SUKMA: The Deal With the Devil

The Sustenance Is Where

Atikah panicked more as the cloth from Wanara's body spread towards Sukma's hand. Immediately he pulled his sister's hand and let the ape demon scream in pain at the winding of the cloth around her neck. Sukma cried even louder, until Atikah tried to calm him by hugging him.

"Already, Deck. Let the monkey go. Maybe the owner does not like if you are close to him continue," Atikah reprimanded the head of Sukma.

"But, Teteh .. his monkey pity to such pain," Sukma said as he pleased.

"Here you go, justin. Later we find a new pet for Dedek, yes," persuaded Atikah.

"No. Dedek for animals who can talk."

"Yes, yeah. Later Teteh cariin animals that can talk and more sinter than the monkey. You want to, right?"

Sukma.

"Now mending we get out of here. Poor, Mom and Dad are waiting for us in front."

Sukma wiped his tears, then turned his body leaving Wanara stranded. Sometimes he looked back, could not bear to see his beloved monkey dragged violently by a cloth around his neck. Atikah who realized the sadness on Sukma's face, immediately led her sister not to look back.

Seeing the behavior of his two daughters, Bu Inah and Pak Risman were astonished. When the two approached Bu Inah, the middle-aged woman seemed anxious to see the state of Sukma. Soon he asked Sukma's attitude to Atikah.

"So Dedek why, Atikah?" ask Ms. Inah.

Not wanting his strange attitude to be revealed, Atikah said, "Dedek was just sad to leave the house, Mom. That's why we cry on."

"Yes, now we continue the journey, yes," said Mr. Risman.

"But where are we going, sir?" ask Sukma, still as much as he pleased.

"Just go somewhere you like."

Mr. Risman won't linger. He invited his whole family to go as far away from the house as possible from someone who had helped him in difficult times. Actually, Mr. Risman's heart was quite heavy when he left the Hilman residence. But for him, his decision to no longer burden Hilman was not a very bad thing. At least someday, he can return the goodwill Hilma who has greatly helped his economy to improve when difficult.

While Mr. Risman's family is getting away, Wanara is distraught to escape from the entanglement of Mbah Suro. The peck on his neck grew stronger, until he learned that Mbah Suro had been after him since. The old man seemed furious to know his beloved demon was following Sukma, then with his strength, he changed the size of Wanara to small and can be grasped.

"Fuck you, Wanara! Not to eat tumbar, but instead to be a child's lackey. Where's your pride?"

Abstinence for Wanara begging the shaman for forgiveness. However, he felt more powerful than Mbah Suro. The proof, many humans are begging for help to launch a grudge on the enemy.

"Now you're back at Farah's house! Finish the bread until his life is completely gone."

Wanara. Mbah Suro immediately threw the ape demon into Hilman's residence, then sprinkled incense powder around the residence of his target. When Mbah Suro manages to create a magical crossbar to prevent Wanara from escaping from Hilman's residence, the ape demon returns in size.

Finished doing his job, Mbah Suro walked out of the compound. But before being away from Hilman's residence, he was followed by Arini who called him from behind. Mbah Suro turned his head for a while and stopped.

"Well, you're bullying me, Rin? Your task is done" said Mbah Suro, wailing.

"Suro, have you brought the demon from Farah's house? Watch out if my niece does anything else!"

"Here you go, you don't have to think anything weird about me anymore. Take care of your nephew."

"Suro .. you are this ...."

"Hurry back to Farah's house! Or someone saw you talking to a shaman again."

Hearing Mbah Suro's warning, Arini trembled. Without saying goodbye, the old woman rushed back to Hilman's residence. Mbah Suro smiled at the left corner of his lips. Furthermore, only one more plan will be launched to finish off Farah and get a lot of money from Ratna.

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

Something was different when Hilman came home. No Mr. Risman was busy cleaning the garden equipment in the backyard of the magnificent house. When Hilman got out of the car, he did not go straight into the house, but to the quiet pavilion. He was called Mr. Risman, but no one answered. When the pavilion door opened, Hilman found no one there.

Suddenly, Hilman panics and goes to his house. Upon arrival in the living room, Farah and Arini are having a conversation interspersed with light laughter. The man sat down on the chair and looked at his wife and aunt.

