BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 172: WORRIED

    Podin accepted the reality of his life that was not in accordance with the teachings of the religion he had just embraced. But that is what he always heard from the general public, that people who violate religious values will accept sin. And the most frightening thing is that later in the last day, he will go into the fire of hell, get a very heavy punishment.

    Podin finally obeyed the words of his wife, so that he could accept the words of the Pastor, to be a good son of God, to be a child of God who obeyed his words. Of course, Podin who is currently experiencing fear with the shadow of the creepy black giant creature, he can not avoid reality, either, that he had indeed made offerings to the ruler of Pulau Berhala, to ask for benefits. Yes, of course, Podin had sacrificed children slaughtered on a stone range, even his newborn baby, as a sacrifice to the ruler of the Island of Idol, which he exchanged for a fortune of wealth, the ones inside the coffins contained treasures. In that way, Podin could become wealthy.

    But now, after Podin was dragged by the executioners to the stone range, he accepted the demands of the ruler of the island of Berhala, so that he again handed over the offerings, on the night of the full moon, as he had done before, of course it was also felt very heavy by Podin. Finding a child to sacrifice is not easy. If Sakah is also scolded and thrown out of the palace by the executioners. And yeng is more terrible, if until he has to kidnap the child back, if it gets caught, it will definitely be beaten by the time and arrested by the Police. Eventually, he will be thrown in jail. And that was a trauma for Podin.

    "Mah .., apparently I had to throw these crates away. I have to get those crates out of our house. I feel more scared. I'm getting uncomfortable. Because frankly, Mah .., in those chests are spirits chasing me. I was afraid that the spirit would prey on me." said Podin to his wife, who would reveal what was really in the chest.

    "Arm ...?!" ask wife.

    "Yes, Mah .." replied Podin with a sad face.

    "So all this time .., Papah had such chests, there was his spirit .... The spirit waiting for the coffin ...?!" ms. Melan asked her husband, who was certainly shocked to hear her husband's words.

    "Remain ..., Mah .... Indeed, all this time I used the antiques, the sacred coffins to ask for help to the spirits who inhabit the coffin, to launch our sustenance ...." podin replied trying to be frank with his wife.

    "Jeez ..., Pah .... Why does Papah believe in such demons ...?! So all this time Papah has been allied with the devil ...?! Pahs .... Indeed, the teachings of the devil always tempt people .... It makes good promises .... Make pleasant promises .... Including giving promises of wealth why Papah .... Don't believe in the seduction of the devil, Pah ..... That will be the result, if we believe in those idols, we become followers of the devil, surely we will go to hell, Pah .." said Ms. Melan advised her husband.

    "Yes .., Mah .... I used to not know what Satan was .... All I know is that life needs money .." said Podin to his wife, who of course he said that because at that time Podin never prayed, he said that, Podin never did any religious activities, even as if he really did not know what God is, what Satan is. All he knew was that he needed money. Because at that time, his life was very poor. His life suffered greatly, With such circumstances, Podin was really very eager to have a lot of money, Podin wanted to have wealth, so that he was not insulted by his neighbors, so that he is not mocked by the people in his village, he wants to change the fate of his life, wants to be rich, become a person who has a lot of money, Podin does not want to always be insulted by his neighbors.

    "Certain ..., meaning all this time Papah is looking for money in a way that is not right ...?! Papah sought money by asking for help from the idols ...?!" ask Ms. Melan to her husband, who of course she also wants to know how exactly she does when looking for money. Ms. Melan wants what her husband does when it comes to making money.

    "Remain ..., Mah ..." answered Podin plainly.

    "So all this time Papah's efforts were assisted by the spirits in this coffin ...?! Papah's work is assisted by the creatures that inhabit this coffin ...?! So all this Papah does is just to make money ...?!" ask Ms. Melan who is getting curious.

    "Yes, Mah .... Because Mamah needs to know, that Papah used to live in poverty .... Papah used to be ridiculed by the villagers .... I suffer inner birth because of that insult .... I really have no money, nothing .... I live in poverty. I live in the abject affliction of every man ..." Podin explained to his wife.

    "Rubber, Mah .... At that time I met an old beggar, who only put on tattered clothes .... I complained because I was poor, but by the beggar I was given coins. The beggar said, if less is asked to find him, more will be given. Upon reaching the house, I observed the money, it turned out to be gold coins .... Means that beggar is not a random person. So I continued to obey his words, I looked for the beggar according to the direction of the road indicated .... And as it turns out, I did get those treasure chests .... And that is my wealth .... Everything I have used to open our business is ..." said Podin to his wife, of course with a bit of worry, fearing the secret was revealed.

    Ms. Melan was silent. His eyes looked far away. He imagined how the life of Podin at that time, and how he could find such a treasure. But of course there are still confused by Ms Melan, why is her husband scared now? So, if the beggar is kind, why is her husband being chased? Even her husband was dragged and placed in the top of a tree.

    "Mahs .... Then, the coffins of Papah we must immediately remove from our homes .... I was worried, who had the chest, whether it was a beggar's grandfather or an idol, or a spirit ..., which obviously they were demons .., later would definitely look for Papah back. And surely, as long as these crates are here, they will keep coming here. Because I am sure, the spirit or the idol, must inhabit the coffins. Then we have to dispose of the crate immediately" Ms. Melan told Podin, who would like to immediately dispose of the idol.

    "But, Mah ...." Podin.

    "No buts, Pah .... I was worried that the idol was coming again, not only dragging Papah, but immediately leading to escape to hell.." said Ms. Melan who firmly reminded her husband.

    "I'm afraid of it, Mah .." said Podin.

    "After that Papah resigned to God .... We are children of Christ .... Surely God will help and save us" said Ms. Melan who further affirms and wants to strengthen her husband's faith.

    This time, Podin was silent. He looked confused. Between wanting to throw away the crates, as his wife said. But it is also a pity with the crates, because of course the items that can very easily bring money with no difficulty. It becomes worried. If you throw away the treasure chests, then Podin certainly can not get the treasure again easily.

    But of course, if Podin did not throw away the treasure chests, many mistakes he made. Podin violated the teachings of religion, he sought riches in an unrighteous way, and certainly later on the day of the apocalypse, he would not be helped by God, and would enter into the torment of the fires of hell.

    In addition, if Podin still wants to seek wealth in such a way, then he must return to find the boys to be sacrificed into offerings for the ruler of the Island of Idol. This alone is very heavy. Though every night the full moon Podin must look for victims.

    But if he runs away from the demon lord of Pulau Berhala, will God help him? Is Christ really going to save her? Is it true that the prayers of the Pastor and the congregation in his church can help him?

    Between doubt and doubt. But Podin had to pick right away.
