Chapter 5's



Mr. Andi has returned to Mr. Rahman's house to report his success in getting black orchids that are a condition for performing the ritual of rescuing his son. Pak Andi looks very happy when telling, as well as his son named Tirta also happy to hear the success of his father in performing his first task. But that is only the first task, after this there will be more tasks that must be done by them.


"Wow, it seems that you are quite great too Mr. Andi," giving a thumbs up, you managed to get the orchid without any trouble!" praise Mr. Rahman while putting a glass filled with water on the guest table.


"It is quite easy to fool a supernatural being not created by God in a state of reason" and then sit and cross his legs, "I have absolutely no trouble getting it" father said while sipping water provided by Mr. Rahman at the guest table.


"Badahat to remove black orchid is needed a very large kanuragan" said Mr. Rahman while taking a black plastic bag containing black orchid.


"Oh who said that I pulled it out sir?" back sipping the water, "I did not pull it, but I asked the ghost of Krenyem to bring the black orchid for me, so I do not need to be tired of plucking it myself" said Father.


With a curious face Mr. Rahman again asked, "What do you mean Mr. Andi?"


"I asked the Ghost of Crenyem to pluck the orchid and bring it for me, and in return I gave the chicken to him!" father said while laughing.


"Excellent, you can negotiate with the ghost of Krenyem.you are indeed amazing sir!-


"While according to history, there has never been a single human who could rule the Jinn besides the Prophet, but you can rule the chrysanthemum ghost in exchange for one cemani chicken, that's great sir!" praise Mr. Rahman to Tirta's father.


Hearing the conversation between his father and Mr. Rahman, Tirta saw that his father was a brave and intelligent figure. This made Tirta more loving to his father, because in addition to never being angry, apparently his father was also a brave man.


"But you don't feel satisfied, Mr. Andi! There's still something else you need to get sir!" said Mr. Rahman.


"What else should I get, sir?" Ask Tirta's Dad.


"You must take the hair from the Ghost Kolong Wewe, it doesn't need much, it only needs one strand of it sir!" said Mr. Rahman.


Hearing the words from Mr. Rahman, suddenly made Dad and Tirta widened his eyes in surprise. How could he possibly take a strand of hair from the Ghost of Kolong Wewe, considering that the Ghost of Kolong Wewe was notoriously evil and sinister. But Tirta's father tried to remain calm and asked again the meaning of Pak Rahman's words.


"Ram, ram, wewe sack of hair," Dad seemed nervous, "How can I take a sack of hair? That must be a rampage!


"That's a very complicated thing. I don't have a strategy for that!" said Dad's a pessimist.


Hearing Mr. Andi's pessimistic speech made Mr. Rahman laugh. Seen from the movement of his shoulders that vibrated up and down signifies that Mr. Rahman was laughing.


"Are you going to give up until here Mr. Andi? Didn't you guys love Nana very much and want her to come home?" ask Mr. Rahman.


For a moment Dad and Tirta were silent. They do not have a brilliant idea to be able to get the hair wewe it easily. Moreover, it is said, the ghost of the wewe kolong has a very scary and disgusting appearance.


But Mr. Andi who remembered his beloved daughter Nana and he looked towards his beloved son, Tirta. He had sworn to his son that he would do anything to bring Nana home to regroup with him. Suddenly the daydreams of Mr. Andi was scattered by the voice of Mr. Rahman.


"Sir Andi, why are you silent?" ask Mr. Rahman.


"Wait a minute sir, let me explain first! This task will never work if you do it!" said Mr. Rahman.


"Ma, what did Mr Rahman mean?!" ask Mr. Andi astonished.


"Polong wewe is a ghost who likes children. In other words, this task can only be carried out by a child!


"Because only in small children are not interested, they are female genies who like children. So all that can lure them out to meet is your son sir!" said Mr. Rahman.


"What, so in other words I should entrust this task to Tirta my son?", twisting his forehead, "Is there no other way sir?" said Mr. Andi.


Mr. Rahman shook his head as a sign that there was no other alternative way to get hair but to entrust this task to Tirta.


Mr. Andi sighed again, this time he was really in a difficult position.


"Okay sir, then I and Tirta will go home first to prepare everything my son needs. After that I'll come back here again, maybe an hour later!" said Mr. Andi who was then answered by Mr. Rahman with a nod.


Pak Andi and his son Tirta came home on a motorcycle. Arriving at home they prepare everything that might be useful later. Father did not forget to take a bath because his hands still smell the smell of blood from chicken cemani. When they were ready, the two talked to each other before leaving.


"Tirta whether you are ready, because there is no other way," said Mr. Andi.


"If that's the only way, I'm ready, Dad! I don't want to lose to you, I want Nana to come home!


"Trust me, I will surely succeed just like you did," he gave his thumbs up and said, "all this is for Nana's sake!" tirta said with a smile.


Hearing the words of his son who was so brave, made Pak Andi no longer hesitate with his son. Soon after that both of them were going out to return to Pak Rahman's house on a motorcycle. But suddenly their steps were stopped by the voice of Maryam's mother, his wife Pak Andi and her mother Tirta. Apparently her mother is healthy again.


"Wait first! I am Nana's mother. I conceived and took care of her!-


"So I'm the one who lost the most, I have to go!" said Maryam's mother.


"But, Mah! You are still not," said Mr. Andi stopped because his wife showed a craggy expression.


"You can't forbid me!" mother Maryam's Order.


Mr. Andi knows very well that his wife is very stubborn. He can never stop if he has the desire. Even though he was sick, he would still insist on coming along.


"Ahh of course not mom. All right, let's go together now" said Mr. Andi, then Maryam's mother also threw a smile omen happy. Finally the three of them went together, to return to the residence of Mr. Rahman.