"Eh, Hilman, you've come home as it turns out," said Arini smiling wryly.

For a moment Hilman sighed, then said, "Where is Mr. Risman and his family? Why aren't they in the pavilion?"

Farah and Arini looked at each other. Both of them looked nervously at the anger on Hilman's face.

"Pa, can I make you some juice?" tanya Farah switched the conversation.

"Reply answer! Where's Mr Risman's family?" ask Hilman grimly.

"Why is this why, anyway? Coming instead of relaxing, even angry nanyain Pak Risman," ketus Farah upset.

"You like to sneeze, yeah. Just answer me quickly, where is Mr. Risman's family!"

"They're gone" replied Arini.

"Go? Why did they leave? Is it scolded again by Farah?" tanya Hilman.

"They've subverted me, Pa! I saw for myself, there's a offerings in his room!" clearly Farah grumbled.

Hilman breathed a heavy sigh. "Jeez you, Farah" he said. "So much do you hate the family of Mr. Risman, to the point of expelling them just because of offerings? I know very well, Mr. Risman was diligent in worship. Let alone obligatory prayers, even the sunnah prayers he did. It's so funny that he wants to subvert you. Exasperated him, where it may hurt you, especially by covet God."

"But we don't know anyone's other side, Pa. Could be, right, he pretended to be good in front of us when in the back ...."

"Enough, Farah! You are embarrassing. I told you, right, if Mr. Risman and Ms. Inah intend to harm you, maybe they have long uprooted you? I'm sure the people who toppled you were not them, but your deketeers who gave you stale food."

"But if it's not Mr. Risman's family, how can Sukma see the demon ship?"

Hilman just glared. His mind was tired of explaining, that all the peculiarities that Sukma has had nothing to do with the black magic sent by someone. Without saying a word, the man hurried away from before them. He is determined to find Mr. Risman's family and bring them back home.

"Where are you going? Never mind, don't look for them!" said Farah.

"Be quiet, Farah! Don't interfere!" hilman.

"Pa, I kicked them out of pity with Papa. Papa's efforts are declining, I'm just trying to ease Papa's costs" Farah explained.

Hilman paused for a moment, then turned to his wife. "Oh, so you think I can't pay all the employees in this house, do you? You underestimated my abilities, huh? Even though my efforts were declining, I was still able to pay the staff. Nevermind! Don't interfere in my affairs anymore!"

The grip of Farah from his hand. Hilman immediately got into the car, then drove it until he left the yard. He did not think, Farah will be so good to the family of Mr. Risman who is famous for being honest and polite. Although Farah repeatedly assured him that Mr. Risman had done a heinous deed, Hilman would never believe, because he knew very well the personality of his favorite employee.

While Hilman was looking for his favorite employee's family, a few kilometers from the company, Mr. Risman and his children were hanging out at Bandung Station. I don't know where they really are. To be sure, they wanted to go as far as possible to a foreign place. Hope no one recognizes them, so the disgrace of Mr. Risman is impossible to reveal.

Mom Inah led her two children to follow where her husband was going. Mr. Risman got into the station, they came along. The atmosphere of the station was so crowded, making Bu Inah worried that his children were lost among the crowd. Getting an empty seat, the three sat for a moment while looking at Mr. Risman who was in line, booking a train ticket. Sometimes Sukma complains, his stomach hurts from hunger.

"Wait a minute, yeah, Deck. Later if you already get a ticket, I buy food," said Bu Inah.

"It's okay, Mom. Dedek let me wait," said Atikah.

"alright. You guys don't go anywhere, yeah. Here are a lot of people, later if you are lost, Mother is again bothered."

Atikah.

Despite being worried, Ms. Inah still went outside the station to look for food. Sukma was still holding his stomach, holding back the agonizing hunger since last afternoon. Atikah who accompanied Sukma, tried to persuade his sister to remain patient waiting for the mother.

After waiting in line for a long time, Mr. Risman finally got a ticket. He chose to go to Padalarang. At least that way, his family is safe from the disgrace he inflicted on the Hilman family.

When he returned to where his son and wife were waiting, Mr. Risman gasped. His family wasn't there. Look for children, penetrate the crowd of passengers who want to go to their respective destinations. The entire station he traced, until finally passed by Bu Inah.

