The Enchantment of the Pelintrik

The Journey

After the small debate ended, the car returned to normal. Beni wiped the sweat that still appeared on the forehead. Apparently, the cold drink that Irma bought was not able to provide comfort to her body that suddenly got angry.

Not only Beni, Irma and Dewi also felt the air in the car become stuffy and hurt the skin. The heat is not due to the sun, but by something inexplicable.

“AC his car died what is this life, Mas?” ask Irma curiously. He fan-fan with his hands to get a fresh breeze.

Beni set the air temperature in the car to be even cooler, “This has stuck, it should be cold .. unless the AC is indeed in trouble! Did I open a little glass to let some air in? So stuffy!”

Irma directly approves, “Iya lower the glass bit!”

Unlike before, they were this time more silent. Irma who was familiar with such a mystical atmosphere clucked in disbelief. It is impossible that what is usually felt at night now is very felt in the day, it is not too common considering that supernatural beings succeed at night– in contrast to humans.

CRUST!!!

However, Irma did not immediately stand still when something hit the glass very hard from the front. The sound of impact followed the cracking sound of glass cracks tense the atmosphere.

"What was that, Ir? The bats? A bird? The rocks?" cerca Beni in panic.

"You see, too, Mum?"

"Black shit, but I don't know what it is! Why does it feel like someone is deliberately scaring us in broad daylight like this!"

THE DUAR!!!

The car was badly run over and finally hit the road divider, one front wheel even went up to the top of the sidewalk.

“Moreover this?!” pekik Beni tense.

“Broke tire again?” tanya Irma was also late in the panic.

Beni directly turn off the car engine, “Let's go all down, like now the front tire is problematic! Huh, where is the cracked glass, where the spare tire is only one!”

Irma turned her head around, “It looks like we are far from the workshop, far from the residential area as well. This quiet street, Mas!”

Beni noticed the flattened car tire, then looked around. “Phone description, Ir! Ask the nearest workshop address where! If there is a technician who can come here even better!”

Irma called several times, ranging from calling lighting to calling the number two workshop she got. One of them is willing to come to take care of the needs of the replacement of car tires owned by Madam Suzan.

“Need crane, Mas?” ask Irma on the sidelines to call the workshop.

“I guess not, this is just a tire problem! The engine is fine!”

Irma pointed to the front crack of the car, "His horse?"

"Let's take it to Suzan's garage!"

"okay! Technician is coming! We're told to wait twenty minutes."

They waited for fifteen minutes until one motorcycle stopped near the car. Two technicians came carrying new tires and scaffolding equipment in large bags.

Beni asked two workshop technicians to immediately disassemble and replace with new tires. Fortunately, his wife had transferred the money to shop for salon needs, so it can be used to buy tires first.

The two technicians worked deftly in front of Beni, Irma and also Dewi. The sun was getting hotter, making them impatient to continue the journey immediately.

Irma whispered into Dewi's ear, “Crazy, in half an hour already changed tires twice! This is weird, Wi!”

The goddess answered quietly, half hissing. “That's so weird, Ma'am! I think something is stopping us from ever getting to our destination!”

“I think so too, the drama broke the tire up to twice this is too coincidental!”

The whispers of Irma and Dewi were stopped by one of the technicians who had just finished removing the tire. “Mas .. try to see this, his car tires ...”

“Why, Sir?” asked Beni enthusiastically.

“There is sharp bamboo coming out from inside the tire, this is what rips the tire to break this badly!”

“That means tires bulging pointed bamboo, sir?”

Forty-year-old man in blue shirt workshop uniform shows more detail by tearing the tire with a knife, “If the tire overrides any nail or sharp object, tear it from the outside! This does not make sense because there is a pointed bamboo along the arms of the baby in the tires of the car that is being used! Want to be explained by any logic, this obviously makes no sense ...”

Beni stuck, “Iya, Sir! There was no way there was bamboo inside the tires of a car that could originally walk normally!

"Try to help check, sir! Is there bamboo in this tire? Half an hour ago this tire erupted, and here's how it is!"

