Jacob And Alesha: Mafia

Assistance

Not felt, morning arrived. The sunlight was still faintly hiding in the eastern rim. The sound of birds singing humming melodiously, accompanying the Surya who increasingly revealed himself.

"Astagfirefull!" Alesha gasped from her sleep. His breathing roared as if he had just discovered something that made him very surprised.

"I..." Jacob blinked his eyes a few times. He woke up feeling the movement of his wife. "You why?" ask Jacob.

Alesha shook her head, "It's fine. I'm fine."

"You sure?"

Alesha turned her head, looking at her husband, "The ghost went into my dream, Jack," Alesha said. "Your presence here reminds her of her husband."

"Me?" Jacob scrunched his forehead.

"Fast, you look similar. Her husband is from Holland. But I still don't know why she and her husband were arrested and burned by the locals."

The deg!

Suddenly Alesha's body was choked, and it froze. His eyes straight ahead.

"I..." Jacob started to panic. "Al, what's wrong with you?"

"I saw it.." - Lirih Alesha.

"seen? Saw what?"

"You're not gonna believe this!"

"Creduce what?" Jacob was panicking.

"Hold my strong hand, Jack. Don't let go of me! Oh my God, I hate situations like this. Last time I experienced it was when I was at WOSA."

"Alsha, what do you mean? I really don't understand!"

"Jack, the ghost showed me his memory. Her memory of her and her husband being murdered. I'm looking at what happened when they were burned alive right now. Help me get up, and don't let me go!" Alesha stood up slowly.

Jacob got up, obeyed his wife. "Al, what exactly is going on?"

"Stay with me, Jack." Alesha ignored her husband's questions and started to step up.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Which way am I going, Jack? Is the river still far away?"

"You're walking towards the river, Alesha. Didn't you notice?" Jacob was getting confused and panicked.

"I can't see where we are at the moment, what I see is the night at the location where the ghost was burned. There were countless people carrying torches and cheering furiously."

Jacob shook his head, "I really don't understand what you're saying, Alesha."

"Yes if you don't understand! Just grab hold of me and tell me if there's a big rock in front of me, mud, water or something." Alesha stopped her steps, "What is that?" He looked the other way. "Geez! Aaa... Enough's enough! I don't want to see that part!" Alesha exclaimed in fear.

"FUCK!" Jacob held Alesha's body firmly. "Enough, stop this!"

Alesha shook her head, "No, Jack. There's something for a minute." Both eyes of Alesha squealed. "Is it still far to the river? Is there a big rock in front of me?" Alesha swiped one foot forward. He walked slowly, followed by Jacob. "Eh, who are they? I changed places, Jack. Just a minute."

Really, Alesha is really weird right now. Jacob was at a loss to believe or not in his current wife.

"Geez!"

"Why, Al?"

"Jack, am I okay to walk around... One.. Two... Three.... Um, seven steps ahead. I have to find out something."

"Al, enough! Stop this! Why-why-why, remember you're pregnant!"

"I'll be fine. Take it easy, it's just a memory of the ghost's past."

"You mean to go back in time?"

"Ish, no! The ghost brought me to his memory in the past. I stay in the present, and yet, um.. What, yeah... I have easily experienced inter-dimensional travel. But not time. Especially back in the past."

"Alright, enough! Already, Al!"

"A little more!"

"Awas, you almost reached the river!"

"Can I take a few more steps? I need a little more information."

"Al, why are you taking care of the dead?" Jacob was getting upset.

"We can help her, Jack! Come on, just calm down. This isn't the first time. Since I was a child I have often been like this, that's why umi and father ask my inner eyes to be closed."

Jacob snorted loudly, "Al, percis in front of you river."

"Oh yeah. Okay, wait a little more." Alesha advanced her body. Both of his eyes looked seriously towards the front.

"What did you see?" ask Jacob.

"No way!" Alesha. "Jack, the ghost of the man I saw was not her husband, but her lover. She and her lover were murdered by the locals at the behest of her real husband."

"Huh?" Jacob scrunched his forehead.

"This is a murder plot! They were married because they were forced and arranged. I saw that when Miss Anna was threatened to be killed by her husband, Miss Anna's husband requested that Miss Anna abort her womb, and now I see her husband's conversation with the village youth, making plans.... Ish, what are they talking about, anyway, I didn't really hear? Wait for... Uh, so the pregnancy was the result of Miss Anna's relationship with her lover, not her husband's? Ooh, it's worth it that her husband is so angry!"

