My In-laws

Chapter 5. Diamond Earrings

Lara has been escorted by Fadli to her parents' house, forced all this they do for the safety of Lara and the future baby.

After a brief pleasantry with Lara's parents, Fadli went home.

"Darling, take care of your health and that of our baby, okay?! I'll come see you!!" Fadli promised Lara.

"You take care of your health, too, huh?!! Don't forget to always tell!" Lara said.

Fadli nodded as he walked towards the front door, Lara driving him to the car.

"Eating regularly, baby?!" once again Lara wanti-wanti.

"Don't worry about me, baby! You're the one who has to take care of your health!" Reply Fadli.

"Ready husband!" Lara joked, Lara's joy has returned since some time in anxiety during her in-laws' home.

Fadli got into the car and slowly left the yard of Lara's parents' house, he looked at Lara lovingly until her car was really far away. So did Lara, she stood in front of the house until Fadli's car disappeared from sight. Lara breathed a sigh of relief, at least now she was safe at her parents' house.

Lara's expectations are wrong, there are also some women who have my black magic, but not as great as the knowledge of her mother-in-law.

...*****...

The night again envelops the peaceful village but holds millions of mysteries and mystics. Especially in the village where the mother of Najah is located, because of the many women who have black magic kuyang, as a result he is not as fast as looking for prey as before. Such a situation made it difficult for him, because he had to hunt his prey up to the neighboring villages.

"Damn it, the new mine is so unsettling! I can't hunt on my own territory!" Celtuk Bunda Najah's.

Fadil took out his motorbike, Bunda Najah came out to meet his youngest son who was rarely at home.

"Son, if you play don't forget to go home, will you?!" Mother Najah said.

"Mother is in good health, right?! Fadil's gonna be home tonight!" Answer Fadil while turning on the engine.

"Mother is lazy to be alone at home, Fadli often out of town because of his duties, especially since Lara came home to her parents!" Mommy Najah asks Fadil to always be at home.

"Yes Mother! Fadil promise, tonight will definitely be home!" Said Fadil without turning his head while riding his motorcycle.

Fadil went to play with his peers, Bunda Najah sat on the terrace surrounded by bonsai-bonsai that hoard so that the terrace looks dark and certainly creepy vibes have been seen from outside the house.

"Excuse me Mother!" A woman came to see Mother Najah.

"Eh Rahma, tumben's here?!" Sapa mama Najah.

"Mother, I'm tired of this captivating science!" Said the woman named Rahma.

"When you decide to have it, you should know how risky it is! Come on, please sit down!" Reply to the mother of Najah while inviting her to sit.

"I used to be tempted by this pair of diamond earrings, Mother!" Rahma looks sorry.

"You have that knowledge at your disposal, and I used to know nothing, because of my husband I became like this!" Mother Najah seemed to regret lamenting her fate.

"We are the unlucky ones, Mother! Our wits are too narrow, if only time could be turned back!" reply Rahma really regretted her fate.

"The regret never comes from the beginning, Rahma! By the way, it's also good that Sarinah's diamond earrings!" mummified mother Najah glanced at the diamond earrings attached to both sides of Rahma's ear.

"Whatever this diamond earring may be, it is not worth the fate of a kuyang, whose life is no longer useful, mother! It looks like we will be the eternal inhabitants of hell even though we have repented to God!" rahma lirih said.

"It's true, but you helped Sarinah, thanks to you she was able to breathe her last breath out quickly!" mother of Najah.

"At first I could not bear his situation, mother. He did not die after his leg was broken at that time, so I was willing to replace him as a meyang. Now I'm so sorry!" Rahma complained regretfully.

Our Lady of Najah smiled little, at least her rival had died earlier than her, Sarinah was her arch-enemy, who had the same knowledge as herself, during her life often preceded the mother of Najah to get hunted.

"You're dead, Sarinah! Therefore don't be so powerful in your senior territory!" Mumam Bunda Najah in the heart.

...*****...

Late in the evening, brightly decorated with twilight sheen enveloped the village, and a sixty-year-old woman carrying a woven basket walked towards the chicken farm behind the house.

The woman infiltrated the chicken coop, hastily inserting something into the woven basket she was carrying, occasionally eating it.

