#4. Baillet
"Teacher" I said to Ki Sena who was sitting cross-legged facing an altar table with various offerings on it. A thin puff of smoke from the incense consumed by the embers, drifting thinly spread a fragrant aroma, filled the room.
The 58-year-old man looked at me. His eyes were calm but behind his calmness was stored a great power, making me not dare to look at him for long.
"You've got everything you want, son Doni," he said in a heavy voice.
"Thank you for the help of the teacher. If there's no Master helping me, maybe I'm still a jobless young man,"
"It has become my duty and duty. But, remember there's a price you have to pay and it's not cheap, son,"
"Teacher, for the sake of happiness, whatever I have to do and I can pay even with my life. I don't want anyone to take my wife, including Jonas. However, I wonder why there are still terrible figures coming at me. Haven't all the requirements been met ?" my many.
Ki Sena stroked his beard, "I know that. You remember when you disguised yourself as Jonas and made love to him ?"
"Of course I remember, Master. Although I actually prefer the original me not the figure of Jonas, genderuwo or the others. But, I wanted it from the first night of our wedding,"
"I understand. But, the problem is because I used the power of one of the evil figures. The tubal that is used for your delivery is no longer suitable" explained Ki Sena, "The lump must be replaced with the blood of a newborn baby, son," he continued.
"It's that far, Master?" my many.
"At least, you should find 5 red babies, drain their blood and bury them in your antique storage. Your deadline is to arrive at the night of the full moon. Otherwise, I dare not guarantee what will happen to you, someday. You can't escape the deal you made before,"
I smiled wryly, suddenly I remembered something, "Teacher, I heard in an area, there were many events, where, old pregnant mothers and when it was time to give birth, suddenly lost the baby. Is this some kind of prank or not ?"
"It's not mostly done by a woman who wants her to stay young and beautiful. And so, they performed the ritual of summoning Kuyang,"
I smiled and whispered something into Ki Sena's ear. At first the man was surprised, before long laughing, "You're really sneaky, well I'll help you. You sneaky,"
"To make my wife happy, I have to do it" I said.

Bianca. The young woman was accompanied by her husband, Paidi, walking in the front yard of her house. Sometimes he stopped for a moment holding his waist that felt numb and stiff, while his right hand rubbed his distended stomach. 5 months was the age of the fetus in the womb of the 25-year-old woman.
"If you're tired, take a break, baby." said Paidi.
"Where can rest, if there is no place to sit," said Bianca ketus.
Paidi patted Bianca on the shoulder, "Tuh, in front of us there is a gazebo, just walk for a while, until. Why must it pout so ?" he said, leading his wife back and arriving at the gazebo. After making sure the seat was safe and clean, he helped Bianca sit comfortably.
"You're why, baby... From that moment out of rage," asked Paidi while wiping the sweat on his wife's face.
"I don't want to be left alone, mas," said Bianca annoyed.
"Oh, that... I'll work for our future, baby. Listen, my gestational age is 5 months, being vulnerable. If there's a problem, you talk to me about it. It's not good for your health as well as the baby in your womb, baby..."
"I know, mas... I'm just scared" Bianca said.
"What are you afraid of, baby ?"
Bianca looked at her husband deeply, "What's right, I don't know ?" Paidi shook her head.
"Rumors circulating in the residents of Karang Tiga. Not only here but, the hamlet next door and surrounding areas have also heard it, mas..."
"What rumors ?"
"Lately, many women are pregnant and it's time to go into labor, to lose the baby mysteriously" Bianca said.
"really ? Is there such an event?"
"You can ask him directly to Jinten, the next-door neighbor. Though we both before settling here both know that she is pregnant for 7 months. But, once the time comes to delivery, the baby in the womb is lost somewhere," explained Bianca, "Jinten is also often left behind by her husband to work, mas. L'm... I don't want to suffer the same fate as him. I'm scared, mas..." Bianca ended her story by crying. Paidi hugged and tried to calm him down.
***
That night, Bianca couldn't sleep well. Repeatedly woke up when a strange sound was heard on the ceiling of his bedroom room. He tried to wake Paidi who was fast asleep next to him. Paidi was like a dead man, all she heard was her snoring.
"Plakk!!"
"Mas, wake up !" Bianca who had run out of patience snapped and slapped her husband's cheek.
Of course Paidi was surprised and jumped up, "A...What's up, baby ?" she said she was nervous while the back of her right hand wiped the saliva that soaked the corners of her lips. His half-closed pair of eyes turned to look at Bianca's face that was crimson with annoyance.
"It hurts my cheek. Can't you wake me up by not slapping ?" he said grimacing in pain, his left cheek feeling hot.
"Yes, it's okay. Tell me what's up, baby ?" tanya Paidi who had slowly regained her consciousness and she heard a strange sound from the ceiling, "What sound is that ?" tanyakanya.
Bianca shook her head, "The sound was like it came from the wooden stakes up there" he said.
"Then let me check" said Paidi about to come down from the bed, but Bianca immediately snatched her hand, "Don't leave me alone, mas.." his whine spoiled.
Paidi smiled as she grabbed the flashlight, "Alright, you can come, be careful,"
Bianca immediately hugged Paidi's left hand tightly, her body cold hot and her heart racing while the flashlight was pointed at Meranti's wooden pegs on the ceiling.
Their hearts seemed to stop beating, their jaws seemed stiff to see a black shadow hovering from one peg to another. The shadow stopped and slowly turned around, only then could the couple see its terrible shape and form.
A woman's head, black-haired, long and scattered. His pair of eyeballs were black, he grinned, his tongue sticking out and drool dripping down the floor. He has no flesh, skin and body. The lungs, heart, liver, kidneys and spleen are almost fused with their broken down intestines.
The figure floated low slowly, he approached the young couple who were now transfixed like magic. He floated around stalking them and stopped right near Bianca's distended stomach. He opened his mouth and...
Bianca screamed in pain, her stomach was heartburn and the contents were sucked out.
"Aakaakkhkhh.... It hurts so much, to.to.... Please,"
Paidi seemed shocked once, for life never to meet such a terrible figure before her.
The incident happened very quickly, Bianca collapsed unconscious and the creature disappeared. Paidi was like waking up from her sleep and found her wife's body rolled helplessly.

