Voices From Other Realms
What omens?
Raden Dito was walking in a daze, he was sleeping at home.
Then why was he suddenly in an unfamiliar place when he woke up.
His eyes looked towards the sky, looking bright moonlight.
On his right left was dark, only illuminated by torchlight from the houses in the distance.
Raden Dito staggered as a hand held his body.
Raden Dito looked at the person who had been holding his body, a beautiful girl who had always been on his mind.
" Why are you here?" ask Raden Dito.
" Fetch you...," grinned Arum.
"Today's the night of the full moon.you're the next man," Arum's eyes flashed.
Raden Dito looked happy.he did not realize soon his life was in danger.
" You're a special person.." Arum laughed softly...
Raden Dito just nodded, he was not fully aware.
A part of his soul was already under the influence of darkness.
Arum guided Raden Dito's hand.
"Raden Bondo.you will be surprised after this," Arum smiled cynically.
"There will be surprises for you ..I will show you one by one..and so will you my dear Anum.
"Raden Dito..are you ready to sacrifice for me?" ask Arum.
Raden Dito nodded.
" Even if you have to lose your life?" ask Arum again.
"I will sacrifice my soul and body only for you" replied Raden Dito.
Arum smile...
" You won't blame me, will you? promise me there's no grudge for me" Arum said.
"I promise" replied Raden Dito.
"Well, thank you, and soon we arrive" replied Arum.
Arum takes Raden Dito to the forbidden forest.
"I'll ask Grandma Kanji to make you feel no pain" Arum looked at Raden Dito who was like he was bowing to her.
Raden Dito nodded again...
" I'll get your girlfriend Ningrum to catch up with you so you're not alone." Arum said.
After they reach a large tree, Arum calls Kanji's grandmother...
"Grandmother Kanji, I've come to fulfill my duty." call Arum.
The tree shook violently and then Kanji's grandmother came out.
"Hi..hi.you came ayu light.you brought a young and fresh mash,"
granny Kanji's Laughter.
"Sir, I want to make two requests before this man is grounded" Arum pinta said.
"Tell me ayu." replied Kanji's grandmother.
" First please don't make this man feel any pain."
" Easy....what's the second request?" ask grandma Kanji.
" I want this man not to disappear into smoke.I want his body to remain intact to be shown to Raden Bondo's family" Arum replied.
"Well, I will follow your wishes" replied Kanji's grandmother.
Kanji's grandmother then approached Raden Dito, Raden Dito just silent expressionless.
" You're lucky young man.you won't feel any pain," Kanji's grandmother touched Raden Dito's forehead.
Raden Dito fell asleep, closing his eyes.
Kanji's grandmother pulled out her pointy canine teeth, then started sucking blood from Raden Dito's neck.
It continued to suck until Raden Dito's face was as pale as cotton.
Raden Dito's body was lying on the ground in a state of lifelessness.
Grandma Kanji licked her lips.
" Sweet..nice...the blood of young people," he said while still licking his lips.
"Cah Ayu...want to be taken where his body? I I'll send it to where you want it" asked Kanji's grandmother.
" Well cah ayu.remember don't forget to make the next offering," Kanji's grandmother said.
" Good Grandma" replied Arum.
Kanji's grandmother pointed towards Raden Dito's lifeless body.
Then Raden Dito's body moved on its own then darted flying through the darkness of the night.
The next morning, at Gusti Arya's house...
Waiter Gusti Arya who first found a pale body figure as white as cotton lying in front of the yard Gusti Arya house.
"There are corpses..there are corpses..," he shouted and immediately made an uproar.
Everyone went out to see.
Ningrum was instantly in shock as soon as he saw the lifeless body in front of him.
" Mas Dito.
Gusti Arya who was behind Ningrum immediately caught the body of his daughter.
The neighbors who early in the morning heard cries of dead bodies, flocked to see.
" Ki Anjar, please convey this news to Raden Dito's parents' house now.Take anyone to accompany you," ordered Gusti Arya.
Ki Anjar nodded, he invited one of the male servants to accompany him.
Ningrum was crying, his heart was very upset.However he still loved Raden Dito.
Raden Bondo was silent, he did not understand why Raden Dito's body was in their house.
Anum could only shut up...
While Raden Ayu Ditha was worried about Ningrum.
He was afraid that his daughter could not accept the events that happened so suddenly.
Gusti Arya asked one of his close neighbors to report to the village device.
"Why can Raden Dito be in our house? and why did he die with this condition?" Gusti Arya whispered to Raden Bondo.
"Come on Ayanda, whatever caused his death..," Raden Bondo also looked puzzled.
Thousands of questions came to his mind.
"What really happened to Raden Dito?" he murmured in the heart.
Several village devices came to Gusti Arya's residence.
They came to see the condition of Raden Dito who seemed to die in unnatural circumstances.
One of them examined Raden Dito's body.
" Dry without blood..," he said.
He then looked at Raden Dito's neck and showed it to the others.
" Wound with two holes" he continued.
They looked at each other, they could deduce from the wound that perhaps it was the cause of his death.
" Weird.." said another.
" Can I talk to his family?" ask one of the village people.
" It's still being picked up Ki. his family's house is quite far from here," Gusti Arya replied.
" Are you still in a family relationship or what?" ask again.
" He was my son's fiancee, but they just broke up." replied Gusti Arya again.
"I am also confused how he got here" Gusti Arya continued.
The village devices can only be mangosteen.
They had to wait for Raden Dito's family to arrive, in order to be able to conclude what really happened.
Raden Ayu Ditha looked at Anum.he remembered what a strange grandmother had told him about her daughter-in-law.
Her heart so thought of what had once been brushed aside by her husband Gusti Arya.
" Don't be right what that strange grandmother said about Anum," Raden Ayu Ditha spoke inwardly.
" What if it's true?" Raden Ayu Ditha was agitated.
He was afraid that bad luck would really come to their family.
"After the full moon." he rubbed his crumpled nape.
Raden Ayu Ditha looked at Anum...
" Did he cause it?" he said in his heart.
