SEBERANG VILLAGE
Chapter 14 - The Story of Mundo
The next day, a funeral procession was carried out at Bu Darmi's house. It's true what Dekka said last night, Darmilah's youngest son died. Bertan recalled, it seemed like he had seen the child sometime he did not remember.
"Are you the same guy as him?" ask Bertan at last to Tara. Tara, Lingga and Demas the three companions compactly nodded in response. Ah looks like Bertan remembers now, the little boy was a quiet boy who used to play with three other children. It's worth Bertan feel familiar, it turns out that's the reason. But in the last few weeks he rarely saw the child, even less often than before.
After the funeral, the residents began to return to their homes. Dekka flocked three other children to the house, hoping to get free snacks if they wanted to visit. All three of course will not refuse, they are still young children who really like snacks.
The steamed boku that I just made yesterday for her Dekka served to the three little ones, accompanied by the milk box they bought. The three greedily ate, while occasionally joking around with the two adults before them. Dekka and Bertan also laughed out loud, the jokes of children are indeed the most able to entertain those who miss childhood. Moreover, they both can not spend childhood like most children before, Dekka with its advantages and also Bertan with the restraints of his grandmother.
"Eh, by the way, you want to know, you know why Miss Darmi's child?" ask Dekka. He did not remember the name of the child, he had been told by Lingga before. Demas nodded, while the other two looked at Demas as if he was the one who knew the most about it. Dekka nodded, confirming his sitting position to prepare to listen.
"He said Mundo was sick" he answered briefly. Bertan patted his forehead softly, gosh why he feels fooled by Demas now. If about that, Bertan also knew, even the entire Seberang Village also knew that Mundo was sick. But the point is what pain and when, not the short answer like that he wanted. While Dekka just laughs awkwardly while breaking his nape that does not itch.
"is Demas, really the story. It's the same cake as milk, even the same as Dekka." Angry phallus spoke, while Demas laughed innocently while swallowing the last sponge in his mouth. Sipping the milk first so as not to drag, he finally began to explain. What he does not know is true or not clear is from the story of the mother who told the father at that time.
"If Demas is heard from the mother's story, Mundo is in a strange pain. It has been brought to the midwife tetep not healed, even though it has been back and forth but still only. Continuously said mother mah, she may be useful, actually Demas not too understand but Demas knows it is black magic. You said mom, when she was the same father, Demas' skin was wrinkled like an old man, kept skinny too."
"Over yesterday she said before she died she was in a trance" Tara added. The three looked at each other, then shuddered with pain just like imagining how Mundo had a trance with the thin dry body. Dekka rounded his mouth, nodding in understanding in response.
"Eh wait! He said he died in the river? Why is it even sick?" asked Bertan who had just remembered what he had heard earlier. After all, Mundo's ghost looks like someone drowning. But why did the news he got from them was different, very far away even from the state of Mundo.
"Oh, if it's the Linga who knows the story." Tara passes on to Tara who is still drinking her milk. Iru's son with a henchman nodded, as if it had been or would be his turn to tell the story of Mundo's death that he knew. The milk box that has been used up is put back, on the lap of his lips slowly with his hands because there is still a sticky feeling.
This time it was clear, the story had already been told. The three then went home, and two other men allowed it. The story is connected, sick, witchcraft and also trance is not it clear the answer if someone does something that is not to the family of Bu Darmi? Why does the owner of the house seem unaware? Even after all the strangeness that was happening around him.
"Well, no Ber? Why is Miss Darmi still unconscious?" tanya Dekka is called Bertan. Strange indeed, because normally there must be suspicion from the owner of the house about the incident.
"Gue was also astonished by De, honestly strangely the family of Bu Darmi was two months ago before lo dateng. There are many irregularities in fact, ranging from those who rarely socialize, there are members who are sick and even die. But no one can ever enter the logic of why, even though the villagers have suspected something strange. Sempet tuh he diatengin all citizens, invited to meet people pinter let me run. He did not even believe the situation he said, so until now ordinary villagers just."
Dekka nodded, there was still an awkwardness in his brain. However, people do not believe, if they have shown such an oddity normally they will obey. Concerning the demons with how later, the turpentine is the safety and well-being of their families. But Bu Darmi is different, even if it was from a long time ago there are still other victims that mean that Dekka does not know.
"That means there were other victims before them?"
"Yes, the son of fair Ms. Darmi died of illness as well. He said it was similar to Mundo, but I was not too aware of how it really was. You see, it's the first victim, so I don't think it's a mystical thing. Anyway before there are lo here I can not squirm them, let alone know that they have a lot around the village."
"Ber, you never think? This weirdness is very awkward, awkward which is really awkward in my opinion. If the culprit is not from an outsider, it must be a courtier. Especially if the family of other money no one suspected, could be right? Oddly enough, Miss Darmi never once smiled at me. Always cynical as if I made a mistake with him." Dekka.
"That means you did Bu Darmi?" ask Bertan.
"I still can't be sure, but Mundo must know how the real thing is."
