The Mistaken Son-in-law

CHAPTER 68

Pov (Aisha)

      I was a lot of attention after the return of my mother-in-law, actually I did not want to behave like that to him but some days my mood is not stable. Maybe because of pregnancy hormones and problems that occur late in this.

Surely my mother-in-law will not stay silent for my treatment that dares to fight him, let if he complains to Mas Arya anyway I just defend myself.

I'm still wondering who exactly told Wulan and what she meant to tell him. From recording their conversation that he asked for my recipe but what for? He also wants me to go bankrupt. Could it be that he was also selling like me, I don't know thinking about it made my head hurt.

Honestly I was disappointed in Wulan, but I was very sympathetic to her because of the story that made me feel sorry for her that made my heart moved to help her. Because I'm also an orphan like him and he has to support his younger siblings. But it turns out that he just made up stories to draw my sympathies and accepted him to work here.

Hopefully Wulan and the woman who told him to get caught quickly, as well as Siska who is still at large until now so that they can account for their actions.

I am grateful for the poisoning incident a few days ago, my stall is still crowded and the victims do not become virtualized because they have been responsible and pay compensation. In the future I have to be more careful to the people who will work for me. This house and the stall have been fitted with CCTV except in the bathroom. I can't be helped anymore.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, the court has just completed the sentencing hearing which will be accepted by Mr. Rudi and Mr. Merry. They were found guilty, Mr. Rudi got a prison sentence of twenty years and a fine of ten billion rupiahs, ms. Merry was sentenced to five years in prison and fined one billion for enjoying the proceeds of money laundering. Police are still pursuing Siska, who is still at large.

Mr. Rudi only resigned to accept the verdict of the judge, while Ms. Merry was hysterical and did not accept the verdict. She still insists that she was not involved because she did not know her husband was laundering money.

"Sorry yes if long, because I was waiting for my friend who shifts afternoon first and shift operands". Said Santi to Rani who was waiting for him in front of the minimarket where he worked.

Rani uses Hoodie, sunglasses, mask and hat. She wears a short skirt because her knees still hurt. Knees are already closed hopa*fix.

"What's wrong, I'm just here too". Answer Rani flat.

"Yes, we're walking now so we don't go last". Santi.

"What are we going up to your village?" Ask Rani.

"Later we take angkot to the terminal to take a bus to the district after that continue using village transportation because my village is a bit remote, continue walking to Mak Ijah's house". Santi Obviously.

"That's really complicated to have to change - change vehicles, can - can faint me on the road what else should take public transportation crowded with good people. I've never used public transport, it must have smelled a lot". Rani said with disgusted expectations.

"Yes, that should be like that if you want to go to my village. So what are you going up to?". Santi said, he was a little annoyed by the behavior of Rani who was rich.

"It's up to the important thing to quickly arrive and not use public transportation as you said, just imagine it I'm going to vomit". Rani said while poking around.

"We can use gr*ab but the cost is more expensive". Santi said again.

"Well use that, about the cost do not have to worry. How much I pay". Rani said arrogantly.

"It's up to you". Reply Santi flat.

Not how many gr*abs ordered by Rani have come and take them to Santi's hometown. They did not stop to eat because Rani had already bought snacks and drinks, they just stopped for gas and defecate.

After traveling about three hours more they reached the gate of Santi village. It's night time, time has shown at nine o'clock.

They went down because to reach Mak Ijah's house they had to walk because the road could not be passed by a car. Although Santi village is quite remote but there is already an internet network even though it is not as fast as in the city.

Santi fell silent and stared at something.

"Come on the hunt, you're looking at what the hell? From yesterday continues. Even this lo area but you still can kesambet especially in the village more ghosts". Rani said in horror.

Santi just silently did not respond, his gaze glared forward staring at the garden surrounded by bamboo fences, his eyes looked dewy.

"Oh, yeah, don't have to be mewek. Cepetan us to the shaman's house, I've been bitten by mosquitoes". Rani complains while scratching her smooth calf.

