BLACKSMITHING
Attack from Barjo

“Are you okay?” ask Ardi to Barjo.

“Nothing,” Barjo said.

“I feel sorry for the traders here, I had heard if he asked for any dues,” said Ardi.

“Well that's how it is if humans are greedy, no wonder,” Barjo said.

“Do you want to go home?”

“You where else,” Barjo says.

“Ya already then I come with you,” said Ardi.

“Aren't you on duty, you should just finish it,” said Barjo while cleaning his merchandise.

“There's actually something I want to talk about.”

“Ya already then.”

Barjo and Ardi also went from the market to the forest, again Ardi felt strange when in the forest, he felt he had never set foot in the forest. A very different atmosphere more shady and cool do not look scrub because curious he asked Barjo.

“It seems like this is not the road we used to go through, is this another road?” ask Ardi.

“Hutan even nature knows which human with a sincere heart, by itself they will make your way easier,” Barjo said.

“When they accept you, you can freely go in and out without fear of getting lost, even if you take any direction you will get to the destination,” Barjo continued.

The statement from Barjo made him even more confused, for him Barjo's speech was enigmatic.

“Actually who are you?” ask Ardi.

“Who do you think I am? Demon?” barjo said while chuckling.

“You are not too good with others, because later it can hurt you,” continued Barjo who had known the intention of Briptu Ardi.

Briptu Ardi only smiled and lowered his head as he was unable to reply to the words from Barjo. Just a few seconds later, he lowered his head, and the unexpected surprised him.

“Loh ... Have we arrived yet? Very fast,” said Ardi was surprised unknowingly he was in front of Barjo's house.

“I told you because they accepted you,” said Barjo.

“What a strange and magical,” muttered Briptu Ardi in heart.

They both sat on the porch of the house consisting only of wooden boards arranged and wicker bamboo.

“Do you not want to go from this forest and stay with other citizens?” ask Ardi.

“I have fused with this forest, there is no place for me to go other than this forest,” said Barjo.

“Then, do you want if I fix your house?” ask Briptu Ardi.

“If you want please,” says Barjo.

“Good then, I have coordinated with some of my colleagues who are here,” he said.

“How about your job?” ask Barjo.

“The investigation process is still ongoing and it looks like it will take a long time so we have to wait,” said Briptu Ardi.

“Oh yes? Then go ahead. If one day you find the culprit what will you do?” ask Barjo.

“Entahlah. Maybe I will ask why he can do such inhumane things but, coming back again there will be no smoke if there is no fire,” he said.

“What do you think is the appropriate punishment for that person?” ask Barjo.

“Depends on what the motive is, but I think a life sentence,” said Briptu Ardi.

“If later you find the culprit, then you just shoot him dead, otherwise I think everything will be free,” Barjo grinned.

“I will not until the heart does so, let the law that determines it,” said Briptu Ardi.

A long chat took place between Barjo and Briptu Ardi until finally Briptu Ardi decided to go home.

Barjo went inside the house, he sat down cross-legged and called some stealth to harm Tejo.

“Go to Tejo's house destroy and torture him to death!” barjo.

The figure simply nodded its head and disappeared like a thin smoke blowing in the wind. Barjo grinned while imagining Tejo's stiff body drenched in blood.

The sky began to darken, the howls of the night animals broke the silence of the village, no more hustle and bustle of the voices of the citizens. Coffee shops have not shown their activity. All the people locked the door tightly. While Tejo sits casually in his living room while enjoying a cigarette until something surprises him.

Braaakkk!

It sounded like a huge rock was thrown on the roof of his house. Hearing the loudness of the voice, Tejo and his subordinates were surprised, they immediately gathered to meet Tejo.

“What sound was that?” ask Word.

“It looks like there's something above,” says another.

“Quick you guys check!” tejo's orders.

They split up to find the source of the sound, but they did not find anything.

“Sorry Den, we found nothing, we have looked for it all the way to the back of the warehouse,” Karim said.

“Yes already, you guys keep watching! Don't let your guard down!” tejo.

As it was getting late, Tejo walked into his room and laid his body on the bed. Tejo closed his eyes until he entered his subconscious.

The figure of Barjo's man who came near Tejo, he tried to enter Tejo's body. Instead of succeeding, the creature instead bounced and screamed in pain.

He saw Tejo's body as if it was protected by a thick black puff of smoke. Repeatedly the creature approached repeatedly he felt pain even he felt his body was very hot as it was burned.

It was known by Barjo, he was upset and only realized that Tejo was wearing a talisman.

“You have preceded me Tejo! Just look I'll finish you off with your shaman!” barjo.

Barjo arranged his sitting position, he was cross-legged while holding both palms together on his head.

With a flash he could see who was helping Tejo and what amulets Tejo used.

“Ha-ha-ha apparently Tejo had the guts to take the pocong rope,” said Barjo.

“We'll see if your shaman is able to face me!” barjo said as he opened a kris wrapped in black cloth.

Barjo began to burn incense on his legs, smoke soared high but there was a strange appearance of the smoke, the smoke was pitch black as usual.

He began to surround his keris around the furnace and put it on the floor, as soon as the keris moved by itself and stood upright with the end of the keris facing down.

Barjo began to recite the mantra, and the keris lifted itself up until Barjo mentioned a single word.

“Defamed!” he said out loud and the keris disappeared.

Apparently Barjo sent the kris to attack Mbah Sirah who was meditating at the time.

The knowledge of Mbah Sirah is quite high, but he got the knowledge from the results of studying in contrast to Barjo who is directly allied with the devil. Compared to Mbah Sirah, Barjo is much stronger because there is interference of supernatural rulers.

But Mbah Sirah can find out the attack from Barjo, quickly Mbah Sirah dispels the keris with his inner strength. The strength of the energy pressure from Barjo made Mbah Sirah unable to hold it until the keris broke through Mbah Sirah's defense.

Mbah Sirah fell down while holding her stomach, not long blood spurted out of her mouth. Mbah Sirah quickly returned to sitting cross-legged and reciting a spell to neutralize himself.
