MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
EPISODE 37
I who was hiding behind a rock became hysterical and could not bear to see the man I loved the most was in such a state. Without a second thought I immediately jumped out of my hiding place and hurriedly took out a small knife from my waist. I took a position behind the tiger so as not to be seen by the beast. With trembling steps I walked up to the giant cat and with full force I thrust the little knife into the neck of the fearsome creature.
BEEEEEEEKKK
Instead of bleeding, when I pierced his neck, my very sharp little knife could not penetrate the tiger's skin. It was as if his skin was made of metal.
I was shocked and amazed by the sight before me. As powerful as the animal, it seemed impossible not to be injured if it was pierced by my small knife which is very sharp. As I recall this little knife can easily cut through pipes and logs. But, strangely the tiger skin in front of me was not scratched in the slightest by being pierced with it.
BEEEEEEK BEEEEEEK
I also repeated stabbing the other body parts of the white tiger. But the same, the tiger kulita is very strong and not scuffed at all because of it. Fortunately, the tiger did not turn around to attack me. He still concentrated on eating the increasingly helpless body of Mas Diki.
I retreated for a few seconds because I felt hopeless about not being able to hurt the tiger. Mas Diki looked at me with a look of despair. I couldn't bear to see it. I thought for a moment, though,
"Why can't this tiger in front of me be harmed with a small knife in my hand? I was sure I stabbed him right. If the skin is made of muscle tissue and fat, it will definitely hurt. Or maybe, this tiger is not an ordinary tiger, but it is a creature. If so, of course he will not be as easy as it was injured due to being attacked by ordinary physical objects. So, how to hurt and destroy this white tiger, huh? Ah, I'm confused. I don't want Mas Diki to be hurt or killed by him. I couldn't forgive myself if it happened. So, what should I do to save Mas Diki?" I said to myself.
For a few seconds I thought hard. I remember Siti's message that only I can save my son.
"Does that mean that Mas Diki will be killed tonight? Nooooooooo!!!" I said in my heart.
I took a deep breath. I stared at my husband who was already helpless in the tiger's safety. I pulled out that little knife. I lifted the little knife in front of my face, then I brought the little knife close to my mouth, then by saying basmalah, I spat on the entire surface of the little knife. I ran back to the white tiger. Arriving near the white tiger, I saw the tiger's mouth go down and prepared to bite the head of Mas Diki. Down there Mas Diki already has no power at all. I lowered the small knife firmly into the neck of the white tiger.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGH The sound of moans coming out of the tiger's mouth.
The tip of the small knife I threw finally managed to pierce the white tiger's neck and from the part I punched out a blood-red blackish.
I pulled the little knife back and pushed it back into the tiger's eye more forcefully.
ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH
For the second time the white tiger groaned in pain. This time he threw all four legs so that accidentally due to the random movement, the body of Mas Diki who was under him was scratched and thrown to the side.
"Whoo!" Mas Diki shouted in pain because his chest was hit by a tiger scratch so that it was slightly injured. I ran to my husband.
"Maaaaas, are you okay?" much worry.
"No, Sister. Mas it's okay. Only my chest was injured. And I don't have any energy at all at the moment. Thank you, yes, you saved my life. You are great, Dik," said Mas Diki.
"Heart, yes, Sister!" answer Mas Diki.
I stood up and walked up to the white tiger again. For some reason, after seeing that the white tiger could be injured by a knife, I became confident. The tiger continued to groan in pain after getting two stabs from me in his neck and right eye. The tiger in front of me was floundering in pain. He stood up and prepared to attack me. I pulled out the little knife in my hand.
AAAAAUUMMMM
the tiger roared back as if it wanted to show the remnants of its still incredible strength. But this time I had my courage. All I have in mind is the safety of my husband and son, of course, Riki. The tiger ran towards me. I also ran towards him, and ...
HIAAAAAAAAA
The tiger jumped. I jumped to the side. Maybe because his eyesight was impaired, the tiger could I be fooled. I rolled to the left so that the tiger could not see me because his right eye was already injured. And with a quick movement I went up to his back. The tiger was surprised because I was already on his back. He had not yet knocked me off his back, I had already pierced his left eye with the knife I had brought. Not enough to get there, I pulled the knife back and I used it to slit the tiger's throat back. I rolled to the side, coming down from the tiger's back. I fell to the ground, and the white tiger hit the fence and groaned in pain.
ARRRRRRRRGH
A few seconds later, the white tiger vanished leaving a billowing white smoke.
"Alhamdulillah ..," I cried while taking a deep breath.
I was grateful to have studied martial arts with Arman to a martial arts teacher when we were both still single. At last, I am currently using the martial arts. A few meters next to me, Mas Diki was smiling at me. Maybe he wants to say that he is proud to have a versatile wife like me. Realizing that our mission was complete, we both got up and stood back up. I came to my husband who was in pain in his chest due to the white tiger's claw.
"Mas, what about your wound?" much worry.
"It's okay, Sister. I still hold it strong. By the way, your attrition was great, you know?" he said while tearing his shirt and used to tie his chipped chest.
"Great is also the wound, Mas," I said, holding the wound.
"It's okay, Sister. Let's continue our mission! Looks like we don't have much time left, brother. You hear that voice?" said husband.
I focused my hearing. I heard the sound of crying.
"Is that Nur's voice or Riki's?" I ask in my heart.