They walked through the gardens - the gardens of the people, the atmosphere of the village was quiet because it had just run out of rain, the streets were muddy.

Finally they reached an old hut that was illuminated by a pelita in the forest. Rani feels goosebumps because Mak Ijah's house is exactly like the haunted house in the horror movie she once watched.

"Is this really his house? How am I gonna get goosebumps?" Tanya Rani was scared.

"Yes this is true even though I have not returned home for a long time but I am sure this is his home because only Mak Ijah's house is in this forest. Let's hunt us there". Take Santi, Rani chasing Santi who has gone first.

"Excuse me Mak" Santi said, knocking on the door.

Not how long the door creaked, then appeared an old woman who wore a model kebaya and rags, all white hair and chewing betel.

Rani goosebumps to see the old woman, exactly the ghost of the grandmothers in the horror film.

"Please enter nduk". Said the old woman who is Mak Ijah the Paraji or child shaman invite Santi and Rani in.

Inside quite brightly derived from petromak lights, goods in the house Mak Ijah is still old school all no television or other electronic goods. Electricity does not exist, Rani is not out of thought in this modern era there are still people who can live without technology.

"So this is Mak, the purpose of our arrival here is to..". Santi.

"I don't know your purpose, if a young woman comes here, it will be sure to get pregnant. Snicker". Cut Mak Ijah chuckled while brushing his teeth with betel.

"How many months?" Ask Mak Ijah to Rani.

Rani looks shocked because Mak Ijah knows that she is pregnant even though she or Santi have not told her.

"You need to be surprised so, Mak wrestled this job for almost fifty years so Mak know which women are pregnant and which are not". Said Mak Ijah while grinning.

"Sus.. It's been two months Mak". Rani answered nervously.

"Not to be afraid, just calm down. Mak can help you, as long as you can get paid. Are you willing?" Ask Mak Ijah.

"Yes, my mother has prepared the money". Rani answered and took a thick brown envelope and gave it to the child shaman.

Mak Ijah immediately took the brown envelope from Rani's hand and looked at the contents. He chuckled and grinned that showed his teeth blackish red from chewing betel nut too often.

Mak Ijah then told Rani to take off her clothes and give her a rag to cover her body. Rani then sleeps on a thin mattress with both legs straddled.

I don't know what Mak Ijah put into kema*Rani needs that clearly feel hot and pedis. Like being given chili powder, Rani wanted to shout but Mak Ijah told her to bite the cloth roll. Rani's tears dripped because Mak Ijah was like hacking into her - kema'bok*nya need. Santi grimaced to see what Rani was going through.

Finished hacking - kema*luan belonging to Rani, the child shaman told Rani to squat. Santi immediately helped his friend to squat, Mak Ijah then told Rani to finish the potion made by him. I don't know what the potion is made of but the smell makes nausea. Rani drank the potion until it ran out and tried not to vomit.

Not long after drinking the potion, Rani felt her stomach twisting tight. Sweat pours heavily on his forehead, he then groans in pain, not long from the hole kema*necessity out a lump of meat about the size of a thumb resembling a chicken ati. Mak Ijah quickly took the lump and wrapped it in a cloth and stored it in a small container.

Rani is drowning and unconscious. Santi panicked to see Rani fainting.

"Why is my friend?" Santi asked in panic.

"He just fainted from exhaustion, let him rest. You stay here for tonight, tomorrow morning you're going back to the city where you live". Mak Ijah answered while cleaning up Rani's needs, after which he went back to clean himself and rest.

Santi looked at Rani with pity, he wiped the sweat on Rani's forehead and covered her body with a blanket given by Mak Ijah, then Santi slept beside her. Fortunately tomorrow he had no courses and entered work late afternoon, he also contacted his aunt if he stayed at his friend's house for college work. At least her aunt wasn't worried because she didn't come home.

Seriate.
