SUKMA: The Deal With the Devil

Anger Unstoppable

Along the way home, Sukma did not stop asking his mother about Susan's doll. However, apparently Bu Inah did not want to say all the terrible things that happened when Mr. Risman burned the doll. Occasionally he closed his eyes, horrified when he saw the cry of a baby from the burning.

Upon his arrival at the Hilman residence, Sukma ran to the pavilion. Incidentally, his residence was not locked at all. Without taking off her shoes first, the little girl ran into the room. He was looking for a shabby doll named Susan, but he could not find it at all. Soon Sukma ran outside, staring at his mother who was walking to the terrace of the pavilion.

"Mom, where's Susan's doll? He said after school, I could play Susan's doll again," Sukma said in an anxious tone.

"Look ... t-tadi Mommy ... I-Mother ...."

"Mother to the doll manain?"

From the back garden of Hilman's house, Mr. Risman hurried to the pavilion, knowing his youngest daughter was coming home. He had prepared the answer to the disappearance of Susan's doll. Although relieved by Sukma's safety from the terrible threat of the doll, Mr. Risman remains sad if Sukma cries for the source of his loss of life.

"What's up, Deck?" asked Mr. Risman holding his daughter.

"Don't Susan, sir. Where's the doll? How did I not meet in my room? Did you burn the doll?"

Then Mr. Risman heard the question coming out of his daughter's mouth. How could Sukma know that the doll was burned, he thought. Mr. Risman suddenly remembered Sukma's invisible friend all this time. The middle-aged man sighed for a moment, before explaining his actions to the puppet.

"Look, Sukma. The doll was shabby and ugly, so you throw it away," explained Mr. Risman looking at his two daughters' eyes fixedly.

"But why was it thrown out, sir? You don't love me, do you? Though I like the doll very much," the little girl's sulked her lips.

"Later you bought the one that just, huh? That looks like Susan."

"No way." Sukma shook his head, his eyes began to glaze over. "I want that shabby Susan. Thanks to him, I've made a new friend."

"You will definitely get new friends again even though playing with a better doll. Your friends would love it if you saw you had a new doll."

"I still don't want to, sir. Bad father! Same with Atikah Tea!" sukma shouted, her tears spilling over her cheeks.

Mr. Risman lowered Sukma, until the boy ran into the room crying sobbing. Bu Inah followed Sukma inside, while Mr. Risman stared straight. His heart was indeed sad to see Sukma crying, like slashed sembilu. However, however, burning Susan's doll is better than being left with Sukma until her daughter's life is lost.

Meanwhile, Bu Inah approaches Sukma and caresses her hair. He felt sorry to find his daughter so sad to know her beloved doll was gone. Sukma turned his head, then lowered his head back near the bed.

"Dedek must be sad, yes, to lose the doll?"

"Yes, Mom. Bad father! I threw away the doll and did not say the same to me. If only I had skipped school and was horrified by Maurin's talk, Susan would still be here."

"Already, Deck. If Dedek still wants to play the doll, then I'll buy a new one."

"No way, Mom! I don't want to!" sukma's snapping turned her body on Bu Inah. "Why don't you forbid you just want to throw Susan? Do you like it when Susan gets dumped?"

Ms. Inah was pensive. Explaining things that do not make sense to Sukma, not necessarily able to make his daughter understand. However, Mom Inah does not want to give up just like that.

"Look, Deck. Does Dedek know about dolls that can take someone's life?"

Sukma.

"All right, I'll tell you."

The little boy wiped his tears, then listened carefully to Bu Inah's story.

"One day, there was a little girl who found a dirty doll in front of her house. He was so absorbed in playing with the doll that he forgot the time. The little girl was playing all day until she felt exhausted."

"Keep, Mom. How did the doll take the little girl's life?"

Sukma widens the eyes. "They're alive, ma'am?"

Madam Inah nodded. "It's not just that, the doll was crying until the cry was heard by the little girl's sister."

The little girl smothered her mouth with both hands. "Keep, the little girl's brother made her milk, Mom?"

"The little girl's sister was terrified. He couldn't make milk for the doll. The doll was angry and stabbed the little girl's sister with a knife until she died."

"Then, what about the little girl? Is he dead too?"

"The little girl was made tired of playing with the doll. His health declined, he became sickly often. His father and mother tried to take him to the doctor, but the little girl was no longer alive."

"So, he died?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"But Susan isn't such a doll, ma'am. You know, I was really sick after getting my hair cut. Well, after Maurin gave Susan's doll to me, I was cured."

Hearing the narration of Sukma, Bu Inah is the youngest. He still remembered very well, how Sukma's condition changed drastically after getting the doll. Unlike Giska, who is said to often get sick after Susan's doll into his life.

"Mom, I really don't like you burning Susan. I hate you, Father!"

"Hus! Dedek can't say that. You did it all for the good of Dedek."

The look on Sukma's face is getting stronger. He ran outside, looking at the father who was mowing the grass. Sukma is getting annoyed at Mr. Risman.

Amidst his anger, Maurin comes from Hilman's yard. His face showed dislike for Mr. Risman's family. His eyes stared intently at Sukma. With anger, the little girl approached Sukma who was standing in front of the terrace.

Realizing the arrival of Maurin, Sukma felt regret. If only Susan had been taken to school, maybe the doll would not have been thrown away by Mr. Risman.

"M-Maurin, I'm sorry" said Sukma.

"I hate you, Sukma! If you had heard my words, Susan couldn't have been burned."

"It wasn't burned, Maurin, it was thrown away."

"delayed? Come here, come with me! The doll was burned by your father and mother."

Maurin hurried to take Sukma to the backyard of the pavilion. Ash looks from the burning leaves and plastic melt there. How surprised Sukma to find the sight.

"So, you lied to me? He said the doll was thrown away."

"If banished, I will definitely find him and return him. But if it burns, Susan can't come back. He doesn't exist. This is all because of you, Sukma!"

"I'm sorry, Maurin. I'm ...."

"Udah ah! I hate you! I don't want to play anymore!"

Maurin melengos, then left the pavilion. Sukma pursued him, trying hard to make Maurin forgive. But when he arrived in front of the pavilion terrace, Maurin's figure suddenly disappeared, making Sukma confused.

"Who are you looking for, Dek?" asked Mr. Risman, approaching his daughter.

"I don't want to talk to you, Father!"
