SUKMA: The Deal With the Devil

The suffering has not ended

Towards the way home, Sukma and Atikah stopped by first at the juice seller's shop. Atikah was really annoyed with his sister's inconsistent attitude. Unceasingly the girl grumbled at the youngest who suddenly shrunk his guts when he saw a woman their mother's age was overwhelmed to feed a small child.

After their order came, Atikah immediately sipped the orange juice in her hand. The sweet and cold sour taste can relieve his irritation little by little. As for Sukma who had just been silent by his brother, finally began to dare to open the conversation.

"Tea, those mothers are so sorry, yeah. His son works, his grandson is entrusted to him. If later his grandson ran to the highway continue not abominable, later must be his grandmother who was wronged. Mom is the same age as our mom. His strength has been reduced because it is eaten by age," said Sukma while staring nanar forward. His order avocado juice has still not been shredded.

"Bodo very, Dek! Teteh mah pretended not to be horrified. What are the words too, later a bit late afternoon. If we go later, surely will meet the same gents nyebelin. You see grandma chasing her granddaughter to eat even chirping. Know this mah, Teteh mending look at photos A Albi aja," Atikah cerocos, then sip the juice.

"Euh ... It is difficult, yes, if the same compromise people who are kasmaran mah. Dedek said, Teteh do not want to fall in love with A Albi," grumbled Sukma, pausing to look at her brother.

"Well, what else? Tea drops really like A Albi since meeting again at home. At school, no one was like him. Udah handsome, tall, stocky, his id was like a Prince Arab. Well, Teteh mah was very impressed with the goodlooking guy," said Atikah with sparkling eyes imagining Albi's face and continued the journey home.

"Ah, done. I'll talk to her Albi. Now we have to focus on keeping Father alive. Dedek was afraid, if you later cough up blood again," Sukma reminded.

"If later Dedek see again his dedemit, rush again he came out. Keep asking who told him. Who knows, this time the dedemit can be invited to chat," said Atikah.

Sukma swerved sharply.

"Now, right, said Teteh?" Atikah looked at his sister's eyes.

"Ah, it is difficult to talk to people who are more bucin mah," chirped Sukma snorting.

"Dedek mah kayak who did not experience puberty. Later also if Dedek fell in love with men, would have forgotten the same family," argued Atikah defending himself.

"If that's so mending don't have to crush guys, all of you" said Sukma tightly.

Atikah did not pay attention to Sukma's words. Both of them walked back to the house. While sipping avocado juice in hand, Sukma felt something different about him. He was amazed when he realized there was empathy in his conscience. True Wanara said, his power to fight the dedemit will be reduced if the human side dominates. However, Sukma still has a body and heart like an ordinary human. It is very difficult for Sukma to get rid of the human side and awaken the demonic form at the same time.

...****************...

Mr. Risman is standing by the side of the road. The rush starts when customers pop up one by one. The family service of the man was so friendly, so not infrequently from the buyers who are comfortable eating pecel catfish while having a light conversation.

Sukma shuddered in horror when he was about to enter angkringan the father. There was something strange that his heart could not say. Occasionally, he looked towards angkringan pecel lele across the street. It turns out that Mr. Jaka is also selling again tonight.

Without thinking, Sukma crossed the road. A handful of burning anger burned his heart when he saw the sender's face malice at the father's efforts. As for Mr. Jaka who realized the ringleader of his rival came to angkringan his, seemed to try to stay calm and put a smile on one corner of his lips.

Arriving at the angkringan Pak Jaka, the girl kicked the table as hard as possible while snorting loudly. Angkringan owner man behaved very calmly, as if he did not know the purpose of the arrival of Sukma.

"Want to order pecel lele?" tanya Pak Jaka smiled kindly, like a merchant welcoming a buyer.

"I don't want to mince words anymore" said Sukma, staring intently at the man before her. "My money! You're the one who sent the same dedemit Mr?"

"What's this dude talking about? Better sit down first. Later I will make pecel lele," said Mr. Jaka.

Seeing the pretentious behavior of Pak Jaka, Sukma became increasingly angry. It comes to her memory, about Wanara who suggested to get rid of the human side. Without further ado, he pulled Mr. Jaka's collar and glared at him.

"Don't pretend, sir! I know what you're doing" exasperated Sukma, clenching his left hand ready to send a raw bogem to Pak Jaka's face.

"If so, why?"

"That's you!"

Meanwhile, from across the street, Atikah and Mr. Risman were surprised to see Sukma was making calculations on Mr. Jaka. Soon they left Angkringan, then crossed the road. Ms. Inah, who saw her husband and son go to angkringan opposite, tried to refrain from serving the buyers.

