Kemuning Climbing

Kemuning Climbing
In the devil's snatch


The slammed open window scared him. The moment he found the thing, Xin's cold, slimy hand pulled him. Xin wore a kebaya outfit grinning flying over him. Onsu slams into unconsciousness, when he awakens he searches for where his wife is. Xin was found unconscious in the rice field. Totom and Kiki clearly saw the appearance of the figure of Xin. They could not wait to tell Onsu the incident.


“Where are you going?” Ask Onsu.


Ime frowned looking at her son's bruised forehead. He packed and lifted his suitcase. Trying to smile in front of his son he said he would visit his family. Onsu remembers his mother was an only child, just like him. His grandfather and grandmother also died.


“Mother doesn't have a brother, who wants you to visit?”


“There is our brother who is in need of mother's help. You don't forget to look after Xin until mom gets back. Otherwise mom will go beat you up!”


Ime got into his car, Onsu waved at Xin who was waving from the door.


At night, Totom and Kiki press the bell of his house. But it looks like the house is very quiet, even the entire lamp is not turned on. Totom trembled pointing to the window, the figure of the ghostly apparition Xin who floated looking at them.


“From Ki! Ghost!”


“Ah where there are ghosts or demons! Ngawur you Tom!” kiki replied, still pressing the bell.


The door opened wide, he saw Xin drifting dripping mucus on his face. The sound of Kiki's screams in continued bi Ndang who was also surprised from the inside. Kiki runs away without his motorcycle while Bi Ndang falls unconscious.


“Xin, where are you?” call Onsu.


Xin was a ghost chasing after him. Onsu ran in the fog, he did not dare to sleep in the bedroom choosing to sleep on the road. Before the morning he returned home, he did not want any residents or his mother's workers to see him. Xin finally told her a secret.


“Creatures on Sacred Mountain almost killed me. A shaman named Kek Langsat said that my blood was fragrant. I've been hiding a subtle creature wearing a kebaya inside a waterfall. Cake Langsat helped me, since then that figure has always haunted me Xin. Forgive me and my mother for not being honest with you.”


“Do not worry, all problems have a solution. I'll give my life for you.”


About the fate of bi Ndang who was given a leave of absence for one week even asked to stop working. He lamented the decision of a long-time home worker in his family. After telling the story, Onsu heard Xin's rumbling stomach. Xin's face flushed in shame pressed down on her stomach. After being with Onsu, he rarely ate or cooked in the kitchen.


“I'll be back soon Xin. What do you want to eat?”


“Same as you.”


Driving a vehicle imagines the figure of his wife changing at night. He buys some food, in the middle of a trip remembering who one of his five trusted friends kept his secret to tell him where the shaman he could go.


Arriving at Onsu's house saw the jewelry box was still intact. He also left behind the necklace and bracelet he had bought. Xin left her, she did not want Onsu to be wretched. On the bus he saw the window, his tears breaking as soon as possible because he wanted Onsu to have a better life. Onsu who soon seeks him a journey of one day one night until fate still brings them together. Just when Onsu's car breaks down and Xin gets off the bus as she begins to feel herself about to turn into a ghost.


Across the street he saw his wife pass out. Bringing Xin home despite his wife's body turning into a ghost shape. He was chased until he fell to the floor. The lump on his forehead increased, in the morning Xin had already prepared a problem for him. He who is always quiet does not want to say more often now say sorry to see his forehead and wounds. Before eating, Xin treated his wound.


The food provided by picking vegetables in the garden makes Onsu very happy.


“Taste you so good Xin..”.


They packed their way to the temple. But one young monk said Xin was only having hallucinations. He doesn't seem to want to deal with the supernatural. A man working to clear the Temple questioned their matter. Onsu asks where is the shaman who can cure the mystical disorder. Getting the address, their exhausted steps up to the old multi-storey house. The man stood up asking if there was any need for them to meet the shaman.


“The shaman you're looking for is not here. He has moved, most people are looking for him for the satisfaction of the world. Once they realize their mistake, ask for everything to return to its original state. Oh yeah, where are you guys from?”


