TUMBAL NURSING HOME

CHAPTER 57 SECRETS OF THE PAST ARE CORNERED.

"Confess only to be Colored! I'll vouch if you'll get more profit. I know you have descendants from the village youth who have impregnated you before you married your husband first. Do you also not want to get soul offerings from your descendants? I'll help you find your illegitimate son!" Mariyati said make the nek Sejah choked.

"Where do you know about that? I closed it tightly, did Siti tell you? I guess he is, because only Siti knows the dark past. Because he had previously revealed the secret to Ridho. Until I lost my first love. Because Ridho prefers Siti, as soon as Ridho heard that I had been pregnant out of wedlock. But I'm quite happy, because eventually the two of them can't be together. I've messed up their lives, so their destinies are as messy as they are now. That's why until now, I have a grudge against Siti or all her descendants! Siti has no right to be happy, even though she has never been!" Clearly nek Sejah rounded both eyes.

Mariyati grinned at the explanation of the Seized Grandmother. He persuaded Nek Dijah to say where Sintia was, because after that he would bring a new candidate for the tumbal for him. And he also said something that made the nek dijah even more upset. Because based on her explanation, Mariyati knew all the secrets of the Sejah Grandpa indeed from the mouth of Siti's grandmother. But Nek Siti did all of that indirectly. Because at that time, Grandpa Siti was talking to Ridho's grandfather. The two discussed the illegitimate child that the Sejah's grandmother had. Because Nek Sejah wasted the child, so the child grew up with heresy. So that the child also studied black magic, only to get wealth from supernatural figures.

"Didn't that illegitimate child come to the Panti when you were alive? You even cried begging him to be forgiven. You want to live outside the Panti with that child, after knowing that he is worth living with abundant wealth. Your descendants have allied themselves with the supernatural to gain wealth through the path of inheritance! But unfortunately, you were dumped. From there I know, if the one that came at that time was a child that you never acknowledged his existence!" Mariyati smiled obliquely, making the Sejah nek even more annoyed.

Seemingly Seen clenched both his hands. He held back his anger, as his past story was re-emerged. But he could not do anything to fight the manager of the Panti. Nek Sejah lowered his head, then asked Mariyati a question.

"What advantage would you offer, if I told you where Sintia is right now?"

"Not only tell, but you have to take her back to the Panti. In exchange I will bring you the offspring of your disobedient son. Because your son was supposed to be gone a long time ago, but because of his supernatural covenant with a figure from nowhere. It still survives in this mortal realm. Even I know if you have a great-grandson of a living man. Even though his age might not last much longer. And I'm gonna tell you one thing about being colonized. By you returning Sintia, you will win over Siti. You will succeed in hurting her soul, because indeed Siti no longer wants soul offerings. He'll get hurt even more, 'cause I'm gonna make him take his great-grandson's life." Mariyati smiled cunningly.

"A great-grandson of a man who survived a major accident. But his parents are gone, because it is given to buto and Ireng as his grandfather's. Do you really not know how to do that?" Mariyati answered with a question.

Seen nek Sejah hooking both eyebrows. He thought of something, but could not find the answer.

"Who will you dedicate to me? The bastard or his grandson?" Nek Sejah was getting curious, but Mariyati only grinned without giving an answer.

"Both of their souls have been mortgaged for the figure of the buto ireng. I'll make sure you get a better replacement. Because there is still Dina's soul, the next tumbal is still a few years left. Wouldn't your great-grandson be sure to have offspring as well. You'll always get soul offerings, because from my last vision, your great-grandson married a girl and soon she'll be pregnant. That's why, I'm asking you to return Sintia as soon as possible. Siti will be even more hurt, if we manage to give a soul offering for her. However, Siti already wants to end the agreement we made together. But there's one thing you forget about getting colonized! If one of you ends the covenant we made together, we will all be gone forever. The figure of darkness only wants loyalty, but if we deny it it will take away our souls. All of you are just bodyless souls, only souls that you use to live this false life. If you can't be trusted, why would that person give you what you want? Like me, I won't get what I should get. Beauty and eternal life." Mariyati's head bowed languidly.

Thanks to the enlightenment that Mariyati gave. Finally Grandma realized her mistake. He returns to the forest of the marshes to free Sintia. But unexpectedly, grandma Siti apparently followed him to go to the forest. I don't know what will happen to Grandma Siti. Because the forest was not a safe place for him. His soul could have been wretched by another sundel bolong. But if Siti's nek soul is really wretched, it is possible that the Sejah's nek will still get a new offer from Mariyati.
