METAPHYSICAL WAR
The death of Laguna and Alice.
The death of Laguna and Alice.
Die.
Someone shouted very loudly to see a body lying lifeless at dawn when the air temperature was still very cold to bone. The woman repeated the word dead, there are dead people. As soon as the door opened, the lights flashed and the footsteps rushed to hunt down the origin of the voice that invited questions..
The people crowded around Tobias' body, looking at him with pity and unanswered questions, because did he die ? Police arrived with the ambulance thirty minutes later, picked up and took him to the hospital for further examination by a forensic doctor.
News of the body of the man who died last night spread from mouth to mouth, including to Siska's ears as she was about to leave for work, gates opened, motorcycles out of her nest, and a car, two people talk to each other waiting for the porridge seller's hand to finish preparing an order that every morning is often held in front of Siska's house.
“Eh, night someone died huh ?” asked a fat man while sitting leisurely while his two eyes read the newspaper.
“Iya, it was near the patrol post he found too, dawn, fitting people want to go to the mosque,“ reply men in ash jackets, stand in line patiently.
“Turned why said ?”
“Lack of knowing, sir, like a heart attack?“ said speculating.
“Ah time ? Denger-denger is young, right?”
“Iya anyway, but there are no signs of persecution sir, There is only something strange if I think mah.”
“Any what?“
“Cctv Mr. Arlan the night burned.“
“Pak Arlan bank clerk it?“
“Iya it.”
“Ah it may be a coincidence, what does it have to do with cctv burning ?”
“Yes anyone knows there is a link to it.”
The conversation of the two caught Siska's attention, he had turned to ask but the clock in his hand showed at 07:00 pas. The matic motor breezed smoothly down the winding asphalt road.478 meters from the house, then he found a large highway, which was, shophouses lined up and the atmosphere that was crowded was not like the streets around his house, deserted.
That morning, he drove the bike at high speed, sometimes the women were more 'crazy' than the men in driving the vehicle on the highway. Like having 9 lives, lustfully sneaking between metal cracks (cars) that run just as fast. Unhindered, Siska arrived at the office at exactly 08:00, before she finally learned of a shocking news.
“Tobi don't get in san?“ siska asks Susan, an office friend whose desk is next to Tobias's.
“You haven't read my message this morning ?” susan answered her eyes sparkling, raucous.
Seeing Susan who was holding back tears, Siska began to suspect, kissing unusual gurgles, her heart began to think, lest ?
“What's san ? Don't scare me..” urges Siska to weep.
His two hands firmly gripped Susan's shoulders while Susan bowed and turned her face to the side while covering her trembling mouth.
Siska began to fidget, very agitated because her best friend was still reluctant to speak, more precisely unable to speak because of the sadness that was too high, just crying continuously from now on.
“Tobi died Sis, I also have condolences, his mother just told the head of shift,“ said Jendi suddenly put her palm on Siska's shoulder. The man in round glasses who actually secretly put his heart on Siska.
“What ?“ Siska immediately cried as it happened. His body was pushed back, hit a shelf of cabinets containing company documents and then sat limp.
The servants who had just come over immediately, tried to calm the alarming Siska down. Some do not know, some already know the news of Tobi's death. Siska who was mentally not too strong in the end fainted and was taken to the break room accompanied by Susan and Jendi.
"Yes, sir, we'll have Siska in my car first."
So the two were helped by several other employees carrying Siska's limp body to a black sedan car parked in the company's courtyard. His body was placed in the back seat and the gas pedal was pressed to bring him home.
While at Tobi's house, the crowd is crowded, Mr rt, Ms Santy and including Raduma who looks very devastated by Tobi's death, how not ? After the successive deaths of his family, he must now also lose his only friend whom he trusts. Stress ! That's what he experienced, he was fed up with all this, could not stand the sadness that always came. Raduma who was originally wise turned into very aggressive and wild-minded, especially after he learned an astounding fact.
Facts that changed the course of his life, facts that sparked the flames of vengeance in his heart. Facts about the Death of Laguna and Alice, her father and mother in the past, dawn of the day when she awoke from a short sleep. Raduma decides to re-use his eyeball skills by looking back in time, tracing the history of his parents' deaths.
The old grandfather's words did disturb his mind a little, his instincts said that there was something wrong with the deaths of Father and Mother. Shortly after taking a deep breath, the visualization of how his Father and Mother dealt with the Jinn began to look.
The story begins 21 years ago, when Laguna was still working in a rubber company as a section chief. At that time, the company was in a golden period unlike today, bankrupt and many employees in PHK. Laguna has 3 siblings, two boys and one girl. Although there are actually rumors circulating among the internal family that Laguna is not the son of Atmadja, the father of Laguna (grandfather of Raduma).
