Rania's Invisible Search
PART 181 FLASHBACK 1ST.
I feel like I want to use the magic I have to expel him. But that female demit didn't hurt me or anyone around me. So what should I do to him. Oh, my God, there are things that make me uncomfortable. I closed my eyes and was sleepy. Suddenly he approached me. His figure rounded his two reddened eyes. Suddenly I was surprised by the heart beating unbecoming. I ignored his figure and turned the other way. But just closing my eyes, her figure appeared in my dream.
...🍂Flashback on 🍂...
Narsih name, jaipong dancer girl from Central Java who is very famous in the region. He was standing in front of the stage wearing a red kebaya and a red scarf hanging from his neck. Narsih smiled sweetly then waved her hand at all the spectators below the stage. Narsih has succeeded in entertaining the audience, and getting a lot of saweran. In a small village far from civilization, Narsih lives with his Worship. At the age of seventeen years, Narsih has often got the job of dancing from stage to stage. The dance group, led by a handsome and dashing young man named Bardi, has been getting more jobs since Narsih joined the group.
Narsih's makeup is done, she immediately performs the ritual before she starts dancing. Jaipong dance is said to be attached to the mystical world and many rituals.
"Dek Narsih you're looking at it now, aren't you?" Titah Bardi as the head of the dance group.
Narsih immediately took the stage and performed a jaipong dance performance. The music of gongs and drums is already playing. Bardi introduced Narsih as the lead dancer in his group. The Landlords, and the Dutch Meneers dance with Narsih. Many tile who do not want to lose scrambling to dance with the young girl.
Bardi ordered Narsih to use her shawl to get the important guests to dance with her. So that he can get more money. Sure enough, the payment he received was huge. Not to mention what he got from the audience. Narsih was very grateful to Bardi, for giving him the opportunity to dance at his dance center. While Narsih was packing her things, Bardi asked her to dance at the house of the Dutch Meneer. Narsih immediately jumped up in excitement and fell in Bardi's arms.
"Be careful Deck, your legs can be sprained and you won't be able to dance at Meneer Jansen's house. She'll be mad at me later, because you've been waiting at her house." Bardi said while holding Narsih's shoulder.
"Well I'm sorry. I was too happy to imagine the amount of money I would get later. I want to buy land for Simbah to lay on." Narsih said with a happy smile.
"Let's go to Meneer Jansen's house." Take Bardi at that time.
Arriving at the house of Sang Meneer, saw some roof tiles were on guard. And from his dance group, Bardi only invited Narsih.
"Where are the other friends? Why are we just here?" Asked Narsih with a plain face.
"Meneer Jansen only asked you to come here. So you're the only one who's gonna dance. Because this is a special request from Meneer!" Bardi answered nervously.
Narsih seemed to wonder in his heart, about what special request Bardi meant earlier.
"Hurry up to the Deck, I'll just wait here. You've been waiting for Meneer Jansen inside." Bardi said with a sweat that soaked his forehead.
Narsih was confused, because in the house there was no music that accompanied. Hodiernal
he was standing in the middle of the Dutch Meneers. When the two tiles went out of the house, from the sidelines of the door Narsih saw the face of Bardi who looked anxious when looking at him.
Shortly after the door closed, one of the Meneers turned on the music from the disc and asked Narsih to dance. Seen the look on Narsih's face was confused, he did not understand at all what music played by Sang Meneer. Finally Narsih obeyed the command and danced in a daze, shaking his makeup body. While dancing, Narsih's body began to be seduced by the Dutch Meneers. Seen from his face, Narsih was frightened and confused as to how. But he has no power against those powerful men. Afterwards Narsih was brought into the room by a Meneer. There was the sound of Narsih struggling for help. But nobody cares about him. Narsih tried to resist, but the Meneer was too strong for him. That night, Narsih lost her chastity at the hands of her own nation's invaders. Narsih wept bitterly, only to realize what the special request meant. The Dutch meneers only wanted his body. Narsih the jaipong dancer.
I even shed tears to see the fate of the young girl. Narsih was forced to give her sanctity because she did not understand how cruel the world was to little people like her. Then what purpose did Narsih enter into my dream and give this vision. Is this all he wants to show me. Why can't I open my eyes. Aah surely he still wants to show you other stories. Because I saw anger and resentment from the reddened look in his eyes. What has caused him is not until he shakes up until now. And the vision still continues, a dream about Narsih's dark life in the past.
After the incident, Narsih deeply regretted what had happened to her that night. He wanted to stop dancing the jaipong again, but Bardi calmed him down. And convince Narsih to keep dancing jaipong, so that he can make Simbah happy in his old age.
"You just think about what you'll get after pleasing those Meneers. Waste will secure his life, for you will have plenty of money for a better life." Bardi said while giving a wad of money to Narsih.
Narsih rounded his eyes in disbelief. It was so easy to earn a lot of money in one night. But will he continue to do work outside of his dance group. Bad thoughts have taken possession of Narsih's mind and mind, for him his holiness is gone. And there's no point in selling expensive anymore. Bardi continued to influence her, only by dancing and serving the Meneers could he more quickly scoop up money. Narsih imagined his Worship face, and impatiently wanted to immediately give a wad of money in his hands.
Jesus why Narsih even instigated with Bardi's words. And he wants to continue his work outside his own group. Though in my opinion, the Tribute will not accept the money, if you know his grandson sells his body to the striped men.
...🍂 Flashback off 🍂...
I can't bear to see Narsih's past life. At first I was very sad to see the dark events that happened to him. But the figure of Narsih turned out to want money very much. And easily affected Bardi's persuasion. I tried to wake up from my sleep, because I did not want to continue dreaming about the figure of Narsih the jaipong dancer. But suddenly the figure of Narsih screamed loudly until my eardrum was in pain. And I finally woke up from my sleep, holding both my ears.
My breath was still wheezing, and the sweat soaked my whole body. In the middle of the day I fell asleep and woke up as the sky began to twilight. It turned out that the female demit had not wanted to end her sight on me. He was still standing in the corner of my room. He glared at me, with angry eyes. He knew I was just pretending I couldn't see him. Because now Narsih's figure is coming back to me. And said he wanted to share his life story with me, so that he could be relieved and not too carried away by revenge and anger.
"All right, I admit that I can see you. Then what else do you want to share with me? Are you gone because of those Dutch Meneers?" Ask the Narsih.
He shook his head and said nothing. So what made him have such a big grudge and anger. I do not understand why his figure lasted so long from the Dutch colonial era until now. What a big wound he received before his death. I kept urging Narsih to say what made her flutter until now. But he lowered his head with a sad face. It seemed like there was a great tragedy that was hurting his inner being, so that he re-feeled the sorrow of his past.
