SEBERANG VILLAGE
Chapter 17 - The Last Tumbler
The next day, shocking news happened and once again at Bu Darmi's house. This time it was Bu Darmi who was troubled, the woman was found with a terrible condition. Bu Darmi's entire body gave off a foul odor due to the wound that out of nowhere released pus. So disgusting, even all his family isolated Bu Darmi to the warehouse because it could not stand the smell.
Residents began to talk about what happened, it turns out that yesterday when Dekka was in a dream with the big figure, residents were already crowded in the house of Bu Darmi. He cried out for forgiveness to whom, muttering the word that he would pay the price for what he had done. And as the black cloth was burned by Bertan to its peak, Bu Darmi suddenly cried out in pain with a faint shout saying that the impact left all the citizens in shock.
At that time all residents immediately dispersed, feeling frightened when Bu Darmi was getting more loyal, plus residents began to suspect when Bu Darmi muttered the word tumbal. And the next day when the residents want to ask for answers to questions that roam their minds, Bu Darmi is already in such a condition. Not only smell and pus, the wound on Bu Darmi's body even made the woman unable to move just asleep in bed. Both eyeballs Bu Drami membola staring blankly up, can only be edited and moved left right. His mouth was gaping, making drooling droplets continue to wet the carpet of his sleeping base.
Bertan and Dekka who heard the news were shocked not to play made. It turns out that really Bu Darmi the culprit, evident from the cloth was burned Bu Darmi suffered a disaster. Dekka and Bertan came closer there, listening to the explanation that is still demanded from the family of Bu Darmi at that time. Kek Retno was also there, in the front row preparing to listen to everything that the brother of Bu Darmi told me.
"I'm sorry to all the people for making a noise last night and getting us in trouble. My brother Darmi, perform the ritual of exorcism. It's all for our wealth."
A few months earlier, Ms. Darmi had met a shaman in the village next door asking for help in performing the ritual. The shaman agreed, with the terms of payment, the shaman also explained to Bu Darmi some other requirements. He must stop hanging out with the surrounding residents, lest any citizens know about the existence of the figure he will give. Bu Darmi agreed, that's why he withdrew from the surrounding residents later, forbidding also his children to hang out with his friends. If asked who knows, then the answer is only his brother who is now telling a story.
The second condition is that Bu Darmi must subvert people with blood relations with him for five times before the agreement requires the collision of local residents. Back again Darmi ma'am undertakes, losing five family members is not a problem for him.
All went well, until then Dekka came and while passing in front of Bu Darmi's house the figure was accidentally seen. Bu Darmi is visited in his dream, saying that Dekka must be removed and when the figure wants to enter Dekka's house he cannot. So he just waited for the two young men to come home to be warned.
Unexpectedly, the next day Miss Darmi on the orders of the big figure invited dekka and Bertan to the house. The box was deliberately placed there, and according to the plan the two young men brought the black cloth home, making it easier for the figure's access to hurt them. That's why the figure managed to take Dekka's soul away from there. Taking him into his realm was intent on hurting the young man, yet he was wrongly guessed.
Before Dekka, there was also a young man who had seen the figure when Bu Darmi went to the city. The young man immediately approached Bu Darmi, warning him without knowing that he was the one who had to be careful. Because a moment later the young man had an accident, making the young man die on the spot. That incident Bu Darmi told his brother, and the secret was finally stored between the two.
"Wait, I didn't say no one knows. Why do you know that? Did you also conspire with them to perform the pranks?' ask one of the residents who directly in the sahuti of other residents. Rumblings began to occur, residents who are dominated by emotions do not even let the speaker explain first.
"Shut up, let him explain." Kek Retno mediates, making the citizens silent even though half of them are bullied. Do not accept because they are not satisfied to judge the brother of Bu darmi.
"This is the last requirement, one family member should avoid this. And Darmi chose me."
Right after the sentence was spoken, a loud shout from the warehouse diverted attention. Soon the citizens flocked to come there without orders. Dekka and Bertan also followed behind him, Until there, Bu Darmi's brother shouted hysterically yelling his brother's name. The children of Bu Darmi also shouted hysterically seeing their mother in a corner of the room with a body full of blood.
A moment later, the originally limp Bu Darmi turned tense, his eyes glaring to the cedar revealing the whites of his eyes, looking so grim. His hands strangled his own neck, and all the citizens who came just looked on without any intention of helping. Even from the family of Bu Darmi do the same thing, they feel they no longer have empathy for Bu Darmi.
What people see and what Dekka, Bertan and Kek Retno see are different things. If the others saw Bu Darmi strangling his own neck, then they saw that huge figure who was strangling Bu Darmi with one hand. Even one more hand shook Bu Darmi's skin making new wounds on the woman's body.
The condition gets more uncontrollable when Bu Darmi's body floats up and then is thrown down. The residents scattered, some residents swore at Bu Darmi with harsh words. While the family of Bu Darmi and the other three are still there. Until finally Bu Darmi crawled closer to his family moaning for help with his hands full of pus raised.
Those who were left shuddered in horror, and finally the last breath of Bu Darmi was blown away as Dekka and Bertan saw with their own eyes how the huge figure was piercing Bu Darmi's body. The two held their breaths, Kek Retno who also saw it closed while shaking her head. The last victim has been found, and it's Bu Darmi himself. He who killed the previous victim must eventually die because of the actions he also did himself.
"Congratulations, your sister made this village back in threat."
