IRENG NIRMALA CANTILE

Part 16: Nyatus (one hundred days)

“mbok, nyai sleepuri where?”

“home, while you stay here” first

Nirmala could only resign, nirmala sat still her memory laughed when her parents were still alive and while nirmala was still living in waiting.

“mother, father..nirmala longu” (crying)

“urip iku kadhang ora jumbuh what kang awake dhewe arep-arep, what kang kedadeyan karo kowe pancen dudu salahmu nanging iki wis dadi ratan your destiny ana at one line karo dheweke kabeh. I accuse siji siji bab kang kudu kowe ngerti”(life is sometimes not what we expect, life is not what we expect, what happened to you is not your fault but this has become your destiny path to be on one line with them.I show you one thing you should know)

Mbok Pinah asked to wipe the face of nirmala, in his mind nirmala slowly until nirmala could see the tragedy where she and her parents had an accident. At that time Nirmala and her parents were riding a bicycle after returning home from the market because her father got more money from his boss, while on the way home suddenly there was a car that hit them, he said, the car was so fast that nirmala and her parents bounced, nirmala survived and her parents died on the spot. The person in the car is also no less severe, the front of the car is ranged because it hit a tree, but there is a face that is familiar from the victim who was in the car, the face of the little boy was very similar to that of a graceful face, although part of his face was covered in blood flowing from his head but nirmala could clearly see that the child was graceful. Mbok pinah rubbed back nirmala's face, and that's where nirmala realized with what she just saw, that graceful parents who had hit her and her parents. But both nirmala and graceful both lost their parents, which is why every time nirmala saw the graceful face nirmala always remembered the accident.

“kowe wis ngerti saiki, banjur what kang peng kowe dokake karo children iku”

(you already know now, then what you want to do with the boy)

“emang I kudu ngapa mbok” (indeed I have to do mbok)

Mbok nipah smiled grinning, making nirmala who saw him shudder in horror

“nirmala kowe ngerti menawa kowe sabenere mung didadekake dening waturi kanggo ransoms batari kang wektu iki again held dening singolangu?”( nirmala do you know if you are actually only used as a tool by the widow to redeem batari tribe currently being held by the singolangu?)

“kowe iku mung dadi tumbal, ben batari can ucul saka singolangu and Ireng” cantile shrink (you are only as a mung tumbal, so that the batari can be separated from singolangu and Ireng cantile shrink)

Whether you have to believe it or not, but why mbok nipah says this is not mbok nipah is a spiritual teacher nyai batari.

“nanging kowe ora kowe kowe ora kudu ngorbanake your crew, nanging itpun ora easy , dadi gantine kowe kudu presenting satus prawan kanggo singolangu. dudu I ora mengini batari bali nanging saka wiwiting I wis menehi ngerti marang waturi menawa kako ana kelem dadi redeemer dheweke kudu ngerti kang sabenere, nanging waturi ora sengjang ning kowe kang sejurue”(but you don't have to worry you don't have to sacrifice yourself, but it's not easy , instead you have to dedicate a hundred girls to singolangu. It's not that I don't want the batari back but from the beginning I've told the weduri if there will be a willing redeemer he must know the truth, but the weduri did not tell you the truth)

“batari wis adoh mired njero shackles, I wis mengetine saka early nanging my talk ora digubris, ana decision in your hands thinkake well, good, I may ora peng mengorbanake life wong kang ora guilty”(batari was far mired in shackles, I had warned him from the beginning but my speech was not published, the decision is in your hands think well, think well, I just don't want to sacrifice innocent lives)

