METAPHYSICAL WAR
Death Laguna and Alice
Two hours drive from Bandung south to east of Bandung, about thirty minutes away Alice arrived at her house. It was very late, the traffic had already passed twice on the way, not usually. Of course it further adds to his frustration that is already in the crown, usually never stuck like that, he said, his eyes searched for the cause of congestion on the southern and eastern border highways of the city of Bandung from the window of the city transport he was riding, the crowd crowded 7 meters in front of Alice, there seemed to be a consecutive accident, there was a traffic accident, thought.
Arriving home, he saw Grandma Damanik was still busy cleaning the yard of the house that was not too big even though it was noon. Raduma is still asleep because he has had a fever since last night. Arriving at home, Alice did not tell him everything she had experienced in her in-laws' house. He thinks enough has troublesome parents, this time he should not be in the least bit his mother feels sad again, especially after he was long widowed and slammed the bones to support himself.
It was not knowing himself if he burdened his mother again with things he should not have heard. Finally, Alice simply harbored all her grief in her heart until when that night came, an hour after Laguna had just returned home from her work, showering and eating dinner. Alice pours out all the junk in her head on the Laguna, about Yuniar, Samirah and some of the unpleasant events she has experienced.
But Laguna's reaction was beyond Alice's expectations, her husband appearing to favor Samirah and her sisters more. The real attitude is natural because he has not seen all the rottenness of his family. But maybe Laguna's fault is that he replied to Alice's complaint in a high tone and accused Alice of not-nothing so that Alice was ignited by her anger.
“Pak you don't trust me ? “ asked Alice her face looked upset. Several times he rubbed the corners of his eyes that were wet with tears.
“Not not believe, but you do not have a mind that is not the same mother and my sisters, they are good people may not have the intention like that, let alone what do you say ? Try harming ? It can't be !” firmly Laguna.
"That's because you haven't seen the real thing they're like !"
"Enough ! Enough ! If you say that again I'll-"
"Will what ? Will you sprain me ? Please !"
"Airio...!"
PLAQUE !!
The palm of the Laguna's right hand landed quickly on Alice's cheek, he slapped her lustfully. One thing Laguna never did before, he changed but his heart was lying, fortunately Rasta and Raduma did not see the moment because they were in the living room with his grandmother.
He pacing back and forth still upset by the accusations of his wife, Alice looks gloomy holding back tears reluctant to meet face to face with Laguna. Until finally the two did not greet each other and slept back to each other until the morning.
While Raduma in the morning he cried for no reason even though his fever had subsided. His eyes continuously looked at his feet, occasionally to the right and to the left like following something.
“Cup cup don't cry Son, there's Mom here,“ said Alice calming Raduma in her arms.
Alice tries to take him out of the house, thinking that maybe Raduma is bored in the house. But her son was still crying even harder until Grandma Damanik finally contacted one of the children of his most bontot sister.
“Witarsa, how busy is heunteu ? (Witarsa, busy no more?) “ greet Grandma Damanik on the other end of the phone.
Witarsa, son of Tungga Dewi sister of Grandma Damanik. 3 years younger than Grandma Damanik who is 52 years old. While Witarsa is a 24-year-old with black skin but sweet to look at, those closest to him say he looks more like his mother than his father. Since the age of 11 years he has been able to see invisible creatures, in contrast to children in general he does not look afraid when he first saw what others can not see.
Time goes on until his abilities increase but people other than his family no one knows that he has the ability beyond reason, in order to avoid the stamp of shaman from the lay community.
That afternoon Witarsa came to Grandma Damanik's house using a tiger motor, according to the request of Grandma Damanik who invited him because he was suspicious of the condition of his granddaughter. While Raduma sometimes cries sometimes not.
“Wit, this is Raduma kok cry right from the morning why, yes ?“ Grandma Damanik begins the story. “When the fever has subsided, malem said the doctor no serious illness just fever aja.”
“Hmm this mah again dikrubuti jin, Uwa Damanik,” said Witarsa relaxed. “That creature is still there, there are four instead.”
Witarsa was silent for a few moments, like watching or thinking something. Grandma Damanik looks anxious and shudder as well as Alice who has not yet recovered from her sadness now she is hit again by new problems. The atmosphere of the house becomes a little more horror when it is still morning especially indeed the house of Grandma Damanik facing south so that the sunlight does not enter the house, plus the neighboring house is higher than the house of Grandma Damanik increasingly make the residence shady outside but dark inside.
While the four figures that Witarsa saw near Raduma little still circled around Witarsa, Grandma Damanik and Alice. Since Witarsa came the fourth expression changed completely, who had been laughing with a strange grin while touching and tickling the soles of Raduma's feet with sharp nails, now became looking full of anger sign of dislike.
Their bodies are blackish, the smell of earth comberan, thin bent with hands longer than human hands until when they stand their fingers can touch the floor. Drops of blood dripped down the floor from the sharp fingernail tips of both of their arms.
A sinister face with long hair unraveled and bulging eyes emitted an orange glow. Witarsa seemed not to be intimidated by the appearance of the four astral beings who were close to him, naturally, it was because he had seen something more sinister than he now saw.
“Who are you ?“ ask one of the genies surrounding Witarsa, like the leader of the four jinns. “You're interrupting us.”
“I Witarsa, I haven't even moved a bit.“
Witarsa smiled calmly at the reaction of the four astral beings that he had measured his energy level, that was why he did not feel threatened at all. Communication between them occurred through telepathy, Witarsa deliberately answered the genie's questions by telepathy for fear of adding to the fear of Grandma Damanik, Alice, Raduma and Rasta who had just woke up to his mother.
“Why are you bothering this child ? “ ask Witarsa finally start serious.
“I just love it, this boy is special,” replied one of the jinn with a hoarse and heavy tone slowly whispering in Witarsa's ear. “Go from home this young man.”.
“Don't try to threaten me, otherwise, I flatten you guys with the ground,“ firmly Witarsa suddenly his body released energy that presses to four jin so that it moves away from the position of Witarsa. “I'll let you live if you leave this place but if you bother this kid again, I'll find you wherever you hide.“
Hearing the threat of Witarsa who did not playfully guts four genies began to shrink. The four jinns finally decided to retreat slowly until they finally went to the northeast of Sancang because they were afraid of the energy of Vitarsa which was already at the same level as the battalion leader in the jinn war forces.
Little Raduma began to stop crying and her eyes calmed down slowly falling asleep in Alice's arms drugged by the tiredness that had come her way.
“Jinnya has gone Uwa, now Raduma is safe, ga nothing,” said Witarsa.
“Iya, haturnuhun Wit yes, have been willing to come all the way here,” replied Granny Damanik.
“But it won't come again, right ?” Alice was still worried.
“Gak Alice Tea, I have made a kind of protective wall on Raduma's body. But yes.it only lasts a few years, the name is also the energy will eventually fade as well. Please take care of Raduma, I want to see him when he grows up.”
Alice was silent to the last sentence of Witarsa, as Witarsa's footsteps were quiet to go home. He did decide not to linger in Grandma Damanik's house, there are affairs that forced him to move back immediately.
"It seems too late." Inner Witarsa.
He then took a touchscreen phone in his jacket pocket and typed in a short message.
"Wait for me at one noon Kaganga."
