🍀 DREAMS IN THE DARKNESS 🍀
The night is getting late. The wind blew carrying a piercing cold to the bone. Actually Ningsih did not want to go home and still happy to be spoiled with her magical husband. However, the fact that at home there are children and their parents who are definitely waiting for Ningsih's return makes him reluctant to spend the night at the Hotel Sky Lounge with Bima.
"Darling, what's troubling your heart?" bima asked as she rubbed the back of the woman who had just been given worldly satisfaction.
They spent a nice dinner together in the room for almost three hours. Not a long time to let go of longing but Ningsih realized that Bima could not accompany her nights at home because of the magical fence made by Budi.
"I missed you. Even though they miss each day. Bima baby, can you come in the house? Penetrate the magical fence or should I ask Budi to remove it?" lirih Ningsih while wearing her clothes neatly.
Bima smiled looking at his wife. However, Ningsih's words have a point. Bima still misses every second of their precious togetherness. It is not just about worldly satisfaction. But more than just having and being together all the time.
"Prophey, Ningsih. Soon my strength will be full. I will make a gap in the magical fence that Budi will not realize so that you do not need to disturb it anymore. Want to be patient?" bima softly said and then landed his lips on the gentle link of love to his wife.
They link and pluck the honey of sweet love. Before going home leaving the rest of the longing that will accumulate. Flavors that previously never Bima and Ningsih natural.
Bima and Ningsih also travel back home. Bima took a walk away to his wife. Ningsih also agreed because there was no other choice for him.
That night Ningsih returned home at around 22:30 and the house was still bustling with laughter. It turns out that Reno and Santi took Mak Sri, Wahyu, and Budi to dinner and play before finally returning home thirty minutes ago.
"Well, Mama's son hasn't slept yet?" Ningsih walked into the house and was greeted with a warm embrace of Revelation running towards her.
"Ma, we went to a really good dinner. Go to a place full of snow. Very good," said Revelation with sparkling eyes.
Ningsih was both delighted and moved. His busyness with the feeling of making his own son neglected. Fortunately, there are Santi and Reno and Mak Sri who take good care of Revelation. Ningsih was not too worried because her son was around good people and really cared.
"Well, it's so nice. Sorry, my mom just got home." Ningsih also returned the hug of her son tightly.
"Aunty's eating yet? This was bought sweet martabak what is the name bright moon huh? Aunty's favorite," said Reno take a box of sweet foods with a variety of flavors.
"Tante ate. Just make you guys. Thank you yes .. always keep the Revelation. Oiya, Mak Sri can rest. Let the Revelation be just like me."
"Good, Mom. Thank ye. Non Santi, Den Reno, Wahyu, Mak say rest first yes. See you tomorrow morning" said Mak Sri.
Mak Sri moved from the living room and went into the room to rest. Ningsih felt bad. Often go without knowing the time. Makes the child less attentive.
"Tante, this is Santi making warm tea" Santi said out of the kitchen, offering a cup of warm tea.
"Thank you Aunt's super understanding niece." Ningsih received the cup of tea then sipped it slowly. Warm and delicious in the throat.
"Tante, if for example Wahyu follow Santi and Reno return to Yogyakarta, can it? Let Revelation home schooling there. Aunty has also just experienced problems in the business field. This is just a yes, Auntie. Let Aunty focus first if you want to start doing business again."
Santi's words made Ningsih riveted. For a moment it was like a rope strangling his neck. Stuffy. Be ill.
"Th-you mean?"
Only a word could come out of Ningsih's confused lips. How could Santi have the idea of bringing the Revelation with him? Is it because Ningsih is too cute and busy?
"Sorry, Aunt. Just like how. Forget it already. Yuk rest must be tired right?" Santi tried to melt the atmosphere and invite all to rest.
Reno and Santi go to their rooms. While Ningsih was still in silence bringing Revelation to her room. Accompanying his son to sleep.
There were no wet tears on Ningsih's cheeks. Slowly but surely began to flood his face which looked sad remembering the words of Santi. After making sure Revelation was soundly asleep, Ningsih went to her room. Arriving at the room, she wiped her face and changed into a nightgown.
Still excited by the words of Santi that made Ningsih sad again. "It's as if I'm not a dick," said Ningsih with her body stretched out on her soft bed. Slowly the drowsiness attacked and brought him to sleep, into the dreamland.
