IRENG NIRMALA CANTILE
Part 14: Omah Wingit
After the nirmala underwent a period of pingitan, nirmala's face exuded an aura of incredible beauty, the ulcerous wounds on her face also slowly disappeared. After that, Nirmala was asked to clean up in Padusan. Accompanied by rahayu nirmala back to that place, but this time in padusan nyai weduri had been waiting for nirmala along with some servants in it
“nyai..”.
Nyai Widuri did not understand nirmala's greeting, he allowed nirmala to enter the padusan immediately. As usual the water in the solusan is filled with various kinds of flowers, when in the water there is a different taste in the heart of nirmala, because nirmala smells of incense that is burned very thick smell.
Nyai Widuri ordered her abdic to hold nirmala's hand, all done very quickly, nyai waturi held nirmala's head into the water, and, as strong as possible nirmala thrashed but nyai waturi did not push him until nirmala felt his breath blocked his view blurred and ended unconscious. Rahayu could only watch everything without being able to do anything.
Nirmala was in a forest, a forest filled with big trees. How he can be in the middle of the forest is not he is being compacted with others, nirmala walk and continue to walk without knowing the direction and purpose, nirmala, until the longer the nirmala walked he felt deeper into the middle of the forest, the darker the sky nirmala the more frightened, the air was getting colder but the cold was not like the usual cold air, as if someone was watching the nirmala from behind a tree, nirmala realized that he was not alone in this forest, dozens of other creatures were watching the nirmala. Nirmala ran as hard as she could, regardless of the slippery and muddy road the pain all over her body was hit by a patch of bush she ignored, she just wanted to get out of this forest. Laughter giggling someone on the tree sounded on the left right as if they were laughing at nirmala, nirmala fell down when her feet were wrapped around the roots of the bush, apparently the winding made nirmala calves torn, nirmala shredded, the blood poured out making nirmala grimace in pain, nirmala tore a bit of her net tied on a torn nirmala calf to hold her blood. Nirmala walked by dragging one leg, stumbling through the wilderness. The smell of nirmala's blood is smelled by the figure of forest dwellers, call it Badjang. The longer Nirmala felt her footsteps getting heavier as if someone was hanging on her leg, nirmala lowered her head to look at her injured leg, sure enough there was a figure of a creature that clenched on nirmala's legs licking the blood dripping from the wound on nirmala's feet. The creature was like a fetus aged six to seven weeks smelling rancidly mixed with foul, nirmala's heart beat faster, the pain in his legs more pain plus the clothesang licking the blood on nirmala's legs, nirmala said, but it was not licking anymore but badjang was now sucking nirmala blood. Confused nirmala prayed that someone would help her, her body increasingly run out of energy. Nyai Widuri pulls the nirmala's body up, letting the nirmala breathe as much air as possible.
“what happened nyai”
“bocah goblok”
Nyai Widuri stared at the sharp nirmala, filled with anger.
“what exactly does nyai do?”
Nyai Widuri breezed away leaving nirmala, before nirmala's screams stopped her steps.
“I deserve to know nyai, what she really wants to do to me, why she treats me this cruel, I know..”.
“tau did you”lijawali berduri with a loud but cold voice makes nirmala's guts shrivel
“for seven days yesterday at the time of the plate was not I married to a creature who was out of nowhere, for sure he was not a man”
“please if you already know it”
“then why until now I was not allowed to meet with nyai batari, was he not the one who raised me to be his daughter?”
Nirmala walked closer to nyai waturi but one of her legs felt so painful that she was unable to support her body.
“nimas”
“awww my feet hurt so much yuk”
“it takes a long time for your feet to run as before”.
“what???? Why my leg suddenly paralyzed”
“what you really don't remember what happened to you mala”
“badjang”
“after you can walk again, I will meet you with nyai batari”
Nyai sleepuri out leaving nirmala
After the incident it took almost a month for nirmala to walk again, nyai Widuri kept her promise to meet nirmala with nyai batari.
“can I take rahayu nyai”.
“your son wedi rausah sok”(if you are afraid of gausah sok)
Nirmala convinces rahayu to come with her, rahayu can not refuse the request of her master, there is a feeling of misgivings in rahayu's heart when following the steps nyai waturi as if someone is walking behind them every once in a while rahayu rubbed his neck, this place is a place that is not foreign to rahayu, nyai waturi once invited him here yes this place is omah wingit. Nyai Widuri opened one of the doors carved by a woman wearing a cantileted flowers in her ear, when the door opened the musty aroma that smelled the first time, the dark and stuffy atmosphere makes anyone in this place feel crowded. Nyai Widuri took the flashlight, and stepped back down the room, the more in the atmosphere of the room the more ryeb, not as rahayu imagine this room is very large, not as big as it is, the sound of the crackle of the floor wood that was stepped on was only that which was heard in the middle of silence, they went down several steps until finally arrived at one door, the door that was not too big, the size of the door was not too big, nyai Widuri opened the door, there was nothing in this room except a cot (bed) surrounded by white curtains. Nyai miduri stepped closer to the couch.
