IRENG NIRMALA CANTILE

Part 18: Sewu Dino(1000 days)

Right this night is the night of determination for nyai batari, to determine his fate of life or death, nirmala brought to oamah ingit again with nyai waturi and mbok nipah, nirmala, the condition of the batari increasingly concerned blood and pus continues to come out of the ulcers on his body, his face is almost entirely there are scratches , from the dry and fresh blood, fresh blood, the more disgusting his batari licks blood and pus coming out of his body, anyone who sees it will feel very nauseous, but mbok nipah and nyai waturi look so calm. Mbok nipah asked nirmala to lie next to nyai batari, hesitantly nirmala lay her body beside nyai batari, the foul aroma of nyai batari body makes nirmala not strong to hold it, nirmala vomit all contents of his stomach. Nyai batari kept looking at nirmala, his hand stroking nirmala's face, like that of a man who was stroking her daughter gently. Highlight his eyes were so sweet, occasionally from the eyes tears came out, but his lips batari singleness smile.

“aku ora sure menawa ritual iki arep kasil, nanging kabeh wis kebacut”( I'm not sure if this ritual will work, but all has already been done)

Nyai miduri bowed limp

Nirmala's hands and feet were tied with a white cloth, as well as the batari's hands and feet, before the ritual began nirmala looked towards nyai batari, nirmala still saw tears in the eyes of nyai batari, but this time nyai batari was calm.

Mbok nipah began by burning incense nirmala body covered with white cloth, mbok nipah began to recite spells that somehow, nirmala felt heat like burning on his body, nirmala rebelled and shouted.

Like dejavu, nirmala was in the forest again, the forest where nirmala met the figure of badjang, but this time nirmala stepped more carefully unlike yesterday this time nirmala felt she already knew which place she was going to go , yes like the nyai batari who lead nirmala to find the place where she is.

Far away nirmala walked, nirmala felt something behind nirmala who was following her, nirmala was silent turned towards her shoulder was right badjang figure was stuck on her back, badjang it uterus wriggling on her back, nirmala, it was as if he wanted something from nirmala's body. What does that thing want from nirmala??? When nirmala jerks, badjang is a lump of human fetal meat that is deliberately aborted, yes he wants ASI, that if a normal baby is different from badjang he wants nirmala blood, yes he wants ASI, that is if a normal baby is different from badjang he wants nirmala blood, because in the body nirmala there is no wound for the passage of blood, the only way is to breastfeed the badjang. Is nirmala going to do that???? Of course not, if until it happens nirmala will lose her life because badjang will suck the blood of nirmala.Did in panic nirmala heard a voice, someone who was calling her name along with the smell of jasmine, smell jasmine, and, nirmala jerked her body and ran as hard as her legs were no longer strong to step, nirmala leaned her body on a tree, nirmala realized that the badjang attached to her body was no longer there.

Nirmala continued her journey, looking for where singolangu hid his batari, suddenly the forest felt more different the sky blackened, the feeling of nirmala increasingly erratic like there was another figure coming , a more terrible figure than badjang, nirmala eyes balled as the figure approached nirmala just call it “AWE-AWE” the figure of grandmothers who do not have eyeballs, curly hair messy white, white, his legs are like paralyzed because he drags his body using both hands, even so his movement is very fast and when he sees his prey his hands will be ngawwe-ngawe (waving-lambai).

Nirmala who was about to blur suddenly could not move, awe-awe held one leg nirmala.

“opo is my fault??”(what's my fault)

Awe-awe laughed, her voice was hoarse like the voice of most grandmothers but what made the laughter cringe came from the demit who was threatening the life of nirmala.

