Mustika Serpent's Skeleton
Luxury House as a Gift

The smell of jasmine blossoms poured out in the air, my eyes wildly scattering at every corner of the room, while Qenan was still busy preparing himself. He smiled meaningfully, and his breathing was no longer normal to sound in my eardrum.

"What's wrong?" qenan asked astonished to see me like a man looking for something.

"Eh, anu, the light please turn off," I asked nervously.

"Okay," he answered.

Qenan started to approach again.

My mouth shuts, letting him do what he wants to do. Now there was only the sound of the night animal being heard, occasionally clashing with this pain-bearing groan from my mouth.

Faded is everything, regrets may always be there, but my hope is greater than that. Wishing Qenan really kept her promise, marrying me next month.

"Rafe, don't be afraid." Qenan whispered in my ear. I just nodded not saying a word.

"You're sorry?" ask Qenan again. I just shook my head in a doldrums.

"Why don't you talk, honey?"

"That's okay, honey. I'll take a shower, yeah." Holding her cheeks with both palms, I said.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Qenan said goodbye to his home. Don't forget he kissed my forehead warmly.

"I'll go home first, yeah, baby. I'll see you tomorrow at the office" Qenan said, waving his hand.

"Eh, wait, Yang."

"Yes?"

"Tomorrow I'm on leave, okay?"

"Lho, why?" qenan asked back.

"I'm tired and ...."

"Owh, yes .. I understand." Qenan held my head, then ruffled my hair that had not dried.

Early in the morning I went to look for chicken cemani. Not so difficult, because I have obtained accurate information from Mbah Sugiono.

Arriving at the location, I was immediately greeted by the host, the owner of the chicken cemani.

"Welcome, Miss," said Nyai Keling welcoming me.

Nyai Keling is a close friend of Mbah Sugiono. The two of them are always connected when Mbah Sugiono patients need cemani chickens or help each other in mystical related matters.

"How many women have been fucked by the snake demon" I grumbled in my heart.

"Please enter, Miss," Nyi Keling bargained as she stretched out her right hand.

"Okay, Nyi," I said.

The atmosphere of Nyi Keling house is not much different from Mbah Sugiono house. The temperature in this house feels cold, even though it does not use AC or fans. The smell of incense was strong in my sense of smell. And some human skulls were lined up on the table, like an offering table, complete with a wide variety of flowers and fruits.

"Hehehe .. You wonder, huh?" asked Nyi Keling to surprise me.

"No, Nyi. But if you'll know, it's a real human skull, huh?"

"You think?" asked Nyi Keling staring at me while rubbing her teeth with betel leaves.

"Because I don't know, that's why I asked, Nyi Keling," I said while grinning.

"Here you go, let's go to the back!"

The back yard is so spacious, the chicken coop is neatly arranged, though seedy and smelly. Some banyan trees appear to stand firm around the backyard fence. The roots of the tree are interlocked, some form a bench and chairs.

"Which one do you want, Miss?" asked Nyi Keling while holding a chicken in her hand.

"How much is this, Nyi?"

"One million five hundred."

"Wow, one tail, Nyi?

"Yes, if you have to buy a pair, I'll give you a special price."

"Thank you, Nyai. How many pairs?"

"Take two million and five hundred" said Nyi Keling, showing off her teeth that looked blackish red.

While carrying a sack containing two chickens, I say goodbye to Nyi Keling. However, the human skulls still make me very curious. Until these eyes can not be separated glanced at the offering table, while walking out.

The dreet! The dreet!

My phone shook a few times.

"Hello, Honey. Why is your phone off in the morning?" qenan asked as I picked up the phone from her, arriving at the rented house.

"I fell asleep, honey. Sorry, yes," I lied.

"Yes, last night I was there."

"What do you want, honey?"

"Lho, what's the question?"

Anxious for a moment to think that Qenan to my house again, later he will hear the sound of the chickens. It will certainly arouse suspicion because it is also impossible for me to keep chickens in the house.

"But not for long, yeah. I'm afraid of being caught by the landlord if I put a man in the house" I said, giving a good reason.

"Yes, don't, honey. I'm just going there to pick you up. All right, yeah, don't forget to put all your clothes in the suitcase."

"Where are we going?"

"From tomorrow, my love will stay at home."

"I mean, I bought a house, is that it?"

"Yup, let there be no more hindrance when I meet you" he whispered affectionately.

Listening to the words from Qenan, I almost choked with excitement. However, quickly deal with all that, so as not to impress the matre in his eyes.

"Already, yeah. I want to continue the meeting first," said Qenan hung up the phone.

The night came, I immediately hid the pair of chickens in the kitchen. I wish the chickens wouldn't make a noise until I left this house.

"You guys stay first, yes, tomorrow I pick you up and we go together to Mbah Sugiono's house," I said to the chicken, like a madman.

After berberes, and arrange the suitcases in the living room. Qenan finally arrived.

"It's ready, Yang."

"Here you go" I replied with a smile.

"Authority used to be the same as the owner of the contract, or the rental of some rent has not been paid?" ask Qenan attentively.

"Tomorrow, dear," I answered, dragging a small suitcase containing cosmetic tools and underwear. Two more suitcases were carried by Qenan and put in the trunk of the car.

"Rafe, from tomorrow you don't have to work anymore, do you?"

"Lho, what's that, Yang?"

"Udah .. You just sit sweetly at home, waiting for me to come home from work."

"We want to live together, right?"

"Yes, not yet. I'll stop by your place once in a while, right, darling."

"Owh, that's it."

"Yup," Qenan replied while holding onto my chin.

The car started slowly, then entered through the gate. At first, I thought this gate was the entrance to the elite housing complex. However, after I noticed, there was only one house that stood majestic. The courtyard is spacious, very beautiful with a verdant view. Many trees have been bonsai, and there are many varieties of flowers that are blooming. Is beautiful.

Qenan pulled out his car in front of a large terrace. Long time ago, I couldn't say anything.

Cheekk!

The main door is wide open. If it can be used with door leaves, maybe these eyes are no less open wide. It felt like I was inside the palace, even though I had never been inside. However, the atmosphere of the house and the decoration, exactly with the houses I saw on the television butut, which I deliberately left in rented.

"Do you like it?" ask Qenan.

I was still silent because I was enjoying the gift given by Qenan. I didn't realize that he kept asking questions from now on.

"Hey! Just shut up, honey?" Qenan pushed me slowly, she put one hand on the wall, then looked at me while slowly bringing her face closer to mine.

"Yes, Honey. I like it very much," I said returning the gaze of Qenan's eyes that had begun to shade.
