Nyai Ronggeng Tumbal
Matchmaking
Sometimes we never know which way this love will be anchored. Although the heart can choose, it is your destiny that determines with whom this love will be intertwined.
~~
In the living room looks gathered Nyai Darsih, Demang Atmojo and Nyai Ningrum. All three were seen having a serious conversation while enjoying a variety of light snacks and a cup of warm tea.
“It is better to postpone the return of sampean, until Anggabaya is healthy. Right Kangmas,” said Nyai Ningrum.
“That bill, I agree.” Demang Atmojo
“Mumpung we collect something I want to say.” Nyai Ningrum put his tea cup on the table, while others began to listen to what Larasati's mother would say.
“Our kids are all grown up, how about we match them up. Larasati also looks like Anggabaya loh, Jeng. The bond of our relationship that has been established for a long time will be tighter as well. What do you think of Kangmas?”
“i agree with you very much, Nimas. What do you think of Nyai Darsih?
“If I gladly agree with this goodwill. But we'd better get it back to our kids again. I hope they want to be betrothed.” Nyai Darsih.
Behind the curtains, Larasati apparently listened to their conversation. Not happy with his heart. Of course he will agree if in a match with Anggabaya. If they can get married soon. A smile expands from her lips.

In Nyai Sekar Asih's room was getting ready to return to his village. His job was done to entertain. While waiting for Ki Demang Atmojo's messenger to pick him up, he took a short walk in the park. While occasionally inhaling the scent of flowers that bloom.
“ehhmm..” someone cleared his throat behind Nyai Sekar Asih until he reflexively turned his body.
“They are big,” said Nyai Sekar Asih while bowing his body a little when he knew who was in front of him.
“What are you wearing until a young man like Anggabaya likes you too!”
“Sorry, big lady, I don't understand what it means, Mrs.”
“hmm, women like you must be planted a lot of stacking to attract men. Do not dream of getting anggabaya. Girls don't deserve to be with him. One more thing never compete with my grandson.” The woman then just left Nyia Sekar Asih.
His heartache was lowered like that. The middle-aged parus woman had already pierced the wound in her heart. Although what he said was true, but he never intended to ensnare Anggabaya with his loving knowledge.
“Nyai..” Suddenly Anggabaya was already behind him. What is it with these people is very happy to surprise when he is enjoying the beauty of the park.
“What did you say with, Eyang Wulandari.”
Nyai Sekar Asih frowned.
“Wulandari, so the name of the great mistress is Wulandari?
“Hmm..” The anggabaya nodded his head.
“Who is her husband's name?”
“Why?”
“Hey, I asked her what her husband's name was!” Nyai Sekar Asih slightly snapped.
“Relax Nyia, don't be angry once there's something important are you asking about it?”
“His husband is named Arya Danu.”
“It turns out the world is so narrow,” Iirih Sekar Asih slowly, but still heard by Anggabaya.
“What do you mean?”
Nyai Sekar Asih just smiled hearing the words of Anggabaya. Apparently he did not have to bother looking for women who had been sworn enemies of Mbah Warsih. He's in plain sight. Just looking for the right way and time to exterminate it.
“Nyai...! call Anggabaya to see the beautiful woman daydreaming.
“Then where is her husband now, it feels like ever since I set foot in this house I have never seen him. I mean look at old men. Surely his age is not much different from the Big Lady.”
“According to the news I heard from a big family, Eyang Danu has died a year ago.”
Once Mbah Warsih, he still thought his lover was still alive until now. But the path of annihilating Nyai Wulandari would be much easier since there was already no shield to protect him.
“How are you doing, I heard you're sick?” sekar Asih. The two now walk along the park.
“Alhamdulliah, has improved. I was also confused why it could suddenly be like that, which I remember I had a fever after..” Anggabaya hung his words he decided not to tell his nightmare to Sekar Asih.
“Maybe you're just tired.” Sekar Asih.
“It seems that you are getting ready to go home today, if you'd like me to take you?” Anggabaya held Sekar Asih's arm so that the woman stopped walking.
“No need, Kangmas it will only trouble you, let alone seem you are not well yet. Your face is still pale. You need a lot of rest.” Nyai Sekar Asih looked at the beautiful-eyed young man's face. He's really handsome.
“Can I still meet you? Me...” Anggabaya stopped his sentence when he saw Larasati step closer to them.
“You haven't left yet?” Larasati's eyes were fixed on Nyai sekar Asih, the look on his face looked so upset.
“I'm getting ready, Miss. Just waiting for the person who will take me home.”
“Good. Then why are you here with my future husband?”
Nyai Sekar and Anggabaya are mutually signed. They don't understand the direction of Larasati's conversation.
“As long as you know, Kangmas Anggabaya and I have been betrothed by both of our parents, and it is possible that soon we will get married.” Larasati smiled spoiledly at Anggabaya. He was about to hold the young man's arm, but quickly brushed it aside. Larasati back frowning.
“What do you mean, since when we are in a match Do not make up,” cecar Anggabaya.
“If Kangmas does not believe just ask Romo and Kanjeng Mom, they are all gathered to talk about our wedding date.”
Anggabaya breathes rough. How could a matter of this magnitude not be discussed with him. He had to ask his mother directly. To refuse directly it feels rude, especially the Larasati family is very close to his family. Do not let the silahturahmi that has been established for a long time must be damaged because of misunderstanding.
Nyia Sekar Asih just silently listened to their conversation. He did not want to interfere in their affairs, what he was thinking about now was how to exterminate the demon-hearted woman named Wulandari.
His mission must not fail. Complete all grudges Mbah Warsih delayed decades. He had already endured many wounds and sufferings due to the actions of Nyai Wulandari.
Nyai Sekar felt that he owed a lot to Mbah Warsih, if not the woman who helped him maybe at that time his life was no longer there. He who was then washed away by the stream and fainted. This is the time when he returned the debt of gratitude to Mbah Warsih, by presenting Nyai Wulandari's life.
