73. Messing Up Cooking Events

The rose frowned, "why is it like that, Mas? What does Mada mean, not buried like a dead person in general? If so, where was he buried?" ask the surprised rose.

"I don't know myself, Mother. He just told me like that" Bambang replied.

They fell silent again struggling with their own thoughts.

"Could it be, Mada was jealous of me? All this time maybe he's been watching over my family. He envies me because my every wish is always achieved. While the business ... But he's already dead. Why should you have that nature?" the rose in his heart.

"Mas Bambang, later Anterin Bi Minah home first yes, this abis, we return home, Mbak Wulan," said Mawar to Bambang.

"Yes, Ma'am,"

"I just wait here, abis nganter straight here yeah,"

Bambang then drove Bi Minah to go home first. Arriving at home, Bi Minah and Bambang were shocked because all the neighbors who were cooking came out of the house and there was a commotion.

Bi Minah who just got off the bike felt confused.

"Daddy, what's up? Koq on disperse! Is it finished cooking?" ask Bi Minah in front of the open fence.

"Bi, Miss Saras is like a possessed person, she's angry. We were all driven away" Wati said in fear.

"Indeed, you're the same mom who's home? The car doesn't exist!" exclaim Bambang.

All the neighbors who had gone out of the house were astonished, absolutely right. Pak Ruman's own car does not exist, how did Bu Saras get home?

Suddenly everyone was shocked and shaken.

"Yes, the car doesn't exist. Who's on the floor?" ask Neni.

From inside the house, they heard the sound of women giggling.

"Hihihihihihihi, hihihi, I'm back, I'm back to take my food that you've snatched from me! Hihihihi!" nek Jamilah's voice shrieked from inside Ruman's house.

"Yes, whose voice is it, Ma'am?" ask Neni again to Wati.

Neighbors get closer to each other out of fear.

"That must be Mbah the shaman, Nek Jamilah," said Bi Minah.

"Times, Bi?" ask Wati in shock.

"Mas Bambang, Mas Bambang entered the check to the dalem," said Bi Minah.

"I don't dare, Bi. I have faced that grandmother. I can't do it alone, not my opponent. He is a demit" said Bambang.

"How did dong go? Let's just wait here?" ask Wati.

"I'm so afraid to be left at home, Mr. Ruman again. I went home yes. Come on mothers," said one of the residents.

"Come, come. I was scared too" said the others.

"Duh, don't dong, mothers. The cooking isn't done yet, make it a late night. Don't go home yet. We're going in again. It is safe now, there is no demand" Bi Minah said, pleading with neighbors.

"But what if it comes again, Bi. It was the seasoning that we prepared, spilled with Ms. Saras, uh demit it. Keep his stuff on the floor. Fortunately, cooked food is not thrown away. We managed to prevent it" said one resident.

"Insya Alloh, now it's gone. We go in again, Mom," asked Bi Minah.

"No, they don't know when they're home. I arranged the cooking here. Come on Ma'am, let's go in" Bi Minah told all her neighbors.

When it is nearing the wedding day, it must be held a diving event to welcome the date.

All the citizens finally went inside and cooked back without any interruption. They also tidy up messy things. It turned out that it was, Ms. Saras they saw, not the real Ms. Saras.

Everyone was talking about what they had just experienced. Meanwhile, Wati and Bi Minah were no longer shocked. They just stay quiet and focus on their work.

After Ashar, all the preparations for the dive are over. Before long, Mr. Ruman and his wife had also reached home.

They thanked the neighbors who had tried hard to help.

"Thank you all. Oh yeah, come back later. Eat here too, not at home" Ms Saras told her neighbors.

"Yes, ma'am, thank you. We have eaten all that before" said Wati representing his friends.

"Later here again, yeah," said Ms Saras again.

All the neighbors finally came home from Mr. Ruman's house. They are still prickly shoes that sometimes still sound clearly in the ears of Ms. Saras. Ms. Saras who felt a little surprised then asked Bi Minah something.

"Bi, when my husband and I left, did something happen? Koq I heard noisily he said," said Bu Saras.

Bi Minah flirted around like she was making sure of the situation. He then approached Ms. Saras and whispered.

"Mom, Grandma Jamilah just showed up, posing as a mother,"

"What!" exclaimed Bu Saras while glaring.

"Yes ma'am, it destroyed the goods. All the neighbors almost went home with the incident,"

"Yes, why it's been a while, have to show up again, I'm so scared, Bi!" said Ms. Saras feeling sad.

Ms. Saras sat on the kitchen bench. Bi Minah stroked Bu Saras' shoulder.

"Mom, Grandma Jamilah said, he'll come back to get the food we've taken. Could it be, Grandma Jamilah still wants that half ari-ari, Mom?" said Bi Minah.

"I'm in shock if I have to remember what happened first, Bi. Mada died, his ari-ari is half gone" said Bu Saras while holding Isak in tears.

Bi Minah then sat down in front of Bu Saras and said while whispering.

"Mom, I, Mas Bambang, and Mbak Rawar, finished the story about Nek Jamilah, and also Mada. We each experienced something different, ma'am. We were all also terrorized by Nek Jamilah. Mother and Father, it is better to be honest with the Rose later. Tell him everything. We also need deliberation, ma'am. Before her wedding, Mbak Roses took place. Because, Grandpa Jamilah threatened the Rose Mother,"

"Oh my goodness, Bi. Threatening like what?" asked Saras who was surprised to hear the words of Bi Minah.

"Later we'll talk, Mom. It's already afternoon. If we want to talk about this, it's better not to be at home. Ma'am Mawar said, at home it's not safe. Because, a lot of terror mak Jamilah who likes to resemble us. You know about this?"

"Yes, Bi. One more week, the Rose wedding will take place. We have to sort this out before the show. I will try to talk about this matter to my husband," said Ms Saras full of confidence.

Roses and Bambang have arrived at Wulan's house. Roses have also told of the incident where he was once met by Jamilah's nek who resembled himself, then turned into Jamilah's nek, and then transformed into Ndoro Kusuma.

Nek Jamilah wanted to exchange the soul of the Rose with Mada, because only Mada was able to take the ari for him. Because, Mada buried with the ari-ari. The Ari-ari would not have turned into land if Mada was still wandering.

Mada is deliberately controlled by Nek Jamilah so that the ari-ari does not turn into land.

Nek Jamilah is not dead. He can disappear and come to resemble, or possess anyone he wants because he drops Ndoro Kusuma. To kill him, the remaining ari-ari had to be the land, and the land that came from the ari-ari was splashed into Nek Jamilah's face. Then it will burn and become ashes. But, to do that, only Mada herself could. His restrained soul must be released first.
