IRENG NIRMALA CANTILE

Part 29: The Sengkolo

Towards the dawn of the revelation to wake up to pray, when he wanted to wake his wife, Nirmala was no longer in her bed. Revelation that at that time did not think of anything immediately followed Nirmala to take ablution water. Arriving, at the place of ablution the revelation did not find his wife. The dawn prayer has reverberated, Wahyu immediately gave his prayer. After the revelation prayer awaits Nirmala, but his wife does not return.

Revelation seeks the existence of Nirmala until the evening, Nirmala never returns. Revelation began to worry, where his wife went why Nirmala did not say goodbye to him. The revelation, which at that time was desperate, asked the help of the people to find the existence of Nirmala.

For three months, Nirmala disappeared without leaving a trace, and all the efforts of Revelation were made to find Nirmala. As usual Revelation always wakes up before dawn, Revelation sees Nirmala sleeping beside her, revelation does not believe what she saw.

“Dek, is this you?”

“What to mas, I'm still sleepy”

“You from anywhere, let's wake up pray first”

“Mas I used to be sleepy”

Revelation approached his wife who was combing her hair in front of the mirror, Revelation stroked his wife's friendly hair. Nirmala smiled looking at her husband's spoiled behavior.

“Where are you going this three-month deck?”

“Gak anywhere mas”

As if reluctant to answer her husband's questions, Nirmala chose to avoid her husband. Revelation realizes there is something different about his wife. Revelation and Nirmala are only two years adrift, in the age of increasingly older revelation undergoes significant physical changes of skin that begins to wrinkle, sometimes growing gray hair. But not with his wife Nirmala, at an older age Nirmala increasingly looks beautiful and charismatic.

On Nirmala's return to Catra's house, events keep happening. Like the village where Nirmala lived exposed to Bengkolo (plague), one by one the small children in the village fell ill, and died. Villagers call it the cantile plague, because any toddler or child away from his mother will convuls and die. One of the affected by the cantile plague was the son of the couple Mbak Lika and Mas Putra. They have a three-year-old toddler named Adel. Mbak Lika and Mas Putra are simple families, so Mbak Lika also has to work to help the economy of her small family. Adel was entrusted by his next door neighbor during his work and Lika will be picked up after Mbak Lika returned home from work. But that day suddenly Adel's body was hot, and the heat was very high mbak ratna which at that time was supplied mbak Lika to keep Adel confused with Adel's condition. Adel kept crying and calling out to his mother.

Ratna's panic intensified when Adel's condition never subsided despite having been given heat-lowering drugs by Ratna's mother. Finally, Ratna asked Mbak Lika to come home soon. What makes it strange is that when he saw Lika, Adel immediately healed and stopped crying. The incident repeated for a week, until finally the Putra asked Mbak Lika to stop working and take care of Adel.

Not only that every night Residents who patrol around the village often hear, the cry of a woman. Her crying was as heartbreaking as a mother who missed her child. This situation makes people panic and worry. Residents are negotiating to find a way out of this problem.

“Wes okeh baby sing dead yen iki dijarke wae iso-iso menungso nang deso iki entek”(A lot of babies who died if left alone can be human in this village is up) said mitro

“I'm sure the actor Nirmala, sopo maneh wong nang deso iki sing ngelmu besidese wong kuwi”(I'm sure it was Nirmala, who else in this village that you know besides that person)

“Patience first, do not be rash” Pak RT try to calm down

“I wes rak iso serene pak RT my son adi victimae”(I can not calm pak RT my son became his victim) said mas Putra

People flocked to Nirmala's house, their anger stirring.

“What is this” Ask Wahyu who was shocked to see in front of his house there are many citizens who are full of anger

“Kon metu bojomu”(Tell out your wife)

“Onok opo jane iki”(What exactly is this)

“Cuihhhh shelf need pretentious”(not need to be pretentious)

Nirmala came out casually without any burden, at once all the citizens who had been filled with silent anger looked down on Taka da who dared to look at Nirmala.

“Onok opo to iki, opo ora iso diongno slick-apik”(What is this, what can not be discussed well)

The citizens looked at each other and no one dared to speak. People one by one chose to leave. Nirmala turned her lips and went back into the house.