"Hmmm, that's delicious!" The woman greedily ate the chicken manure.

"Hey, Sarinah! How dare you take my food, this is my territory!" Bentak bangda Najah's.

"Who quickly did he get!" Reply Salinah wayward.

"You're shameless, don't have an adab with seniors! You must bear the consequences of this lack of your teaching!" Mother Najah emotion.

"Alah, do not challenge seniors, and do not feel all these villages your territory alone! Other people are also entitled to reap the rewards of this village! My lazy, angry basis is unclear, why not from the beginning pick up chicken kot*ran!?" Sarinah interrupts her annoyance while leaving the mother of Najah.

"I don't know myself, I'm the cheap snatch man's husband!" Mother Najah sneered at Sarinah who snorted going through her.

Sarinah, I'm the wrestler husband people, it is said that women like this do not want to lose with a legitimate wife, they are willing to be a kuyang so that the husband does not turn away again. As for the mother of Najah, a depressed woman who was hurt wanted her household to get back together, and for the sake of her household, she went to look for loving knowledge so that she eventually became a kuyang, between humans and demons, human beings actually happen.

Mother Najah rushed to the chicken coop and devoured the remaining chicken coats*ran-kot*ran, supposedly kot* flavor*ran chicken is very savory and delicious for the Kuyang nation (mother of the author had seen kot*ran eat chicken under the chicken coop, you know). Disgust and very horrible.

With annoyed mother Najah came home after enjoying the remains of the chicken kot*ran, he took revenge on Sarinah, and intended to avenge her.

"Aaaaaaakhhkh!"

Rambo, gdubrokkk!!! The sound of falling objects along with the cry of someone was heard in the morning before noon. The atmosphere was still dark, some people in the shelter rushed to run to the source of the sound.

"Mrs Sarinah is okay?!" Ask a citizen.

"Aduuuuh, my leg!!! Aduuuh. "sarinah groaned in pain.

"Let's help lift him up, it looks like a sprain!" Limpal other residents who are concerned about the state of Sarinah.

"Why is this so, Mom?! Did the water you brought spill?!" Ask citizens.

Sarinah could not speak to endure the extreme pain, the residents saw a puddle of water in every household owned by Sarinah that made her fall because of slipping, the residents saw a puddle of water in every household customary Sarinah that made her fall because she slipped, residents are not surprised by the situation because Sarinah profession as a palm sugar maker who often brings enau water to be cooked and made into sugar.

After a bright day, residents took Sarinah to a nearby health center and treated her leg, but health officials said her leg was broken, not just a sprain. Since then Sarinah was sickly lying in her bed, besides that she was not given children, because her marriage to the husband of the person did not last long, her husband died shortly after marrying her. Finally Sarinah lives alone in the old stage of her parents' legacy.

Day by day the situation of Sarinah worsened, her money and jewelry long depleted to seek treatment and daily meals and pay people to take care of the rest of her life. Sarinah began to worry about her life, because her property was lost and only left the old stage house that had been reot and a pair of diamond earrings left by her parents.

"Rahma, you've been taking care of me for a long time, don't you feel sorry to see me in this state?" said Mrs Sarinah lirih.

"I'm concerned about the state of motherhood, if only I could replace this sick mother!" said Rahma haphazardly.

"You're serious about helping me?! I'll give you this diamond earring. Look, it's shiny and shiny, the quality is very good, the price is expensive!?" Sarinah pointed the diamond earring to Rahma.

"I've wanted to have diamond earrings like this for a long time, ma'am! It's beautiful, but there's no way a poor person like me would have it!" Rahma said sadly.

"Nothing is impossible, you can have it, Rahma!" Sarinah's mother said she was lying weakly with her legs that had been unworkable for months.

"I'd be so happy if I could have it, Mom!" Rahma.

"If you want it, I can give it to you right now!" Tempta bu Sarinah.

"Mom's not kidding, is she?!" Rahma asked in disbelief.

"Try me on!" Sarinah said as she took off her diamond earrings and handed them to Rahma.

Rahma immediately put up the diamond earrings and looked at herself in front of the glass, really luxurious, her appearance drastically changed to beautiful wearing expensive jewelry, she looked at herself in front of the glass while smiling embarrassedly.

