It was a night of torture for Sukarni. In the bamboo forest, Larasati tortured Sukarni to his satisfaction. The man who was already in pain was only able to compassionate expectantly and beg for forgiveness for his actions to Larasati.
Only laughter could be heard from the mouth of the old virgin Larasati. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Sukarni's body was full of incision wounds from a full pointed bamboo spear that had been poisoned. The woman turned cruel after what they did to her.
Sukarni again screamed as his thigh was pierced by a pointed bamboo by Larasati. Not only the thigh, Larasati also pierced the calf, the right abdomen then the shoulder and the last is the arm. Sukarni was like an undead and then with the rest of Larasati said,-
“Go home! Tell them who did this to you!” Larasati left Sukarni who fell on the grass in a weak condition.
The next day, the village chief along with the villagers searched Sukarni into the bamboo forest at Iyem's request. Just five hundred meters into the forest, their steps stopped when they saw Sukarni's body lying on the grass. The man was exhausted and drained of a lot of blood due to the holes in his body.
The village chief ordered some men to remove Sukarni but they were reluctant to recall the leech coming out of the man's genitals. The village chief finally told the residents to cut down bamboo stems and make stretchers for Sukarni. The village chief also asked Mudin's sarong to cover Sukarni's plain body because his clothes had been tattered.
“Who did this, Kang?” mudin asked as he covered Sukarni's weak body lying on a bamboo stretcher.
“L-barrel.”
Glegs…
Mudim. He did not expect to hear the name from the mouth of Sukarni. After mentioning the name of Laras, Sukarni went to the god. Iyem looked sad but not to the point of crying roared. It was because during her time as Sukarni's wife, she was not treated properly. Iyem is just a place to satisfy the desire then the maid at home and work to cover household needs. But Iyem remained patient as this was his mistake of marrying Sukarni the result of memelet the man.
Iyem, the widow of one's son gave up Sukarni's departure. Whether or not Sukarni, his life will go on. When receiving the visit of the villagers who want to worship, a foreign figure was seen but made the mothers look cynically at the woman who was entering the house Iyem. The woman was wearing all black clothes and approached Iyem who was holding her baby.
“I'm sorry! Here's a little bit of me for your son. Don't be rejected because no matter what happens, this kid needs food and milk. You as a mother must be strong to face reality and use logic. Do not get carried away with feelings especially when hearing the talk of the about. Only you know what you need, not them. After influencing you did they feed your child? Nay! They only knew of inciting but did not know what was needed by this moment. About your husband coming to my house because he himself would be without me forcibly. If I serve food to the citizens including your husband in return for helping me. What your husband got now because of the retaliation for his actions a few months ago without your knowledge. Even other mothers do not know how bad her husband is outside the house. So, I hope you think logically that your child needs to eat and stop hearing the talk of people who say they care but give an egg to your child just never.”
The women there glanced at the cynical lady named Puspa. After handing over an envelope that Iyem thought was thick enough, Puspa immediately left the funeral home. Outside the house, Mr. Jarwo and all the men who had eaten at Puspa's house immediately surrounded the woman as if Puspa was their queen.
While inside, the wives are actually being ignited emotions see their husbands so glorifying Puspa.
“The woman is very arrogant indeed she loves how much, Yem?” ask Jaka's wife.
“Iya, Yemen. Let's see how much he thanks to dare to talk arrogantly like that!”
“Come, Yem! Open it! If he gives a little, tomorrow let us reply.”
“Do not know. But I think more deh,” said the other.
“Alhamdulillah, windfall of orphans!” Iyem said then put the envelope in his skirt pocket.
He did not expect that the woman who was rumored by the villagers turned out this well. Iyem is determined to live life well after this. He even began to think of opening a business after his suffering ended.
Her night…
After praying together at Iyem's house, the residents returned to their homes. While Iyem was busy distributing box cakes to the residents, a mother managed to retrieve the envelope given by Puspa to Iyem. The mothers were the wives of Jaka Mirna. The woman took the box cake from Puspa's hand and returned home with a big smile.
She was already in trouble because her husband was busy taking care of Puspa's house until he did not work. As a result, Mirna was tempted to see the amount of money in the envelope. Mirna went straight into the bathroom when she got home. The woman accidentally does not enter the room to avoid Jaka's suspicion if she locks the door.
Mirna was so happy that she arrived in the bathroom. She pulled out the white envelope inside her skirt. The woman's eyes widened with a gaping mouth when she saw the contents of the envelope were leaves. He spilled the contents of the envelope which turned out to all contain leaves. Mirna's upset not playing.
“Bad brat the Puspa! Surely he deliberately swapped this envelope because he knew it would be stolen.” Mirna muttered then,-
Aaa….
A snake fell from the bathroom ceiling. The black cobra's snake immediately pecked at Mirna's calf then came out of the bathroom. Mirna's body fell on the floor but what happened? Mirna was found by Jaka unconscious in the bathroom.
Jaka was also surprised to see the number of leaves in the bathroom and envelopes. “What's this envelope, Ma?” Mirna fainted unable to answer Jaka's question. The man rushed Mirna to the village healer not far from her home.
While at his house, Puspa laughed heartily when he saw what Mirna was doing. “Basic thief!” it then keeps the water back in the basin.
Late at night, Mudin sat alone in his room. He kept thinking about the name of Larasati mentioned by Sukarni before he died. Mudin so think more like this.
“I have to apologize to Mbak Laras!”
