In the evening, Wayan Rasta's family was gathered in the living room with Grandpa Parjo and Granny Ratih who were currently staying at his house.
" I thought Gandi was here. You see, he has not been to our house for a month" Grandpa Parjo said with a sad look.
" He had not visited Gayatri for a month" said Wayan Rasta, who was also very sad. Because usually Gandi always accompany and help him work .
" It looks like Gandi is having trouble in his people. We just pray that they are in good condition" said Grandma Ratih
" Grandfather, who is Bhuta Bukal . I often hear her name mentioned, but I don't know who she is" Rara said cutting off their conversation because she felt sorry for her sister who every day thought about her husband. Although Rara could not see her sister's husband, but she believed that her husband really existed, because she often saw Brother and his parents while chatting with her husband.
" In the teachings of Bali know various types of Bhuta Kala. A subtle creature whose form resembles a sinister demon, whose duty is to disturb humans who are negligent in their lives. In the ancient contours of Bali there are thousands of names of Bhuta Kala who have their respective duties. One of them is Bhuta Bukal, a type of demon from Bali that still few people know. As the name implies Bhuta Bukal is said to be a giant bat demon. This creature is also often described as a human-bodied demon that has wings and a bat head, therefore he is also known as Kala Hulu Bukal which means bat-headed demon. Mentioned in the book Lontar Purwa Bhumi Kamulan, Bhuta Bukal is one of the one hundred and eight demons created by Bhatari Durga Bhairawai when he meditated. This demon is given grace as the ruler of space and time when the change between day and night, or Balinya term 'Sandikala'. This Bhuta is in charge of ensuring that in the afternoon before night there are no humans who are active outside the house without a clear purpose and purpose, especially in children. If this ban is still violated, it can certainly trigger the anger of Sang Kala Bukal as the owner of the time. The Bhuta Bukal is believed to be the cause of unwanted things when the day is near night. Such as the emergence of anger, hatred, commotion and even disaster and accident. He has the ability to play with human emotions. Balinese people believe people will be more easily angry and can not control themselves when Sandikala, because it is controlled by Sang Bhuta Bukal. Bhuta Hulu Bukal is the personification of the dark forces that emerge at the turn of day and night. Described as a bat because the animal is out at night. So when the time is expected we must always think positive, pray diligently and do not do negative things. Certainly, there will be no unwanted things" Grandpa Parjo explained.
" Oh so, I guess the ban is just to scare the little ones," said Rara, scratching her itchy head.
" Oh yes, Sir. This morning, Ms. Siti lost money. He cried thinking about the money he lost. Even though the money was to be used to bring his sick child to treatment. Then I just gave him the money from selling my can, because I didn't have the heart for him. Moreover, she is so good with us," Luh Ani told her husband.
" Where is the money, Mom ?" tanya Wayan Rasta with a curious face.
" The money is stored in his bedroom closet. When I came to bring the canang to her house, Mother Siti went to take the money in her closet, but the money was not there. Though said Ms Siti the money was just put in the closet. He was also at home with his sick son. When Ibu Siti was crying a lot of neighbors came and comforted Mother Siti. Then there was a Jro Balian came and told Mother Siti that the money was taken by Brerong ", said Luh Ani, recalling the incident earlier this afternoon.
" It's so sorry for him. Ibu Siti's husband is also going to work in the city" said Wayan Rasta.
" Sir, what is Brerong ? " ask Rara while raising her eyebrows.
" Brerong in the belief of Balinese people is a supernatural creature who likes to steal money. For Balinese people who lose money seriously in a money storage area, it is often assumed that the money is taken by Brerong" explained Grandpa Parjo.
" Grandfather, how can that Brerong not take our money ? " ask Rara again
" According to the old people of old times there are various ways to keep money from being taken Brerong which is known as 'Detulak Brerong' which is a hanging branch of a banyan tree. Looking for a banyan twig for the Brerong Tetulak should be at the right time during the day. The tree must be one that has never been cut down. In spiritual terms, this banyan is called 'Bingin Sari' which has the essence of nature and magical powers. Before taking Bingmbang Bingin must ask permission first by arranging a lump, then cut the length of the slim should be three inch, and, then put it in a clay pot and put it in the kitchen for three days to beg for the grace of Lord Brahma. After three days, place the banyan twig at the base of the money depository or tie it to the money. The banyan twig was considered to have a strong magical aura, when Brerong or tuyul was about to steal money, he would feel the magical aura of the Bersang Banyan Sect, he would feel, and felt frightened and immediately undo his intention to steal because he thought there were other supernatural beings in the place where he stole. This Beringin Slim Means cannot be used continuously, must be replaced every 21 days, and there is a prohibition in using this means that it should not be stepped over or slept with a cat, because cats are considered as neutralizers of magical means. But if the cat is only silent next to this facility is placed, then the power of Slim will increase," said Grandpa Parjo while stroking Rara's hair.
" Then you're sleeping now ? Because it's night," Luh Ani told her two daughters . Gayatri remained silent. He thought of Gandi who did not come.
Gayatri then went to her room excitedly. He thought Grandpa Parjo and Grandma Ratih had come to his house for bringing a message from Gandi, but instead asked Gandi's problem to him.
Gayatri shed her tears of longing and anxiety with Gandi.
" Why has Gandhi been there so long ? " rummuring Gayatri. He remembered his dream earlier.
In his dream he cried out for help, but no one came to help him.
Suddenly he saw the door of his room open by himself. Then a figure of Grandma with a very terrible appearance was dancing in front of Gayatri's room. Gayatri's body suddenly could not be moved .
" Yes, God .What really happened ? Why is Leak bothering me ?" muttered Gayatri in his heart.
He was so frightened, because his body was completely immobile.
" Gandi, help me ! " gayatri murmured again as she shed her tears.
Leak was still standing in front of Gayatri's room. She kept laughing while dancing . He then took out a poison from his hand. The leak opened Gayatri's tightly shut mouth using his knowledge. Gayatri's eyes immediately rounded when her mouth opened on its own.
" Mother, Father, please help me ! " gayatri muttered in her heart as she continued to cry. Gayatri tried to keep her mouth shut, but she couldn't do it.
Leak then threw the poison towards Gayatri. The poison flew into Gayatri's mouth. Gayatri tried to fight so that her body could be moved, but unfortunately she could not move her body. His mouth was also still open, while the poison was getting closer towards his mouth. When the poison was right in front of him, Gayatri closed her eyes while saying the name of Lord Shiva in her heart.
" Om Namah Shivaya's...Om Namah Shivaya's...About Namah Shivaya..." Gayatri could only give up on what would happen to her.
Suddenly a fire came out of Gayatri's body. His face immediately turned angry.
" How dare you want to hurt me," cried Gayatri with a loud voice and a sharp eye.
Leak looked surprised to see Gayatri who could make a sound and move her body.
Gayatri blew the poison so hard that it went into Leak's mouth. Then came the colorful snake from Gayatri's body. The snakes attack the Leak until the Leak disappears.
After that the snakes also disappeared, and Gayatri immediately fainted.
Not long after Gandi came and saw Gayatri's body full of sweat.
The man could sense that Gayatri was in danger, but he could not come sooner because his people were still protesting.
