was speeding back to Surabaya.

Somewhere Martin was taking a bandage off his right hand. The pain spread to his brain, several times he catapulted the maki caci by calling the name Anton Wijaya.

"Akgghk.sial Anton Wijaya, you have to pay for this pain."

An old woman in black felt Martin's blistered hands, a heat flowing all over her body, slowly rubbing her blistered hands with the herbs.

Martin was in pain, he fainted from not being able to endure the intense pain in his right hand.

The old woman smiled cynically, she let Martin's body lie on top of a bamboo hall, while she walked into the room to perform the ritual.

An hour later, an old black woman came out of the room, checking for burns on Martin's hand that had disappeared completely.

"Martinu.. Martin.. Wake up..!"

As if he had just regained consciousness from sleep, Martin opened his eyes and saw that his blistered hand had healed without a trace.

"You haven't healed well, drink this potion for three days so that your internal wound is completely healed."

"Good ma'am thank you, I will definitely finish this potion."

"Who do you have a problem with, son, why are your wounds so bad?"

"Anton Wijaya, the owner of Naga Jaya group ma'am."

"He has a heart that cannot be underestimated, your mother advised not to be hostile to him."

"But Martin has to teach that guy a lesson, he has to pay cash for my pain ma'am."

"You're as stubborn as father, yes it's up to you, I'm no longer willing to interfere with worldly affairs. This is all I can give you, I hope you're given salvation."

Martin squealed, kissing the finger of the woman he called his mother. The woman rubbed Martin's hair with a sad look and gave him a small keris.

"I say goodbye, ma'am, take good care of your mother."

The old woman did not answer, she just stood there to let Martin go with a bitter smile, as if she already knew what would happen to her son.
