62. Two Dancers

Zizi and Shane walk away from the hotel on a dark day accompanied by Maria hovering in her chained dress.

There is a large tree that is quite old not far from the hotel, located near the highway.

That's how Mary gave Zizi information about the door to another realm for them to continue their journey to the place of the magical broom.

Actually Zizi before meeting Princess Arum Dalu had thought if he would go directly to Merapi.

He will take a train to Jogja, then will take a short walk in Malioboro, then go to Merapi.

But in fact, what is meant by Merapi is not some kind of child lovers of nature who just stay up the mountain and then everything is finished.

Zizi must follow the path of the softeners because he himself does not know exactly where the door actually lies to the place of the eye sapujagad.

If according to Princess Arum Dalu, it is clear that if Zizi has passed through the seven forests of demons, then by itself zizi will find the place of the eyeang.

It could be, it is indeed that must be a condition to meet him.

Ah it's exhausting.

"It was the tree."

Suddenly, Mary said with excitement.

Zizi saw an old big tree near the poorly lit road.

The road was getting quiet as it was approaching midnight.

Zizi saw many fireflies near the tree, just as Princess Arum Dalu had told her.

Zizi and Shane rushed there, as soon as they approached, suddenly a woman hanging upside down was startling.

"Dod."

Zizi stabbed the woman's head to get out of her way.

Aaaa...

The ghostly woman ngibrit while holding the left part of her head that is hot hit Zizi tabok.

"Either if you want a sighting see who the victim is."

Mary saw the ghost of a woman who was away.

"There must have been many who saw him here, so the streets were deserted."

Zizi.

Maria slumber.

Zizi appears to put his hand on the trunk of a tree that looks hollow.

As the mist envelops them, Zizi grabs Shane's hand, pulling him to follow Zizi.

Strange, the road in front of them felt spacious, when they should not be able to step again because there was a big tree in front of him.

But...

Zizi who followed her instinct continued to walk while pulling Shane, until finally the fog disappeared from view and changed completely different scenery.

Zizi and Shane flicked their steps, and Maria who followed Zizi also stopped.

They stared in front of them, where there was a very beautiful, amazing village.

The expanse of rice fields, fields, rivers and also high green hills rise in rows.

Then the sound of gamelan and the music is crowded from far away.

Zizi turned to Maria and also Shane on his right and left side.

"Have you heard that music?"

Ask Zizi.

Shane nodded.

In contrast to the distilled sound of Sundanese song that Zizi heard while heading to the place of Princess Arum Dalu, where his voice was so conciliatory, this time the music sounded so noisy.

Zizi and Shane then set foot back on the road that was still off the ground.

Their left right extended as far as the eye could see the green area soothing the eye.

"Is there a curse or what exactly?"

The curious Maria floated first, she approached the people who were now crowded like in the village field.

Maria peeked towards the middle of the field which now saw two women dancing in a daze.

Zizi and Shane finally arrived around the field.

But because the location of the field requires Zizi to get off the street and into the field makes Zizi so lazy.

Maria looked at the people in the village who were all watching the two women in the middle of the field dancing.

The expressions of the people watching the two dancers were flat, not looking happy, but somehow the two dancing women continued to dance when it was clear their movements were not clear because they were tired.

Maria is about to drift towards Zizi and Shane again, when suddenly one of the dancers in the middle of the field collapses to the ground, but the villagers were then ready to swoop it up until the dancer stood up again with difficulty and went back to dancing.

"They're tired, why don't you tell them to stop? Look at their movements not good at all."

Maria said.

And the words of Mary made the music stop immediately, the people who were crowded watching the dance immediately looked at Maria.

They were all clearly annoyed by Maria who suddenly appeared and commented like a netizen julid.

"You're a ghost."

Said one of them to Mary.

"I'm a ghost, why?"

Ask Maria.

"Why did you interfere in our affairs?"

Zizi and Shane on the village road that saw Maria being ganged up seemed to sigh.

"Why should Aunty cause trouble? we should just walk by."

Annoyed Zizi muttered to see Maria in the field of storm with the softeners.

"I'm not meddling, I just pity to see those two dancers so tired, how long have they been dancing that way?"

Maria said.

"They will dance here until the world of the apocalypse, when they are alive they ask us to help them sell out to people, look attractive dance until loved by humans, now they are dead, they are, so it's time to return the favor."

Said one of them who was like nyai-nyai with a mouth full of betel.

"Yield..."

Zizi who does not want Maria will be increasingly involved in further problems finally approached the stealth crowd.

And the moment he saw Zizi appear there, those people surged in shock.

Their startled style is not like humans who if shocked just enough jump, style their shock until their eyes are on dislodged and roll.

"Bandapati's grandson, Bandapati's grandson..."

They were very noisy while trying to chase their eyeballs that splattered and rolled, and because they were too rushed they finally took the wrong eyeballs, he said, the exchange makes them noisier while fleeing Zizi.

Zizi cawed, confused why Zizi has not been anything they have dispersed.

Now there lives the old nyai whose mouth is full of betel.

He approached Zizi while chuckling.

"Bandapati's grandson whose name is shaky bland is now plastered in front of me, so awesome, you're so similar to him. Your aura Miss, very strong."

Said nyai sirih.

"Huh, aurat?"

Zizi looked at Shane who immediately choked.

Bzz... bzzzt...
