That night Deddy recklessly broke through the heavy rain that surrounded him since the journey from Kupang to Amarasi.
His determination to meet Gusty was already unanimous. How not, Deddy was lulled by the offer of Mr. Gusty, the shaman who promised wealth that never runs out for seven derivatives.
"Based on poor youth, how dare you come to propose to my son without capitalizing. Go there, you can only come back here after you're rich." Chief Deddy repeated the memory of the humiliation from Anni's father, the woman who had been in love with him for 3 years.
Deddy intends to propose to the woman he loves so much. However, it was only the rejection and humiliation he received. So that Deddy was blindfolded and desperate to meet Mr. Gusty.
"I'll prove to that old fucker, if I can be rich in a short time, hmm.." Inner Deddy.
The motorbike is again driven at high speed to quickly get to the house of Mr. Gusty.
When going to enter the forest area, Deddy hurriedly pressed the brake of his motor. Apparently, the feather stood up with a feeling of half fear.
"It was dark, there were no lights along the road, the forest was lush. Ah.. It's been for the sake of being able to propose to Anni."
He began to plunge the gas as fast as he was out of fear, especially plus the sound of owls and the howls of wild dogs that accompanied his journey.
pppprrrrrrrrrrrrtt.....
The sound of the motorcycle tire gurgling due to Deddy who pressed the brake with all his strength.
He was shocked and scared to death when he saw the figure of a huge python in the middle of the road. The snake then seemed to raise its head and look at him.
Deddy's mouth was stiff, not a single sound came out of his mouth, a few minutes later the snake left, stared at him until the snake disappeared from his sight, then Deddy turned his head to the right and to the left to make sure the situation around. After feeling safe, Deddy continued his journey.
After walking far enough, Deddy finally arrived at the house of Mr. Gusty. It looks like an old house, with a wooden fence that began to weathered and only illuminated by the light of a lamp.
He got off his bike and slowly approached the door.
Tok, Tok, Tok
Geck, Tok,
"Sir Gusty..."
"Hallo sir Gusty..."
Kriyiiic....
The door opened from inside
"Good night sir, I'm Deddy, his friend Itis who was talking to you over the phone."
"Let's go in..." Said Mr. Gusty a little sniffy.
"Thank you sir."
"Please sit!"
"Yes sir." said Deddy a little awkwardly.
"Wait to make coffee."
"Good sir thank you."
While waiting for Mr. Gusty to make coffee, Deddy got up from his seat and stared at the old photos hanging on the wooden wall of the old house, Deddy was horrified by the figure of the people in the photo.
"They are my grandparents and their colleagues."
Deddy was shocked and almost dropped the picture frame from the wall.
"Ah father sorry I was shocked, exhausted father suddenly appearance."
"Hmm, here's your coffee, drink it, tonight you rest first, tomorrow we just prepare the necessary things for the ritual."
"Okay sir, but I don't understand what ritual sir? because Itis never told in detail the ritual he lived first here."
"Hm, don't ask too many questions! You want to get rich quick like Itis?
"Sorry sir is presumptuous, yes sir I would like to, I want to prove to my beloved father that I can also and deserve to be rich."
"Good, it will most likely succeed if you have grudges and big ambitions."
"But I'm sorry sir, I just want to know what this ritual is, sorry sir I was presumptuous, I just want to make sure that I'm not okay later."
"Hmm, I'll marry you to a red kuntilanak."
"What ap aaapaaaaaaaa?" Deddy stammered as if in disbelief.
