Voices From Other Realms

Raden Bondo's

Raden Bondo divorces Anum with customary law.

Raden Bondo's self-esteem is trampled, he feels very embarrassed by the actions of Anum.

Arum's oath is still clearly ringing in Raden Bondo's ear.

" I swear you will suffer.I swear you two will not be happy."

Tears dripped down from Raden Bondo's eyes without him being able to hold them back.

Anum and Dimas were taken to the customary court house, they were forced to marry because Anum was pregnant.

At that time, cheating with a married person was very severe punishment.

After the wedding of Anum and Dimas was completed, they were paraded around the village.

All the people who lived there watched them being paraded.

They were spat on and thrown with gravel.

Dimas tries to protect Anum by hugging him and being a shield from the pebble throw.

All eyes scorned them, all the way Anum cried.

This was the consequence they had to accept for breaking the rules, not just the physical punishment he received but the inner punishment.

Gusti Lingga who heard Anum had made a big mistake felt very embarrassed, he did not want to see his daughter.

Her daughter had already thrown dirt on her face, she was very embarrassed and regretful.

All this time Gusti Lingga was too indulgent Anum.

Gusti Lingga remembered Arum and his late wife, he felt guilty...

Had it been that time he acted fairly and told Gusti Arya that Arum was the one who should have made a match with Raden Bondo because they loved each other.

Gusti Lingga bowed, he just remembered Arum, whether still alive or dead Arum at this time.

Raden Ayu Sinta sat next to Gusti Lingga, accompanying her battered husband.

Raden Ayu Sinta did not say anything, only his hand was stroking Gusti Lingga's arm to calm him down.

While Anum and Dimas still had to walk in a crowded parade, after this they would receive punishment again.

The two of them will be tied up in the forbidden forest for three days.

And during that time they shall not eat or drink.

A very severe punishment, a pleasure to be paid for with suffering.

After the sentence is over, then they can live life as a couple.

They will still accept insults from others,

at that time, infidelity was considered as something low and very taboo.

Anum continued to cry, his legs were very sick.he who was a noble descendant never walked barefoot, now he had to step on the pebbles in the streets barefoot.

Of course, the smooth soles of his feet must be blisters hit by sharp objects or pebbles on the streets.

And this became his own suffering for Anum.

After arriving at the forbidden forest, Anum and Dimas tied each one on a large tree with directions facing each other.

the citizens who paraded them then left those who were bound.

Dimas calmed Anum who did not stop crying.

"Anum, don't cry anymore.Pity of our child," comfort Dimas.

"We promised to do it together, have you forgotten?"

Hearing the words of Dimas, Anum instead stopped crying but even louder the sound of crying.

Dimas was confused as to how to comfort Anum, finally he chose silence and waited for Anum's cry to subside.

After satisfied crying, Anum left a small stuffing.

"Are you feeling a little calm, baby?" ask Dimas.

Anum nodded his head.

"I'm thirsty." said Anum.

Dimas tried to remove the rope that bound him, which he thought was now Anum and the child he was carrying.

Dimas continued to rebel, but the rope that bound him was too strong...

"I'm sorry Anum, I'm useless, indeed" Dimas felt helpless.

**********

Raden Bondo was devastated, he was furious.

"You are a loser, the man of the common people dared to take your wife.and you are just sitting here accepting her." whispered the devil.

"Let it go. They have accepted the punishment.not that it is even good for you.you can let go of a marriage that you do not like," whispered his other heart.

"Can't, you're a man of noble descent.It's a shame.the wife ran off with a man who had nothing," replied the demon whisper from her heart.

"Telay Anum..from the beginning you do not love each other.Let go of all grudges," said another whisper.

Raden Bondo clenched his fingers, his face red.

His good side had already been defeated by the whisper of the devil in his heart, all anger and vengeance burning in his heart.

Raden Bondo got up from his seat, he walked to the back of his house with a stall of horses.

Ki Anjar who was feeding his master's pet horses reprimanded Raden Bondo.

"Raden wants to go?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, get me one" Raden Bondo ordered.

Ki Anjar put a saddle and harness on a horse, then pulled it out of the stable and gave it to Raden Bondo.

"Later if you ask me where, tell me again there is a business out" said Raden Bondo to Ki Anjar.

"Well Den..," replied Ki Anjar.

Raden Bondo immediately rode the brown-haired horse, he immediately spurred his horse to run.

Raden Bondo directs his horse to run towards the forbidden forest, he wants to make a calculation with Anum.

The anger that controlled his heart did not make him think long.

"Today all must be done" he murmured with a heart of vengeance and anger.

Arriving in front of the forbidden forest, Raden Bondo got off his horse, he tied his horse to one of the trees that had a lot of grass around him.

"You can graze here" Raden Bondo said as he patted his horse.

Raden Bondo enters the forbidden forest, he searches for Anum.

"Relax, baby, I'm trying to untie this rope, '" Dimas' voice sounded.

"I'm thirsty mas Dimas.." - Isak Anum.

Raden Bondo approaches the origin of the sound, he walks up in front of the two people he hates so much.

"Kanda Bondo..," Anum widened his eyes.

Anum saw Raden Bondo's face filled with bruised former raw smash with Dimas, three-money with the face of Dimas who was also full of bruises.

Dimas was amazed, for what Raden Bondo met them.hatinya feel bad.

"Based on cheap women.."

"Places...." Raden Bondo slaps Anum in the face.

Anum yells...

"Don't hurt Anum.." Dimas snapped angrily.

"He deserves it..a traitor.ha.ha.." laughs Raden Bondo.

Dimas was worried that Raden Bondo would be desperate.he tried hard to unbind the rope that bound him.

"You Bondo.we are now divorced, I am not your wife anymore.you have no right to scold me anymore," cried Anum angrily, saying, the pain in his cheek was nothing with the pain in his heart from Raden Bondo's slap.

"That's a payday for a traitorous woman.you betrayed me while we were still tied to marriage.and it's worth it for a woman who doesn't know yourself like you, '" Raden Bondo pointed out.

"I hate you.I don't regret leaving you.you deserve to be left behind" replied Anum spitting on Raden Bondo's face.

Raden Bondo wiped Anum's spit with the tip of his shirt...

Raden Bondo lost his temper, he grew angry.

"You cheap girl..."

"Breth ....Brett..prekk..," Raden Bondo ripped off Anum's clothes.

Anum yells...

"You wild woman...have no self-respect.it's worth being harassed," Raden Bondo said*c*m Anum's body harshly.

Then Raden Bondo untied the rope that bound Anum's body, he had forgotten the land.

The words of Anum who was spicy, was guilty instead of apologizing but instead made Raden Bondo become confused.

"Don't bother Anum.

Raden Bondo did not care, he pounced on Anum.

Anum's body was toppled, Raden Bondo intended to harass him, Raden Bondo overtook Anum's body whose clothes were tattered.

Anum grabs a nearby rock, he hits it on Raden Bondo's head.

Raden Bondo cried out in pain, releasing his embrace on Anum's body.

Anum pushes Raden Bondo's body, as powerful as Anum runs away from Raden Bondo

Raden Bondo held his bloody head, tore off the tip of his clothes and tied them to his head.

Anger overpowers Raden Bondo's heart, chasing Anum to escape.

"You will feel my vengeance Anum.." Raden Bondo smirked...
