Kemomong Village
The 17-year ritual

After the caretaker gave blood in the bowl to Bagas and Adit the caretaker turned to other project workers who were present at the event.

After he said everyone had drunk the blood, the caretaker headed to the middle of the field to approach the three teenagers, one girl and two boys. 

The daughter of Agus, two sons of Amir and Minto.

The daughter of Mr. Agus was told to go forward at the table that had been provided and at the table there were offerings that had been prepared.

But strangely on the table there is a fairly large knife commonly called a meat knife, the handle of the knife was wrapped in a red cloth that had been wrapped around the handle of a meat knife.

“letakan your left hand on this table!” caretaker's orders.

The daughter of Mr. Agus was accompanied by his parents on the right and left.

“I don't want Mom, Sir!” said the daughter of Mr. Agus while crying hugging his mother. 

The daughter of Agus father had cried hysterically and thrashed not to follow the caretaker's remarks but, both parents forced him.

“Have not cried you must do it! This is our tradition, so you can be safe!” agus to his daughter.

Agus himself who held and forced his daughter to follow the words of the caretaker put his left hand on the sajen table.

The locksmith also took a small carved machete that had been ritualized before, the daughter of Mr. Agus himself could only resign while hugging his mother he did not want to see what was done by the caretaker.

After the hand of Agus's daughter was placed on the table the caretaker immediately took a butcher knife lifted him up the part to the top slashed the knife into the little finger of Agus' daughter.

Just sober the daughter of Mr. Agus shouted in pain.

“Aaaaaaaa,” shouted Mr. Agus' daughter.

Fresh blood came out directly from the little finger that was cut by the locksmith, fresh blood flowed to the table which contained several sajen.

The locksmith immediately took gauze and tied the hands of the young girl using gauze.

After being tied up the young princess was given a potion by the caretaker for her wound, while the pinky finger that had been cut on the floor was sajen-plated with seven flowers. 

After the event was finished, the caretaker gave back the little finger piece to the young woman to be buried in front of the yard.

Bagas and Adit who saw this terrible event could not bear to watch it again, Bagas also wanted to leave did not want to continue watching this terrible ritual, he said.

However, there was a young man who delivered them earlier to hold Bagas away.

“Don't go first, Brother can't leave this show!” the young man pulled the tagan Bagas who wanted to stand up from the seat.

Bagas also tried to sit back, his real little heart did not accept this ritual event. 

‘Why are they so cruel, treat the teenager to this extent where their conscience is. Do they not feel pity, ' Inner Bagas who do not accept.

The event was still continuing the young girl was told to return to the back of her seat before the event took place.

Now there are only young men who will be ritualized by them.

However, this ritual is different from the ritual experienced by the teenage daughter, the teenage son was attended by a key jury.

The locksmith also brought a furnace that had been filled with embers, the caretaker approached one of the sons of Mr. Amir whom he came first.

The furnace carried by the caretaker was sprinkled with a little frankincense, too, with the sprinkling of incense smoke from the wait began to appear then the smoke from the kemeyan was given by the caretaker to the son of the father Amir.

After feeling enough the caretaker put the furnace on the ground and then ordered one of the residents to take something.

“Take that iron?” the caretaker's orders.

One of the residents who was believed to petrify the ritual process was carrying out the orders of the caretaker.

 A container made of steel that is strong enough in the steel container there are two iron that has been heated, both hot iron that forms a symbol of has.

One of the residents who was ordered by the caretaker brought the steel face along with the two hot iron. Assisted with some residents to lift the steel container to the caretaker's place.

After they managed to lift the steel container the locksmith began to pick up the hot iron earlier.

Bagas and Adit are very tense with the ritual to be done again.

Bagas could not see the ritual that would be done by the caretaker. Bagas began to turn his face away.

 The same scene experienced by the son of Amir. The father and mother of the young man were on the right and left of the son.

“Save his hand!” the caretaker's order back.

“Pak Toni does not want Sir!” said the son of Amir.

“You must follow this ritual rather you survived!” sahut Pak Amir who reminded his son.

The son of Amir extended his hand.

Without length the locksmith put the hot iron that formed the symbol on the left arm of the father's son Amir.

“Aaaaaaaa,” cried Toni resisting the pain of the hot iron attached to the skin of her left arm.

Created a thin smoke as well as a charred smell from the blistered skin Toni continued to groan in pain.

After the caretaker felt it was enough then he lifted the hot iron attached to Toni's skin and put the hot iron back into the steel container that contained hot iron and embers.

The locksmith also took a potion to give to Toni, so that the burn healed quickly.

Toni and her parents were sent back to the back where they sat at the beginning before the event began.

There is only one more rema of sons who have not, namely the son of the father Ask.

The same thing goes back to Minto's father.

 Bagas just looked down sometimes he turned his face so as not to see the threshing ritual.

His heart was upset, irritated teenagers were treated like that. This bagas opposed the strange ritul done by the villagers of Kemomong however, it could not be done. Bagas still thinks long if he opposes the strange ritual in front of them eating villagers will be angry and the construction project of the factory will be constrained.

So Bagas could only remain silent until the event was over.

The event was closed with dance entertainment and eating dishes that had been served by them.

When Bagas wanted to take the cake he saw Sekar was there immediately Bagas began to approach Sekar.

The left hand now holds a plastic plate that is held down by banana leaves while the right hand picks up the cake that Sekar wants to eat.

Bagas who beside Sekar watched Sekar from the tip of the foot to the hair, Bagas's view stopped when he saw the fingers of his left hand were not even.

Little finger Sekar does not exist like a truncated scar.

Bagas who was very curious also wanted to ask Sekar and Bagas also wanted to get closer to Sekar.

“Try this cake Mommy? Mbak must like,” said Bagas who mince words.

“Iya Bang thank you,” said Sekar with a shy smile.

“Can we chat for a moment, if Mbak doesn't mind!”   

“By Bang,” said Sekar with a lowered head.

“Kanya there is a good place for us to chat,” invite Bagas.

Bagas also invites Sekar to a place that is not too crowded while enjoying the food they have taken.

Arriving at a place that Bagas began to dare to ask about the finger of Sekar's hand.

“Sorry if I go long ask, is Little Mbak's little finger the same as that teenage girl?” ask Bagas.

“Emm ... I-iya,” said Sekar who was nervous.

“Casual akh Mbak, I do not do anything evil to insult only I was a little curious why they were treated like that,” asked Bagas who was very curious.

“Do those who see not feel sorry for the pain of the teenagers,” reconnect Bagas.

Sekar also began to speak up and explain the tradition in the village of Kemomong itself.
