“Yes, chances are Tinung intends to absorb the children's luck. The children were laHIR on Wednesday, showing the number 7 in Sundanese paririmbon means luck. So his intention in the babies is clear, taking good energy that brings good luck.”
“If it is his intention, it means that Tinung is really in very black energy, then why did Tinung take good energy from the babies to make the baby die?” Hartino's confused.
“For ... come back to life?” Alisha gave the most insane opinion.
“Lais, if indeed the goal is to live again, then it should be that in addition to the luck, he also needs a body to lay his soul, meaning there is someone who helps Tinung in achieving the goal. All right, now that I know, you all stay here, reexamine the history of the owner of this house, the shaman and his family, those who have a child named Tinung right? while Aditia and I will be dropping off the woman who is going to have her baby checked at the city hospital, we need to make sure that the woman is going to give birth to a child with a birthmark on the face, because if so, if so, the baby's gonna lure Tinung in, by then, we're gonna catch him. This time obviously, we won't persuade him ‘home’ but we'll catch him, we'll return him by force.” Alka gave the order, while the others would follow her orders.
Alka and Aditia were already in the ambulance along with the pregnant women who were fine, Mbah Nuraeni came to take them, because he was also the one who convinced the pregnant woman to want to be in the USG.
It took several hours to get to the hospital, once it arrived, Alka had prepared everything, so the woman just went to see the Doctor to be able to directly in the USG.
The ultrasound provided at this hospital is a four-dimensional USG, where the baby in the womb can be seen more clearly.
The doctor prepared, and then examined the baby with a very sophisticated ultrasound device. After the doctor said that the baby was healthy, his heart rate was normal, his head circumference and organs were all fine. The doctor also gave the estimated time of birth, about two weeks ago.
After Nuraeni and the pregnant woman left first to return to the ambulance, while Alka and Aditia were still staying, they would ask even deeper questions.
“Where to Doc?” Alka asks, This doctor is an acquaintance of Hartino, Hartino has contacted him to help Alka, this doctor his son also has the ability to see the other world, Hartino, hence he was willing to help after being told by Alka over the phone what they were actually investigating.
“There was a birthmark on the baby on his face, faint and hard to detect, but there was clearly that birthmark, look at this, there was a rather protruding surface on his baby's face, means it's likely that the birthmark is there.” The doctor gave his assumption through an enlarged ultrasound photo.
“Means right the baby was likely born with a birthmark on the face.” Alka muttered.
“Yes, that's right, there's another one that's weird, the baby's moving too weak, the heart rate's good, all the internal organs are good too, but the baby's movement is very weak, I don't even know what kind of phenomenon this is.” The doctor was confused.
“If she is weak, possibly from the fetus, the baby has been approached, so she is weak even though all her vital signs are good Doc.” Alka gave an answer.
“Ya, could have been.”
“Then, born on Wednesday and that birthmark, it is likely Tinung's act, he deliberately approached the expectant mother to make sure the baby that would be his victim was born safely, he said, up to the time he set to take his energy.”
“Alka, you have to help the mother, how sorry are the mothers who lost their children.” The doctor looked grim, he probably remembered his son who was helped by Hartino first so that his son could live a normal life.
“Yes, I will try to Miss Doctor, help us pray yes.” Alka and Aditia said, they took another ambulance and returned to the village.
...
“We've been looking for a lot of information, but why is the information about the shaman's death too vague, you have any information about the shaman? didn't he say he wanted so badly to be able to live so long, then why was his death so faint? No citizen really knows of his death.” Ganding opened the discussion while Alka and Aditia were still not back.
“Iya Nding, this is what I was also confused about, Tinung obviously his body was burned, then all the previous residents he said beat Tinung's father and mother to death, but obviously, there was no body, he said, there are no bodies of Tinung's parents, because every citizen we ask, even to the oldest citizens, they do not know exactly where Tinung's parents are buried.” Hartino was also confused.
“So you guys are suspicious of that shaman? tinung's father?” Alisha asked.
“Ya, I thought, it might just be that ...” Hartino held back his words.
“His father is alive?” Alisha connected the word.
