"Let's just finish off the bastard woman," shouted full of anger of the residents who flocked to follow the steps of Mr. Nengah towards Surau.


"Dis, you stay here with Sekar" Muhibbin asked Disya.


"Son, I want to come" replied Disya


"I also joined Bli," Sekar also cut off Muhibbin's request.


"But there it's dangerous, we don't know what the citizens will do" Muhibbin again asked the two girls beside him.


"I can take care of Bin, besides there is your father and the Pecalang who will protect me and Sekar," Disya replied again.


"Alright, I hope you are not far away from me" Muhibbin pleaded.


Not long after the three followed hundreds of residents who were out of control towards Surau. The screams of the citizens and the voice of Kulkul Bulus are still heard. The train driven by Muhibbin was fast paddled, Disya who was behind him sat down while tightening his hand grip on Muhibbin waist, did not escape Sekar also followed from behind.


It did not feel rain that night, in the distance seen hundreds of residents moving towards Surau. As the torchlight they used was like a whistling fire dragon, a roar full of swearing rang out to where Muhibbin was pedaling his chariot.


"Shirt, let's hurry!" muhibbin shouted at his brother.


"I told you not to come, you slowed down my movements" Muhibbin said.


"Ah you are a lot of talk, just paddle your wind train," hardik Disya on Muhibbin.


The sekar who followed him from behind snorted in annoyance.


"This is because Bli is too kind to a new person" Sekar told his brother.


The three of them had already started to approach towards Surau. There is still the anger of the residents huddled in front of Surau. Residents surrounded the place while shouting full of swearing.


"Burn that woman...!"


"Just drag her body..!"


"Don't be forgiven that demon,"


"BURN !"


The angry cries of the citizens and the situation were getting out of control.


Muhibbin, Disya and Sekar are calling the crowd into Surau. He saw Mr. Nengah and some Banjar elders and the Pecalang wearing a hooded woman who was still wearing a white face to the front of the Surau yard. The woman's frightened face.


"Bring him here," said Mr. Nengah asked the Pecalang to bring the woman who was none other than Sariwati.


"Call Muhibbin here" continued Mr. Nengah.


Before long Muhibbin accompanied by Disya and Sekar rushed to Pak Nengah.


"Close to here Gus, Bring the fisherman's man before me," Pinta pak Nengah firmly.


Not long ago a man known as an angler came with Banjar security.


The Pecalang and Banjar elders were on standby with keris in their grasp, including Mr. Nengah.


"You, is it true that you saw that this woman was raving here" asked Nengah sir to the fisherman.


"Betul Jero Mekel, he is the one I saw in front of here" replied the angler, pointing his hand at Sariwati.


The Pecalang flank Sariwati's hand on her left right. The girl was crying with her face down. At first glance his eyes looked towards Mr. Nengah and the crowd of citizens with a compassionate look.


"Gus, did you know that Wati can learn the science and background before you invite to inhabit this Surau?" mr. Nengah said to Muhibbin.


"Do you know that science is so evil and people here are so traumatized by what happened fifteen years ago in this village?" added mr. Nengah.


"I don't know Jik, all I know is that Wati here is only in charge of caring for this Surau with me" Muhibbin replied.


"His daily he only cleans Surau and takes care of the plants, he also once told me that the Flood Country was his place of origin.


Imbuh Muhibbin returned full of anxiety for the safety of Sariwati.


" Jero Pecalang, please bring here a bundle that can glow like what the angler said," ordered Mr. Nengah back.


No matter how long the head of Banjar security called Jero Pecalang came to bring a bundle of cloth in his hand.


"Please open the bundle, so that everyone in this place knows what the contents of the bundle are," ordered Mr. Nengah back.


Jero Pecalang swiftly opened the bundle of cloth and all the eyes in that place looked fixed unblinking.


Seen shabby clothes and a blackish green box from inside the bundle of cloth opened Jero Pecalang.


"Well, now we take this girl to Banjar Hall," ordered Mr. Nengah after seeing the items in the bundle


"Jero Pecalang, Immediately report this incident to Bhayangkara governorate, I do not want us to be blamed by Bhayangkara troops or Governor Timoti," ordered Pak Nengah.


Hundreds of residents who besieged Surau An Nur still do not accept, they want the woman executed directly.


"Kill that woman Jero!"


"Yes, let's burn that woman alive,"


The cry of the citizens to Jero Pecalang and Pak Nengah. The stone throw was directed at Sariwati's body by the citizens, the situation was getting out of control.


"Stop, Relax....Relax do not be a vigilante, let the Bhayangkara party who will process this girl," shouted Mr. Nengah at the residents.


"Jero Pecalang, Segara take this girl to Banjar Hall, let everything be processed there!" mr. Nengah's orders are back.


Jero pecalang was helped by his men carrying Sariwati, from the body of Sariwati bleeding due to stone throwing by the residents, his hands tied and dragged like a patient paraded to Banjar Manguntur Hall.


With a pity Muhibbin approached Sariwati and said,


"Sabar Wati, I will find a way to prove your innocence" Muhibbin said.


With a half-conscious state of wati just staring sayu at Muhibbin, Sejurus then his gaze swept at the residents, he stared with cynical and full of pent-up anger. Seeing that, the residents increasingly violent, back stone throw directed at Sariwati. Muhibbin hugged to protect Sariwati so as not to be hit by the stone throw of the residents. Sariwati's body that looks limp stepped dragged like a patient.


"That's enough, Stop throwing. Jero Pecalang immediately you leave before the situation gets worse," shouted Mr. Nengah back.
