While the Script is Drawn

Mosaic 21 - Baphomet

Suddenly, the room was rowdy. Adis, the history student who was sitting in the middle of the class, suddenly her eyes bulged as if to come out. Then he screamed like a possessed man. And indeed trance. Adis ransacked chairs, bags, laptops, books and slammed into the classroom wall. Lecturer panicked. Everyone panicked. Some guy in the class tried to calm Adis down. The chick gets away to the corners of the room, terrified. Adis rages not because of. Then, one by one the people in the room were acting like Adis. In fact, even the Lecturer went berserk. All trance. Everything's raving. Except for a guy with thick glasses. She's terrified. He walked out of the class looking for help.

Then the next day the plastered clear on the title of the national newspaper: One Class University Semarang Possession of the Spirit.

"Lo must see this, Bay," said Mario. He handed a flasdisk to Bayu.

Mario and Bayu have been best friends since High School. They chose the same college. Although different religions, devout Bayu runs five times, Mario never absent to church every Sunday unless there is an important obstacle, they can tolerate each other.

"This is Adis's flasdisk. In this flasdisk, I think there is an answer to why Adis is acting like that" said Mario gamang.

"Where did you find this, Yo?" ask Bayu. His gaze was still on his girlfriend who was lying silent on the hospital bed. An infusion hose extended into his hands. Adis was in a coma after days of being possessed by an evil spirit, people said.

"Yesterday, when one class was possessed. I managed to secure the laptop, crumpled it but it looks like it can still be repaired. Fd is stuck. Lepi is home now. Which makes me surprised the file in this fd," said Mario while fixing his oblique round glasses.

Bayu immediately took the laptop in his bag. After turning the thing on, he plugs in the Fd that Mario gave to the laptop. In Fd there is a file, Adis thesis plans. Random raw writings.

Bayu was stunned by the contents of the file. He was brought in to remember myths and conspiracy theories.

Her boyfriend's thesis revives old theories of ancient history. Adis's thesis title, "Satanic Symbolism Synchro On Wilhelminaplein"

Raga Adis was lying helplessly in the hospital. But his soul was now in a dark room. He can't move. His hands and feet were tied to a cold flat table with a pentagram. People in black robes and masked beaks of birds swarmed over him. Torches lit fires in the corners of the room, dimly lit.

The people in black robes and masked beaks of the bird were singing. A cult song. A ritual worship is underway. Adis shakes in place. He wanted to scream but not a word came out. Those people surrounded Adis as if He was the center of gravity. In fact, Adis is the tumbal of the ritual.

The body of Adis was burned with fire from a torch in the hand of a man in black robes and masked with the beak of the bird. Adis' body engulfed in a burning fire. Like wood in an old fireplace. Adis screamed in despair. In the embers of the fire, Adis could see a figure more terrible than the fire that devoured him. The figure that gives goosebumps to anyone: a three-horned goat head. He who is mentioned as the king of demons: Baphomet.

Bayu and Mario are already in the front yard of the historic Lawang Sewu building at around nine p.m. Lawang Sewu, an ancient building of Dutch heritage is located to the west of Tugu Muda Semarang. One of the proud old buildings of the city of Atlas was built on February 27, 1904. The famous building is very haunted. It was even used as a test location for several television stations.

"Reading Adis' notes, I remember the novel that discusses pagan symbols in the Museum of Fatahillah Jakarta," said Mario who is also a history student such as Adis. Little did he know about the symbols of kabbalah and conspiracy theories.

"You mean, the things that smell of pagan symbols in Fatahillah Museum are also in lawang sewu?" tanya Bayu asked for confidence.

"Can be. Both Fatahillah and Lawang Sewu museums are buildings made in the Netherlands. Since March 1602, the Dutch who colonized our nation is more famous by the name of the VOC. And it's no secret that the VOC is the screen organization of Vrijmetselaren, the Freemansory fraternity."

"You mean that the satanic brotherhood really exists?"

"Satan worshippers, Satanists or occultists are among the accusations made against the group. Mason was originally a fraternity of masons in Scotland. And Mason is a development of the Illuminati group" Mario said.

"The illuminati? The old fraternity that kept Holly Grail secret? Mary Magdalene, the rose of Jesus Christ? The forerunner of the templar team?"

Mario nodded.

"13 October 1307, the day of the slaughter of the Templars for deviating from the Church.”

"See Adis's note, he called the young monument The Sacred Sextum" Bayu said as he showed his girlfriend's note file that he had moved from laptop to smartphone to Mario.

