Marlangens
CHAPTER 24

That night when all my friends were asleep, I felt restless. Bi Imah did not come home this afternoon to prepare lunch and dinner. I was worried something happened to Bi Imah. Without telling my other friends I came out of the villa alone, the air was so cold. I close my jacket and walk down the road to the village. A few times I saw a soft man who was laughing, but I didn't care. My thoughts are with Bi Imah and her son.

When I reached the front of Bi Imah house I also knocked on it, Bi Imahpun came out crying. It turns out that the youngest child of Bi Imah was in a high fever, but this morning when I came here he was fine.

"The youngest when sick like this Bi, this morning he looked good," I said worriedly.

"So day, Non. Shortly after Juragan Jamal returned to collect the debt. Maybe my son was so scared because he saw me being yelled at by Juragan Jamal"

This must be his action, I will not let him make the child of Bi Imah as his growth.

I also rushed out of Bi Imah's house to go to Juragan Jamal's house.

"Where are you going?" ask Bi Imah

"Jamal Nurse's House," I said coldly.

******

I got in front of Juragan Jamal's house. Turns out the gate of his house is not he key, I just enter. I knocked on his door a few times, but there was no word. When I knocked for the umpteenth time the door opened.

"You who? Why do you visit people's houses at night?" juragan Jamal asked unfriendly.

"Stop your craziness to make these people in your village your sacrificial tumbles!" salakku without further ado.

"Don't talk nonsense," his gerammya held back in anger.

"I know you perform the ritual pesugihan jaran panoleh..."

But before I finished my talk suddenly from the back of someone smothering my mouth, I tried to fight and scream but my energy was less than the one who smothered me. I was taken into the house and put into a room filled with the smell of incense.

They tied me up and stuffed my mouth with a cloth. I'm trying to thrash. But my energy is running out, why am I so stupid. Come in here alone without thinking.

"I don't know who you are, but you're great to know if I'm doing the prank, too" Juragan Jamal chuckled.

Then suddenly the person who was holding me whispered in Juragan Jamal's ear.

"Oh so you're one of the young people in that big villa? You should have fun, sweet lady. But instead choose to go into the lion's den."

I also grinned and was very angry. This man in front of me is so proud.

Then the man sat down cross-legged in front of the incense that smelled very pungent. His mouth twitched then suddenly appeared the figure of a black horse with fiery red eyes that was now looking at me with a terrible look. I could hear his snorting, what the horse would do to me.

As the horse drew nearer to me, I suddenly without realizing it I had already muttered such an unfamiliar song in my ear. Then out of nowhere appeared a giant snake so big, the biggest snake I've ever seen.

I saw the snake wrapped around the horse demon which now looked thrashing and grimacing. Before the horse demon completely disappeared. Then the snake walked towards Juragan Jamal who looked very frightened.

The snake entwined the body of Juragan Jamal who tried to scream for help. I could hear the sound of bones being crushed before the snake released the lifeless body of the Jamal Dragon with bulging eyes. The fate of Juragan Jamal fort that had seized me was also not far from the jury.

Then the snake disappeared after doing all that.

******

My body was very limp, as I was trying to untie me. I heard someone calling my name. I wanted to say it but my mouth was still covered in cloth.

It turns out that the one who called me that was Adit, he came with Aldi. Adit immediately threw away the cloth used to clothe my mouth, he also untied me. Then Adit swiftly carried me who looked limp to get out of the cursed house. Adit and Aldi only look at the body of Juragan Jamal and his tile.

Outside Juragan Jamal's house there is already Bi Imah and some residents. When Adit and Aldi came out of the house, suddenly out of nowhere, the house was on fire. Residents tried to spray water for fear that the fire would spread to other homes. But the fire grew even bigger until the magnificent and luxurious house was reduced to charcoal.

******

The next day we decided to go back to Chicago. Actually I'm not good for them, maybe because of me they're not comfortable here.

"I'm sorry because of me you chose to go home" I said not well.

"It's not your fault, Langen. I want to go back. Papah's part has come home, pity yourself at home," replied Sella

We also prepared to enter the car after putting all the luggage into the trunk. Suddenly Adit approached me.

"Other times if you want to ambush criminals hijack me yes," he said in a joking tone.

"Yes sorry", "my reply was not good.

"It's okay that it's important that you survive" Adit said as he stroked my hair gently. "Oh yes I want to give this to you. I actually wanted to give it to you after we got home from your old house, but I forgot. I found this just as you took a wooden box in the closet" He continued while giving me a photo that turned out to be a photo of my mother. When I turned the photo over there was writing.

"THE GONDHOTAMA MENTAL HOSPITAL"
