BERHALA ISLAND

BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 136: THE SPIRIT OF THE CHILD


    After Podin got the package box placed on his doorstep, although always removed but still moved and was back at his doorstep, no matter who sent to his villa, which turned out to be a treasure chest, Podin also guessed with certainty, if the package delivery was for him. Podin began to recall events about the treasure chests. Podin began to realize, surely this is not a human who sent, not a parcel of freight services, but surely this who sent was a messenger from the ruler of the Island of Idols. Of course the purpose is reminiscent of Podin, when he had brought the crates, he had transported the treasures placed in the crates from the Island of Idol. And certainly, as the little girl said when she called out from her coffin, with a thunderous and big voice like the voice of the ruler of Pulau Berhala, that said, Podin was told to return to the palace of Pulau Berhala on the night of the full moon. Yes, of course, Podin is obliged to give offerings to the ruler of Pulau Berhala.


    Podin began to think that the crates he had brought from the Island of Idols, came to see him again. And the chests that came to him, of course, the coffins of the sacrificial offerings that he had made to find wealth on the island of Berhala. Aewahs from the sacrificial victims will come again, and of course they will hold Podin accountable, as the person who had presented himself in the palace of Pulau Berhala.


    And indeed, for a very long time, for months, it has been passed many times the appearance of the full moon, Podin never came to the island again. And, especially after Podin was taught by Bang Kohar to get wealth by maintaining tuyul, waking up the small creature in the chest to become tuyul who can collect as much money as possible, he said, who could fill the coffins with sheets of money, Podin no longer wanted to come to the Island of Idols, no longer wanted to visit the island of worship. Podin no longer wanted to find sacrifices to be offered to the ruler of the palace of Pulau Berhala. And of course, Podin did not want to lose. Podin didn't bother. Podin did not want to bother going to the Island of Berhala, let alone have to find a sacrifice that will be presented at the altar of the palace. It must not be easy. Finding a sacrifice is very risky. And in fact, Podin had also been humiliated at the altar of the palace of Pulau Pohala, when he mistakenly brought a little beggar boy who turned out to be no longer holy.


    Now, in the villa Podin has piled up there are five crates. And of course, the crate that had just come, Podin was still wondering, who was the creature in the crate? Who is that brat who inhabits the single crate that the special packer just sent?


    Of course, Podin was curious about the chest, he wanted to know, he wanted to see the living creatures, the creatures that inhabit in the box. Because as Podin remembers, he had just sacrificed two offerings on the stone range, namely the little girl who was kidnapped from the crossroads, and her own baby who had just been born by Maya, who was born, the one he slaughtered with the famous idol-eye dagger was fierce to slash the victim's neck. Of course, Podin was also curious, wanting to know who exactly the creature in the newly sent crate. It is possible that the creature in the chest can also be asked for the task of taking the money, then filling the coffin with sheets of money. So, Podin who wanted to know that, he also wanted to perform the ritual back to see the creature in the chest.


    The sun began to sink in the western sky. Outside the villa of Podin, began to sound the sound of animals that welcomed the night, began to sound a concert of animals borer. Moreover, the villa occupied by Podin was in the middle of a large plant, a tall-waiting tree and dense. There are many borer animals, each welcoming the arrival of the night makes a very crowded sound. Likewise the cuckoo of an owl, which is melodious is heard in the ears. Likewise with the wind whirring that blows the tops of trees, producing a beautiful sound as a symphony of nature, welcoming the coming of night.


    Podin who was certainly curious about the crate that had just come, he wanted to immediately see the new creature of his tribe, the occupants in the chest. So Podin began to take care of the crate that had just come, which was sent by supernatural beings that he did not know. However, Podin was convinced that the chest must have been sent by the messenger of the ruler of Pulau Pohala who was deliberately given to Podin. And of course, if the box he must have brought, he once kept it in his house. Even Podin also thought that the chest was the first treasure chest he brought, when he obtained abundant wealth. So that the wealth can defeat his poverty, can change his life, from a life that is despicable without having anything, he said, and eventually Podin and his family became wealthy people who could buy a house in luxury housing at a price of billions. Even then, Podin immediately turned into a wealthy man who was incomparable in his own village. So that he along with his wife and children moved to live in a gubug house into a luxurious house.


