INHUMAN KISS
Dispelling Karma

"Lingsir wengi (At midnight),

Biso nendro (Sepi can't sleep yet)

Kagodho mring wewayang (Tergoda with your shadow) Angreridhu ati (Inward of the heart). Kawitane (Early beginning), Mung reckless njur kulino (Joking just keep getting used to it)

Ra ngiro (Not expecting), Yen will nuwuhke tresno (If it can be love)."

Sayup-sayup is heard the sound of a sinden singing Lingsir wengi song on the wedding night Marijo and Surti.

A strong wind swept across Ki Ponijan's house, as if deliberately waking Tejo from his long sleep.

The wind continues to echo the chant of Lingsir wengi song that is able to raise invisible creatures from sleep.

The night breeze made Tejo slowly open his eyes.

Taj is far from Mbah Ponijan's home, Surti, who hates Marijo so much, is trying to find something to commit suicide. He did not intend to undergo marriage with Marijo let alone be his life companion for life. He then took out a small knife and slashed his veins. But Marijo manages to catch him and soon thwarts Surti's suicide plan.

Damn jal*ng, you think you can start my karma by killing yourself,

Marijo who was so furious with Surti's behavior immediately grabbed the girl's hair.

"Armghhh!"

"I don't want to get karmic by losing the woman I love. Well, since you want to die so much, I will grant your wish that you meet Tejo in Hell." Marijo then snatched the knife from Surti's hand and slashed the girl's neck until she fell to the floor.

*Bruugghhh!!

"Now I've wiped out that karma by killing my wife-to-be. And that means I don't lose or be left behind by the people I love but I throw them away, hahahaha!" tejo chuckled

*********

Slowly the wounds all over Tejo's body began to disappear. He slowly moved his hand. Smelling the scent of the lover's blood makes Tejo rise from the dead.

"Surti.." he said bitterly.

He immediately got up and stood up, "Marijo.. Wait for my revenge!" his screech before darting away from Ki Ponijan's residence.

Tejo literally went on a rampage that night, he ravaged the Lurah Mardiyono residence and killed anyone who stood in his way.

Seeing Tejo's anger, Marijo freaked out. He then fled the village to save himself.

"You'll never be able to run away from Marijo, even to Hell I'll catch you!" arya Tejo

The day changed did not make Arya Tejo stop looking for Marijo. He continued to hunt him down, though for months he could not find the man.

To tell his whereabouts Tejo deliberately ate the residents' livestock and left a wolf trail in every house he came to.

"I'm sure this way your life will never calm down, one day you will definitely come to me Marijo!"

*********

Ten Years later....

"Well, it looks like we're gonna have to raise the night patrol so our cows don't get stolen anymore,"

"True, the theft of livestock is increasingly rife especially at mid-month, hadeeh how this, even though lebaran soon but my livestock has been stolen," complained one resident

"Right, and it's said that stealing our livestock isn't human. Just look at all the livestock no one has taken away by him. He just sucked his blood and left the animal. He also often left a trace of a bite on the home board of the owner of the livestock he killed,"

"Do we need to report this to the head of the hamlet, so that he looks for smart people to catch the creature??"

That night all the residents looked on guard at the patrol post. They are so engrossed in talking about Arya Tejo that they do not realize someone eavesdropped on the speaker. Some of them then toured the village to patrol, and others rushed to guard the cattle cages owned by residents.

"Hopefully tonight's safe, or at least we can catch that thief tonight,"

"Yes!"

All the residents were seen carrying a kentongan and there were also some people who deliberately carried yellow bamboo spear weapons to keep watch while Asu Baung appeared before them.

Meanwhile at the residence of the head of the hamlet.

"There is a rumor that if people who like to steal livestock are not humans, so you have to bring a yellow bamboo gun to kill him, try not to look at his face when you see him, because you can get sick and even die from prolonged illness. Put the yellow bamboo in your livestock enclosure so that the creature can not take it," said an elder of the hamlet giving advice to the residents at the residence ki lurah.

