Kriying....!! Kriying....!!


A bell that indicates school is about to begin. Today is Monday as usual, line up for the ceremony, study, rest then go home. But today I want to meet the three of them first. Hani's mother, Feni and Dani. I could forget about something very important but never lyrics at all. Ritual locations!


"Fen, shall we go to Hani's room? Maybe Hani's mom knows about the location where we're going to perform the ritual."


"Okey Jina, the capcus"


"By the way, Dani doesn't exist? I think he's late for the ceremony! But until now he didn't get into class"


"Yes, I tried to chat him, call him, but not lifted"


"Huh....! From last night he was off, let me check the messages I sent last night. Hmmmm.... He has not been active until now! Why is he, Dad? Or do we check later on the cost? Who knows why"


"Yes I agree"


"Yin....!! Feni.....!! You guys making a fuss behind r?! Want to change the father above to tell a story?!" Ow hell! We were caught telling stories in the back by our teacher, until we were rebuked!.


"No sir.... Sorry, we're not making any more noise" I said to calm him down so we wouldn't be expelled from class.


Kriying....!!


The break hour arrived, we both went straight to Mother Hani's room to meet her. Eitss, but I was thinking about how we'd fill our stomachs in the cafeteria, so we could focus later. So Feni and I took a turn for the cantin to eat.

"Assalamu'alaikum, excuse me." The teacher's room looked quiet, the teachers might be resting as well. When we wanted to go back to class, Hani's mother's voice was screaming from behind us.


"Jina.... Feni...., here go inside, there's something I need to tell you both!" Hani's mother pulled us both to her desk looking back, as if there was something secret she wanted to convey.


"You two, uh....! Dani where?"


"From last night whatsapp is not active mom" I said


"I also sent a chat to him, but he was not active mom" Feni added.


"Yeah, you'll just have to tell him. Look, I met Nana's mom yesterday. He called his mother to his house to talk about the three of you, mother was immediately shocked to hear that, because Nana's mother Parakang who had been chasing you at that time. I'm also sure it's him, because the scratches on Parakang's chest are the same as Nana's mother!"


"So, did you go to Nana's mother's house?" Ask Feni


"Of course you have to go, inevitably, because you want to be sure about what she wants to talk about"


"Then what did Nana's mother say to Mom?" Askaqua.


"It turns out, we all misunderstood. Nana's mother is not her Parakang, when she calls Jina to meet, she wants to explain the ritual in the book. But before you could meet, he was attacked by Parakang who was also chasing you. His leg was severely injured due to being scratched in the calf and thighs. Because of this, he did not go to school for a week. Which makes the mother even more suspicious of him because, the reason he used to ask permission to the principal that he returned home for a week, which turned out he did to treat his injuries as well as take the talisman"


"That means Parakang is still out there?" I asked as my anxiety grew, we guessed wrong. So who exactly is Parakang?! Why is he attacking people who want to help me?!.


"Yes Jina, you have to be careful. How many heirlooms do you want to find left?"


"There are two, Bodo Shirt and also Incense" I said to answer Mother Hani's question.


"Mother Nana told the mother about a riddle about the location of the Bugis ritual site in the past, where they were to make offerings and also the fall of humans after the collapse of the kingdom."


"Where's the clue?!" Again Feni's shrill voice sounded right beside me.


"You remember the first time you went to the cave where you took the Book of Breasts? And that big tree you got Saloko from?"


We both spontaneously answered together "Yes ma'am, we remember!"


"You try to articulate one word at a time there and find the purpose behind it! I can't accompany you to look for clues, but I'll give you an amulet that you need to wear when looking for clues" Hani's mother then took out a plant that the Bugis people used to call a panini' or bangle plant.


"Panini' I've given a spell so that you are no longer pursued by the Parakang. Tomorrow's Tuesday, your parents are home?"


"Our parents are out of town right now but, my mom...." I suddenly remembered the story of my mother who said that princess I'Apaliaq had a sister.


"Why Jina?" Ask Feni while holding my shoulder. I looked him in the eye and gave him the code, the code that made him aware of the story I told him last night. Then Feni nodded


"There's something I want to tell mom, is it true that princess I'Apaliaq has no brothers at all?"