He seemed very happy with the luxurious two-story house with Dutch architecture, a smile on his face, made me not tired of looking, he never again turned away from me. The betrayal of his love for me, has been paid off and I have forgotten it. Dhea, you are my most beautiful and sweetest wife in my entire life. Whatever your wish, I'm full... That is my duty, duty and responsibility as a husband. That's my dream.
There is still one more task to be completed. Jonah. The young CEO still expects Dhea to return to work for him. No, this has to be resolved, I have to end it all. I don't want anyone to ruin our happiness, don't want anyone to touch and have my wife. As long as Jonas is still trying to develop his wings in Coral Two, I won't be able to calm down. I have to think of a way to get him to his feet, get as far away as possible. He could no longer involve himself more deeply with Dhea. Maybe this is the more appropriate way I think.

Jonas flinched when I decided to buy all of his company's assets and shares. He thinks I'm joking, probably already know my family's destitute background from Dhea.
"Dude, just mention the face value of the money I have to pay you, don't hesitate," I said, staring intently at him as I prepared my checkbook and pen to write.
Jonas hesitated, I could see through his eyes. I went back to saying, "You're afraid, I can't manage this company because I'm from a young villager who knows nothing about the banking system ?"
"Bus ... It's not. Don't get me wrong, man," said Jonas.
"You're reluctant to mention it ?" my insistence.
Cold sweat poured down from his forehead. Jonas really couldn't decide. My patience ran out too, I handed Jonas the checkbook and pen and said, "Help me write the nominal amount, man... ? You can write it down in this checkbook,"
"Why are you forcing me, ma'am ?" ask Jonas. I smiled, this is what I was waiting for.
"Well," I said, "You want to know the truth. Then I'll just confirm it now. I know, you still have hope for Dhea, my wife, don't you ? He resigned the other day,"
A pair of Jonas' eyes were wide open. I didn't care and went back to saying, "I did all this for Dhea's sake. In the past, I felt guilty for many things: not being able to give him happiness, not being able to position myself as a good husband. Then you show up, coaxing her in so many ways that you secretly have an affair. You think I don't know ? I was willing to be his footwear, willing to be trash and ignored by people. But I didn't give up just like that... My determination was round and until slowly but surely, I managed to restore my pride. Can you imagine how my pain and struggle to restore my identity as a man. After Dhea resigned, you still kept calling and asking her to return to your side ! So I decided to end it all without hurting Dhea. The only way is this. You didn't lose even a fraction of all the assets and shares of the company I bought. You can also start a better business elsewhere. But, remember, stop interrupting our lives. Let us live our household ark without a third party. Do you understand now ?"

I held the stiffened baby's body in my arms. Still I remember her crying before she died, she cried in a voice like being strangled as I dried her blood.
My heart is crying, I can't count how many babies I have to give up for this cursed offering. A pair of my eyes stared at the mounds of earth surrounding the building that I had used as a storage warehouse. Inside the mound, buried dozens, hundreds maybe also thousands of bodies of tiny newborn babies by the mother. In addition, buried the bodies of street prostitutes whose age is classified as young and beautiful. I used them as my incarnations to kidnap newborn red babies. I have allied myself with the jinn, and can see the cruelty that I have committed solely for the sake of making Dhea happy and pleasing to my wife.
I sat down with trembling hands and buried the baby in my sling in the hole I had prepared. I cried and felt sorry for doing all this.
I remember all the tips and advice of Ki Sena, my teacher...
"Son Doni, there's all cause and effect, one can't avoid mistakes but you can control them. What you sow, that's what you reap... That's karma. You have allied yourself with the jinn, then, you have to bear the risk. Good or bad. You can make your wife submissive even you can get that young CEO named Jonas to his knees in front of you, you can do anything you want because you have everything, it is a fruit that I think is good. But, you realize, you're good at walking in tandem ?"
That is the advice and advice of the wise Master in my opinion. I realized something bad was approaching me and I couldn't possibly escape death.
"Teacher, let me ask Master for help again. But, no need to worry, I'm not asking for anything weird anymore. Let's just say this is my last request. Later, if I die, I beg Master to accompany me, at least pray for me so that all my mistakes are forgiven by Allah SWT. Pray for me that I may be worthy to face His presence. I don't care about all my possessions anymore,"
That was my last wish... For I am but a weak and frail man, helpless at death.
My work in this world may not be finished. However, after successfully realizing my dreams and ideals, even I am willing.