The night was getting late, the patrons began to sleepy and fall asleep. Seeing the atmosphere of the hamlet that began to be quiet made Arya Tejo began to enter the village.

*Shelves, shelves, shelves!!

I smell your scent in this hamlet. I bet you're hiding here Marijo,

He stopped his steps in a cow pen. Just as he was about to open the door of his cage, suddenly a man threw a kick at him until he crashed into the ground.

"It is true that my guess is that it is not man who steals the livestock of the people, but a starving Asu Baung" said one man approaching Tejo

"Don't interfere in my business if you still want to live, get out of here then I'll let you go" Tejo said then get up and stand up

"I don't think a demon like you still has a compassionate soul, I wonder what made you come to this village." said the oemuda

"Aren't you able to find food where you live??, then why do you endanger yourself by appearing in a residential area that could capture or even kill you?" ask the man again

"I've said it's none of your business, get out of here I promise I won't prey on your farm animals, I just want to leave my mark here" Arya replied

"No way, you've made my hometown gripping, so I have to drive you out of this hamlet. Why leave a trace anyway, are you waiting for someone?" answer the man

He then took the yellow bamboo beside him and attacked Arya Tejo. Arya Tejo continued to dodge the young man's attacks without retaliating.

But the more he dodged, the more he attacked him.

"Alright if it's your will, don't blame me for hurting you," Arya Tejo then fired her punch at the young man until he was sprawled on the ground.

"I warned you, but you didn't listen to me. Hopefully you can survive the disease that will infect you," said Arya Tejo

He then snapped his finger until the young man was unconscious.

**********

All the citizens Instantly talked about the appearance of Asu Baung in their village. Even the news of Bayu's illness the shaman the man harassed a Marijo.

Marijo who began to be disturbed by the appearance of Arya in every village he lived, began to influence the Head of Hamlet to capture Arya Tejo. He felt the danger of starting to scout him until he had to influence the lurah to take decisive action to catch the asu baung.

"But how can we catch him, if Mas Bayu who has supernatural powers alone can be defeated by him," replied the head of the Hamlet

"Then I will ask my teacher for help to catch the demon" Bayu replied

"Thank God, then let me lure him out. I'm sure Arya Tejo will soon come out of her nest if she sees me" replied Marijo

"All right, we prepare everything from now on" said the village chief.

That night, no one came out of their house. Only Marijo was in front of his house, the man deliberately went out to lure Arya Tejo to appear in the hamlet.

"I've come out of my hiding place, now Tejo appears. Didn't you really want to kill me because I killed your lover. So hurry out of your hiding Asu Baung!!" marijo calls Arya Tejo

Instantly the wind blew strong, Marijo immediately covered her face.

"Aauuuuu!!!" Not long after, there was the sound of howling wolves were so loud, making the lights in the hamlet instantly go out.

"He's close, I'm sure he'll be here soon, '" a middle-aged man then moved from his seat

He immediately went out to see the arrival of the Demon Asu Baung.

"Take him off!" exclaimed the man as Arya Tejo was about to touch Marijo.

"Kill him!" exclaim Marijo immediately ran away from Arya Tejo.

"It turns out you're still Marijo's cunning. Turns out your appearance was just to trap me, you fucking asshole!" arya Tejo

"This time you'll definitely die Tejo!" marijo

"I hope you leave this place before I go any further. This is my problem with Marijo. We have to solve our personal problems so that there is no grudge between us in the next life" Tejo said

"You... I didn't think you'd come back to hunt me, after what I did to you. I could have killed you back then, but I forgive you, you should have used this opportunity to live well instead of trying to kill me again." he pointed to Bayu

"Don't listen to him, he'll always say that to protect himself. Don't listen to him and just catch the demon!" marijo

A middle-aged man then approached Arya Tejo.

"For a long time without Prince Adipala Sayuti, I hope you still remember me" said the man bowed his body before Tejo.

