The Rewarded Revenge

Who Mbah Sastro

"Mar." a middle-aged man probably the age of the Kurdish mang called out to Damar

Damar who was resting with other workers suddenly turned to the source of the voice, seen a man running in a row to meet Damar.

"What's wrong, le?" ask Damar

"I saw you drive home last night Mbah Sastro, opo right?" asked the middle-aged man to make sure

No doubt hearing the question from the middle-aged man who wore caping made all the construction workers of Riana's house turn their heads, especially the old workers.

"Aren't opo ora Panjul?" ask the Kurdish mang to the middle-aged man named Panjul

"Wes right, wong I saw for myself last night Damar hogging Mbah Sastro" said Panjul

"Really le?" ask one of the older workers

His age is old, but he still desperate to help the construction of the house of the late Pramono family on the grounds of wanting to return the favor, the old man was named Mbah Bayan.

In the past, the Pramono family often helped him, which made Mbah Bayan remain adamant to help. Although other workers forbid because of his old age, but Mbah Bayan did not care.

"True Mbah." said Damar while nodding

The reply made the middle-aged workers shocked.

"He came, what does this mean..." Panjul is unable to continue his speech

Mbah Bayan just nodded while looking at Damar, while the confused Damar only furrowed his brows.

"What is this really about?" ask Damar

Mbah Bayan who saw the confusion on the face of Damar also felt pity, he also tried to explain.

"Now no one knows whether Sastro was human or not, just that he used to be an ordinary human just like us. And he fell in love with the village girl, so did the village girl...

But on the first night unbeknownst to Sastro, the young villagers harass Danu until he faints. Back then, anger and resentment ruled Danu's mind...

He also vowed to make this village a dead village, and eliminate all its inhabitants. And that very night, he went to the forbidden forest and became ruler there. He is commonly referred to as Nyi Danu, it is said that whoever calls his name will die.

For months, this village was attacked with a variety of deadly shipments so that residents gradually died...

At that time, Sastro was also imprisoned in the ocean to gain power and stop the terror in this village. That's why, no one knows if Sastro is still human or not. It's just that rumors circulate that he is also the ruler of the ocean" said Mbah Bayan at length

"What happened then?" ask Damar

"After a long time, Sastro returned with a different appearance. Even his strength was very powerful, at that time Sastro, as well as some other indigenous elders tried to fight Nyi Danu....

Long enough to finally succeed, but did not succeed completely. Because at that time, Danu said in the future there will be a woman who will destroy this village again....

Sastro could see that, and Sastro said that one day there would be men who would stop the woman. And when that time has come, then Sastro himself who will come directly to see the man...

Like that, the traditional elders told residents to evacuate the village next door. Somehow the story, once this village was destroyed even for a long time the residents let this village become a dead village...

We are elders who are trying to brave ourselves to restore this village, until it becomes like this" said Mbah Bayan

"Then what does this have to do with me Mbah." said Damar

But Mbah Bayan just stared at Damar with a difficult gaze to interpret.

"Later on when Sastro invites you to practice, just follow le. All this for the sake of this village, you understand anyway." said Mbah Bayan

"I will do anything for this village." said Damar steady

After the conversation, they continued their work.
