“You ... who?” Aditia asked, because a man appeared after his skewer of condensation was destroyed.
“I ... King of the Sultanate of Cirebon.” The man said.
“Oh! You ... You're the King who was stabbed in the eye by Rajima?” Alka remembered that.
“Rajima ... My evil concubine!” The king said sadly.
“Yes, dia!”
“King, you know .. if you're held in that konde stitch?” Gandy suddenly asked.
“Ya I know.”
“King can you tell me what happened to you until you were held in that konde stitch?” Gandy asked for an explanation this time.
“Whose are you?” The king finally asked.
“We ... how is the clear?” Confused ganding.
“We are a group of people who help humans to escape from the supernatural problem, we are currently facing the problem of Rajima possessing Kemala, because your curse is attached to Rajima, Rajima said, so Kemala was hit by the curse as well, he was married three times and three-thirds died.” Aditia explained.
“Yes, I did curse him, I cursed him so that no man would touch him and all the men who approached him would feel the pain I felt.
But how could he have possessed someone, had he died? didn't he manage to escape, I later found out that he had allied himself with my enemy! The man who held me in that konde skewer.” The king asked because he realized something was strange.
“Your enemy, who?” Aditia.
“Jawab first my question.”
“Oh yes, Rajima is not dead, he is calling you, the science taken the possibility of black magic, he is allied with a genie named Dewi Sundarwani, imprisoned long enough until his soul separated from the body and eventually became a genie like his teacher.”
“Stupid, indeed he can turn into a genie, while his creation is not the same, you are also stupid, can believe.” The king laughed.
“What do we mean we are stupid?” Aditia does not accept.
“First, a human, can not be a genie just because of the ascetic, but if his soul has come out of the body, then that person has died and his soul is likely, like me.”
“STUCK!” Everyone is screaming.
“How can we not talk about this?!” Ganding shouted as he was just conscious.
The substance of the formation of man is earth and then blown spirit, while the substance of the formation of jinn is fire, obviously man made of earth, can not turn himself into fire, if his soul can wander, if his soul can wander, then he is a lost soul that must be repatriated!
The new herd is conscious.
“No wonder you are mistaken, because maybe this legend is too long for you to digest, too old for you to understand. I see the way your clothes are different, surely times have changed, meaning I've been dead a long time.”
“Yes, King, you're dead for hundreds of years.”
“It's been a long time huh.”
“King tell me, what happened so that your soul could be locked in that konde stitch?” Aditia reminded that the king had owed them a story.
The king was then taken to the living room and they all sat on the sofa, just to make the atmosphere more relaxed.
The king began the story, “That day, was a very dark day, my eyes were already deformed, I could not see at all, because my concubine had already pierced my eyes to a perfect blind, and I could not see, he ran away after I cursed.
My queen ostracized me and she replaced my leadership, one thing I didn't think of at all, that of the many people I had avoided because I suspected as the one who might betray me, the Queen is the only person I didn't expect to be her chaperone.
Surely he had been seduced by the curse Goddess, he was indeed good at seducing and making people become angry over the things they had previously received.
I had a hard time getting angry with her, though I later found out that the queen was involved in harming me, because I knew she endured the deep pain of all my marriages with the concubines.
I'm resigned and sincere, I'm sorry for trusting Rajima and putting havoc in my kingdom, if I had been wiser then.
I thought my suffering was the highest, but I was wrong.
The goddess of curse came to me, and she offered what she also offered Rajima, an eternity of being a genie, but I knew all the deceptions of the goddess, so I refused, he did not accept and we ended up fighting, of course I lost, because I was blind.
On the first attack through Rajima I lost because I fell asleep with Rajima's beauty.
Then on the second attack carried out by the Goddess Sundarwani, I lost because I was blind, while the khodam I have had Sundarwani taken prisoner to be a slave in the new kingdom he established right in my kingdom.
I died in that fight, then my soul was taken captive by Sundarwani in that konde puncture.” The king explained at length.
“It's weird, didn't that konde skewer have been directly hidden by Rajima under that river?”
“Nding, don't forget this ... Rajima buried the skewer of the konde on the instructions of the Goddess Sundarwani, right? meaning ...”
“Goddess Sundarawani so know the location, because Rajima is obedient, he hid according to Sundarwani's direction, then after being hidden there, in the river right under the bridge that has the curse of breaking the relationship, then after being hidden there, in the river right under the bridge, The goddess takes back her skewer, after convincing Rajima that it will carry the same properties as those attached to Rajima's body and soul, which are cursed! Curse of the king who clung!” Ganding got the red thread.
“Padahan ... skewers of the condition is a counterweight, simply put, the konde puncture is a kind of antidote for ‘can curse’ that is in the soul of Rajima who has separated from his body. This antidote was then hidden again in that river.” Aditia continued.
“Betul! Chances are like that.” The king just assumed like the others, because the mind of Goddess Sundarwani only he knows right?
“But ... about the bridge curse how? why does the bridge still bear the curse of you, Raja?” Alisha asked.
“Whose name? you're so pretty.” Suddenly the king said so.
“Hei! she's my wife!” Hartino sewot, almost he let go of weapons to fight, could-can his wife be praised soul lost, lost no kidding anymore, it's been hundreds of years!
“Sorry, I thought you weren't married.” The king apologized.
“King, can you explain about the bridge?” Ganding asks everyone to come back to their main problem.
“What bridge?” The king asked again because he did not know about the myth, knowing before he only existed in captivity.
“Bridge that separates one village from another, the bridge has a myth that anyone who passes the bridge will be separated from his partner, either official relationship or just a courtship. It's been a lot of his victims.” Ganding.
“Oh yes, this is my usual assumption playing with the jinn, the former khodamku. It is likely that the bridge was a trick of Sundarwani, not a lot of separation that could have happened because of the temptation of Sundarwani or his allies. Considering Sundarwani can persuade the queen and Rajima to harm me, that means, he could have harmed people to make the bridge look like it has a curse, but not.”
“He did that for what king?” Hartino, who was upset, finally calmed down and asked.
“To make Rajima believe more, oh I err, not just Rajima, but everyone, including you, he fooled you all. Just so he can make Rajima believe that the konde skewer is as cursed as he is, whereas the konde puncture is his weakness, which the goddess hides just in case.” The king was anxious, because he wanted to immediately ‘home’ but it turns out that the problem of the goddess and Rajima was even still there after a long time passed. No kidding, it's been a hundred years.
“King you can't underestimate us, of course we can't read the goddess's thoughts, because the methods and strategies she uses are from quite an old age, no wonder we can't read the situation.” The protest banding is stupid.
“Then why now is the goddess letting us find the skewer? Isn't this the only thing that keeps him from defeating Rajima later, why would he give us that weapon?” Hartino was confused and finally asked.
“You know, if the genie is long-lived, but that does not mean it does not have a deadline, it could be, he has arrived at a time where called God, then he needs to repent?”
“King, you said yourself, that the goddess could not be trusted and fooled all of us, then you now say she repented, that simple time?” Ganding is upset because this king originally said so.
“I'm not a plan, but it's the highest possibility, while he deliberately put this konde puncture as the last card to finish Rajima, from time to time I already know, that any man given power will become greedy, for Rajima was once a man, no wonder he will surely attack the goddess who has given him such a pseudo-immortality. Because the higher the power, Rajima must want to lead the jinn, while Sundarwani also realized this, that's why he prepared my soul that was locked in the skewer of the konde, just in case Rajima acts up. And it turns out that's not true, so the konde skewer was removed from hiding."
"King, then what was the reason he gave us that konde stitch?" Aditia repeated the question again.
"Where do I know, just ask him!"