Upon arrival at the Angkringan Pak Jaka, Mr. Risman immediately pulled the body of the youngest who was about to launch a raw bogem into the face of his rival. He was so ashamed of his daughter's attitude that he could not suppress his anger. While Mr. Risman was about to help Mr. Jaka stand up, Atikah was upset to see his father's attitude was very naive. However, the girl still tried to keep her sister away from Mr. Jaka.

"You must also die if my father dies!" snapping Sukma who is still angry at Pak Jaka.

"Dedek, quiet! Hurry back and help Mom!" sergeant Pak Risman glared at the youngest.

"Why did this man help her, anyway? It was clear he wanted to see you destroyed," said Atikah with frowning.

"Does not follow your kayak! Hurry home! You do not want to see Dedek noisier again," reprimanded Mr. Risman began to be upset.

Despite being anxious with Mr. Risman, Atikah did not want to argue with his father. Rushing he dragged his sister across the street, then sat for a while in angkringan. Of course the customers are curious about something that happened between Sukma and Pak Jaka. Bu Inah immediately dampened the curiosity of angkringan visitors by reasoning, that something that had happened was only a personal matter.

Across the street, Mr. Risman apologized for Sukma's behavior. He had no idea that his daughter would be brutal to Mr. Jaka. However, for Mr. Jaka, angering Sukma is one of the advantages for his efforts.

"Ah, it's okay, Mr. Risman. His teenage daughter is still unstable. Naturally he behaved so," said Mr. Jaka diluted the awkward atmosphere.

"Once again, I'm sorry on behalf of my daughter."

Unlike Mr. Risman, Sukma is increasingly becoming. Atikah and Bu Inah held tightly to the girl's body so as not to move again from the place of sale of her father. Sukma was really furious, especially when he realized there was a large black creature hiding among the visitors. It is very desirable that he made calculations with the genie of Mbah Kasiman's shipment. However, Atikah and Bu Inah continue to force him to remain calm, in order to avoid the prejudices of visitors who have worsened since Sukma beat Pak Jaka.

"Well, you better take Dedek home. Not good to see the same buyer," said Bu Inah.

Atikah nodded quickly, then drove her sister home. Just this time he saw Sukma looking very angry like a possessed person. The girl understood very well, that the sister was worried about her father. However, Sukma's rash actions could have indirectly brought harm to Pak Risman's efforts.

Upon arrival at home, Sukma slammed his body into the mattress. He felt sad, because he had failed to prevent something bad to his adoptive father. Nevertheless, Atikah is always willing to be a place to lean on the sister when sad. He hugged his sister who was crying.

"Dec, I hope so cry. Teteh was also actually annoyed by the behavior of the father who pretended to be a rival catfish repairman," said Atikah rubbing his sister's back.

"Teh, why, anyway, you don't understand continuing to be the same will of Dedek? Though Dedek did it because he was worried about the Father," said Sukma as he pleased.

Atikah wipes Sukma's tears. "Udah, Deck. Don't cry anymore, yeah. Better now think of a way to nyingkirin dedemitnya, all tanyain who sent him who."

"But what if the dedemit can't talk anymore?"

"Which now will say, Deck. Teteh sure," said Atikah strengthen the heart of Sukma.

While Atikah persuaded Sukma to calm down, Mr. Risman began to feel the benefits sent by Mr. Jaka. The man's body slowly crumbled. His shoulders were so heavy that he could no longer support his legs to stand.

As night fell, Mr. Risman's condition worsened. Forced, he and his wife closed angkringan early. The man limped while pushing the wagon.

Sukma and Atikah were concerned to see the father who looked careless. Sukma's gaze was immediately fixed on the large, dense black-haired tall creature sitting on Mr. Risman's shoulder. The creature seemed to laugh and tear Mr. Risman's head off.

When Mr. Risman sat in the living room chair, Sukma immediately dragged the supernatural creature from the body of the father. Ms. Inah who had just arrived home, was suddenly surprised to see the strange behavior of her youngest child. With a growl, Sukma displaces the creature out of the house. The girl was really tired of carrying a creature that was bigger than before.

Mr. Risman was stunned as his body gradually recovered. The pain she was suffering from was gone instantly. Atikah who saw the father back in shape, immediately scolded him tightly.

"Now you're better, right? Lucky there is a Dedek who can nanganin magical things. Try me a little bit I understand you want Dedek. Dedek only worried about the Father why-why, but the Father just ngebelain people who want to harm the Father. Atikah hate the same naive attitude of the Father," Atikah cerocos, expressed his frustration that had been restrained since.