Nirmala was confused to think of herself, where exactly she was, why this was so complicated. Nirmala did not sleep overnight, all the words mbok nipah ringing in nirmala's ear. The more late nirmala the more restless, many times nirmala justifies his sleeping position trying to close his eyes but difficult, especially every night in this house smell of incense pungent, and, and interspersed with something that smelled like a fry flower. Nirmala tried to remember the smell, it was a smell as a sign of the arrival of singolangu. But before mbok nipah always advised nirmala, not to go out of the room at night especially after the passing of ten o'clock at night, but the smell of languid that makes nirmala more curious, but the smell of the smell of the smell of the smell of the light is very pungent makes nirmala more curious, nirmala opened the door slowly as much as possible did not create a sound, step by step nirmala approached the room owned by mbok nipah, because the house mbok nipah made of woven bamboo makes it easier for nirmala to peek from the gap of the room. Nirmala covered her mouth with her hands after being shocked at what she was seeing, nipah was in bed with singolangu, nirmala saw clearly the figure of singolangu, tall, hairy, nirmala, almost like genderowo but more creepy singolangu. Fear enveloped Nirmala's body at that moment, she rushed back to her room.

“so all this time the creature that has been sleeping with me, is not the creature that they are now facing to reclaim the tribe nyai batari, but why mbok nipah is in bed with the creature?”

“isn't it just people who are still virgins and wear cantilevel Ireng stacking married by singolangu?”

“maybe mbok nipah is also one of the people who wear Ireng cantile? If you think again during my stay here I never saw a husband mbok nipah?”

Tired of thinking about everything, making nirmala involuntarily fall asleep.

Tonight the hundredth night of nirmala is at home mbok nipah, the longer the nirmala here many strange events that nirmala met, the more, during the day mbok nipah always go somewhere after the sorop mbok nipah will come with a girl, always like that every day mbok nipah will come with a different girl, but the girl had blank eyes like disirep (hypnotic), once a time nirmala peek mbok nipah was in the room again with the girl who was brought mbok nipah, nirmala, the girl lay in her arms and legs tied with a white cloth just like nirmala when she first came to this house, but not a pair of stacking but slitting the girl's neck until the blood dripped and mbok nipah holds the girl's blood in a bowl made of coconut shells, he said, not only until there mbok nipah will drink the blood until it runs out. Nirmala who saw it could say nothing more, nausea, fear, pity with the girls were mixed into one, but nothing da nirmala could do, nirmala chose silence because she was still alive. In the afternoon, when there was no nipah house nirmala went into the room, looking for the suit of the girl namu nirmala found, in the corner of the room nirmala saw a door, nirmala open the door, nirmala open the door, the door leads to a fairly large backyard, in the ground there are many wooden benchmarks such as headstones, so all this time the girls were buried here. Day began sorop nirmala intend to return to his room before mbok nipah back but nirmala late mbok nipah has come and as usual with a girl, nirmala, nirmala panic and hide behind the door but mbok nipah know the whereabouts of nirmala.

“metu, I reti your crew ning kono”(out I know you're there)

Nirmala strode slowly, her body trembling withstanding fear, as her eyes turned towards the basket where the girl lay nirmala aghast at the startled shock the girl was graceful.

“anggun??”nirmala's eyes glared in disbelief

Mbok Nipah laughed at the reaction of nirmala

“ojo mbok, ojo cah niku”(jangn mbok don't kid it)

But all is too late, nirmala efforts stop mbok nipah in vain, mbok nipah already slit the neck gracefully. Nirmala drowned to see her best friend killed in front of her.

The next morning Nirmala came home to be picked up by marno.

before Nirmala got into the car she saw once again the face of Nipah, who was smiling looking at Nirmala.

"atos-atos geh pak Marno"(beware sir Marno)

"inggih mbok, Kulo mlampah rumiyen"(iya mbok I say goodbye first)

"awakmu wes kabeh spirit, ati-ati ya ora Kabeh sing mripatmu kui bener"(you've seen all right, be careful not everything that is seen by the eyes is true)

mbok Nipah whispered softly into Nirmala's ear, Nirmala rushed into the car.

along the way home along the village road Nirmala saw dozens of girls lined up staring at Nirmala, their faces like the faces of the girls who were victims of Mbok Nipah.

"rausah reken mbak jorke wae"(do not be ignored mbak let alone)

Nirmala chose to ignore them, and chose to rest considering the journey that Nirmala would take quite time.
