CULTIV

● Mantiv(30)

All the people gathered on the ground. Their faces wiped seeing the young man who was none other than the citizens of their village as well.

All were in a state of silence, but their anger was so blaring. Makes the atmosphere so crowded.

Intari and Amelya could only stand near the Village Chief. They actually wanted to investigate and interrogate the perpetrator first, but unfortunately the woman's scream woke up one of the sleeping residents and finally the entire community woke up.

The Village Chief stepped closer to the young man who was now bound in the middle of the field. His legs and hands were tied, plus one of the poles was used as a locking place for the young man. So he couldn't run anywhere, because his leg straps were tied at the pole.

“What's your name?”ask the Village Chief.

Intari twisting Lazy eyes. He felt this Village Chief was joking or something. He should have known who he was, they knew him. Why ask for a name again. That's what Intari thought.

Unlike Amelya, he was observing the face of the young man who became a suspect this time. ‘I'm still not sure that person is the suspect’bena.

The young man who was asked smiled. “Why do you want to know my name?.Rather than you are the village chief here, why not know my name at all?”said it.

The citizens were furious at the speech given by the Youth.

“What is this young man.why does he want to die quickly.I will kill you if you want”

“dia acted as if she was already famous”

“it looks like this guy is no longer waraas”

“he doesn't appreciate the Village Chief, his face it makes me want to skin him”

Rant after rant is given by Citizens who can no longer stem their anger. Strongly disapproving of their hearts seeing the young man still breathing, they wanted the young man killed right in front of them.

“already stop everything”ucap Head of the village slowly, he looked at his citizens with a smile so that the residents can calm down.

Intari and Amelya just stared disgustedly at it, they were like entering a world full of drama. But considering that the people here are natural to be placated, that disgust is gone. Although momentary.

“again I want to ask..what is your name?”ask the village chief again.

The young man rolled his eyes Lazily. He then faced the village chief. “Do you want to know me so much, even though I am already a famous head of the village.I am your sister-in-law candidate”hapnya bluntly.

Everyone is listening to it. Because they rarely met the village chief's sister. Some say that the village chief's sister is living in the city. But some say that the village chief's younger brother is just hiding at home.

“what's right?”

“i just found out.if the village head has a sister”

“what is she beautiful?”

“no one has ever seen it”

“if until hidden is likely very pretty”

“but strange, why rarely seen.more precisely you never seen once”.

“which women feel at home, even home children will come out even if only in”

The whispers of the citizens were so noisy. Intari was silent to listen to what the citizens said. He was also a little curious about the Head of this village, even though there was no intention to investigate the village head, but now Intari felt interested.

Amelya stepped closer to the silent Village Chief while massaging the nasal shaft between her eyebrows.

“Pak Village Chief..Is he really your sister-in-law?”ask Amelia slowly.

The village chief raised his face to look at the face of the woman who had only lived 1 day in their village.

He nodded. “it seems to be yes, I also feel familiar with him, but a few years ago, their engagement had been canceled, he himself canceled it”ucap Village Chief.

The young man who became the suspect, laughed out loud hearing the words of the Village Chief. The citizens became cynical looking at the young man who was thought to have lost his mind.

“This young man is really crazy”

“dia lost nerve”

“what is he doing this for losing a loved one?”

“no one knows, what the motive of a person like this is, all we should do is report himself to police”

Hearing the police say, Intari rolled her eyes Lazy. He said ‘ the end of the police, if there is a part of the freedom to beat the perpetrators, maybe I will immediately tell them to arrest this young man, if the police, end of it also to the prison, maybe, and only punished up to 10 years, this young man is still long-lived’

Amelya understood Intari's thoughts, she smiled seeing Intari roll her eyes so Lazily. Reminds him of Evita who also likes to roll her eyes Lazily. Because they don't like the law.

The law must still consider error, and what punishment is appropriate, in contrast to freedom in beating the perpetrators, if the government gives authority to Intari and Evita. The criminals have certainly repented.

