THE FORBIDDEN TREASURE
Episode 16's
“Man created in two sides. The first is the good side and the other side is the bad. Depending on which side of life the human being is affected and willing to control it.”
“Then?”
“We cannot avoid that we are always between those two sides. In a sense, humans can do good things and vice versa. But ... as bad as human nature, in the recesses of his heart must still be stored the side of goodness.“
Mbah Suko took a deep breath, then turned to Sarah.
“Then what do you think, if there is a human being who has made a very fatal mistake and wants to make up for it, even though he has to sacrifice his body's soul even?” ask Ma'am Suko to come back.
Sarah frowned. There was something strange about his grandfather's question.
“If anyone wants to do such a thing, how blessed he is. May the Lord please forgive all his mistakes,” Sarah replied as she looked at her grandfather's suddenly grim face, “apa
mean Grandpa by the question?”
Ma'am Suko looked glum.
“If Grandpa ever made a pretty heavy and embarrassing mistake, would you still want to think of me as your grandfather, Cu?” it was hard for Mbah Suko to say that.
“Of course Sarah would be proud to have a grandfather who dared to admit a mistake and try to fix it,” Sarah replied later, “what did Grandpa ever do?”
Sarah probing.
Mbah Suko bowed his head. Her old eyelids were wet with puddles of tears.
At that moment, Sarah's mother came to both of them. He sat next to his father, Mbah Suko.
“Say, Sir! It's time Sarah knew ... “ said the woman gave strength and support to her father.
Mbah Suko turned to his daughter. Sarah's mother nodded slowly.
“What is this really, Cake? Bu?” Sarah was confused.
“Say .. “ sahut the woman once again sambi smile and stroke Mbah Suko's shoulder.
“Know, Cu. That ... the man who had impregnated his younger brother Mr. Karyadi was ... Grandpa himself .. “ said Ms. Suko with a broken voice.
Sarah surprised. The girl's body shook violently. He has no power to say anything.
“That's true, Cake?” sarah's voice was almost half whispered to confirm the reality.
Mbah Suko nodded slowly.
“What your grandfather said is true, Sarah. No more need to be covered up,” Mother Sarah chimed, “ at the time of the incident, we and our family could not accept. Mainly ... my mother.”
“Nak ... “ Mbah Suko looks at Mother Sarah's face.
“Mother is very depressed once faced with the fact that ... You have betrayed him. Especially at that time, along with my situation who was pregnant with my son, Sarah.”
Sarah grabs her mother's fingers, “Bu ... “
Sarah's mother smiled bitterly.
“It was so heavy that we felt at the time. Even until my mother died ... “
“Nak ... “ Mbah Suko rubbed his son's face, “sorry father, yes, Nak.”
“I'm sorry, Sir. So remember the incident a few years ago it was.”
Sarah looked at the two, “Then how does the story go, Cake?”
Sister Suko took a breath, “After the incident, Grandpa went away from the village where Karyadi's sister lived. Go somewhere and hide there. But all that time, Grandpa's heart was never serene. Grandpa is always overshadowed by guilt and sin.“
After sipping a few drops of drinking water, Mbah Suko continued his story, “One day, Grandpa decided to return to the village. But once there, Karyadi's family was gone. What Grandpa heard
only news about Karyadi has brought a baby boy away. Grandpa never knew where Karyadi went. And one more, until now Grandpa is still investigating, is Karyadi still taking care of the child?”
“The baby that was taken away Mr Karyadi?” ask Sarah.
“Ya, that's him.”
“Isn't the baby the figure of Ardy, Kek?”
“Grandfather is also sure. Just not sure right ... “
“Then how can Grandpa know that Mr Karyadi is in this city?”
“One time ... Grandfather read the news in a newspaper about the success of Karyadi, who had become a successful and wealthy businessman. So Grandpa decided to come to this town. Business to business
Grandpa finished ... “ said Mbah Suko with a sobbing sound.
Sarah thinks, “Jadi ... Ardy Wiranata it is ... Grandpa's own son?”
The girl still did not believe it completely.
“Grandpa sure the baby is ... Son Ardy. Blood meat Grandpa.”
“ ... and that means ... between Sarah and Ardy it still has a sibling relationship?” there was a tinge of disappointment implied in Sarah's tone of voice, “dia Uncle Sarah ... “
“Excuse grandpa, yes, Cu!”
