TUMBAL NURSING HOME

CHAPTER 31 AHEAD OF GRANDFATHER DODIT'S RITUAL.

Riko looked up, he saw the sunlight was still bright.

"Have it been Sin in the afternoon?"

"What's wrong Ko? It was four in the afternoon, sono help the grandfather first. I'm looking for it in a room that doesn't exist, instead you squat here."

Sintia knocked on the door of Nek Siti's room, and soon there was a creaking sound of the door opening. Nek Siti looked out of the room, she admonished Riko to quickly go to the next building. Because those grandfathers must be in desperate need of his help. In a hurry Riko hurried away. In the bathroom, Nek Siti said that later tonight the elderly would celebrate Grandpa Dodit's birthday. But he actually did not want to attend the event.

"If Grandma hadn't come, Mariyati would have been angry. Because after all we must always be together in times of joy and sorrow. But for every birthday celebration, my grandmother did not like to celebrate. Because it'll only add to grandma's burden." Clearly Nek Siti was bowed with a sad face.

"Why should grandma do something she doesn't like? Shouldn't Mariyati impose her will. If grandma doesn't want to, let Sintia say."

"Don't Sin, even though grandma doesn't want to, grandma still has to attend it. Later in the night you will have to sleep better than usual, because Mariyati will definitely give you energy-boosting herbs."

It seems that Siti deliberately told something, by discussing energy-boosting herbs. Maybe Nek Siti wants to say, if she doesn't want Sintia to drink it. So that Sintia can find the truth, about something that is hidden behind the celebration of the birthday of the elderly.

"Why does grandma see me like that? Come on if you wanna relax on the back porch."

"No Sin, it's five o'clock. In a moment magrib, better grandma in the room until dinner. Go if you want to be with the others."

"Sintia nemenin granny here yes, suddenly Sintia became kangen same late grandmother. In the past Sintia grandmother lost not know where, great grandmother also not clear where. So by spending time with grandma, Sintia so feel like having a grandmother again." His words while holding the hand of Siti's grandmother.

Seen the look of Siti's nek face turned soft, her eyes glazed and then held Sintia in his arms. In the heart of Siti's nek, there is a separate room for Sintia. He does not want if his great-grandson is trapped in the Perverted ritual of Panti Jompo. But the closeness of the two must end, because Mariyati suddenly went into the room.

"Sintia help Riko, she has trouble taking care of the three grandfathers!" Firmly Mariyati highlighted her sharp eyes.

Sintia frowned, she felt that Mariyati had never let her both with Siti's nek for a long time. But he had to obey his orders. After Sintia left Siti's nursery, Mariyati immediately reprimanded the elderly.

"Don't you think I don't know your real purpose Siti! Secretly you and Ridho want to give a clue to the great-grandson of kaliana. How many times do I have to tell you, that you can't break a mutually agreed agreement. Later in the night you will all witness the ritual process of offering souls to Dodit. Be prepared to wait your turn." Said Mariyati grinning in front of nek Siti.

Time passed quickly, after dinner the four students were given energy boosters in accordance with the words of Nek Siti. They looked at each other, and whispered to each other. Because they are not used to taking traditional medicine such as herbal medicine.

Mariyati forced them to drink a glass of the potion she made. The herbs are nutritious, so that they sleep better and wake up without the need to remember his friends who have left Panti. Forcibly they gulped down the herbs, only Sintia had not drunk them. He was stunned to see his three friends drinking out the herbs that looked very bitter. He shuddered to imagine the taste of jami, until finally Mariyati snapped it with rounding both eyes. With a reflex Sintia pretended to drink the herbal medicine, but he held it in his mouth so as not to be swallowed. The bitter taste was amazingly spread on his tongue to his throat.

"It's good that if you obey, after cleaning everything you can sleep." Mariyati put her foot away.

Meanwhile Sintia immediately ran into the kitchen with a glass in her hand. He intended to spit out the herbs he held in his mouth. Just as he opened his mouth in front of the sink, he was shocked to hear the sound of footsteps coming from behind him. He held half the herbs in his mouth again, but because Widia surprised him from behind. Reflek Sintia gulped the herbal medicine that he had been holding with great difficulty so as not to be swallowed.

Gleek.

Sintia immediately shuddered in a bitter taste inside her esophagus. He quickly took a glass of water, to neutralize the bitter taste.

"Lu why are you surprised about Sin?" Widia asked hooked both eyebrows.

"Mur scoundrel Wid! I thought Mariyati ma'am, didn't even know you. So it's the jamu!" Answer Sintia by breathing out a long breath.

"Well, haven't you been telen yet? Crazy strong you nahan jamu as bitter as that in the mouth." Widia looked in shock, she seemed amazed at Sintia.

"What the hell, that's not the problem. I just don't think I can drink that medicine. That's why I follow my heart, uh because you failed my intention!"

"Yes sorry Sin, I didn't mean it. I guess you've been drinking the clock, and you're going back to grab water just like everyone else."

In the midst of their conversation, Grandpa Dodit and Grandpa Bimo came to the kitchen. Dodit's grandfather orders Sintia and Widia to make sure the black rooster, which is prepared for him, is immediately taken to the back porch.

"Tomorrow in the morning, behind the dark. You want to cook it tomorrow morning, right?" Sahut Widia with a look at the back garden.

"Don't be reckless talking! That chicken is not for cooking, that chicken should be used for my health rituals. So that tomorrow morning I can wake up healthier and fitter." Grandpa Dodit harrumphed in annoyance.

Grandpa Bimo again emphasized that the two prepared the chicken on the back porch. They had to obey him, walking in the dark of the night. Although the back garden was not too far from their room, still the horror atmosphere was very pronounced. Sintia and Widia joined together, they passed through the backyard of many banana trees and large bamboo trees. As far as the eye could see, there was only a haughty impression felt. There was a sound of leaves rubbing against each other, but there was no wind around there. The sweat had already begun to carry his second forehead, until they fell silent on the spot. When looking at one bamboo stem like it is attracted to touch underground. There was no mystery what was behind the bamboo trunk, which suddenly ducked into the ground. What is clear is that Sintia and Widia both do not dare to move her body. They stood together, not daring to continue their footsteps.
