Part 12: Ayi Mahogra

Aam's house is very shady, like a villa. Around the grass grows neatly, starting from the front yard there is a fish pond that is not too big but enough to accommodate some goldfish and koi.

Once inside the house, the living room is already ceramic with a rattan bench, ordinary guests sit here it seems, between the living room and the family room is blocked with a wide and high ornamental cabinets, which are, we can't see the family room. I sat in the living room drinking black coffee, the rustic smell of what I longed for, the smell of dewy grass, and the smell of dewy grass, the smell of clay that was exposed to the sun and the smell of trees that were blown by the wind, the fragrance that made my lungs dance while breathing. This fragrance I can only enjoy while at my mother's house and here.

While I was enjoying this fragrance, suddenly the striped Three and White appeared, coinciding with the appearance of Mang Engkus from inside the house.

“Why?” I asked the Commander why they showed up.

“Too many, too dangerous, Ayi not ready.” Commander replied.

“Ayi has been traveling with Aam?” I asked and sat down to greet me.

“Already Mang, Aam has taken a walk, it feels fresh to be able to breathe rural air.”

“Good then, Aam is a good child, innocent, but quite smart and dutiful, if Ayi play here with Aam aja yes.”

“Mang, Aam is pinter, why didn't you go to college first? Seina ajah has almost passed, ga kasa lah Mang actually.”

I saw the look on Mang Engkus' face stiffen, he then took a deep breath and took it out violently.

“Mang if the cost problem I can help, it means Aam is smart, so we can find scholarships, cost of living problems in the capital later I find a job that does not interfere with his lecture, how Mang?” I'm still trying to convince, even if the look doesn't change, like holding back anger.

“Ayi sorry, can my family business not Ayi join us?” it seems I have offended Mang Engkus.

“Sorry mang.” Then I went out to go back to Dad's house, it's my second day here.

“Basic Kebo Belis!” I heard the Commander grumbling, just after we came out of Aam's house.

“Commander, who tried to talk rudely like that? oh, that's her, pantes every meet there's a kebo behind her.” The commander just nodded.

It turns out that his pet Mang Engkus is buffalo-shaped, the commander called it kebo belis, actually the commander insulted him, by saying demonic kebo.

“Raden want more coffee?” I greeted White, she nodded. Maybe for a long time my stomach acid rose because most of the coffee, before we walked there, there was a coffee shop there, he sold fried foods and a variety of simple side dishes, I stopped by the shop, I stopped by the shop, coincidentally because this stall is also close to Dad's house.

“Ayi, want to pesen coffee?” Uh, how did he call me Ayi, does everyone here know who I am?

“I-iya Tea.” I'm clumsy.

“Ayi want to add jasmine flowers or pandan leaves. The Belang usually likes pandan leaves.”

“Hah, Teteh can see Commander-in-Chief Raden?”

“Ayi, in this village everyone can see his own, but we can not see the army Ayi.” An army? Ah strange, what troops he meant, I don't want to find out, anyway he didn't see the troops, why would I want to know. The less you know, the better.

“Oh so, coffee just do not need to be given topping.”

“Topping? Naon tea topping?” The Teteh was confused.

“That's jasmine ama pandan, anyways I like it, if the Commander wants to use his own drinking topping is.” I saw the commander roar and disappear, annoyed perhaps.

“Mbak.” I saw that Ridho was walking towards the stall with Mbak Ayu. They seemed to be going somewhere, because when they saw me in this stall, they just turned.

“Mas, Ma'am, want coffee?” I offered them a drink.

“Nggak, Mas want to Wetan yes, want to meet Abah Ijang.”

“Why Aden?” The barung Teteh asked.

“No, just want to ask for water, so that Ayu can get pregnant.”

“Loh there is Ayi, kok .... ”

“Teh!” Mas Ridho interrupted the words of the warung owner.

“Hampura Aden.” The trickster hurriedly apologized, what the hell, not usually Mas Ridho fierce.

“Mbak follow ya Mas.” I'm tailing.

We walked in the direction that mas Ridho pointed, at this time we were on the bridge once, the name of kali cirutam, a bridge that can spur adrenaline, we walked slowly, we were on the bridge, because this bridge is only made of wood neatly arranged as a base, tied with a large mining rope, resting on poles made of wood as well.

