Patok Tumbal Village

CHAPTER 7 HEADLESS BODY

We all set off for the center of the village, after waiting for the Beginning to get ready for long enough, beating the old woman to dress up. We asked the location of Mr. Suharjo's house to the residents we met, and it turned out that Mr. Suharjo's house was not far from Mr. Kades' house.

We were a little lucky, because at the house of Mr. Suharjo there was also Pak Bakri who was chatting on the porch of the house. We no longer need to find his home.

"Excuse me sir" said Alia.

"Ah, yes son. Come here sit down" Reply Mr. Suharjo smiled kindly.

"Yes, thank you" said Jamal.

"Sonoh Wal, say thank you" Bisik Budi encouraged Early.

"Yes, this is a cave to thank you too." Reply Early while sitting next to Pak Bakrivv.

"How are you?, who knows if there are injuries, let the father's wife who is medicinein" asked the kindly Mr. Suharjo to Awal.

"I'm fine sir. This is Mr. Suharjo, Mr. Bakri, I want to thank you so much for helping me last night. And I'm sorry sir for taking this too." Say Early thank you.

"Yes, it's hard to think about. It is an obligation to help fellow humans" Reply Pak Bakri.

"Thank you sir, then we have permission to leave first" Saut Ulan.

"Ko in such a hurry, ngeteh used to be sullen." Take Mr. Suharjo. "Mom..mom.., please make tea for the purpose of the mother" Call Mr. Suharjo to ask his wife for help.

"Effort to bother Sir, we all want to go straight to the top of the mountain before Asan Luhur" Denied Dirga well.

"Owh, yaudah then wait a minute.mom.." Call Mr. Suharjo.

"Yes Sir" replied Bu Susi, the wife of Mr. Suharjo.

"It's mom, these kids want to get to the top. I thought I was going to the top looking for mushrooms, too." Ask Mr. Suharjo to his wife.

"Ah yes too. Then can I come with my son?" Ask Susi to us.

"That's a lot ma'am, because we also know the path to the top" replied Fitri.

"Thank you. If that's why I'm ready first well" replied Ms. Susi.

After Susi finished getting ready, we all went to the top, with Susi as a guide. The road to the top is a little more difficult. Along the way, we helped Ms. Susi to collect the fungus that grew on the trunk of an old tree.

Being busy helping Susi, they finally did not realize that they had reached the top of the mountain.

"Ahhh, when will we get there anyway" Ulan complained.

"Udah to ko, try to pay attention first carefully" said Mother Susi.

We got up and looked around us. The beautiful scenery from the top of the mountain is very refreshing to the eye, the wind blowing blowing dry leaves, the chirping of birds is heard from all directions. The village of Turi looks very small from up here, even smaller than a stone fist.

"It's my first time going up a mountain, I didn't think the view at the top of the mountain was this pretty." Puji Fitri's.

"Truly, the view from up here turned out to be three times more beautiful than the scenery we see in Turi Village." Reply Alia.

"Yes right?. This beauty is obtained thanks to the protective Spirit residing on the top of this mountain" said Bu Susi praised the trust of the community in Turi Village.

"It turns out true, in every village must have their own beliefs" whispered Dirga to Awal.

After being quite satisfied to see the view on the top of the mountain, all finally decided to rest, as well as eating lunch that we brought from the inn earlier. Budi who had wanted to sit on a long stone beside a water guava tree, suddenly reprimanded by Buk Susi.

Susi said that the stone is a place where the protective spirit lives, and not just anyone who can occupy it. If the wrong person suddenly occupied the stone, then the villagers would get unlucky fate.

And that bad luck can only be eliminated by plucking blood from the white horned deer, which is already very step to be found in this place. If there were no white horn deer, the villagers would have to subvert the most beautiful woman in their village.

Bu Susi's rebuke immediately made Budi break out in a cold sweat, because it almost took the life of an innocent person, if Bu Susi's words were true.

"Okay, you should be even more careful." Dirga warned.

"Well, any cave knows that the place was occupied!" Reply to Budi's annoyance.

"Udah ah's. Ntar fight again, gamalu what seen Bu Susi the same Fitri" Tegur Ulan.

"Team.teng..teng..te..te..te..te.." The voice of the message is very much in Jamal's mobile phone.

"The voice of the voice on your phone is very noisy." Upset Ulan heard a message from Jamal's cell phone.

"Sabar uh, this is the volume of gabisa cave mobile phone down. Most of the messages, my phone became a severe lag" replied Jamal.

"What message does it say, can it be so crowded?" Ask Alia.

"What I see anyway, this is a comment from a post about pregnant women that we help." Answer Jamal.

"Well, are there a lot of people who want to help that mother?" Tanya Alia was happy.

"Wait for Alia, I don't think the message is about donations or help" Jamal replied with a confused expression.

"Ha?, meaning. What kind of comments?" Ask Dirga.

Everyone gathered except Susi, waiting for the messages to stop. Once the message had stopped, we began to read some comments that contained words of anxiety, and horror.

Everyone who saw the post only discussed the head issue of the pregnant woman, as well as our current circumstances. We were confused too, quickly looked at the photos, as well as some videos that had been posted to social media.

Grinding and fear, that's how we feel right now. The seven of us were so distrustful of what we saw. A headless pregnant woman's body is clearly emblazoned in the photos and videos we post. It was very different from the women we met before. The woman was whole without the slightest injury, how could it now be like this.

"Nauzubillah, this is not true. The feeling of the woman we met had a head" Alia said in shock, hugging the frightened Ulan after seeing the posts.

Without realizing it, from behind Bu Susi put on an anxious face, as if afraid of something.

"So what we helped before was the devil?. It feels kind of weird, it doesn't make sense that there are people who live in places like that, alone again." He said he did not expect, what we experienced before.

"Udahlah guys, slowly we missed the invitation. We should be thankful anyway, because until now everything is still fine." Jamal's saut calms everything down.

Slowly we tried to forget what we had just seen, except that the Beginning was now frozen, in shock.

"Guys helpin cave nenangin Early. I think he has now forgotten how to breathe" Ulan said while shaking his body.

"Nih son. Gender doang the guy, mental to the girl" said Dirga did not end his mind.

A few minutes later, Awal was not frozen anymore, but still did not say a word. Seeing her condition like that, we as good friends finally decided to take her somewhere, which would probably make her back as active as before.