"The Sacred Sextum or Hexagram is a very famous Freemason symbol. The symbol***** or the phallus being erect is described as a pyramid. The female sex is described as an inverted pyramid or cup. The symbol of intercourse, the sacred symbol of the Freemasons. Monas, the Egyptian Observix, the Eifel Tower and many more. It was all inspired by the Freemason's sacred symbol of intercourse.  Unification. Phine with Grail, between Mars and Venus, between Masculinity and Femininity. It then became the Hexagram symbol that is now known as one of the strongest symbols of the modern world" Mario explained. Bayu was amazed at the cleverness of his best friend. Mario can't get out of the book. He's a real nerd.

Both Mario and Bayu both looked at Tugu Muda from the front page of lawang sewu with a different perspective than before.

"Yes, although we know that the Young Monument was not built in the days of the VOC but Freemaason was always everywhere. From time to time. From time to time. Spreading his energy around the world,"

Bayu sighed bitterly, "Let's go inside to prove Adis' records."

(Semarang Young Monument Looks Like The Sacred Sextum, a fusion of Mars and Venus.)

***

The atmosphere of Lawang Sewu tonight seemed quiet. Bayu and Mario head to Lawang Sewu's main building after paying a ticket. Only ten thousand. They walk with restless thoughts. They only have half an hour before lawang sewu is closed to the public.

They wanted to look for Freemason symbols as Adis wrote in his raw notes. Like several steps in the main building which numbered thirteen (the sacred number for the Freemason brotherhood), key stoone (key stone) carved with roses, Eye of Horus, the symbol of Hexagram, and so on, The Skull and Bone Symbol, the symbol of the Bone and Skull. And some steps with code 666.

Lawang Sewu with his mystical and horror aura, made Bayu and Mario shudder in horror. Just thought about retreating. The awesomeness of lawang sewu is already mashyur. That said, someone who enters the building alone can get lost and can not find a way out, lost into another world. That said, the basement was guarded by a large snake with a human head. That said, the underground tunnel is connected to the stopover of Queen Roro Kidul. A series of sightings such as the ghost of Dutch soldiers and noni Dutch. Even the voices of screams in the squatting prison.

"What do you want?" Suddenly someone stood in front of Mario and Bayu. Both men were shocked.

One of the security officers. An old man who looked like he should have retired. His face was pale, his wrinkles were numerous, there was an***fly under his eyebrows, large. The old man looked at them with a hostile look.

"Kok kandanane do angel*" grunted the old man.

"Punten sir, we just want to look around while taking pictures, sir," said Bayu politely.

"Ojo goroh's. You guys know the dangers. Even the dolanan. Your chance seng wedok kae wes not kandani but ora digubris. Nglakoni ritual nganti Setane metu. Wes kono do balek. Prayer, zinc nibble gae urip ben do not kenopo-nopo**."

Bayu and Mario looked at each other, surprised at the words of this Father. Girl friend? A ritual? Demon out? Whatdoes thatmean?

He turned and walked away from Bayu and Mario. The old man's steps were so fast. Bayu tried to chase the old man. But when passing through the turn, the old man was no longer there. As if it were swallowed up by night.

Both Bayu and Mario can only be shocked. 

"What did you mean by that father?" said Bayu did not understand. "What does he mean a girl is Adis? What ritual is meant? Rituals so that the devil rises."

Hearing the word ritual, Mario remembered something. "Bay, try borrowing hape lo. I want to see Adis's note."

Bayu gives his hape to Mario. With a serious face Mario is looking for something in Adis' notes.

"Try this denger.  I see a little silhouetto of a man. Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango. Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me. Galileo, Magnifico. I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me. His life from this monstrosity. Easy come, easy go, will you let me go. Bismillah! We will not let you go. Mama Mia, let me go Beelzebub has a devil put help for me, for me, for me."

Bayu who likes karaoke immediately recognize the sentence. "That's not the Queen song? Bohemian Rhapsodi?"

"Yes, I just did too. There is a lot of controversy about this song. One of the most believed, this song tells about the ritual of sacrificing a boy for a devil. The rituals of the Masonic group," said Mario shudder in horror.

"No" said Mario suddenly.

"meaning?" Bayu doesn't understand.

"Adis is not performing the ritual sacrifice of the Devil. But performing the Devil-calling ritual" said Mario with a pale face.

Bayu wanted to argue but he broke it. Adis has always looked like an ordinary girl in general. It was unbelievable, Adis could relate to such mystical things.

