The Origin of the Mardani Family 7



"don't mind nduk, just keep going. Any minute.."


Bu'de dasimah's voice again led Ratmi.


"Ratmas.. Ratmi, come back, son.. I miss you so much."


Deghs.


This time Ratmi was unable to make her move. Because of that voice, it sounded exactly like her mother's voice.


"Ratmas.. Go home nduk.!!"


The voice returned, now with a very heartbreaking tone and voice.


"i-mom.."


Ratmi was speechless, she was about to look back, but suddenly her hand was already held by bu'de dasimah.


"kan bu'de said, don't look back, nduk"


said Bu'de dasimah, Ratmi was surprised not kepalang. Where'd the bu'de dasimah come from? And when bu'de dasimah came, the voices vanished and were silent. Now only the sound of birds chirping.


"bu'de, where's bu'de's house.?"


Ratmi asked in astonishment with the sudden appearance of bu'de dasimah.


"it's bu'de's house, come on..."


Point bu'de dasimah at a small hut in front of them.


The hut was very simple, and it looked fragile.


But what makes Ratmi surprised is, from earlier he continued to look ahead. But did not see the hut anywhere, but now the hut where bu'de dasimah lived was right in front of him.


"sit down first.."


The word of bu'de dasimah, Ratmi then sat on a bale (a seat made of bamboo pieces), which is on the front porch of the house. Bu'de dasimah went into the house.


Ratmi observed the surrounding area, no one, no animals whatsoever. So where did the source of the voices Ratmi had heard..?


"please nduk, drink first."


Bu'de dasimah came with a glass of fresh tea water and a plate of boiled cassava that still emits a thin smoke.


Ratmi just nodded, she did not touch the glass that bu'de was thrusting.


"Bu'de, I came here..."


Said Ratmi, but it has not been done the words that Ratmi said. Bu'de dasimah immediately cut him off.


"bu'de already knows, it's difficult for your life, nduk. Bu'de knows, ever since you came here with your mas and your sister. But instead of getting a life change, it's the havoc you get from your husband."


Ratmi lowered her head, indeed the path of fate that she went through was very heavy, as if the universe did not allow her to be happy.


"continue now how you want, nduk."


Tanya Bu'de dasimah's back.


"i want my husband to bow to me, ma'de. To be honest, I'm pregnant with her child now. Therefore, I want whatever I say my husband obey and obey. I also want, mas Darso divorced all his wives, I want to be the only wife of mas darso and my husband's wealth is completely mine."


Ratmi said with a loud voice. He could not bear to always live in a slump. He wants to control the manager Darso along with all his property.


"tanang nduk, bu'de will give you everything.."


Lirih bu'de dasimah.


Finally bu'de dasimah asked Ratmi to enter the house, because the day began to twilight.


Simple.it's just the first impression that Ratmi can when looking at the state of the house bu'de dasimah.


"are you ready?"


Tanya bu'de dasimah later.


"now you have to spend the night here. The ritual time is quite time consuming)"


"ritual...?"


ratmi was astonished.


He didn't know that it was all a ritual.


"that's your room, as a first condition. Later that night if someone knocks on your door or you hear a strange noise outside the room, don't let you open the door."


Said bu'de dasimah with his distinctive hoarse voice.


Ratmi was just speechless, she really felt confused over her choice to meet bu'de dasimah.


The sky started to darken, Ratmi went inside the room. While bu'de dasimah just stared at her until Ratmi completely closed the door of the room tightly.


There's a little worn clock on the table.


Ratmi laid her body on the cotton mattress she tried to close her eyes, but both eyes still wanted to keep watch.


Now the clock on the table has shown at 23:30 p.m.


Many times Ratmi headed towards the door, she stuck her ears on the door leaf that saw the reot. He tried to listen to whatever sounds were behind the door, he was curious about what was said by bu'de dasimah. But the outside is still quiet.


"didn't you just lie, to scare me.?"


Batin Ratmi's.


Ratmi put her body back on the bed. Now that his eyes were looking straight up, he began to think and imagine, what ritual he would perform. This will really have an effect on his life.


Srakk.. Srakk..


Ratmi was surprised, she immediately shuffled towards the corner of the bed.


The sound of a broomstick clashing with the ground, but the source of the sound did not come from outside the house, but from outside the room. More precisely in front of the door of the room Ratmi occupied.


But from under the door Ratmi did not see any shadow.


The living room condition is brighter than the room, because bu'de dasimah has installed two lamps there.


Then the voice changed, now outside the room sounded very crowded, like there were some men who were chatting in the room accompanied by a loud laugh.


Ratmi's nape fur increasingly brushed manakal laughter sound is now changed with the sound of a woman's cry.


That cry is heartbreaking.


To the extent that Ratmi also felt the pain that was being cried by the woman.


"Roman.... Hihihi.."


Deghs.


The voice of the woman who was crying was now calling her name.


"sir.. Come out, I know you're inside."


Ratmi covered her ears with both palms, she tried not to hear the voice that kept calling her name.


The voice continued to call out to Ratmi over and over again, as if the voice was constantly approaching in her direction.


Ratmi grew increasingly fearful, while the strange noises disappeared and now changed with a powerful blow on the door.


It was as if someone was trying to get into the room.


"Roman... Open..!!"


Bugh.. Bugh..


"mas.."


Lirih ratmi, because the voice that just called her was the voice of the draughtsman Darso.
