Patok Tumbal Village
CHAPTER 19 THE MYSTERIOUS BOOK
We finally decided to forget it, because what has happened does not have to keep us worrying. Although Jamal has informed the cause of Dirga's disappearance, but there is still little that disturbs Alia's mind.
Alia felt that something had happened that the three of them did not want to talk about, it could be seen clearly from the look on the faces of the three of them. Finally, Alia tried to ask Jamal, because she could not stand the curiosity that made her a little nervous.
At first, Jamal said that nothing happened that made them feel disturbed, as well as Dirga and Budi's answer after Alia asked them.
But the answers of the three of them did not make Alia believe, and instead made Alia more curious.
Time passed, until the clock showed at 22:04 p.m. Everyone decided to go back to their rooms, but before that, of course we first went to brush our teeth.
As everyone headed towards the kitchen, Alia reached Jamal's hand and called out his name. Jamal stopped and asked Alia why she called him.
"What's Alia?" Jamal asked in confusion.
"Sorry before, but I want you to be honest about what has really happened to you. Why do I feel that you guys are hiding something" Alia replied suspiciously.
"That again?, didn't I tell you that ti-" Reply Jamal.
"What's wrong?, you can lie to others, but not to me!" Gertak Alia interrupted Jamal's speech. "I'm sorry for being a little kepo, but I just want you guys to tell us all a lot of stories" Alia said in an apology.
"Y-yes, you don't have to apologize" Jamal replied in shock. "I'll tell you, but don't tell the others." Speak the Times while giving conditions to Alia.
"Eum...." Mumbled Alia while thinking. "All right, I promise. But you have to tell me the truth" Alia agreed.
After agreeing with each other, Jamal finally told Alia about what they had experienced some time ago. Jamal tells the story of the residents who suddenly disappeared, until the village of Turi which suddenly turned into a terrible place.
Jamal, Budi, and Dirga feel that there is something strange about the village of Turi. The three of them concluded that there might be a reason for the hospitality of the villagers to all of them.
What they experienced, little to do with what Awal had experienced, the same smell, the same atmosphere. It did make little sense that back then they had been dragged into another realm. But there is something that is disturbing to the events they are experiencing.
Jamal was also briefly thought of by Kaili's remark earlier, who requested that they all rush away from this village. And also the problem of the collision that was spoken by Susi ma'am the other day.
Ali who heard Jamal's story was a little difficult to believe, but because Jamal told everything with a serious look, Alia finally thought that the only way to know all the stories of Jamal, Jamal, is by reading the book that he took secretly from the house of Bu Ningsih.
When Alia wanted to tell Jamal about the book she took, suddenly Ulan came from the kitchen towards Alia and Jamal was talking. As a result, Alia decided to tell Jamal when she had finished reading the book alone.
Ulan smiled seductively towards Alia and Jamal. Ulan thought they were both talking about something romantic, or mutual PDKT.
"Cieeee, there is another PDKT" Tempta Ulan.
"E-engga ko, we're just talking about the traditional ceremony tomorrow" Saut Jamal dodged.
"Oh Jamal, gaperlu. Relax, I fully support you both" Reply Ulan still continues to tease the two of them.
"Support what?, don't we both have it wrong?" Alia asked with her innocent face.
"Oh Alia....., how are you?." Ulan answered while shaking his head. "You are still insensitive well, pity Jamal knows" Ulan said.
"Ouch....Jamal darling." Ulan complains while holding Jamal's shoulder. "Udah gas ajah, than you in the first place the same beginning to reveal your feelings to my bestie" whispered Ulan teasing.
"Don't joke around" Jamal answered, releasing Ulan's hand from his shoulder.
"Sad. Not you, not Alia, equally make people greg doang!" Umar pulled Alia's hand towards the room.
Alia wanted to release her hand from Ulan, but Alia felt bad. So he let Ulan take him away from Jamal. Jamal just kept his confusion in the corner, and then headed back inside to brush his teeth.
"Emmm Ulan" Call Alia.
"Em" answered Ulan.
"Look, I'm going to go to the toilet first" Honestly Alia.
"Owh yaudah, here I am, I happen to want to take a drink too" Reply Ulan still pulled Alia's arm.
After returning from the inside along with Ulan and Jamal, Alia went straight into the room with Ulan. In the room, Fitri looks asleep on the mattress.
Ulan laid his body beside Fitri, and began to close his eyes. Alia also lay down next to Ulan, but only pretended to be asleep. Alia waited for Ulan to completely lose consciousness, because she intended to read the book she had taken secretly from the house of Ningsih.
A few minutes later, Alia, feeling that Ulan had fallen asleep, slowly climbed down the bed, and stepped slowly towards the place where her bag was located close to the suitcase.
Alia reached for the bag, and opened it slowly so as not to make a sound. He took out the book, and looked at it for a little while. He was still a little worried because of the book he had picked up without Bu Ningsih's knowledge.
After thinking too hard, he finally decided to throw his doubts, and read the book. The contents of the diary he read, made him a little shocked in disbelief. It turned out that the book belonged to the second child of Bu Ningsih who had long died due to the incident that Bu Ningsih told him the other day while in the river.
But it turned out, what was written in the book, was a very different story from the story uttered by Bu Ningsih.
Little by little everything began to clear and connect with each other. The reason why this village is so closed off from the outside world, and the story of the death of the first daughter Goddess Bu Ningsih, are all told clearly in the book.
Apparently, Bu Ningsih's story is just a made-up story.
the story in the book
The first page is a story created by Bu Ningsih.
Dewi and Maria are the twins of a married couple, namely Hartono's father, and Ningsih's mother. The marriage of Hartono and Ningsih is a marriage of different religions based on mutual love, Hartono who was born Muslim, and Ningsih Hindu.
They had twins at the age of two. Their family is a harmonious family, there are no problems at all in their household. But since the birth of their twin daughters, Ningsih and Hartono have often been at odds.
Ningsih wants his two children to embrace his religious teachings, as well as Hartono. At the age of 7 years, Dewi and Maria finally decided to join the teachings of Islam along with Father. Ningsih initially did not accept, but over time he also understood the decision of his two children, and returned to living a harmonious life as before.
The other page is a page filled by the second child or Mary. All the stories are stories that contain all the truth of the village and the disappearance of his brother and father.
