Mustika Serpent's Skeleton
Ritualized

"Not him either. From the beginning he did like you, but your ambition is too strong, to go down a path like this."

"Don't talk, deh. I need help, not to be lectured. It's not even suitable for the lecture, either" I sneered.

"So bad your mouth!" Mbah Sugiono looks furious.

"Yes, there's-there's a Mbah, anyway. Never mind, I'm gonna take a break."

"Do you not want to know the way out?" Listening to Mbah Sugiono's words, I immediately got up again from the bed, then approached him in the corner of the window.

"What, Mbah? Whatever it is, I will definitely do, as long as Qenan can marry me."

"I'll just show you how to cut ties with Raden."

"Owh. If it breaks up, does Qenan still love me and look at me as the most beautiful woman?"

"Of course, because your lover loves not because of the susuk, but purely because of the attraction. And I also didn't expect that your lover had an antidote."

The deg!

My heart rate suddenly stopped for a moment. The mind is back in chaos. Could it be that Qenan knew that I was using him? Uh! In the heart begins to fret.

"Calm down, he doesn't know, really," said Mbah Sugiono, twisting his mustache.

"Yes, Mbah," I replied slowly.

"Tomorrow please meet Nyai Keling."

"Buy cemani chicken again?" My forehead frowned, slightly narrowing my eyes to interpret the statement of this shaman.

"No. Nyai Keling's job is to break the relationship between humans and the inhabitants of the softened nature," explained Mbah Sugiono made me understand a little.

"Good, Mbah. Thank you for all the help," I ended the conversation.

The kreeeng!

Like the sound of a cutting board falling to the floor in front of the door. Suddenly I was surprised, as well as Mbah Sugiono.

"Wire, Mbah. Bik Mih eavesdropping." My heart rate is no less fast than the roar of hunting breath. Thinking that Bik Imah will report to Qenan, his employer.

"Where is this, Mbah?" I began to tremble, thinking that it would be my last day in this house.

"Ihappily!" Mbah Sugiono seemed to find a brilliant idea.

"What coincidence, Mbah?"

"Udah, don't talk much. Come with me!" mbah Sugiono shouted while dragging me out of the room.

"What are we going to do?" I was suspicious and scared.

"Search for knives or other kitchen utensils. Hurry along!" the Mbah Sugiono's.

My legs were trembling more and more, swiftly, Mbah Sugiono snatched the machete from my hand.

Areeeeg!!

"Yetoooo!" I shouted hysterically, while staring at Mbah Sugiono who was covered in blood.

Bik Imah's head bounced to the floor, then rolled and stopped right at my feet. His eyes were glaring, which made me even more hysterical.

"Shut up!" snapped Mbah Sugiono while smothering my mouth. His hands were covered in blood, making me nauseous when I hit my nose.

Wuigeek!

"Quick clean up all that blood splash, before your lover finds out." I will bring Bik Imah to Nyai Keling's house," continued Mbah Sugiono.

"I-iya, Mbah," I said stammeringly

All my bones felt falling out, if followed by the word heart, want to feel like throwing this body on the floor so trembling and weak.

Mbah Sugiono immediately picked up Bik Imah's head, without feeling amused and afraid on his face and then he disappeared. But naturally, the magician had long mingled with the soft guys, of course he would never be afraid of just killing someone's life and carrying the corpse casually.

The night was getting late, the vehicle had started to quiet. I walked while looking for an ojek. Luckily on my side, there was still an ojek at the base not far from the elite housing complex.

"Ojek, Bang," I said to the taxi driver who was engrossed in playing his phone.

"Where are the nights like this, Neng?" ask him while watching me from head to toe.

"To the brother's house, Bang. I got a call from Bibik, he said my aunt has a fever," I answered lying.

"OK, Neng. Cuuss .." he said a little joking.

Fifteen minutes later, I accidentally laid off the motorcycle taxi driver, at the intersection. Because I'm still on guard, in case something happens later.

"Duh! Where is far away." I continued to travel on foot, the streets were so quiet, the street lights were sometimes dead.

If I meet a ghost or other astral creature, I can ask for help with Mbah Sugiono, but, if suddenly there are drunken thugs, how?

"Oh no!" I murmured slowly, while continuing to glance left and right.

Sure enough my guess, two burly men who smelled of alcohol, stood in front of me. They kept approaching while walking staggering.

"What do you want?" many fear.

"Hey! That's always the words that women say when they're confronted by handsome men like us. There's no other word, is there?" ask one of those thugs who scares me even more.

The wusss! The wuuss!

Suddenly it sounded like the sound of wind sweeping through the leaves. One blink of an eye, I was already in the room. Nyai Keling's House?

"You're so slow!" mbah Sugiono shouted and followed by the sound of Nyai Keling's crisp laughter.

"Sorry, Mbah. I was ...."

"Of course, not a lot of drama. Hurry up and get that bucket!" mbah Sugiono's orders cut off my conversation.

I walked over to the offering table, then picked up the black bucket. In the bucket it contained something. It is shaped like a human heart. I shudder and nauseous.

"Quick! The ritual is about to begin." I gasped, from earlier Mbah Sugiono always raised his voice, while the heartbeat was not yet stable plus saw something that was still moving in the bucket.

"Onsun intention .... " Mbah Sugiono began to recite the mantra. I use language I don't understand at all. After five minutes of waiting, the matra reading was over.

Weepy! Weepy! Chew!

Mbah Sugiono spat on the bucket containing the heart of Bik Imah, three times, he took a slow massage, then picked it up and thrust it in front of me.

"What's this for, Mbah?" ask me while covering my mouth and nose because it resists nausea.

"Apply to the face six times, then bite the tip, swallow," explained Mbah Sugiono while pointing at the bottom of the heart.

Not finished Mbah Sugiono gave a cue, my vomit was scattered on the floor.

"Sir, this is how you want to complete the ritual!" he patted the jidat a few times.

"Sorry, Mbah. I can't. The oath!" slowly say.

"Hey, give him medicine." Mbah Sugiono told Nyai Keling while giving the code linking his thumb and index finger. I don't know, I don't know what they mean, which is obvious, after I drank the potion from the small bottle given by Nyai Keling, the nausea and disgust disappeared.

Nyap! Nyap! Nyap!

"That's enough, don't spend it all. Leave it for Nyai Keling's cemani chicken."

Mbah Sugiono snatched Bik Imah's heart from my hand. However, hunger is unabated from the desire to devour the heart until it runs out. Eventually, it became interesting for a while.

The first ritual is complete, the last ritual is the process of separation between me and Raden. Had been hampered, because it turns out Raden did not want to be separated, with the reason he loves me.