    Yes, it happened the first time that Podin got the wealth of the Island of Idols, where at that time he was shown the way by a grandfather who had given money from gold coins. Yes, at that time Podin was really suddenly a new rich man, which of course turned into a person who lived with a jungle of property.


    Of course, at that time, Podin also still felt less. The move from poor to rich life actually makes Podin want to increase his wealth again. At that time, Podin still continued to hope to get wealth. Podin still asked for more wealth. So even though he had turned rich, Podin was not grateful, Podin was not grateful. Although his life has been struggling with property, but Podin still feels less. And finally, at that time Podin who already had a luxurious house, already had a motorcycle, he went back to the Island of Berhala, and of course he again took the wealth that is on the Island of Berhala.


    So that night, Podin who had begun to take care of the crate that had just been sent to him, he had started stroking the chest using a shroud that had been limited to perfume, he had begun to stroke it, nyong-nyong oil that smells very thick piercing the nose. Podin cleaned the entire surface of the crate. Not only on the front, not only on the surface, but also on the inside of the chest. Yes, of course, Podin was also curious about the chest. Surely he also wanted to see the creature that inhabited the coffin, the creature in the coffin. And of course, later that night, Podin wanted to ask the creatures who lived in the coffin to go looking for money, collect as much wealth as possible, and fill the chest, he said, filled it with innumerable amounts of money. Yes, the creature that inhabits the chest is asked to be willing to find money for him, want to find wealth for him. And of course, Podin also hopes that the creature in the chest will submit and obey all his commands and requests.


    As always, as before, as has been often done by Podin, so that night he began to perform a ritual to summon the spirit who inhabited the coffin he had just received. Podin wanted to know what kind of spirit was in the chest. Podin began to open the leaf package that contains various forms of flowers that contain offerings. The podin also begins to burn incense. He hoped that the fragrant smell of incense smoke that he burned was immediately kissed by creatures in other realms, immediately giving rise to the creatures in the chest. Yes, Podin's mouth started to recite mantras. Podin had already summoned the creature that was inside the chest. And right, not long after that the lid of the crate suddenly began to open. And when the lid of the coffin was fully opened, out came the creature that inhabited the sacred coffin.


    However, how shocked Podin, as he watched the creature that came out of the chest. It is not a small baby, not a little girl, but the one that comes out is her own child. Yes, Eko, the eldest son of Podin who had once been hit by a truck in front of his school when the boy was about to get into the school. The boy who used to be a concussion, because when the boy was hit by a truck, Eko's head was missing. And it became even more stirring, more frightening for the people around his school, because Eko's headless spirit, wandering every night in front of the school, was, what he says is the headless ghost of Eko who searches for his lost head crushed by a truck.


    Podin knew exactly what happened. Podin knew exactly that the spirit that came out of the coffin came to him was his first son, his greatest son, his most beloved son, the most coveted child. Podin still remembers well, when he came home from the Island of Idols and brought a treasure chest that was shaken on his motorbike, when he arrived at his home, Podin received news that his first child, the first child, was,  if the child he loved was hit by a truck in front of his school and his head was gone. Yes, that is Eko, the son of Podin whom he loved the most, and now has transformed into a spirit, and comes to his father.


    "Rpa .... Help me, sir .." said the spirit who had just come out of the box, who certainly called and asked his father for help.


    Podin who witnessed the spirit of his son, could not bear to stem the turmoil of his heart that rebelled because of pity. Of course, Podin regretted, feeling sorry for his favorite child.


    Without realizing it, Podin had fainted and was lying in the middle of his villa.
