OXEN
Chapter 4's
Tirta still cried bitterly because he remembered his words to Nana while on a raft boat. At that time Tirta told Nana that he hated Nana who had made his day less fortunate. Even then Tirta said that he no longer wanted to play with his sister.
"Look, stop crying. Everything will be fine" said the father trying to calm Tirta.
"But I miss the same sister well, I want to continue playing together sister! I love my sister" said Tirta who was still sobbing.
"You'd better hold your tears, son, you'll clear up all your longings when we've found Nana and brought her home from the snare of the Cow Ghost!" say Father.
Then, Tirta's father glanced at Linda's Father and Mother, "Tell me what we should do first," then stood up courageously, "I'm sure I can save my daughter!"
Mr. Herman asked Tirta's father, "When Mr. Andi wants to start, actually 7 days it can be a very fast time and can also be a long time," then walk closer to Mr. Andi, "all depends on how efficient your efforts are," said Mr. Herman as he touched Tirta's father's shoulder.
"I'm going to start right now, I don't want to be late," clenched his hand, "7 days is the next big time for me!" said Tirta's father.
"Well then, you should first pick up the black orchid flowers that grow on the banks of the river right between the confluence of 2 streams!" said Mr. Rahman Linda's father.
"As far as I know there are no black orchids that grow in the river here, black orchids only exist in Kalimantan, right?" tirta's father asked felt strange and did not believe the words of Mr. Rahman.
"Hmmm, be patient Mr. Andi. Please listen to my explanation," then sit on the sofa and sigh deeply, "to get this black orchid you must do the hard thing!" said Mr. Rahman. While Tirta and Dad and the others focused on listening and waiting for what Mr. Rahman will explain later.
"To be able to take the orchid you must fast mutih first starting from 30 hours before the search!-
"That means you must fast by not consuming everything sweet and everything that comes from living beings. You are only allowed to eat white rice and drink water!-
"This you must do to activate the power of kanuragan inside you in order to pull the orchid," said Mr. Rahman long.
Father and Tirta, both focus on listening to the explanation of Mr. Rahman. Then again Mr. Rahman said, "You are also required to bring a full-black cemani chicken for the conditions of calling the Crenyem Ghost waiting in the River!"
"Crenyhem ghost?" Tirta's father was confused by the ghost's name, "What kind of ghost is that?" ask Dad curious.
"The ghost of Krenyem belongs to the type of Jurig Cai or in Indonesian means Jin Air" said Pak Rahman and then again mentioned, "The creamy ghost had a black cork-like figure but had a human-like upper body, it was very fond of the smell of chicken blood!"-
"The ghost of Krenyem always asks for a collision at every meeting. Give him the cemani chicken and then ask him to show the existence of the orchid!" mr. Rahman Long.
Tirta who was a child was afraid and imagined how terrifying this figure of Krenyem Ghost was. What if the ghost of Krenyem kidnaps her, while Tirta is still a child and cannot possibly fight the supernatural alone.
Seeing his frightened son, the father smiled and tried to calm Tirta's heart and feelings.
"Calm down, son, this business let only you do it yourself! You just pray for a lot of Dad!" father said while rubbing Tirta's head and Tirta hugged the father tightly.
After finishing calming Tirta's heart, Dad asked that Mr. Rahman continue the narrative that may still not all be told. Because indeed Pak Andi aka his father Tirta is a person who is all logical and not so trusting Tahayul. Therefore he felt that he had to know many other supernatural things that he should know that might not have been explained by Mr. Rahman.
"I think that's what you should do, sir," then walk towards Mr. Andi and hold his shoulder from the front, "Patience and pray a lot sir, I'm sure you can get through it all!" said Mr. Rahman encouraged Mr. Andi.
After an explanation from Mr. Rahman, Dad and Tirta decided to go home. Incidentally his mother Tirta named Maryam was at home still suffocated due to shock after hearing news of her daughter drowning in Setu Cikaret lake.
While his father Tirta decided to start his white fasting at this time also until tomorrow Maghrib. He is a father who loves his children very much. Whatever he would do for the safety of his children.
The next day in the afternoon before the adzan maghrib. Tirta's father was already at the meeting of 2 river channels complete with knives and cemani chicken that will be used as offerings to call the Ghosts of Crenyem. The clock has shown at 18.10 WIB, and shortly thereafter the Maghrib Adhan was reverberating. Tirta's father was ready to slaughter the chicken neck cemani after the adzan maghrib was finished. And finally Adhan Maghrib was finished.
