Impotent: Passionate Rituals
Chapter 22 - Finding Senopati

...༻◊༺...

"Don't say that. We both have to be equally responsible" Arga said.

Baras nodded and smiled. Somehow she felt calm when she heard Arga say that.

"Can you go see Mbah Seno today?" ask Arga.

"of course. I'm a housewife. I have a lot of free time" said Laras.

"alright. But is it okay if we leave after I work?"

"That's not a problem. I'll wait for you at the cafe near here. When you're done, just call me." After cleaning the room, Laras left the Arga clinic. He waited for the man while enjoying drinks and cakes at the cafe.

Baras felt more distant than before. His mood became very good. He even smiles at himself occasionally. Laras seemed excited about the journey he would make with Arga.

"I have to ask permission first with Mas Hery" murmured Laras. He immediately called Hery and told him that he was going to his family's house again.

"Are you sure? You're pregnant now. I should have accompanied you." Hery sounded worried.

"It's okay, Mom. I know you're busy. So I go alone," replied Baras. Trying to talk calmly.

"Yes already. How else... Careful, okay? If there's anything, just let me know."

"Yes, Mum."

"I love you" said Hery.

"I... I-I too," said Laras. Strangely, it was the first time he had hesitated to say that.

Barrel snorted violently. He was again overwhelmed with guilt. The barrel becomes pensive on its own. It was all over when he got a call from Arga. The man has finished his work.

"We'd better use my car to make it easier. You can park your car in my clinic" Arga suggested.

"Good idea," responded Laras. He and Arga leave immediately.

It takes ten hours to arrive at the Senopati location. That includes fast because they already know where the real address is. Arga and Laras have arrived. The two got out of the car and stepped together into the forest.

"How long did it take you to find Mbah Seno's place?" ask Arga. He and Laras walked down the path.

"About four days. The place is really hard to find. That you?" Barrel turned around to ask.

"At least I'm faster than you. Three days!" Arga bragged.

"Is that something to be proud of?" bans Barrel.

"I think so," responded Arga. He and Laras chuckled together.

"You just calm down. I am now looking for construction workers to build the house" Arga said. Soon he and Laras arrived at Senopati's hut. They don't forget to knock first.

The door opens itself. Laras and Arga stepped inside simultaneously. The two saw Senopati sitting cross-legged behind the curtain.

"Sit down!" ask Senopati who is directly obeyed by Arga and Laras.

A faint smile rose on Senopati's face. A smile that is hard to describe.

"So we came here-"

"I already know." Senopati trims the word Arga. As always, somehow he always knew.

Laras and Arga exchanged looks. Both of them are ashamed of their actions.

"You don't have to worry. You're not gonna risk anything after doing all that. The risk is only obtained when the night of the ritual is performed. So I suggest not to do anything bad that night" Senopati explained.

"That means we'll be fine if we do it other than ritual night?" ask Arga to make sure. Surprisingly, he was enthusiastic about it.

"so. But you know the consequences of doing that often, right? Because the more often you do, the risk of being discovered will be even greater. I'm warning you, if you get caught, never get my name involved!" senopati. He emphasized his words at the end. Senopati is serious about her words.

Arga and Laras fell silent. Both do not know how to respond to the words of Senopati whose effect is like threatening.

"I'm sorry, Mbah. We'll be careful" Arga said.

"I don't care if you get caught or not. Don't ever tell anyone about me and the rituals you've done!" senopati said at length. "And one more thing. You two can't be tied up in marriage. It doesn't matter if you love each other" he added.

Arga and Laras once again stared at each other. Both of them rushed over.

"Of course not, Mbah! We already have a partner, where maybe we can get married" Laras said.

"Yes already. If you don't have any more questions, leave now!" balas Senopati's.

Arga and Laras went home. Both were in the car on their way home.

It just so happened that dusk had just turned into night. Arga was driving in the dark.

"Honest me. Do you want to do it again with me?" chirps Arga. He tried to dare to ask so.

Baras looked at Arga. "If I say yes?" responsiveness.

Hearing Laras' reply, Arga pulled the car over and stopped. "Then we can take this opportunity" he said. He and Laras stared at each other mischievously while smiling faintly.

Convinced Laras had the same desire, Arga immediately cut the distance. Shackling Laras with his cradle and touch.
