MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
EPISODE 39
Again, Mas Diki was holding me back from being rash in stepping. While in front of me, Clara looked angry and slapped the fat-bodied old man.
THE PLAQUE!
"Why did you slap me, Gorgeous? You know, don't you, if you dare to fight me?" the old man said in an angry tone and within seconds, Clara was already inside the old man's arms.
"J-j-don't k-k-you k-k-victimize that boy, Pa!" clara said stammering with fear.
"How dare you get in the way of my wishes, Sweetie!" replied the man in an angry tone while tightening his clasps on the young lady's neck.
"D-d-he's-it's like my own son, Pa. T-please w-don't you hurt that kid, Pa!" clara said pleading.
"Heaaaam!!! Do not dispute all my wishes! Shouldn't you thank me because I didn't sacrifice Riki, your son!" Clara's husband snapped loudly.
"T-t-but, Pa-" Clara is still trying to express her wishes.
"You are stubborn! If you continue to argue, your favorite child is the one I will sacrifice. Understand??" the man snapped again in a louder voice.
"L-i-iya, Pa! clara replied with a very frightened expression.
"Well, so new is a good wife. Uh uh uh uh uh," said the man with a chuckle.
A moment later, the man released his fishing line on Clara's neck. Clara took a deep breath after escaping from the man's grip.
"Revelation, you protest once again. I don't hesitate anymore to overthrow your son!" Shake the man again.
"Where's my son now, Pa?" ask Clara on the sidelines.
"Later you will know for yourself as soon as the time for the surrender of the collision arrives," the man replied.
"Pa, can't this be stopped. Doesn't Papa already have a lot of treasures?" clara is back.
"Don't I tell you. All of this will end if there are ten small children given as collateral to Mbah Bajol as a substitute for the last fall because you did not get pregnant!" answer the man loudly.
"Why didn't Papa try to marry another woman? Who knows, Papa could have a daughter of that woman to be made into a victim" Clara protested.
"You think I can easily like other women? Are you tired of being my wife? Just anyway. Let me just kill you guys. You should be grateful for what I did. After all, you also enjoy the treasure given by Mbah Bajol I, right?" replied the old man.
"But I want a normal family. Not like this. I'm scared, Pa," said Clara Lirih.
"There you help me find those mounds" replied Clara's foster father.
Clara doesn't say anymore. I know what he was feeling at the time. He doesn't want this to happen to him. But he could not choose the life he wanted. The old man's bond of love has been very strong in his life. All happiness has been taken away from Clara's life.
"I understand your choice, Clara. This is not all your desire. I know, actually you don't want to sacrifice Nur. However, because you are on two equally difficult choices, then you are forced to choose the second option, which is to sacrifice Nur, my son," I said in my heart.
"Mas, let's attack the old man now!" whispered to my husband.
"Don't be rash, brother. We don't know where that man took our son. If we go wrong, maybe we will lose Nur" replied Mas Diki in a whisper.
Clara and her husband seemed unaware of the presence of me and Mas Diki. We both slowly followed the two of them. They both seemed to be entering the house through the kitchen door. The two of us immediately snuggled up against the kitchen wall. We close our ears to the wall to eavesdrop on Clara and her husband's conversation in the kitchen.
"Darling, help me carry a tray of seven-figure flowers and the offerings, huh? We will begin the ritual soon" said Clara's husband.
"Where are you holding Riki and Nur?" ask Clara again.
"You can't wait, honey. I told you later you'd know for yourself" replied Clara's husband.
"Are they both in this house, Pa?" Clara urged her husband.
"Of course not, honey. It's too much trouble if I keep them here. You know not, I had enough trouble catching them both. Especially your neighbor's son, he is difficult for me to control his mind," he replied again.
"You don't have to lie, Pa. Aren't you the one who controlled the two of them so that they could walk alone to this place?" clara protests.
"No, Honey. That kid is different from the other kids I've given everything to. Despite being under the influence of my magic, he still regained his senses and was still able to fight me. It's a good thing that she was a child, so the fight wasn't strong enough for me" replied Clara's husband.
"So, I mean Papa. That nur came here not purely because of Papa's magical influence? But is there a share of the child's own will?" said Clara.
"Yes, Honey. I was also amazed by that," replied her husband.
"Honestly this, Pa. I hope that boy can beat Papa. Let me live free" said Clara.
"Basik you! You think I'm easily defeated? Don't dream you can get away from me. You are destined to be my side forever" replied the old man.
Honestly, I'm sick of hearing that prank. Looks like the man's soul is already affected by the evil demon. All he had in mind were treasures and Clara. The life of another person means nothing to him.
"Pity, Clara, has to live with a man like that. What is the luxury of possessions, if the heart is not happy. Like a bird in a cage, the young girl's life. Guess where that guy hid Riki and Nur, huh?"
I thought hard to guess the whereabouts of my son and his son Clara. If you look at the man's words, the two children are not in this house and he does not want to bother bringing my son to the place of his sacrificial offering.
"Be-be-means, he hid my son in-"
