Gondo Flower

Chapter 15: Omah Dongko

pov Alingga

I saw a shadow passing in the back area, there was a path that leads into the thick forest. No one saw him other than me, not even the zainal who had special abilities saw the shadow either.

As they chatted, I slipped away to follow the path, I knew what I was going to meet, there was no doubt.

A building?

The entire material is wood with a typical model of a joglo house. This foot just stepped exploring the building at the end of the path, the door locked Meeting, there should be one entrance, which was definitely not the main door.

Damn, this building is completely sealed, there is no gap that I can pass. I turned my brain to find an alternative way, there is no way, just by destroying the padlock then the door will open.

I surrendered.

There's something hidden inside, maybe this family heirloom or an offering. I don't understand and don't want to find trouble.

When I came back, the Wijaya family members were busy. They talked about the sacrifice of the night, the sacrifice of what it really was, hopefully not what I thought.

I hid behind the trees, eavesdropping on whatever they were talking about. I sharpened my hearing to steal their conversation because they spoke very softly.

"Mbak mayang pesen kanthil flowers, wes in ready ne Tri?" (Non mayang order cantile flowers, has been prepared tri?) said a man who looked like Rina.

"Nyai nyai "a woman replied in front of Mbak Rina.

"Omah dongko kudu wes ready wengi iki!" (Dongko's house should be ready tonight!) said mbak rina.

The woman nodded then left Rina alone, I was still hiding instead of running away.

"Mas Ali is satisfied with his eating?" Rina's mbak

The woman then turned to me behind a tree. He smiled kindly greeting, but how could he know that the eavesdropping was me.

"Mas ali is funny, in the question even diem aja." said Mbak Rina again.

"EHh. mbak Rina's. Alingga is not ali."

I laughed a little to reduce the awkwardness after being caught eavesdropping.

"Just like." said Rina

"Again a bother, ma'am? this is why on a pacing back and forth." I asked

Sister Rina did not respond, she smiled then turned to look at her subordinates working.

"Night will be full moon mas, until weroh why."

"Black power is at its peak" he continued.

Rina's brother passed after telling her about the full moon. I've heard in the night of the full moon that all kinds of dark creatures reach the peak of maximum power.

"Sir, Omah Dongko?" ask me to Rina's mother who's been away.

Rina's mother turned her head to point towards the path I had just passed, then she resumed her work.

For a moment I thought, maybe Omah Dongko is the building at the end of the path? That means that tonight there will be sacrifices in the building.

What sacrifice do they mean? Could it be related to Ruwah's pedestal? The creatures on Ruwah's pedestal are very strong, this is the right time for them to find a new Mistress.

...***...

It's dusk I'm still reluctant to go back to meet zainal, he's probably still angry because I never supported his wishes. That's my role here, not just a friend I also have to be able to protect the closest people whatever the conditions.

There's still no way out, of all the things I know this is a complicated matter, concerning many lives.

A while ago when he first set foot on this ground, such a powerful black aura enveloped every inch of this place. The dark aura of the screams of the life that was destroyed, full of revenge.

How many lives have been lost just because of the greed of one man, about this family of demon worshippers, they forget who has created it.

The servants began to look milling around, carrying a copper bowl covered in red cloth. They marched along the path, the front row carrying torches as lights because the day was dark, while in the back row the women were carrying boxes that had no idea what they were.

By midnight, I was still watching from a distance. After how long a man walked majestically through the path to the building called omah dongko, he walked meaningfully bringing hope to the success of his sacrifice tonight.

If the heart is covered in greed, no matter what is done right or wrong, while in their favor they will justify all means and do not hesitate to kill for their satisfaction alone.

That is what is now seen before the eyes. I went to follow them to see what they were doing, where the originally locked house had been opened with torchlight illuminating every corner.

They were performing a ritual, Vijaya standing in the middle of a woman who was sitting in a circle with clothes that had been stripped. True to the rite of madness, they worship the demon Alas Ruwah Bolo laru .

The next scene he threw a long iron into a woman's chest on the cot, The woman twitched trying to escape from the stab of the object that had penetrated her spine. Wijaya forcibly pulled the iron cylinder then rained it back many times until the woman stopped floundering.

How can a man do such a cruel thing, no. Those who have allied themselves with the devil are not men, their souls have been mortgaged, there is no more humanity in the service of Satan.

I tried to refrain from messing up, if I get caught peeping, maybe I will have the same fate as the woman.

The ritual still continues, Wijaya holds the blood dripping with a copper bowl, crazy thing let alone his will do.

They put the woman's body into the house, the lifeless body was dragged away without proper treatment. If every full moon they perform a ritual, then how many victims of their savagery.

I retreated not wanting to see more, as I left they started to struggle, I don't know I was so disgusted to see their behavior surpassing that of animals.

Even animals are still nobler than they are, At least animals will not kill each other.

I go back to the room, if they find out what this family's doing I'm sure they can't sleep well anymore. Hopefully it's not too late, I don't want to stay here longer.living here is like being in a Lion's cage, was was was was when it was my turn to be their meal.
