Droplets of Night Creatures

209. Curses

Narko indeed obtained the false knowledge directly from the grandmother. In the past, Narko's grandmother also roamed around preying on fetuses in the womb of pregnant women.

The orphaned Narko lived with his grandmother until she was a teenager. Until finally the grandmother was caught and burned by the masses while stalking their prey.

Narko remembered the night before the incident the grandmother asked him to go away from his house which was located on the edge of the forest.

" You should go that far away Narko. Very far away and do not return" said the grandmother.

" Why do I have to go, Grandma...?" ask Narko.

" I feel like something bad is going to happen to me later. And I don't want you to get dragged into the anger of the people. Therefore go Narko..," said the grandmother.

" If Grandma knew something was going to happen, why didn't Grandma stop ?. Don't attack them again Grandma. Live normally. Eating meat or bangk*i is not what origin do not fetuses that live in the stomach of his mother...!" narko said riled.

Narko's words made the grandmother laugh. He stood and faced Narko.

" The flesh of an animal or a bangk*i is not as good as a Narko fetus. There is a lot of satisfaction when eating it. And now I can't stop because something in me keeps pushing me to do it again and again" Narko's grandmother said with a grin.

Narko was surprised and hugged his grandmother tightly.

" I beg you to stop everything, Grandma. Don't do it again, can't you...?" narko pinta.

" I'm sorry, can't be Narko..," said the grandmother steadily to make Narko surprised and then parse his embrace.

" How about I am Nek. It's just Grandma I have in this world. I don't have any sodara, relatives or friends. How do I live without Grandma...?!" ask Narko in despair.

" You'll get used to it after this Narko. Go...!" the grandmother said as she pushed Narko out of the house and locked the door.

As a result of the grandmother's encouragement, Narko slammed into the ground. He looked at the door of the grandmother with sadness and anger. But the soul of the man in Narko made him abstain from asking for it back. Narko got up and walked slowly away from the grandmother's house which for a dozen years became his residence.

Apparently Narko didn't go far. He was still around the grandmother and watching the movements of the grandmother.

At night when Narko was stalking the grandmother's house, he saw a head darting quickly out of the window of the grandmother's house. Narko knew that it was the head of the grandmother who had turned into meyang. Carefully Narko followed that kuyang.

Narko continued to follow the kuyang until the kuyang stopped not far from a house that Narko believed to be the house where the grandmother's prey was located.

The house looks very quiet. It was too quiet to make Narko suspicious. Narko spread his gaze all over and saw many eyes watching my grandmother's incarnation hiding behind trees and bushes. Narko was surprised and intended to tell the grandmother to leave immediately. But late.

The incarnation of Narko's grandmother darted into the house and at the same time the people who hid behind the bushes came out and surrounded the house with various sharp weapons.

Narko hears a woman's hysterical scream followed by her grandmother's scream. Apparently the woman in the house was deliberately fed to lure the kuyang. She screamed in fear as she saw me barging into the house. While the kuyang screamed because a spear stuck right in the batok of his head.

The people who surrounded the house cheered happily as the person holding the spear came out from the inside carrying my head that stuck at the tip of his spear.

" Burn now. Bakaarr...!" shout those people with passion.

" Wouldn't we go through whose head this is...?" ask the owner of the spear.

" No need to !. That we can take care of later. What matters now is that I'm the one that used to be we're looking for her body...!" said a man loudly.

Everyone stared at the man who was talking with a look of understanding. Apparently the man's wife was also my victim until she died. And he was the one who most impatiently wanted to exterminate that me out of anger and resentment.

After getting the approval of everyone began to be prepared a fireplace. The head that was still stuck on the tip of the spear was immediately burned in a burning fire like it was making a goat roll.

Screams of pain rang out that night as the fire began to burn the kuyang. The fire seemed to devour the hair of the me who then slowly continued to cover the head, then continued again to the hanging internal organs. In an instant my head that was shrouded in a fiery red flame.

Everyone looked pensively watching the scorching of my beloved. In the distance Narko was seen crying watching the head of the grandmother he loved burned by the mob.

After the fire was extinguished, a blackened skull was seen. Without waiting for the skull to cool, they directly pounded it with stones until the skull bones were smashed into pieces and it felt difficult to put back together.

Then the men spread out to look for the body of the owner of my head. Their search ends at Narko's grandmother's house.

From a distance Narko saw the headless body of the grandmother being taken out and thrown to the ground. The angry men also landed a few blows to the lifeless body. And again Narko had to watch his grandmother's body burned until it was gone.

Narko left the place when he saw the grandmother's body engulfed in flames. He wandered to a faraway place and hoped that no one would recognize him as the granddaughter of his grandmother. Eventually he met Iroh and fell in love with the girl and married her.

Narko who realized himself carrying a curse in him tried to live a normal life like an ordinary human being. He hopes that by marrying his bad destiny will be lost. But Narko was wrong.

Narko recalled the first time he inhaled a different scent from Iroh's body when the woman came out of the bathroom. A different aroma and it made Narko endlessly observe his wife. Narko loved the scent that came out of Iroh's body and continued to follow it throughout the day.

At night Narko still clings to his wife. She had just stayed away when Iroh said she was pregnant.

" We can't do that first. Mother said if again pregnant young do not often relate because it is dangerous for the fetus..," said Iroh while rubbing his stomach.

" You're pregnant...?" ask Narko.

Iroh nodded and Narko let out a long sigh. Finally Narko understood why Iroh's body scent felt different in his sense of smell.

" Yes Mas. This will be our first child. You're also good-natured, aren't you...?" Iroh asked as he pulled Narko's hand and touched his stomach.

Like there was an electric shock when Narko touched Iroh's stomach. And something inside him thrashed and forced him to keep staring at Iroh's stomach. While Iroh seemed to smile sweetly because he did not know there was a danger threatening his fetus.

That night Narko could not close his eyes because he continued to be terrorized by strange desires in him. Finally, at dawn Narko who could not control his evil desires was devouring the fetus in the womb of Iroh when the wife was asleep. Somehow Narko did it until Iroh was not disturbed at all even slept well.
