Chapter 28: Passing

The middle room was quiet even though there were so many people in it, Alingga still held a brown book and continued to flip through the pages. He was so serious about observing every word written there, he was unceasingly amazed at what he had just understood.

On the other hand, Slamet was sitting cross-legged on the ground while sprinkling fragrances into the bucket beside him, his mouth was kamit uttering an endless mantra. The water that had been given oil by him then he washed little by little to the body of the zainal lying on the ground, every wash he always dripped a drop of oil in a transparent bottle into a bucket of water, he said, it is always mbah Slamet reset until the whole body zainal really wet.

Alingga closed his book after he read it to completion, he then returned the book to Slamet again.

"Wes finished Lee?" (Have you finished, son?) ask Mbah Slamet who is finished with his task.

"Moon Mbah." Alingga answered briefly with a gaze that he did not divert from the zainal body, he observed carefully what was being done mbah Slamet against his best friend.

Mbah Slamet gave the box behind the red cloth to Alingga, Alingga received it with pleasure, but Mbah Slamet still did not give his follow-up instructions, Alingga who was impatient asked first before she could mbah slamet explained it.

"Sir!" (Open!) mbah slamet answered Alingga's confused gaze.

Alingga immediately opened it without hesitation, he was a little confused when the box was open, inside there was a wooden doll carved to resemble a human form. Alingga tried to take the wooden doll, the size of only about one adult. There was nothing special about the doll if the one who saw it was just an ordinary person, but if the person had sufficient ability then he would see this doll enveloped in such a powerful black aura.

Alingga was one of the people who had the ability, he could see something very black from this wooden doll. Alingga asked Mbah Slamet what the meaning of the box he gave, but Mbah Slamet did not want to tell the truth.

"I'm lewung Lee, Seng ngiket Sukmo ne kongo mu." (It was lewung nak, who tied up his Sukma temen mu.) said mbah Slamet casually, he brought back the brownish book into his room.

"Lewong?" Alingga was confused.

"Ora mung siji, mbah sure enek akeh neng omahe Wijaya." (Not just one, mbah sure there are many in his house Wijaya.) said Mbah slamet after coming out of his room.

"Sampean weroh Wijaya Mbah?" (You know Wijaya Mbah?) ask Alingga.

Mbah Slamet smiled at Alingga's question, how did Slamet not know Vijaya before Alingga and his friends knew the family.

"Mbah seng njogo ganjang ben ora metu seko omahe." (Mbah who keeps the basket from coming out of his house.

Alingga was fixated on hearing the slamet Mbah, he looked back at his memory of the creature, the banyan tree dweller behind the kostan owned by the wijaya, how could Mbah Slamet deal with this creature.

"Lewung kui singole satus, symbol seko satus tumbal nggo alas Ruwah. Golek i kabeh seng in pendem Wijaya le. , mung kowe seng iso, seloso legi wes cedak." (That's the theme of a hundred, the symbol of a hundred Tumbals for the base of Ruwah. Find everything Wijaya planted, only you can, Tuesday legion is near.) Slamet to alingga. Alingga who heard only fell silent.

Mbah Slamet was still reading the confusion in the eyes of Alingga, he then told Alingga to meet his teacher in the village of Laweh. Alingga is increasingly confused because Mbah Slamet also knows his teacher, but he does not want to add to his mind, it is not important from where mbah Slamet knows his teacher but if the words mbah Slamet right, then he had to meet his own teacher.

"Rip, kowe knows what a laweh address is?" (Rip, do you know the address of laweh village?) Alingga asked the sharif who was pensive in the corner, Sharif who was called Alingga snapped from his daydream.

"Laweh?" Tanya syarif is confused.

Alingga explained at length so that Syarif understood what he meant.

"Deso laweh rodo adoh no, wektune ora nek pie enough?" (Laweh village is quite far, no, what if the time is not enough?) ask Sharif.

"Wak e dewe not iso neng kene continues, wijaya must weroh kko." (We can't stay here, Wijaya will know later.) Alingga hopes Sharif understands his condition.

"Ngene rip, kowe karo mbak laras ngeterke zainal neng omah e mbah ladi, sisane krko tetep neng kene golek terms e nggo close the gate segoro." (Gini rip, you are the same mbak barrel nganterin zainal to the house of Mbah ladi, the rest of the tetep here nyari requirements for the gate cover segoro.)Alingga.

"I'm not popo ngga, but sure iki wektune enough." Sharif with Alingga's advice.

"Makane kui, some neng deso laweh some neng kene" (That's why some in laweh village, some here.) explained Alingga again. Syarif still continues to argue, he knows very well if far from Alingga no one guarantees what will happen to him.

"No need to dispute neh, mumpung jek cloud in e jek padang.'' (Don't argue anymore, mumpung still daylight his path is still bright.)

After his Alingga make a plan what they have to do for people who are still living, while Sharif and Baras prepare to be ready to travel further.

Alingga helped put the zainal into a rented car, he stared nanar when his best friend began to be invisible again in front of him, the car was speeding on the stretch of road leaving little trace on the dusty road.

After removing Zainal, Alingga went back into the house he looked at the box where the lewung was located, he deliberately did not include the box to Zainal because Wijaya would certainly look for his lost goods without stopping, if this box is near Zainal then surely Wijaya will finish Zainal first so that the plan can not fail. Zainal will be the last of his collars as a cover, because all this was started by the blood of his mother, Laras, then it must be covered with the same blood.