In a dream like never before, Ningsih experienced something strange. Some people think dreams are just flowers. But this time Ningsih's dream looks very real. A dark and quiet place. Ningsih was alone there. Then there was light from a distance. Ningsih walked towards the direction of the light which turned out to be an open door. Ningsih went inside the door.
Ningsih looked carefully at what was around him. A strange place and he did not recognize it. Then there was a woman there, crying for something. Ningsih approached the woman but she could not touch even talk like she was not heard.
The woman cried because her husband was in debt, while she was in PHK by the factory where she worked. Ningsih observes all the events in the strange dream until the woman comes to a psychic. Ask for help in order to gain wealth. The psychic also suggested a supernatural marriage. The woman agreed and accepted the consequences.
Unexpectedly, what Ningsih saw in the dream left her flabbergasted. Bima, the Devil who came to be the magical husband of that woman. Looks from the clothes and atmosphere as if the 90s. Ningsih could not see all the next events. Bima touches the woman, giving her a treasure with the exchange of the life of the husband in the woman's world.
Ningsih was sad because everything she did with Bima was why as the woman did. The first husband is lost, the woman can pay the debts and go to another city to start a new life. The second husband became a victim, the woman became richer and obsessed with remarrying. To the seventh husband. Bad luck after the woman's seventh husband was taken Bima. The woman's business went bankrupt instantly.
Bima who initially looked good and loving turned drastically to be terrible. Ningsih saw the incident in plain sight like watching a live movie. Bima took the life of the woman he married in a supernatural way. Took the woman's blood without a drop to be served to Mr. Chernobog. And even more horrific, the afterlife that woman and hundreds of other women went through. Chained in a Seventh-tier Hell and enslaved by the Devil. Crying, thrashing, begging for forgiveness, all these things are useless because in Hell there is only lamentation and gnashing of teeth.
Ningsih closed her mouth as she saw the extremely terrifying Mr. Chernobog staring at her then smiling with a grin that made Ningsih wake up from her sleep.
"What dream was that?" Ningsih adjusted her breathing which was hunting out of fear.
Looking at the clock on the wall is still at 03:15 and the dream is real. It brings a very great fear. Making Ningsih's body goosebumps.
"Is that true, Bima? Is that woman one of his followers? If so, that means hundreds of other women as well .. am I the same as them?" muttered Ningsih with a languid bow.
Thinking about it made Ningsih feel that Bima was the same as all of her female followers. Ningsih was upset and disfigured his entire bedroom. Anger mixed with jealousy and sadness. Struggling with dreams or reality. Ningsih felt confused and chaotic. He couldn't continue sleeping.

Some time before ....
Santi on the terrace with Budi after the streets. They deliberately let Reno dna Mak Sri enter the house first with Revelation.
Santi also received a small bag of powder from Budi. "What is this Mas?" santi asked while looking at the powder.
"That's the herb powder and bidara extract that you've been praying for. Mix it up on Bu Ningsih's drink later. God willing, Miss Ningsih will see the reality of the previous followers of the Devil. Hopefully with this slowly Bu Ningsih will release her magical husband," explained Budi to Santi.
"Thank you, Mum. If for example Aunt Ningsih drink this is there a certain effect?"
"He will likely see events in the past. Hopefully after this he thinks back to repentance. Honestly, I was very worried about him," said Budi while looking up at the sky.
"Mas Budi, is there any hope that Aunt Ningsih will be freed from the Devil's Nettle?" santi asked curiously.
"Santi, all the creatures of this world have the same hope to change their path. However, not everyone wants to live something different from their previous lives. Some are comfortable getting lost and do not want to turn around so that they are increasingly entangled and mired in the abyss of sin. Let's just do what we can to help Ms. Ningsih. About being free or not, let God help you and may Miss Ningsih repent." Explain it very wisely.
Santi fell silent and observed the powder. How can you mix it into a Aunt Ningsih drink if it's not together? Santi just wishes there was a good time to prepare a drink for Aunt Ningsih. It is undeniable, Santi really wants Aunt Ningsih to repent and escape from all hypocrisy before death comes to pick her up.
"I must be able to save Aunt Ningsih. Got to! That demon took away my mother, even my father. This time, I'll protect the remaining ones. Reno, Aunt Ningsih, Wahyu, and Mak Sri, I will not leave it to the creature!" inner Santi.
