Mustika Serpent's Skeleton
Skewers Mounting

The dreet! drett!

My laughter shook a few times, I checked the notification, it turned out to be a WhatsApp message from Yosi.

[Rafe, are you asleep?]

[You sleep, what's up?] I asked back.

[I just want to remind you, you're a new kid, yeah. So don't try to tease her, what else think it could have her. Understand you?]

[Ciyeee .. You envy, huh? Mr. Qenan came straight to me this afternoon] I replied and did not forget to attach the emoticons laughing and mocking.

[Beshit!] reply Yosi ended the conversation via whatsApp.

I was blown away thinking about the behavior of the Yosi who was so afraid of losing his clan man. I admit she is beautiful, but her appetite is very high, making her body not as sexy as I am. Naturally Qenan did not glance at him. Even so, I am still pessimistic if I only pursue her love with my bare hands.

I re-imagine the plan that has been carefully arranged. Successful or not, the first effort will not hurt. I am beautiful, even if later Qenan can not be owned, there are still rich men who can be hunted, for the sake of comfort in life, to be a second wife even I jabani.

Sunday morning I left for Mbah Sugiono's house, by bus, by motorcycle taxi, and on the trail. I thought it would be easy to reach the destination, it turned out that after this small and narrow road was passed, I had to crawl up to Mbah Sugiono's house located on the hills.

"Damn! I guess the road is not this drag, where use high heel again," I grumbled while opening my sandals, then walked barefoot.

Little thorns began to touch the soles of my feet, little by little blood flowed, not too much, just as big as a mosquito bite. However, the pain still feels.

From a distance I have seen a hut that is roofed with rumbia leaves. That's the only house on this hill. As I walked closer, from behind the trees I listened to a voice like a whisper.

"Don't do the same thing, you'll regret it." I ignored the voice, then continued to walk closer to Mbah Sugiono's house.

Suddenly a faceless creature blocked the journey, claiming that she was my mother. Cold sweat began to seep from every pore, the heartbeat became more irregular, I almost fainted in that place. However, Mbah Sugiono out of nowhere came, already standing right beside me.

"Astagfirefull!" I cried, because I was more surprised to see Mbah Sugiono who came suddenly. His hair was thick, moustached, his front teeth were black, and one eye was covered with cloth, just like a pirate.

"Don't delay the time" whispered Mbah Sugiono. Without asking anything even though it was a bit surprising, I immediately followed Mbah Sugiono to his house that seemed haunted and a little seedy.

"Emh, look, Mbah. Me ...”

"Yes, I already know what purpose you came here for," Mbah Sugiono cut my words, chuckling around his mustache.

Inwardly began to admire the prowess of Mbah Sugiono. I have not yet fully expressed my intention, he has first answered all the complaints that stuck in his heart.

"What are the terms, Mbah?" ask after a few moments of silence.

"The terms are easy, really. You should come here every full moon appears," replied Mbah Sugiono flatly.

"That's it, Mbah?"

"Hehehe .. not yet .. not yet, that's just the first condition. When you come at full moon, you have to bring a pair of cemani chickens to Raden Naga Purwa dinner" explained Mbah Sugiono who had started preparing to burn incense.

"Any more, Mbah?" I ask a little urgently.

"Ooo .. There is dong, I hope you do not reject the latter's terms, because this is the only one getting Raden Naga Purwa mustika," explained Mbah Sugiono again.

"That means now I can't put that stack up, Mbah?" Again I asked to be sure, what terms I will meet after this.

"Good, Mbah. I-i understand. Anything else, Mbah?" ask me while smiling knots, because I feel happy with the terms that are so easy I thought.

"Hehehe .. don't be happy just yet, Beautiful!" mbah Sugiono exclaimed a little loudly and he looked at me sharply.

Suddenly my feelings turned bad. Heart rate is starting to irregular. The noise behind the black curtain made me shudder.

"Not to be afraid, this last condition you do not need to do now," Mbah Sugiono reassured me.

"Yes, what's the condition, Mbah?"

"Patience, you don't need that kind of emotion,"

"Yes, Mbah," I said trying to calm myself from the fear of being mingled with cob.

"Every full moon, you have to serve Raden, like a wife's duty to her husband."

The deg!

Hearing the narration from Mbah Sugiono, I immediately went limp, a sudden dilemma permeated my soul. Thoughts become chaotic, not knowing what else to say.

"If you can't do that, better say it now. If the first stack is installed, you can not run away from the agreement that has been patched," said Mbah Sugiono disperse my daydreams.

I fell silent again, my brain and heart began to discuss. The last answer that came out of my mouth was "Yes"

I agreed to the agreement, love and wanting to live in a treasure trove made myself blind, I don't think anymore what risks I will face in the future.

While muttering the mouth of Mbah Sugiono reciting the spell, my eyes wildly looked in all directions. The wind began to blow loudly, the sound of friction from the bamboo stems caused an irregular rhythm. Suddenly the sound of lightning roared in the sky, adding to the mystical impression that occurred this afternoon. Maybe God is reprimanding nature and its contents.

Twoar! Twoar!

Suddenly I was swept to the right side, because I felt a tremendous shock.

"Here, please come closer here," said Mbah Sugiono, he held out a small purple stone.

I also shuffled like a man walking on both knees. Then slightly lowered his head after getting the cue from Mbah Sugiono.

"Who's your target?" Mbah Sugiono looked at my face.

"Qenan, Mbah," I said slowly.

"Who?" Mbah Sugiono repeated the question, perhaps he did not hear the name Qenan clearly.

"Qenan."

"Oh, that young businessman, huh?" tanya Mbah Sugiono guessed.

"That's right, Mbah," I replied a little timidly.

"You don't have to worry, a lot of people come here. There are young wives who want an old wife eliminated, there are traders who ask for a seller, just sort of. You're not the only one who came." Mbah Sugiono laughed again, the smell of his mouth out in the air, making me a little nauseous.

I smiled for a moment, dirty thoughts began to break in the brain. Slightly goosebumps imagined the fine hairs on Qenan's chest that I could soon touch.
