Room No.11B
Part. 100

"Obviously Ajeng and Gendis who became the victim for the red kuntilanak. According to the story I heard from Kang Ujang, Pak Thamrin's two younger brothers really hate Nek Iyah right?" my word.

"Hehehehe. At first they both hated Badriyah, but Badriyah told Thamrin to make up with his two younger siblings. Badriyah wants everything to be okay. Badriyah also told Thamrin to divide the inheritance of his parents according to their rations. And Thamrin followed Badriyah's advice. The three brothers also make up, and live harmoniously, even Ajeng and Gendis can accept Badriyah as their new brother-in-law." story Grandpa Badrun.

"So it was Nek Iyah who told Pak Thamrin to make peace with his two younger brothers?" my many.

"Yes. To the extent that, Si Thamrin made a home for his two younger siblings. You know Nak Adi, the empty house in front of Badriyah's house?"

"Yes knew the cake, in the house the body of my friend was found. Whose house is that cake?"

"That's Ajeng's house. Eventually, he and his family moved into the house. In the house, Ajeng became pregnant with a second child. The baby will be Badriyah's adopted son."

"Mbak Wati means that?"

"Yes, Wati."

"But why did Pak Thamrin and Nek Iyah not have children from their marriage cake? Though it has got the blessing of the two brothers Mr. Thamrin." asked me.

Badrun's grandfather took a cigarette out of his pocket, burned it. The smell of cigarette smoke was very strong.

"Badriyah who does not want to. He did not want his fate like Nyai Asih. Though Thamrin has assured that everything will be fine, but Badriyah keukeuh do not want to have children." explained Grandpa Badrun.

Strange, very strange in my opinion. Which woman doesn't want to have children? Maybe only Nek Iyah had such thoughts.

"Sir, if finally Badriyah can live a quiet and harmonious life with the two younger brothers of Pak Thamrin, then why did Mbak Ajeng and Mbak Gendis who became the victim? Why not someone else?" my many.

"Grandfather was not too clear why Badriyah overthrew Ajeng and Gendis. But according to grandfather, even though they have made peace, Ajeng and Gendis still prefer Nyai Asih rather than Badriyah. However, Nyai Asih is Thamrin's legal wife." Badrun's grandfather explained.

"That's what my grandfather loved, because he had mustika and a loyal guard, Badriyah became dark in the eyes. He had forgotten himself, he seemed to enjoy every crime he did." continued Grandpa Badrun.

"Enjoying? What are the many victims of Nek Iyah kek's fall?"

Grandpa Badrun.

"Many decks. The first victim was Ajeng, Ajeng hanged himself. Family and people around consider Ajeng suicide, but behind the incident, Ajeng actually got whispered to unconsciousness, then hung himself." explained Grandpa Badrun.

"Hanging yourself? Never mind the demon figure I saw in my room was the curious spirit of Mbak Ajeng." I immediately realized what had haunted me.

"It could be Ajeng's spirit." said Grandpa Badrun.

"Sir, who else is the victim of Nek Iyah kek? Who else is the cake?" my many.

"The second is Gendis. Gendis is crazy, stressful. Residents around thought Gendis was crazy for not getting married. Because crazy and unsettling the citizens, Gendis finally in the pasung in the warehouse behind Thamrin's house."

"Enlightening citizens? Indeed how did Mbak Gendis make restless citizens of the cake?" my many.

"Gendis likes to kill cats. They often eat cats alive. His often angry behavior makes the surrounding residents become furious with Gendis. Finally Gendis in the pasung. Even when he's in the pasung, he doesn't want to eat anything but a kitten."

The deg!

Eating a kitten? That figure was also the one I had seen in my room. Women eat kittens alive.

"Have you ever seen Gendis Nak Adi's spirit?" ask Grandpa Badrun.

Grandpa Badrun smiled.

"Then, who's the other victim's cake?" my many. "Don't all the spirits I've ever seen, are victims of Nek Iyah's fall" I said.

"Have a son, there have been many crimes of Badriyah, do not need to be discussed again. Now the point is that you should focus on reclaiming the mustika." said Grandpa Badrun.

"Sir, I told you that grandfather got the red mustika and kuntilanak on Mount Komang. Then Grandpa gave the mustika to Nek Iyah. But at that time, Grandpa gave the mustika to me. How did you get that mustika back from Nek Iyah's hands?" my many.

"This story is what I like the most. This is my favorite part of telling it. Hehehehe." Grandpa Badrun chuckled.