"Al, enough, Al!" Jacob insists.

Alesha again advanced her body while squinting her eyes. "Whose baby is that?"

Moments later, Alesha flinched. "Astagfirefullah!!" her body staggered, narrowly falling backwards if her husband did not hold her.

"Al!" Jacob was no less surprised. "Hey!" He patted Alesha's cheek.

Alesha blinked her eyes several times, then turned to her husband.

"Darling..." Jacob called out softly. Why are Alesha's eyes glazed over?

"Rix, Jack..." Alesha started crying. "Miss Anna's husband didn't just kill Miss Anna and her lover. But he also burned Miss Anna's baby and her lover."

Jacob squeaks, weird.

"I watched as Miss Anna's husband burned the baby alive. Don't-don't, it's Miss Anna's baby and her lover's, too, hysterics." Alesha wiped her tears. "The baby's about a year old, hicks. I can't bear to see it."

"Enough, Al. We're getting out of here!" Jacob retrieves five leaflets and the rest of his beehive and forces Alesha to leave.

***

Three hours drive down the river does not take Alesha and Jacob to a public place. I don't know where they are now.

Alesha herself, her condition has grown weaker due to exhaustion. The honeycomb that her husband took away had already run out.

"Jack.." says Alesha.

"Astagfirullah, Alesha!" Jacob was very surprised when suddenly Alesha's body was shaken and collapsed. But fortunately, he first restrained his wife's body, "Al, what's wrong with you?" panic Jacob.

"Jack, I'm not strong anymore..."

Jacob sat Alesha down slowly, and leaned his wife's body against her.

"Honey.." call Jacob, shrewd. Not until his heart he saw Alesha's pale face and Alesha's limp body.

"Jack, I'm not strong anymore. I'm so limp..."

Jacob took a long breath. It has to be what? Leaving Alesha alone and looking for a honeycomb or other edible plant? It was difficult for her to leave Alesha alone in even more dire conditions now.

Until finally, Jacob hugged his wife's body tightly, "I'm sorry I haven't been able to take you home. I'm sorry, 'cause we're still lost here, honey."

"Why apologize? It's not your fault. It's all Dirga's fault! He's the main culprit and the one who should be responsible for all of this" Alesha replied.

Jacob peeks at Alesha's forehead, "I love you, Al. I promise to take you back to our mansion safely."

Alesha smiled weakly. Although he was no longer strong enough to continue the journey, at least he could still feel safe because there was Jacob with him.

As minutes passed, Jacob remained faithful to the weak body of the Wife. Not to forget he also floated a soft kiss for his beloved woman.

Until when, without them knowing it, a coincidence happened completely unexpected and not suspect at all.

"The fountain..."

"ASAGFIRE!" Jacob and Alesha were both shocked to find the voice of another person right next to them.

A man!

Jacob scrunched his forehead, staring a little sharp and watchful at the middle-aged man dressed in a sarong and black shirt and the round peci.

"Punten, ari iye and saha?" asked the friendly middle-aged man who also looked surprised and confused.

Jacob's forehead is getting bigger. What did that guy say? He doesn't understand.

Alesha glanced weakly at the middle-aged man. Who her? How could she and her husband meet anyone else in the forest?

"Neng, Aa, Abi Halim, ari Eneng and Aa naha can aya in place iye?" call the middle-aged man.

"Remain?" repeat Alesha, weak.

"More, Halim. Abah Halim."

"Change Halim?" repeat Alesha again. Oh my God, is this the way? She and her husband met the old man in the middle so they could get out of this forest?

"Chapters." says Alesha, "Abi Alesha, iye caroge abi, Jacob." Although she was already weak and half dead, she could not possibly rely on her husband to talk to Abah Halim at this time. Jacob where can sundanese language?

"Well, can I dieu atuh, Neng?" Abah Halim knelt down, staring anxiously at Alesha.

"Take tea tos two dinten and poe ayena, ka langsu di dieu, teu apal way, Abah," said Alesha limp.

"Oh God!" abah Halim. "Well, can you do Nepi ka dieu? Da ieu mah another road jang mountaineering, Neng."

Alesha smiled weakly, "Sanes, Abah. Abi sareng caroge Abi mah sanes dec ngadaki mountain, but brought me glelema anu evil kanu leweng ieu."

