The time is now at 6am. Abil,
Estu and Hagia are still fast asleep. Dian has just
I woke up and went to the bathroom outside. Subsequent to
urinating and washing the face, Dian was galloping out of the
sana.
But when Dian just came out of
the bathroom and about to step towards the halfway house back, tetiba
there was a voice of a man greeting him by saying, “Today
looks like it's going to be a beautiful day.” Saying a man who is
stand behind Dian. Which when Dian turned his head, it turned out to be people
that was the grandfather. An old man whose figure Dian was afraid of,
because of his horrible smile. Then the grandfather continued, “Cah
ayu, can you ask for a minute?”
Dian who has a good nature and does not feel good to others becomes
worried at the request of his grandfather just now. On one hand, a small heart
Dian felt reluctant to deal with this grandfather again. But on the other side, though,
he felt unable to refuse his request. Because of the doubt, Dian
asked, “Ba-help me what?” he said with the intention of searching
know first what your grandfather wants. If later
having to go into her house again, Dian had vowed to refuse
his request.
Then with a swinging tone, the grandfather asked, “Tolongin Mbah. Please sweep the Mbah yard
let's clean. Can ndak?”
Turns out the grandfather only asked Dian to sweep the yard of his house only. Feel capable
doing so, Dian finally accepted an offer from her grandfather. They
the two began to walk towards the residence of the grandfather who was a little distance away
not bad, if you snuggle from the halfway house where Dian lives.
At this time, Dian had arrived at the grandfather's house. They both are now
on the front page of the house. Without any chatter coming out, Dian took
broom up there and start sweeping.
It's true, the grandfather's courtyard looks messy at the moment. Foliage
fall and wet rain yesterday, littering his yard in
as far as the eye can see. And deftly, Dian started sweeping the leaves
then collect it on one side.
On the sidelines as Dian swept, the grandfather who was standing bent over
start opening the sound. As if he was observing Dian, the grandfather began to
telling a story, “Cah ayu, this village it should not be able to
seen by outsiders like you at all.” Opening sentence
the grandfather had finally broken the silence between the two.
Then Dian also replied, “Iya Mbah. I did not first look for this village either
meetup. Said Mr. Tomo, this village is located too in the far corner.
So the outsiders on don't know.”
Hearing Dian's answer just now, the grandfather quickly straight up, “Cah
ayu, you do not believe in the same Mr. Adanu, Mr. Tomo and Mr. Bimo. They
that's liar. If you believe in them, you will be wretched.”
Suddenly, the words of the grandfather just made Dian immediately stop sweeping and
wondering in the heart. Dian really thinks someone's on
hide from the village to the students including her, but Dian
I don't know what it is myself. So just heard the words of the grandfather, just now,
Dian thought this was his chance to ask further. Then
Dian asked again, “What do you mean.. liar?”.
The grandfather explained, “They want to hide all the secrets that
it's in the village to you. So that you will obey. One of them when
you are being lied to by the news, if the woman who used to run amok carries
golek as a madman. That woman is crazy. That woman really wants to
killing the baby of his neighbor who was still in the womb. Because if there is
who is born, then someone dies. The woman was afraid that her husband
exposed ‘Sukma Purnama’ will die.”
Still not quite understand what the grandfather's words just now, Dian again chimed, “Ma-means.... what ya mbah?”.
Then the grandfather asserted, “Citizens in this village never increased
one for decades. The number is always the same. If there is any
born, someone will die. If a baby is born, then that
hit by ‘Sukma Purnama’ will definitely be dead.” Said the grandfather
with deep eyes. Then the grandfather continued, again,
“Fear of losing it too, which eventually made some citizens
they cut off their fingers and hung them on the doorstep.
With the intention, to ward off the family members who are
experiencing ‘Sukma Purnama’ does not die when a baby is born. But
turns out it was just superstition. Because anyone affected by ‘Sukma Purnama’
it cannot heal, and it will surely die. But just yesterday I saw, though,
many people died, but none were born. Sure, the curse in
this village is getting nasty.”
Now Dian scrunched her forehead when she heard the words of her grandfather just now. Again, the grandfather
saying ‘Kutukan’ words to him. Curious with the intention ‘Kutukan’
that, Dian again asked, “From yesterday, Mbah always said
the curse. What does that curse mean? What eighteen citizens are
yesterday died also due to the curse of Mbah?”
With a deeper look in his eyes, the grandfather began to tell him, “You were right
cah ayu's. Eighteen villagers yesterday, all of them were experiencing
‘Sukma Purnama’. They died slowly because of the curse
enveloped this village. After the villagers died, we were still
alive, must immediately bury his corpse. Because if ndak, the skin
the body will begin to melt, then the stench will smell all the way to the
whole village. And all the misfortune that befell this village, it was us
alone, who has made a huge mistake in the past. Yang
this village was finally cursed. And now, we have to bear
all mistakes. To be honest, we wanted to leave the village. But curses
it has imprisoned us all here. Made us all
finally can not get out of the village.”
Dian also began to wonder what was said by the grandfather just now. If true
so, then why Mr. Tomo and 2 other citizens can go out
the village looking for them? Without lingering, Dian also asked that
by saying, “But in the past, Mr. Tomo as well as other villagers really, can
out of the village of Mbah? Our stray shuttle pass.”
The grandfather replied, “The people who came out of the village only have one time
sunday is outside. More than that, his skin would start to melt.
Cannot be cured. The only way to heal is
death.” Right, what the grandfather said just now is true.
