Jaka Someh's

Chapter 39. Life Grace.

When the night was late, the people were already in their dreams. Only Sugandi was confined in a wooden pole in the middle of the village. Although his body was tired, he was unable to close his eyes.

Even the night wind blew through his entire body. The cold of the night had pierced all the way to his bones. The night had been completely deserted, suddenly there was a shadow that approached Sugandi's shelter. Slowly, the shadow walked, sinking with caution.

When the shadow was right behind Sugandi, he whispered something to Sugandi,

“Gandi, Gandi wake up euy, seutt “

Sugandi was surprised there was a voice behind his back, he turned to look at the voice. How surprised Sugandi when he saw the figure of the person behind him,

“Akang? madani kang? “.

It turns out that the shadow figure was Madani who felt sorry for Sugandi's fate. Madani said to Sugandi,

“Seutt Seutt, Gandhi! relax, I'll release you “

Sugandi was moved to see the kindness of Madani who was willing to risk her life to help her,

“Akang thank you “

Those are the only words Sugandi can say. After Madani releases the rope that binds the sugandi, Sugandi immediately sat down to fall to the ground, his body was so warped powerless. Madani immediately held it with both hands, and she said softly to Sugandi,

“Tea fast run! don't let anyone know, hide in the woods! this will bring food for you “.

Sugandi could not say anything to Madani, only his eyes were glazed over, and shed tears, feeling moved because there were still people who cared about him besides his grandmother. After saying thank you, Sugandi finally ran towards the forest, while Madani went straight home. He returned to his house by sneaking around, fearing that someone would come across him.

The next morning the villagers became distraught because Sugandi had disappeared from his vault. Mr. Sunardi, Suraji's father who died at Sugandi's hands, was the one who was most angry with Sugandi's disappearance, he said aloud to the citizens who were huddling at the time,

Mr. Kampung who heard Mr. Sunardi's speech also said something similar to Mr. Sunardi,

“Iya, I am also sure like Mr. Sunardi, surely he is not far from this village, at most he is hiding in the forest, maybe we should just look into the forest! “.

The residents immediately went to find Sugandi, they tried to track Sugandi's trail. After a long time they searched, finally there were some residents who found traces of Sugandi towards the forest. They then flocked away looking for Sugandi towards the forest. After arriving in the forest, they immediately rummaged through the forest contents to look for Sugandi. Sugandi who panicked with the arrival of villagers who sought him into the forest immediately ran from hiding. One of the residents saw Sugandi running away. The residents were screaming for the other residents, too,

“Hey, it's Sugandi! come fathers! Sugandi run that way ! “.

They also chased Sugandi who ran to the end of the valley in the forest.

Sugandi was confused because he no longer knew where he had to go, he had actually been trapped in a cliff that looked so steep. Sugandi is confused not a hindrance, because his escape is hindered by the ravine. The citizens immediately cheered him, they shouted to curse Sugandi.

“Hayo, ******* you're a shitty brat, you're going anywhere else, just give up on you ! “

Panicking with the insults of the citizens, Sugandi finally chose to jump into the abyss rather than be caught by the citizens who were angry with him. He did not want to die at the hands of the citizens, he better plunge into the abyss. The residents were very surprised to see the desperate actions of Sugandi who jumped into the ravine, they could only gawk when watching the event, without anyone being able to prevent it. The village chief who also witnessed the incident also said to his citizens,

“Fathers, it turns out Sugandi prefers to die at the bottom of the ravine, now we better just go home to each other, I believe Sugandi has died at the bottom of the ravine”.

The residents assume that Sugandi has been killed, eventually disbanding and returning to their homes.

Hearing the news that Sugandi had been killed after dropping into the abyss made the hearts of the madmani sad. He knew that Sugandi was the real victim of this event. Madani so regretted the fate of Sugandi so bad. For Madani, Sugandi is a victim of the poor morale of the community, especially the birth mother of the sugandi itself.
