The Three Chosen
296. Ga Main Main Main Main
In a house, Diki and her father were sitting side by side. In front of them sat an old man named Ki Celeng in his shabby clothes. If seen from his appearance can be guessed if the man is a shaman.
Ki Celeng is a reliable shaman who is known by the Diki family for generations. His age was very old and according to his confession, he also knew the late great-grandfather Diki. That meant Ki Celeng's age was over a hundred years. But even though his age is very old, Ki Celeng's appearance still looks younger than his actual age.
Called Ki Celeng because when he was young Ki Celeng with his friends liked to explore the forest and lived for months in the forest. The food that he ate besides the leaves was celeng meat or wild boar. Because of the frequent eating of celeng meat makes it nicknamed Ki Celeng until now.
The arrival of Diki and her father is to avenge the humiliation of Adam and his daughter. Among their extended family, only Diki and his father were the most disappointed and hurt at Adam and Nuara's rejection.
“ So it's about love yes..” said Ki Celeng while burning incense.
“ Yes Ki..,” sahut Diki.
“ But this is not just about love Ki. I am heartbroken that Adam and his Son dared to play with the feelings of My Son. Though all this time no one dared to play tricks on his feelings let alone reject the application of My Son..,” said Diki's father fiery.
Ki Celeng laughed loudly at Diki's father's words to make the two men before him frown in confusion.
“ Is there something strange Ki, why laugh.?” tanya Diki doesn't like it.
“ Gapapa. Actually the rejection of the girl is good for you, because it can make you mature and understand about a life that is not forever according to our wishes. There are things out of our control that are not going as they should.” Ki Celeng said.
“ Ki Celeng means, I am destined to be a matchmaker with Nuara.?” ask Diki.
“ So is...,” says Ki Celeng relaxed.
“ But We came here because We knew Ki Celeng could help us deflect that path. Can you Ki..?” ask Diki's father while thrusting an envelope with money.
Ki Celeng glanced at the thick-looking brown envelope. Ki Celeng knew if the amount of money given was huge and that meant he had to do a big job this time. Ki Celeng smiled meaningfully and grabbed the envelope containing the money and kept it under the pedestal he was sitting on.
“ So what do you guys want..?” ask Ki Celeng.
Diki and her father looked at each other and smiled. The flash of anger and resentment was evident in both the eyes of the child and the father.
“ Make Adam and his Son suffer. Their laws, make their lives miserable. And do not forget, make the girl an old virgin for the rest of her life for having dared to reject my Son.” Diki's father said as he clenched his hands.
“ It's easy. Tell me their names and where the address is. Oh yeah, do you guys have their photos..?” ki Celeng asked but Diki's father shook his head.
“ I have Yah...” said Diki while showing a photo of Adam and his wife on his phone screen.
“ When did you take this photo Dik..?” ask the father.
“ Yesterday night when We came to their house Well..,” said Diki reluctantly because we have to remember that painful moment again.
“ What can this Ki...?” ask Diki's father, who Ki Celeng has taken over.
After obtaining a photo of Adam and his wife, Ki Celeng began his perverted ritual in front of Diki and his father. He began pouring red liquid on the burning bokor until foul smelling smoke burst into the room and made Diki cough.
“ I'm not strong Well, I wait outside aja.” said Diki while closing his nose.
“ Go, let Daddy take care of everything later..,” said Diki's father while covering his nose with the tip of his shirt.
“ Weird....,” muttered Diki while shaking his head.
While inside the house looks Ki Celeng bathed in sweat. It seems Ki Celeng has to face off
with someone who has more strength than him. His arrogance made Ki Celeng reluctant to admit the prowess of his opponent.
Seeing the condition of Ki Celeng who is different from usual makes Diki's father anxious.
“ What's the matter Ki..?” ask Diki's father.
“ The beauty is they have a protector whose strength is no kidding. Even I have to spend extra energy to match him..” said Ki Celeng.
“ Oh so apparently. Their impression dares to act and reject Diki..,” said Diki's father was upset.
“ But I've managed to send a genie bully who will make them sick long and severe. There is nothing or anyone that will be able to cure the disease.”, said Ki Celeng proudly.
Hearing Ki Celeng's words made Diki's father smile with satisfaction. He imagined the misfortune and illness that Adam and his family would experience after the genie Ki Celeng sent to work to carry out his duties.
After making sure Ki Celeng sent the potions he asked for, Diki's father came out of Ki Celeng's house. He saw Diki sitting on the terrace with a blank look. Even his call was ignored by the child to force him to pat Diki's shoulder to resuscitate him.
“ Diki..!” call the father.
“ Geez Dad. Why use yelling all, ngagetin aja Yah..,” grumbled Diki while fingering his chest.
“ You who again say, invited to talk and even bengong aja..,” said the father ketus.
“ Gapapa Well, just confused how people who pass by it no one who looks here huh. They walk straight rich there's nothing here. Or maybe they are not worried about this house including Kita who stands here.” said Diki while pointing out the fence of Ki Celeng house where many people passed by.
Diki's father followed the direction the child pointed to and seemed to frown for a moment. In the heart of Diki's father confirmed what Diki said, but a moment later he dismissed his feelings and chose to take the child home.
“ That's how you feel. Do not forget that Ki Celeng is a great person, so the aura that envelops his house also feels different and a little horror. Maybe that's what makes people afraid and do not want to look here..,” said Diki's father relaxed.
“ Makes sense anyway Well. How to do Well, has the ritual been completed..?” ask Diki.
“ Udah. Ki Celeng sent the genie to hurt Adam and his son. We just wait for the results at home..,” said Diki's father with a smile.
“ I can't wait for his reaction Well..,” said Diki.
“ So we go home now..,” take Diki's father while holding Diki's arm and take him out of the area of Ki Celeng's house.
“ I said the same Ki Celeng Yah..,” said Diki.
“ Don't, Ki Celeng is busy. You better not disturb, or you want the ritual to fail and the money that We came out was in vain.
Diki nodded in understanding then followed her father out of Ki Celeng's house with a face that sparkled happily.
