Triangle (Driehoek)
Tragedy in the Silent Period Part II
Sobri goes awry, releasing Anna to be the wife of the begal leader and letting her live a life that may be worse than before, or cracking down on the begal that must have resulted in a big commotion. In addition, no less important, Anna will also definitely hate her and Wulan even more.
Not only Sobri, the people around Anna's residence began to fret about the dark relationship, but so far they did not dare to open their voices considering the magic of the begal.
Not enough to get there, soon a number of villagers returned to complain to Sobri because now the begal is not just "looking" to Anna's house, but it also begins to annoy the villagers where Anna lives.
Until finally at one point Sobri decided to act immediately, because after some time he got information that the begal were planning to attack his house.
Pretending to be on vacation, Sobri takes Wulan and their two-year-old son Sastro for a walk to Jakarta, while the two Ponakan Wulan who were married at that time asked to evacuate to their family homes outside the district.
In Jakarta Sobri met some Dutch people who became business partners with him. Sobri asked his colleagues for a solution to maintain peace in the village controlled by begal.
Then his colleagues also introduced him to a champion from East Java named Probo.
After arranging a scheme with Probo and his colleagues, Sobri brought a joint force of dozens of native champions, and some Dutch soldiers back to where he lived.
At that time the begal leader and his group had succeeded in attacking Sobri's house, and it was predicted Sobri before leaving for Jakarta.
Having found neither Sobri nor his family, they looted only valuables and soon returned to the village where Anna lived.
Sobri and his group chase and make a surprise attack at night. There was a fierce battle that night. Dozens of people were killed and dozens wounded from both sides, including from villagers who sided with Sobri. But with a very mature strategy the begal who fought recklessly soon fall, until finally only the begal leader is left named Dadang, namely Anna's lover.
Dadang did not want to give up, retreated while fighting, until finally cornered on the edge of a river bottom.
Although already cornered but not a single weapon that can hurt Dadang and no one can conquer the stealth style because.
Seeing this, Probo also advanced to challenge him one-on-one.
One-on-one fighting happened, really fierce because both warriors have qualified magic. After almost an hour each other issued a magic and various silat styles, both the kujang (sharp weapon of a kind of dagger) heirloom belonging to Dadang and the magic kris belonging to Probo fought for the umpteenth time and then bounced and drowned in the bottom of the river.
After fighting without weapons, Probo looks desperate and finally managed to be thrown by Dadang into the river. However once Probo has not given up and immediately swim to the edge.
Unwilling to give an opportunity to the opponent, Dadang chased Probo, whose body was still in the water. Dadang did not know that it was a Probo strategy to fall into the water. Unbeknownst to Dadang, Probo is a student of a teacher whose ancestors used to study in the padepokan where Kebo Anabrang practiced (Kebo Anabrang \= one of the Majapahit knights in the era of Raden Wijaya).
In the water, there were rarely warriors who could compensate for their magic and fighting abilities. Their catches and pitings are like clamping pliers that cannot be released.
Then that's how Dadang was not able to free himself from the grip of Probo's hand. And the history of Dadang ended up out of breath after being immersed in water by Probo.
After the begal was defeated, Sobri family and the residents of both villages, namely the village where Sobri lived and the village where Anna lived were rejoicing. There is no longer a threat from the ferocious begal that has often satronized the villages around Ciremai mountain.
Here, Nyi Sari stopped telling stories, then drank tea in her glass.
"For his success, Probo was given a large piece of land, it was located here, where I live now, "he said smiling.
Aris was flabbergasted, had not lost his admiration for the epic story that had just been told Nyi Sari, now he was amazed because it turned out that Nyi Sari was a direct descendant of a powerful swordsman who had worked with his great-grandmother.
While Mang Asep who has heard this story a little more is just a mangosteen-mangut understand.
"Yes, I am the second grandson of Ki Probo from his first child, "said Nyi Sari before Aris could ask.