The young man who was laughing earlier, got up from his knees, even though his two legs had been tied. And get some fistfights for raking up citizens. He stood up with the rest of his energy and was laughing.

Prok.prok..

The young man clapped his hands, both hands tied with iron on both sides of the opposite.

“Really.you said our engagement was off, because of me..HAHAHAHAHAHA.....Yuda.Rather than you canceling my engagement, EVEN YOU KILLED YOUR OWN SISTER, MY BELOVED”

The young man shouted while pointing in front of the Village Chief who was still calm as usual.

“I CAME BY THEN, YOUR SISTER CALLED ME TO ASK FOR RESCUE, BUT WHEN I CAME, YOU KILLED HER, AND WITH YOUR SWEET MOUTH, YOU HID YOUR SISTER FROM ME..REALLY AM...I SAW FOR MYSELF YOU KILLED HIM..ALL IN FRONT OF MY EYES”The young man continued his words. It makes people confused by their opinions. On the one hand they believed the young man's words because they had never seen the village chief's sister. On the other hand they are also not sure, because it is possible that the sister is doing work outside the village or wandering.

The village head or Yuda felt that the people needed an explanation, he turned around and faced the people.

“I'm not lying, you can make your decision, but before that, I'll call my sister.

The young man who became the perpetrator immediately broke out in cold sweat. He stared at the people he knew. Although there is Intari and Amelya. He could tell that they were just new people. And it couldn't possibly have anything to do with the Village Chief.

Not only did the young man observe, Intari and Amelya also observed. They also wanted to find out who was the younger sister of this village chief. Intari and Amelya feel that the case they take gets an incredible plowt twins, which is unexpected.

“My sister came here”her voice is not loud. But in silence we can hear. So everyone fell silent. They wanted to pay attention to who this invisible person was. To the extent that there were crazy men who carried out the abduction is unclear.

It didn't take long, there was the sound of anklets getting a small bell. The anklet was right next to Intari. Once he realized that the girl beside him was moving. I stared at the horror at the girl.

‘When he's beside me’bena. Because from then on, the one next to him was only the wind. Or there's no one else beside him.

“Come Salma”ucap The Big Brother or rather the Village Chief by reaching out his right hand to greet his sister.

The so-called Salma also welcomed the outstretched hand of the brother, then faced towards the residents and youths who could be said to be his former fiancee.

The young man who became the perpetrator instantly kneeled limp. She shed her tears slowly. And before long, he laughed so hard.

“HHAHAHAH..this is what I saw, truly amazing, which girl is this?.she even disguised as your sister, do you want to trick me?”tanyakanya.

The village head still showed his friendly attitude, he also invited his sister to get closer to the young man. But only one step, the brother or Salma did not step. He trembled violently that could be seen by the Citizens including Intari and Amelya.

“It's okay SaSa, Big Brother YuYu is here”ucap The village head calmly while gently patting his sister's hand.

(Sasa\=Salma,Yuyu\=Yuda)

Salma was still trembling, she was not calm. Even looking at the Youth who became the perpetrators of crime.

The perpetrator of the crime, flushed red, it was like holding back his anger. It was obvious that he was holding everything back.

Until the Village Chief now lowered his smile. He also looked flat at this young man.

“Please....Shun my sister, because of you, my sister lost her baby.because of you..please do not disturb the village anymore, and also my sister”ucap the Village Chief with a different gaze.

The residents immediately exclaimed in agreement with the Village Chief's words. Unlike Intari and Amelya who digest the speech of the Village Chief.

Until Amelya approached the Village Chief who now wanted to sit his sister who looked weak.

Salma, the younger sister of the Village Chief, had smooth white skin. Such a pretty face. Even those thin lips were so red, without any artificial reddening. It was completely natural. And again the shape of the girl's body is so plump. In the ideal category. Which can certainly be a target for young people who are single.

