The Curse of Janggala Sukma Village

The Curse of the Manggala Sukma Village: Chapter 17

The journey to Janggala Sukma Village felt so tiring for the two of them. When he reached a town, Sutono came to one of his friends named Panji. Panji was a former member of Sutono's men while still in the police force. The banner of a person who is trustworthy and difficult to bribe. In fact, so honest this Panji, he was first fired from Sutono, because he did not want to help hide the cunning done by his leader. After several years of disappearing, Panji is rumored to live to be a businessman of a small food stall.

But from there, Panji's life slowly began to change and develop for the better, than when he was still a policeman. Moreover, Panji lives near tourist attractions. Many people from outside the area often come to his stall to eat. When Sutono and Mr. Bandri came there, Panji was so surprised. Because all this time, Panji thought that Sutono had died at the hands of his own leader.

"Sir Sutono?! Oh God! How are you sir?! Healthy dad?! Sit Sir! Be seated! Sit down!" Panji invited Sutono and Mr. Bandri to sit inside his house.

"Thank you Panji!"

It was heard that Panji informed Sutono and Pak Bandri's arrival to his wife and son. Apparently, Sutono and Panji were very familiar, until Panji's son and wife knew who Sutono was. One girl came out of the house, and welcomed Sutono and Mr. Bandri. Panji's family is very happy with Sutono at home. They and their families really did not expect that Sutono was still alive. They had not met for more than five years. During that time, Sutono never gave any news to Panji and his family. Sutono seemed to disappear into the earth. Even Panji had made a prayer event together with his small family.

"Pennants... Pennant... Why did you do that? I am alive and well today." Say Sutono to Panji.

"I'm sorry my family, sir. I also did not know that my father was still alive. I thought...."

"ah! It's been. It's been. Our past need not be discussed anymore. What matters is that we have all met again. And this, he is Bandri, my best friend. He's facing a very serious problem, Panji. I think you're the only one who can help her."

Panji and his family were stunned to hear Sutono's words. For years they have lived in peace and quiet, but now, they have to be faced with a problem, which is very disturbing to their lives.

"....It's not just about me and Mr. Bandri, Panji. But this is all about us. Do you still remember the village of Janggala Sukma?"

Getting a question from Sutono, Panji recalled his past while still on duty with Sutono. The village of Janggala Sukma is in a nightmare for his life. During handling cases that occur in Sanggala Sukma Village, Panji often get a lot of problems. One of them is a terrible terror. And the terror happened over and over again. But since Panji and his family were devout people, they could easily win over the strange things sent by the people from Sukma Janggala Village. Plus, Panji also turned out to be a direct disciple of Dyah Tunggal Marani. Many things he has learned from Dyah Tunggal Marani, who has been very helpful in his life today.

"Yes. I remember what happened at the time, sir. But, is the case not over, sir?"

"That case will never be finished, because our former leader never finished it. He only cares about himself. We're the ones who're supposed to solve the fucking case."

"You are a direct disciple of Den Ayu Dyah Tunggal Marani. You have learned a lot from him. I'm sure the ability you have will be very useful to help solve all our problems."

This problem makes Panji confused. He and Sutono were close friends, already like family by themselves. But on the other hand, Panji was also unwilling to return to his past. Because it would be very dangerous for his family. However, Panji's wife and children can understand what Panji will do with Sutono and Pak Bandri. When Panji was still working with Sutono, Panji's wife and children also experienced strange events in their daily lives. But they can all handle it very easily. It's just that this time what Panji and Sutono will do will be much heavier and more risky, because they will both go directly to Janggala Sukma Village.

"Pbuh, if the problem is not resolved soon, we will never calm down at any time. I don't want to if we continue to live in the shadow of the people from Janggala Sukma Village. Go Mas, me and Ratih will definitely be fine. God will protect us all." Said Panji's wife.

"Yes Dad. We'll all be fine. Daddy go. Finish what you have to finish." Ratih.

Finally, with a heavy heart, Panji decided to join Sutono and Pak Bandri, to meet their other friends, who had once joined the Sutono group. Sutono felt very grateful to Panji, because Panji had been willing to accept his invitation to return to solve the case they left in Sukma Janggala Village. There were still four more people they had to meet. And where they are far from each other. Next, they decide to go to Sanca's residence. Sanca is also Sutono's former henchman, who was both fired like Panji and Sutono.

"Sutono sir, is Pak Sutono convinced that Sanca is still alive? I heard he had been sick for a few months. But I don't know how it's going after that." Say the Panji to Sutono.

By then the three of them were already in the car, and were about to leave for Sanca's residence. But Panji hesitates that Sanca is still alive. Because reportedly, Sanca had been seriously ill for several months. Unfortunately, Panji no longer knows how he is.

"Living or not, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that we've all tried our best to do what we can. If Sanca is dead, how else? There's nothing we can do. If she's alive, under any circumstances, Sanca would want to come with us." Answer Sutono.

"Yes sir."

They try to recall every detail of the events that occurred in Janggala Sukma Village. Those painful times had left their souls shaken. In fact, all the events in Janggala Sukma Village turned out to be caused by their greedy and greedy leaders. Their leader used to work with mafia families, to displace Janggala Sukma Village. But the villagers of Janggala Sukma did fight. And the thing is not known by Sutono and his men is, their leader turned out to hire another group to clean up the people who are disobedient. This resulted in many casualties.

But, Sutono and his men were also affected. Because most of the villagers of Janggala Sukma Village are still alive, they then adhere to a heresy, to be able to gain power, to gain strength, so that they can return to fight against those who want to displace their land. And at present, a special group that is said to be led by Mbah Bengkut, are the people who used to be hurt. The problem is, Mbah Bengkut used the power given by the Single Dyah Marani to oppress the people who were there. In fact, the Single Father of Marani never taught heresy in any form. But Mbah Bengkut is the one who made the white science he studied turned into a misleading black magic.

In fact, Mbah Bengkut who initially also fought, actually changed to defend the land mafia families, in order to get property and wealth. Not only that, Mbah Bengkut also changed the actual history that occurred in the Village Janggala Sukma. He killed everyone who knew the truth, for his own personal gain. Including Sutono and all his surviving men. Because Sutono's leadership in the union did not want their secrets spread to the wider community. From there Pena Kota was formed by Dyah Tunggal Marani, after Mr. Bandri gained the trust of his leadership to hold the company.