"Okay, sia! Enya atuh, lah. Da si Eneng katingal ni leleus. Hayu, said his Abah keun. Abah apal way kanu out ti dieu mah." Abah Halim stood up quickly, "soak, A, akod si Eneng, Abah ningali na car, meni pujet jeng lelesen kitu."

Jacob was confused. What did Abah Halim talk to her just now?

"Sundanese nyarios, A?"

"Teu tiasa, Abah. Caroge abi teu tiasa nyarios sunda," replied Alesha, "Jack, can help me stand up. Abah Halim will show us our way out of this forest."

"Huh? Really?" jacob's eyes were wide. Between joy and surprise.

"Hunt or, A. It's Eneng." Abah Halim.

Not wasting any time, Jacob Langung held Alesha on his back.

"Hayu, said keun Abah." Abah Halim went first.

"Follow him, Jack," said Alesha limp.

"You sure?" Jacob hesitated a bit.

"Follow him! You want us to keep getting lost in this forest?" reply Alesha.

"Ehm... Okay..." Finally, Jacob stepped forward, following Abah Halim.

"Ari can Indonesia?" ask Abah Halim who has now walked side by side with Jacob.

Alesha nodded, "Can be from Indonesia, mah. It's me, rada teu bener."

Abah Halim nodded in understanding. "Ari si Aa mah katingal other ciga urang Indonesia?"

Alesha nodded, "emang sanes ti Indonesia, Abah. But it's America."

"Eleuh sia's. It's far euy."

Alesha smiled faintly hearing that.

Minutes passed, there was no conversation. Alesha leaned her head against Jacob's shoulder while occasionally whispering thanks for being willing to carry him and apologizing for being bothered by him.

"Ehm, Abah.." Call Jacob.

"Yes?" sahut Abah Halim.

Abah Halim shook his head, "If you continue to follow the flow of the river, you can one day or two more to arrive at the settlement. But through the path that we pass now, in Shea Allah will soon be. Yep... Maybe in about half an hour or an hour" he replied with a sundanese accent.

Jacob nodded in understanding.

***

"I...." Jacob stopped his footsteps. "Oncea..." He moved Alesha's body.

"What's up, A?" ask Abah Halim. "Eh, the Ereng is sleeping? What's that fainting?"

"Oncea..." Once again, Jacob moved Alesha's body which, fifteen minutes ago, was not nosy at all.

Alesha leaned limp and closed on her husband's shoulder.

"Olsha!" Jacob snapped a little.

Naughtiness!

Alesha fainted.

"Change..." Jacob looked anxiously at Abah Halim.

"Come, or, spit, soon, when it gets there," said Abah Halim, continuing his pace twice as fast.

Jacob was already very panicked right now. No matter the body that also feels pain because it carries his wife. He only wanted to arrive at his destination immediately so that Alesha could get at least first aid. Hopefully at Abah Halim's house there are any communication tools that Jacob can use to contact his family.

Half an hour later....

Abah Halim, Jacob, and Alesha finally arrived at a residential hut that was not crowded, there were only less than ten houses with a considerable distance apart. But at least they have come out of the forest area by now.

"Well!!!" yell Abah Halim. "Well!!!"

"Anya Abah!" a teenage girl recalls from inside a stage house.

"Pia, help Aa hunt! Jieun keun cai atawa anu hanet tea!" abah Halim's.

"Muhun, Abah. Saked." The girl named Pia came back inside the house in a hurry.

"Sok, A, Eneng sleeps here." Abah Halim took out a woven bamboo carpet and spread it out. "Sorry, yes, Abah's house is not good. As it were, rich gini."

Jacob nodded, thanking him. Want a nice house or simple even a rickety hut even though he does not care, he is only grateful for getting help through Abah Halim.

"Darling..." Jacob laid his wife on the carpet.

"Punten, A." Pia stood next to Jacob, handing over a pillow to Alesha.

"Thank you" Jacob said, accepting the pillow.

"His-husband." Pia nodded. He turned his body and returned to the kitchen.

"Pia, kulub keun until his jeng hui," pinta Abah Halim.

Pia nodded.

Abah Halim went into his room, took a massage oil. He clearly saw bruises all over Jacob's body.

"Al, get up.." Jacob said, he looked at his wife.

"Lt..." Abah Halim returned from his room and sat down next to Jacob, "This is massage oil. Here, Aa let Abah massage first, as well as his wounds," he persuaded, slowly.

Jacob shook his head. He is worried about his wife at this time.

