MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
EPISODE 132: RITUAL PREPARATION

Galuh's grandmother woke up when the rooster crowed. He hurriedly woke Ms. Nisa to perform her duties that morning. Miss Nisa hastily woke up Revan. Revan woke up instantly because he was easy to wake up in his daily life.

After that, Miss Nisa hastily woke up her husband who was asleep in Jatmiko's room. It turns out that Jatmiko was already awake before being awakened by Bu Nisa. While Mr. Ade had to be awakened many times by his wife, then he woke up. After everyone woke up, Grandma Galuh told them all to wash their faces and urinate alternately in the bathroom located to the east of their house. At first, Ms. Nisa da Pak Ade was still afraid to leave the house because she was still traumatized by the incident last night. However, Galuh's grandmother reminded them that during the day the spirit energy of Laras was weak and would not be able to appear before them. Finally u Nisa and Pak Ade were brave. But, Revan still asked to be accompanied by his father to wash his face and defecate in the bathroom because he was still traumatized by the incident last night.

Finally, all the residents of the house have finished cleaning themselves. They are not allowed because it weakens their energy. So, they just wash their faces together.

After cleaning up, Grandma Galuh and Jatmiko also performed the slaughter of four chickens that were specially sculpted by them first. The meat was thrown into the well and his head was put into four containers that had been prepared by them along with the seven forms that had also been prepared in advance by them.

“Nisa …. Ade …. Here!” call Grandma Galuh to them.

“Iya, Mom,” says Bu Nisa slowly.

“Now you guys are sitting around those containers. Me and Jatmiko will cast a spell for your safety.” Said Grandma Galuh who was immediately followed by the three people.

Ms. Nisa, Mr. Ade, and Revan sit in a circle around four containers containing seven-figure chicken heads and flowers. Their hands touch each other. Then the three of them closed their eyes while listening to the spells read by Grandma Galuh and Jatmiko.

By the time they closed their eyes and listened to the spells read by Grandma Galuh and Jatmiko, they suddenly felt like they were about to fly upwards and they were a little shrewd.

“Get in tight! Don't fall down!” granny shouted from behind them.

Finally, Bu Nisa and Pak Ade held Revan so that their child did not tilt or fall. After performing the ritual for approximately fifteen minutes, the ritual was finally completed.

“Now open your eyes slowly!” granny Galuh's Order.

The three of them opened their eyes slowly. Then Grandma said.

“In front of you there are four containers containing chicken heads and seven flowers. Your task now is to plant the four containers in the four corners of the village border. Remember you can't dig the ground with tools. You must use your bare hands to dig up the soil and put the four containers into the ground. Do not let there still be a container that is not finished until noon because it will reduce protection against you. You guys got it?” asked Grandma Galuh to the three people in front of her.

“Pahaaaaam!” replied Miss Nisa and Mr. Ade.

“If you understand, please leave!” granny Galuh's Order.

“Good, Mom!” answer Mr. Ade and Ms. Nisa.

After that they brought the four containers with their hands.Pak Ade brought two containers, and Bu Nisa also brought two containers. Revan brought nothing.

“Come, Dik, We go to the southern part of the village first!” bring Mr. Ade.

“Iya, Mas!” answer Miss Nisa.

The three of them also went to the southern boundary of the village, namely the village gate. It took about fifteen minutes for the three of them to arrive at the gate. While Grandma Galuh and Jatmiko went to the cave to meet Ki Santo to prepare everything else.

After arriving at the gate, Mr. Ade and Bu Nisa began to dig the ground to place the container they were carrying. When they had just dug ten inches deep, they were startled by the appearance of centipedes on the ground. Mr. Ade and Ms. Nisa also chose to move the excavation next to her. Damn, just like before. When they managed to dig as deep as ten centimeters, also appeared centipedes that made them afraid.

“Such like here is the place of centipedes, let me get rid of the centipedes with the bamboo,” said Mr. Ade to Bu Nisa.

Almost Mr. Ade prying the centipede. It was fortunate that Miss Nisa hurriedly reminded him.

“Mas, remember! We can't use the tool to pry!” yelled Miss Nisa.

Mr. Ade also realized that he almost made a mistake.