"When Badriyah had dark eyes, there were also many casualties to feed the red kuntilanak, that's when I reprimanded him. Secretly, it turns out that Badriyah studied to Mount Komang without my knowledge. He became increasingly powerful and could use the mustika to the maximum. He can rule his pet arbitrarily. He got a lot of magical pets. He became a prominent person, the prestige of Thamrin as a rich man in the area was replaced by the figure of Badriyah, his wife" stories Badrun's grandfather.

"But it all makes me stifle. Because what Badriyah did was contrary to my compassion, to my humanity. What Badriyah did was already beyond reasonable limits. Finally, I forced myself to reprimand him one afternoon." said Grandpa Badrun.

"I rebuked Badriyah's actions that had passed, I also admitted wrong, had introduced the occult to him, gave the mustika to him. But Badriyah refused to stop his actions. She said she enjoyed it very much, she was proud of her present self, she was not considered a weak woman, she was happy to be seen as a powerful woman, despite the black magic that she had." grandpa Badrun.

I just quietly listened, without interrupting.

"I, who had run out of patience, finally challenged Badriyah to a duel. We make a deal, who will lose, then must be willing to release all the science of kanuragan in his opinion. And become an ordinary person. Our covenant is marked by putting three drops of our blood each on a large rock in the ascetic place of Mount Komang."

"Finally we decided on the day of our duel. Wednesday night wage, exactly twelve o'clock at night, at the top of Mount Komang, safana fields." explained Grandpa Badrun.

"That night at the top of Mount Komang the wind blew quite hard. The safana field is filled with demits and genies waiting for Mount Komang, they want to watch our fights, even Queen Sekar Dara, the ruler of Mount Komang was present. Kanjeng the queen gave my blessing and Badriyah fought on the top of the mountain."

I who heard Grandpa Badrun's story trembled, so excited. I don't want to miss a word.

"Wind wiggles the grass in the safana fields. The boisterous cries of the many demons and mountain-waiting genies made noise. For the layman, that night was probably just the two of us in the safana farm. Finally we started a fight, a supernatural fight. Only our souls fight to leave each of our bodies. We hit each other, elbow each other, and kick each other. We flew around the safana fields. The cheers of the demits and jinn rang out." continued Grandpa Badrun.

"Sir, before continuing. I'd like to ask, what is this magical fight like?" my many.

"Yes we fight normally, it's just that our spirits fight each other. We bring out the skills and knowledge we have." replied Grandpa Badrun.

"Short story, Badriyah was cornered in a valley. He's out of energy. All the knowledge has been given, all the moves have been issued. At that time I was sure I would win. But there's a speck of laughter in my heart, that's what caught me off guard. I didn't realize he was holding the God Dawana Stone mustika. On one surprise attack, he unleashed his knowledge with the added strength of the mustika he held. That attack made half my science disappear. My body spewed out quite a lot of blood." Grandpa Badrun told me.

"Grandfather lost to Nek Iyah?" my many.

"The fight is not over, now I am cornered in the corner of the abyss. Badriyah chuckled haughtily. He said that if I could not defeat him, he said that the help of the Dawana Stone mustika meant a lot to him. He became very haughty, his tone was trifling me." continued Grandpa Badrun.

"You know Nak Adi, I used to play around with the occult. I first ascended to Mount Komang. Badriyah was just a kid yesterday afternoon. He thinks I'm stupid, I have more demits than he does. Hahaahahaha. You fucking woman. Hahaahaha." Grandpa Badrun laughed out loud.

"Hahaahaha. Stupid woman! Hahaahahaha. He thinks I lost! Hahahahaha." Grandpa Badrun was endlessly laughing.

"Then, how did Grandpa take the mustika?" my many.

"Hahaahaha. Wait a minute, kid, it's funny that I remember that. Hahaahahaha. Badriyah Badriyah! Hahahahaha." Grandpa Badrun laughed as he lashed his thighs.

It's so exciting Grandpa Badrun's story. It turns out that all the crimes that Nek Iyah did started from revenge. It was possible that if Bi Tati did not charge Nek Iyah first, none of this would happen. If only both sides had received the fate that God had arranged. But behind all the events that occur, there must be wisdom and lessons that we can take.

Badrun's grandfather still remembers his own story. I smile to see him, while waiting for his laugh to be finished and he continued the story of his fight with Nek Iyah. My hunger was gone, changed with a wriggling curiosity filling my recesses.
