"Rania you believe in me the same, right? after this we release the soul of Mbah Karto from the winding dragon-headed snake. After that you can go back with Mbah Karto first. I still have to release my mother from the torture of Leak's followers. If you stay here with me, Mbah Karto's body in the human realm will weaken even more. And his soul will be stuck here forever."
"But Ma'am, I don't want to go back without you." I looked into Mbak Ayu's face even deeper, there was such great sadness in both eyes.
"Lu has to go Rania. I will ask the woman to release the soul of Mbah Karto right now. After this I myself will negotiate with all of them, I can not let my mother's soul be confined in this dark realm forever. Please understand, for the rest of my life, I have never been devoted to my mother. Maybe this is the only way that I can repay my mother's services, I want you to rest in peace in the realm of eternity."
Ayu continued to persuade and reassure me, if he would be fine without me. Even so, what I fear is that Mbak Ayu is stuck with the seduction of Leak's followers. Because I know, they can't just give all the wishes Mbak Ayu. There must be a price to pay, and I'm afraid if they manage to seduce Ms Ayu and make her a ritual stakeholder.
"Why are you going to give everything for us? with just one approval, you can get everything. If only liberating the old man's soul was very easy. But to release your mother's soul is impossible. Candidate Arang deliberately punishes the soul of your mother, as a penance for her sin for betraying the covenant. But if you want, you can fix everything. And your mother's soul can be forgiven. Just tell me what is your decision Dahayu? before Candidate Arang came and destroyed all human souls." said the woman in black robes by pointing at me and also Mbah Karto.
"Let them both go first, and we can talk about everything after you let them go. I'll still be here to negotiate with you so we can discuss forgiveness for my mother."
The black-robed woman darted into the wall behind her Mbah Karto. He flicked his black robe against the wall, then the dragon-headed snake came out with Mbah Karto's soul in its circumference. With the woman's command, the snake threw Mbah Karto's soul into the air.
Whuuus.
We both darted to catch Mbah Karto's weak soul. He only closed his eyes because he had run out of energy while in nature. It seems that Mbak Ayu shed tears, he could not bear to see Mbah Karto's condition in such a way.
"Hurry and go Rania. I'll be back soon after my business here is done."
"But Ma'am, if they trap you how? I don't want you to get lost practicing black magic like them."
"Gue's okay, Rania. Whatever happens, it's all for the good of everyone. Which is clear I'll be right back to follow you."
"But Ma'am."
Ayu's mother patted me on the shoulder and then smiled her smile. He asked me to leave immediately before Calon Arang came and saw me in the Mangrahi realm.
"Please Ran, go. Don't make me feel more guilty. If the Charcoal Candidate comes, you all will not be able to easily leave this realm. Unless I'm going to be okay, there has to be a price to pay."
Mbak Ayu's explanation makes me more dilemma, I can only cry imagining things that should not happen. Ayu's mother led me to a huge blinding hole, where we came and had to part ways. He pushed me and Mbah Karto into the hole. Slowly I couldn't see Ayu's face anymore and I couldn't feel anything more.
Whuuus.
I was thrown back into the human realm. I woke up in a lying position. Then I look for the whereabouts of Mbak Ayu. He still remained in the same position, sitting with his legs crossed.
"Mbak Ayu Ma'am!" I nodded by shaking his body.
Deghs.
My heart was beating so hard, my breath was so strong. It turns out not only my gut feeling, but Mr. Jarwo Juda already knows everything.
"Then why did Mr. Jarwo let Mbak Ayu go to nature that sir? meaning that Mr Jarwo deliberately wants to hand over Mbak Ayu to the Leak worship group? should Mr. Jarwo stop the intention of Mbak Ayu, not even ask him to go with me huhuhu."
"I'm sorry Nduk, I'm powerless to say it. The night after I came home from your house, Dahayu chased me and told me everything. He wanted to go alone to the Mangrahi realm to bring home the soul of Mbah Karto. In addition, he wanted to free the soul of his late mother who was confined in that nature. That's why he says goodbye to you to return to Jakarta. But you were determined to go back with him. After hearing my explanation earlier about Mbah Karto's true condition, you even want to go alone to that realm. That's why I said that Dahayu will go with you. He only gave the code with a nod of his head, if he was willing to go with you. Dahayu does not want you to be wretched in nature, I have to agree to it. And earlier I had reminded him, that he might be asked to be the regent of the ritual as the price he had to pay. But Dahayu firmly agreed, he did not want all innocent people dragged into his family's problems."
No time Mr. Jarwo continued his speech, the sound of Mbah Darmi screaming. Mr. Jarwo asked me to come to Mbah Darmi, while he had to stay here guarding the supernatural portal.
I rushed out to Mbah Karto's room. Wati was crying hugging Mbah Darmi.
"What happened to Mbah Karto?" manya panic.
"Mbah Karto had time to move his body, but he had difficulty breathing and convulsions. That's why Mbah Darmi screamed in fear."
I looked at the pale face of Mbah Karto, his body felt cold with a bang from his convulsions. I bowed my head and felt no tears pouring down.
I ask them to recite the holy verses of Allah. I told Mbah Darmi to be ready to face whatever the circumstances are. Because no one knows the life or death of someone.
...May all be well Allah, Amen 😇🙏...
...Seriate....
