The next road we will pass is a path that has been covered by tall and thick grass.
Because the night, it was so dark that there was no illumination, the three of us decided to walk down this street.
" It looks like we have to be wary Man, it would be dangerous if we walked without lighting." I complained.
"Gue bring a flashlight, just at home I already nyiapin tools that we will need for this situation. Fortunately I was on standby." said Iman while reaching into his bag, and took out two flashlights.
" Wih, great!" praise me to Faith and take one of her flashlights.
We started walking down this road.
"Ki, where do we go in which direction?" my spoken.
" A moment, the signal given by Aji Saka is not clear" said Ki Jagat.
" Yes, while we go down the road." I said.
" Bah, you're hearing something?" ask Faith suddenly.
" What sound?" ask me again
" The rich sound of gamelan is that, Bah, but vague" said Iman.
" Yes Man, I'm also horrified Kok, Kirain you don't dread eating it I just diem." I said.
"Anom! Lothawat! The signal from Aji Saka disappeared, It looks like Aki has to go to find her own way to the klewing place, the signal from Aji saka is covering, I also have to check it, Remember! sharpen your inner eye sight! Do not let you be hypnotized by the illusions of the inhabitants of this forest, especially your friend, keep him awake." added Ki Jagat.
" Good Ki." I replied.
The universe has disappeared.
Iman and Iman continue the journey without Ki Jagat.
The more we walked, the more clearly the gamelan was heard, and in front of us came a bright light, and we saw a puppet performance.
" Kok, there's a puppet show here anyway? Is it possible that we entered a remote village within the forest?" exciting Faith.
I also feel astonished.
This puppet show looks different, indeed many residents who watch it, boisterous crowded, but Strange, their mouths are actually tightly closed, their gazes are also blankly staring at the puppet stage.
The puppet statue also moves on its own and dialogues without any mastermind moving it. In fact, gamelan and musical instruments sound without anyone playing them.
We were both silent for a moment, because of the confusion of looking for a way, the road that we should have passed was covered because of this performance.
Suddenly someone greeted us, someone patted Faith's shoulder from behind.
"Bade Jang's room?( where are you going, Aden?)" ask an old man wearing a black leather jacket.
"Eh aki, we are Bade ka hiji place, but lost nyasab kadie (we want to go somewhere, but instead get lost here.)" said Iman replied.
" Bade kamana is it? (where are you going?)" ask the grandfather.
" We're tea Bade ka kle place...
" Bade ka ka kampung padamalan (want to the village inland)." I said langsunh cut Iman speaking. Danger if Faith tells us where we are going. I had to interrupt.
Hearing me interrupt, the instant the old man's gaze changed towards me, he looked at me sharply with a very unfriendly look on his face.
" Tos we didie hela, lalajo wayang bari ngopi (just here first, watching the puppet while coffee)" persuaded the grandfather with a change of face, smiling kindly at the faith.
" Hayu, ngiring jeung aki, urang meser suuk ka palih pendir (let's go with grandfather, we buy beans over there)" invited the grandfather to suddenly pull the hand of Faith.
" Not Man!" I said.
" Why bah, if I want to find food, I laper" replied Iman who was led by the grandfather.
Instantly I remembered the words Ki jagat to sharpen the inner eye.
Because my original gaze was already hypnotized by the illusion, so I saw with my eyes closed.
I also saw the real situation.
I saw myself in the middle of a large and vast old tomb. And I was among the pack of pocongs.
From the pocong of small children to adults there, they huddle facing a bamboo tree that is nothing but a bamboo tree that is a puppet show stage.
And I focused on seeing Faith. He was being led by a genderuwo figure who was picking guava trees.
" Astagfirullah!" I said while opening my eyes, my vision returned to the atmosphere of the performance earlier.
I immediately ran to Faith.
" Levil let's get out of here!" I said to pull Faith's hand away from the old man.
Sinden was wearing a kebaya and a red scarf, she had a very beautiful face.
Suddenly the spectators who were sitting watched stood up and danced.
The sinden sang and got off the stage, he walked up to us, then asked Faith to dance, he pulled Iman into the crowd to dance with the audience.
I immediately looked for water, to wash my face so that I could see clearly without the inner eye.
I washed my face with the water I got in a bottle.
" Bismillah.." I washed my face with that water
Instantly I could see the original state without an inner eye.
I saw Iman dancing with a bunch of pocongs.
And the Sinden who danced with Iman, was the Kunti figure we saw on the street earlier. He is not singing, but licking the face and hands of faith.
The bottled water I got turned out to be water in the jug.
I ran with water to Faith.
To awaken Faith I must open her inner eyes to this water.
Damn, the pocongs prevented me from reaching the Faith.
Their faces were rotting shapeless, there were skulls, there were deep black ones, with eyes protruding out, they knew I would save Faith they saw me with a grin.
Hoek!
Several times I wanted to vomit, smell the rotten carcass of them.
I tried to break through them, I screamed for Faith, but Iman did not listen, she kept dancing and kept on licking the Kunti.
I was looking for a gap to reach Iman, the pocongs kept getting in the way, even though my distance was close to reaching him.
Sorry man, I have to open your inner eyes. Let you realize!
I quickly poured the water from far away, right into the face of Faith.
Suddenly Iman looked down, and rubbed his wet face.
" Why do you even smear me bah!" said annoyed.
" Conscious b*go! Look around you!" my yelling.
Faith looked around, she was shocked and startled with glaring eyes.
He fainted soon too.
I immediately captured Faith and protected her.
Surely the pocongs and others, trying to touch the Faith, apparently they want the Faith and intend to bring the Faith.
I kicked, hit those who approached, while reciting prayers to keep them away.
Suddenly the genderuwo approached me.
He quickly strangled me.
I was careless, because in the giggling genderuwo easily the pocongs immediately swarmed over the fainting Faith.
Ughhhh! Wake of Faith, how is this.
I struggled, trying to escape. But it was getting harder and stronger, I had trouble breathing.
Suddenly, Ki Dayeng and Ki Jagat came to our aid.
" HEY! You lower caste creature! How dare you hurt my granddaughter!" shouted Ki Dayeng who was angry, with his small body he climbed onto the shoulders of genderuwo and menjewer then pulled the two ears of genderuwo with all his strength.
While Ki Jagat who just walked over to Iman, the pocongs and kunti were frightened and disappeared.
Ki Dayeng's hand that was pulling the ear of genderuwo suddenly let out a Fire.
The fire burned his ear genderuwo, I was released from the giggling.
Ki Dayeng jumped to protect me, while the head of genderuwo began to burn, and the fire quickly spread and burned his entire body and disappeared into ashes.
" fiuuhh, thank you, you guys came to help me in time" I said.
" Yes, together, let's hurry Anom, we have to leave immediately, the others are waiting." Ki Dayeng asked