“you wait here”
Lirih heard a female voice humming a Javanese song, but her tone and voice were very heartbreaking as if she was begging to be released from torture.
Quite a long time nyai sleepuri was there, whether with whom nyai mid-chat chatter only occasionally sound nyai waturi like snapping only the word “mbak” is heard. Nyai Widuri asked nirmala to come closer, when she saw the person behind the curtain nirmala fell in shock. The woman's face and body were filled with ulcers, pus and maggots. Almost taka da flesh left on his body, there are some parts on his head his scalp peeled off and bleed fresh, the woman stared intently at nirmala then laughed, cried, hummed so on.
“he's my brother batari, he's the owner of the cantilevered stack for years and he's tormented until I have to hide it in this place. For many years I tried to heal him, but my efforts were in vain the more days the ulcer wound on his body got worse, the worse, hundreds of virgins I have slain to redeem my brother but no one has managed to make your singolangu satisfied. Nirmala, that thing is benama singolangu he is the unseen husband of my brother, who is now your husband. Only a virgin girl can conquer singolangu. And the forest is the way to where the singolangu are, but unfortunately before you get there, you get hurt and the blood that comes out of your body calls the other forest dwellers, luckily you only met badjang not the others. The stab that was in my brother's body was scratching him, until his soul was disturbed. Nirmala, I'm sorry if I implicate you in my family matters, you're my only hope because your dino weton is the same as my brother batari so my singolangu accepts you to be his wife”.
“so you knocked me out?”
“no nirmala, singolangu will not hurt his wife unless..”.
“except what nyai”.
“unless he betrays, like what my brother” did.
“so Ireng cantile flowers that I ate before entering this house...”.
“right nirmala it shrink cantile ireng, shrink it that makes your face more and more days au”.
“what should I do nyai”.
“I will meet you with someone, who used to help my brother learn the science of stacking cantile ireng”.
There was the sound of screaming from rahayu, nyai waturi and nirmala rushed to the place where rahayu stood there were dozens of creatures who were sniffing rahayu body, the body of rahayu scented pandan that made them scramble to enter rahayu body.
“hahahaha ..hahaha”
rahayu let out a shrill laugh, like not a rahayu sound. Nirmala was still held in her place unmoved, occasionally throwing her face to throw away the horror that was in front of her. The longer the more creatures that approach the body of rahayu the more accompanied by the sound of batari nyai humming, singing the song with Javanese krama alus, the more, his voice was so soft but the longer it gave the goosebumps to those who heard it.
“your child will let me percoyo,hahahah free wae kui boy will die”(your brother will not be able to recover believe me, hahaha free only the child will die)
Rahayu approached nirmala and whispered “melu I am not freeno your crew soko wong iki, wong wedhok iki mor benefits to your crew, your crew mute me your crew need to gigah ise cah kae, you need to know, boy kui wes keno curses keno karma soko opo sing wes dilakoni”(follow I will free you from this man, this woman only uses you, this woman only uses you, if you come with me, I don't need you to bear the child's illness, the child has already been cursed by the karma of what he has done)
“ojo percoyo seduce rayune satan, mala close your ears”(don't believe seducer satan, mala cover your ears)
“wes great kowe huh???rumongso iso nambani??rungokno I your crew rack will adoh soko cah kui yen tetep percoyo karo wong wehok iki”(has been great you???feel like you can heal your sister???listen to me you won't be far from the kid if you keep trusting that woman)
Nirmala began to be instigated by the words of the devil who possessed the body of rahayu, nirmala looked at nyai batari, whether she was only used by nyai waturi. Who should nirmala believe, in the midst of his concern nirmala look towards rahayu even though there are other figures in the body of rahayu but rahayu eyes seem to say to believe with him.
Nyai Widuri pulls nirmala out of the room, and leaves rahayu there.
“wait nyai..wait rahayu still there”.
“rahayu will be fine mala, we have to get out of here”
Nirmala still looking towards nyai batari and rahayu, nirmala saw nyai batari smiling to nirmala.