“Keep how about those centipedes, Dik?” ask Mr. Ade to his wife.

“Mas, it seems like the appearance of the centipedes is also part of the procession that we have to go through. We have to be brave against the centipedes,” said Bu Nisa.

Mr. Ade was stunned by his wife's words. And he agreed with his wife's words. Then he ventured to dig the soil under the centipede with his bare hands.

“Wadaw!” shouted Mr. Ade while holding back the pain when his hand was bitten by one of the centipedes.

Surprisingly, after biting Mr. Ade's hand, all the centipedes suddenly went into the ground and disappeared. Mr. Ade can continue digging the hole so that it is deeper and enough to be used to bury the container containing the head of the chicken and the seven-piece flower.

“Thank God, the centipedes are gone. Your hand still hurts, Mas?” ask Miss Nisa.

“Iya, Dik's. Handicapped pain. But, it's not important that this container is finished being buried. Now let's go to the top west of yaiu rice field and river,” take Mr. Ade.

“Come, Mas!” sahut Bu Nisa's.

The three of them left for the western part of the village. They need about half an hour to reach the western boundary in the form of rice fields and rivers. Once there the three of them immediately dug the ground on the edge of the rice fields and rivers. But the incident is almost similar to occur when they dig as deep as a centimeter. They found that there was an eel head that was gaping, making the three people slightly withdraw their hands in horror.

“Come, we move to another hole!” bring Mr. Ade.

The three of them went back to dig another hole, but unfortunately they were blocked by the head of the eel that was gaping . Out of curiosity, they again dug a hole in another place. And yes, again there was an eel head in the way.

“Mas, let my hands now go inside!” said Ms. Nisa.

“You okay, Dik?” ask Mr. Ade.

“I'm fine, Mas!” ms. Nisa replied while trying to put her hand into one of those dug holes.

Ms. Nisa did not dare to look into the hole as she was also horrified at the eel. When u Nisa's hand touched the eel's head, suddenly Bu Nisa's tanga was sucked in by the eel for a few seconds. It was clear that Ms. Nisa felt fear and pain. But, it was only temporary because the eels then went back into the hole and disappeared. Ms. Nisa and others could continue digging the hole so that it was deep enough for the container to be put in.

“Thank God, two containers are done we put in the hole!” said Mr. Ade.

“Iya, Mas. There are still two more containers that we must bury,” replied Ms. Nisa.

“Your hand is okay, Dik?” ask Mr. Ade.

“Sick anyway, Mas. But, it's okay. The important thing is that the task is completed,” replied Bu Nisa.

“Now where are we going, Dik?” ask Mr. Ade.

“We go down the hill first, Mas. Later we will go to the tomb of MBah Darmo,” replied Ms. Nisa.

“Come, we'll be leaving soon! Looks like it took us quite a while to get this all done. Imagine that the sun has started to rise. Remember the words of his mother Jatmiko, we must complete this task before noon,” said Mr. Ade.

“OK, Mom! Come on, we're leaving!” take Miss Nisa.

“Mas, let's dig the hole!” take Miss Nisa.

“Come!” answer Mr. Ade.

After digging a hole ten centimeters deep, the three men had to vomit because their hands touched human feces. Except Revan wasn't so disgusted.

“Uwek! Uwek!” shouted Mr. Ade and Ms. Nisa.

They also tried to dig in another place that is located a bit far from the original hole. Unfortunately, they again had to touch human feces. Again they are vomiting currents.

“Aduh, I can't take it anymore, Mas!” peekkik Bu Nisa's.

“I too, Sister! Sahut Pak Ade's.

Suddenly Revan appeared and spoke.

“Let me continue the excavation!” revan said boldly.

Finally Revan went on to dig the hole at the risk of his hand touching the disgusting human feces. Surprisingly, after evan's hand was inserted and touched the human waste, all of a sudden all of the dirt blackened and fused with the ground just like that. There was no disgusting smell. And Revan was able to continue digging the hole until it was finished. After that, the three of them put a third container containing a chicken head and seven-figure flowers into the hole that had been dug by Revan. The three of them can breathe.

