BUNCHES

CHAPTER 21

Cici looked back at the Upik Kingdom, whispering inwardly, "If Abi really married this woman! Will I lose my husband again!? Abi... wake up, Bi...!"

Cici gently rubbed Akmal's back, which was already not as cold as they had initially met.

Akmal regained his senses, opened his eyes slowly, staring at Cici. The wife he loved so much, even the one who had given him a beautiful daughter, as beautiful as Mira.

"Ami...!! Aaaaugh. This hurts so much..." Akmal felt the back part that felt pain and very painful.

"Pig... Abi has returned.I'm sorry, Bi...!" cici's cry broke again as she hugged Akmal's body.

Upik Raya, who witnessed the intimacy of the husband and wife, threw away her gaze from the strange feeling she felt.

Grandfather Mangkuto Malin stared at Upik Raya, "So baa? Wakatu kito ndak much, apo nio you're cool?" (So how? We don't have much time, what do you want to say)

Datuk stared fixedly at the eyes of Raya who was getting closer to Akmal.

"Ambo nio mambaok Datuak Rajo Mudo ka Bunian! We're nio baralek gadang, Tuak...!" (I want to bring Datuk Rajo Mudo to Bunian! We're gonna have a big party, Tuk!) I said that sentence in front of Cici.

Hearing Raya's request, making Cici as wife bow to Bunian woman who wants her husband.

"Don't.please love my daughter! I will do anything, as long as you don't take my husband!" cici's cry broke again, making Sunna hug Cici's body which still looks weak.

"Mak, please Cici! There's no way Cici will lose Abi Mira!" Cici embraced Sunna's arm, which was still holding her.

Datuk Mangkuto Malin and Raya whispered to each other, asking for conditions if he had to leave Bunian, because this would be a big problem for Datuk Rajo Omeh in the other world.

Back Datuak Mangkuto Malin, entering a different world, performing rituals that seem increasingly heavy. The conditions proposed are very burdensome for Akmal because of the ban he did some time ago.

Datuak Mangkuto Malin's jaw growled, teeth clashing like stifled emotions, so he again relented to Akmal and Cici.

Back Datuak Mangkuto Malin opened his closed eyes because of his ritual, staring at Cici and Raya alternately.

Akmal is being carried out overall recovery by Sunna, a middle-aged woman who has the knowledge to restore spirit for people who are lost.

"Son, the wrong Datuak manantu, Datuak's manantu who takes it for granted at the ko location! So nio ndak nio, you have to bring Raya ka kadiaman you as many bini in the natural world ndak samo! Kok indak, Rayo nan ka mambao Akmal now ko juo. Baa raso hearts son, Datuak?" (Son, Datuk's wrong son-in-law, Datuk's daughter-in-law who is taking things for granted at our location! So inevitably, you must bring the Kingdom of your residence as a wife in a different world! Otherwise, Raya will take Akmal now. How do you feel about my son?"

Datuk Mangkuto Malin, gave Cici a choice.

Hearing the request, which he thought was unreasonable, but he had to do it for the sake of his happiness with his husband, Cici looked back at the face of Upik Raya who was very cool to the eye, and was very happy to see her, but it cannot be seen by the eyes of others in the real world.

"Do you love my husband? If I allow my husband to take you, will you still take his life, and bring him to your world's Bunian!?" Cici asked with a trembling voice, holding back the turbulent roar in her heart.

Cici stared fixedly at Akmal, "Is it true what this Bunian woman said?" that was the only question she could ask her beloved husband.

Akmal nodded confirming, he had made a mistake some time ago, while traveling with his best friend Sony. While spending time in 'Bandrek Hause' located in the foothills, the Riau-Sumbar causeway.

They traveled during the holidays that brought Mira and Sony's favorite son, without bringing Cici because of the work of the wife at that time.

They rested in nine, until the afternoon, and chose to return to Pekanbaru because only touring without staying overnight.

Since Akmal threw away his wish, in a big stone that was unknown to Sony and anyone at that time, since then Akmal also like to be a quiet man, and always aloof.

Those feelings, without her knowing it, greatly disturbed Cici as a wife due to the presence of a bad train on the night before her husband's departure.

Cici hugged Akmal again, however she wanted her husband to stay with her. This is a sign of fate, for Cici. Whatever he has to accept the reality though bitter.

"So what should I prepare?" Cici again asked looking at Datuk and Sunna last on Raya.

Datuak Mangkuto Malin gave a choice, "Kok iyo son Datuak nio mambaok Upiak Rayo ka your life, kito will do marriage in the nyato world! The crew of baralek gadang was atiko on kasambangan day. But as Datuak Rajo Omeh requests, get something from your son's great-grandson Datuak, Mira!" (If the Grandpa's son wants to bring the Great Upik into your life, we will do marriage in the real world! We're having a big party here, on the ninth day. However, as Datuak Rajo Omeh requests, something is taken from the great-grandson of Datuk, your son, Mira!)

Sentence request from Datuk Rajo Omeh, very burdensome for Cici. But whatever the power, Cici must make a decision to save the husband of the soul mate of the afterlife.

"For what, Grandpa? Didn't Cici try to accept Raya as their wife!?" Cicci came back crying.

Datuak Mangkuto Malin again explained, "It was as a request from Datuak Rajo Omeh, because you are the master of the Kingdom of Omeh sacaro nyato through the inner mato of Mira son, crew." (It was as a request from Datuak Rajo Omeh, because you have seen the Omeh Kingdom realistically through the inner eyes of your son Mira)

Cici rested his body resigned, on the edge of the wooden couch where they currently rest.

So heavy, what will be experienced by Princess Mira kasayangan, it feels unfair. Cici looked back at Raya, "Will my daughter be deformed?" his voice seemed to not accept with very burdensome requirements for him as a mother and wife.

Raya shook her head, "Kito indak will be deformed saumua hiduik, this is only can not check until the age of 17 years!" (Our child will not be disabled for the rest of his life, he just can't talk until the age of 17)

Hearing that, Cici returned to crying. Which mother is willing to make a beloved daughter unable to speak, what agreement is this? Is this an agreement with the invisible Bunian creature?
