The Red-robed Woman's Revenge

Between two heavy choices?

Larasati turned her face towards the old man, suddenly her figure disappeared in the night mist. Larasati looked in all directions looking for the whereabouts of the man, until finally both eyes were fixed towards the open door of the mosque. With a limped step Larasati walked to the front of the mosque, until his footsteps stopped right in front of the door.

"No Baras, you're despicable and sinful, you don't deserve to be in that sacred place." Larasati sobbed on his knees outside the mosque.

His heart was filled with immense guilt, but the cruelty of Juragan Suripto had blinded his eyes. He returned to that haunted forest, his cries breaking out in the dark forest interior. His half-hearted wish was to repent and return to the path of truth, but considering that Juragan Suripto was still alive, and to deceive his mother. Larasati does not accept and is determined to eliminate the man, he stands with prosthetic eyes calling a supernatural being from his nature..

A flash of lightning striking a gust of strong wind shook the entire tree, the queen of darkness appeared with a terrifying gaze. It turns out that the old man's woe did not make his grudge on Suripto Juragan subsided, now he again made a deal with Kanjeng Ratu Ageng Sedo. Larasati knelt under her feet, her eyes teary for help.

"My Queen please help me, without your devotion, I am incapable of anything, my revenge is not fully avenged, and now my mother's life is under threat." Pinta Larasati rests by holding both hands together in front of the chest.

"What will you offer me? you can't even forget how you felt about Kangmas Adinata, and now you're begging me for something you can't give me!."

"Whatever the Queen Kanjeng, for the sake of my mother's life I am ready to give anything, my life my life, even my feelings for Adinata mas I will relinquish for you."

"Your life is worth nothing to me, you are a vengeful girl who is no longer holy, and your feelings are not worth the price of my devotion. Don't you love your mother very much, she's pregnant right now, and I want a baby in her belly. Present the baby to me after he was born into this world, do you agree to this agreement?." Ask her with a slanted smile.

Larasati's heart skipped a beat, what the ruler of darkness wanted was no joke. To save her mother's life, she must pay with the life of her future sister who has not been born into the world. Bowed with a heavy breath, Larasati begged to give her another option.

"Ta but Kanjeng, what's wrong with the baby, why should he be the victim for my mother's safety."

"Of course there is a harm, the baby was born from the seed of a young man. His father has done a lot of wrongs, is it not natural that the baby should make up for all his father's crimes!." Kanjeng Ratu shouted with his eyes round.

Larasati was silent in a thousand languages, her tears flowing down her beautiful face. No one had to offer an innocent baby, but Larasati had to choose to keep Kanjeng Ratu Ageng Sedo to help her.

"Your residence has two meanings, whether you agree or not. If you really want your mother to survive, of course you will accept my terms. Besides, if the shaman the man sent managed to harm your mother, you'd lose both. Because that shaman would've wiped out your mother's life, and the baby in her belly would've gone with her." The words of the ruler of darkness made Larasati's heart jerk.

It seems that the girl is getting worse faced with two realities, whatever she chooses will make a burden for herself.

...Seriate....
