🍀 FUNERAL 🍀

🎶🎶 Never thought of by me

Not one bit I can imagine

You're gonna go leave me alone

It's so hard to imagine

So sick I felt

You're gonna go leave me alone

Under the tombstone now

You've been leaning

Your love is so deep

I really can't afford this to happen

Because I'm so in love

This is the last time I saw you

Falling tears I cry bitterly

Only able to say

Goodbye, love

One hour 'I can

Love you, you, you in my heart

But for me to forget you

It takes me a lifetime

One hour 'I can

Love you in my heart

But for me to forget you

It takes me a lifetime

In my den

This is the last time I saw you

Falling tears I cry bitterly

Only able to say

Goodbye, love

One hour 'I can

Love you, you, you in my heart

But for me to forget you

It takes me a lifetime

One hour 'I can

Love you in my heart

But for me to forget you

It took me a lifetime 🎶🎶

The song of the Last Moment is ringing in Santi's mind as he delivers Joko's body to the final resting place. The tomb, which has been excavated and looks dark and empty, becomes Joko's home forever. Santi is still crying. The grief enveloped his heart. Nindy accompanied Santi for fear that he would faint like dawn when he saw the condition of Joko's body.

The funeral went well. After praying, the mourners left the cemetery one by one. Until noon, there was Santi accompanied by Nindy beside Joko's headstone.

"Sister, let's go home. I already want midday. If this brother continues, it can hurt." lirih Nindy umpteenth time persuaded Santi to go home. Santi stood up, he stepped straight towards Nindy's house. Nindy rushed to Santi's hand.

Sometimes, love can blind the eyes, the heart, and even the mind. How loudly others advise, a man who is lulled in love seems to close his eyes, ears, and mouth from all good advice. Love ... wrong taste at the wrong time, will only ensnare the heart more hurt.

"Kyai, should we delay this?" asked Ridho half-whispered so as not to be heard by others.

"After seven days, we will do it. No more than forty days because this is the last. An evil master must be waiting for the woman" said Mr. Anwar with some code that Ridho understood.

Ridho does look closer to Mr. Anwar because Budi has a lot of busyness outside the Pesantren. That's what makes a lot of people wrong. Many think Ridho is actually Lak Anwar's biological child. However, Budi never disputed that. The Heart is too good, and not bad to think of others.

"PakLek, how is Santi? Reno is worried that Santi's sister is going crazy ..." whispered Reno while eating next to PakLek Darjo.

"Hust! Just talk about it! You little brat! You should entertain your brother and make him excited or at least want to eat. PakLek could not bear to tell the truth to your brother," said PakLek while staring at Reno sharply.

"Busyet, tumben PakLek angry. Aye, yes. Reno is also going to Santi. But wait for the stomach to fill because it's really hungry." subterfuge Reno who is actually lazy with complicated romance things. He was afraid also if he remembered the old thing, almost loved Aunt Ningsih. Could be lives lost if with Aunt Ningsih.

PakLek just shook his head at the behavior of Reno who seemed to be an adult, but still likes to joke like a child. "Yes, already. It's up to Reno," said PakLek briefly made Reno afraid.

Reno immediately put the plate that still contains food, only half eaten. He immediately approached Santi's sister who was still sad. "Sister, donk is sad. When you see people, it's not good. After all, who became his wife was not crying, tuh," said Reno who tried to calm but instead ignited anger.

"Obviously he's not sad! He's, isn't he, just sacrificing Bang Joko! Know what you say about people! Even you are the same as ever consumed by his seduction! Don't be so smart!" santi shouted making the person who was there surprised.

Ningsih who was offended came to Santi. Budi chased after Ningsih and clasped his hands so as not to cause a commotion. "Mom, I beg you very much. No need to respond. It's still a sad atmosphere." whispered the worried Budi.

Ningsih took her hand out of Budi's grasp. Then he stood in front of Santi and said, "I'm sorry if your aunt hurt your feelings. Auntie's coming from here. Whatever you're planning, you better break it. Aunt chose with Bima. Auntie does not want to bring grief anymore and does not want to get you involved in this matter. Just gohome. Aunt pamit. Nindy, greet Abah and Mom and tell them I'm home."