“Yes, it could be that his father is still alive, he intends to make his son come back to life, while all the evil energy has gathered to call his soul back, in order for the soul to enter a new body, then, it needs good energy from the babies is not it?” Ganding shuddered to express the theory that is quite terrible.
“If the shaman manages to raise his son again, then the body used is actually still alive, while his soul is forced out, then taken prisoner, while his son Tinung occupies a new house as his body.
Then the victim will continue to fall, because the body left by his soul will slowly weaken even though it is filled with new souls, to make the body is fine, Tinung needs to take the energy of the baby. So the death of the baby in this village, will not stop even though Tinung has been revived in the body of others.” Alisha also became afraid, because although she was not a good person, killing innocent babies was a very evil and barbaric act.
Hartino notices how Alisha looks deeper into Tinung's origins, in her heart she praises Lais who of course is actually Alisha. Hartino felt Alisha was very intelligent and began to accept her joining the team.
“We wait for brother, because we have to start guerrilla searching for the shaman, surely the shaman is still in this village.”
All agreed, meanwhile Jarni suddenly got up.
“Why?” Ganding asked.
“We cook yuk, Lais?” Jarni was very excited to invite Lais to cook.
Everyone laughed, because Jarni loved cooking with Alisha.
Jarni and Alisha finally went to the kitchen to cook, they agreed to fry bakwan and also cook asem vegetables accompanied by anchovies, food that adds to the atmosphere of this village more beautiful.
“Lais, if fried bakwan use temperature-suhuan no? or can we check the maturity level with a knife alone?” Jarni asked, while Alisha was preparing vegetables to be used as a vegetable.
“No need, if the war is already brownish, behind aja Jar, it's mah use aja approximation, no need kayak fried chicken.”
“Oh gitu Lais. Ok, I'll estimate.” Jarni again seriously faced the bakwan that was being fried.
“Jar, are you dating the same as Ganding?” Alisha asked.
Jarni was speechless, but he felt that there was no harm in saying what they were, they were a herd.
“We are together, if you say dating, not that shallow. We are together and may get married later, but not anytime soon.”
“Ganding has proposed to you? Congratulations yes!” Alisha looks happy.
“Hmm, not yet.” Jarni was silent, he just realized, Ganding had never proposed to him, did not also say love like a couple in general, but Jarni knew and realized, that they could not be said to be ordinary friends, because Ganding clearly said that he was Ganding's woman.
“Oh sorry Jar, I think Ganding has proposed to you.”
“Then, why don't you just say it for a more serious relationship?” Alisha came up with her wild idea.
“Hah? no, it's a shame, women's time starts first.”
“Yes, don't apply Jar anyway, just give code, if you are ready for a more serious relationship.”
“I want our relationship to be serious, I also love her very much, but the thing is, I also don't want this relationship much first, because the team needs us.”
“Indeed, if you are married you should not be on the team again the same Alka?”
“Yes that's not it Lais, if we get married, surely we want the presence of a child, I'll get pregnant, so that Alka will lose two people when I'm pregnant. I'm the weak one and the heavier Ganding is definitely guarding us. Moreover, our son will be, definitely like us, taking care of him will be more difficult.”
“Hah? why is it harder?” Alisha does not know.
“Loh, you don't know? Children who are born with such abilities as ours, will be more pursued, because the fragrance is very sharp, the evil jinn like to prank the children, because the child can be made into a cup, because the child can be used as a cup, for them to ride. Not to mention that if their khodam came down and gave greetings, khodam coming from his grandfather, not from us, it would be much heavier, you know, akudan Ganding both have khodam from the family, so it is likely that there will be khodam fights, because the victor can be khodam of our descendants. The first child must have been the target of the khodam.”
“Wah, it's so heavy it turns out your marriage and Ganding, I understand now, why you guys are delaying the wedding.”
“Yes, that's why people like us, prefer to marry ordinary people, because there will be no fight between khodam, besides, married to ordinary women, the, also makes us have to cover identity, like Hartino.”
“Hartino?” Alisha is confused, as Jarni suddenly mentions Hartino's name.
“Yes, I had heard Hartino and Ganding talk about a girl Hartino liked for a long time, uh, I also heard them talk when I pretended to be asleep, so I was awake at the time, but since Hartino and Ganding were talking about the girl Hartino liked again I pretended to be asleep. You know, those two guys sometimes keep their secrets.”