Seeing it, Intari felt a little jealous, because the body was ideal, while she still needed nutrition even though she had consumed foods that contained excessive carbohydrates. Still, he did not add weight, but added to the degree to be discarded directly.

But considering the words Evita who also has the same body like him, makes Intari not feel jealous. Besides he also thinks the same ‘Foods we eat do not want to be fat, they once enter the organs in the body directly want to get out. They don't spend the night, they're just guests'

So they’ this is food that once goes into the mouth, not how long. The food will be asked to be removed. So you could say Intari and Evita know that the food they eat, only certain foods that want to spend the night, others may only visit.

Remembering that Intari chuckles to herself. How crazy is his friendship that considers small things to be a joke. But it also became a serious thing.

Amelya approached Yuda the Village Chief. “pak Yuda...what do you mean the young man named Sintro is a scientist?..and fog.Why with fog?”ask Amelya.

Intari caught up with Amelya who was talking, but before arriving. Intari is interested in seeing young people who are now left alone or are accepting the reality that exists. So he wants to know what kind of young man the lover left behind, or slapped reality.

Amelya waited for Yuda the Village Chief's reply. Although he was a little pushy, but he had to remain calm so that the Village Chief did not suspect him, Dan Intari. What's more considering that they're just strangers visiting.

“Hm..sorry to make your holiday not exciting like this.”ucap Yuda a little sad. He continued “Dia.is my sister's fiancee a few years ago, she works as a scientist. My sister told me that she was pregnant with the child of a young man who was none other than that Sintro. So we did the engagement, only after a few months, my sister told me that her lover, her fiance is doing prohibited activities by making a potion that can be spread through the fog”

Pause for a while while staring in the shade, Yuda continued “fog never happened here, but after I learned from my sister's words, I managed the citizens to be careful of the fog. But I did not expect, the mist was inhaled by my sister, and it was affected by the baby, and what I could do, other than force the baby out of my sister's body, because the age of the womb enters 8 months. I wanted to marry her to Sintro after giving birth, but fate said another”

Yuda recounted the events they had experienced, back then...

2 Years ago, a young girl was looking in her room. He looked at his face.

Until the brother came suddenly. Making the little brother surprised is not playing.

“Kak..what are you doing here, brother is like a ghost who appears suddenly”ucap Salma with his soft voice.

“Ayooo...see my sister, she is so very beautiful, are you thinking about your lover?”ask Yuda who is now sitting in the chair of his sister.

His sister approached his brother, the only one. He lay on the brother's lap and looked at him.

“Kakak..I know, Brother must be disappointed, because I have been pregnant for 5 months. Even I don't believe it myself. I thought I was just fattening, but I was 5 months pregnant. I'm sorry brother, it's my fault”ucap Salma with tears that managed to drip.

Judah wiped away those tears. He smiled “not my sister, you were wrong, but it was his doing, though wrong, brother does not hate you, brother just did not agree when sister brother has been touched by others without any ties. Fortunately the young man Sintro was willing to take responsibility. And sister is happy, she turns out to be an educated”

Hearing that Salma was so happy, she even laughed over what her sister said. She was afraid that her brother would reject Sintro, but fortunately her brother still opened his heart.

2 Months have been lived, and Salma content age 7 months 3 weeks. Which means 1 more week will enter 8 months.

Yuda was thinking about the process of giving birth to his sister. Honestly, since his sister was pregnant, he forbade his sister to be seen by his people, not anything. He did not want his sister to feel depressed, and feel useless. So for the sake of his younger brother and future nephew, he wanted to provide the best happiness and security.

But happiness is only a thought, until the night comes thick fog. Yuda was worried about his sister, who said she wanted to buy fruit because she was cravings. He wanted it, so Judah allowed him to buy it. But until now. The brother has not arrived yet.

“Sasa..are you okay”Yuda is now walking towards Citizen. He remembered that Tonight there was a small market opened. And surely his sister will visit there, become a stranger. But when he got there, all he got was loneliness. The residents are hiding inside the house because of the thick fog.
