DAMNED GIRL
13. NEXT TO GRANDFATHER'S BODY

"Yayan!" Abas runs out of the house to see his best friend trying to avoid Wandi and falls down right in front of his yard. Ki Waluyo followed Abas' footsteps, while Yumna and Bu Tika were asked to remain inside the house. They hold hands with each other. Feeling anxious about the situation that is happening.

"Yayan, hunt's up!" Abas reigned and thrust his hand to help Yayan stand. While Wandi was not far from their place with a cynical smile and full of revenge.

"Kris wulung soka's heirloom?" Ki Waluyo was caught off guard when he saw the keris Wandi was holding. Keris who has a dark history during the Tumapel Kingdom that has claimed the lives of Bayu Ajisena and Dewi Sekar Agnimaya. Now the keris is again held by people who have grudges and anger.

"Go to hell you two!" Wandi pulled out the keris he held towards Abas and Yayan.

Ki Waluyo's hand swiftly helped. He repels Wandi's attack with an armored stick he always carries.

Duarr!

The tree fell again due to a successful attack by Ki Waluyo tangkis. Wandi stared furiously at Ki Waluyo. 

"Disclosure on both of you!" ki Waluyo orders Abas and Yayan to find a safe place. Attack after attack is carried out by Wandi, but many times it can be repelled by Ki Waluyo.

The sound of booms was heard many times. Making the residents hide in fear without anyone daring to step outside the house. Ki Waluyo's aged body overwhelmed him to face the legendary keris. In the end, Ki Waluyo fell on the ground.

"Ki Waluyo!" abas shouted when he saw his teacher coughing and bleeding from his mouth. Abas and Yayan wanted to run over. But Ki Waluyo's hand first gave the code so that the two of them do not approach first.

With a big smile, Wandi walked up to Ki Waluyo who was still limping trying to get up. "Death to you!" yelled Wandi who was followed by a rapid flash towards Ki Waluyo.

"Akhhhh!"

The Duarrrr!

A big bang happened right on target. Ki Waluyo bounced a few meters from his position.

"Base!" Yayan screamed loudly when he saw Abas running to protect Ki Waluyo right before his body was struck by the light of the wuluh soka's keris.

Thick smoke billowed from the bang that had just occurred. Yayan cried a hiccup when Abas' body was lost in the smoke generated by the explosion.

Ki Waluyo rose from his slump when he realized Abas had saved his life from the powerful explosion of keris mandraguna.

Yumna and peeking from inside the house cried a mouthful as she saw her husband disappear with the blast. He was sitting limp on the floor. Ms. Tika also felt tight because her favorite son was killed in front of her own eyes.

It seemed like her worry all along had really happened. Abas will also leave tragically leaving her like Yumna's previous husbands.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.  You're finally dead, too, Abas." Wandi laughed heartily at Abas' defeat. He's ruffled around the waist. Feeling like you've won.

The steaming smoke slowly subsided, dissipating in the wind. Suddenly from within the smoke, Abas appeared standing and immediately ran towards Wandi.

Wandi's body was hit hard by Abas' burly hand. Wandi, who was surprised by Abas' presence, was unable to avoid the blow.  He bounced off the fall, the kris wulung soka he held slipped from his grasp and was immediately taken over by Abas.

"Ajisena's wood is finally back." Ki Waluyo smiled at Abas who came back from the dead.

"How is that possible?" abbas wondered. He wondered why Abas did not die like Mr. Udin.  The kris has a great power.

Abas approached Wandi's position, "You will not be able to kill me with this keris, because this heirloom is really mine." Wandi's forehead wrinkled to hear Abas. "This cherry will only be perfectly usable if the person has the same bloodline from the owner, such as Senopati Bagaskara.  He used to be able to kill me with this heirloom because he was my younger brother, having the same line of obedience," Abas spoke in a tone like a person in royal times.

Ki Waluyo recognized that, he was Bayu Ajisena. The soul that had been reincarnated became Abas.  Ki Waluyo remembers the events hundreds of years ago, when Bayu Ajisena's younger brother, Senopati Bagaskara. He stole the heirloom from his brother and brutally murdered it, because he loved the same woman, Dewi Sekar Agnimaya.

However, the beautiful woman and her brother loved each other until a civil war erupted that killed Bayu Ajisena and Sekar Agnimaya.

"You don't deserve to live! You have been filled with resentment and hatred." Abas swung his hand with a trained attack on Wandi.

Wandi's face paled seeing the drastic change in Abas. He gulped as the keris attacked him. "Akhich!" Fresh blood spurted and poured out after the keris smoothly pierced Wandi's stomach to make the man lay helpless for a moment.

After Wandi was killed, Abas' head suddenly felt heavy and twitched. Instantly his eyesight blurred.

Bruk!

He fell unconscious right next to Wandi's sprawled body.

"Base!" Yumna ran out of the house to Abas. Ki Waluyo, Yayan and Bu Tika came to Abas who was lying on the ground.

The sobs could not be restrained by Yumna. He must go back to see the husband he loves suffering because of him. "Pacify yourself, Nduk. Abas is okay" Ki Waluyo said after checking on Abas.

Not long after, Abas' eyes opened.  Yumna hugged the body of the man she loved.

"Ki Waluyo?" abas's eyes were fixed on Ki Waluyo. "Ki Waluyo is okay?  Wandi why is this?" Abas seemed astonished by the events that had been done.

Ki Waluyo just smiled, "Blessed now, son.  Nothing will stand in the way of your love." Yumna's eyes rounded hearing Ki Waluyo's words, he immediately checked the black mark on Abas' body which was originally a transfer from his body. "Lost, the mark is gone," Yumna cried with excitement as she saw the black mark on Abas' chest disappear perfectly.

Abas smilingly looked at Yumna and immediately hugged her tightly. "No human is destined to be a bad-ass carrier. It's just that God has created a soul mate for each of his servants." Ki Waluyo was filled to witness the love story of Bayu Ajisena and Dewi Sekar Agnimaya who finally united in Abas and Yumna even though they were separated for hundreds of years.

Love has its own way of bringing two people together as their owners.  Although sometimes the universe is often joking to make hurt and disappointed, but love is always there to mediate.
