BUNCHES

CHAPTER 22

In order to make amends for all the mistakes Akmal made on the invisible astral beings in Bunian, a great ritual must be performed for the return of the sweet black male spirit that the Cici Permata is married to.

Upik Raya, dress up like the king's daughter, Datuk Rajo Omeh's favorite dress wrapped in red-light velvet clothes that match golden yellow. Suntiang made of 24 carat gold, attached to the head of a beautiful beautiful beautiful girl beloved daughter of Bunian.

Cici still hugged Akmal in the bridal room, which Datuk Mangkuto Malin had prepared.

"Bi, Ami sincerely. Even if Abi brought Raya, no one would know including the family, Ami," Cici hugged on Akmal's arm wearing Minangkabau custom wedding dress.

"I'm sorry Abi, Ami! Abi is wrong. May our family be as whole as ever. Because Abi, really did not expect it to be like this," Akmal gently rubbed his wife's head, gently peeping Cici's forehead.

Cici sat in a simple bed, decorated with red roses, at the request of the princess Datuk Rajo Omeh.

Day eight, became the last day for them to be there according to the rules of the village of Datuk Mangkuto Malin, because it cannot pass the ninth day.

Luqman and Dean, looking confused, only able to whisper because they do not know the customs that are there.

"It's an Akmal spirit return event well! Thankfully, Cici was not worried anymore, let alone grieving over the loss of her husband."

Dean nodded in agreement, at what Luqman had told him. After all, they had been in a safe and peaceful village for almost four days, but did not have many people passing by.

Very different today, all the guests attending the event held very different, even they brought 24 carat gold placed in a golden yellow tray.

A party!? No, it is an Akmal welcoming ritual to return it to the real world, which is not understood by the Cici family.

Talempong greetings, with a very melodious song, is an entertainment for Luqman and Dean.

Very different from Dony and Cardo, they are actually busy with stirring one large pan and West Sumatra rendang in turn, in two furnaces that they stir as hard as they can.

"It's a party or something!? Like a big ritual about going up!" Cardo looked at Dony out of curiosity, wiping away the sweat that was pouring out, due to the heat generated from the burning furnace.

"Do it, don't ask too many questions! Because this is the request of Datuak Mangkuto Malin, the important thing is that Akmal has returned to our world," Dony replied in a whisper, for fear of being heard by other leaders.

Cardo nodded in understanding, for him to see Cici bringing Akmal back, which was a very extraordinary miracle for their family.

The tips are sitting cross-legged in a big house, seemed to be attended by the Datuk who greatly amaze the view of Luqman and Dean.

Their faces were increasingly curious, because they wanted to listen to the talk of the tips who were whispering to announce one happy news according to their nature.

Akmal, who was given the title Datuk Rajo Mudo, appeared out of the room, accompanied by Cici, the wife who chose to sit beside her husband.

Sounding from a distance, the sound of laughter Mira who was enjoying a bowl of fried noodles served by Sunna for her special great-grandchild.

"Mak," Cici called out in a whispering voice, making Sunna turn her head for a moment.

"Lanjuiklah, Amak diiko. Makanannyo barasiah! Oneng the mambuekan." (Continue, Mamak is here. This food is clean, Oneng made it.)

Cici smiled faintly, turning back to Datuak Rajo Omeh who was also looking at him.

"Kok, suddenly there was a talempong sound?" Dean stared at the same Luqman as him.

"Uda, jan duduak there. Plan our herd to be at risk!" (Uda, don't sit there, it's good to accompany us singing here!)

Call a beautiful biduan to Luqman and Dean.

As they were about to climb the stage, their steps came to a halt, being held back by Sunna.

"Drink the coffee sajo at risk, jan duduak at the moment!" (Drink coffee here, don't sit there!)

Hearing Sunna's words, made Luqman and Dean undo their intentions, choosing to sit near their favorite nephew.

There was an oddity felt by Luqman, but he just kept quiet, not wanting to discuss anything about the big party held in the village.

Gold, a sign that the great ritual that is only rich people who can carry gold like that.

"It's like a wedding party! Who's getting married? Did Cici remarry according to this custom?" The big question mark he refused to say as the oldest brother to Cici jewel.

Yes, the two of them just looked at each other, smiling thinly looking towards Sunna who was busy accompanying Mira.

The ritual begins.

Upik Raya came out of a different room, dressing up to impress Cici, admiring the beauty of the woman beside Akmal in great amazement.

The dowry turned out to be pure gold, and was so dazzling to Cici's vision as a simple woman who could only refrain from having the luxury she looked before her at the moment.

Datuk Mangkuto Malin, gave petatah petitih to become a son-in-law of Bunian who is very thick with prohibition and should be done as a form of honor to have brought their daughter to the real world.

"Kok iyo Datuak Rajo Mudo nio mambaok Upiak Rayo. We salaku urang tuo new to our son, our son, malatak-an capital Samo Datuak Rajo Mudo in mamulai hiduik new become a beautiful husband and dignity of salaku and new dignity Datuak Rajo Omeh Family." (If yes Datuk Rajo Mudo wants to bring Upik Raya, as a wife. We as a new parent for our child, give capital to Datuk Rajo Mudo in starting a new life, become a good husband, who maintain the dignity and dignity as a new person of Datuk Rajo Omeh Family)

Akmal nodded in understanding, welcoming the hand of Datuak Rajo Omeh for the second time before the tips and beloved wife.

You can imagine how Cici felt, when he heard Akmal mention the name of another woman to be pronounced in his sacred marriage, although in a different nature.

Tears Cici did not feel dripping in his palm, feeling something very painful, painful even as a slashed sembilu.

Raya who was sitting next to Akmal, rubbed Cici's back slowly.

'Kok cinto nan ditanyo, maybe indaklah can be denounced salaku padusi'. (If love is asked, it may not be expressed as a good woman)

Ijab kabul has been proclaimed. Datuk Rajo Omeh has let his beloved daughter into the world of Akmal, who has officially become a husband, bringing a hope that will be a new life for Cici and Raya as wives in two different realms.

"Mira...!?"

Akmal and Cici turn to their beloved daughter again, hoping never to find out what is happening now, someday.