"Had this been in a Japanese cartoon movie then it would have been a big sweat on my head, " thought Aris, because once again he got an answer to a question he had not spoken.
"As Asep knows me, because he visits this house a lot. My eldest brother's son was his friend, "so Nyi Sari.
Aris again grinned, not so again asked, because it was first answered.
Nyi Sari continued the story, before Aris could speak because she thought the story was over.
Sobri hopes that with the death of Anna's lover, his young wife changes. At first Anna does change, she apologizes and declares herself to be sorry.
Sobri also forgave him, because after all, apart from being a wife, Anna was also a fellow nomad from the country where she came from. Sobri also began to regularly visit Anna again.
Time was moving fast, a few months later there was an upheaval in Sumatra and it had an effect on trade.
Sobri is a businessman, he is not hostile to anyone, he prioritizes the smoothness of his business and the comfort of his family and the people around him. But this turmoil requires Sobri to go to and fro to take care of the smoothness and security of his business, meeting the leaders of the army, the military leaders and others.
Two years later, Sobri had to leave the family to take care of his business. At that time back word spread that Anna had not left the black magic ritual that she had lived with her lover first.
Some residents find a small ape they believe to be the incarnation of the king begal Dadang, often seen in Anna's house. In addition, some residents who were patrolling also had several times caught Anna walking alone in the middle of the night around the bottom of the river, I don't know what she did there.
Wulan was worried about Anna's situation, then asked Probo who was married to a local girl and already had a son (brother of Nyi Sari) to watch over Anna. But Anna just wrongfully accepts and assumes Wulan instigates Probo to spy on him, let alone the death of Dadang killed Probo still leaves Anna sick.
Things got worse, Sobri was never heard from because no courier from Sumatra could reach their village. While Anna is increasingly becoming-so, although it can not be proven directly but some residents began to fall victim, killed with terrible conditions. All those killed were supporters of Sobri in the fight against begal.
After that the outbreak began to spread in the village where Anna lived, many residents were stricken with blistering skin. The villagers thought it was Anna's doing and their fear turned to anger until they finally stormed Anna's residence.
It was then that the invaders witnessed for themselves what Anna was capable of. The woman was able to float and stand on the roof of her house, after which a faint black mist enveloped her body. After casting the spell Anna disappeared. Along with the disappearance of Anna, water gushed in every well in the village, and the village land and all the buildings inside it collapsed to a few meters deep.
At the same time, an extremely powerful whirlpool whirled profusely in the depths where Dadang was killed. That water was somehow sucked into the village where Anna lived, until the village was drowned.
The villagers immediately fled and evacuated their families to nearby villages. Several elderly people and children died from the floods.
"It turns out that because of the places in the direction of the forbidden river, "the inner Aris was shocked. He didn't know what had happened there.
Nyi Sari took another sip of water from her glass and continued the story.
Probo soon heard of this coming to the village where Anna lived. Although she was very angry but still not sure to punish Anna, because after all the woman was still the legal wife of her master. So Probo only intended to seal the sinking village with a spell, so that Anna and her magic could not get out of the place and cause interference.
But Anna found out about it, and reappeared. The battle between Anna and Probo. In contrast to fighting Dadang who uses more physical strength, to fight Anna Probo uses more magical power. Moreover, Probo heirloom keris has not returned to his hands after being thrown into the bottom when fighting against Dadang before.
"Nobody knows what happened there after that, my vision blurred and I could not see any further, "sadly Nyi Sari complained.
"It is clear, although it is not claimed to be a powerful person, but this grandmother has the ability to laugh, "inner Aris.
Aris looked at Nyi Sari, getting ready to grin if this grandmother knew what was on her mind.
But this time Nyi Sari did not do that, and went back to continuing her story.
On the morning of the second day after Sobri said goodbye to Wulan to seal the sinking village. Wulan ordered some people to follow and help Probo. It's just that upon arrival, the men found Probo's body lifelessly lying on the edge of the submerged village, his body turning blue and his hands covered in blood.
