Section 197: Tinung
“Har, Brother will not mean if Har really wants to separate us, but one thing Har must remember, Brother never let go of Har, no matter what happens, because Har is family, but one thing Har has to remember, his sister Kaka.” Alka sneaks into Har's room while she is asleep, Alisha tells her the right way to close the affirmation she has given Hartino, an acceptance and rejection that makes a person feel like they have no chance and begin to fear loss. The psychological science that Alisha has might be helpful.
Alka was about to go through the window again, where she entered. As Alka was about to jump, Hartino pulled Alka's hand.
“Kak, sorry Har ya.” Hartino was clear, his face was not as strong as before.
“Har, there is nothing wrong here, you do our best and Aditia also wishes the best of us. That's why we have to forgive each other Har, you want to go back again?” Alka asked.
“Ya, I want.” Hartino gave up, he never left forever, he was only angry yesterday, although he was distracted by the road with Alisha, but obviously, certain moments, he said, even Alisha is unable to divert Hartino's mind about the herd not being able to solve the case.
“Yaudah, come on.”
“Where? It's night.”
“Ke cave, you can stay tonight.”
“Serious Brother?!” Hartino is happy, they are from small are most happy to stay in the cave, but usually only Jarni who can often do it.
“Yes, ayuk.” Alka reached out her hand, Hartino greeted her and they went to the cave.
It's puluk every night, they reach the cave at half ten. Everyone has gathered.
“Har!!” Ganding hugged Hartino, Jarni also followed behind him, they hugged.
Aditia was silent.
“You don't like me coming back?” Hartino admonished Aditia who looked down.
“Of course I like,” Aditia replied.
“Then, why don't you want to hug me?”
“Includes?”
“Bby, but half shares of your company, so mine huh?” Hartino laughs.
“Everything can also, it is not very important.” Aditia ran and hugged her best friend.
“Sorry I am Har, already said outrageous.”
“Yes, I'm sorryin, I'm sorry because yesterday I ignored you.” Hartino apologized to Ganding and Aditia.
“Kak, so we gathered today for Hartino huh? well, it should be that Brother who advanced yesterday we persuaded Har, so it does not waste ya Dit, our business.”
“Iya Nding.” Hartino hit them, regretting having come to persuade him.
“Besides Hartino, there are also those who want Big Brother cincin.” Alka's ready.
“What's a Kak?” Ganding asked.
“I cuddled times all here today, because there's something I want to introduce. Login Lais.” Alka let someone in from the back door, the herd confused.
“Halo all, my name is Laisha, call Lais aja.” Alisha disguised as Laisha enters confidently.
“Loh who is this?” Banding was confused, Jarni looked at Alka suspiciously. Because there was no one Jarni did not know in Alka's life.
“This is my cousin, we don't know each other first, but yesterday I met him through a dream, we both got the same dream. I brought him because he needed protection.”
“You have enemies?” ask Hartino.
“Yes, I need protection because my dad wants to sell me, so I'm hiding here, okay?” Alisha said with a face full of pleading.
Alka stared resentfully at Alisha, because her talk was excessive, her father's time was willing to sell her, obviously it was slander, because as far as Alka knew she was a child filled with the needs of her life. Wrong for not discussing first about the reason he joined five friends.
Alka and Alisha were too busy with the ritual so they forgot to discuss the reason she joined.
“Of course, you can join.” Aditia said and smiled very sweetly, Alka looked at him sharply.
“Alright, enough introduction, now we discuss the next case, because the abandoned building is now safe and I heard that the building is ready for renovation. Our mission succeeded.”
“Hah? So the spirit of the man who killed himself was already ‘returned’?” Hartino.
“Ya, already.”
“You guys solved the case without me!” Hartino's upset.
“Makanya do not sulk like Jarni, enough Jarni aja who is lazy to say, you do not need, because it is not your style, you lose, do not solve the case that we started yesterday.” Aditia is getting sucked again.
“Dit, this time I'm the one who can sulk.” Ganding is upset, her lover is stalked by Aditia.
“Ok, ok, sorry.” Jarni laughed because Aditia was more cowardly. Indeed, sometimes, after an argument, people only realize, if his words have crossed the line.
“So, where is the spirit found?” Hartino asked.
Alka and Alisha stared at each other.
“So then, Kak Alka did a ritual look at Har's past, we know she was kidnapped like that shaman woman, she lived in an apartment, the apartment was luxurious. I'm rich, I still want to be a shaman. Money does make people drunk and forget themselves.” Ganding was still upset by the soul's abduction.
Alka and Alisha looked at each other again. Alka holds Alisha's hand so that she does not respond suddenly to Ganding's insulting remark, though Ganding does not know, that she is insulting Alisha.
“Hah? shaman has a fancy apartment? Incredibly, deservedly, he would love to collect genies yes, definitely make pesugihan tuh.” Hartino was upset, he took out his laptop.
“What do you want?” Alka asked suddenly.
“You know I'm his apartment unit, I want to teach him a lesson,”
“Har, no need! I've done it anyway, the science is too high.” Alka tries to stop Hartino from trying to find out the owner of the apartment.
“If you can not use the physical path, how about the tax path?” Hartino still does not want to take it off, Alisha starts pounding, afraid of being discovered.
“Yes, the shaman must have misappropriated funds, there is no way he obeyed taxes, surely he hid all the money, because people who suddenly got rich, usually fall prey to Tax Officers, because, we can work on it from that path.” Hartino is eager to find information.
