BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 36: THE VAIN ARRIVAL

 After failing to find his children, finally Podin who had jumped into the boat to walk, Podin went into the idol island alone. Without bringing their children. Of course there is a sense of disappointment in the morning Podin, because he will not be able to present his children to the ruler of the island of Berhala. Yes, the offering finally failed, could not be implemented by Podin. Though that night was the long-awaited night, which was the night of the full moon, where later when the full moon was right in the middle, just above the Island of Idols, Podin should have handed over offerings. Podin failed to meet the conditions demanded by the ruler of the Island of Idols.

    But because he had entered the island, then he continued to move his feet after getting off the boat. Podin walked straight to the road he used to walk. Such smooth and smooth paths. But something looks different when Podin crosses the spot during the full moon. Yes, the path he crossed first, of course very different from today. If so, then Podin passed by and saw the heads that were crisscrossing the road, but that night, when the full moon rose from the eastern sky, by the time the moon was emitting packaging rays from the eastern sky, everything changed, everything was different, everything else than the days before. Yes, the Island of Idols has been transformed into a place full of beauty. The island of Berhala seems to have been transformed into a place full of luxury. Pulau Berhala seems to have turned into the most fun entertainment place, even in Jakarta there is no beautiful place like this.

    Podin who witnessed the state of the Island of Idols felt that the island had really changed, really different. The place was very neat and filled with sparkling lights that shone brightly, with very beautiful and charming ornaments. Apparently, the night of the full moon really turned Pulau Berhala into a tourist spot with the most fun entertainment. A tourist spot full of lights. A tourist spot full of beautiful and charming decorations. And of course, the tourists who come to that place will certainly be happy to see all that.

    Podin wondered why the place that had once frightened him, the place he had once seen there were piles of corpses lying headless, was not there, the place that used to be the road is filled with human heads that roll here. But this time, the place seemed to be truly transformed into the most interesting tourist attraction in the world.

    Podin began to hesitate to move his feet towards the middle of the Island of Berhala. Yes, the island that was the first time when he came, he witnessed a palace that was very brightly lit this magnificent palace, this very magnificent palace, that night the beautiful palace reappeared and was again seen by the eyes of Podin. Of course, Podin doesn't believe that. But in reality, as at the first time he came, he witnessed a more beautiful and more magnificent palace.

    Even Podin, on that full moon night, not only did he see a more beautiful and more magnificent palace, but the palace looked bigger. The palace on Pulau Berhala looks very extraordinary. Not only the magnificent building, but also the ornaments are very beautiful and interesting. Even in the courtyard of the palace there are bright lamps. So that the magnificent palace with glittering and very bright lights was already visible from a distance, already seen by the time Podin set foot entering the island. Even when Podin stepped foot across the small road with lights on his right and left.

    Podin who once watched the heads roll here and there, the road is now changed as if made of marble stone is very beautiful. Marble stone that can emit light from within. While on the left right of the road as if standing poles that have decorative lights. And the decorative lights on the side of the road were beautifully lit, as if the garden lights were very sparkling, which was very beautiful and very exciting.

    Podin was without hesitation to continue his journey. He sauntered casually, which of course he already understood that he would arrive in front of the magnificent palace. Not long after, he arrived in front of the palace. The palace was much different to the few times when he came to that place. The atmosphere in front of the palace was changing. The front of the palace was already a large courtyard, a courtyard filled with garden lights, a very smooth and clean courtyard. The palace courtyard was entirely fitted with a floor made of marble stone arranged beautifully. Even in the yard there are already decorative lights that highlight to various directions, beautiful and charming colorful lights.

    There is still one more thing that makes Podin shocked is the sound of music blaring in his ears. Yes, from the palace courtyard it has been heard pauseg-jedug musical rhythms. Of course for Podin's ears, the rhythm of the music was a bit strange. But for Podin whose life in Jakarta, in the world of entertainment, whose life comes from karaoke entertainment, of course he is not surprised by music of any kind, he is not surprised by music of any kind, he could hear any music in his ears. Of course it was delicious, no one felt bothering his ears. Even Podin began prancing, began to sway, began to dance while listening to the buzzing music in the palace courtyard.

