Ballad of Love The Dancer
Chapter 56

Mbak Diah and Mas Hendra who were relaxing on the porch of the house were surprised to see the arrival of Sari who looked pale, especially Sari was reluctant to speak. He chose to go into the room immediately. Mas Hendra who was curious asked about Sari to Bagas.

"What's up, how come she's home?" Ask Mas Hendra

"Sari's disease usually relapses." Answer Bagas

"Heem, you're shocked by me, let him in again?" Ask Hendra again

"I also don't understand being possessed, not fainting, not really,"

"Well, how does the story not understand me?" Mas Hendra asked for an explanation

Bagas then told me what happened. Starting from Gong who suddenly rang himself and made a scene all that was there, then Sari who suddenly stood up to the dancers in a state of loss of consciousness.

Sari walked with a blank look and suddenly fell down in the middle of the sintren dancers. Sari's eyes were closed but her mouth called out to all her teammates. Like someone who is asleep and delirious.

Mas Hendra listened carefully and nodded his head in understanding.

"Let him rest first, maybe he's tired tomorrow morning we ask him." Mas Hendra's 

Bagas nodded his head and bid farewell to return to Mr. Koswara's house. There Doni and the others are still talking about Sari and also the gong that reads itself.

The atmosphere was a bit quieter after Mr. Koswara and elder Seca Branti performed a special ritual. This is not the first time the gong has sounded on its own, on certain nights the sound of the gong is heard from inside the storage room. It's just that this time together Sari experienced a trance condition.

"Bak Sari how is Bagas?" Ask Mr. Koswara when he sees Bagas coming and sitting next to him.

"Still in shock like sir, he just went to bed not talking much earlier." Answer Bagas lirih 

Bagas did not want to disturb the elder Seca Branti who was performing the ritual.

"What are they doing, sir?" Ask Bagas

"Ritual mas, just now it seems like someone who wants to say hello may be disturbed by something." Answer Mr. Koswara.

"Often sir this incident, I mean the gong itself?" Ask Bagas again

"Eeh, is Sari sir?" Bagas was astonished by the statement of Mr. Koswara.

"I want it to be a bit personal to Bagas mas, then Sari was ready mas Bagas ya temen, best friend, girlfriend, or future wife?"

Bagas laughed at Mr. Koswara's question he then replied,

"Everyone sir, complete package!" Answer the Bagas perus

Mr. Koswara let out a small laugh at Bagas' reply,

"Why do you want to know my relationship with Sari?" Ask Bagas

"I just want to know that Mbak Sari .. duh how to explain it, ehm does he have supernatural powers?" Ask Mr. Koswara

" … " Bagas could only open his mouth wide, confused.

"I am sure that Mbak Sari has linuwih, considering the events of yesterday and the ones that just happened. Mas Bagas knew where he got his original descent from or studied?" Ask Mr. Koswara 

"Eeh, I don't understand that, sir. It's Sari's own personal business, she has privacy that I have to take care of as well sir so sorry I can't answer about it!" Answer Bagas firmly

Bagas felt less like the attitude of Mr. Koswara, he had to give a firm answer because this was about the privacy of the team members he had to guard. Fortunately, Mr. Koswara was able to accept and understand that. He did not ask back Sari's problem and switched to discussing the others.

"Our day there is also a show in the village next door, would you like to come too?" Ask Mr. Koswara.

"There's more, sir, I can complete the first coverage yesterday sir!" Answer Bagas

"Good, at least the money spent by Sari for us is useful, right?" 

Mr. Koswara rolled his eyes at Bagas, and Bagas could only smile wryly.

Useful anyway, but yo melas Sari mbok peres pak .

Post-show coverage process completed. That night they went straight back to Abah Hadi's house. The plan to stay at Abah Hadi's house was extended because the day after tomorrow they will be preparing to cover the second sintren event as a complement to coverage.
