OXEN

Chapter 9's

"Your next task is to take the cobra mustika in the snake kingdom in the forest near the lake setu cikaret!-

"To get it is a difficult thing!", try standing up, "Maybe one of you will lose your life!" said Mr. Rahman.

"You better think about the consequences, I think you should stop here!" continued Mr. Rahman.

#########

The words of Mr. Rahman were very serious. Father, Mamah and Tirta as well as Mother Maya and Linda were speechless. They do not understand what is meant by Mr. Rahman's words about the consequences that must be accepted if Pak Andi's family is still adamant about picking up Nana.

"What do you mean, Rahman? Why do you suddenly become pessimistic like this, wasn't it from the beginning that you were so eager to help us sir?" ask Dad curious.

"Sorry Mr. Andi. Honestly the truth from the beginning I wasn't sure you'd make it, that ghost ox is so powerful sir!-

"But since you guys look so excited, so I'm trying to help you sir, I guided you to be able to deal with the ghost ox, but!-

"When I see how much love you have, I feel so sinful that it has plunged you into a false belief!" said Mr. Rahman Long.

"What do you mean sir? I don't understand any of that more? Clarify!" said Mr. Andi.

"Honestly Mr. Andi, before you, there was a father who did this earlier than you! And he had success, but much to the cost of the lives of those he loved!" said Mr. Rahman.

"What's the problem with you, sir? Isn't that just a myth of the past?", Father approached Mr. Rahman, "I believe only God can take the life of man sir!" say Father.

"Actually it's not just a myth of Andi sir! But that's the truth, I'm the witness!" said Mr. Rahman while looking down.

"What is Rahman?" ask the father, while others can only focus on listening to the conversation between Mr. Rahman and Pak Andi his father Tirta.

"I am the son of the man who was told that sir! My father had lost many of the people he loved only to save me who was kidnapped by a cow ghost 35 years ago!" said Mr. Rahman.

Surprisingly, it turns out that the story of the ghost of an ox who once kidnapped a small child is true. And the one who was kidnapped was Mr. Rahman as a child.

At first his father little Pak Rahman did not want to invite him because it was forbidden by his wife. But because little Rahman continued to cry and whine, he was finally allowed to come along.

At first everything was normal and fine. The fish that is found is very much. This made his father Pak Rahman very happy. But arriving in the afternoon before Maghrib, the clouds turned cloudy. His father, little Pak Rahman, immediately rushed to pedal the boat raft to pull over and go home. However, before getting to the edge of the lake, suddenly someone headed the boat from the bottom of the lake to cause the boat to capsize and little Pak Rahman disappeared like swallowed by the lake. His father Pak Rahman who had difficulty finding little Pak Rahman, asked for help from local residents, but he did not find little Pak Rahman either alive or dead.

Little Rahman who was drowning was entering a dark hallway. He saw that his whole body was being held firmly by the hands of a giant monster that had horns like a buffalo but was hairy like a wolf. He could actually see his father, but no one seemed to see him and hear his voice.

When trapped in the magical world, little Mr. Rahman can see all the activities carried out by his father to be able to save himself. From starting to fight with the creamy ghosts to get black orchids, fighting with the ghost of kolong wewe to almost sacrificing his mother little Pak Rahman, who was, then beat the Black Snake Ghost to take the snake mustika which resulted in his mother little Pak Rahman killed by falling from a high tree in a head position below. Then his father little Pak Rahman can enter the supernatural world and go to the ghost palace of Lembu to bring the little Pak Rahman escape.

Although Mr. Rahman and his father were happy to meet again. But the disaster has inflicted a deep wound because it has claimed the life of his mother little Pak Rahman. During his life, little Mr. Rahman did not have the heart to see his father who was stressed and often confined himself. The peak was after 7 years later, little Mr. Rahman found his father dead by hanging himself in a tree near the lake setu cikaret. Mr. Rahman's life is getting messy, finally he decided to migrate to work in the capital and forget his dark past.

Then only 24 years later he returned to his native place in Cikaret with his new family. Now the place became crowded and its civilization changed. Lake setu cikaret which was once haunted, is now a fun tourist spot for people. At least it does not make Mr. Rahman think back to his past.

But his past came back to light when he got word from his daughter that there was a girl who drowned in the lake like a cigarette, but not found her body either alive or dead. Because when his daughter was little, Mr. Rahman often told rumors about the ghost of the Ox to his daughter named Linda. The goal is that his daughter never dared to play near the lake. But now he got the news that the ghost of Lembu back to eat the victims.

Mr. Rahman had told Pak Andi his father Tirta to let his daughter named Nana. But because he saw Mr. Andi, his wife and his Son was very lost, so Mr. Rahman did not have the heart to say what he really wanted to say. Be Mr. Rahman lead them to more complicated problems.

The scene moves back in the present, where Mr. Rahman has finished telling me about his past that once kidnapped the ghost of an ox.

"If I hadn't told you from the beginning that your daughter could still be helped before 7 days, surely you would have resigned but would always be overwhelmed with sadness,"-

"Then I try to tell you how to enter the magical world. Then you feel the difficulty when carrying it out, but apparently you are not desperate, instead you are getting bolder and more confident! I'm getting more guilty!" said Mr. Rahman.

"No, Mr. Rahman, what happened to your family in the past is not your fault. It's all been Mr. Rahman's fate!" said dad tried to comfort Mr. Rahman.

"No Mr Andi! If only I hadn't been forced to go, maybe my dad wouldn't have kept fishing until late into the night and it wouldn't have happened!" said Mr. Rahman who then returned to take the knife that fell to the floor.

"Hey Mr Rahman what do you want to do? Do not do anything in a troubled state of heart!" said Dad trying to calm the atmosphere that began to runyam.

I don't know what Mr. Rahman wants to do now. He still took the knife, now he even looked at the knife as he wrapped it in front of his own face.
