The Mystery of Teen Marriage

Gathering

City: 06 August 2001.

That night! Two different creatures. Tracing the path. Towards a lush forest. From 22:00, the two left a village, headed for the forest.

Ban forest! Yes, they are Renata and Iskandar sir. Son and father. Renata's only child, her mother had died 3 years ago.

Accidental. The Renata Junior High. Mr. Iskandar took Renata to a place so quiet. Far from the crowd. Moreover, it's a thick night.

Only the sound of animals was heard, as well as the barking of the coyote.The fur of Renata stood. The girl's hand, holding the hand of her father who was walking in front. Renata, glanced back many times. He felt that someone was following him. But, looking back.  He saw nothing but solid colors.

The large leaves of the leaves had covered the path they had traveled. Even if the clock shows at 22:00 as if it would be midnight. Audible******** are creepy.

Very scary. If you are alone in the forest.  Impossible to do. Because I was so scared.

Big tree, towering.  Roots of trees, out of the ground.  There were also, some banyan trees, which were large in size standing with their boulders. Banyan tree. Very creepy.

Moreover, small hair hair sprung up on each branch of the tree. Renata, shuddered many times.  Every time I hear a strange sound. But, Mr. Iskandar is not. Men, who are about 5 heads older.  Walk without fear. He walked as if in the daytime. Dark atmosphere, does not make the heart of Mr. Iskandar ciut.

In fact, Mr. Iskandar is happy.  Because this Friday night, is the determination of the life he and his daughter are living. In fact, he was so eager to enter the forest even deeper. His heart, the more flowering the flower when it knows.  If tonight, it's the final act to keep Renata away from Rey.

Renata is not thinking. He did not know what his father had in mind.Night at night, like this instead of in the house. The forest he was pointing at, made the pretty girl's guts faint.

Especially that night. It's Kliwon Friday night! Friday night according to people. Shetan and his friends roam around looking for victims.

Whether true or not. It's just an old man's word. But, the deeper inside came Renata like smelling something. Stinging nose.

The Roman feather Renata arrived to his feet. The distinctive smell of frankincense still accompanied the steps of the two of them. Perhaps, if modern humans, would not believe the ravings of the mystical world.

Because according to modern people, it is impossible if in this advanced era, there must be jinn, shetan, and other subtle creatures.

Not that he doesn't believe. There are two worlds that God created. That is, real life and supernatural life.

The path they were walking on, was a path leading to a forest. Forced Renata can only hold his father's shirt from behind.

Yes, this trip Renata is ahead.  His father was behind Renata. The bushes cover the journey. Moreover, Mr. Iskandar did not carry a lantern. During the trip they were silent.

Mr. Iskandar just took Renata away. At first, Renata refused. But, Mr. Iskandar insisted.  Without, mentioning the place they were headed to.

At that time, Mr. Iskandar invited Renata. At that time, Renata had been sleeping since Isya. This morning, he went to school until 13:00. After that, do the extracurricular first in school. Going home from school at 17:00, he was going to take a break.  But, his father invited Renata to perform the ritual. Drinking the liquid that Renata did not know what it was. The ritual, performed every Thursday afternoon.

Even though, he was lazy to do it. Renata just followed. Because free.  Refusing any, her father would have forced her like three months ago. His father, forced to drink a liquid that smelled rancid.  Almost, Renata spewed out the liquid because of nausea and disgust.

Lazily, Renata finally follows her father into the forest. Yeah, this is the first time Renata's been in the woods. Initially, Mr. Iskandar asked Renata to go alone. But, Renata was shivering with fear.

The girl's mind floated, if she went alone. Through the forest without anyone's company. Yeah, they're finally gone too. Renata asks where he is going and his destination, his father is silent.

Forced. Renata, don't find out even if curious. Even so, Renata asked her father several times to come home.But whining, Renata was not harried by the father.

Renata's whimper, only heard by the left ear, came out again from the right ear. A forest, far from the reach of the villagers.

Perhaps, some villagers would not dare to visit the forest, especially on a quiet night like this.

Boro boro night. During the day, humans rarely enter the forest. What'd you try for? Moreover, a night like this, except?

But, Mr. Iskandar.  Don't mind the call, Renata.  To go back home. The night, which began to creep.

The wind is getting cold. It began to infiltrate the bones and skin, making Renata's lips tremble, resisting the cold.  Because the air in the forest was so cold at night.

Maybe even if it was cold.  Because, many trees are broad-leaved. And the trees are close to each other.

In a cottage in the woods. The cottage, made of boards that began to weathered. Eaten age. Might as well. The size of the cottage was only 3x3m².

Inside the hut, there was a smell of frankincense that stung the nose. Yes, long ago. In the countryside, or the countryside.  If Tuesday and Friday night, it will be used as a ritual to burn incense.

I don't know? what for! According to them, the incense smoke. Food of the spirits who have been buried for a long time. Right or not. It's just someone's belief.

Both. Mr. Iskandar and Renata, have reached the front of the cottage. Then the man knocked on the door of the cottage. Meanwhile, Renata just looked around.

Somebody, get out of the cabin. An old man in black clothes, wearing the same suit as his shirt.

Because of the dark surrounding. Renata, can't see clearly.  The figure of the old man, the owner of the cottage in the middle of the forest.

In the heart of the girl, asked. Why, there are still people who want to live in the middle of the forest.  Without lights like electricity.

Without, he was told to enter Iskandar and Renata entered the club. Followed the old man, from behind. Old man.  Please leave Mr. Iskandar, to sit near the burning of incense. The inappropriate cottage!  To inhabit. Because, some of the cottage collapsed. Unrepairable by the owner.

The stool, which is made of bamboo looks old and weathered. The cottage wall. So attentive. Inside it was worse.

A bench, without a form. Barking in a dim corner of the room. In the middle of the room. There was a small smoke, from an incense stick, which the owner burned.

Mr. Iskandar and Renata, finally sitting in front of the incense stick, are still seen leaving a small smoke. While sitting down, Renata closed her body to her father's body. Mr. Iskandar was just silent when his daughter grabbed his body.*
