Before 365 Days
36. Serpent Queen

The truck drivers were confused as to why they stopped at a dead end.

The drivers look at each other.

"Any, why are we here! This boat wants to be flanked?" ask one of the drivers to his partner.

"You asked me that, we were confused too! If you dare, better ask Mr. Ruman!" answer one of the drivers.

"Already, already! No need to argue. We've got here, automatically, we'll also know, what's really going on. So, don't ask too many questions. We're just here working, don't have much behavior!" one of the third drivers reminded the two of his colleagues.

Pak Kyai and Kang Ridwan looked at the paved road that had been paved with many wild plants, and trees.

"What do you see, Kang!" ask Mr. Kyai.

Kang Ridwan smiled, "many, Kyai, we just bismillah. I'll take the pomegranate stick first."

Kang Ridwan walked to his car, and took the stick.

"Sir Kyai, is it true that we are going to take down the bush? That's the limit, I'm afraid ...." The unfinished ruman said, cut by Mr. Kyai.

"Yes, there is a barrier there, Mr. Ruman, but it is not a wall like you see it. Let's just hand it over all the same yah!" said Mr. Kyai calmly.

Ruman nodded, he complied. Saras held her husband's arm very tight.

Kang Ridwan then approached Marsel, Adam, Dimas and Aziz.

"You take each scythe to slash the bush, after my cue!" kang Ridwan.

The four of them nodded simultaneously. Then take out each of the equipment that Ruman had prepared.

Kang Ridwan came forward and felt the bushes. He then closed his eyes and prayed with his mind. Asking the Khaliq to facilitate his affairs.

"Sir Kyai, when I say Takbir, you can do your meditation" Kang Ridwan said before beginning to take the lead.

Mr. Kyai nodded, he was ready to position with his prayer beads, he helped do'a for the bodybuilder.

The truck drivers who did not understand, became creepy and astonished at what Kang Ridwan would do. However, they choose to be silent not to ask, they choose to watch, and go forward if their energy is needed.

"Bismillah, let's start now!" said Kang Ridwan, his right hand he used to carry the stick, while his left hand he held a scythe and led in front, slashing all the bushes and trees in front of him.

Kang Ridwan slashed trees very easily, even though the trees were medium and large, can only be cut down with an ax, or not a chainsaw. But Kang Ridwan only used a scythe.

"You are lined up, in harmony with me," Kang Ridwan ordered to Marsel cs.

Marsel cs, then went ahead and aligned the pace with Kang Ridwan.

They also cut easily.

After up to a quarter, they felt an unusual air, cold but not cold in general, but the air created by the magical world. The feathers they bristled.

Marsel saw many apparitions, until he was slightly agape. His sweat began to pour out in fear. Several times he swallowed his own saliva.

"Marsel, don't look at them if you can't, just look ahead, slash everything in front of you" said Kang Ridwan.

Marsel glanced at Kang Ridwan and obeyed his orders.

"Okay, Kang!" shouting Marsel.

Marsel felt the heat on his back, his head a little dizzy, it felt like he wanted to vomit.

"Stop a minute!" yelled Kang Ridwan.

"Let's go cross-legged, for you, do your best, because this time we will fight the queen. Hope you get on the black in a good way!" said Kang Ridwan then started cross-legged followed by the others.

Despite feeling each other strange and wanting to ask a lot, they chose to be quiet and obey Kang Ridwan's orders.

Marsel cs began to recite the words of Alloh. And Kang Ridwan as well.

The snake then slowly stretched out its body. Great, long and tall, if seen with the naked eye, people will not be strong if not certain people.

"Why do you disturb my place, my kingdom!" the Serpent Queen said.

In fact, throughout the bodybuilding, many demits surrounded them, many wanting to disturb, however, with the sticks that Kang Ridwan had brought, all of the demits stepped aside not daring to approach. Because if they get close, their bodies will burn because of the stick.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to bother you, I just want to open the way, if you want to help, can you move for a while!" kang Ridwan.

The snake grinned, showing its venomous fangs. He glanced at the pomegranate stick held by Kang Ridwan.

Then the snake changed into a human being, with a typical queen-style dress with a crown and a dangling scarf.

"I know what you're coming from, and I don't intend to stop you either. But, you have to go through it yourself. I can't give you a way!" the Serpent Queen.

The Serpent Queen danced weakly, her gaze luring everyone who looked. But not for Kang Ridwan.

"For all of you may open your eyes, except you, Marsel! Keep your eyes closed" Kang Ridwan ordered.

Marsel wondered why he was the only one who could not open his eyes. And so with the others. But, they were just silent, not daring to ask at a time like this.

The snake smiled charmingly. The breezy air pierced their bones, a fine mist began to appear, then swamps appeared before their eyes.

"Allohu Akibar! Allohu Akbar's! Allohu Akbar!" Kang Ridwan called for takbir.

Mr. Kyai who was still standing looking far ahead, got a signal through the smooth wind that entered into his ears.

"Allohu Akbar! Allohu Akbar's! Allohu Akbar!"

Mr. Kyai then calmed down, he went cross-legged and began to meditate.

While Wulan, Saras, Ruman, and the three truck drivers just looked at each other not understanding.

"Om, Auntie, we'd better join the prayer, hopefully the business goes well!"

Ruman and Saras nodded at the same time.

The snake is still dancing. Kang Ridwan then told Marsel to return, and with the aim, to bring the boats that had been prepared in front of the Swamp.

"Marsel, keep your eyes closed. Run as fast as you can, never look back, what you heard. Even if it's the sound of a rose! Go to where it was, get the three truckers here with the boat, and you don't have to come back here!" kang Ridwan.

"Okay, Kang!" marsel answered with his eyes still closed.

Actually, Marsel was still confused, why should he close his eyes, while he had to run back, could he see the road?

Marsel immediately turned around and then ran in the straight direction as fast as possible.

Adam, scratch his head that doesn't itch.

Dimas and Aziz look cute. Because they are used to doing this. The difference, this time with Kang Ridwan.

Throughout Marsel's escape, he was heavily harassed. He felt some creatures pierce his body. Her body is now hot. He ran back faster. He then heard a voice he knew.
