Voices From Other Realms

The fruit of revenge

The shocking news soon became a byword in the area.

The news of the disappearance of a Dutch Noni named Aleid in front of his own chariot driver was widely discussed.

Local security officers had helped search the area around the disappearance of the Dutch girl, but the girl who was taken away by a black hooded woman seemed to disappear swallowed by the earth.

What is horrendous is the story of the Dutch coachman Noni, he seemed like a statue could not move after his shoulder was patted by the mysterious woman.

The news developed into frightening rumors, some added spice in their stories, so that the news automatically in an instant became the most shocking news.

Some are guessing, the Dutch Noni was taken away by the creature waiting for the place there are also those who claim that Noni deliberately disappeared to avoid her family.

The news that appeared became a crossroads.

Anum himself heard the story directly from Raden Bondo, her husband.

But because Raden Bondo did not mention the name of the missing Dutch Noni, so Anum did not know that Dutch Noni was one of his friends who had just gathered at Gusti Arya's residence yesterday.

Anum only found out after this morning hearing the news from a servant who had just returned from the market to buy their kitchen needs.

Their maid named the missing Dutch Noni Aleid.

That means according to Anum's estimates, the incident of Aleid's disappearance was on his way home after returning from Gusti Arya's residence.

Anum felt there was an oddity, he knew the figure of Aleid well.

Aleid was not the type of person who wanted to be invited to go carelessly by others, especially if the woman who invited him to go was someone Aleid did not know.

Moreover, it was again in a position where their train wheels were damaged and the chariot driver was repairing it.

There were also rumors in their area, there were people who were studying black magic that uprooted the lives of others to get a power.

But it was only the guess of a few people who later developed into several versions.

Anum himself is not too willing to take a headache, even though the missing girl is one of his friends.

Because Anum himself also has his own problems.

Her husband Raden Bondo has never been so sweet to her.

Although Raden Bondo has earned his rights as a husband, after doing his duty usually Raden Bondo immediately sleeps without ignoring Anum.

Of course Anum was disappointed, he felt only as a satisfied n****u her husband only, without getting love.

Sometimes Anum compares the attitude of Raden Bondo with Dimas, his former lover.

Dimas always treated Anum with his sweetness.

He was always gentle and attentive to Anum.

For Dimas, Anum is his world and his happiness.

If Dimas was born not from the commoners, Anum would have preferred him over Raden Bondo who was always indifferent to him.

But the rice has become porridge, Anum has chosen Raden Bondo who has been admired for a long time.

Maybe this is not love, but only obsession because Anum does not like his sister Arum get a lover who comes from a noble family, he said, unlike her who was in a relationship with the men of the common people.

Anum feels "losing" to Arum, his sister so he has unknowingly created hell for himself.

He deliberately accepted a proposal from the Gusti Arya family for him, without the slightest refusal and without thinking.

And Anum did not try to explain to Gusti Arya that Raden Bondo was Arum's lover, his sister even though he already knew it.

Anum seems intentional to show Arum, that she is the one who deserves to be the wife of Raden Bondo.

And Anum would never have guessed, if Arum's vengeance began with his actions.

While Anum himself did not expect, his marriage to Raden Bondo never gave him the slightest sweetness.

At times like this, Anum feels alone and misses Dimas, his former girlfriend.

Anum wanted to go to Dimas to let go of her longing, but she is now Raden Bondo's wife.

And Anum also can't carelessly travel without asking permission from her in-laws.

Yesterday, when his friends came to the house, his mother-in-law Raden Ayu Ditha looked not so happy.

Raden Ayu Ditha instead asked him to pay more attention to Ningrum, his sister-in-law.

" I'm a babysitter, I need to be noticed myself" he said in his heart.

Raden Ayu Ditha spoiled her daughter too much, a little Ningrum.

Anum was upset when he thought about it, his attitude towards his own sister never paid attention.

Moreover, this was only against a sister-in-law.

Her in-laws are there, she should be the one who as a mother is obliged to pay attention to her daughter.

It was not her job just as a sister-in-law.

Anum's married life was not like the one in his shadow all along.

He thought that by entering Raden Bondo's family, he would be treated like a queen.

Although Anum did not need to do any tasks, because all the tasks of the house had been done by the servants employed in the house.

However, Anum cannot do the things he likes as he did when he was still living in his Romonya house.

At his Roman house, he was free to invite his friends to gather and joke sometimes while watching his favorite gamelan art performances.

He can call the art players whenever he wants.

His romance never forbade him to do anything.

While at Gusti Arya's residence, Anum felt that all his actions were being watched by his mother-in-law.

Moreover, facing Raden Bondo's cold attitude towards her, Anum felt she was not treated as a real wife.

"Anum, don't daydream.Go accompany Ningrum in his room. Entertain him" Raden Ayu Ditha's voice surprised him.

Anum woke up from his long daydream, he was a little jolted at hearing his mother-in-law calling him.

"Am I an entertainer?" nagel Anum in the heart.

But Anum only kept and swallowed his words in his heart.

In his mouth, Anum still agreed and pretended to smile.

" Good Mother" he answered.

Anum stepped towards Ningrum's room.

Tok...

"Ningrum..," he called.

Anum entered after a long wait but there was no reply from Ningrum.

Ningrum's room door is unlocked.

Anum gasped at Ningrum's messy room, like a broken ship.

Clothes scattered along the floor of Ningrum's room.

A pair of eyes looked at Anum sharply and hatefully.

The eyes belonged to Ningrum, but his sharp gaze was like it did not belong to Ningrum.

Ningrum hair that is usually carried neatly, now looks a long decompose furthest.

Ningrum smiled grinningly looking at Anum.

Anum shuddered, his legs as if glued could not run from it.

Only his voice that had once been choked, could still scream.

" Canda Bondo.....Mother.please....Ningrum why?" Anum shouted loudly.

" You...the person I hate the most.." point at Ningrum as he approaches Anum.

Ningrum's eyes glared with anger.