While walking on this bridge, I accidentally saw a big new time bejejer, similar shape as in my dream, the stone was 2 stones that I sat with Abah in a dream, and the stone was 2 stones that I sat with Abah in my dream, I looked around, right! This is the location of my dreams, how can I come here in a dream, a place I have never been to at all.

“Mas, hold mbak Ayu, this bridge is so ugly, why not in fact.”

“Ya Maklum lah, the village device will have its own Apbd, which sometimes quite sometimes not.” Mas Ridho.

“Danger knows, because many are passing through tuh, to ngerti ngantri, so ayng sebrang passing first, new the opposite direction crossed, if they are not impatient can collapse ni bridge.” I'm concerned.

“Yes that's the difference, between the Capital and the countryside, they only need for daily life, the rest of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala set, not like the Capital Mbak, all fast-paced, all, all measured by money, no one thinks about the safety of others, they tend to be selfish, if the slang, I used to, you bodo very.” Mas Ridho said.

“Iya anyway, that's why I also prefer to stay at Mama's house, if not because of Malik I must also have moved from when tau.”

“ya so deh the Mbak mah, can not be far from Aa Malik.” Mas Ridho meredek.

“Not so mas, working problem tau.” I deny.

We were at the end of the bridge, passing through a row of bamboo trees, and now the expanse of rice fields that we had to pass, we walked on the path that was made for our walkers in this expanse of rice fields.

“Mas inget no, we used to be small while playing at the house of Grandma, Mama's mother, we like to play in the rice fields kayak gini yes Mas, trus we learned tutut, already dapet seplastik home, trus in the same braised mama, the abis was eaten using a toothpick, it felt that time Tutut paddy field tuh the most delicious food we eat huh Mas?”

“Iya, yes, Mas inget. You are the naughtiest, if you play his love in the rice field, if not in the asem tree, later the roots are on the come out so that the swing, on play deh tuh, not afraid that the roots will break up can leak the head jatoh in the ground.”

“Still inget aja it.” We laughed together, while the row of rice fields we had passed.

Before long we arrived at Abah Ijang's house, the house was spacious but still grounded and the roof was straw.

“Assalamualaikum Abah.” He knocks and salutes.

“Waalaikumsalam.” There was an answer from within and before long the Owner of the voice came out.

“Institute of this Ridho.”

“Ayi!!” The man sat down with his head facing the floor.

“Change find Ayi everywhere,”

“Why look for me?” I'm rattled.

“Ayi Abah's wife is sick, please Abah.” Isn't he the elder here? isn't he saying his abilities are the highest? In fact he said, my father often asked for his help, his patients even many from abroad, Abah Ijang can cure medical and non-medical diseases, this was along the way to here Mas Ridho many stories about Abah.

“I'm not Doctor Bah, I'm here instead anter Mas Ridho.”

“Ridho, Ayi still sealed?”

“Change, already yes we go home.”

Mas Ridho pulled me and Mbak Ayu followed us from behind.

Maybe Mas Ridho thinks I still don't remember anything about my past, let it be, my brother is good, he's worried, if only he knew what kind of experience I've had these few days, maybe I was locked in the room, like when I rebelled Mas Ridho must be in front of the house carrying a hanger waiting for me to come home.

...

And prang!!!

I heard the sound of glass plates being thrown as soon as I got to Dad's house.

“What's up mas?” I was shocked, we arrived at the yard.

I saw plates and glass cups flying, FLY!!! Yeah, flying like a bird, for a second, there were no wings on those things, and then what or who flew them, I saw all those plates and glasses leading up to Dad's house, I ran, I ran, my brother can't hold me back.

As soon as the fence, everyone looks at me, I look for him, he must be the one being targeted, for sure!

“Aam!!” sure enough, his father sent all these glass objects to hit Aam.

How dare he mess up in the grieving place, even though I didn't get along with Dad, but his actions were outrageous.

I stood in front of Aam, as soon as all the glass fell. The commander and Raden appeared, the commander threw the green shawl, I caught it and pulled the shawl with both hands in front of my chest, as soon as everyone went inside, Aam fell at my feet begging for mercy.

“Ayi forgive Dad, forgive Ayi.” Aam was crying like a child.

“You!! out you!!” I shouted, I don't know what makes me so brave, I saw from afar Mang Engkus coming with a fierce face.

