Chapter 57: mutual agreement



Danu welcomed Alingga's handshake, the two exchanged news with an expanding smile. The four of them had gathered, Alingga immediately invited Danu to rest in the house.


When they entered the vestibule, Danu was a little surprised to see a woman in the middle of the shroud, her eyes round checking more closely, before she finally sat down as Alingga asked for her.


Danu sat to the right of Sharif, and to the left of Zainal. Alingga itself sits at the very end, close to Laras. Danu's eyes have not been sidetracked, harboring a thousand questions that now fill his head. Who her? What's up with her? all of those questions were said to fill his head.


Before opening the conversation, Sharif stood up. He headed towards the kitchen and returned with 6 cups of warm coffee. It is certainly not a pleasure to start negotiations without a serving.


Alingga started a conversation, he introduced first all those who still do not know each other.


"Mass? Can I ask you one more time kaleh Njengan?" ask Alingga while looking at Danu. Without even asking Danu would have helped her. Danu nodded in response. Alingga looked satisfied, he re-opened the conversation.


"So, all of us gathered here have a purpose and a purpose" said Alingga, his eyes glared at the driver in front of him, then turned to look at Juhri beside him.


"We have an agreement with Mas Juhri, he as Abdi Dalemnya Wijaya is willing to help us find Lewung." Alingga's speech stopped for a while, he took a breath and then continued his speech again.


"But, we have to find his daughter as payment for the deal. So, here I ask his cooperation to end this terror. Especially the Genengan, Mas!" Alingga pointed at the driver.


The person pointed Alingga just lowered his head, he was actually reluctant to get involved again, had enough bad luck to befall him. But, how else. If this terror does not stop immediately, then the next life will continue in a blanket of bad luck.


Alingga allowed Juhri to speak, as only he among those sitting in the room knew of Lewung's whereabouts.


"There are several places, one of which is clearly a very tight guarded place. Omah Dongko, Warehouse boarding house. The forest to the west, there was a hut that had a basement there." Everyone present there was silent, despite knowing the location but, they also did not know where the exact location was.


"So, there are three places?" tanya Alingga corrected her archery.


Juhri turned his head towards Alingga, he slightly nodded to reassure Alingga's confusion.


"Wait on! There's still one more place. Wijaya has one hectare of teak garden which is guarded by several people. I'm not sure about the garden. But, there must be something so that the place is strictly guarded" said Juhri explained the place again.


Moments after he was deep in thought, he suggested doing the division of tasks and shorten the time, considering Tuesday the legion was not long. Actually Alingga also wonder, why do this ritual on Tuesday night legi. But whatever the reason, as long as they can destroy Vijaya, no reason matters to him.


"Where? The place that will be visited has guards who are certainly not only humans, the softeners must guard the place. I have a suggestion to divide the task into several groups" Alingga said. But, it seems that Zainal disagrees with Alingga's idea. He refuted Alingga's advice.


"It's not too dangerous if we split up. Not everything here is able to deal with black magic, if you go there without having preparation, it is the same as delivering life!" refute Zainal. Everyone in the room was silent, busy with their thoughts.


"We can share! I can go with Sharif, you can bring that driver. At least someone was protecting. We do not have much time, as soon as all Lewung must be collected" said Alingga. He is still adamant with his opinion, his debate with Zainal lasted up to a few minutes. The others could not mediate, both of them clashed regardless of the circumstances around.


"Ngene lo no, I actually have no problem with your advice. But, I don't want anyone to be a victim again! Iki nyowo lo! The gawe dolanan. You see for yourself, what their strength is. If we split up, it would be easier for them to finish us off!" obviously Zainal tried to knock Alingga out. He doesn't want to keep going like this. He knew Alingga wanted the best for them. But, he was also worried that the rashness of Alingga would make him regret later on.


Alingga was silent trying to cool her boiling head. He thought again, trying to get input from Zainal. After all, what Zainal said was true, if they split up, things would get more complicated.


"Here we go, tonight we go to one of the safest possible places. What about kostan?" zainal's suggestion when he saw Alingga's confusion, he tried to help Alingga find a way out.


"It's not like there's a basket!" alingga.


"Where, Mas?" asked Zainal while looking at Juhri.


"Yes, I think the Ganjang is still there before the Segoro gate to close. We better go in the day." Juhri spoke after a long silence. Everyone agrees, which means that once these negotiations are over, they will leave immediately for the boarding house in the next town.


"Then, what about other places. We also need to gather seven sources of pure water from seven sacred places." Zainal asked Alingga. Alingga who was previously daydreaming was a little surprised, she was a bit confused looking at the expectant face of everyone.


"We'll solve the problem this way. For the seven waters we think again after all Lewung has been collected." replied Alingga spontaneously.


"To the other three places, we visit at night. Moreover, Omah Dongko is in the devil's nest, we better come when everyone is off guard" said Alingga continued his previous remarks.


The burden of his mind is increasing. Alingga slightly shaken, at the end of this he more often daydream. Before this matter was resolved, it seemed like things would be difficult to recover. This problem not only consumes a lot of energy, but also interferes with a person's mental health. If the person's mentality is not strong, he could be crazy after being hit by the negative aura of all the demons.