"Udah, no papa, A. Si Eneng no papa, really. Just the same sauce lemes. Later also wake up," said Abah Halim, trying to calm Jacob. "It's okay, A. Believe the same Abah. Si Eneng won't do anything."

"But she's pregnant again, Abah" Jacob said.

"Yes. It'sit's okay. The soy sauce. That's why fainting. Here..." Abah Halim grabs Jacob's arm slowly, "Si Aa let Abah urutin do the same thing. We just pray, may Eneng Cepet wake up the same as recovering."

Jacob stared at Abah Halim for a moment. Until at last, he nodded, and let Abah Halim treat his wound. Anyway, what can be done now? There was no medical equipment including medicine in the house, and Alesha, not necessarily also the pregnant woman woke up even though her body was constantly being moved.

Several times Jacob crowed, and groaned in pain, feeling Abah Halim's massage. He did not know that it turned out that the old man was good at sneezing.

"Yeah! Oh my God, it hurts!!" cry Jacob.

"This time, Aa took a shower first, there is a bathroom in the back, later can wear Abah's grandson's clothes. The body is not much different, really," said Abah Halim.

Jacob nodded slowly while continuing to cringe.

Damnit damnit! His massage is very painful. But it does work.

"Bath, eat first, yeah. I'm sorry, Abah just has cassava yam."

Jacob ignored Abah Halim's words. He is still trying his hardest to withstand the pain of Abah Halim's massage.

Unfeeling, an hour passed.

Jacob leaned limply against the sturdy bamboo wall near his wife. Just five minutes ago he was sorted out by Abah Halim. But it is true, anyway, the massage that Abah Halim gave immediately felt the effect. Jacob felt more relaxed, and at ease. Like his body felt light.

"Assynoltom..."

"Waallaikumussalam.." slowly reply Jacob as he stared at the door.

A man as beautiful as Alesha came in and carried three large cloth bags that contained nothing.

The two men looked at each other confused.

"Rehan, tos uih?" abah Halim came from the kitchen.

Rehan turned to look at his grandfather, smiling kindly, "Atos Abah. I had a long jammed tea in Nagreg, Abah, so late uih na."

"Oh, that's okay at bae." Abah Halim turned to Jacob, "Nah, A, this is Abah's grandson's tea, his name is Rehan, he is twenty-two years old. Rehan, iye A Jacob, and wife na, Neng Alesha."

Jacob and Rehan return to meet. But now, Rehan showed his friendly smile to his guests.

"Puguh Abah teh katimu si aa jeng si eneng tour di leweng. Nyaho na mah si aa sareng si eneng teu apal street, so weh ka langsu. The eneng na mah caru tuh, fainted," said Abah Halim, explaining to his grandson, Rehan.

Rehan nodded in understanding.

"To berekeun si aa jeng calana anu Rehan her. Mun si eneng mah to make nu si Pia clothes," continued Abah Halim. "Aa Jacob, if you want to take a shower now please. Abah filled his bathtub. Understandably, here have not used electricity, so take water should also be used to rinse the neem before."

Jacob quiet. More precisely doubt, anyway. Is it okay he left his wife for a moment?

Like knowing what Jacob was thinking. Abah Halim smiled, "Nothing, A. The sweet will be cemented Pia here just as Aa shower. PIAA!!"

"Enya, Abah?" sahut Pia from the kitchen. The girl walked quickly to her grandfather.

"Si Aa arek shower hela sakedeng, Pia didieunya, batu si eneng," pinta Abah Halim.

Pia nodded, "Muhun, Abah."

"Tuh, A, please if you want to shower mah. The woof is safe. Pia who will be temenin until Aa is done bathing. Oh yes, Rehan, candak hela clothes anu deck Rehan namut keun ka si Aa."

Rehan nodded. He turned to Jacob, "Hayu, A. Chosen the shirt, let it fit."

Jacob nodded small. A moment later, he stood up, following Rehan into the man's room.

"Well, Pia, kanke, mun si neng Alesha ges is aware, bere injem his use," pinta Abah Halim, once again.

"Here, Abah." Again and again Pia just nodded.

"Pia in her dieu hela. Abah dek kaluar hela," said Abah Halim as he rose.

"Tong lila teuing, Abah, besing rain, iye meni ges mararendung angot."

"Heeuh.." replied Abah Halim who was in the bamboo hall outside her house.

*****

Half an hour or so passed. Jacob had just taken a shower and was already wearing the clothes he had borrowed from Rehan. Fortunately, the young man's posture was not much different from him. Currently, Jacob is drying his hair with a towel belonging to Rehan who was originally only a display of the closet. He's still in that bathroom.

