One by one the residents began to support what Ningsih did in order to find her daughter, the entire community began to advance together to enter the area of the sacred tomb.
"Thank you all, you guys have been so kind that you want to help me this" Ningsih could not say another word.
"Yes Ning, we know what you're feeling right now, we'll try to help you"
They all entered the area of the tomb crowded, crowded, when they had entered the tomb they never found the existence of Ratih precisely what they found was the thing that made the breath of all people stop arriving.
"Astaghfirullah azim thing" said the resident in unison after seeing what was in front of them all.
"What's this!" Ask Pras.
"It's.." Say Ningsih with a slightly limp body.
Ningsih held the object he found, it can be known that it was a tear from the clothes worn by Ratih before he disappeared and the tear of the shirt was covered in blood, it was seen that the blood was still melting and had not yet frozen it meant that the incident had just happened to Ratih.
It immediately made Ningsih feel so weak that he was unable to feel his own legs and hands and he almost fell down fortunately Pras immediately held the body of his brother so as not to fall on the ground.
"What's wrong, right?" Pras said with worry.
"Ratih, Pras where Ratih, take him home Pras, I beg you to bring him home hiks. hiks.." Ningsih's cry grew even more heartbreaking when she found out that they had only found a tear from Ratih's clothes.
Residents who participated in the tomb area can only be silent to see Ningsih crying so apparently, they could do nothing about what they saw right now in front of their eyes like this.
Because it was too sad that it made Ningsih unconscious, Pras with the help of some people immediately lifted Ningsih's body and took her away from that place to her house to rest her body.
*Flash back off*
Nadhira heard the story with tears, he seemed to be able to feel what was being felt by the woman in front of him, he asked Nimas to release his grip from the woman's body.
After that Nadhira immediately hugged the body of the woman who was divorcing tears, when feeling the embrace of Nadhira it made Ningsih feel so calm, so calm, as if the burden he had been carrying all this time disappeared after he told Nadhira at length.
"Pardon us, because we have brought up the dark times that Mother experienced at that time" said Nadhira as he rubbed the woman's shoulder slowly.
"Now there are dozens of people who go there but never come back, can you bring Ratih back to me? Maybe he is 9 years old now, please bring him back to me" Ningsih said with hope.
"If Ratih is really alive, we will try to bring him back to Mom, may I ask you something? This is about Mr. Dwija".
"Why do you still want to know about that figure? I can't say anything about him".
"Mom, please tell me about Mr. Dwija, I will do my best to bring Ratih back from that sacred tomb if Ratih is still alive, I also need to know about Mr. Dwija so I can find out about my mother's death".
"Your mother died because of Dwija?".
"No Ma'am, he's the only one who knows about what happened to my mother, if you'd like please tell me about the man, please ma'am, I want to know about my mother's death at that time".
"I don't know who Dwija really is, at that time there was a shaman who came to this village and said that the sacred tomb was the tomb of Dwija, Dwija, and he also said that Dwija was an expert in the dark world so even though she was dead her spirit still roamed around eating it".
"When did that happen, Mom? Has the tomb been there since?".
"There used to be no Ma'am, either approximately 7 years ago the tomb was there, at first we did not see a tomb there, there was a tomb there, and there was a tomb there, but since then we were also surprised why there was a tomb there and we were even more surprised when the place began to look for a tumbal, if there is one or two people who come to that place they must disappear by arriving, if more than that they can return safely".
"7 years ago? Dhira is it possible that Mr. Dwija really buried there? You said that Miss Dewi also said that Mr. Dwija had disappeared about 7 years ago, this is not just a coincidence" Sela Theo remembers what Nadhira told her.
"What possible.... Theo we have to get there to see that mysterious tomb".
"Are you sure we're going there? How about..."
"There will be nothing with us, Nimas will protect us, you take it easy".
"Nimas again Nimas again, is this Demon Queen like me unable to relax for a day ha? Oh, my God, Prince Kian why are you punishing me this much, please save me from this woman who does not value her own life". Nimas shouted in complaining.
"Stop complaining and get to work, you're a very lazy Queen apparently".
"Yes yes bring really, ngak what gives me a little leeway, I'm the Queen I also want to relax like the Queen in general, Queen, if only Prince Kian hadn't told me to protect you maybe I'd eaten a long time ago".
"Would you eat me? Go ahead"
"You!" Nimas did not think about Nadhira's way of thinking.
Ningsih told Nadhira about the tomb with a face that looked sad because he was remembering about his son who was lost in that place, Ningsih said that the sacred tomb was located at the eastern end of the village he lived in.
Ningsih also said about the oddity of the strange in the area of the forbidden tomb, but in that place sometimes it feels crowded by people who want to make a pilgrimage to get inner strength he said because not just anyone who can enter the place and return with the state of life still attached on raga.
"If there is a lot of people in that place, you can return safely from that place, but if you are alone then there is no chance to return".
"Is it true like that, Mom? What about two or three?".
"Right, because I've been there a lot and in fact I can still go back, if about the two I'm not sure, but if the three of me I'm still not sure you can still return safely".
"Then we'll try it".
"Then do you still want to go there? I don't want to be selfish so your lives are at stake just to return my son to me, there's been a lot that went in there but no one ever came back".
"Not only to save your daughter's life, we also have to go there to find out about Mr. Dwija, indeed that's our initial goal to go to this village Mom, you don't worry about us, you don't worry about us, we will return safely".
"I don't know what else to say to you, I tried to forbid you to go to that forbidden place, but you wouldn't listen to it at all, the sky is almost dark will be too dangerous for you to go there, why should you stay here first and tomorrow morning continue your journey?".