"Don't pretend to know me Aki, you better get out of here before my patience runs out" Tejo said

"You must still hate me, Prince, to the point of not recognizing me. Well maybe I need to remind you again how our relationship used to be,"

The man then attacked Tejo with all his supernatural abilities. He continued to attack him until Arya Tejo was cornered and fell.

Seeing Tejo fall on the ground makes Marijo immediately take a Yellow Bamboo and stick it to Arya Tejo.

"Death to you Tejo!" the thrill made Arya Tejo squeal in pain

"Armghhh!!"

"Quite Marijo, I just want to capture the creature not to kill it!" exclaim the Shaman

"We have to kill him teacher, because he is very evil and could have killed these villagers if they did not have livestock anymore" said Marijo

"You are good at tongue-licking, I will kill you tonight no matter what," Arya Tejo immediately pulled out the yellow bamboo that stuck in her body and threw it at Marijo.

"Hurrrghh!" Marijo groaned in pain as the bamboo stuck in her back.

Seeing his enemy fall Arya immediately threw his punch towards Marijo. But unfortunately a powerful force hit him until he bounced and crashed into the ground.

"Don't interfere in my affairs Aki, I have no business with you let alone with the residents of this hamlet. I just want to take revenge on the man who made me this way. I also avenge my lover's death, so please don't interfere. I Arya Tejo promised not to prey on the cattle of this hamlet if I managed to kill that bastard!" arya Tejo.

"Stay, even if Marijo's a bad guy you can't kill him. Because by killing him, you won't be able to return to being human again. You will live Eternal life as Asu Baung if you kill him. Is that what you want?" ask the man

"How do you know who you really are?" ask Tejo

"I am a college friend of Ki Ponijan, I was actually the owner of the Wolf's necklace before. All this time I've been looking for you everywhere, but I can never find you. So I was so happy when my student Bayu asked for my help to catch you. So give up on me, I promise I will help you become human again like you used to be" replied the man

Tejo's anger was instantly relieved after hearing the man's explanation he then handed himself over to the shaman.

Ki Broto then took Arya Tejo away from the hamlet.

The man took Tejo to Alas Ijen to perform the Brata tapa in order to return to being human.

"The wood will take care of you here as long as you're imprisoned. I'll also see you when the full moon comes, so do everything well so you can be human again." Ki Broto then left Arya Tejo with Bayu.

Hearing Arya Tejo doing tapa Brata on the pedestal of Ijen made Marijo so furious. The man still had the ambition to kill Tejo even though he was dying.

Accompanied by some of his men, Marijo rushes to the Ijen forest in search of Arya Tejo's whereabouts.

"I had to kill him so that my life could be at ease. I don't want to continue to suffer as I do now. I could never marry the woman I've loved in my entire life. I don't want my descendants to bear the karma of only being able to marry a woman they don't love. It is enough for me to feel what it is like to live in hell, because I cannot get anything I want. It is enough of me to live this karma and I also have to end it here" Marijo said

Upon arrival at Alas Ijen Marijo immediately slaughtered anj*ng forest to lure Arya Tejo out.

But how much he killed the animal, Arya Tejo did not come out of her place of asceticism.

"Well, if this doesn't work then I have another way to lure you out,"

Marijo deliberately sent his men to meet Bayu to meet him.

"What did you call me here for?" ask Bayu

"Ki Broto ordered me to give this blood to Arya Tejo" Marijo replied as she gave her a bottle of Anj*ng forest blood.

"Why isn't Aki herself coming here, after all now is the time to come visit us. So why send you here?" ask Bayu

"That's because he was sick, so he sent me to meet you" said Marijo

"How can I trust you, if you were really sent by my Master" Bayu said

"Is this enough to prove that I didn't lie to you?" marijo's question showed me a magic ring belonging to Ki Broto

"All right, I believe you" Bayu replied, then asked Marijo to meet Arya Tejo

Marijo secretly takes his firearm and guesses Bayu until the man is killed.

"Now your guards are ready, so be ready to catch up with Arya Tejo, hahaha,"