The technician frowned in surprise at the tire whose condition was very unnatural, but hurriedly kept his nervous look as Beni watched him with a fearful expression.

“This, Mas see for yourself what's in it!” Two rusted daggers were removed from inside the tire, hidden among the rubber that was still intact.

Beni widened her eyes, then hissed slowly, “No way!”

“It looks like someone wants to disturb ... or harm the passengers of this car– in a magical way! Be careful, for something like this can only be done by something invisible but very evil! The black magic shaman who did it.”

“What is this fine, Sir?” ask Beni quickly. His heart was beating very fast considering he could not believe everything that smelled of magic and shamanism. “But who wants to make me wretched? I have no enemies?”

“It looks like this smart guy's target is not his mas. Sharp objects only this hit the tires of the car .. maybe the destination just hampers the trip! But it is not impossible that one of the passengers is the cause of the problem!”

Beni glanced at Irma with an inexplicable expression. It is very complicated to believe the words of Irma who is said to be a victim in her relationship with Madam Suzan.

He doubted that his wife would do such a cruel thing to his ex-wife. Could it be that the car was stopped in such a mystical way because Madam Suzan did not want Irma to recover?

Beni is restoring her hair in frustration. He paid and gave tips to two workshop technicians who had completed their work without wanting to discuss the length of the mysterious incident. “Thank you very much, Sir!”

Irma gets into the car followed by Dewi and finally Beni. The car engine is turned on and starts to go slow down the not so crowded streets.

"It turns out you were right, Ir! All of these are not things that can be logical with the mind. This terror is unbelievable! Worst Journey I've ever had ...."

"Thank God that Mas Beni wants to understand this complicated problem," Irma was relieved.

"Who is the one who hinders your treatment? It is clear that the one who did all this was not Suzan! She couldn't possibly risk my life, however I was her husband and she loved me" Beni said with a complicated expression.

Irma let Beni speak for herself without even responding further. People in the influence of the use of pity do tend to be stupid and blind in love, not least the ex-husband.

The journey is almost over. The paranormal location that became the destination is getting closer. But the horror is becoming more real. Beni is driving with eyes that are almost closed because of the difficulty of holding back sleepiness. The car several times brake suddenly because it almost intersects with other vehicles.

“This is absolutely crazy! Is there any underworked shaman who sent me a sleeping spell?” gerutu Beni while hitting the steering wheel of the car.

Irma rubbed Beni's arm patiently, asking her to talk so that her ex-husband remained focused on the road. “It's almost there, Mom! Stay focused on the road let us all be safe until the destination!”

“Sakti pillars that you visit can see who makes the car tires damaged, right? I'm sure this drowsiness isn't pure from me either! Oh yes ... what is the name of the science used to put the inhabitants of the house to sleep?”

"Syrup?" irma asked seriously, but her head looked outside while laughing.

Beni turned to Irma, "You're bullying me?"

The Goddess replied from behind, "Science sirep his name, Mas! If the syrup is delicious made ice hehehe!"

"Well that .. who would dare to insolent send me a sirep? Who wants to make us wretch?"

“We ask later the same shaman! I know whose source it is! Later if I call Suzan's name, you're on a rampage!"

"Because it wasn't Suzan!" sergeant Beni is full of defense.

"As far as you are! Eh mas .. indeed if you already know who wants to harm us, what do you want?”

“You I'm back!” answer Beni grimly. His face was hardened with anger and resentment.

"It seems to have arrived!" Beni grinned as her eyes looked at the plaque across the street that read 'PARANORMAL PRACTICE, OCCULT SCIENCE AND SUPERNATURAL'.

"Well that's the place, Mom!" exclaimed the Goddess from behind, pointing across the street. "Turn it around in front of my friend!"

Beni chuckles at the writing below, reading aloud to Dewi and Irma, "Serving non-medical medical illnesses!"

The Goddess replied, "Yes right, Mom! Non-medical sick people if left unchecked can be a medical pain, you know…!"

"Masa? What are you, if you say, don't come from?!"

"Mas Beni just ask directly to his paranormal later if you don't believe!" answered the Goddess flat.
