The Enchantment of the Pelintrik

The Enchantment of the Pelintrik
Mbah Suro's



Irma was stunned in the living room of the Dewi house, accompanied by a hot coffee that still reflected the smoke. Across the table, Dewi was busy replying to her husband. Tell the sad news from the house of Mr. Dulah.


Maybe indeed the fate of Mr. Dulah's life has been completed, but somehow Irma feels guilty about this. The words of the Goddess who states that shamans are defeated in magical wars can hurt and die very hurt little Irma.


Irma sipped coffee from the cup while warm to reduce dizziness in the head. Was it true that Mr. Duah died defending his interests?


“Where, Ma'am? Want to go to Mbah Suro's house is not this?” ask the Goddess after not being busy with her phone anymore.


“Away from his house?”


“Thirty minutes from here! Queue a little if treatment at Mbah Suro!”


Irma weighed the decision, “For example I did not go there how, Wi?”


“Terserah mbak anyway! Who feels the pain is Ms Irma, I can only help nganter!”


Irma felt bad and was very worried, “Honestly I was confused, Wi! I feel guilty with Mr. Dulah's family!”


“Mbak, if the way you think so, you will not want to seek treatment again to the paranormal. The problem is, who is the non-medical disease that can cure if not a person like Mr. Dulah? About Mr. Dulah to death is the risk of his work. Mbak Irma treatment there is not free, pay expensive even.”


“Iya I understand, but who wants to be the cause of death of others, Wi? I really can't be ignorant or don't assume that Mr. Dalah died defending me!”


“Only God knows about that, Ma'am! I don't want to comment anymore!”


Irma was again struck by a dilemma, she only responded to the statement of the Goddess after a moment of silence. “So we go to the psychic!”


“Ya let's go now, not later if the queue is long!”


“Wi, you still want the same story I... that you accidentally met Elz on the street? The one I hit his car with?”


Goddess thought for a moment, “Iya inget! Why the hell, Mommy?”


“All Elz predictions nothing misses yes, Wi! Is he really a psychic? I mean, he's actually smart but hidden. Pretend to be the point. You see, I met yesterday .. Elz who is now very different from the old. Elz does not look good!”


Dewi flicking fingers, “Nah .. I've heard of people who are crazy for the sake of magic. Maybe Elz is, too! Pretend sableng to get a certain study! To be paranormal is the language.”


“Then Elz actually sakti dong, Wi!” suhut Irma while raising her buttocks on the motorbike. His heart rippled uncomfortably and his body grew heavier as his mouth mentioned Elz's name repeatedly.


It was like there was something in him that didn't like the young man's name. Like there was something in him that strongly rejected the discussion about Elz. There is an inexplicable fear whenever the name Elz is called by his mouth.


“This Mbah Suro house is close to Lala loh's house, Ma'am! Later stop by yuk, who knows he has info about Elz! They used to be close, too, right?”


“Lala?” Irma tried to remember the frontline team she used to work with. “As I recall the one close to Elz was Nadia!”


“Oh yes I remember, Lala who once a week change hair color, right? How's he doing now, Wi?”


“Persis as Elz foresees, Ma'am! The soul is far away! So she hasn't been married until now!” the Goddess replied while laughing at the ridiculous prophecy that a young man once said to his friends.


“Gosh, so this Elz prophecy doesn't stop at us?” ask Irma skeptically. He was never close to the sembleng fortune teller, not too caring, so he did not follow the lunge as long as he befriended the Goddess and others.


“All store children either blatantly or secretly it hit Elz– without exception. But eventually all were angry because Elz was considered to be careless and started making things up, so no one else would believe and want to be friends with him. Including me! Though in hindsight Elz was not wrong! He may only reveal what he saw from us–from the whisper or from his knowledge.”


“Bo-dohnya I have met directly even did not ask for his phone number, like do not remember that part! Pas he went new tepok jidat!”


Irma understood why she couldn't remember asking for Elz's phone number. Something in him made him daze. He also remembered that there was fear when chatting with Elz.


“If you mate with Elz will meet again! I don't mean a mate to be Beni's surrogate life partner, but a soul mate in another sense. Elz became the helper of pain Irma– Mbak but if Elz is really paranormal you know!”


Irma is not sure she will meet Elz again even though the young man said ‘until I see you again’. Because unknowingly, his mouth suddenly rejected the idea of Goddess to stop by Lala's house. He now feels driven by something that causes a disconnect between the heart and mind.


Instantly Dewi immediately asked, “Why not stop by Lala's place, Mbak?”


“I have to pick up Novan and Novia also later at noon, afraid they wait a long time at school. We also do not know what kind of queue will be at Mbah Suro's place! Anytime we schedule play to Lala's house, you make a promise first with her, yes!”


The goddess raised the speed of her motor so as not to continue the chatter. After a few minutes, Dewi turned the motor to the village road that was not too wide. Stop in the courtyard of a large village-style house.


There are three motorcycles parked in the yard. Some people were sitting in the waiting room in front of the red door bearing the name and schedule of Mbah Suro's practice.


Irma took a seat in the back seat, next to the Goddess. It seems like they were lucky enough because the queue was only a few people.


From within the practice room of Mbah Suro, faintly came the sound of a female roar. Exactly the scream of pain. Irma closed her anxious eyes. If the assumption is correct, the woman who howled for help must be in the handling of the psychic.


Dewi patted the back of Irma's moving hand trembling while grasping the handle of the chair. "Mr?"


Irma pouted, "My face is suddenly hot, Wi!"


"Hold a minute, Ma'am! It must be the genie that is in the body mbak again react to the condition of this place. The genie was agitated because it would be removed from the body of Madam Irma. That damn jinn must be scared of Mbah Suro!"


Irma turned her head and looked at the Goddess with a depressed expression, "Let's accompany me huh, Wi! Anyway I don't get left behind, especially if I'm unconscious!"


The goddess smiled reassuringly, "Mbak don't worry, I know Mbah Suro! I can stay to accompany the mother inside for as long as the treatment lasts."
