Nyai Ronggeng Tumbal

Mbah Warsih

Already entering the twilight, the Hunchback to the hut Mbah Warsih. Stage shaped hut measuring 10m x7m. Although it has been a long time the hut still looks very sturdy because it is made of teak wood.

Si Bungkuk menaiki anak tangga yang tak begitu tinggi. Sesampainya di muka pintu dia mengetuknya sebanyak tiga kali. Tidak lama berselang muncul wanita tua yang tak lain adalah Mbah Warsih dari balik pintu. Dengan segera Si Bungkuk masuk. Mata Mbak Warsih mengedar kesekeliling sebelum menutup pintu.

“There are still people who are curious,” said Mbah Warsih

“Luck for us, Mbah, windfall is going nowhere,” said Strong while chuckling.

“hemm..” Mbah Warsih nodded in agreement with Strong's remark. Then the one-eyed old woman sat on the mat-shaped wooden floor.

“There is something I want to tell Nyai Sekar, Mbah.” Strong to say the purpose and purpose.

“Cah Ayu, come out,” call Mbah Warsih.

Nyai Sekar Asih who was in his room rushed out when he heard the call Mbah Warsih. The beautiful girl with plump eyes walked up to Mbah Warsih and sat down beside him.

“Owalah no Mas Strong anyway,” saya Nyai Sekar Asih.

“I, Nyai.” The dwarf-bodied man lowered his head not daring to look at Nyai Ronggeng's face. I don't know that man always feels nervous when he meets Nyai Sekar Asih.

“What's up, Mbah?” tanya Nyai Sekar Asih

“There is a message you want to send Strong, Cah Ayu.” Answer Mbah Warsih.

Nyai Sekar Asih then turned to the Hunchback who was still down.

"What is the message you want to convey, Mas Strong?" ask Sekar Asih.

“Ki Demang from Cibening village will hold his son's wedding party. He was invited to dance there. The event will be held next week," said the Hunchback

“Cibening Village?” mbah Warsih. The old face that was already filled with frown lines looked startled and flushed. His hand immediately clenched tightly.

“Yes, Mbah,” replied Strong whose face is now raised staring Mbah Warsih.

“Then know that village?” tanya Nyai Sekar Asih's.

“That demonic woman is still there!” mbah Warsih said with Face looking so angry. A glance flashed across the face of the woman he called the devil earlier.

“Who is he, Mbah? Ask Nyai Sekar Asih.

Mbah Warsih did not answer, he moved from his seat . his mind now floated thirty years ago. He used to be a very famous ronggeng dancer in the village of Cibening. Until a handsome man named Arya Danu, the son of a Lurah in Cibening Village fell in love with him. The same feelings of Warsih towards the man. Until they both finally get into a relationship.

Apparently their love journey is not as smooth as imagined, Arya Danu's parents had apparently betrothed the man to the daughter of a rich merchant named Nyai Wulandari.

The marriage was opposed by Arya Danu. The rejection was heard until Nyai Wulandari's exasperation. Obviously, the high-caste woman felt humiliated especially Nyai Wulandari had long placed her heart on Arya Danu who was famous for her good looks. He did not want his match with the man to fail.

Apparently Nyai Wulandari find out who is the woman who is now loved by Arya Danu. With all his cunning he told some men to kidnap Warsih and bring him to his face.

“You're the one who caused Arya Danu to reject me! The man was stupid did not know where the gold and stone,” said Nyai Wulandari with a cynical smile.

Warsih who if it's scared can only cry bitterly. Begging for release many times.

“What will we do to this girl, Nyai?” ask a man who was assigned to kidnap Warsih.

“Destroyed his honor and cogkel one of his eyeballs that had been presumptuous looking at my lover Arya Danu!” nyai Wulandari said as she stepped away from Warsih which was increasingly crying out.

The four men that Nyai Wulandari paid immediately carried out his orders. In turns the depraved men scowled the honor of Warsih. Until when one of his eyeballs in the grip of Warsih was no longer remembered anything.

I don't know how long Warsih was unconscious when he woke up he was already in a cave. He rose slowly from his bed which was a large, elongated stone. His body parts are still a little painful. He felt one of his eyes still throbbing. I don't know what was stuck in his injured eye. The cave was so quiet and cold. Only sounding gurgling water dripping from the sidelines of the stone.

“You are already aware apparently!” There was a voice that echoed but did not appear to exist.

Warsih reflexively immediately circulated his gaze. Thankfully, one of his eyes was intact.

“Si...who are you?” warih said fearfully

“Hahaha..” There was the sound of laughter along with the appearance of thick white smoke. The white smoke slowly revealed the form of a long-bearded grandfather.

With a single stroke of the stick he was holding, the old man was already standing right in front of Warsih.

“You were unconscious for three days,” said the grandfather

“So the grandfather who helped me?” ask Warsih

“Hmm..” The black-robed grandfather nodded.

“Supposed grandfather wouldn't have to help me, just let me die. Even my life has no meaning. Those bastards have snorted my honor.” Warsih suddenly shouted hysterically in view of the tragedy that had befallen him.

“You really want to die?” ask the Grandpa.

Warsih did not answer he was still crying lamenting his terrible fate.

“If you die, those who have ruined your life still live quietly. Are you ready?” Grandpa continued his question.

Slowly Warsih began to be able to control his emotions, although still a hiccup. He pondered the words of Grandfather.

“I can what, I'm just a weak girl,” Warsih said resignedly.

“Just relax, I'll help you.” Strictly the grandfather.

For years, Grandpa trained and taught the knowledge he had to Warsih. To make Nyai Sangkaweni the snake demon as his companion. Wherever Warsih goes Nyai Sangkaweni will be by his side.

Until the day of vengeance. Warsih came out of the cave. The only men who have taken away his honor he made a sacrifice for Nyai Sangkaweni and his pet demons.

Braakk...!

Suddenly there was a loud sound from outside that broke the daydream of Mbah Warsih. The Hunchback and Nyai Sekar Asih immediately stood up from his seat.

“She's already in our snare!” mbah Warsih said with a grin.
