Nyai Ronggeng Tumbal
A Confession
Love can be present without us expecting, because the feeling is a gift that power then hope that love does not fall into the wrong heart. So that there are no regrets in the end.
~~
Anggabaya still stood beside the pedati that was ready to go, while Nyi Sekar Asih was in it.
“Nyai, actually there is something I want to say on genengan.” The thick-browed youth looked at meyu towards Sekar Asih.
“What's up, Kang Mas?” Nyai Sekar Asih shifted his seat to be closer to Anggabaya.
“Since I first saw, Nyai, somehow I always remembered myself, Nyai. Looks like I'm in love with, genengan.” Relieve the heart of Anggabaya now. The pent-up feeling can finally be revealed already.
The girl ayu, big-nosed, smiled faintly at Anggabaya's confession. Hearing compliments and even expressions of love has been heard very often, but somehow for this time it feels different. There is a greeting within the soul. The tremors of his heart were much more pronounced. Maybe his feelings are the same.
A moment of silence paused between the two of them. Letting both of them understand the true feelings.
“Not him, Kang Mas has been betrothed to. Young miss Larasati?” radiated disappointed in the eyes of the dancer ronggeng, because he knew Larasati did like Anggabaya.
“I never loved him. I'll reject that matchmaking.” Anggabaya tried to convince Sekar Asih.
“But what about your family, is..” Sekar Asih speech interrupted takala Anggabaya taped index finger on his own lips.
“No need for you to think too far first, Nyai. Now all I want to make sure is do you accept my love?”
Nyai Sekar Asih took a deep breath and exhaled. That was how quickly Anggabaya expected an answer from him. Honestly, so far it has never been widened in the heart of Sekar Asih to establish a love relationship. The resentment that had been seething within him had sealed off that feeling. For him now was to resolve all the long-buried anger. He must know who killed his entire family.
“Nyai!” Anggabaya so hope Nyai Sekar Asih gave an answer as soon as possible.
“Sorry Kangmas, please allow time for me to think.”
The anggabaya breathed a long sigh. Although he expects Sekar Asih to give an answer now which is certainly in accordance with what is expected, but he also must not force the will. He must be able to keep the feelings of the woman he loves.
“How, Nyai, can we go now?” said the coachman who was ready to deliver.
“I go first, Kangmas.” The white girl smiled sweetly.
“Be careful on the road, Nyai.” Anggabaya stared at the passing of Asih with a slightly sad heart. His heart had missed him so much. Slowly the sword moved away from his sight and eventually disappeared.
~~
Along the way Sekar Asih is preparing a plan to immediately destroy Nyai Wulandari. But the existence of Anggabaya in the house can be a bit of a hindrance for him. It's nothing he wants Nyai Wulandari's death not to arouse suspicion for anyone out there. Therefore Sekar Asih waited for the Anggabaya to come out of the house.
After taking one night the journey finally arrived also Nyai Sekar Asih in his village. No one knows how the dancer got out into the woods. Because when the night before Nyai Sekar Asih called the pet Mbah Warsih in the form of a large black snake-like creature that has wings on both sides of its body and horns on the head. Then with just a moment the creature will bring the fly body of Nyai Sekar Asih to the destination. Name of the creature.
Nyai Sekar Asih descends from the back of Saka right in front of the Mbah Warsih residence. The huge snake-like creature immediately shot up and disappeared.
~~
“So you wasted the opportunity to exterminate that demonic woman?” Surely Nyai Sekar Asih's guess. Mbah Warsih was disappointed when Nyai Sekar Asih told him about Nyai Wulandari.
“Excuse me, Now, Mbah. Not the intent of Sekar buy time but everything must be prepared with mature.”
“What's your only excuse?” Mbah Warsih wastes a rough breath. Stared sharply Sekar Asih's eyes. Trying to investigate deeper. He felt something was hidden by Sekar Asih.
“Actually in the house there was a young man, Anggabaya his name.” Pause for a moment of his speech. A glance of a smile expands from the thin lips that the name of the young man was spoken.
Mbah Warsih knitted his eyebrows together. He did not understand what kind of relationship the young man had with the plan to exterminate Nyai Wulandari.
“the existence of that young man could be a bit of a hindrance to our plan, Mbah. He's no ordinary young man. Sekar did not know he was high-scientific or not but I know he was a religious youth. Now don't want him to interfere and our plan can fail.”
Mbah Warsih nodded his head. He understands now. However, men who obey their Lord must not be looked at one eye, because they have confidence in the greatness of the creator and that is the strength for them. As high as any black knowledge possessed will still never be able to defeat the Almighty power.
“Mbah, may, Sekar ask something?”
“What do you want to ask?”
“Is the knowledge and knowledge of the charm that is in me able to make a man fall in love with me and crazy?”
Mbah Warsih laughed until his teeth looked reddish because they used to chew betel chalk and betel nut.
“Vekar...Now, Mbah think you already know for yourself. The skewers embedded in your body will obviously fascinate anyone. But to make someone fall in love you yourself determine by reciting a charming spell to the person you are headed to.” Mbah Warsih looked back at Sekar Asih closely.
“Who is the man who loves you? Remember Sekar, remember we still have unfinished business. Mbah hope you can put aside something else before our goal is all achieved.” Mbah Warsih stepped into the room leaving Sekar Asih.
I don't know why there is sadness that surfs into his heart after listening to Mbah Warsih's words. In his deepest heart he wanted all revenge plans to be completed as soon as possible. But on the other hand he could not resist the sense that stopped for the first time.
As a smile expands on Sekar Asih's face he finally realizes that Anggabaya sincerely loves him because he never bounces the young man with loving Pellets. I hope his mind is not wrong. Back the shadow of the young man's face was present in his memories. How to get excited and when to say love to him.
Unbeknownst to Sekar Asih, Mbah Warsih is watching himself who is smiling alone from behind the curtain of the room. The attitude of the beautiful-faced girl seemed to remind him of his youth when he first fell in love. The guts are not much different, often smiling themselves like crazy. Love can make us happy, but it can also make us suffer.