Tirta's father took out a knife from the holster attached to his belt, then began to take a position to slaughter while reading the incantation sentence, "Jurig wetan, jurig ngalor, east jurig, jurig kulon, and so on, jurig ti sagala around the world. Special Wabil Nyi Krenyem, (excuse me the author can not write a complete spell because he is afraid something will happen to the reader)!"
While continuing to recite the incantation 7 times in a row and while holding his breath. He slaughtered the cemani chicken, and the blood flowed through the fingers of his father Tirta and finally dripped to the ground. Then Tirta's father shouted,
"Come! Come over! Come over!".
They all roar louder than a lion. The breath was very cold, and the faces along with their shapes were very strange. But it did not thrill Pak Andi's spirit to save his daughter.
"Give me that food!" pinta is one of the astral beings who are a little more close to Pak Andi aka his father Tirta.
"I will only offer this food to anyone who can bring me the black orchid that is in this river!" say Father.
The creature replied, "Basins of stupid humans, where there are such orchids in this river. hahaha!
"Here you are, you are only fooled by the shaman, man is indeed just garbage.It is really inappropriate for you to get the title as the most perfect creature of God. Ahhaha!" said the supernatural creature while laughing with a thunderous voice.
Fortunately, Mr. Rahman had previously warned Mr. Andi that there would be many genies who approached him to ask for offerings, but it was not the Ghost of Krenyem. They were just greedy and hungry coro-class ghosts. Therefore Mr. Andi is not easily fooled by them.
"I won't give you this food just for the one who can bring me the black orchid!" firmly Mr. Andi.
After a few seconds suddenly the ground shook and the river water again churned and choppy like waves in the ocean. Instantly then appeared a huge whirlpool from within the river water.
"Is it the ghost of the Ox or the ghost of Crenyem?" mr. Andi's mind in the heart.
It turns out it was the ghost of Krenyem. He devoured all the ghosts of the coro class that were there without a remnant. Then he asked what Mr. Andi was doing in the river while carrying a cemani chicken that had been slaughtered.
"I'm looking for a black orchid, and I'll give you an offering to anyone who can bring it to me!" said Mr. Andi loudly.
"Hahahaha, from the beginning of creation to having many grandchildren, you are all always the same! Filled with pride and a desire for power!
"Indeed, bringing such an offering will make me submit and follow your request, grandson of Adam? You better go home and don't dream. Ahaha!" long Crenyem Ghost Chant.
Hearing Krenyem Ghost say that, Mr. Andi was fooled by the words of the ghost. But he again realized that this was just a trick from this Krenyem Ghost genie.
"When you shut up, you despicable and arrogant creature?" ask the ghost of Krenyem.
"Well then, if indeed I do not get the orchid here, then I will take this offering to another place. Maybe the waiter somewhere else will want to bring me the black orchid without much compromise," said Mr. Andi tried to negotiate with the Ghosts of Krenyem.
Then Mr. Andi twisted his body and stepped away. But just 5 steps away, the creamy ghost called back to him.
"Wait a minute, I still seem hungry. I think it's okay if I accept your offering" said Nyi Krenyem accept Mr. Andi's request.
"Haha, should you be the base of a senseless accursed creature, so that it is easily fooled by humans!" andi's gun in his heart.
"If so quickly bring me the black orchid now, then I will give you this cemani chicken after you bring me the black orchid I mean!" mr. Andi's orders.
"Wait a minute, not as young as Ferguso!" said the crinkly ghost and shook his head.
"What else do you want?" ask Mr. Andi.
"At least give me a piece first to taste the head of the cemani chicken, think of it as an advance on my services. Anyway to pull it out I need a lot of energy!
"And the cemani chicken can give me a lot of energy," said the creamy ghost while approaching the chicken cemani still held by Pak Andi.
Now Mr. Andi so know that what causes kreyem ghost more powerful than the one that appeared at the beginning is possible because there used to be many people who give offerings to the ghost of the creney. Then Mr. Andi cut the chicken's neck and threw it right into the mouth of a crisp ghost that was wide open and visible teeth sharp like shark teeth. Soon, the creamy ghost went to pick up the black orchid and bring it to Mr. Andi.
Then in just 10 minutes the ghost came back and brought the black orchid to Pak Andi. At first Mr. Andi questioned the truth and authenticity of the orchid. Then the crenyem ghost says that he belongs to the category of jinn among the upper class who abstain from lying if they have promised. Because if they have promised but lied, then their strength will decrease every time they break the promise. Not only that, but also the creamy ghost guarantees that Pak Andi can come out and there will be no genies who follow and disturb him until home.
After that Mr. Andi threw all the cemani chicken that had been slaughtered to the Ghost Krenyem. And then Mr. Andi left the river and returned to Mr. Rahman's house to report his success.
