IRENG NIRMALA CANTILE

Part 56: Cantilever Base

I sped up my steps following the scent of the cantile flower that had been guiding me, it didn't take long for us to be in front of a building that resembled a gate. I stepped my foot to get inside but something seemed to hold my step.

I and the others were surprised to see Kanthi suddenly fall to the ground, lost after which Kanthi groaned and spoke in a voice and tone I did not recognize.

"Get out of this place my son, leave this woman. Don't go too far, it's not you you're not gonna be able to fight it. My son, jaida, go and get out of this godforsaken place"

"Your son? you mean you're my mother's Nirmala?"

"Well, I'm the mother who gave birth to you, and I miss her little daughter"

"Mother" Bara's hand held me close to Kanthi, who was possessed by my mother

"Take off me Bara"

"Don't this jaida be very dangerous to you"

"Come here, I won't hurt my beloved daughter. Come here dear mother misses you so much" I let go of Bara's hand holding me and ran towards Kanthi, I can feel my mother's affection in Kanthi's body, I can feel her love, she gently stroked my hair and I saw her tears dripping.

"Al-Qaeda my daughter, go son mother does not want you to get involved with this all you do not deserve to bear the sins of mother. Leave this kid instead"

"No Ma'am, Kanthi is also your son if there are people who deserve to bear those sins I'm Bu not Kanthi"

"Don't be stupid, this girl has nothing to do with me, and I've sworn to your father's death that I wouldn't have involved in this cantilever"

"But Kanthi is innocent Ma'am"

"This is the destiny that was outlined by Jida, your birth and birth have been determined and it will not be changed"

"No I won't let mom topple Kanthi any way I'll break Ireng's cantilevered chain"

"It's not that easy as Qaeda, you better get out of here before Nipah's demit catches you"

Kanthi groaned long enough that her body lost consciousness as well as me collapsing together with Kanthi's body because my energy was not strong enough to hold Kanthi's body.

"You all right?" Pras and Bara simultaneously approached me and Kanthi.

As much as we could try to regain Kanthi's consciousness, Kanthi slowly began to try to open her eyes.

"Jaeda, get out of this place" Kanthi said

"No Kanthi we can definitely fight them"

"No, no, no, no, the only thing they want is me, save your lives, let me stay here" my eyes began to glaze over at Kanthi's words I couldn't hold back my emotions. But what should I do, I was just a kid yesterday afternoon who didn't know the vastness of the outside world. How could I stop all this.

When my troubled mind remembered my father, my father from childhood always taught me to give everything to the Creator, none of which can match his power.

I thought of something that might help us. I remember when my uncle taught me and Bara to recite a prayer that could summon the spirits/sukmas of the living and the dead.

"Bara, do you remember the prayer that uncle taught us in the pendopo?" I try to remember that.

"Yes, the prayer of the caller Sukma"

"Yes Bara, can we use that prayer to call our father's Sukma?"

"It could be Qaeda but for that we have to be absolutely holy, I think three days is enough for us to fast and sign up to call our father's Sukma"

There was a spirit and hope in us, we were a little away from the archway of the cantile.

We decided to hide in a cave on the other side of the forest.

"Jaida, my father is just an ordinary man, can he help us? he has no power" asked Kanthi

I thought for a moment about someone who could be asked for help. Ki Ageng, I remember the old grandfather who helped me.

"Ki Ageng, ask Kanthi for help"

Kanthi nodded, and we immediately started the tirakat and fasting that we were going to do.
