Ballad of Love The Dancer
Chapter 122

Sari's cry that broke the silence of the night made the entire occupants jerk awake free from the sirens that shackled them. Bagas was surprised when he opened his eyes and found Mang Aa covered in blood with Sari who was crying by his side.

"Astaghfirullah Sari, what is this?" Bagas shouted closer to Sari and checked Mang Aa's pulse.

"Innalillahi wa Inna ilaihi Raji'un .." Bagas lowered his head, he also felt Sari's sadness.

The screams of Sari and Bagas shocked Doni and the others, they were no less surprised to see the terrible scenery that was clearly plastered in plain sight. Sari who was also covered in Mang Aa blood continued to cry hysterically. He blamed himself for not being able to protect Mang Aa.

Mas Hendra and Aunt Kurnia came out of her room half-run. Aunty Kurnia immediately fell down to see Mang Aa's body stiffened with blood. Mas Hendra approached and hugged Sari's body as if limp boneless. 

"Sorry Sari mas, Sari can't take care of Mang Aa!" he said sobbing in Mas Hendra's arms.

"Don't blame yourself, this is the destiny of the Almighty!" Mas Hendra tried to calm Sari who continued to cry.

Aunt Eka, Mang Aa's wife immediately fainted to see the body of her beloved husband. So too with the princess. No one expected Mang Aa's departure to be so quick and tragic. 

Mas Hendra let go of his hug on Sari and asked Bagas to replace him keeping Sari who kept crying.

He carefully examined Mang Aa's body and found traces of evil energy on Mang Aa's body. 

"It's a staggering send someone." he murmured.

"Mang Usep did it!" answer Sari

"You sure?" yanya Mas Hendra followed Sari's head nod.

"Sari's dead both of them!" sari's answer made Hendra surprised. 

"Blood is paid for blood, life is paid for life!" said Sari lirih by staring blankly at Mang Aa's body.

Aunt Kurnia cries for the departure of her beloved sister. He did not expect, his sister would die in a miserable way. Mang Aa's wife was no less sad, she even collapsed many times and had to be taken to the room to be soothed by Hendra.

The cry of Aunt Eka felt so heartbreaking to Sari. If only he could replace Mang Aa to stay alive. He condemned his unpreparedness against the horrible-looking man last night.

Although Arjuna and Mang Usep had also died at his hands but Sari still could not forgive herself for Mang Aa's passing. The look in his eyes was blank, the memory of Mang Aa kept spinning in Sari's mind.

Still recorded clearly in his memory when Sari was in the Kasepuhan Palace. Mang Aa was so patient in facing Sari who continued to reject her existence as one of the Siliwangi breeds.

Mang Aa also patiently taught Sari some mantras for self-protection even though Sari often acts mischievous and careless. Mang Aa always smiled and never got angry at her.

Now there is no longer Mang Aa that can be asked for help. There will be no more queues of people coming to the house of Aunt Kurnia. There was no longer the Thousand Jin Prince who had been his nickname all this time.

Mas Hendra and om Bambang moved quickly to take care of Mang Aa's body. After a brief family meeting, they decided to close the meeting. Ahmad and Doni help Mas Hendra move Mang Aa's body to a more decent place.

House assistant Aunt Kurnia immediately cleaned the floor from Mang Aa's blood splash. The smell of rancid still smelled even though they had used floor cleaners for several times. Mas Hendra assisted by another nephew immediately moved Mang Aa's body to be bathed. Only the nuclear family is allowed to touch Mang Aa's corpse.

While Sari, was still silent with a blank look. Bagas continued to comfort him so as not to dissolve in sadness. Rara helps Sari clean herself from Mang Aa's blood.

Everything dissolves in deep sorrow. Mang Aa is a humble helper and healer in the eyes of everyone. His sudden passing brought sorrow to those who knew him.
