Eternal Island

The Rinjani Past

The next day, Jarwo went to Mount M, where he ascended to get worship.

Meanwhile, Rinjani is always waiting for Jarwo's arrival faithfully. Day after day, the moon changed, Rinjani kept waiting for Jarwo patiently.

Suddenly, an idea came to Rinjani's mind. She wants to be young and always beautiful, so that when Jarwo comes back to see him, Jarwo will be crazy about Rinjani.

One night, Rinjani goes to the beach, she sits on a chair made of bamboo.

"I want to be beautiful and youthful, so that kang Jarwo always wants to be near me, and not go away anymore," he said.

Rinjani got up from her seat, she walked closer to the sea water, she stared at the sea water deeply.

"O lord of the coast! I have one request, will you grant it?" rinjani.

Before long, the waves rolled violently as if hearing Rinjani's cry, the cold wind blew no less fiercely against Rinjani's slender body. And now in front of Rinjani stood a graceful woman, dressed in all green, and on her head was a crown that added to her elegance.

"O man, what are you calling me?" ask that figure.

"I want to be beautiful and youthful for ever the Queen, I want to keep looking young every day, up to any time!" sahut Rinjani loudly.

"But you already know that, if you deal with our world, there are requirements that must be made, for the sake of a wish? And the conditions are not as easy as you imagine," said the Queen of the coast.

"I don't care, whatever the conditions, I will do, as long as my wish is granted." Rinjani looked insistent.

"Well, then, tomorrow night come here, you will carry out various rituals, do not forget, prepare tumpeng along with its contents, chicken blood cemani, seven-shaped flowers, and banana heart, then bring it here."

"Well Queen, I will do it" said Rinjani enthusiastically.

"Well, if you understand." Then the Queen of the beach disappeared.

Rinjani went home, and the next day, she prepared everything she had to bring to the beach, at the request of the Queen. Rinjani does all that, unbeknownst to her parents.

At night, Rinjani walks to the beach, carrying what the Queen asks.

"Queen! I have come!" exclaim Rinjani when he reached the coast.

Before long, the waves rolled strong, the night wind blew breeze hit Rinjani's body. Before long, the Queen of the beach had stood before Rinjani.

"Queen, I've brought what you want" Rinjani said.

"Well, let's start now" said the Queen of the beach.

Then they performed a ritual. And after the completion of the ritual pickle, Rinjani stalls all the offerings he brought, according to the order of the Queen of the beach.

"And every year, you have to give a human male, but that's not from this island, you understand?"

"Good Queen."

"If you are too late to give a collision just once, then you yourself will be the last victim."

The deg!

Rinjani's heart was pounding, yet she had already established her goal.

"Now you go home" said the Queen of the Coast.

Then, the Queen of the beach disappeared, and the sea waves calmed down again, while Rinjani walked home.

In the morning, after waking up, Rinjani took a bath and got dressed, after which she reflected. How surprised she was, seeing her face in the mirror reflection, she looked more beautiful than before, her skin was even smoother.

Rinjani is very happy, with his appearance now, he is very sure, if Jarwo comes home will certainly be amazed by him.

Day by day, Rinjani lives her life. The residents around Rinjani residence felt astonished, because from year to year, the beauty of Rinjaji never faded. His skin was still tight, not wrinkled in the slightest.

Now Rinjani was twenty-five years old, and three years had Rinjani left by Jarwo. However, day after day, month and year continued to change, Jarwo never came to see him.

"Kang mas where, anyway? Why not go home too? Maybe he already has another woman, less!" batin Rinjani with growl.

Each year, Rinjani continues to give the Queen a tumbala beach, the tumbal is the form of a man, who is a newcomer to the island.

One day, it was Rinjani time to give the tumbal, but Rinjani never found it, he was surprised because that year, the eternal island is very quiet visitors.

"Why are there no immigrants? Huft, this is so strange, are they scared, maybe they heard the news about what happened in this place, so they no longer want to go to this place. Wow, this is so bad, I can be wretched, if I do not get the collision tonight," inner Rinjani who was sitting pensively alone, with a feeling of uneasiness.

Suddenly, the waves rolled up fast, and the night wind was blowing very hard, to topple one of the coconut tree trunks. The tree fell right in front of Rinjani who was sitting.

"Damn it, thankfully it's not about me," he said.

"O man, what about the next collision?" a voice without form echoed in Rinjani's ears.

Rinjani also gasped. "Please love me for a few more days Queen, I don't know why from yesterday there was no newcomer."

"Have you not been back ten days? I've been kind, and I'll give you one more day, and tomorrow night, you've got to get that bump. If you don't get it, yes of course you know for yourself, what will happen," threatened the Queen of the beach.

"Queen, can't the inhabitants of this island? What matters is that he is a man" please Rinjani.

"The name of the rules, yes the rules, you can't change them."

After saying that, the voice disappeared, the wind that was originally blowing strong, has now stopped, as well as the waves that originally rolled, has now calmed back. Rinjani looked agitated.

"Duh, how's this? I don't know where else to look, '" she said.

Then, Rinjani returned home with a shunt step.

****

The next night, Rinjani went to the beach, but the condition of the beach was still quiet, like the previous nights. Rinjani was really desperate, because he did not get the next crash.

The middle of the night came, and the time was twelve o'clock.

"Your time is up! And get ready, now you will be the last victim, representing the next ones." A voice shocked Rinjani. He looked to the left and to the right, but he saw no one.

"Even, Queen, don't punish me, I'll search once more, outside this island."

Rinjani begged, but his speech was ignored, the waves rolled violently, heading across the beach which is said to be a village of residents. And before long, following the vortex of wind*****pile, it blew close to a village located across the coast, which was also the area where Rinjani lived.
