BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 31: STRANDED

    The mighty hands that had lifted the ship carried by Podin, gave rise to a great wave that swept the ship, and the mysterious hands swayed the ship. The hands attached to the shoulder of the ship did not drag into the water, it did not swallow the ship into the water, it did not bring the ship into the ocean. But the mysterious hands seemed to flutter the ship, raise it, then slam it down, then raise it back up and slam the ship again. But the ship was not destroyed, the ship was still intact, and even the two people who were hitching a ride on the ship did not fall. The two passengers did not fall and went into the sea.

    Then, suddenly the mysterious hands followed by the high wave then threw the ship to and fro, so that the two people felt dizzy, the two people felt frightened. And finally, when the sun will sink in the western part of the earth, and when the sun will hide behind nature, which will soon turn dark, Podin and the person who drives the ship, will be, they were thrown far high, and were blown away by an enormous wave. The ship was as if thrown from the middle of the sea and flew to float until it fell right in the middle of the Island of Berhala.

    "Bruokgh....!!! "

    The ship fell on top of a pile of corpses that were just headsless human bodies.

    Podin who was still able to hold on to the ship, he was able to not be separated from the body of the ship. So Podin can still control himself, and still remain in the ship, even though his body was hit by the shipyard.

    But the shipbuilder, unprepared for this disaster, did not hold on, because he had to control the motor on his ship. And when he fell, he was thrown out of his ship. But the body of the shipbuilder fell right in front of the pile of corpses of men without heads. And of course his body has hit the wall made of heaps growing-body without a head that lapsed. The boatman was immediately shocked, immediately frightened, immediately trembling, because he saw the number of human bodies without any head, which of course had become a corpse. And finally, he fainted.

    Meanwhile, for Podin who already had the mind to enter the Island of Idols, Podin who already had a greedy mind, Podin, he actually felt happy when he saw the ship fall in front of the door of the palace of Pulau Berhala. Yes, the palace doors he had seen, which were made of piles of human bodies without any heads, bodies stacked on the right and on the left, he said, it was like an entrance into the palace. Of course Podin was happy, because the ship that fell was close to the gate of the palace of Pulau Berhala, which later he would have been easy to enter the chests containing the treasure, which would have been easy, and put it on that ship. Yes, this is a coincidence, or maybe this is what is done by the hands that throw the ship, making it easier for Podin later to transport as much treasure as possible.

    Podin was lucky. The huge ship thrown by those mysterious hands was already right in front of the palace door. Of course, Podin was happy, because he had the opportunity to take as much wealth as he could put in the big ship. He did not have to drag too far anymore, the crates were certainly very heavy to carry. So now, when he later took out of the altar of the palace, it would quickly and easily go directly into the ship.

    "Where was the boatman ...? Walah ..., fainting ..." muttered Podin as he searched for the boatman who delivered him. And of course Podin smiled cynically when he saw the shipbuilder fainted under a pile of corpses that were lying headless.

    Podin immediately stepped into the palace, regardless of the shipbuilder who was still lying unconscious. Of course Podin wants to immediately take all the wealth in the palace. But suddenly, when Podin would step into the door of the palace, there was a snake head that stuck out and hung right in the hole that would pass by Podin.

    Podin. Podin. Podin fear. A giant snake was blocking the door. The podin immediately jumped and jumped back. Surely Podin was very frightened, because the giant snake had stuck out his tongue and opened his mouth, so that it looks big fangs long and pointed, ready to pounce on the person in front of him.

    Yeah, well, eventually Podin's gonna have to step back. But because Podin could not look back, he lapsed to fall. And the snake's head was already down near the body of Podin. Podin's hand tried to creep backwards, to avoid the snout of the giant snake that was getting closer to his body. Podin continued to crawl backwards, as much as possible trying to get back, away from the snake. Podin was terrified because the snake's head, the snake's gaping mouth, the snake's grinning teeth were getting closer to him. The snake was already hissing and ready to prey on the body of Podin.

     However, when he felt he could get up, the frightened Podin immediately stood up and of course fled avoiding the snake bite that had approached his body.

    But apparently, Podin was not aware, that the giant snake was the same size as the trunk of the coconut tree, its long body, which was coiled in the middle of the Island of Idols. So when Podin tried to escape, suddenly the tail of the snake behind the body of Podin directly hit his body. Podin fell back. Podin could not do anything when he was hit by the giant snake's tail. Podin could only resign, if only himself, if he were to be eaten by the giant snake. Podin is helpless. Podin was unable to move. Podin could only say asking for mercy.

    "Pun ..., pardon ..., pardon ..." so the words of Podin asked for forgiveness, as both his hands worshiped the snake that was in front of him and were ready to eat it.

