Curse Spell
Yellow Rose



Rino ran through the uphill streets. After many kilometers he finally reached a very simple house. There was a grandmother lifting a clothesline in the yard.


"Mother.I brought a gift for Mama Rara. Come on, Grandma, let's give this flower to Mama Rara." Rino said while pulling his grandmother's hand.


"Yes for a minute, let grandma finish first take the clothesline. It's getting cloudy, afraid it's gonna rain."


Rino immediately helped his grandmother.


"Where did Rino get that pretty flower?" Ask her grandmother curiously.


Rino momentarily fell silent, he remembered the words Asep had said that the flowers in the villa had a curse. He can't tell Grandma.


"There was a man finished the celebration, and threw the flowers into the trash. So Rino took it for a present for Rara's mama." Rino had to lie to his grandmother.


The grandmother just nodded slowly, she immediately brought her clothesline into the house and placed it on a wooden cot that was only covered with mats.


"Rino. It's still in use tomorrow!" Tell the grandmother to her granddaughter who still continues to hug the flower booklet on her chest.


A little reluctantly, the ten-year-old boy immediately rushed to change his clothes with t-shirts that had been torn in several parts.


"Rino don't eat first?" Ask her grandmother again after seeing her granddaughter has finished changing her clothes.


Rino shook his head, "Let's just Nek, after we deliver this flower to Mama Rara." Roni replied excitedly.


"Yes, come on!"


Her grandmother and granddaughter rushed out of the house through the back door. They continued to walk into the forest. After some time, they arrived at a stone niche covered with vines.


The grandmother revealed a tree giving way to her grandson. The stone niche was not very deep. In the middle of the room was a woman lying on a flat stone.


Rino rushed over to the woman. The woman in the red dress looked very beautiful. His lips tightly clenched with the pull of the cheeks formed a thin smile. Her long hair is beautifully unraveled. Seemed peace on her pretty face. It was seen her chest descending regularly, signaling the woman was still alive.


"Mama Rara's... Rino brought me a flower mama. I hope your mom likes it. Ma. quickly wake up. Mama's been sleeping too long." Rino's whisper was right in the ears of a young woman who did not budge in her deep sleep.


Grandma Rino was just watching from a distance not daring to approach. Often Rino asked his grandmother why she did not dare to approach. The grandmother simply said that she was afraid of Rara's mother. Rino finally did not blame his grandmother's attitude on Rara's mother.


Rino tidied up Rara's mama's clothes, and placed a bouquet of yellow roses next to her mother lying down. Tidying up the children's hair that covers the face of his mother. And he took a rose, pinned it on his mother's ear.


Rino often asked his grandmother why Rara's mother did not wake up from her sleep. But the grandmother just said, later if it was time his mother would wake up.


Rino could not stay for long as the frightened-looking grandmother curled up at the entrance of the stone niche.


"She. Let's go home." With a carefree feeling, Rino held his grandmother's hand. They also walked home. Every time they find a dry wood twig they bring it home. Rino also helped his grandmother. Now he can bring more wood to take home.


Rino recognized that one of the fathers was Mr. Provider. Mr. Asep, his classmate. The feeling is not good.


The grandmother immediately greeted the fathers kindly and invited them to enter. But the fathers rejected it.


"Here is my grandmother. We're just for a second. Asep told me that Rino took a rose in front of the villa. We villagers have understood that the existence of the mysterious rose contains a curse. So that unwanted things do not happen. Rino had to return the flower to its original place!"


Advice sir the supplier on Rino.


Rino bowed, occasionally glancing at his grandmother who looked very upset. It was wet, he was lying. Even if he's telling the truth, and those people found his mother. Rino could not imagine what would happen to her as well as her mother.


"I'm sorry Rino, Rino took the flower. But Rino became afraid when Asep reminded him. Rino gave me back the flowers. Grandma's testifying." Rino said timidly.


"Yes, Fathers, Rino was late to go home. When I asked the reason he said because he returned the flowers he had taken from the villa." The grandmother replied in support of her grandson's lie.


"Oh.thank God." The gentlemen look very relieved.


"Hopefully with Rino returning the flower in its original place, it will not bring any trouble in our village. Yes already... Nek Ipah and Rino we go home first." The fathers say goodbye. They walked along the path, leaving Rino and her grandmother standing in place.


Grandma Ipah looked very angry.


"Rino... Why are you lying?!" Ask Nek Ipah after making sure that the fathers who had come to their homes were no longer seen.


"I'm sorry, Grandma, Rino saw the flower was so beautiful. Rino just thought maybe mom was happy to see the flowers." Rino bowed in fear, seeing a flash of anger in his grandmother's eyes.


"Now too! Take the flower and put it back in its place! Before you finish it you don't get any food!" Bentak granny Ipah.


Rino immediately ran back towards the forest. Though his stomach has begun to sound demanding that there is food that goes into it.


In the middle of the road, he accidentally saw a forest mango tree that was bearing fruit. Some of the fruits are starting to grow. Without thinking, he immediately climbed it. Plucked some mangoes and kept them in the folds of his shirt.


Rino was very excited, when he managed to collect many mangoes. Carefully he came down from the tree, afraid that the mango he had picked had fallen to the ground and become scuffed.


Rino continued his journey towards the rock niche. Along the way he happily walked cheerfully while singing nationalism songs.


Not felt until he was also in the rock niche, where the existence of Mama Rara lay. With his right hand he fluttered the vines that covered the door of the stone niche. While his left hand keeps the tip of his shirt to protect the mango safely.


Just one step he entered the stone niche. He was surprised by what he saw. Unknowingly his left hand slipped from the grip on his shirt. Make the mangoes fall in all directions.


A woman in red turned around and looked at him.
