The Curse of Janggala Sukma Village

The Curse of the Manggala Sukma Village: Chapter 7

"I never thought we'd make it this far, Yati. I wish everything would be finished soon. I want to build a happy family. With you, or with someone else." Iwan told Yati.

This made Yati feel very surprised. What Iwan said, like a last word. Yati was only speechless hearing from Iwan. He feels very guilty to Iwan, because as long as the two of them work together, Yati does not pay too much attention to Iwan's circumstances. As for Iwan, he always asks Yati news, almost every day. On the way to the village of Janggala Sukma, they were between them by Hermanto's men, with a car. The journey should take them for one day and one night. Because of its far location.

Although Sukma Janggala Village is a remote village, but the road access to the village is very good. The roads are built with soil and rocks. The atmosphere in the village became more beautiful. Iwan and Yati still do not feel any strange things in the village. In fact, the villagers were very friendly to welcome the two of them. There were also many children playing in the village. The kids there looked very happy and well. Nothing else happened to them.

Iwan and Yati were also astonished by what they saw. What they saw did not correspond to what Hermanto said. However, Hermanto's men again reminded Yati and Iwan. If this atmosphere is just a diversion. There are so many dark secrets in Sukma Janggala Village, which they do not know yet.

"Be careful. It's all just a diversion. You guys should be careful with this place. I never want to enter the Village Janggala Sukma, if there is no Mr. Hermanto. Because only he can get in and out of this place safely. None of my friends made it out. I don't know what happened to them. To be sure, Sukma Janggala Village is the most dangerous place, in my opinion." Say that guy.

"The two of us will always be careful in this place. No need to worry. We already know what we have to do." Answer Yati.

"Yes. My friends who are missing in this village are saying the same thing as you. They said everything would be fine. There's not gonna be anything. Relax, guys, we're going home. That's what they told me. Before I finally realized, what they were saying was nonsense."

Iwan and Yati looked at each other. They were also not sure if this place was really safe, like what they saw now. It could be seen from the way Yati was sitting. His hands clasped each other. His eyes were not as bright as before. Yati looked worried. Same with Iwan. Iwan often downed drinks in the bag he was carrying. Often he also propped up his beard, with his left hand. And gave a blank look to everyone he saw in the village.

Sanggala Sukma Village was not a small village. The village is very large. And there are a lot of families living there. Along the way to Mbah Brengkut house, Iwan and Yati saw a lot of unique things in Sukma Janggala Village. One of them is a typical dance of the village. Javanese Gending chants, beautify their dances. The dance was performed by the village girls. And according to Hermanto's men, the girls should really still be holy. Because that dance is a sacred dance. The generations exist and thrive in this village.

Finally, Iwan and Yati started getting awkward things at this place. The more they enter the village area, the more strange things they find. Many villagers put up offerings in front of their homes. Iwan and Yati had no idea why the villagers were doing that. But again, Hermanto's men gave them an answer. It is said that it was done to ward off evil spirits in the village. If they do not do so, then all the children in the village will be prey to evil creatures who have lived for hundreds of years in the village of Sukma Janggala.

That made Yati and Iwan horrified. There have been a lot of strange things that they have experienced during their time as a journalist. When he first saw such a thing, Yati and Iwan initially laughed at him. But no longer after so many years they lived their profession. Because there are so many strange things that they have experienced. Until they finally believe that such a thing exists. But that's what worries them both. Whenever there was such a strange thing, it was certain that many other strange things would spring up around them.

"Until now!" Says the son of Hermanto.

Yati and Iwan were shocked. Coupled with the presence of Mbah Bengkut, who was waiting for the arrival of the two of them in his own yard.

"That Mbah Bengkut. Let's get down." Said Hermanto's men.

Hermanto's men, along with Iwan and Yati, were greeted very kindly by Mbah Bengkut.

"Priwe kabare mbah?" Ask the Hermanto guys.

It turns out that the name of Hermanto's men is Sanji. Mbah Bengkut as already know the figure of Sanji this.

"Kae sing arane Yati karo Iwan? Uh?" Ask Mbah Bengkut to Sanji.

"Nggih Mbah Bengkut's. Niku Yati kalih Iwan."

Mbah Bengkut mangosteen while staring at the two of them. Despite his age is very old, Mbah Bengkut still looks healthy and fine. Even his body looks fit and fresh. There was only a slight frown on his face.

"Yes wis. Come on, mlebu ngger." Said Mbah Bengkut while waving to Yati and Iwan.

Although Yati and Iwan are not good at Javanese, but they can both understand, if Mbah Bengkut invites them both to enter his house. Sanji, he himself must return home from the village immediately, to report everything to Hermanto.

"Bright. Ora medhang by Mas Sanji?"

"Mboten Mbah's. Mature Suwun. Kulo badhe wangsul mawon. Manto is waiting."

"Oh. Yes wis. Hello nggo Manto."

"Excite Mbah. Kulo pamit."

"Excite."

Before leaving, Sanji again reminded Yati and Iwan, not to do stupid things in this place.

"Remember! What happened to the two of you in this place is everyone's responsibility. If something happens, caused by your own actions, nothing will help. You gotit?"

"Yes. Thanks to Sanji."

"Hmmm!" Sanji replied briefly. Who rushed straight from there.