Although not large, and located outside the house, at least the bathroom was quite clean and the water was clear. Fortunately, there was still enough sachet shampoo left, so he used it not only for shampooing, but soap as well.

When Jacob returned from the bathroom, he found his wife who turned out to be awake and was eating grilled sweet potatoes with Pia.

"Lil Ale!" call Jacob. He rushed to Alesha. Although it looked still limp, at least Alesha's face was not as pale as when they were still lost in the forest.

"What are you feeling right now, honey?" ask Jacob worried. He held his wife's palm firmly.

Alesha gave a small smile, "Just a little limp. But I'm full. You want to eat?" She returned a piece of sweet potato to her husband.

Jacob shook his head. He smiled with relief, "Thank God it's okay, Al. I was so worried about that."

Alesha grabbed Pia's clothes that the teenage girl had prepared to lend her, "I'm going to take a bath first, Jack."

"Eh, are you sure? You're still limp, Al." Jacob wakes up following his wife.

"It's okay. I'm doing fine. I am strong" Alesha replied.

"Okay, then I'll accompany you in front of the bathroom door" Jacob said.

Alesha did not reply. He wanted to take a quick shower, and change his clothes.

Fifteen minutes apart, Jacob sat in the bamboo hall near the bathroom, looking out at the trees and houses far apart. There was a liquid sphere that had descended from a large cloud floating above the sky there.

"Have you finished your bath, honey?" Jacob approached Alesha.

"It." Alesha nodded. Just like her husband, she also shampooed, and also used shampoo as soap.

"Where is Abah Halim?" ask Alesha.

"I don't know" Jacob replied.

Arriving in the middle room again, Jacob and Alesha sat next to each other accompanied by a teapot containing sweet tea, four glasses of glass, chips and cassava stew, as well as boiled yam.

The snack that made Alesha smile because she remembered her childhood with Grandpa. He also used to often eat chips and cassava stew, as well as sweet potatoes. Usually, the sweet potato and cassava stew will be cocol with sugar. That, it tastes better, especially plus a glass of warm tea. Complete already.

"Tea, Aa, mango is poured," said Pia, "Pia bade ka kitchen hela, continued eta, cook side dishes gurame bring the Abah kamari."

"Gurames?" reset Alesha.

"Enya, Tea." Pia nodded.

Alesha turned to her husband, "Jack, I want a spicy grilled gurame" she whispered.

Hearing that, Jacob was silent. That is, it is not nice if he asks Pia to make a spicy grilled gurame for his wife, the article, they are very lucky guests because they get help through Abah Halim and his two grandchildren.

"Later, yeah. When we get to the mansion," Jacob said.

Alesha. Quite disappointed.

"Punten, Tea, Aa." Pia went to the kitchen.

Alesha nodded slowly.

"Darling, are you really okay?" jacob asked, sounding worried.

"No! I'm not good. I want a spicy grilled gurame," replied Alesha. Her lips are slightly pursed.

Jacob chuckled at that, "And I told you, if we get to the mansion, I'll buy it for you" he said, wiping Alesha's head. "Oh yeah, does Pia have a veil?"

"Why is that?" Alesha looked at her husband.

"Of course to borrow, for you. I don't want another man to see your hair. Ustadz Fariz said, I also bear the sin of letting my wife not wear a veil in front of other men. After all, I only want if I can see your hair, especially the rest of your body, other people just face or palms and feet. I don't want anyone let alone another man to see you getting prettier while you're unraveling your hair and putting on your thin bangs. They'll like you later. I don't want that to happen!"

Alesha chuckled at hearing that. "Basic possessive."

"Let me be possessive, which is important, only I can see the natural beauty that exists in you and your body!"

"Oh yeah?" Alesha let out a chuckle, "That sounds like an exaggeration."

"Excessive? What is excessive? I'm trying to keep you out of other men's sight so that no one's interested in you, Al." Jacob grunted softly.

"If there really is another man who is attracted to me without your knowledge, how?" Alesha chuckled at her own question.

Jacob shook his head, "No! Can't! Should I make you look geeky and weird in front of other people so you can still look beautiful just in front of me?"

Alesha's laughter broke slightly upon hearing that answer. Basic Jacob. Strange as that man.

"That's it, that's overkill." Alesha patted her husband on the shoulder, "I'll borrow a veil or long cloth on Pia later."
