Voices From Other Realms

Retaliation commences

Anum's marriage to the chaotic Raden Bondo became a conversation between people who knew them.

Gusti Arya in recent days is busy watching the workers who help repair pendopo yes whose roof is badly damaged.

In a few days this seemed busy at their residence.

Anum and Raden Bondo cannot forget the tragedy of a day that should be a happy day for them.

In recent days their relationship is not like other newlyweds.

Raden Bondo is like avoiding Anum whose status has become his wife.

Because of the unfortunate incident on the day of their wedding, Raden Bondo felt in his heart like it was the beginning of the consequences of Arum who cursed him.

Anum who feels Raden Bondo away from him certainly can not take it for granted.

" Kanda..why is your attitude cold to me.Have I not become your wife?" asked Anum while stroking Raden Bondo's arm.

" It's just your feeling" replied Raden Bondo.

" Kanda...do I have anything wrong? if I have something wrong, just tell me. I'll fix it," Anum tries to seduce her husband.

" You have nothing wrong Anum.I told you it's just your feelings..."

" If I have nothing wrong, why is your attitude so cold to me?"

Raden Bondo looked straight at Anum, he was lazy to serve Anum while Raden Bondo's heart in a few days was depressed.

"I'm not being cold Anum.I'm like this."

Anum sighed, despite being her husband Raden Bondo behaved still the same as before.

" Did Kanda still not forget my sister Arum?" ask Anum again.

"Don't take Arum's name...Anum..."

Raden Bondo takes pains to forget about Arum, but Anum reminds him of her.

Remember Arum, then Raden Bondo will remember Arum's curse on him.

The girl had already cursed him.he and Anum would never be happy.

************

Arum laughed out loud, his heart was satisfied when the wedding party of his ex-lover and brother was torn.

"This is just the beginning.ha..ha.

" I'll make your family feel the pain I feel..."

Arum smiled cunningly....

***********

Ningrum, Raden Bondo's younger brother is practicing dancing at his dance teacher's house.

The movement is weakly gurgled following the gamelan accompaniment.

He danced with some of his friends.

" That's good enough..you've made a lot of progress," the dance teacher clapped.

The music that accompanied also stopped immediately.

Ningrum wiped the sweat on his temple using his handkerchief.

His eyes glanced at the end of the road and searched.

" Tumben he hasn't picked me up yet" muttered Ningrum.

"Rum, we go home first huh...still wait ya?" his friends are ready to go home.

..." Yes, you guys go first, I wait for Mas Dito first," replied Ningrum waving to his friends....

..."Sit down first Ndok.sambung waiting to be picked up," said dance teacher Ningrum....

...Ningrum's dance teacher was a middle-aged woman called Nyi Sukma."...

..."Thanks Nyi," Ningrum replied then sat down on a bench made of bamboo....

..." Tumben Raden Dito has not come Ndok....

" Yes, I don't know this."

Ningrum started to fidget, usually Raden Dito was never late to pick him up.

Raden Dito is Ningrum's lover, they have been dating for several years.

After waiting for a long time and the day was getting late, Ningrum finally decided to go home by himself.

" Nyi, Ningrum came home.it was late afternoon," said Ningrum.

" Yes already Ndok, maybe later meet Raden Dito on the road.be careful ya Ndok..."

" Yes Nyi.mank you."

Ningrum walked down the street, in his heart wondering why Raden Dito had not come to pick him up.

The distance from Ningrum's house to the dance practice is quite far.

Raden Dito usually picks him up in a horse-drawn carriage.

Halfway through, Ningrum saw the carriage he knew belonged to Raden Dito's family. His horse was grazing on the side of the road.

The horse-drawn carriage that Raden Dito used to pick him up.

Ningrum wailing in search of Raden Dito.

"Darling...Do you love me....?" I heard a woman's voice.

Ningrum looked at the origin of the voice, only to see a female and a leg poking out from behind a tree.

"Of course," answered the male voice known to Ningrum as the voice of Raden Dito, his lover.

Ningrum ran behind the tree, curiosity encouraged him to look at it at close range.

Ningrum widened his eyes, he saw a woman who only saw her eyes, the woman covered her nose and mouth with the tip of the veil she was wearing.

The woman was wearing a black veil.

The woman had one hand stroked Raden Dito's hair.

" Dito...What are you doing with this woman?" Ningrum yells.

Raden Dito only glanced at Ningrum then looked back at the woman beside him.

Raden Dito did not care about Ningrum.

She whispered in Raden Dito's ear.

"Yes dear..," answered Dito to the woman who whispered his ear.

"What the fuck is this Mas Dito? who is this girl?" Ningrum was already getting angry.

"She's my lover" replied the black-hooded woman.

"Who are you?" ningrum Benthic.

" You don't need to know who I am..."

Ningrum pulled Raden Dito's hand.but Raden Dito brushed off Ningrum's.

" Mas Dito.ayo we go home...You have to clear everything."

Ningrum again pulled Raden Dito's hand, but Raden Dito again brushed off Ningrum's hand.

" Leave her.she is now my lover." said the woman again.

Ningrum was already very angry.

" Raden Dito is my lover, who are you why cover your face?" ningrum said as he pointed at the woman.

"I'm Raden Dito's lover" the woman replied.

" It is impossible.ayo Mas Dito we go home..," Ningrum still trying to pull Raden Dito's hand.

" Slap him.." the woman ordered Raden Dito.

Raden Dito was like a buffalo poked in his nose, slapping Ningrum's cheek hard.

Ningrum felt a pain in his cheek, he widened his eyes.

Tears began to fall on his cheeks, he rubbed off the slap of Raden Dito.

During this time Raden Dito let alone being rude to him, even though Raden Dito always spoke softly.

But today, because of a woman that Ningrum did not know... Raden Dito slapped him.

"What the fuck is this Mas?" yelled Ningrum in tears.

"Have her go baby." the woman ruled Raden Dito again.

"Go from here," Raden Dito kicked out at Ningrum.

Ningrum couldn't believe it, Raden Dito today hurt him. He slapped and injured his heart

"Your work is..," Ningrum shouted.

" Go..," Raden Dito showed his index finger to Ningrum.

Ningrum turned his body and he ran home.

Along the way he cried, like a dream it feels today there is no wind no rain Raden Dito dumped him for the sake of other women.

Meanwhile the black-hooded woman laughed in satisfaction...

He opened the veil that covered his nose and mouth.

Arum laughs.....

The woman was Arum who was avenging her heartache.

" Raden Bondo.you will suffer.your sister will also feel the consequences of your actions ha.ha...." Arum laughed out loud.

Next to him Raden Dito was silent, his gaze blank. He is under the influence of Arum's power.

Arum is approaching Raden Dito.

"Are you going to hurt me too?" Arum rubbed Raden Dito's neck.

Both of his hands were in a position ready to strangle...