“I Ayi from Sundanese land, dare you throw things and look at me like that? Subject your head or your head will be off the body.” I realize I'm talking but I feel that I'm not me.

“Ayi, my goal is not Ayi, Aam my son Ayi.” I saw Mang Engkus looking down and still looking fierce.

“Commander, give Karembo Hejo to Cula Bagong, pin it on his shoulder.” I ruled Si Belang Tiga, I realized but I still felt I was not me and I did not understand why I ruled the Commander.

“Ayi!” Mang Engkus shouted, everyone also shouted.

“Cula Bagong, you are my ally, does anyone mind?” Everyone bowed and squealed.

“Aam, I told you to be his companion, not his maid!!!” Mang Engkus stood up and prepared to attack me.

I pull my shawl harder, Raden hits Mang Engkus' buffalo, the commander holds Mang Engkus and I pull my shawl towards his neck, I drop his body back with a shawl, his legs prostrate, but her head was pulled back because I pulled her neck with karembo, she was out of breath her eyes bulging, I pulled my sash tight.

“Ayi, Aam please do not kill Father Engkus, Ayi Aam please.” I did not untie my sash, Mas Ridho held my hand and shouted ....

“Ayi, hampura Ayi!!” My brother shouted followed by all the residents.

“A-ayi Hampu Hampura Ayi.” This Kebo Belis also apologized on the sidelines of his shortness of breath, but I was reluctant to take it off, he had dared to look at me fiercely.

“Ayi Hampura, Hampura.” Seina cried hugging me.

“Damn you Jejadian Buffalo, look you made my sister cry!” if it wasn't for Seina holding me and begging, I finished her off, I took off her neck and I went in to Dad's house, all bowed.

“Am, follow Ayi, Aam is now Ayi's responsibility, I cut off your blood relationship with this buffalo.” I came out with my backpack and I pointed his father in the face, “this is a punishment for Dad who forced his son to be who he wanted to be, you deprived your son of the right to be happy, he's my brother now, he's my son, she is Seina's sister now, understand!”

“Hampura Ayi.” I saw him return my words with courtesy and go to his house, his steps were shaky, naturally, he lost his only son.

Huft's mad I'm not done, I want to kill him, I want him dead. Along the way I was still angry, while the Commander, Raden, Aam and Cula Bagong pet Aam just silently followed me.

“I want to kill him!!!” My body is hot, I feel like I'm pulling fire out of my whole body.

“Come to Abah Ijang.” The commander said

“Ngapain?” another person was angry.

“Ayi must issue Ayi's anger, otherwise along the way all the trees will be uprooted, lest the next village will Ayi earth scorched.” Raden spoke, his voice turned out to be cute, I laughed for a moment at the sound that came out of the savage body, Raden pantes rarely spoke, if remembered it was the first time he spoke.

“Ok.” I walked over to Abah Ijang's house, the famous shaman.

“Ayi!!” Abah again. As soon as Abah Ijang's house was at the door, he seemed to know my arrival.

“Surge.” I told her to step aside, I went into her room, I saw a black creature higher than her roof and wide, sitting next to the old woman, she just laid her eyes out and the body seemed immovable, I saw the black creature sucking on its tubers. All over the creature's body there are many warts as big as a baby's head, disgusting.

“Commander, Raden, Aam, get ready, let's settle my emotions that haven't been channeled." They stand behind me, “Carembo Hejo.” The commander threw my green shawl, I pulled the shawl as wide as the chest with both hands, I pulled the green cloth as tight as I could, wrapped around his left right side to my hand, this is a sign I'm ready to fight with this disgusting creature.

Kusabet is a creature that is unaware of my arrival because it is too cool with its food. He groaned in pain because my streak hit his head, he stood up and went out of the house in pain.

“Hideng Anyir, kaluar sia keg back deui!” I once again grabbed her head with my collar, she was in more pain and collapsed, I stepped on her head and I grabbed her neck once again, her head off her neck. Then he was destroyed missing without a trace.

“Ijang, stop your shaman practice, see your wife is a victim, she has long been a belis meal, Aam help Ijang's wife face her death, apologize to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, repent if there is an age.”

I walked away from the Black Shaman's hut, he said Abah Ijang used to be my Father's Teacher, it was fitting that his student went off the mark, his Teacher just like that, could not help the Wife at the end of his life because of his fellowship with the devil.
