Voices From Other Realms

There's A Weird One

" Kiddo, what's wrong with you? where's your manners?" Gusti Brijaya rebuked his son with a rather loud voice.

Gusti Brijaya's...

"I...."

Raden Ayu Kiswani frowned, what happened to his son.

Usually if there are older guests, Raden Dito immediately sungkem and say hello.

"Son.;" call Raden Ayu Kiswani.

Raden Dito looks awkward.

Gusti Arya and his wife looked at each other, Raden Dito behaved unusually towards them, not even greeting them.

Gusti Arya looked furious, he wanted to get up from his seat but his hand was pulled and held back by Raden Ayu Ditha to sit back.

"Raden Dito.

" Daughter, come here." Raden Ayu Kiswani who more patiently pulled his son's hand.

" Sungkem to your future in-laws" whispered Raden Ayu Kiswani softly.

Raden Dito shook his head, he turned like a child who still needed to be taught about manners.

" Just leave Diajeng, we don't know what's wrong with your son" Raden Ayu Ditha said.

"We don't know why your son could change his attitude in an instant" Gusti Arya said in a stern manner.

Gusti Brijaya certainly felt bad for their prospective besan.

Raden Dito managed to smear the faces of his parents in front of both of their guests.

"Ayahanda would like to ask you, did you really betray Arum?" Raden Brijaya snapped at his son.

" Why is it, Father? Raden Dito hates Ningrum now," Raden Dito replied in a loud voice.

" Is it because there are other women? and is it true that you slapped Ningrum Nak?" Raden Ayu Kiswani asked.

" Yes." replied Raden Dito.

Gusti Brijaya was angry, he woke up from his seat and he slapped the cheeks of his two sons.

Plaque.plaque..

Raden Dito was silent and only held his two cheeks that felt sore.

Raden Ayu Kiswani was wide-eyed, he could do nothing to defend his son.

His son was indeed guilty, Raden Dito had already confessed to Ningrum.

Raden Ayu Kiswani was also shocked and embarrassed to see their son behaving like he had no manners.

"I'm sorry about our son Kangmas...Nimas.we did not teach him so much that his behavior made us ashamed," Gusti Brijaya cupped his hands together.

" We think we have to cancel the matchmaking relationship between our two children Dimas..," Gusti Arya said firmly.

" Please forgive Raden Dito Kangmas, please don't cancel. I promise to educate our son" Raden Brijaya pleaded.

" Don't want a father, I don't love Ningrum anymore" Raden Dito replied Gusti Brijaya.

"You.." Gusti Brijaya was ready to raise his hand.

"Enoughly Brushed, there is no need to force it. It was Raden Dito's own will," Gusti Arya said.

"But Kangmas, our family relationship has been so close all this time..should it just be cut off?" Gusti Brijaya tried to persuade Gusti Arya.

"Raden Dito himself caused our relationship to be severed Dimas."

"Raden Dito, for the last time father asked if you don't want Ningrum to be your lover again?" half-shouting Raden Brijaya asked his son.

"Father's bull." replied Raden Dito.

"Ayahanda asked, who is the woman who made you change like this?"

Raden Dito shook his head, he himself did not know the name of the woman who made him hate Ningrum.

"Say who is he son?" Raden Ayu Kiswani asked.

" I don't know whose Mother she is, but I love her Mother."

" Are you crazy? you don't know who that woman is but confess to love her. Really crazy,"

gusti Brijaya said annoyed.

"Where does the woman live?" Raden Brijaya asked again.

" I don't know Father" replied Raden Dito.

" You decided Ningrum for a woman whose place you live you don't know where, not even her name you know? you really are crazy," said Gusti Brijaya angry.

"It's Dimas, we don't want to bother anymore. We'd better get home..." Gusti Arya got up from her seat.

Raden Ayu Ditha nodded her head.

" We said to Dimas...Tilted."

" We're really sorry Nimas" Raden Ayu Kiswani hugged Raden Ayu Ditha.

Raden Ayu Kiswani's tears trickled down, he regretted not being able to become Ningrum's mother-in-law whom he had already considered to be his own daughter.

His heart really felt disappointed and regretful attitude of his son who made their relationship should break up.

Gusti Arya and Raden Ayu Ditha walked out and headed for their horse-drawn carriage.

" We go home Ki..," asked Gusti Arya to Ki Anjar.

Ki Anjar ran his chariot after Gusti Arya and Raden Ayu Ditha got on and sat on the train.

Gusti Arya was very disappointed to see Raden Dito's attitude of one hundred and eighty degrees had changed.

Usually Raden Dito respects them as much as he treats both his parents.

Passing the road to his right left many shrubs, suddenly the horses that pulled their chariots neighed loudly.

Gusti Arya and Raden Ayu Ditha were aghast.

Ki Anjar was busy controlling his panicked-looking horse.

An old grandmother who was out of nowhere stood in the middle of the road blocked their path.

The grandmother wore a white, combong shirt while carrying a wooden stick.

"Excuse me Nek.." cried Ki Anjar.

Their horses looked back and forth like they were panicking.

Ki Anjar calmed his horse by pulling his bridle tightly.

" Excuse me Nek.we want to pass," Ki Anjar shouted louder.

" Maybe the grandmother had less hearing..," thought Ki Anjar.

After waiting for a long time, but the grandmother still did not move.

Gusti Arya got off the horse-drawn carriage and approached the grandmother who was blocking their path.

"Excuse me, Grandma, do we want to go through. or do you need help? where's grandma going?" ask Gusti Arya.

The grandmother looked at Gusti Arya, she was still silent.

" Where is Grandma going? want us to take you?" Gusti Arya asked again by tightening her voice.

The grandmother pointed with her wand.

" Your families are going to be shit,." said the Grandma.

" What does my grandmother mean I don't understand" Gusti Arya said.

" Your daughter-in-law ..exorcise her.she's a pesky carrier..," the grandmother continued.

"What did Grandma say? I don't understand."

"Genesis after bad events will befall other family members.look at it."

" Whose grandmother? why should I believe Grandma's words?" answer Gusti Arya.

" You don't believe it? hi...hi.just look from the first daughter-in-law you enter the disaster continues to occur," he pointed at the face of Gusti Arya.

" Maybe this Grandma is not sane," Gusti Arya murmured inwardly.

" You're saying I'm not sane? hi. hi..."

"How can this grandmother read my heart?" Gusti Arya muttered again.

" Of course I can read your mind, I'm a fortune teller" said the grandmother.

Gusti Arya was stunned, The grandmother again knew what she said in her heart.

"Look after the full night, you'll believe my words" the grandmother continued.

Raden Ayu Ditha, listening to the conversation between her husband and the unknown grandmother from the train, shook her knees.

He hoped that Grandma's words were just a joke to scare them.

"Is Grandma crazy?" he said in his heart.

" I'm not crazy, ." he shouted as his finger pointed at Raden Ayu Ditha.

Raden Ayu Ditha was stunned, how could the Grandma know what she said in her heart.

He creeps...
