Chapter 47: The Teacher's House

The sun is still not willing to budge with the clouds, roasting the earth's atmosphere, leaving the land barren with dry plants. On the street lenggang Alingga walk, greet some residents who are passing by, then stop right in front of a hut surrounded by teak trees.

A car was parked under a shady tree, yellowing leaves adorning the roof of the car accompanied by several broken branches. Alingga entered the courtyard, stopping right in front of the steps of the stairs, taking off her shoes that were torn from the fight earlier.

He did not immediately enter the house, sitting on a wooden porch, drowning in his daydreams. Unknowingly time passed so quickly, Alingga regained her senses as Sharif shouted his name loudly.

"DON!!" Syarif embraces Alingga which makes her jerked, her daydreams scatter, her look suddenly upset with the attitude of her best friend.

"Alinga !" Syarif smiled at the response of Alingga who again scolded him. Syarif looks very happy when he sees the figure of his best friend again.

"Neng endi Mbah Ladi?" (Where is Mbah Ladi?) ask Alingga without a stale base. Sharif glanced, a little snorting. After what he experienced, Alingga instead came without asking the slightest news.

"The neck njero!" (It's inside!) answer Syarif briefly, then stand– entered the house and followed by Alingga.

Upon entering the front room, Alingga saw the figure of Zainal and Laras who were lying in a shroud. Alingga approached trying to check the condition of his friend. However, there are things that continue to disturb his mind. What happened to Laras, why is he also lying here.

Sharif also did not want to explain. However, Alingga continued to urge her. In the end, Sharif also luluh.

Syarif told how they were made to get lost inside the gate of Segoro, the three of them entered the supernatural when they arrived at the cornfield. Alingga only mangosteen when Sharif recounted his experience when heading to the village of laweh. Worth the final feeling is very strange, it turns out something happened here.

Alingga stood up, walked inside, stopped at the wooden door right in front of the room belonging to Mbah Ladi. Alingga knocked several times, saying his greetings before the door creaked, revealing an old man standing with the help of a wooden stick.

"Lee.. " Alingga kissed Madah Ladi's hand after the door was opened. Mbah Ladi walked out, towards the front room, stopping right next to the two soulless bodies.

"Merene Lee.., Mbah bade sajang kalih tumbang kalih" (Here son, Mbah want to talk to both of you,!)

Alingga and Sharif looked at each other, Sharif nudged Alingga's arm with his elbow, telling him to approach first. In the end, Alingga gave up. There are still many things he wants to ask his teacher.

"The Mbah." Alingga sitting right next to Mbah Ladi, with the position of the legs crossed.

"The problem is that you face niki sanget ageng! Mbah namung saget help ngaantos seniki. In the future with saget ngandelke dhiri kiyambek kange nyeleksek to nipun! Mbah nasehati, lee! Forgive me for niku's fear nguasani long conscience" (The problem you are facing is very heavy! Mbah can only help you get here. In the future you must rely on yourself to complete it! Yes, yes, my son! Don't let fear rule your conscience.)

"Ngeh mbah, kulo eling" (Yes Mbah, will I remember!)

Mbah Ladi let out a long sigh, grabbing the dried petals of the rose before him.

"Lewung niku kedah njenegan kumpulake sedulan e wulan purnomo tuesday legi! Sedendere wijaya kasil collecting tumbal kesatus e, kedah gateniku closed. Njenegan also kedah gumpulake pitu toya pure saking pitu sacred board! Pas sedanten lewung lan to toya nuki sampun njenegan angsal, govonen dateng lebet hubuk ing alas ruwah"

(That reed you must gather before the full moon Tuesday legi! Before Vijaya managed to collect his hundredth mashup, the gate had to be closed. You must also gather the seven pure waters of the seven sacred places! When all Lewung and the seven waters have been obtained, bring them all into a hut on the bottom of the crater!)

Alingga heard her words carefully, as well as Sharif, and another who was eavesdropping on their conversation from inside the bedroom. Alingga noted the important points, there was not the slightest detail that he had forgotten for this serious problem.

"Excite Mbah, kulo is ready!" (Oh yes, I can!) alingga answered with an eye to Zainal's wrist. Seeing his best friend lying like that, his heart grew more and more in the iris.

Mbah Ladi asked for the Lewung Doll in Alingga's bag. Alingga a little confused, how could Mbah Ladi know he brought it. Alingga knew the science of her teacher was far above her, but still she was stunned when her teacher showed her something that did not make sense.

Alingga opened the backpack, took out a box wrapped in red cloth. The box he handed to Mbah Ladi, who then brought the old man into his room. Alingga helped her stand up, then stopped in front of the door when she forbade anyone to disturb her. He sat back down, leaning his head against the wooden wall.

Alingga recalled the words of Madah Ladi, how to get all the Lewung, he himself did not know where his place. Although he knew, there was no way the place was not guarded by his henchmen Vijaya. His head almost exploded, as well as Sharif who sat staring after hearing the words of Madah Ladi.

The two fell silent, unconsciously Zainal's body began to tremble. Alingga flinched when she saw Zainal thrashing in front of her. Alingga saw something strange, a black smoke coming out of Zainal's body. Syarif also, he saw the body of his best friend who began to seizure. However, the difference is Sharif did not see the smoke.

A few minutes later a black creature stood in the corner of the room, its body covered in dripping mucus. The pupils of Alingga's eyes were enlarged, not only, one few more creatures came out of Zainal's body and stood parallel in the corner of the room.

Alingga clenched her hands. Sharif who saw Alingga's strange appearance tried to resuscitate Alingga who looked very angry. At that time Alingga recalled the words of Mbah Ladi, "Fear and anger will only make you drown in darkness" .

Alingga retreated, her body falling to the floor. Sharif immediately realized Alingga who was being controlled by Angerah. Sharif did not know what was really going on, he did not see what Alingga saw at all. He could only help Alingga restrain her anger.

Meanwhile, someone who was eavesdropping from inside the bedroom seemed to tremble, he saw Alingga and Sharif from a small hole in the wooden wall. Suddenly his sight was blocked by something. The person approaches his eyes in the hole, trying to see the situation outside. However, something shocked him, a rotting eyeball was seen from a small hole in that wall. The man was stranded–Ambruk, his head stared at the wooden couch until he was unconscious.