“The third container is finished. Now we have to go to Mbah Darmo's tomb to bury the fourth container.But, I'm hungry once,” said Mr. Ade.

“Iya, Mas! But it looks like Jatmiko's mother didn't cook. How'this? Do we buy food to the people who live here?” ask Mr. Ade.

“Iya, Mas. Of us even fainted, ntar,” said Bu Nisa.

Just as they were talking about food, suddenly an object fell right in the middle of them.

Puddingy

“Eat it! Today you can only eat that food. Just one time and you did not wash your hands while going to eat the food I threw,” cried Galuh Granny from the aas hill.

“Iya, Mom!” tell them three.

Ms. Nisa also opened the package thrown by Grandmother Galuh and she was surprised when she opened the contents because the contents were frog meat.

“Hiiiii ...,” shouted Bu Nisa in amusement while throwing the frog meat to the ground.

“That's your meal today if you want to be safe. Take that food again because it's your only food now!” granny shouted from the top of the hill.

Revan picked up the frogs from the ground and rearranged them on the package. The child is not easily disgusted compared to others.

“Come, Ma'am .. Sir .. We just eat this instead of our stomach empty!” bring Revan.

Mr. Ade became a trough to see the struggle of his son and wife at that time. He was even more sorry to have been talking evil all this time to Laras.

“I'm sorry, Brother! Revan ...,” said Mr. Ade.

Miss Nisa didn't say. He and Revan forced themselves to eat toad meat prepared by Grandma Galuh. Mr. Ade also steeled himself to eat the frog as well. Finally the three of them were able to finish the frog meat with Revan's guidance. Imagine, Mr. Ade and Ms. Nisa are actually disgusted with the frog's meat especially he is still imagined with human feces that they had accidentally held. However, for the sake of filling an empty stomach they finally struggled not to vomit while eating the frog's meat.

“Good! You finally managed to eat the frog meat. You three are great and compa. If you like this continue, then it is certain that the spirit of Laras will not be able to kill you!” said Grandma Galuh with confidence.

The three men then continued their journey to the tomb of Mba Darmo which was the final destination for them. It took about half an hour for the three of them to arrive at the tomb. Though at that time the sun began to rise and their time was still a little longer.

“Come, Hunt, Dik! Our time is not long!” bring Mr. Ade.

“Iya, Mas!” sahut Bu Nisa's.

Finally they arrived at the tomb of Mbah Darmo when time was running low. Once there they dug the ground. Just as they were digging ten centimeters, they were surprised by the appearance of a scorpion in the hole. The three of them tried to dig somewhere else, unfortunately the result was the same. Scorpions emerge from the hole they dug.

“Time is running low, Dik! Let me put my hand in to dispel the scorpion,” said Mr. Ade.

Mr. Ade immediately put his hand into the hole filled with scorpions and the hand of Mr. Ade was immediately clamped by the scorpion.

“Wadaw!” shouted Mr. Ade while raising his hand from the ground.

Mr. Ade's hand was swollen while the scorpion was still downstairs. Just a little less than before.

Mr. Ade is no longer able to put his hand in because both hands are already sick. It was now Ms. Nisa's turn to offer herself.

“Let me alone, Mas who continues your efforts,” said Ms. Nisa.

Miss Nisa put her hand into the ground and sure enough. Tangam bu Nisa was also clamped by the scorpion.

“Aduuuh!” shouted Bu Nisa while raising her swollen hand.

Surprisingly, in the hole there is still one scorpion whose size is quite large.

“Let Revan finish it, Sir .. Ms. ..,” Revan told both her parents.

”Don't Revan! Your hands will be hurt!” yelled Miss Nisa.

But Revan did not heed his mother's warning because he knew that was the only way for the three of them to survive Laras' spirit attack.

Revan put his hand into the hole and just like the fate that befell his father and mother, Revan was bitten by the scorpion and he cried because of pain .

“Wadaw!!!” yell Revan.

Revan did not pull his hand. His hand remained in the pit and was no longer clipped by the scorpion because the scorpion was gone. With the remnants of his strength, Revan continued digging the hole and the three of them put the last container into the hole shortly before the time ran out. The three of them were very happy because they were still able to complete their tasks in a timely manner.
