“Bondan's behavior can't be forgiven, we have to reply!”

“Don't Ben, the most important thing now is that we must immediately bring Herman first” said Sandika.

They lifted Herman to the house of Mbah Baron. Along the way left behind traces of Herman's blood, the supernatural inhabitants snorted in excitement at the taste. While the blood that had been mixed in the lake became a source of new problems for him.

“Mbah, please Herman Mbah!” yell Gama.

Sandika went into looking for their whereabouts, there was only Fatma who was busy cooking. In that simple house, the altar uses firewood and a simple cooking tool. Seeing the presence of Sandika with a huffed face, the Mbah put the cookware in his hand and then walked following Sandika's steps.

"What's wrong with you guys? why is this kid getting hurt?" ask the mbah.

“All this is Bondan's doing. Mbah, please tell us the road to the puskesmas in this area” said Sandika.

“Basic of the boy!"

"Armghh!" moan Herman in pain.

"You have to travel miles. Here it is very rare for residents to have vehicles or there is public transportation that passes, only some of them have two-wheeled bicycles.”

“What? If left alone, Herman would bleed to death. How are these guys? ” scream Beben.

“Bondan stabbed him and his friend helped his crime. If something happens to Herman then he has to pay everything” said Gama.

“The child is always looking for trouble. Later Mbah will tell him on Mbah Baron” said the Mbah Fatma.

“Mbah, can you mix herbs like what you gave to Arya? We were supposed to go to the health center this morning to treat a wound on his head. Given Arya who was very quickly healed so he went to Telaga” said Sandika.

“You are there without permission mbah so you get a disaster like this. Wait a few minutes, mbah will mash the ingredients in the kitchen. Press the wound with a cloth and try to keep him conscious.”

The Mbah walked bent over preparing the potion aided by Sandika. There was an incomplete material so that the monk asked him to enter the forest to look for the root or leaf he meant. Sandika ran in flip-flops and a knife in her hand, every road she went through was marked so that she would not get lost.

Rambe smelled his scent, seeing the man he was looking for preparing to kill him. Blowing the white dense fog, the cold air between the trees waved loudly in the air. The tendrils of the root of the rune pulled at his feet, his body slammed into the material he had found scattering. The twigs fell on her body, the wind rolled flying the branches of the tree fell on Sandika's feet.

“Arggh!” pain screams.

He could not move the heavy branches of the tree, the ringing sound of seeing his feet growing more and more painful. From a distance a strange sound was heard in the welcome of the white fog. It was as if Rambe's ghost was already preparing to take his life. The echo of Sandika's shout returned as she saw the figure of the black-clothed woman extending a long hand fly towards her.

“Arggh! Please!”

Murga flew off shaking off the mist, she flew her white shroud wrapped around Sandika's body drifting towards the edge of the cross. Angry Rambe finds out that the man suddenly managed to escape.

Murga collects the leaves and roots that Sandika is looking for, the ghostly figure quickly disappears before Sandika learns of its existence. In front of him was gathered back the materials he had been looking for earlier in the forest. In my heart full of gratitude and gratitude to whoever helped him earlier.

“Oh different man, one day I will surely be able to greet you. I look forward to that day” said Murga watching his departure from the top of the tree.

Beben ran towards the rice field which was located not far from the house of the Mbah. Looks like the Mbah has headed home with other residents. Beben immediately approached him and told him all the treatment Bondan and his friends. The Mbah glared then accelerated to see Herman. He asked three residents to bring Bondan and his two friends to meet him immediately.

“What if they reject it mbah?” ask Kadi.

“If he fights me then I will be there myself dragging him” said the Mbah full of anger.

Fatma pressed the wound on Herman's stomach, she put the concoction on the wound and wrapped it in a thin cloth. Herman would occasionally scream in pain, for the rest of his life only this time he got a simple treatment. Usually Aaron's mother always spoiled him even if he had the slightest injury and pain must be treated immediately with excellent handling.

“Mbah, will Herman recover? His mother will definitely kill us if anything happens to his only child this”, Arya said.

“Do’ only. The knife puncture is not too deep so this drug quickly permeates” replied Fatma.

Inside the room, Bondan, Kiki and Man were engrossed in laughter. A lot of the luxury stuff they get from Herman's bag. Their voices stopped hearing the screams and knocking of the door from outside. Man walks open the door to see the arrival of Kadi and two other citizens. They push Man in and look for Bondan. He and his three friends were forcibly pulled towards the house. Despite having a chance to fight, Man snapped at the three by uttering a word that broke the man's arrogance.

“Hey old man, you need to remember that I am the son of the Mbah. A little bit of him will definitely defend me! Hurry and apologize to me for what you did!” snapped Bondan.

“You don't have a big head because I know you're just picking it up! You need to remember, your actions are already breaking the law! Hurry up before I drag you with barbed wire!” said Man snapped and pushed him to walk faster.

To give a deterrent effect to the perpetrator, the mbah put them in prison for one month. There is no trial or other legal process. Knowing the prison sentence he got in addition to the evidence of stolen goods then the cell period was increased to five seven months.

Bondan wept in front of Fatma. The woman rubbed her son's hair, she wanted to hug and take him home. But considering his behavior that always makes the excitement in the village makes him feel like a parent who fails to educate him.

“Bapak and mommy say go home yes nak” said si mbah.

The evening again showed the atmosphere of a quiet village with various sounds of night animals. Sandika sat next to the house of the altar by playing the pianika occasionally staring at the sky. The melodious sound echoed by Murga until demonic nails scattered around in front of him. Sandika smiled at the light of the firefly and then continued to play his favorite musical instrument until one of his friends came to surprise him from behind.

“Oi why do you smile yourself?” ask Gama.

“It's okay, I remember this beautiful light that helped us in the jungle” he replied.

“Shortly do not go anywhere, I will be back” soon said Gama.