"Adis's record is unconstructural. Still disheveled. Still raw. But look at this one." Mario passed the phone to his owner.

Bayu read in the section that Mario showed.

"These oracles, incense, candles and spells confused me. But I keep trying. And I have to remember. Don't ever give them my birth name or I'll be fucked." Bayu read Adis' notes carefully.

"Lo ever read Bartimaeus Trilogy?" ask Mario. Bayu shakes not understanding.

"It's a novel by Jonathan Stroud from England."

"What relation?"

"Gue inget aja, Adis's note reminds of the Jin summoning ritual as in the novel."

“This is getting ridiculous! A freemason? Devil Rituals? Jin calling?” Bayu groaning.

"Ehem." Someone patted Bayu's shoulder. Surprised by Bayu and Mario. Again a guard of Lawang Sewu building.

"Sorry Mas. Wants to be closed." said the guard. A young black man.

"Yes, Mum." Bayu. Eventually Bayu and Mario could not continue their goal, proving the Satanic symbols in lawang sewu. They decided to go home.

"Mas, you guard who has a mole under the eyebrows now where? I want to talk to him" said Mario.

 With a puzzled face, the Guard said, "Which guard's father, Mas? Tonight I'm alone in the guard."

Both Mario and Bayu looked at each other bitterly. They're ngacir.

***

Bayu drove his white scoopy towards his boarding house. Mario is riding in the back.

Mario was busy with his thoughts. Many things disturbed his mind. There are many secrets that he keeps. He who secretly loves Adis, his best friend's girlfriend. There's no way he took Adis from Bayu. That feeling often left him in agony. Between love and friendship. Every day Mario is haunted by disturbing emotions. Although in the end he chose to maintain his friendship with Bayu. Close up his feelings.

Start with the secret of why only he is not possessed when one class is possessed. The talisman sero, he was sure because of the talisman given by his grandfather. The talisman was indeed made from the tail of Sero. Garages. His grandfather gave the amulet when he was twelve. And since carrying that amulet everywhere a lot of lucky happened. He was hit by a sedan while cycling. He was not hurt, but his bike was crushed. Once also someone threw a stone at him when there was a brawl between his High School and the SMA next door. Less than a mile of stone smashed his glasses, peeping into his eyes.

Mario also remembers a few days ago he was so close to Adis. Her best friend's boyfriend spends time with her. Discuss, discuss the history of the Masons, the history of Lawang Sewu, the role of the VOC and ancient rituals. At first Mario only thought their discussion was just a matter of adding insight to enrich their thesis task.

"Bay, turn.we're going to the hospital," Mario said suddenly.

"What is no kemaleman? There's already Adis' family guarding."

"I don't feel good. Not calm," said Mario restlessly.

"Yaudah, I turn. I am not calm either."

***

There was a commotion in the room where Adis was treated. It appears that the sisters, the janitor, Mr. Satpam, the brother and younger brother Adis, they are holding the body of Adis who is confused. Both Adis' hands and feet were tied at the ends of the cots. Mario and Bayu who just got to panic immediately saw this tragedy. What the hell is going on?

Adis back possessed by evil spirits. That's the information that Bayu and Mario get.

"Ustazd is coming soon" said Adis' older brother. “She's been half an hour like this. This is a common disease. It's possessed by evil spirits.” 

Aarrr... Aarrrr... Gelonjotan.

Shortly afterwards Ustazd Sulaiman came, half running.

"Tolog Ustazd My sister,"

Aarrg... Aaaarg...

"Please help me, read the verse of the chair as much as possible" Ustazd Sulaiman said. His voice was firm, but full of strength.

***

"I, the Devil's Servant. Listen up!! you're Adam's grandchildren. The son of the Devil will rise soon. You will perish. Hahaha," said a voice from inside Adis' body.

"Who is the son of the Devil, O servant of the damned devil" said Ustazd Sulaiman without a shred of trepidation.

The voice from inside Adis' body roared.

"One calls him Baphomet. One called him..."

" ... "

"Daajjjaaalllll"

For the sake of sounding the name echoed, the walls shook, the glass broke, everyone who was there was thrown a few meters from the place, like a molotov cocktail had exploded violently in the room.

Jepara, September 19, 2017

*          Children are hard to tell.

**        Do not lie. You do not know the great danger. Even made to fool around. Your girl's friend I told you but not digubris. Perform the ritual until the demon actually comes out. Already, there on home. Pray, ask God to let everything be okay.
