Room No.11B
Part. 99

"The danger that lurks? What is a cake?" I'm getting curious.

Grandpa Badrun is approaching me. His eyes were still staring intently, piercing into my eyes.

"There will be someone who becomes a victim." replied Grandpa Badrun.

Deg deg deg deg.

Suddenly my heart was beating.

There will be someone who becomes a victim. It's obviously very dangerous, it could be me, or anyone.

"Grandfather, how do we know that Nek Iyah already used the mustika during the ritual? Are there any signs?" my many.

"There is an easy sign that is very clearly visible" said Grandpa Badrun. "Badriyah will look much younger after performing the ritual, very much different than before" explained Grandpa Badrun.

"Huh, look much younger? Can it be like that cake?" ask again.

"Indeed that's the goal, he wants to stay young, he wants to live longer. That's the purpose if you ally yourself with the devil." said Grandpa Badrun. "The aura will seem different, to the layman who sees it, he will be fascinated and could be killed by his orders. But, for people who know and have the advantage of being able to see the supernatural, his face will look creepy." continued Grandpa Badrun.

"Gosh, I don't think cake. It can get like that, yeah. Are those the only signs you can see on the cake?"

"There was. The signs of nature are very clearly visible and you feel." said Grandpa Badrun.

"What's? Signs of nature, what is a cake?"

"The sky will be cloudy for seven days and seven nights, and dark clouds will blanket around his house. But it won't rain that long. For ordinary people who live around his house, will feel uncomfortable because of the unpleasant atmosphere due to the demonic aura." explained Grandpa Badrun.

"If that happens, be prepared.."

My heart is still pounding, this time it's getting tighter.

"Watch what cake?" I asked because I was curious.

"There will be a great natural disaster in this country."

The horror spread throughout the blood vessels inside my body, my hair standing goosebumps. What is so much power that mustika can bring? Is it true everything Grandpa Badrun explained to me? Right now I don't want to guess, want to be right or not that clearly at this time my safety is being threatened. I must take back the mustika from the hands of Nek Iyah.

"Grandfather is sure you doubt what grandfather told you, but believe me mustika is not arbitrary mustika. His power comes from the supernatural. And all our salvation is being threatened, not just you Nak Adi." said Grandpa Badrun.

Grandpa Badrun can read my heart?

"Grandfather, then when should I immediately take the mustika? And what should I do cake? Honestly, I'm very confused right now."

"Friday night of the week, son! This Friday night coincides with the second week of the full moon, on the eve of Friday kliwon. You have to find the mustika at Badriyah's house." said Grandpa Badrun. "While grandfather seeks another way, do not forget to always pray to the Almighty. And remember, tahajud prayer should not be missed. After all, do not let you leave the prayer, son. Understood?"

"Good cake." I said. "Sir, may I ask you something?"

"See what you want to ask, son."

"Why is mustika so important? What does this have to do with Nek Iyah?" my many.

Grandpa Badrun let out a long sigh. He sat on a rock on the sidelines.

"It's all because of Tati, all the disasters in the Thamrin family are because of Tati. Not because of Badriyah." said Grandpa Badrun, his eyes staring at the bright sky due to the full moon.

"Dati? What does Bi Tati kek mean? The cook in Mr Thamrin's family?" my many.

"Yes. The cook who pretended to be a commoner, but he was a magician."

"What, a sakti?" i'm appalled.

"Yes, he's a white man. Tati was heartbroken with Thamrin, especially with Badriyah. Because Thamrin remarried to Badriyah, before the departure of his wife, Nyai Asih. They all blame Badriyah for not knowing anything." explained Grandpa Badrun.

"Son Adi, do you know who Nyai Asih really is?"

"Who's the cake?"

"Hyai Asih is the biological child of Tati. The age of Thamrin with Nyai Asih is very far adrift, like a father and son. But why can Thamrin marry Nyai Asih?"

I'm surprised by Grandpa Badrun's story. I shook my head to answer Grandpa Badrun's question.