“I know your purpose riddle mrene, nanging menawa kowe think wong kang kowe golek diumpetake dening singolangu kowe salah”(i know your purpose come here, I know, but if you think the person you are looking for is hidden by your singolangu is wrong)

“singolangu namung salah siji saka ewonan team kang manggoni alas iki, kang kuwasa kang ngumpetake, ora ana inhabitant alas iki kang wani nglawan, dheweke kang most irony most evener among kang liya. is kowe sure wong like you can”(singolangu is only one of the thousands of troops who inhabit this forest, the most powerful who hide it, no inhabitants of this forest dare to fight, no one who dares to fight, he is the darkest blackest of all. Are you sure someone like you can)

The words of awe-awe make nirmala waver, what she says is true nirmala does not have any strength, just met badjang and awe-awe alone she almost died of fear.Every time nirmala felt indecisive, she was afraid, again nirmala heard hisi batari was calling himself accompanied by the smell of jasmine flowers, like earlier nirmala stomping her feet but this time still awe-awe did not want to release the legs nirmala.

“opo sing mok jaluk teapot I nyai?”(what you want from me)

“melu me, don't guarantee your life”

“wegah”(not wanted)

“kowe mrana padha wae kowe menehake your life, kowe uga ora arep slamet I guarantee”(you go there as well as you give your life, you will not survive I guarantee)

Nirmala was more confused, but the sound of his batari increasingly intensely called out to nirmala.

“jorke, rack need to be recommended, melu I did not miss bali”(let me, do not care, come with me I'll take you home)

“ora gelem nyai I want to keep mrana, benno my life bete”(not want nyahi I will stay there, even though my life bets)

“nyikkkk..nyiiikkk, yes wis mawa iku karep mu I ora arep meksa, nanging me uga ora arep nguculake kowe mangkono wae” (yes already if it wants you I will not force, nanging me oga ora arep nuguculake kowe mangkono wae, but I won't let you go either)

“aku arep kukumu”(i want your nails)

“my nails?” hearing awe-awe nirmala requests until it is difficult to swallow his own salavin.

“nyikkkk..rak kui thok, I njaluk untu lan hairmu”(not only that I have your teeth and hair)

“rak onok liyane, nyai?”(nothing else is left?)nirmala trembled with awe-awe requests.

Awe-awe raised his face towards nirmala, although awe-awe did not have eyeballs but nirmala felt that she was being glared at. With a trembling body nirmala broke one of her teeth and forcibly removed one of her nails, from the former teeth and nails that were plucked out of the fresh blood that flowed, nirmala reminisced when she saw awe-awe sticking out her tongue when she saw the blood of nirmala, immediately nirmala cleaned the blood, not wanting if awe-awe asked for his blood too, the last nirmala grabbed her hair rough, not wanting if awe-awe asked for it, a lump of nirmala's hair get.

“emoh, haire less akeh”(no want, less hair)

Once again nirmala tore her hair, nirmala handed it all over to awe-awe. Only then did awe-awe release the legs of nirmala, nirmala only realized when awe-awe laughed in the tongue and her throat was filled with tens or even hundreds of teeth, he said, while the hand used to walk is where the nails of awe-awe man are found, do not ask his hair is accompanied by nirmala does not know the continuation because nirmala chose to run.

Nirmala heard the call from nyai batari and the smell of jasmine flowers, the sound was heard more clearly and the fragrance was getting closer. Nirmala followed all the instructions, until nirmala arrived at a beautiful garden with lots of white jasmine and black cantilevered flowers.

“Nirmala” the voice of the call was heard again

Nirmala saw his batari nyai there was waiting for him, not as imagined, who nirmala imagine nyai batari is being disturbed but nirmala wrong nyami batari seems happy.

“Nirmala, my son”

Nyai batari stroked nirmala's face, the same as before nirmala was here, but the batari's gaze that nirmala saw this time was not a look of sadness but the opposite of a happy gaze.

“thanks nirmala”

“thank you for what, nyai?”

“thank you for sacrificing your life for me, look at my son this garden is so beautiful I planted it, but there are only two colors of flowers in this garden, black and white, you know why?”

Nirmala shook her head

“nirmala the white is not always clear, and the black is not always dark as well as the human”

“what does nyai” mean

“nirmala accept ku” nyai batari kiss nirmala's forehead lovingly.

“come back my son, it is not appropriate that you are here let me bear all my mistakes, I deserve to accept my apology to my sister widuri”

Nirmala woke up from her sleep, it turned out that all this was just a dream.