Because 21 years ago, with his own eyes, the grandfather
saw many residents who flocked to flee the village. But
a week later, many of the residents who escaped returned with
terrible conditions. That is, their skin all melted and
the runaway citizens at the time. Since that incident, there is no more
one of the people who dared to flee the village.
Then the grandfather again continued his sentence by saying, “If we
get out of here, our skin will melt, hurt and die. But
if we stay here, we'll all starve to death, because
the land of this village that has been destroyed by the curse. Helpfully
help us out. We can't escape. Our only way
to survive is to survive here. So please help us
to fertilize the village's soil again.” beg the grandfather to Dian
while slashing his wrist.
Dian also tried to calm the grandfather whose expression seemed hysterical
with said, “Iya mbah. Here we try again. Pray for us hopefully
successfully.” Say Dian while holding back the hand of the grandfather and then
rubbing slowly.
With a sad face, the grandfather again said, “Mbah has lived for 70 years. Firrst time
come, this land used to be very fertile. 23 Years ago, we
made a mistake, until this land became barren. A year later,
mbah hit ‘Sukma Purnama’. Should be anyone affected by ‘Sukma
Purnama’ will never heal. Mba should be dead. But, uh,
the miracle appeared to Mbah. After 17 years experience ‘Sukma Purnama’
mbah re-awakening from a terrible long sleep.” Say
grandpa just got honest. Because when he experienced ‘Sukma Purnama’,
the grandfather felt tortured in his long sleep. Then the
grandpa continued again, “At mbah wake up, mbah got a revelation.
To all villagers, Mbah told them to do the ‘Getih plan
Roses’. That is, bring people from outside the village, then make it as
offerings. ‘Getih Roses’ is a ritual to suppress the curse that
shackling us.”
Hearing the grandfather's explanation just now, Dian immediately blinked. Dian knows right about
‘Getih Rawar’ is being talked about by the grandfather, because when he
wanting to enter the village, Dian and her other friends are required
doing ‘Getih Roses’ by slashing fingers then spilling blood
they're on top of the roses. But in the past, Mr. Tomo said that ‘Getih
Rose’ is a custom, not a ritual. So with that feeling
confused, accompanied by a heartbeat that began to pound, Dian tried
threw another question to the grandfather by saying, “So…
what are roses? I said, a ritual for…
presentation?” asked Dian with agitated intonation. His body now
as if shivering when saying a sentence just now.
Then calmly, the grandfather replied, “Actually, the secret is there
in our village, ndak can not be spread to outsiders. Get a rose too
it is a ritual that you should not be allowed to say to outsiders
like you guys.”
Instead of calming, the answer from the grandfather just added anxiety in Dian's mind.
And once again, Dian asked again, “Te-continue…
story it all.... to me?” he said with an increasingly beating heart
throbbing.
Then the grandfather replied, “Because you have been marked with a rose. And in a minute, you guys
all we will tumbakkan.”
Hearing the words of the grandfather just now, only Dian felt weak all over the body.
Grandpa's reply just made it look like he was struck by lightning. Crack
dian's heart stopped because of it. It's not just the fur that I have
shuddering, the grandfather's answer also made Dian start running away from him
with staggered steps.
And when Dian started running back to her grandfather, the grandfather said,
“Thank you for coming to our village. By subverting you, you,
surely our village can prosper again.” Close the sentence
while grinning horribly.
The fear that currently envelops Dian has reached the crown. With the look of the face
who was so scared that it made her want to cry, Dian continued
running towards the halfway house. With a strong determination, Dian will
convince Abil, Estu and Hagia to flee the village immediately.
But when Dian arrived at the halfway house, Dian could not find
abil, Estu and Hagia. Dian's late. His three friends now
has disappeared. Trying to hide her fears from the citizens, Dian
slowly start walking away from the village. He intends to escape
yourself, then tell the police or
ask anyone for help when they are outside.
But when Dian has managed to get out of the settlement, just like Mr. Tomo
emerged from behind a tree and said, “Mbak Dian where are you going?” heed
while smiling warmly.
Inspired by Mr. Tomo, Dian could not hide her fear well. However
intending to trick Mr. Tomo, Dian also said, “Sa-sa-me.
nyari... my friends sir.” Dian said with a lie.
Then Mr. Tomo also refuted, “Oh, if friends mbak currently
gathered at Mr. Bimo's house. They had breakfast again. Let's go, we go to
sana. You must be hungry too, right?” said Mr. Tomo also in full
falsehood.
Dian also said that Mr. Tomo is currently lying. Because when Dian passed by Mr. Bimo's house earlier, he
I saw the living room was empty. The place where they usually
breakfast, now looks empty. Know with what already
planned by Mr. Tomo as well as the villagers, Dian pretended
following Mr. Tomo's orders to return. But when Mr. Tomo
walking in front of her, Dian who was tailing behind started to slow down
step. Then with a strong swing, just after Dian turned around
direction and start running fast. Mr. Tomo who realized that was also direct
running after Dian mercilessly.
Eventually, Dian was caught.
With full power, Mr. Tomo tried to bend Dian who is currently being
wept and cried out for forgiveness. But without
compassion, Mr. Tomo continued to bend while strangling Dian, then
take him to the old house.
And with the capture of Dian, then Abil, Estu, Hagia and Dian himself.
approaching their death. From the beginning, KKN in this village is the same as picking up
their own deaths. And this is the time. Time will bring
the students are headed for death.