"Hows it? Beauitiful? In addition, I will later give my clothes are still good and expensive. You can wear it, let it fit with these diamond earrings!" Be firm, ma'am Sarinah.

"Mom must be kidding!" Rahma said in disbelief.

"I'm serious, but there's a condition!" Saying Sarinah ma'am.

"What's the sign, ma'am?!" Ask Rahma curious.

Sarinah whispered to Rahma, telling her the terms and what to do after receiving all her gifts later. Rahma seemed hesitant, she grimaced in fear, but on the other hand she was tempted by jewelry, expensive clothes and some money offered by Sarinah ma'am. Rahma began to get trapped by her own crab.

"I gave you some money and a plot of land to farm, wait a minute? Your birthday is guaranteed!" goda bu Sarinah.

Rahma thought, but her mind tended to glitz.

"Have it, don't think much of it, baby if it's taken by someone else!" Ms. Sarinah deliberately teases Rahma to be tempted.

"Ba.b...all right, ma'am, but don't tell anyone!?" Rahma said slowly.

"Ah, don't be afraid, no one will talk about you. From now on, you can already wear my clothes, and these diamond earrings are yours, tomorrow I tell the village chief to move my name in the dirt!" said ma'am Sarinah.

Rahma's eyes twinkled, she was very happy to get an unexpected inheritance, her fate changed instantly, it was true that the fate of someone no one knew, but how to get it is not possible that everyone can support it.

The transfer of the name of the land letter was completed, Rahma began to wear nice and expensive clothes belonging to Sarinah, the villagers were astonished to see his fate was very lucky.

A few days later, news of the death echoed throughout the village, as the mosque was heard loudly announcing the sad news.

"Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un, has returned to Rahmatullah, Ibu Sarinah Binti Shamsuddin at half-four in the morning, please the sincerity of the villagers to forgive all his mistakes while still alive, Al-Fatihah!"

Thus said an officer of the mosque conveyed the sad news. By noon people began flocking to the house of Sarinah bu, the atmosphere of kinship and gotong royong is still attached to the village. They willingly helped the funeral procession of Sarinah even though they knew the late house of a kuyang, but the residents put aside his night profession, the citizens put the meaning and meaning of humanity first.

Rahma was sobbing, though not in the immediate family of Ms. Sarinah, but she had been nursing the deceased for months of illness. He felt lost, on the other hand he knew the death of Mrs Sarinah because of the agreement of the two of them, Rahma's eyes became blurred by tears between sad and lamenting her fate which has now become a meyang, she said, replacing the position of Sarinah. Had Rahma refused, Sarinah would still be living with her deteriorating condition. Because my science will make the owner have an eternal life despite severe pain.

"That is the result of your arrogance, Sarinah!" Najah's mother said to herself, she smiled with satisfaction at the news of her rival's grief.

...*****...

The cold morning was pitch black, making residents lazy to wake up to start activities, seen Bunda Najah walking towards the old traditional house and began to reot it, just a few pieces from his house. He scratched the lubricant on each rung of the stairs while wailing wildly worried that someone saw him, after feeling safe, he went home as if he had done nothing.

Shortly afterwards, residents were shocked by the sound of someone crashing down from the stairs, Sarinah slipped and fell to the point of being unable to walk. Residents do not know the real cause, the mother of Najah managed to trick them, because she knew the habit of Sarinah bu every morning carrying water through the stairs after the stairs to the stove where cooking palm sugar. Lubricants that are scratched by the mother of Najah are not detected by residents, they think only a puddle of water that soaks the stairs.

Now it has been five years since Sarinah left her post as a kuyang, died like a normal human because she had passed down her knowledge to Rahma. But at that time the residents were frightened, because in terror by the genie Qorin bu Sarinah who was wandering disturbing the villagers.

But the terror passed quickly after a kiayi who managed to expel him. The state of the village is safe again, but other invisible creatures still roam, Iyang one of them, not a ghost is not a supernatural creature, but humans are events that are no less disturbing to the community, he said, especially pregnant women and menstruating women.

Btw, that was 25 years ago, the author's time is still leaked, but such events still exist now, because there are still their successors. Even the owner and successor are still alive.