"No, he was only the only child of the couple of the king of Batara Guru and also Queen I Nyiliq"


"You? You're the great-grandson of princess I Lontara?" Hani's mother then lowered her body to the level of my face. He then rubbed my hair and said


"Mother still remembers that time, she was hidden by I Timoq before she hid her child first. Princess I' Apaliaq then told me that I must not tell anyone that princess I Lontara is still alive! So that he is not sought by Gayatri and then cast a curse spell on him. I followed my master's words, I was silent for thousands of years after, even so I wanted to keep my mouth shut, mother did not find out the whereabouts of daughter I Lontara after the incident, he said, and it turned out that one of his descendants was standing before me at the moment" It turned out to be true, could this be the reason that I could see a flashback back then? Like mommy?.


"The book also says of the seventh descendant to be made an offering by the goddess Gayatri! You know about that?"


"Huh....!! I don't know about it at all, I just know, about Feni who turns out to be a descendant of I Timoq which means Sam too. Maybe Sam was kidnapped by Gayatri for reasons like you said?"


"Okay, so we've found motives and instructions to find the location of the ritual later. Maybe also the location of the Bodo Shirt and Incense we are looking for" said Feni.


"Then you go home first, tomorrow's Tuesday right? You can take a vacation first, so that the mother who takes care of the license of the three of you, you focus on getting every clue that you said earlier. You are now willing to enter the final period of the second semester, mother is busy inputting your grades"


"If so we both go first, ma'am" said Feni continued to kiss Hani's mother's hand, as well as me.

Krii.......!! Krii.......!! Krii........!!


The bell rang three times, indicating school was over. Children in droves to pick up their motorbikes and cars in the parking lot, today Feni brought a car to school just in case the season is unstable, sometimes the rain is sometimes hot.


"Come on Jina, let's stop by the tree and keep looking for the words you saw that day, and then quickly leave. If we've got the picture we go to Dani's boarding house" We both go to the location we took Saloko.


"The day is getting darker, usually the road here is already quiet. There are no more people passing by" Feni said, looking to the right and to the left.


"Stop Fen!!" We got to where we found Saloko. I got out of the car and started looking for the words I saw that day.


"Duck Jina, I've been scared here for a long time" I tried to find where it was, but I couldn't find it.


"Just yesterday's feeling was here, why did it suddenly disappear?"


"Then anyway? Let me see" Feni got out of the car and tried to help me figure out where it was.


"Where the hell is Jina, isn't there a yah?"


"Yes, the feeling yesterday was right here Fen" When we were busy looking, Feni's car suddenly rang


"Eh.....!! Why car?" I started to feel something was wrong. I'm looking for the writing so I can quickly get out of here.


"Feni!! You get in the car and check what it is"


"Huh....?! You told me to fuck?! I'm afraid of Jina"


"Don't be Fen, you have to go there and try to open the car door, so that later after I get the writing, we can quickly get out of here!"


"Judah, I'm going to open the car door" Feni ran towards the car. I continued to look for where it was, but just the same, I couldn't get it.


"Jina.......!!!!! " It was the sound of Feni screaming from the direction of the car "The parade is Jina....!!! He is here, you be careful!!! I saw him running towards the back of the car towards your place"


The condition is already crisp, the ditch appears again. "Feni!! Quickly put on the amulet that Hani's mother gave me" I quickly put on the panini talisman given by Hani's mother.


With a state of panic, suddenly there was a growling sound behind my head. I slowly turned my head back, it turned out that it was Parakang who was already standing facing me.


"Melo ko aga?!!"


(What do you want?) I asked while yelling at him, I'm sick of being followed by this creature. But he just stood there. Staring at me and staring at Feni's car.


Quickly without me noticing, he ran quickly towards Feni's car. "Study....!!! Close the door of your car quickly!"


"But how are you Jina?!!!"


"Close it fast Fen....!!!" Feni quickly closed the car door before Parakang got there. I saw him claw Feni's car from all directions. Where is that writing actually?! Why at this moment did you not appear?!.


That's where you look!. I don't know why it moved into the middle of this tree hole. I immediately rushed to take a photo and ran towards the car!


By the time I got there, Parakang was no longer there. "Ha, ha, huuu...."


"Have you got a picture?"


"Udah, let's get to Dani's boarding house"