"Thamrin was a wealthy man from birth into the world, the Tati family who were just ordinary farmers had a huge debt with the Thamrin family. A hereditary debt that is impossible to pay off by the Tati family. Until one day, Tati said she would give up her daughter named Nyai Asih to be controlled by Thamrin. For that, since childhood Nyai Asih is handled by others, all costs are borne by Thamrin. When he was old enough, Nyai Asih was controlled by Thamrin. Tati who still considers Nyai Asih as his son and longs for the hot, applying for a job as a cook at the Thamrin house. The goal is that Tati can be closer to Nyai Asih, even if only as an internal servant. The secret that Tati is the biological mother of Nyai Asih is well covered until the end of Nyai Asih's life."

I listened carefully to Grandpa Badrun's story, not wanting a single word to be missed. All the mysteries are revealed one by one.

"Then, why is everything wrong Bi Tati cake?" my many.

"Tati wants to retaliate with Thamrin and Badriyah. Thamrin, a greedy man, darkened eyes by treasure, and eyes of a basket. A husband who has let his child suffer at the end of his life. And demanded revenge on Badriyah who seized Thamrin from his son Nyai Asih." explained Grandpa Badrun.

"So all this is because of revenge cake?" my many.

Grandpa Badrun nodded.

"Indeed in what way did Bi Tati take revenge on Pak Thamrin and Nek Iyah?" I'm getting curious. My curiosity churned violently, defeating my stomach hunger.

"A month after Tati was fired by Thamrin, Tati attacked Badriyah. He sent the witch to Badriyah, a month of Badriyah lying helpless on the bed. Every day Badriyah spewed nails, and shardings. As well as out the iron wire from inside his navel in the presence of thick blood colored blackish red. How sad." Grandpa Badrun's story.

"Then how's the cake going?" my many.

"I as Badriyah's brother made calculations with Tati. I spent three days and three nights on Mount Komang, without eating or drinking. Until I get the mustika Dawana God Stone and a very cruel demon, red kuntilanak." story Grandpa Badrun.

He continued, "The stone mustika I made a necklace and I put it on Badriyah's neck. I opened Badriyah's aura so that he could absorb all the energy from the mustika. I ordered the red kuntilanak to guard Badriyah and help Badriyah. Three days, only three days. Santet turned to attack Tati."

"You want to know, what's Tati's fate?" ask Grandpa Badrun.

I swallowed, then nodded.

"His body was charred like it was burning, dry. There was not a single drop of liquid on his body, not even his blood. He died horribly, his power could not withstand the power of mustika and red kuntilanak" explained Grandpa Badrun.

Scary.

"Then, what is the fate of Mr. Thamrin? Did he get hit by a cake too?" my many.

"Hahaahaha. The crocodile man was lucky. He was not dantet by Tati, because Tati had hunted dead at the hands of Badriyah and kuntilanak red. Haha." Grandpa Badrun chuckled.

"You know Nak Adi, after Thamrin became very afraid of Badriyah, his wife as a missing man. He's like Badriyah's pet dog. It is according to what Badriyah said. Hahaahaha." Grandpa Badrun laughed loudly.

"Even if Thamrin was told to eat shit by Badriyah, I would be sure to eat by her. Hahahahaha."

I chuckled at Grandpa Badrun's story.

"But son, hahahaha. But Badriyah who became strong and had a very powerful pet, making it dark eyes." continued Grandpa Badrun, he wiped his tears that came out because he laughed out loud earlier.

"Dark-eyed? What does cake mean?" my many.

"You know Nak Adi, that Thamrin has two sisters."

"Yes, I know cake. Ajeng and Gendis aren't they?" my many.

"Yes right, Ajeng and Gendis. They were the victims to feed Badriyah's pet, the red kuntilanak." Badrun's grandfather explained.

Deg deg deg deg.

Suddenly my heart was pounding at the word 'feed red kuntilanak'. I swallowed, my forehead was sweating. Back there was the creepy face of the red kuntilanak I had seen in the front room of my room. No longer want to see the appearance of that one figure, red kuntilanak. Just imagining it makes me shudder in fear.