    " Hi ..., greedy man ...!! How dare you enter this Island of Idols without the permission of the island guards .... You do not heed the rules that exist on this island. You have violated the order of this island. How dare you disturb the tranquility and tranquility of this island. Hey greedy man ...!! What do you want exactly??!!" so suddenly there was a thunderous sound from the mouth of the snake that was in front of him.

    Podin who had resigned his fear because he felt he would be pounced by the snake, suddenly he also returned to have hope. He could immediately think back to cribbing to that ulare. Podin was convinced that the snake was the one guarding this Island of Idols. Podin was also convinced that the snake would help him, even giving him the treasure he asked for.

    "I'm sorry, giant snake ..." said Podin stammered in fear.

    "Call me the Waiter ...!!" the serpent said that he was the Waiter.

    "Yes, The Waiter .... Forgive me .... I came here to beg for mercy .... I need the treasures that are in that palace .... I want to get the treasure from the palace of this Island of Idols" said Podin who was still shrouded in fear, because the snake's mouth was still sticking out his tongue to prey on him.

    "Huahaha ....!!! It is not that easy to get the wealth from the land of this Pulau Berhala. You must make offerings to obtain the wealth. You must give offerings to take wealth here. In order to obtain the treasure, there must be a substitute for its offering. You must offer the sacrifice that will be asked by the waiters of this Island of Idols ..... Huahahaha .....!!!" so said the snake whose voice echoed deafening Podin.

    Hearing the words of the giant snake, of course, Podin actually wanted to know, what exactly is desired by the keeper of this idol island? Even he wanted to know and wanted to see who exactly became the ruler of this Island of Idols? Yes, Podin was curious and wanted to meet and ask for all the wealth on the island to the Ruler of Pulau Berhala.

    "Your offering ...? How do we get that treasure?" podin asked the Serpent of the Guard who had confronted him. And of course his two-pronged tongue stuck out as if to lick the body of Podin. And when his gaping mouth stuck out his tongue, saliva dripped from his mouth. So disgusting.

    "Haha ....! Hand over your children's head offerings to the ruler of Pulau Berhala, so that you can ask for what you want. And you can also bring what you want from this Pulau Berhala. Yes .... You can do this on a full moon night. When the night of the full moon comes, when the moonlight is full, just above this Island of Idols, come here, and you must offer the heads of your dear children. The children you love you must dedicate to the ruler of this Island of Idols .... Huahahaha ....!!!" as soon as the voice heard by Podin, as he was ordered by the giant snake.

    As soon as he listened to what the Guardian's serpent had asked him to do, Podin began to think of offering the heads of his little ones, his beloved children. But certainly. Podin also wanted to keep getting the treasure. Podin wanted to keep bringing home the treasure chests in the palace.

    But when he heard the conditions that he had to fulfill, which was to present the heads of his children he loved, of course it would be heavy. It will be a burden to him. Surely Podin would think of sacrificing his own children. And so in his doubt, Podin began to retreat again from the face of the giant serpent. He put his feet back. Podin began to hesitate to choose what to do. Between taking the wealth and sacrificing the heads of his children to be offered to the idols on the island, or going home empty without bringing anything.

    Podin realized that he was actually conspiring with idols. Podin had actually asked for the wealth given by the idols. And of course Podin has sacrificed one of his favorite children, namely Eko, his biggest son. Without realizing it, the head of his son was transported by the devil guarding the Island of Berhala. Yes, Eko who was crushed by a truck, his head missing was not found. Even Podin also realized that the body of his son who was lost from the chest, lost from the grave, must also be transported by the cavities of the ruler of the Island of Idols.

    Podin began to think again, will he be ready to take the treasure that is in the palace of the Island of Idols by sacrificing his children? Or did he have to run as fast as possible, to avoid the giant snake's collision, and leave the island to save himself?

    And at that moment, Podin remembered that he had once brought two treasure chests out of the palace. The crates that had been dragged and will be taken out of the island, but because the boatman at that time said that the boat could not carry the treasure that was too heavy, so the chest that had been dragged by Podin was left on the beach. Yes, Podin remembered, that the crates had been brought to the beach. Then he stood up too. Podin wanted to try to find the crates he had brought out, and he had brought them to the beach.

    Without thinking about the giant snake again, without seeing the giant snake again, Podin immediately ran back to leave the snake, running away to the beach, and then to the other side, where he was once escorted and picked up by a boatman who became a man of the guard of Pulau Berhala. Podin immediately intended to go to that place.

    But suddenly the tail of the snake again snatched the body of Podin. Even this time the snake's tail was firmer and louder. As a result, Podin crashed and fell on a pile of corpses without a head. But the name of the intention was very strong, Podin did not care anymore where he was, he still tried to run away from the snake. He did not fight against the tail of the snake that had hit his body, but he got up again and ran away from the giant snake.

