Traveling to the Unseen Realm

85. Kyai Ireng's

Daeng Payau's loud voice made Kyai Ireng and Aldi surprised and turned to the source of the voice.

Their surprise increased when they saw Erwin was with Daeng Payau. However, Aldi did not want Erwin to report the action to the factory owner and cause him to lose his job later.

While Kyai Ireng quite know Erwin because often visit the factory.

Seeing Kyai Ireng up close made Erwin shake his head. He did not expect that the village elder he respected was the mastermind of the death of one of his co-workers.

The timber factory was indeed standing on land that had been purchased by the owner of the company. The land was originally part of the village where Kyai Ireng lived. Because he appreciated the position of the kyai who was poured in the village, the company owner decided to give monthly money similar to a salary to Kyai Ireng even though the kyai did not do any work.

The owner of the company just asked Kyai Ireng to help 'watch' the safety of the factory from afar.

At first everything went well. Until then the needs of life are increasing while the task of the kyai is getting heavier.

Kyai Ireng returned to his old job of being a shaman who helped mislead people.

Erwin who knew kyai Ireng as a wise figure, considered kyai Ireng as a village elder because he knew the ins and outs of the village around the factory including the history of the establishment of the wood factory.

" Kyai Ireng...?" call Erwin.

" I. yes Mas Er. win..," said Kyai Ireng nervous.

" So this is all Kyai did ?. Why does Kyai do this. What salary from the company is still lacking Kyai. Kyai could say the same to me. I promise I will help you talk to the company later," said Erwin riled.

" Erwin doesn't know what I want. The money from this company is too small to pay for my sacrifice." said Kyai Ireng.

" What sacrifice does Kyai mean...?" asked Erwin not to understand.

Kyai Ireng looked irritated. He looked at the entire factory with a smile.

" Do you know where the prosperity of this factory came from ?. I was the one who had made this factory stand up handsome until now so big like this..," said Kyai Ireng while patting his chest.

" What does Kyai mean, I'm sorry if I don't understand where Kyai's talking is going" Erwin said.

" The company can be large and grow rapidly because it relies on this factory. And the sheer size of the company makes business rivals out there panic. I'm the one who comes forward, guarding and protecting the factory from enemies or business rivals who try to play behind. But what do they give?, just a thank you and a stale base. They think I can't get what I want. If they can utilize my ability to guard this factory, I can also utilize them. So we break even, there is energy there is money. Now do you understand Mas Erwin...?" asked Kyai Ireng while smiling meaningfully.

Erwin seemed to shake his head after hearing Kyai Ireng's explanation. Just being disappointed in some people, has made Kyai Ireng dark-eyed. He could topple the factory employees as a condition of the pesugihan ritual that he embraced.

" You're overreacting Ireng. There's nothing in here that makes you have to intervene. There's no supernatural attack like you said. You're just making it up. You said a lot of shit because you wanted to cover your real face. Aren't you...?" quipped Daeng Payau with a cynical smile.

Kyai Ireng also laughed because he realized he would not be able to trick Daeng Payau.

" If you already know, what do you want Daeng ?. Don't be a bad luck hero here. This is my territory, so appreciate me. Go away and don't bother..," drive kyai Ireng away with her arrogance.

" Sadly I don't want to go to Ireng. I will stay here and keep you out of here forever." Daeng Payau said firmly.

" I said go Daeng...!" kyai Ireng.

" You've exceeded Ireng's limits !. You hurt innocent people just for wanting to fulfill your ambition. I'm aware of Ireng. Haven't lost your family enough yet...!" daeng Payau was angry.

" Yes, I did do it Daeng. That's because they don't care about me. I am the ruler of this village. But they never appreciated my existence. I'm sick of being just a show. I'll prove if I can make a mess in this factory they're proud of...!" sahut kyai Ireng out loud.

A fight between Daeng Payau and Kyai Ireng was inevitable. Everyone pulled over because they did not want to be the victim of the two great fighters' wrong targets.

At the time of the fight, suddenly the machine where Aini crashed yesterday seemed to shake. The flowers scattered on the machine shook, shifted and fell to the floor.

Somehow along with the vibrating engine makes the air around them feel cooler.

" Erwin, Galih, back off...!" ustadz Rahman said suddenly.

Erwin and Galih followed Ustadz Rahman away from the battle arena. While Aldi is still loyal to be around the battle arena and do not realize if there is a danger that lurks.

And as everyone focused on observing Daeng Payau's battle with kyai Ireng, suddenly the saw blade in one of the machines came off by itself.

The rumbling sound that sounded did not make everyone turn to the source of the sound. All just turned his head when the one-meter-long saw blade floated quickly towards the back of Aldi's head and slashed his neck until almost broken.

When the saw blade slashed his neck, there was no scream from Aldi's mouth. Apparently when that happened Aldi's life immediately floated away. Only the sound of Aldi's body collapsing to the floor was heard followed by a rapid pool of blood around the wound on Aldi's neck.

" Inna Lillahi wainna ilaihi rojiuun.", said ustadz Rahman, Erwin and Galih together.

Even Erwin seemed shocked to witness Aldi's tragic death. His body trembled violently and both eyes stared pusar towards Aldi's body lying on the floor.

" Lo gapwhat's Win...?" ask Galih while looking at Erwin fixedly.

" I gapapa..," said Erwin quickly.

And after Erwin finished his sentence, at the same time there was a scream of pain kyai Ireng. Apparently Daeng Payau managed to injure Kyai Ireng.

Erwin stared in horror at Kyai Ireng who was then seen kneeling while lamenting his hands.

Daeng Payau successfully injured Kyai Ireng by paralyzing the muscles in both arms. And now Kyai Ireng's hands look like two objects hanging helplessly because they can not be moved at all. Not stiff but pliable, soft as boneless.

Many times Kyai Ireng screamed and begged Daeng Payau to restore the condition of his hand. But Daeng Payau apparently did not want to give the opportunity to kyai Ireng to recover.

" It's too late !. At first I just wanted to bully you. But seeing one more victim has fallen because of you, I don't think I can anymore. It is not I who have the right to forgive you later, but God. Repent Ireng. It is possible that God will still give you the time and opportunity to make up for all your mistakes" Daeng Payau said, wiping the sweat on his face.

" Don't leave me Daeng. Forgive Me. Please give me my hand back. I promise I won't repeat it again..," groaned kyai Ireng.

" I've also heard this kind of promise from your mouth. But where is the evidence ?. After all you repeated it again, somewhere else, even worse," Daeng Payau said as he shook his head.

After saying that Daeng Payau approached ustadz Rahman. Then led by the ustadz, the four of them dhikr together.

And something happened. The dark aura and mystical air that surrounded the factory slowly dissipated. The silence that makes the feathers bristled was no longer replaced with the sound of crickets that are mutually unpretentious out there.

" How does Aldi Om's body go...?" erwin asked confused.

" Report it as a work accident, because Aldi died while on duty. The authentic evidence in his body is more than enough to explain everything." Daeng Payau said.

Erwin nodded and tried to contact the police. And without everyone realizing it, Kyai Ireng quietly left the factory.