Ningsih's statement did not get an answer from Santi who was still surrounded by sadness and disappointment. Nindy simply nodded and looked at Ningsih who passed away. The situation became quiet and Reno returned to the side of PakLek Darjo. "PakLek, Reno order homestay first, yes. It looks like it will be a long struggle. Aunt Ningsih comes home and says choose Bima."

PakLek was just observing Ningsih's departure. His car drove away without a word said to be on his heels with anyone other than Santi and Nindy.

Afternoon ....

Reno's already booked a homestay for a week. He hurried to take the group to rest and left Nindy's house. Of course, they've been saying goodbye to Mom and Abah.

They arrived at the homestay that had three bedrooms, one living room, kitchen, and two bathrooms. Reno accidentally ordered an additional mattress to be placed in the middle room. The three bedrooms are for Santi, PakLek Darjo, and Pak Anwar. The other men slept together in the living room.

They also talked about Ningsih. "I understand this situation. The woman was not only entangled in indulgence, but a love for Satan that made her further away from the divine light. This is the seventh. In seven days, we can do nothing, but after that .. we must be aware of Ningsih otherwise, the forty days it is likely that he will be gone." said Mr. Anwar who had glared at Ningsih.

"Yes, Mr. Kyai. I also thought that way because the demonic-power that gripped Ningsih's soul at the moment was already at its maximum after taking the seventh impact. The best of devils is as bad as man. Do not let your guard down." said PakLek Darjo responded.

The five santri, Reno, Budi, and Santi observed the serious conversation. As if the time is getting narrower, or indeed it is time for everything to happen.

On the other hand, after Ningsih came home from the funeral ....

Ningsih went into the house with an unbecoming feeling. He slammed the item on the table and shouted, "Yes, it's my fault! All my fault!"

The vase fell and broke, while some books were scattered on the floor. Ningsih cried and felt tightness in the chest.

Bima who knew it immediately approached his wife with a human form. He stroked Ningsih's shoulder and said, "Patience, Ningsih. It's a good thing you did. Right now, my energy has recovered 100% and I will protect you. Whether it's that horde of saintly pretenders or Mr. Chernobog, I'll deal with it."

Ningsih immediately hugged her magical husband. Humans can change their minds and forget if they are bored, but Bima is different. Although the love that Ningsih experienced was abnormal, at least that was all that was left in her life.

The afternoon changed night, Bima invited Ningsih to dinner and saw the star-studded sky. Romantic views and situations. Bima whispered, "Ningsih, will you conceive my son?"

A very shocking sentence came out from Bima's mouth. Ningsih looked at Bima without blinking. Then the nod of Ningsih's head became his answer.

Bima also stroked Ningsih's long hair unraveled. He then kissed Ningsh's forehead. "Later tonight, right on full moon. I will give you descendants. Our son." said Bima the happy one. One phase that he did not pass when he became a man long ago is to have a family and loved ones.

This made Ningsih even more confident that the two of them could unite. Magical child? Is possible? Ningsih just resigned with the word Bima.

In the evening, in the room after dinner ... Bima opened the window of the second floor room so that moonlight could enter them. Bima immediately warmed up, fishing the romance that Ningsih pendam. After that, they linked to each other longing to be seen by the full moon and star decorations in the sky.

The wind blows on the bodies of lovers who are drunk with love. That time, Bima asked for the help of the full moon to fulfill her destiny by planting the seeds of love in Ningsih's womb.

"Switch, do you love me?" ask Bima as their game progresses.

"I love you, Bima. More than anything." - Ningsih.

"Then I'll take you to hell to see what it's like there. After this ..." said Bima who then completed everything.

Ningsih took a long sigh, then closed her eyes. When he opened his eyes, how surprised he was already in a strange place. Dark and silent. Bima held his hand. "Come, we start to go around" said Bima who grasped tightly Ningsih's hand.

Ningsih's body, which had not been dressed, became wrapped in a long black cloth that covered her entire body. Ningsih followed Bima who walked out of nowhere. Is this hell?

"Ningsih, this place has already entered into the seventh tier of hell. Soon I show everything." said Bima so that the woman he loved did not regret choosing him as a friend.

Scary people walk everywhere. Ningsih tried to ignore that so as not to be afraid. However, when he knew there was Joko who was experiencing torture, immediately it made Ningsih's heart feel pain.
