LUCKY GOLD KNIFE



A loud rumbling sound was heard from a distance by Suminah, Rangkas' mother. He who was cleaning the deer in his bathroom was soon finished his work.


"Isn't that the sound of clapping? Is there a burrow in the village?" Said Suminah a little surprised because for a long time he had never heard the sound of a loud and long mouth. He immediately remembered the events of the past when Rangkas was seven years old. At that moment there was a loud and long sound that indicated there was danger in the village of Tegalsari. But at that time the cause of the ringing sound is because people who patrol at night have caught people who are stealing goats.


At this time Suminah immediately threw away the memory of the past, she immediately worried about her only child who at that time she ordered to go to Tegalsari village to buy kitchen spices.


"I have to get there! I'm afraid my son is the victim of misdirection and is considered a thief by them!" Then Suminah immediately went outside the house and did not forget she took a hunting knife Rangkas who was in her cloth bag Rangkas just in case. Suminah ran away in droves to the village of Tegalsari to find her son who had previously been told to buy kitchen spices. The bright yellow old flashlight that Suminah brought was able to illuminate the direction of her path to the border of the village.


Arriving on the border of Tegalsari gardens and villages, Suminah seemed hesitant and worried. He did not find the entrance to Tegalsari village. His view was blocked by the dense black fog in front of him and the strange fog only covered all parts of the village Tegalsari. While outside the village was not seriously affected by the mysterious fog.


'What is this fog!? why is it only in Tegalsari village?' Suminah was curious. Suminah's heart and mind were still filled with her hesitation to continue her steps, she said, suddenly his right hand that was holding his hunting knife Rangkas made of pure gold was leading into the wisp of mist. Suminah's hands shook and it was as if her hands were pulling her forward.


'What's with my hand? does this strange knife want to lead me away looking for its owner???' The inner voice of Suminah wondered in her heart and it was clear the owner of the knife was her own child. Then he set his steps to follow where the knife leads because he had believed that the knife he carried was a LUCKY GOLDEN KNIFE which was given by his husband to his son.


Rangkas hunting knife was not actually owned by his late father Rangkas named Rusdi. Rusdi finds a golden-eyed knife with a handle made of silver carved by a snake when he hunts at the foot of a peach mountain with his son. At that time Rangkas should not come with his father to hunt because of the fear of a mother to her child will be a danger that will threaten the life of her child in the wilderness. But his father Rangkas allowed Rangkas to come and in the end his mother could only resign and pray for the safety of her son and husband.


Long story short Rangkas and his father almost all day did not find the animals they would hunt. They are looking for mountain goats that often show themselves on the edges of peach mountain cliffs. Not once did they find the animal until they kept looking for more and more up to the top of the peach mountain. Behind a tree, Rangkas saw a male goat that was large enough and contained eating grass thatch. With his excitement Rangkas immediately chased the goat. But Rangkas' father immediately pulled his child's arm so that his child did not make suspicious movements.


But unfortunately the goat has seen the emergence of Rangkas and his father. When the Goat was about to run fast towards the top of the mountain, Father Rangkas immediately pulled his arrow and quickly darted right hit the left thigh of the goat. The big goat was still running up the rock uphill. Although his left thigh was injured and made his run slow, the mountain goat just kept running to his rescue.


Rusdi was afraid his son slipped and fell down and made himself tell his son to wait downstairs. Rangkas did not mind and he was equipped with an ordinary dagger by his father. Rusdi climbed to the top of the peach mountain with great difficulty and in the end he was able to climb to the top of the mountain wide and long enough. Above the top of the peach mountain overgrown with thousands of years old big trees and Rusdi did not care about it. He just wanted to find the goat that he hunted and in the end he found the goat in a state of lifeless.


The male goat died under a fruitful tree. Rusdi glanced at his eyes not because he had obtained his game, but he was shocked to see a rare fruit that had been extinct hundreds of years in the mountains. The rare fruit is peach fruit and the tree looks very old and quite large. Only one tree looks different from the other trees and Rusdi does not think much anymore. He immediately picked up the fallen peaches and still looked fresh and whole. After feeling quite a lot, he immediately took his hunted goat and this time he gasped in shock because he found a silver-handled knife with a snake carved wrapped around the head of the goat.


Rusdi immediately pulled out the knife and was even more surprised after seeing the blade made of pure gold and shiny. There was no blood attached to the blade and strangely there was no blood pouring from the hole of the goat's skull.


Suddenly Rangkas heard a less obvious whisper. But slowly he began to understand that the whisper was heard beside his right.


'This Golden Knife Contains a Curse For The One Who Found It Wet By Blood. If The Knife Does Not Have a Little Blood Attached, Then This Knife Will Be A Talisman For You And Your Family. If This Knife Seems Dirty and Smells Dirty Blood, The Curse of Descendants Will Haunt You And Your Descendants Because You Have Desperately Entered My Royal Palace. If You Know the Answer to Both, Save This Golden Knife And Give It To Your Child After Yourself So That Your Child Who Will Replace Caring For My Heirloom Knife Until One Time The Curse In The Knife Is Lost I Will Take New Back.' The long and quite clear whisper was still ringing by Rusdi until he came home with Rangkas to his house.


The head of the goat in the middle of his hollow and placed above the kitchen door of his house Rangkas was from the goat and deliberately stored there on the proposal of the father Rangkas as a talisman to banish the reinforcements and sicknesses.