“What is the secret?” Alisha is curious.
“But promise me, you won't tell anyone about this, I'm afraid Har will get angry, he's scary, not explosive, but you'll be silenced until the anger is over. Sometimes angry for a long time.”
“Yes, I promise I won't tell anyone, women's secrets, like they also have secrets?” Alisha really couldn't stand it, she wanted to hear the secret immediately, but Jarni just kept turning it around.
“Hartino actually likes a girl, it's been a long time she likes, I don't really hear how long she likes that girl. But she would never marry him.”
“Why?” Alisha begins to remember all of Hartino's girlfriends, roughly which one she liked very long ago.
“Because ... Har does not want to be like father, Mr. Mulyana his father Aditia, our adoptive father. Har doesn't want to be a liar forever, lying to his family because of his ability. Har was also afraid that if he married that woman who was from among ordinary humans, that woman would suffer because it must continue to be attacked by the genies of our enemies.
So Har persevered to marry Aditia's relatives, because Aditia's relatives were likely many who were Kharisma Jagat, women who were like us. He said he would rather marry such a woman if forced to marry, because marrying the woman he liked would ruin her life. He does not want the woman unhappy.”
Alisha is holding tight, first she has to figure out who Hartino loves in that, so she can't be with anyone. Alisha also thought about the possibility of killing the woman. Then after that, he also thought about going after all the women of Kharisma Jagat Aditia's relatives, so that no one could marry Hartinol. For this one, Alisha must not be able, because if she intends to finish off all Aditia relatives who are Charisma Jagat, then Ayi Mahogra will not be silent. Although Alisha is higher in knowledge than Alka, but still, compared to Ayi Mahogra, Alisha was just a child yesterday afternoon who could easily be conquered. Besides, of course this was just his wild thoughts from anger, Hartino never thought the slightest bit about him which clearly had shown how much he loved him all along.
But what Hartino had in mind were other women and also the Kharisma Jagat women. Alisha was so upset that she ended up cutting all the vegetables violently, Jarni saw it so confused. Because Alisha cuts randomly and without an estimate.
“Lais, that vegetable is cut so yes? the corn is so weird, huh?”
Alisha looked at all the vegetables she cut, so it was a mess.
“Yes, let it be easy to eat, so I cut it like this.” Alisha was still trying to smile, even though her heart was sliced by what she had heard earlier.
The food was ripe, they all ate. Alisha was much quieter, usually she would try chatting with Hartino and the others, but she became calmer.
“Why you? usually bring it up, feel heavy huh, work with us?” Hartino teases Alisha, as usual, Hartino does always make jokes that sometimes insult others, but his intentions are joking.
“Jaga your mouth! You think I'm a weak woman?” Alisha got up and was about to wash the dishes.
“Har! Do not make people ilfil deh same you.” Ganding protest.
“Tau nih, the habit of joking, right sister has said, we must be more careful if joking, you already make Alisha offended tuh. Remember, if he is tired, naturally, he cooks all the food we eat!” Jarni protested, rarely defending anyone other than Alka.
“Yaudah there, sorry, if he met brother, run your life. He's kan, his brother's brother.” Because of Hartino, Hartino felt guilty.
Hartino brought a dirty plate, as an excuse to get close to Alisha.
“Lais, can I help you wash dishes?” Ask.
“No need, I can do it myself.” Alisha said without turning her head, Hartino felt more guilt and fear, if Alka knew she made her brother hurt, could die him.
“Lais, sorry, just kidding. We if here the joke is sometimes out of bounds, so sorry yes.” Hartino tried to apologize.
Alisha just nodded, but she was holding back the crying, not the joke she was crying, but at Jarni's words about how Hartino had made a mature plan for his life, he was never in that plan.
“Lais, you are very useful in the team, your thoughts are as broad as brother, although not as wise as brother, but seeing you both, is like seeing the same person. I'm amazed you actually, can directly adapt to our work.” Hartino put down his plate after saying that.
“Make what proud, free!” Alisha suddenly turned to look towards Hartino, “not the sense of pride I wanted! I just want you!”