    But there is another strange thing that was just discovered by Podin, when he entered the palace courtyard, it was not only Podin himself who came to that place. It turned out that in the palace courtyard there were already many people there. There are a lot of people dancing. There were already people who were drumming to the rhythm of the music played in the palace. Yes, eventually Podin was dragged by one of the people who jogged there who approached his new self.

    "Come .... Come ...! We dance together ..." so said the person who immediately dragged the hand of Podin to be invited to dance together.

    Podin then complied with the invitation of the unknown man. But clearly, Podin had begun to assume that the person was certainly one of the people who would also attend the offering to ask for wealth from the ruler of Pulau Berhala. Then suddenly Podin interrupted asking the man.

    "Mother has come here how many times?" ask Podin who certainly wants to know what has been done by people who invite him to dance by people who have dragged him to kick together.

    "Don't ask that ...!" answer that person, who certainly does not want to know his secret.

    Finally, Podin did not dare to ask questions that were related to the personal secrets of others. Yes, Podin remembered that time there were men who invited him to burn tuba or frankincense, and spread the delivery flowers. The man also told Podin that he should not ask about other people's business. So this time when he was reprimanded by the person who invited him to dance in front of the palace, Podin was immediately silent could not answer, could not say anything more. Podin was already embarrassed for being reprimanded twice by people who both came to the Island of Berhala.

    Indeed, coming to the Island of Idols is a secret that should not be known by others. Likewise, no one else will ask the secret of Podin. It is fitting, although in the palace there are many visitors, but while waiting for a boat that transports, while waiting on the beach, he did not meet anyone. No one is being transported by boat at the same time. And the current Podin could only remain silent. Podin just followed the music, following the invitation of the man to dance. Of course Podin remained while observing the surroundings, while looking around him. And obviously, Podin wanted to know what the people who were in front of the Palace were doing that night.

    Time continued to run, until without feeling midnight began to arrive. The shining moon full of round round faces had shone its rays right above the magnificent palace. The palace that was exposed by the full moonlight was the color changed the more beautiful, the brighter, the more sparkling and the more charming. Pulau Berhala Palace is now completely transformed into the most magnificent palace ever seen by people in the world. The palace seemed to exist in a fantasy world, as if the palace was only a palace in children's fairy tales, the palace was only fictional stories that were not yet known the truth. But that night, the people actually witnessed a very, very extraordinary palace.

    It was not a matter of changing the palace that became the admiration of Podin. But when the moon was just above the palace, suddenly the atmosphere turned silent. The sound of the sound system that blared earlier, immediately stopped. No more music. No more people having fun. There are no more people being bullied.

    Suddenly the door of the palace was wide open. From within the palace emanated a very bright light, a glittering light, a light that dazzled the eyes. Yes, the palace room became very bright.

    The people who were in the courtyard started to enter the palace. But quietly, without a sound. People entered that vast palace space. A few moments later there were four people ponggawa kingdom by wearing typical clothing customary, like a court official. The four ponggawa took out a large stone and placed it on the altar of the palace. The large stone that was carried to the center of the palace altar, the top was very flat and smooth, while the edges were a kind of barrier that was rather prominent. While at the end of the large range stone, which resembles a table, there are gutters like gutters.

    Indeed, the stone is a stone range that is used as a table for offerings to the idol of the ruler of the island of Berhala. The stone range that will be used for the event of cutting the head offering sacrifice will be done by people who want the wealth of the ruler of the island of Berhala.

    Next, two ponggawa people appeared bare-chested, wearing clothes a piece of cloth that only closed his orgasm. The two ponggawa carrying the palace were each carrying some sort of treasure chest. Yes, it's a treasure chest. Surely those two hollow people without clothes would put treasure in that coffin. The two people were standing at the front of the stone range.

    The man was carrying a little boy about two years old. The man walked as he held the boy close to the middle of the palace and headed straight for the range stone that would be used to offer sacrifices to the Sovereign. Yeah, that kid's been tied up by that really cool guy. The little boy was lifted up and placed on a stone of the range. And in an instant the man took out the nine dagger blades available in the stone of that range. A very beautiful dagger, shiny and very sharp. The handle of the dagger was made of gold decorated with jeweled intang. It was truly a dagger that had a very high artistic value.