“We are from West region kek.”


“More yes too. Then you guys just stay at my house.”


The man very well gave a large and spacious room. At night, Xin transformed into the ghost of a kebaya woman. He strangled Onsu, the shaman chanting a spell pushing his body unconscious.


The man turned out to be the shaman, a long journey into the Sacred Mountain. Xin's body was so weak that Onsu carried her for miles. Backed by protective spells, they survived various disturbances. The shaman only gave time for two days, because the mountain-dwelling creatures were very ferocious.


Suddenly Xin disappeared, she saw Xin next to the ghostly figure of the kebaya woman who showed a black blood-shed smile. They survived the help of the shaman, but still the demon figure on the mountain was stronger than his strength. After the birth of Bata who became the target of the sacred mountain creature, Onsu sacrificed himself to exchange his soul for the safety of his son.


......................


Worn picture frames, traces of historical relics used by both parents and houses at the foot of the mountain that he had to leave. This time he stood where he was born. The voice call of the woman asking for help, the face of the woman who looks like in the photo shows her form. Kemuning was present again in front of the entrance, he strictly forbade Bata to follow the call of the figure. “Sister, I have to pick him up. His family is looking for Ririn.”


“He's not the Ririn you know. Go home, I don't want you to woe.”


Kemuning saw the same two figures on Bata, as if the woman would get into bad trouble. Bata was still curious, pretending to leave the entrance. He hid waiting for Kemuning to leave.


Passing the turn of the day, he began to enter the Sacred Mountain. He followed the call of entering the forbidden line connecting the black thread from one tree to another.


He knows the land of black marks is dangerous, but his belief in finding Ririn ushers in the vision of an old hut.


The former relics of Sintya house whose presence still often shows the form of people who enter the forest. A grandmother bowed. White hair is disheveled, her hands are folded backwards. He stopped Bata from walking with a glare of sharp eyes.


“What do you want? Is it not dear to your organs? Go!” banish him.


His voice resembled a wolf roar throwing his body open its eyes. On top of the mattress, she saw the figure of Ririn floating giving her organs in her hands, Bata running in fear, she did not have time to chant or burn incense. In front of the door, a smiling old-faced little boy withdrew his hand.


Bata let go of his grasp, he ran fearfully down the stairs. Run all the way until a building is empty. He went into hiding to see five people wearing masks torturing a man who was inside the building.


“Halo boss, this guy won't open his voice. He didn't tell me where the goods were”


“Force him to admit”


“Good orders executed boss."


The mustachioed man hung up the phone, he kicked the body of the man he tied up. His body was battered, blood mixed with rainwater. Inside the open building, the fat man opened his mask holding a knife swinging him.


“Don't kill him before you give me the answer! Do you want to kill the boss too?” popon said he forbade arrest.


“I'm sick of this guy! Aghh! Shit!”


To vent his frustration, Ganjang slashed the prisoner's leg. He was happy to see her screaming in pain. Along the waterhole are traces of the blood of the prisoners they first killed. Looks like fresh ingredients and withered flowers.


“Duh already want afternoon gini surely I have goosebumps if in this place. We leave him alone and interrogate him in the morning”


“You can't say the Goat! Just like you told him to run away!” obet.


“We have not made a fuss just because this useless man. Pan, light the fire. This place is starting to dark” said Ganjang took his phone go out of the building.


In front of the building or walking further away, the signal is interrupted plus a noise from behind the shady trees. The aura gripped, feeling a cold breathing figure sniffing at the nape of his neck. The basket ran near his assembly.


“Your face kayak to meet the devil Gan” said Obet movement to throw a cigarette putung.


“Nothing..”


Overnight in that place one of the five men who liked to wear the mask put a gun to the prisoner's head. He didn't know the rope that tied him a little more came loose. When he was about to shoot he pushed his body then ran fast. Shots hit his left leg and right hand. Bare stepped on his body, heavy boots and fat and large body structure. He stomped all four of his friends until the chaos stopped when the Goat snatched the gun shooting in the air.
