Magic Village
Still a Mystery

The priest and Ayesha walked closer to Bu Mei's stiffened body.

"Sir priest, is Ma'am Mei still alive?"

The man immediately checked his pulse to be sure, and it turned out that Ms. Mei was dead.

All the citizens were still standing outside the house, no one dared to enter. Not long after, a thunderous voice came back. "He is free now, he has fulfilled his promise, I have taken what is rightfully mine, hahahaha...!"

The voice disappeared again.

"This is what happens when humans choose to ally with demons." Said the priest.

Bu Mei's death was horrendous, her mouth was gaping and her eyes were glaring, extremely horrifying.

"Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raajiun....!" The priest closed his eyes, Ms. Mei, until his eyes were closed.

Aisyah did not expect that at the end of her life Bu Mei would end like that.

\*\*\*\*

The next morning after Bu Mei's body was finished in the tomb, the priest and Aisyah sat together while hearing an explanation from Agus related to his father-in-law who did the shirk.

"I didn't know at first either, sir, what my mother did every night in her room, every night when we went through my room there must have been a smell of incense. When I asked my mother to always answer "Your noses are not right, you just don't smell anything." Agus said repeating his mother-in-law's words.

"When do you know what your in-laws are doing?" Ask the priest.

Aisyah just listened, because she still did not have any questions to ask.

"After my baby went missing without a trace, no one knew he was kidnapped or taken by a subtle creature, at that time I began to suspect that my mother had something to do with my missing baby,I tried to tell Wiwin, but he couldn't believe it."

"Why did Bu Mei want to be her ally, the devil,?" ask Aisyah.

"Shah Man, if they are crazy about what kind of treasure they do not want to do? Mother, too, she made it all possible to satisfy her lust, and you saw for yourself how, at last, her grandson became a victim, her child, so that he himself also became the prey of the devil." Agus.

"Then how can Mrs Wiwin be on the river bank?" the priest was still curious about Wiwin's death, which he thought was absurd.

"That night I took Wiwin out, he said something important. I tried to prevent it, but Wiwin did not want to hear my words, he said I was too bad to think of mother. So I let him go." Agus told me a story.

"What time is it when Ms. Mei takes Ms. Wiwin out?" asked Aisyah again, the priest saw Aisha with a frown, the man regarded Aisha's question as a police officer interrogating him.

"About ten o'clock, it's more or less so." Agus answered, he did not feel suspicious about every question Aisyah asked, he answered without thinking about what Aisyah's plan was so much that he asked so many questions.

Agus's last reply left Aisyah speechless, she no longer asked. The girl just stared at the priest with a hard-to-understand look.

"Mas Agus, of course you also keep a bigger secret, he also made mistakes and maybe worse, but spilled everything on Bu May." Say Aisha in her heart.

\*\*\*\*

"You came home a long time ago Aisha? Where the hell is it?" hanum asked while bringing cold syrup to Aisyah.

Aisyah was still daydreaming unaware of her aunt's arrival, she leaned her head on the wooden gazebo post she was sitting on. His mind was still filled with every absurd answer Agus gave this morning.

"Oh my goodness, I'm surprised! I don't know if I have many thoughts" said Aisyah.

He drank a mouthful of that cold syrup, making his throat feel fresher.

"What the hell was that?" Hanum sat closer.

"So I was the same priest who stopped by Mas Agus for a while, Mas Agus told us all the same reason why Bu Mei could make his children and grandchildren as a victim, he told him in detail."

"If there's nothing strange about the explanation why are you thinking?"

"What is strange is only one, when the priest asked Mas Agus why Ma'am Wiwin could die by the river."

"What did he answer?" hanum asked, he was impatient because Aisyah's story was getting interesting.

"Wait a minute, the answer will be Aisyah say, try to say what time my aunt came home from the house of Miss Wiwin?" aisyah asked, she ignored Hanum's question earlier.

"That night my aunt came home at about 23:30 it was almost midnight." Why why?"

"Well, as I thought, Mas Agus must be lying."

"What do you mean?" Hanum began to suspect.

"Mas Agus said, that night around ten pm Wiwin was invited by his mother to go out somewhere he also did not know, Mas Agus had tried to prevent Mbak Wiwin did not go, he said,but Mbak Wiwinnya even angry and say that Mas Agus too bad to think of his mother, and finally yes Mbak Wiwin follow Ma'am Mei."

"Why doesn't it make sense?" Hanum is confused. Because that night he and Wiwin spent quite a long time, while telling stories about problems in his household after the baby was lost, starting from Agus who was often seen talking to himself, and his mother who seemed to hide something from him.

"Aisha you know not, when I went to his house Wiwin, Agus was not there, Wiwin also did not know where he went, and again, where maybe Wiwin went with his mother at ten in the night, he said,auntie's still there until midnight just come home, so it's fun we're talking."

They both are equally confused 😕

The mind is dead-end. How to solve the problem, Bu Mei is dead and now only Agus is left, only the man knows the truth.

"I think Mas Agus also contributed to the death of Ms. Wiwin, and could be the real villain is the man." Aisyah began to guess.

"Auntie feels that way too."

"But Ms. Mei was also allied with the devil, I heard it myself, while following Ms. Mei who went to the back of her house and the woman was seen talking to a subtle-creature, for fear of being caught I went straight away,don't know what else they're talking about after that." Aisyah.

"Mom Mei did make her son a victim, but I think Agus also contributed to this problem."

"Aghh... Dizziness!" Aisyah growled, the more curious she was about Wiwin's death, and Agus' answer caused a question mark.

Agus gave his answer to Aisyah's question, but the answer even raised a new question mark, which is strange.
