MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
EPISODE 47: THE DILEMMA

We were both surprised because again the board we were sticking down. Though we were sure, we had not swung ten times. That means, the longer, the more quickly the pqpqn-board blocks.

"Mbak, the plank's foundation is further away from the riverbank. It seems that if this board were to crash again, we would not be able to jump onto the bull anymore" Clara shouted to me.

"Yes, Clara. We have to quickly walk towards the edge before these boards drop down again.

"Yes, Mommy!" answer Clara.

"Come, Clara. I count, huh?" my yelling.

"Yes, Ma'am" the beautiful woman replied.

"Saaaatuuu ...," I shouted.

The two of us stepped together towards the outskirts. I was preparing to take a second step, but suddenly.

BRAAAAC!!!

Clara and I were shocked to hear the sound. At first glance I saw someone's body thrown and rolled onto the axle. The body also hung on the axle of the board.

"Don't that be my husband's body that lost the fight with Mr Handoyo?" I wondered as I watched the body of the man hanging on the axle of the board system.

"You're not happy just yet, because you hit me down, huh? Because I'm not that easy to beat," cried the hanging man who turned out to be Mr. Handoyo.

"Thank God, Mas Diki had managed to hit the man down. I'm sure Mr. Handoko won't be strong enough to hang on like that. Soon the handle will be released and it will be a white crocodile meal down there" I murmured inwardly.

"You know what, Mbah Bajol is abstaining from eating more than one human being in one night? And you know what, your wife's gonna fall down in a second and be the white crocodile's meal? Even if I also fall down, Mbah Bajol will definitely choose to prey on your beautiful wife. Ha ha ha ha ha .." cried Mr. Handoyo while trying to pull a hook on the axle of the board system.

The three of us gasped at what Mr. Handoyo was doing. Apparently he had pulled the hook that was holding the board I was treading. As a result, when my board swings down, can not move up again due to the hook pulled by Mr. Handoyo. And the board I was sticking was hanging down. The white crocodile crawled closer to me. This time I believe the white crocodile can reach me because of the very low position of my board.

"Bak Sintaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!" clara shouted from above. I saw Mas Diki on the top panicking to see me almost being pounced on by a crocodile. I saw Mas Diki trying to go down, but there seemed to be another energy that prevented Mas Diki from coming down. He not only tried 3 times to go down, but again he bounced up. Until he cried because he could not bear to see me who is currently facing one-on-one with a white crocodile.

"Loooooooooooo!" The white crocodile pounced on me. I squinted to the side until he hit an empty spot.

"Defend, Honey. I'll help you!" yelled Mas Diki still did not give up.

"Aaaaaargh!!!" The white crocodile turned around and attacked me again.

"Whoo!" I groaned because my head hit a rock. I held the part of my head that was stung by a stone, it turned out to be fresh blood. After that my eyes twitched and felt very dizzy.

"Mbah Bajooool .. the time has come," cried Mr. Handoyo as he fell down from the river. Maybe his hand is not strong enough to withstand the pain of having to hang on the axle of the board system. Clara seems to have escaped on the bank of the river. He could only watch the show under the river, but could do nothing. Up there was Mas Diki Nur, and Riki who was very worried about my fate.

It is true what Mr. Handoyo said. Although he was closer to Mbah Bajol, in fact he was not attacked by the white crocodile. The crocodile seems to only target me to be used as a mengumbuhan Pak Handoyo.

This time my head really hurt. I couldn't get up in my position because of the extreme dizziness. I could only look at the white crocodile that was creeping towards where I was. Behind him, Mr. Handoyo was laughing complacently.

"This is the end of your fate, Cantiik. Ha ha ha ha ha ..," cried Mr. Handoyo as he chuckled.

The white crocodile is getting closer to me. Mas Diki and the children shouted loudly calling my name from above. I suddenly remembered a round object given by her mother-in-law Clara. Kurogoh my pocket and untunhlah the round thing was there. Just as the crocodile was about to pounce on me, I managed to pull out the round object. Surprisingly, it gave off a very dazzling light to the eyes. Mr. Handoyo was also surprised.

"M-m-mripat b-b-boyo?" pekik Pak Handoyo astonished. The white crocodile in front of me bounced a few meters.

"Loooooooooo!!!" the voice of the white crocodile.

I looked at that round thing shining brightly. I wonder, why the white crocodile can be thrown just by looking at it?

The white crocodile was like frightened to see the light produced by that round object. Up there the moon shone brightly and was right above the three of us, me, the white crocodile, and Mr. Handoyo. Suddenly the white crocodile let out a very loud groan. And, Mr. Handoyo looked very frightened all of a sudden.

"Yahoooooooo!!!!" shouted Mr. Handoyo later. The white crocodile suddenly chased after Mr. Handoyo. Oak Handoyo attempted to escape, but too late, the white crocodile had already pounced on him by now. Mr. Handoyo who had run out of energy was not able to kelit anymore. He tried to fight against the white crocodile, but his strength was too weak. Finally the white crocodile was sadistically torn apart the body of Mr. Handoyo. Pak Handoyo's head was also devoured by the white crocodile. I can't do much because I'm scared too. Finally the life of Mr. Handoyo was exhausted in the hands of his own pesugih. After devouring Mr. Handoyo's body, the crocodile walked away from me. And strangely, the veil blocking Mas Diki was already open. Mas Diki went down to help me, after looking for the hook dropped by Pak Handoyo, Mas Diki threw the hook to Nur who was above. Nur put the hook back on. After that I carried my husband to go up on the board again. Nur, Riki, and Clara climb the rest of the board to balance. After our position was balanced, we also walked simultaneously to the edge of the river. When it was almost to the outskirts, Mas Diki raised me to the edge of the river along with Clara who jumped out. There are three of them on the board. Since then Nur and Riki several times jumped to balance the weight with Mas Diki. Finally, by adjusting the balance, the three of them managed to get out of the board system.

On the edge of the river we all cried because we had escaped the crime of Mr. Handoyo.

Clara seemed devastated by the incident that night. The next morning he and his family decided to move out of town. We let go of them with sadness. Riki gave me the painting. Finally we just found out from them that the little boy who was once billed by Mr. Handoko was Riki's foster brother. The real weight of parting with them, but we also do not want them to be traumatized by the incident.

"You know what, yeah, Clara's there?" I said to that beautiful woman. Yes, that day Clara looked beautiful. They were dressed very well that day. They left the city with a car owned by Mr. Handoyo. They also brought valuable papers left by Mr. Handoyo.

An hour later, I noticed a message coming in at WA. It says "Bu Rini". I immediately opened the message. And how surprised I was when I read it.

Here is a photo of our adopted foster child and her adoptive parents.

On top of the writing, a photo of Riki with Clara and a man I know very well, namely ... Armani.