“Har, no need yes, the case has been closed, you do not believe me?” Alka used the most effective means to stop the herd.
Although Hartino does not know that Alisha lives in an apartment, she has Alisha living with her family in the house, but, ownership of the apartment, remains in the name of her mother Alisha. So Hartino finally figured out who the woman they called the shaman woman was.
Alisha was sweating, though she did not show it to the others, she sat opposite Hartino at the Alka dining table.
“Yaudah Sis, but strange, why the hell can we not beat the shaman woman? it feels like I want to skin him, for daring to toy with our mission whose intentions are good this.” Alisha heard Hartino say like this getting sweaty, her legs started not to be unsettled, she did the movements like a person sewing with an old sewing machine on her feet.
Alka holds Alisha's knee, a sign for her to rule over her. It is true, Psychologists and reliable shamans like Alisha alone can be stupid and panic if faced with the one he loves.
Alisha from the beginning of the introduction was already very panicked, she was the first time in front of Hartino wearing casual clothes that look like Alka, only a large size sweatshirt top and jeans equipped with sneakers, shoes and jeans, similar to Alka. But he just remembered that the ritual worked, so he still looked calm.
“We don't have time to take care of the others Nding, remember? The case of the father is still a lot, one case we can solve up to a few weeks or even up to almost a month. So, can I explain our next case?” Alka got a good idea to avoid herd suspicions.
“Oh yes, no your job, until you have to nyariin tuh rotten woman? Uda, don't care anymore.” Ganding said loudly, Alisha looked at Ganding in great anger, rotten woman! He's a lotus, rotten woman.
Alka again patted Alisha on the shoulder, controlling her to remain stoicly insulted by five friends.
“Yaudah I got into the new case chronology yes.” Alka opened Mulyana's notebook which was stored in the middle of the table.
“In this village, every girl born, must have a birthmark on her face.” Alka begins the case chronology.
“Then flies?” Aditia asked.
“Dit, if it's a mole, Brother will say mole, not a birthmark!” the conversation between the men began again.
“Yes I just asked.”
“Can you continue what you want to fight first?” Alka's upset.
“Sorry Brother.” Hartino apologized, Alisha smilingly saw this, a sight she so desperately wanted to see, gathering together what Hartino thought was important.
“That mark of birth, is along the face, starting from the forehead down to the cheeks. Both on the right side of the face, to the left side of the face.
The birthmark will not be a problem, if .. there is no continuation.”
“What's the continuation Kak?” Ganding asked.
“The baby girl born with the birthmark, will only survive for 6 months, after which, the baby will die.”
“Innalilahi!” Aditia was upset to hear that.
“What's the cause Kak?” Ask Ganding he's excited.
“You know the myth about children born with a blackened face?” Alka asked again.
“Yes of course, he said they were born during the eclipse and his parents did not put him under the bed, so his face was touched by the eclipse's curse. Because an eclipse is a symbol of greed when it should be the sun or moon on duty, but that day, during an eclipse, one of them dominates the other, the moon against the sun and the sun against the moon, even if it happens a few seconds.” Aditia elaborated on it at length.
“Yes, that is a myth, because there is actually a medical explanation, the child born with the birthmark, not everything is the work of a curse, it could be a medical problem. But this one is different, it's not a myth that happens, there's no curse there because children are born not during eclipses. Not a medical problem either. Because again the children born are healthy until they die right at the age of 6 months without symptoms, without warning, just sleep, then die.”
“Agruesome once.” Ganding muttering.
“So what did you write in his book?” Aditia asked.
“Bapak says, if this possibility reset Tinung.”
Suddenly a chill broke out when Tinung's name was pronounced.
Tinung, is a deity that was made into a statue by villagers long ago. The statue is in the shape of a woman holding a jug of water. She used to be considered a goddess, the goddess of fortune and power, reflected in the water-filled jug she always carried. It is believed that the jug is a symbol of the container of fortune Tinung wants to give to his worshipers.
His devotees always give offerings in the form of food, coffee and also fragrances every day. Tinung had its own place in every village back then.
Tinung is not an empty idol, Tinung is ....
“When do we get there?” Aditia asked, as if impatient.
“Quiet, we need two days to prepare everything. If now, we eat first yes, Lais already brought food huh?” Alka asked, Alisha nodded then they had dinner together, followed by staying up late, telling stories, maybe until morning.
“Hartino yes?” Alisha pretends not to know.
“Yes, you're Lais right?”
“Yes, thank you for helping with the dishes.”
“Yes, we are used to working all together here.”
“Padala said Alka you are a rich man yes, but want to do something like this.”
“Here we are all rich people, so how can you want to be arrogant with each other.” Hartino laughs.
Alisha smiled, this is the first time Alisha showed her true self to Hartino, the style of dress, the style of speech, the way of eating, she did not take care at all of the etiquette she usually kept in front of Hartino, Hartino said, Alisha becomes herself in the form of Lais.

TWO DAYS EARLIER
“You know, don't you, Alisha? If this ritual is heavy, you might be in pain.” Alka said seriously.
While Alisha was lying down and her hands and feet were tied, there was Rania there, making sure her nona was fine.
“I'm ready, I waited for this for a dozen know, do it, don't take too long ok.” Alisha took a breath and exhaled it violently.
Alka began to slice her wrist in a harmless part, needing the most important part of blood to perform this ritual.