    However, again, the tail of the giant snake again hit the body of Podin. He fell back. And this time, he hit the wall from a pile of headless corpses. Podin fell on a pile of humans who were made into the palace fence. A palace fence made of piles of headless human corpses. Like the undead, the hands of the headless corpse moved immediately to catch the body of Podin who fell on him. Of course, when Podin fell on the pile of headless bodies, the zombies that were used as fences, the bodies must have cried out in pain. So the hands on the body were trying to hit, trying to slap, trying to push Podin's body that hit him.

    Feeling himself to be grabbed by the hands that were flying without being able to see it, Podin rushed to move his body, avoiding the hands that would catch him. With fear, Podin tried to get out of the pile of corpses without a head. Then Podin tried to get out back, and ran towards the road that would deliver him to the beach from the Island of Idols.

    However, again, when the body of Podin was able to rise, when Podin was trying to run, suddenly the snake again swept his tail and again hit the body of Podin. As a result, this time Podin was thrown away and fell in the middle of the road, where he was going to walk it. But strangely, the road that usually passed by Podin was very smooth, it turned out that this time the road was bumpy. Yeah, like a street with macadam stones. Like a road full of stones. But when Podin tried to rise from the fall, his eyes widened, Podin was shocked, it turned out that the road was filled not by rocks that were as big as a grain of coconut fruit, but it turns out that those who are laid out in the streets are human heads. Yes, the streets are full of disembodied human heads. Neatly arranged pieces of heads, pieces of human heads laid out to form a road.

    Of course, Podin was very shocked and frightened. Even Podin tried to evade. He even tried to get off the road. Yes, the heads revealed their faces with wide eyes, with the face of the creepy, even his mouth grimaced with his teeth. And of course, the heads that fell the body of Podin, who stepped on the foot of Podin, immediately opened his mouth will prey on people who trampled him.

    Podin fear. Podin wanted to run away from the place immediately. But of course, when he stepped, still his feet stepped on the heads arranged in the streets. It was frightening, because all the heads looked fierce, look fierce, look will eat the people who stepped on it. And his sharp teeth, his teeth that look grinning, even his teeth that already look ready to prey on the man who stepped on his head, as if placing Podin in the path of human hell.

    Podin who was already so scared, he immediately set foot and ran as hard as he could. Of course, Podin trampled on the heads that were ready to bite him. Until finally, Podin was able to avoid all the heads he stepped on. Doesn't matter. Let the head hurt. What matters is that he can get out. What matters is that he survived. The important thing is he can run from the threat of human heads without the body.

    Finally, Podin was able to save himself, can avoid the heads that are laid out in the streets. And now, Podin was on the beach that he used to come and go, a place that is usually used to close the boat by the boatman who became the guard of the Island of Idol. And suddenly, when Podin reached the beach, it turned out that there was a boatman who was on his small boat, which was usually boarded by Podin.

    "You're coming home, sir ...?" so asked the boatman, who was again observed by Podin, indeed the boatman was a headless man. Yes, in the upper neck alone is covered with a very wide petal caping, so it does not appear that it actually does not have a head. Right, the boatman was just a headless human body. But he can be a boatman, of course he is a ponggawa from Pulau Berhala, who was told to take and pick up the guests who would come and enter the Island of Berhala.

    Without a second thought, because of his fear, then Podin went straight to the boat.

    "Yes .... Wait a minute ..." said Podin who would certainly prepare to run away avoiding the rage of those disembodied heads, which he had trampled.

    But for a moment was awaited by the boat puller that will take him, Podin still look to the right and to the left. Podin's still looking over and over. Surely he was looking for a chest that he had dragged, and of course he wanted to bring back one of the crates that he had brought to the beach. However, Podin did not see the crates again. Podin lost everything he had ever dragged. He lost something he had brought to the beach. The two crates he had dragged were no longer there.

    "Have anyone come here and picked up the crates I used to drag to this place?" so muttered Podin who lost his stuff. The crates he was looking for were indeed no longer in that place.

    "Come, Sir .... Hurry .... The day has changed ...!" so said the boatman told Podin to immediately get on his boat.

    But, again, Podin, still looking to the right and to the left, trying to find the chest, still did not find it.

    The boatman was apparently preparing to run his boat. He also pushed the pole in his hand. Then the boat seemed to have walked to the middle of the sea.

    Once he saw the boat was going to walk, then Podin immediately ran and jumped into the boat. Lucky to get into the boat. Luckily, Podin survived. He did not fall into the sea.

    And finally, only two or three times the pole thrust held by the boatman, it turns out that the small boat had arrived at the beach, where usually Podin up and down. From the boat, Podin jumped down. Podin has arrived across the street. Podin had reached the beach, where he always went up and down the boat from there.

    Podin was still standing on the rock on the shore. Podin was still staring at the island. Even he was also disappointed, even he also felt the loss of the things he had brought. Of course it disappointed him a lot.

    On the beach, Podin looked at the small boat that had delivered him, and returned to the island of Berhala. But unnoticed by Podin, the boat was just gone.