"Loh, Sir? Who are you looking for?" ask Mom, worried.

"Ah, thank goodness. Finally met Mom too" said Mr. Risman, relieved. "Mom, the kids are just like Mom, right?"

Madam Inah frowned, anxiety started to seep into her chest. "No, Sir. I thought I'd met the kids."

"Geez! How'this? I went around the station, but I didn't see you!"

"Astagfirefull!" Ms. Inah smothered her mouth. "We need to find it again, sir. Could be bad if they're gone."

While Mr. Risman and Ms. Inah were panicking, Atikah was upset waiting for her sister not to come out of the toilet. From outside the toilet room, he banged on the door while telling his sister to come out immediately. The little girl was worried that her parents were confused looking for her and her sister.

"Dedek! Dedek cepetan out! This is a lot of fun!" yell Atikah.

Instead of obeying her brother, Sukma just sits casually in the toilet while looking at the woman in white clothes who is standing next to her. His long hair covered his entire face, so Sukma did not see the woman's expression at all. Sometimes Sukma greeted the woman, but her greeting seemed to be ignored.

"You're so arrogant, anyway. Why not answer me?" gerutu Sukma's.

The woman remained unmoved.

"Well, do you have a pet that can talk? If you have one, give me one. You see, my monkey was pulled by the original owner, so I'm sad not to have a pet that can talk anymore."

The woman laughed with her shrill voice.

"Well, why laugh, anyway? I just want to ask for a pet that can talk. You fucked me, huh? Laugh until it's so loud," Sukma cerocos while frowning.

Shortly thereafter, the sound of the door being pounded again. It turned out that Atikah asked the adult for help to break down the door. Two women tried to push the door with all their might. Finally the door of the toilet room occupied by Sukma opened.

Sukma turned his head towards the door, then was astonished to see the faces of those who looked at him in panic. Atikah immediately pulled her sister out of the toilet room and thanked the two women who had helped her break down the door. Next, Atikah takes Sukma away from the toilet in a fit of annoyance.

"Why are these dishes in the toilet? Dedek bobo, huh?" ask Atikah grumbling.

"But again ask for an animal that can talk to the woman who is waiting for Dedek in the toilet."

"Ah, Dedek is very fond of talking to strangers, anyway," said Atikah, "we should now go back to the waiting area. Later the same mother Father nyariin us."

"Oh, yes."

After coming out of the toilet area, they met with both parents who were panicking. Mr. Risman was grateful to see his two daughters doing well, while Bu Inah immediately embraced Atikah and Sukma with relief. Ms. Inah asked about their whereabouts all along. Atikah who was still upset at Sukma was immediately poked, that his sister was happy to linger in the toilet.

Upon their return to the passenger waiting area, Mr. Risman panicked. The suitcase with the money that Arini gave away went nowhere. If it was taken away by people, their fate would be worse than before.

"Where should we look, sir? Just finished meeting the children, now the suitcase is gone," complained Ms. Inah, her voice sounding tired.

"Mother doesn't know where to go. Here a lot of people," said Mr. Risman puzzled, scratching his back head.

Sukma spread his gaze around him. His eyes glared at the events that had happened before in the place where Mr. Risman's belongings were stored. At first glance, a burly hand picked up the black suitcase. Sukma's view was indirectly aimed at the tall and sturdy bald man and wearing a green T-shirt carrying a suitcase filled with money, was queuing near the gate to the train area came.

Without much to say, the little girl immediately infiltrated among the other passengers who were waiting in line. He held the man's hand, then looked up. Of course, the man was uncomfortable with the arrival of Sukma.

"What are you doing again, anyway? Take off my hands!" hardik the man.

"Back the suitcase or ...."

"Or what? Here's my suitcase," the man snapped.

"Oh. So you want me to teach you a lesson, okay?"

The man was getting riled up by Sukma's strange behavior. He tried to remove Sukma's grip from his hand, but it was difficult. Sukma who was increasingly furious at his lie, even more gripped the man's arm, then slammed his body until sprawled on the floor.

Suddenly, all the prospective passengers were stunned to see the strange incident. For them, it was impossible for a small child to be able to slam a large, burly man's body. Even with Mr. Risman's family, who did not believe in the youngest's abusive treatment of the man.