One of her younger siblings, 28-year-old Yuniar, was in a difficult time after being divorced by her husband because of his very bad nature, his tongue was sharp, far from religion.
One day, she is confused to support her two children daily, her ex-husband reluctantly meets her two children, lost without news, run from responsibility. as a result he intends to ask for material assistance from Laguna, whenever he asks, Laguna always gives. But the help actually makes it more complacent and always depend on Laguna, while Laguna itself has a family to be endowed.
Conflict arises between Yuniar and Alice , as Laguna's wife, Alice who feels uncomfortable and disturbed by the attitude of Yuniar and her sister who are excessive and only think about their own interests.
“Sorry yes Yuni tea, I and Laguna will already have two children, so I beg you not to ask for money every month, because we also have needs that must be met, he said,” said Alice as much as possible to speak polite because after all Yuniar is the sister of her husband.
“Do not be stingy Alice, you want to hold the Laguna salary alone ? You want Laguna to just follow you ? So ? Heh, don't forget yes, I am his sister !” Juniar yelled at Alice who was not-no, turning the facts upside down. The truth is that Yuniar and his sisters want to drain the money of Laguna, using it like a dairy cow.
Because they know that Laguna is not the original older brother but the son of Atmadja's first wife who somehow they can separate and unknown existence. One news said that the mother of Laguna had died while another news said that the original mother of Laguna was still there and was in central bandung.
Atmadja's wife continued to incite Yuniar and his two younger siblings to continue draining Laguna's money. While Laguna did not know in the slightest that her mother who is now not a real mother. From the time he was a teenager, Laguna was always treated unfairly as drawing water in a well was done by Laguna himself while his three younger siblings linger, the last difference in education level, the last difference, Laguna is only allowed until high school even though the opportunity to continue education when it is open to Laguna, while his two younger brothers must enter college and many more differences in treatment that he received in years. But the treatment did not make Laguna suspicious, he thought that the first child should indeed sacrifice and suffer from his younger siblings.
Until the relationship between Laguna and Alice had heated up because of a dispute about the estrangement of the Alice family and the Laguna family. The night before the bickering took place, Yuniar and his mother traveled south of Bandung, meeting a half-century man known as the white pack.
“Gini sir, my son has a wife, his name is Alice. Ieu awewe brash tea, teu daek nurut ka kahayang abdi nu so mitohana (this lady tuh brash, do not want to obey my wishes as her father-in-law ),“ lamented Samirah, Samirah, wife Atmadja. “Ya...I want you to take care of this child, let it submit or if you can just divorce my son, Laguna.”
“Hmm, so ma'am, yes no problem for me, there are only conditions,“ replied the shaman while tapping the floor tiles with one finger as a habit. His hair was white, perhaps that's why he was called Father white. His body is slightly bent and his head is often leaning to the left like a person who has a stroke or neurological disease.
“What are the terms Sir ?“ Juniar preceded his mother who was about to ask.
“The terms are easy, just need the photo or nails of the Alice, or the hair can also, which is important must be part of the body Alice.”
Both Samirah and Yuniar turned to each other to hear the old shaman's reply, a condition that was easy to think the two of them. Plans and short-sighted plans arise in the mind of Samirah, his hatred of Alice has existed since Laguna and Alice married first.
Initially, the marriage was just politics to target Alice's parents' estate in the form of land but it turned out that the situation was so quickly changed. The 400-hectare land heritage was declared by Damanik's grandmother to one of the religious figures to be made pesantren, at the request of her husband who was written on a piece of paper when he was thrown by bullets from the top of the hill during state duty, getting off the helicopter by rebels of the time.
The rotten plan was messy, making Samirah in the fog, since that day he hated Alice and her children. For him there was no reason to be sweet in front of Alice, even several times he advised Laguna to marry again.
“If the Laguna photo exists ?”
“There sir, I took a moment in the bag,“ replied Samirah his left hand reached into the leather bag beside him taking a photo of Laguna and handing it to Mr. White.
“I accept, means stay photo Alice yes,“ billih White sir.
“Iya Sir, if that's about Saturday we come here again Sir bring the goods in question.“ Samirah said goodbye while giving a white envelope filled with money, not wanting to linger.
“Iya, I wait, if not Saturday is also okay, just relax.“
Samirah got up from his seat followed by Yuniar who was trailing like a donkey, the two eyes of white Pak still continued to watch the backs of the two women stepped home and passed missing behind the door.