"True Non, would it be best not to rest here? Because since morning Non has done a lot of activities and do not forget the health of Non also".
"I'm sorry Mom, we're troubling Bu Ningsih here"
"Let them stay at this store, ma'am, I know because they shouldn't stay on one roof with Mom, let alone these villagers will think like you do" Said Nadhira who understood about the doubts from Ningsih.
"Yes Ma'am, we both have no problem staying here, anyways me and Mr. Mun can stay anywhere kok Bu, I usually also sleep on the street".
"Yes Mbak ngak what really, as long as Non Dhira is also fine" said Mr. Mun while pointing at Nadhira.
Ningsih nodded towards the three, as the sky began to darken Ningsih immediately covered his stall with a thick wooden board, while Nadhira began to contact Omanya so as not to feel anxious about Nadhira.
After the stall was closed tightly, Ningsih immediately installed a carpet and a folding mattress for Theo and also Mr. Mun, not to forget also he gave to both of them each pillow, each pillow, rolls and blankets, after which he invites Nadhira to come with him.
"Midnight later if anyone knocks on the door arrives without my voice or this Mother is not opened or seen, usually the supernatural spirit in the area of the tomb is wandering at night" Ningsih commemorates both.
"Will we stay here safe?" Ask Mr. Mun with great doubt.
"Secure, as long as you don't open the door except for the two of us, this store has also equipped a bathroom, so you don't have to go out to pee, after me and this Mommy are out, immediately close this door tightly" Ningsih pointed towards a door.
"Good Ma'am" said Mr. Mun.
Ningsih just nodded her head after that she took Nadhira out of the tavern and told the two people to immediately close the door tightly so that the supernatural beings do not know that in the tavern there are still people.
"Mom will they be safe there?" Nadhira asked as he walked following Ningsih's footsteps.
"Of course, as long as they hear my words they'll be fine there".
"Thank God, then, I'm afraid something's going on with them there".
Ningsih and Nadhira then entered the house occupied by Ningsih, because the room in the house was filled to the end it made Nadhira and Ningsih had to share a room, so Ningsih slept with Nadhira.
Adhan Maghrib also reverberated, Nadhira immediately took ablution water and performed his obligatory prayers, as well as Ningsih's family, after which they continued by reading the Quran until the Adhan isya was heard.
After that Nadhira and the entire Ningsih family gathered in the family room, although it was still 8 pm but the village looked so quiet without anyone daring to go out.
"Mom, does this village look so quiet every day?" Tanya Nadhira arrived.
"It used to be bad, after the tomb everything became like this, no one dared to go out of the house at night afraid of being kidnapped by ghosts".
"There is something strange about this village, there is someone who says that Mr. Dwija is an expert in black magic but what does he have to do with this village".
"Entahlah Mbak, we also do not know about it" Pras said.
The night atmosphere in Flamboyan Village looks so quiet and quiet, no one passing by or just talking loudly outside, drizzling rain began to come towards the village to make the village so complete with silence tonight.
The houses of the residents began to close tightly and as if no light was seeping out of their homes, if you see the atmosphere in the village as if it will be late at night but the wall clock still shows at 8 pm.
Nadhira could not see the existence of life in the village, the whole population was afraid to get out of his house at night, that night was very quiet for Nadhira and also the two people who were with Nadhira to that place.
"Why don't people dare come out, ma'am? Did the ghost just keep on flying?"
"Something came out before, he said he met a very creepy figure and the figure tore his hand until it was full of scratches, but the scratch was incurable and he eventually had to be amputated to stop the growing wound, since no one dared to leave the house at night like this".
"Then Ma'am?"
"He had a mental breakdown to this day, because up until now he still felt very scared, about something we did not see but himself as if he saw it himself, he also often said the word mercy by itself".
"Till the whole thing, ma'am? It's a pity that the man, ma'am, heard the story in this village, makes me a little horrified".
"Will this stop you from finding out about Dwija? You'd better stop for the curiosity to get here".
"But that alone will not be able to change my mind just like that, Ms. Ning, it makes me even more curious about the sacred tomb, it's possible that I can uncover the mystery of the sacred tomb later".
"Then what if you don't succeed and instead you will be the next victim?"
"Mom, I will not give up so easily, although I will eventually become the next victim even if it is, I will not give up so easily".
Nadhira was more curious about what happened in the remote village, he did not expect that there is still such a village in the era today, Nadhira was eager to get out of the house to see her but Ningsih kept forbidding her from leaving the house.
The sound of small creatures began to sound loudly from the house, and several times the sound of birds chirping at night with joy, while Nadhira can only stay silent in the room while thinking about Theo and also Mr. Mun who is outside the house.
"Bak eat first, I have made instant noodles soto flavor" said Ningsih who woke Nadhira from daydreams.
"Oh yes, ma'am, sorry to bother Bu Ningsih".
"No matter what, let's eat mumpung still warm before cold".
"Yes, Miss Ning, thank you"
Nadhira stared at the bowl of instant noodles and also a glass of warm tea with a slight smile, he said, when the spatter like this will feel very suitable to enjoy the warmth of instant noodles let alone food with the same as today.
Nadhira began to sip the hot instant noodle soup, it felt as if it would taste so delicious with a sprinkling of chili slices on it, Nadhira had never eaten instant noodles all this time, just this time he tasted it so that Nadhira was so amazed and really enjoyed the delicious taste of instant noodles made from Ningsih.
"Mom Ning, have they both eaten?" Nadhira asked in the middle of his meal.
"You take it easy Ma'am, if they want them to be able to cook it themselves, there is complete with cooking equipment and a variety of instant noodle flavors exist".
"Yes, ma'am, I'm just worried about them".
