Opung Tolu's
Demon king and genie

The village looked quiet, only the sound of roosters crowing and breezy breeze. Ms. Mariti noticed the gurgle when her son, only Tolu who seemed very surly. He moved to sit facing back to them, his hands seemed busy holding the branches of the tree.

“Adik, what are you doing?” mardan asked, standing close to him.

“Do not disturb me!” ketus Tolu melengos go.

Tolu's increasingly suspicious behavior. No one knew that he had secretly gone to the foot of the mountain to learn the knowledge of an old man who had a white beard until it passed through his neck.

“Butet, you're too young to get this knowledge. Come back when you were seventeen. But remember if you choose this path then you will be lonely and live life like not breathing the air” said the figure of an old man while rubbing his beard.

Nine years later

Day after day passed with fatigue by the family. Poverty and hardship weigh down the burden of life. Sometimes they do not swallow a fistful of rice in a few days, only water as a connector of thirst and an empty stomach. At the age of Tolu who stepped on sixteen years, appeared the figure of a man named Togar from the opposite island who did nomad with his father. Tolu met the boy while he was drawing water in a well.

“This let me help”ucap Togar.

He noticed the curves of the beautiful facial lines and Tolu's natural assertiveness made him so curious about the village girl.

“What are you looking at ha? Want me to hit?” tolu said with ferocious.

He lifted a large bucket with one hand. His eyes glared as if those eyeball seeds had almost come off.

“Patience, I have no ill intentions or hurt you. Let's make friends” said Togar soft-pitched.

Day by day their closeness seemed to become increasingly familiar. Togar always took the time to help Tolu lift and draw water. He also helped find firewood in the forest and fished fresh fish in the river.

“Togar!” call Tolu.

Togar did not care about Tolu's status. His parents warned him not to approach the girl. He remained unconcerned and faithfully spent the day helping her into the forest.

...----------------...

“Togar! You want to go see the girl? I'll match you with a better woman. His family is very poor. Do you not see, the roof of the hut house will fly if there is a strong wind that blows it” said Mr. Bram.

“No father, I intend to propose to him” replied Togar excitedly.

“You are the son of a rich merchant in this village. I won't approve!” snapped Mr. Bram and hit the table.

Togar refused to take his father's words. He ran to Tolu to his house.

“Tolu! Tolu!” call him at the door.

“You want what you're here for?” ask Mardan while leaving her waist.

“Abang, where is Tolu?” said Togar, looking inside the house.

“Do not disturb my sister, go!” mardan's snarl was very fierce.

“What is this, why is it a storm once” said mother Mariti. His face looked exhausted, he was carrying a hoe on his shoulder. Upon seeing Togar, the woman immediately lowered her hoe and opened her claw hat.

“Assalamualaikum, sorry I interrupted. Let me meet with Tolu” Togar said politely.

“Walaikumsalam, son Togar let's go in.”

Martini allowed him to sit on the mat he had prepared. After he had stored his equipment and delivered a glass of water, frowning he thought again why the richest merchant boy in his village would set foot in his shack house just to find Tolu his daughter.

“What really happened?” mariti Gumam.

“From the afternoon, allow me to pick him up bu” said Togar restlessly.

Without waiting for approval from Mariti, he ran away from his vehicle into the forest.

“Discover once. What if there is a wild animal or you get lost in the forest?” togar stopped running. His breath was breathless while Tolu seemed accustomed to staring at him in the middle of the forest.

“I'm fine” replied Tolu.

Togar withdrew his hand, the woman who was originally cold and cruel was slowly turning into very obedient after Togar managed to conquer his heart. Arriving in front of Tolu's house, from inside the house, Mardan and Ani peeked out from behind the door. They watched Togar clasping Tolu's hand while saying something.

“Swipe a little, I can't hear it!” said Ani.

“Sstthh, don't be noisy. Brother is still monitoring them” Mardan said.

“Hey, hey you guys saw what?” ask Mariti.

After hearing Togar's words, Tolu restlessly couldn't sleep all night. On top of the small bed, Ani and Tolu were just enough to relax.

“Uhuk, uhuk” the sound of Mr. Don's cough is very loud.

“Tolu let's see mr” take Ani.

Inside the room was a crying mother and Mardan, apparently the severe pain Mr. Don was experiencing repeated a second time. Different things are now clearly seen Mr. Don repeatedly coughing up blood. The panicked Mariti asked them to get a glass of warm water and a thicker blanket.

“Father, strong father pak” said Mariti while crying.

“I will try my hardest as possible. I don't know why my feelings were erratic with our last girl. I don't want anything bad to happen to him. We can't give Togar's blessing to Tolu, Mr. Bram certainly doesn't approve of their closeness. All of you should love your mother” sir Don's message.

"Father don't think about it, the important thing is that you should be healed. Hiks, hiks" shrieked Mariti's voice while crying.

Tolu could not bear to watch his father's last moments. He cried towards the forest without caring for Togar's presence coming.

“Tolu wait, where are you going?” ask Togar.

Tolu's run was so loud, on a cloudy day there was a very strong crying sound from inside his house. Togar is worried about deciding to pursue Tolu or seeing the situation inside his house. But, in his mind now was to convince the hearts of Tolu's parents first in order to receive it well.

“Tolu, wait. After meeting with your family, I will soon catch up with you as usual into the forest” Togar muttered.

But, it seems that Togar's pick-up that time will be very different. Tolu decided to head to the foot of the mountain to meet the figure of an old man. Today at the age of seventeen, he wanted to take a promise to the occupants who would grant his request.

“Hahah, you seem to have given up hope!” echoes of terrible sounds around the region of the foot of the mountain.

The huge rock split into two forming a giant, very dark cave. From inside, there was another terrible sound that led him inside.

“Come in, I will grant whatever your request” said the mysterious voice.

Tolu recalled again about a very poor and suffering family, today he really needed money to bring his father for treatment. Without hesitation, Tolu stepped into the cave, ignoring fear or other terrible voices. When he was right in the middle of the cave, suddenly in the corner of the cave there was a burning flame. From the fire came the clumping white smoke turned into the figure of a white-bearded old man with long roots dangling over his right hand.

“I am the inhabitant of the foothills of Mount Candangan, the king and ruler of all demons and jinn of this land. I will give you two requests, but with two conditions you must obey for the rest of your life” said the supernatural man.

“Ya, I will comply with that requirement” Tolu replied.

“First, you must be prepared to lose your loved ones and secondly you must accept eternity even if your body is gone and third, you must be prepared, you have to sacrifice your own blood if you want to attain the science of perfection. Are you ready? If not return” said the occupant.

Tolu felt wrong in his position now. He thought for a moment about all the consequences he would bear after choosing this black path. If he does not get money soon, he will definitely lose his father as well as his mother's condition which every day is getting weaker. His siblings also appeared to be unsteady when standing up again, their bodies trembling as a result of enduring the hunger that was suffered for days.
