CHAPTER 37

I hope that what the mothers I met on the road said was true that Sapto aji is crazy, so it's appropriate that he say things that don't make sense.

But looking at his eyes that were looking at me with hatred and the emotion he seemed to have when he said his wife had been killed by Durgasani made me know, Sapto Aji was right.

"Al please release him," I ordered Aldi who was still curling Sapto Aji's neck.

"But then he tries to harm you again, Langen," Sella said.

"Pleasem" I looked at Aldi who was slowly releasing Sapto Aji.

But I can see that Adit and Aldi remain vigilant about what Sapto Aji will do.

"You can tell me everything? Everything you know about my family" I said in a gentle tone as I could.

Sapto Aji just looked at me with his breathless. A few minutes passed without anyone talking until Sapto Aji finally started telling stories.

"Your family's spirit, Gondokusuma has been sedet by someone. Unusual and very dangerous. Santet seven derives his name. The Santet will kill all Gondokusuma descendants unless the previous offspring willingly die for the offspring to be born" explained Sapto Aji.

We all fell silent while listening to Sapto Aji speak.

"Your grandfather, your great-grandfather and those born before you had to commit suicide so that their son or daughter could live to continue the Gondokusuma family. The balance will stop if it has run out of the derivative to 7. But your father didn't commit suicide and left you and your mother. Therefore your Father is looking for a way to stop the curse of the witchcraft. Then meet him with Durgasani," continued Sapto Aji with a bright look.

"Who is Durgasani?" I asked with a gripping feeling that was present all of a sudden.

"Durgasani is a snake demon who lives in a cave in the forest in the city of Blora. The black magic it has is very strong, so it can break the santet seven derivatives. So your father finally made a pact with him to help him release the curse of witchcraft. But with one condition," said Sapto Aji

"What conditions?" Adit who was just focused on listening also asked.

"The son of Ageng must be willing to be the son of Durgasani, to be handed down his black magic and become his ally."

I felt my feet go weak hearing all that. So you promised Durgasani that I would be given to him. It's not wrong that the snake demon keeps terrorizing me so I want to come with him.

"That color is Wulan, your mother wants to kill you from the moment you're still in her womb because she doesn't want you to become a demon slave like Durgasani. But Ageng forbid it because you will continue the Gondoksuma breed. So Ageng sent your mother to a mental hospital so that she would no longer try to kill you."

"I tried to get your mother out of the mental hospital that time, but failed because Ageng knew. Ageng and I even got into a fight. That was the last time I met Ageng. When I came home from the mental hospital where your mother was being treated, I found my wife dead with her bones crushed like those in a big snake. I'm sure it was Durgasani" Sapto Aji said.

"Then why did you say I was Durgasani?" many sad.

"Because you are a part of Durgasani. From the moment your baby is being sucked in by her," replied Sapto Aji.

"What does it mean?" ask Sella judes.

"The soup was buried. Like the threads that are inserted on the needle, it will be bound to each other . Same with you and Durgasani. I know your Father tried to fortify you with amulets and spells so that Durgasani could not get close to you. But still you are one, wherever you go . Durgasani will always follow you"

I finally understand why everyone close to me is always wretched. Because Durgasani wanted me to be alone like her, so that I would eventually give up and follow her.

"Is there any way I can get away from it?" tanyaku.

"Cut him away," Sapto Aji replied with a hard face.

"How?"

"With yellowing keris, he can be eliminated with yellowing keris," explained Sapto Aji.

Then I also remember the keris that the other day I found in my personal room when I was there with Adit.

"I have the keris, the keris I found in the personal space of the Father first," said I . It felt like there was hope for me to break free from that snake demon. "What is it about that keris that I can actually eliminate?"

But Sapto Aji just flinch not to answer.

Time was approaching when we finally decided to go home. But before coming home Sapto aji whispered something to me. Something that makes me feel like I won't have a chance.
