Voices From Other Realms

By Oath?

Raden Bondo and Anum sat together at the temple.

Gusti Arya and his wife Raden Ayu Ditha along with Gusti Lingga or Gusti Romo and his young wife, Raden Ayu Sinta appeared flanking the right left of the two brides.

A happy face looks on Anum's face, while Raden Bondo looks ordinary.

The party was held at the house of the Gusti Arya family.

The party atmosphere is so lively with music art accompanied by gamelan sound.

The party seemed to be attended by invited guests from among the nobility and also seen many descendants of the Dutch.

The dancers look weak to follow the gamelan rhythm.

From a distance a pair of eyes saw a couple of brides full of hatred.

The eyes belonged to a woman wearing a black veil. He also covered part of his face from his nose down with the tip of his veil.

The woman did not want anyone around to recognize her.

He also wears long black clothes.

It was like attending a funeral.

His eyes flashed with anger.

"Wait for my vengeance.you will cry blood before receiving my vengeance," he murmured softly.

Arum turned his body, he wanted to leave the place immediately.

Can't bear to see the two who betrayed him.

Arum hit a young man by accident.

" Ma.af, I didn't mean it" said Arum, bowing his head.

The man smiled.show a sweet smile on his handsome face.

" It's okay.I'm also wrong not to see you," the man replied.

Arum was stunned to see the man, he felt like he had seen him but forgot when and where.

"I'm Dimas, what would you be called?" ask the man.

"I..mmm..I.not anyone, excuse me." Arum hurried away from the man who claimed to be named Dimas.

Arum half ran away from Dimas who was astonished to see Arum's behavior.

"Who is he? it's weird.." muttered Dimas.

Dimas stared at Arum's back until his figure was lost in a corner of the road.

Dimas sighed, he came also wanting to see his "forced" lover being betrothed.

From a distance he saw Anum who was with Raden Bondo.

His heart was very sad, he was forced to let his lover belong to someone else.

"What is my day that is only a commoner," he sadly muttered inwardly.

***********

Arum arrives at the big tree where Kanji's grandmother lives.

"Sir, come out.I want you to help me," said Arum staring up at the large tree.

Suddenly the tree shook violently and came out the figure of Kanji's grandmother.

"Well, you woke me up from my sleep hi.hi..," Kanji's grandmother laughed.

" Mr..make their parties both chaotic...."

" That's all? it's so small, I'll grant you your wish, ''., '" Grandma Kanji then disappeared into smoke.

At Anum and Raden Bondo's wedding....

Suddenly the wind blew very hard, the dry leaves flew, the clouds became dark and then rain fell that immediately flushed the earth with a rush.

Everyone panicked.A strong wind suddenly destroyed the tent that had stood firm.

the guests ran to save themselves from the rain.

Their clothes became soaked.

Some ran shelter in the pendopo belonging to the Gusti Arya family.

Finally, many guests ran home.

They immediately boarded their respective horse carriages.

The happiness on Anum's face turned anxious.

Raden Bondo fell silent, and there began to be fear in his heart.

Arum's oath, yes Raden Bondo immediately remembered it.

On her wedding day, the state of nature is not supportive of their marriage.

Not half a day, something unpleasant happened at their wedding.

"Has Arum's oath already begun?" he murmured in the heart.

His house was so full of guests who were jostling to seek shelter from the torrent of rain.

Some guests have chosen to go straight home.

Gusti Arya was busy looking for the rain handler he had paid for.

It seems like the rain handler is overwhelmed, the winnows he wears like they are not effective.

The rain handler was sitting cross-legged, his mouth seemed to recite the spell.

Instead of stopping, the rain was increasingly pouring down on the earth even accompanied by the rumbling of lightning and lightning that continued to connect as if it would not bless the marriage of Anum and Raden Bondo.

Dhuar.crack.

Everyone is shocked.

Lightning strikes a tree trunk next to the pendopo.

The trunk was broken and immediately fell on the roof of one of Gusti Arya's pendopos.

Everyone in there looked panicked, running away from the tree-stricken pendopo.

Raden Bondo.

it's getting worse.

Their wedding party was chaotic, all wet with rain water, not one of the pendopo house there was damaged.

All the flowers that were used as decorations for the flying stage floated in the strong wind.

The party venue was ravaged in an instant.

All the food that has been served is also so berkuah already wet mixed with rain water.

Marriage ends with everyone panicking.

Gusti Romo and his young wife, Raden Ayu Sinta, could only sit quietly inside one of the pendopo sections.

Guests one by one began to go home even though in heavy rain, they chose to go home rather than having to crimp in the pendopo.

Only one or two guests are still waiting for the rain to stop.

Raden Bondo could only resign, he could not do anything.

A marriage that takes place by hurting someone who is loved and loves him, is reciprocated by the destruction of the party that has just begun.

Raden Bondo imagines the horror that will happen next, if indeed all caused by the oath given by Arum at his marriage to Anum.

" You and Anum will never be happy, I swear you will be miserable forever" Arum said in his memory as he cursed.

"What if everything were to come true? I couldn't imagine it" Raden Bondo continued to speak in his heart.

Fear began to enter him. He could not resist the anxiety.

Anum clasped his fingers as if to give strength to Raden Bondo.

Raden Bondo also felt Anum's face was not as bright as when the new party began.

Anum also looks worried and sad, because their party is tacky - spoiled by natural events that they did not expect to happen right on their wedding day which should be a beautiful day.

Who would have thought everything was destroyed in just the blink of an eye.

Even rain handlers such as helpless, winnows and spells issued have no effect to stop bad weather.

Not to mention they will be busy repairing one of the pendopos whose roof was damaged over a large tree.