    The man was ready to offer his sacrifice. His right hand had been lifted up with a dazzling dagger. He had already begun to stick his dagger over the neck of the helpless little boy, who was placed on the offering stone.

    "Ocity ..... Oeeee ..... Hiya .... Yes ..., yes ..., yes ..., yes ...., yes ....."

    There was a voice from the people around the courtyard, and perhaps also the ponggawa and the royal lascars. And suddenly ....

    "Surfht ....!!! "

    The dagger had stuck on the neck of the little boy who immediately wandered on the offering stone.

    "Aaaach ..... !!" the sound of the boy's scream, which was whimpering in pain because his neck had been slashed with a dagger by the male perlente.

    Along with that all of a sudden ....

    "Huahahaha ....!! Huahahahaha .....!!" there was a loud laughter that filled the palace. It must be the voice of the Ruler of Pulau Berhala.

    Along with the disappearance of the laughter of the Sovereign, a strange voice suddenly sounded.

    "Krince .... Cring .... Cring .... "

    There was a clattering sound of metals falling from the offering stone. Yes, it was metal coins made of gold, jewels that fell from the stones of the range of the offering. The sounds of treasure from where the man cut cut cut off the neck of the child stabbed with the dagger.

    Apparently, from the blood that poured out, the blood that came out on the offering stone, the blood of the victim that flowed had changed and came out into a lot of gold jewels. Jewels, coins, diamonds that fell through the crossbeams of stones were immediately entered by two longgawa palace who were preparing to bring a treasure chest. Then the treasure chest that has been opened lid was filled with penug with various treasure objects.

    After all the treasures flowing from the range stone stopped, then two people blew up his treasure chest. Then bring the treasure chest and then immediately handed over to the man who had offered his sacrifice. And the man immediately received the two treasure chests that immediately took him out.

    "Thank you .... Thank you ..." said the perlente man as he stepped out of the palace.

    There are things that make Podin amazed to see all that. Podin looked with wide eyes. It was true what the giant serpent waiting for the palace said, telling him to sacrifice his children. That means that it is that sacrifice that will turn into gold, gems, money and jewelry that is very much in number. Yes, if one person who was sacrificed had produced diamond gems and various kinds of jewelry and money from gold metal which amounted to two chests, what if for example the sacrificed of two children? Three kids? Four kids? The results will be very much. Of course, if he could bring his three children, Podin would be a rich man with diamond gems and various jewelry and money from gold that continues to pour, continue to flow from the stone used for the offering. But unfortunately, his children who were invited just lost out of nowhere.

    After that, came two more ponggawa people, with large and stocky bodies. The two ponggawa are like executioners. He came to the offering stone, then the executioner who one raised the body of the boy who no longer had his head. And the other one graced the boy's head, with eyes glaring and tongues sticking out. He said the boy was not sincere, and will definitely demand a reply later. The two executioners threw the boy's body outside the court. And so does that horrible looking head.

    Time keeps going. Change people who come to the place of the offering stone. And all of them sacrificed children, sacrificed innocent little boys. And of course the result of the sacrifice was the blood flowing from the offering stone, which there would turn into countless treasures.

    The moon has shifted its position. The direction has already begun to tilt to the west. Yes, the moon's already crossed my limp. The moon had already descended from the zenith point. The show on the full night is over. Everyone who offered by cutting off the necks of their children's heads is gone. The event is very sad, very scary, crazy event and certainly makes the stomach nauseous, just aiming to get property without having to work, without having to bother. However, that is what barbaric humans are like, the behavior of greedy people.

    They then went back to their respective places. They're heading back to the beach. They each went home. And of course, all the people who came to the Island of Idols, who came to the palace, they all brought treasure chests. Except for one man who didn't bring a treasure chest, namely Podin. Podin carried nothing, his hands empty, empty without gaining anything.

    Podin can only see people who are happy because they get wealth, while he can only look up. Because on that full night, Podin could not take anyone, he could not sacrifice his children. That night, of course, Podin could only watch without being able to get wealth. His arrival without success. His arrival on the night of the full moon was very futile.
