IRENG NIRMALA CANTILE
Part 47: Jida Lan Kanthi
“Jaeda, why are you moody son?”
“Jaeda sad uncle, lately Jaeda always dreamed of meeting mother, mother suffered greatly uncle a lot of strange creatures that fight over ibuk”
“Jaeda, maybe it's time you knew about your mother”
“Hahhh really will uncle tell you about ibuk?”
“Not the uncle of Qaeda but there's someone you should look for”
“Who's uncle?”
“Before your father met his death, he once came to see uncle he gave this book to uncle, maybe this book you can use as a clue”
“This is my father's book? BATARI?? WIDURI?? RAHAYU'S? NIPAH MBOK?? Who are they uncle?”
“Uncle also do not know Qaeda, sorry if uncle can not help much”
Qaeda read the book, but none of the clues were written by Revelation. Next page says “Desa Kalimati”.

“Buk, stop buk” Kanthi trying to hold Nirmala's body, but the power is not strong enough.
“Ibukkkkk” Nirmala is running out, Kanthi is trying to catch up to Nirmala.
“What happened Kanthi?” Ask one of the citizens
“Pak, please sir please call dathuk”
“Good Kanthi”
Kanthi tries to catch up to Nirmala who keeps running towards the forest.
“Bukkkk...ibukkk where?” Kanthi began to despair, there was no sign of Nirmala's existence, as far as the eye could see there were only trees and shrubs that were getting lush. Kanthi lost her direction, the sky started to darken the sounds of the forest beasts started to sound. The wind that blew made Kanthi's guts faintly. Fortunately, Dathuk and Rahayu managed to find Kanthi.
“What happened, kanthi?”
“I don't know mbak suddenly just yelling motherhood”
“We have left this place first, a place like this is not safe for manasia like we”
“But dathuk, mom haven't met?”
“Already, your mother we look for tomorrow morning”
Apparently in order to keep his promise to make Nirmala endure her pain, animal collisions alone are not enough. The stitch on Nirmala's body began to rebel and ask for the fall back. Nirmala tried not to hurt the villagers again, but what happened was that they gnawed at her body.
“Dathuk what happened to ibuk?”
“Please calm down Kanthi, but Mala must be fine”
“Not mbak, I saw mom claw her own body and mother's face changed like a granny bad liku”
“Emmmm apparently Nirmala kept her promise” Dathuk said
“What promise dathuk?” Ask Kanthi
“Nirmala promised not to subvert you Kanthi, until she let me put a protector on your body”
“So that's the reason why mom seems to be avoiding me?”
“True Kanthi, you are just like her real daughter Jeddah you both have getih anget”
“Do you know where Jeddah is?”
“I know since the baby of Jeddah taken care of by his grandfather because he could not be put together with Nirmala”
At night Kanthi could not sleep, she heard the moans of Nirmala who kept asking for help and the smell of the cantile flowers were very semegrak. Kanthi tried to find the source of the sound as her body pegged before her stood a Nirmala with a shattered body and face, ulcers filled his entire body and face until maggots fell from the ulcers on Nirmala's body. The smell of rancid mixed with rot makes Kanthi unable to resist covering her nose. As Nirmala's hand was about to reach Kanthi's face, Kanthi suddenly felt her gaze blur and her consciousness slowly began to disappear.
“Jaeda where are you going?” Ask uncle Wira who has been assigned to babysit Qaeda
“Uncle, Jeddah permission to go to Kalimati” village
“Yes uncle, I did not write any instructions just the names that yesterday mentioned as well as the name of a village”
“You better not go alone Jeddah, invite Bara to go with you at least with Bara with you uncle can be a little calmer”
“If Bara comes with Jeddah later who helps uncle take care of whose cottage?”
“There are still others who will help uncle, you don't have to worry about uncle”
“Well uncle, Qaeda will go with Bara”
Bara is the youngest son of Wira's uncle, his age is the same as the age of Qaeda and for some reason Wira's grandfather and uncle strongly entrusts Jida to Bara when according to the Qaeda, Bara is a rancid boy and troublemaker, and he is a troublemaker,for example, now Bara is nangkring on the manga tree owned by Pardi while memorizing verses al-Qur’an sambal eat manga owned by Pardi of course. Although hundreds of times punished by Mr. Pardi tomorrow Bara will repeat it again, but on the other hand Bara is a man who is responsible, brave and intelligent.
“Bara, down”
“What's up?”
“paman tell kowe gawe ngancani me “(Uncle tell you to make me nemanin)
“who ndi emange”(where is it)
“kowe mudhun dhisik mengko me ceritani nang omah”(you come down first I will tell you at home)
“Lah, your laugh is therep goleti your mother?”(Do you really want to find your mother?)
“Iyo, eat your uncle ngongkon kanggo ngancani me”(Yes that's why uncle told you to make me nemenin)
“Memange you know your mom ono nang ngendi?”(Do you know where your mother is?)
“Ora”(No)
“Well, your yen your rack keeps kepiye leh goleti?”((Well, if you don't know how loud it is)
“hmmmmm, Yen your crew emoh yawis I love dewe”(You don't want me to go alone)
“Gelem gelem rack I yo kudu gelem, iso-iso I scrambled diaku yen boy nganti kenopo-kenopo marang kammu”(You don't want me to have to want to, you don't want me to, I might not be my son if bad things happen to you)
After preparing all the necessities during the journey of the Qaeda and Bara began their journey to the village of Kalimati. Their journey is quite far, and this is the first time for the Jida to get out of the cabin uncle Wira.
Jaeda lay his head on the back of the bus seat, the dream was present again the voice of Nirmala's moans, Ireng cantile flowers and dozens of demits who fought over Nirmala's body.
“Jaeda, Qaeda wake”
“Why you?”
“Where are we?”
“You senile? We're still in bus”
“ouhhhh”
“Nih drink, so if you want to sleep it pray”
“Iya sorry”
“You have rested again just our journey is still far”
Not wanting the dream to return again, Qaeda chose to look at the window, a trip dominated by forest scenery made the group feel bored. However, the attention of the Qaeda disturbed when vaguely see a woman dressed in Javanese customary dress complete with a bun standing in the middle of the forest like a smile towards Qaeda.
“What's up?”
“Nothing?”
“If there is anything or you need something do not hesitate, I definitely help”
“Iya Bara”
Bara felt something strange about Qaeda, but he did not want to force the story. Actually since the beginning of the trip Bara had felt something strange, like someone was watching the two of them but Bara chose to keep it alone because he did not want to make Qaeda worried. And before leaving his father (Uncle Wira) has given a lot of encouragement to Bara. If his father had entrusted him with his work, it would have meant something that happened to him.
Bara felt that this was not an ordinary trip, because his feelings and instincts from earlier were very sensitive. Bara could feel if the Qaeda also felt it. Bara tried to act as calm as possible while reciting holy verses to keep himself and Qaeda.