Sarah hugged her grandfather tightly.
Sarah's mother hugged her father.
“Now, Grandpa decided to stay for a while with you guys here, because ... “ Mbah Suko hesitates to continue his speech.
“What else is it, Sir?” ask Sarah's mother to be curious.
“The child is in danger ... “
“How dangerous, Cake?” Sarah cut off her grandfather's words.
“Entahlah, Grandpa is still trying to make sure. Besides, there's something weird that Grandpa saw in that kid.”
Sarah and her mother were getting curious.
“What's weird, Cake?”
“The child seems to see something that no one else can see.”
“Meanings Grandpa?”
“Did Ardy ever tell you that he saw certain figures, Cu?”
Sarah thinks and tries to remember, “True. Sarah used to witness Ardy's strange behavior. He said he saw a crazy person. Initially Sarah thought, Ardy was just hallucinating. But after hearing Grandpa's words earlier, it feels right also that Ardy ... indeed often see the figure in question!”
“It is true what the boy saw, Cu. The figure is none other than .. his grandfather Ardy himself, Karyadi's father, as well as the father-in-law of your Grandpa this .. “ continued Mbah Suko felt confident this time.
“For what his father Mr Karyadi often appeared to Ardy, Kek?” in this case Sarah is a bit misunderstood and does not enter the logic.
“Grandfather, right, said .. the figure was just a creature resembling his grandfather Ardy. After all, in the past, his father Karyadi was not an arbitrary person.”
Sarah and her mother did not ask back. They know that Mbah Suko does have a science of kanuragan that makes him able to communicate with the inhabitants of other dimensions.
“We should just pray, may Mr. Karyadi's sacrifice not increase and he immediately repents to God,” Mbah Suko said while closing his eyes deeply.
Meanwhile, Ardy is apparently in the Trio Cs boarding house; David, Jocky and Boma. The young man deliberately visited their place, just to ease the burden of his heart which was covered by various problems at home due to the treatment of Mrs Amanda.
“Udah night, Dy. Elo not afraid if later home kemaleman will be diomelin nyokap elo?” ask Jocky to Ardy.
“It makes no difference, Jok! Go home or not, for me the same. Every day Mama always just looking for my mistakes,” replied Ardy slowly.
“Ya, already. If so elo nginep only here the same we-us. No, the chicken coop is still empty. Make elo!” timpal Boma's.
David poked Boma's stomach with his elbow. Of course the boy grimaced in pain.
“Why, anyway, elo? Pain know!” exclaimed Boma while holding his fat stomach.
David glared fiercely.
“About, dong, by the way! We're sad again, you know! Selo time talking about the origin of goblek only, anyway?” david pretended to be angry.
This kid is just looking in front of Ardy. To be impressed with the hope of being bought dinner for the night.
“Know the Fat! Be careful, elo! If you want, you sleep in sono's chicken coop, gih! Mating all the Auntie chickens who are still virgins! Guaranteed chicken eggs will be big-bede kayak elo as the bokapnya eggs!” timpal Jocky sneered.
“Damn you on! Am I married a chicken? Don't you think the two of you like to mate with chickens?! The evidence lately aunty chickens often lay eggs. Skinny again like both!” boma reply did not want to lose.
Hearing Boma's taunts, David and Jocky compactly clocked his head. The fat boy again grimaced in pain.
Ardy just smiled at the behavior of his three friends.
“Already, ah! Don't joke around mutely. Later a real storm again,” Ardy mediate, “gue want to unplug, deh! Yes malem, yes!”
“Kot nginep lo, Dy?” ask David really.
“Thank you, deh! I don't feel very good. Afraid there's nothing at home. Yuk, ah, I go home first!” Ardy got up from his seat and stepped outside the room.
“Jok .. “ call David half whisper.
“What?” jocky didn't understand.
The tip of David's eyes pointed at the figure of Ardy who had started to move away.
“Apaan, anyway? I mean, I'm not!” Jocky gave up after repeatedly trying to guess the meaning of the glances of David's eyes.
“Your father, ah!”
“Iya, whatan, dong?”
“We run off our malem dinner!”
Jocky chuckles and just understands.
“Sotoy lu, ah!”
“Lagian elo not say!”
“Yes, lovely ****!”
“Elo too!”
