The Story of an Early Marriage

Fourteen Composition

During the day the atmosphere in the ancient temple belonging to Eyang Jiwo is more pleasant.  I began to feel the beauty of nature that was never dull. Each of my eyes looked around this old and ancient landscape as if it were fused with natural life. The atmosphere of ancient and natural life was still felt in this place. I had time to explore around here just walk with Senopati Adi Raka guided by a member of Eyang Jiwo. The life is still very natural, where the young men descend into the fields using only traditional tools. Or there are shepherds who ride on buffalo backs with flutes that are always blown. His voice was so loud and full of calm. Farmers looking for grass for their livestock food. Or the mothers who are looking for tree branches as fuel is a very beautiful atmosphere to see.

"You seem to enjoy nature here, Feby, a lot" said Senopati's mother Adi Raka, as we gathered for lunch in a hall.

"From time I always loved this kind of atmosphere, Mom."

"You are truly one taste with Senopati Adi Raka," Senopati's mother Adi Raka responded to my words.

"That's a sign of an arranged marriage between you can't be ignored anymore" said Senopati's father Adi Raka.

I'm just worried about the repercussions this marriage might have. Sooner or later surely the Wibisono family the father of Handsome Charming will retaliate by all means. They're conglomerates who can do anything.

"Of course Mom. But I have to go through the fourteen forms of offerings that will be done by Eyang Jiwo. If everything materializes it is certain that the marriage will be carried out as soon as possible," I said.

Both Senopati parents Adi Raka nodded at my words. They may realize how great a risk must be borne if the fourteen offerings fail but marriage has already taken place. My parents and handsome Menawan parents will attack all-out Senopati Adi Raka who will also affect both parents. The law and the police will play their part here. Senopati Adi Raka's family will go to prison and Eyang Jiwo and his men involved will get sap as well.

"At this time we are waiting for Eyang Jiwo to have lunch together as well as talk about the offerings of fourteen forms. He will also introduce the village girl who somewhat resembles Miss Feby," said Rendy who had listened to my conversation with Senopati's parents Adi Raka.

"So that person is already there" Senopati said Adi Raka.

"There's been. Eyang Jiwo had found the village girl whose height and face and discussed the body that almost resembles Miss Feby," replied Rendy.

"So there is no need for fourteen offerings if it is similar" said Senopati's mother Adi Raka.

I think so too. If there is already a village girl who resembles me for what the offering of fourteen forms is carried out. But I want to confirm Rendy's answer.

"Semitting does not mean the same. The offering of fourteen forms will still be carried out to perfect the similarities and copy the recordings in Miss Feby's brain so as not to be awkward to face her new life as a substitute for people's lives" Rendy replied.

Understand me now with that answer. So the person who will replace me later is all the same as me. He will also copy my life in the days that have passed in order to be able to adapt.

Soon enough, Eyang Jiwo also appeared from the south of his padepokan. There were some people who appeared to be accompanying him. Two girls with waist-length hair and a middle-aged man and two young men behind him.

We greet Eyang Jiwo with great solemnity, he greeted both Senopati parents Adi Raka before sitting in the prepared place. I noticed the girl who had just come with Eyang Jiwo. White and tall, she looked beautiful with her hair down. Is that girl what Rendy meant as a person who resembles me. But I judge he's not too similar to me.

"Later tonight there will be fourteen offerings, hopefully everything is ready," Eyang Jiwo began his conversation after sitting down for a while.

"Sorry Eyang! Who is involved in the offering of the fourteen forms," asked Senopati's father Adi Raka.

"All of us who are here are involved in the offering of fourteen forms" replied Eyang Jiwo. "Only the main doer of the fourteen-fold offering was two girls. The first is certainly Feby Romance and the second is Ayu Laksmi the village girl who has been chosen as the girl who is presented."

"Include me Ayu Laksmi son of Mr. Suryo," said a girl who sat on the left side of Eyang Jiwo.

"I am Ayu Laksmi's father, Mr. Suryo," said the middle-aged man sitting next to the girl named Ayu Laksmi.

"And the two young men beside me are Jimah and Romi - both of them that will be the attraction for the four-tiered women who will touch Ayu Laksmi so that there is no difference with Feby Romance" explains Eyang Jiwo.

"Include me Romi," said the young man in question Eyang Jiwo introduced himself.

"I'm Feby Romance" I said, introducing myself.

"I'm Senoapati Adi Raka, Feby's betrothed" Senoapti Adi Raka said.

Not to forget that both of my parents also introduced themselves.

"What is our role as Senopati's parents Adi Raka at the offering event Eyang," Senopati's mother tried to ask questions.

"Give blessing to the aura of fourteen forms whose faces are the same as Feby Romance" replied Eyang Jiwo. "The same role applies to Ayu Laksmi's father. While Dio and Rendy act as media bearers for the emergence of the aura of fourteen forms."

"My role is Eyang" asked Senopati Adi Raka.

"As a reinforcement for the continuity of the offering because you love Feby Romance so much" replied Eyang Jiwo.

One thing that bothered me and became my question was the possibility that I could return to the middle of my parents' family if you miss them later. What should I do. Can I be myself again in the midst of that family for even a day. Will Ayu Laksmi see me if that's what I do. Or he was late in a different life from village life so forgotten, especially one day he married Handsome Charming conglomerate boy. I want to ask this kind of thing to Eyang Jiwo but I am afraid to offend many people including Senopati Adi Raka of course he will question the harshness of me running the offering.
