Rania's Invisible Search
PART 246 MADE A DECISION.
"Can we trust your words? Moreover, you're twins, you may be intent on trapping us." Mbak Ayu said suspiciously.
"I can't prove anything to you. Because the fact that we're brothers can't be changed. And that's the reason that's gonna make you doubt me. But if you guys want to help, I'd be very grateful. Because I only want to rest in peace in the realm of eternity. My place is no longer here, so help me get back to my realm." He said with a great aura of sadness.
I just kept quiet, looking at him with pity. It seemed like he was truly sincere in saying his request, to return to the realm of immortality. But I still have to be vigilant, and monitor everything first. Mbak Ayu asked, whether we can trust the speech of the figure of Bening or not. I immediately explained, if you have to consider everything before making a decision. Because we just met and interacted directly with the figure of Bening. So there's still a lot to find out first.
"Where is your body right now? You just said it was in Mbah Wongso's ritual place. But we don't know where it is?" Ask Mbak Ayu while walking closer to the figure of Bening.
"The location is in the forest on the outskirts of Rawa Belatung Village. My body that's been living bones are still there. Because they had no intention of burying him again. Especially after the departure of Mbah Wongso, no one ever came there again, including Pakde ku who now inherits the power of Simbah. I can't help anything, because Wening is my brother anyway, and I can't hurt him. So I'm just asking for your sincerity to help perfect my body. It's the only desire to return to the realm of immortality."
Mbak Ayu breathed a long breath, according to him helping Bening without getting help back is very detrimental to us. And Ma'am Ayu is a bit heavy to help him. Actually I can understand Bening's position, he just wants to rest in peace. And don't want to interfere with worldly matters, let alone help us to hurt his twin brother. Bening really doesn't want to deal with human problems.
"I think he's really sincere to ask help Ma'am. He has no desire to help us with his twin. But he also doesn't stop us from finding out the truth about his family. He is neutral, not on anyone's side. Perhaps we better help him, so that his soul can return to the realm of immortality."
"Lu's sure Ran? You're not afraid he's gonna trap us on purpose?"
"InshaAllah Ma'am. We have to make sure everything first. And you're clear, you can go now. We'll figure out a way to perfect your body." I said as I sat down and leaned my head.
Shortly after, Bening's figure darted away. Ma'am Ayu sat folding his legs on the chair. He discussed what steps we would take next.
"Lu's sure there won't be any new problems, with you helping Bening's soul return to his realm? Wening's fear grew more furious, if he knew we were helping his twin soul return to his realm. Wening can become more and more, and do everything to get revenge. Because from the beginning, he had evil intentions. It could be crazy, boy!" Said Ma'am Ayu with a long breath.
"You know how else, Ma'am. I can see the soul of Bening strayed in this mortal realm. Moreover, he himself asked to be perfected his body. That means Bening is really tired of floating around here. My job is to help souls like him return to nature. Let no bodyless soul be taken advantage of by evil men like Wening."
"Well, if that's your decision, I follow you. But you have to be vigilant, because every day you are in the same place as Wening. Don't let him suspect that you know who he really is. And hopefully the Bening doesn't leak about you already recognizing the twin."
"We'll see tomorrow. I can see for myself, if there is a change in attitude from Wening or not. We just broke up tomorrow, so we help the soul or not. Hopefully Bening can be trusted, because I do not see the aura of revenge on his figure."
That night, I called Mr. Jarwo and told him everything. It seems that he does not know anything about the events that occurred in Rasa Belatung Village. He was surprised to hear my story, about the figure of Wening who turned out to be the grandson of the late Mbah Wongso. And to ascertain what really happened, Mr. Jarwo will visit all villagers. And he will also ensure the ritual place Mbah Wongso on the outskirts of the village.
"You don't have to go back to Nduk Village. Let me make sure of everything. You just take care of yourself there, don't let that girl hurt you. Because once you tell me everything, I can see through the mind. If that girl has already begun to execute a plan to bring you down." Obviously Mr. Jarwo across the phone there.
"God willing, sir, Rania will take good care of herself. Thanks for helping." Say it before you end that phone call.
Ma'am Ayu asked me to rest immediately, because it is now almost two o'clock at night. And we're still awake, while I have to leave for the office in the morning. I lay my body in bed, but my mind was not calm and worried about many things. I hope my decision to trust Bening is right. And he told nothing to his twin brother.
