Santet Bride
The Part 19

Meanwhile without Kania noticing the shrouded straw doll that he had not touched for a long time was suddenly moving on its own without being touched by anyone, she said, the originally colorless eyes of the doll turned as red as blood, the previously dead candle suddenly lit up on its own, and suddenly the doll's head, looking at Kania who was walking towards the office with a gaze full of mystery.

The shroud-clad straw doll continued to look at Kania until it disappeared from view. With a look of anger, he intended to harm Kania for ignoring her for so long. However, the straw doll was startled by the sudden appearance of Mahesa's voice behind her.

"Kira! I know you want to do evil to Kania! I'm warning you, don't you ever dare do evil to him if you want to survive!" Threatens Raden Mahesa to Kirana firmly.

"You're threatening me, huh! Who do you think you are, so dare to threaten me in such a way! If you dare, come to me now! We're fighting for the test .. now!" kirana snapped exasperatedly at Mahesa's invisible figure.

Suddenly outside the clouds turned dark, the sound of thunder was earthy, followed by the sound of a raven rumbling right in front of the window of Kania's room.

Meanwhile inside Kania's room there is a battle between two equally powerful astral figures. Kirana and Mahesa attack each other, trying to finish each other off. However, whatever the power, although Kirana is the strongest in the kuntilanak nation, but it turns out that his power is still far below the power of Raden Mahesa.

Kirana is defeated by Raden Mahesa, and in return Kirana is willing to become Mahesa's men but on condition that she is still allowed to follow Kania, because among them there is still a binding agreement.

"alright. I let you follow Kania. On one condition, you should not be careless at all while following Kania, moreover at this time I smell a stinging stench, it seems like someone wants to harm Kania." Raden Mahesa gave orders to Kirana.

"Well ... umm .. may I know your name?" Kirana asked Mahesa's name with a body that was still weak, because his strength had run out against Raden Mahesa in the battle earlier.

"Call me Raden Mahesa, from now on we both have to help Kania avenge her, make the bastard men bow under Kania's feet. Understand you, Kirana!" raden Mahesa.

Kirana nodded her head softly, never did she expect that she would lose to Raden Mahesa, a gentle and handsome king. Embarrassing indeed for a red kuntilanak figure as great as him, but for Kirana, for him the defeat of Raden Mahesa brought its own benefits, because he could know how much power so far.

Kirana resigns from the presence of Raden Mahesa, he must recover his strength after a fight with Raden Mahesa. Meanwhile, Raden Mahesa had already planned something against Kania on the forty night.

'Kania, your dark aura is really interesting to me. In the forty nights, I will make you the greatest man unequaled, so that not only the human race will submit to you, the soft people will submit and not dwell when faced with you. I'll be patient for the day, Kania.' Mahesa muttered inwardly comforting herself.

Meanwhile, at the Arga residence in Pondok Indah, Arga and Rasti were fighting because Rasti was irritated by the attitude of Arga who felt began to change since the death of their child. Rasti feels Arga is no longer attentive to him and constantly daydreams without caring about the surroundings.

While Arga was embarrassed by Rasti's attitude which was now too demanding from him, Arga felt tired of Rasti's attitude that felt increasingly selfish, willing to win by himself.

"Mas, why is it that since the death of our son, I feel that Mas Arga's attitude towards me is not what it used to be! Mas Arga is now changing, Mas Arga is now different from the Mas Arga I used to know!" rasti complained with a sharp tone to see the attitude of her husband who felt began to change.

"How different? I'm ordinary, there's nothing different. You changed times, you are not as sweet as I used to be. Rasti who was now too demanding, was too eager to win by himself! I'm not the selfish one, but you!" Arga refutes Rasti's accusation that his attitude towards Rasti is now different from what he used to be.

"What! You say I changed? Am I being selfish? I realized that since the death of our baby, Mas Arga changed to become more often daydreaming and no more attention to me! Arga doesn't care about me anymore. What's my fault, Mas until Mas Arga avoids me like this? Don't you think Mas Arga cheated on me." Rasti is increasingly inflamed with Arga's attitude which he considered to be outrageous.

Arga snorted at the word by word that Rasti said, he felt very upset because he was constantly cornered by his wife. Arga feels his wife's attitude is too annoying because it always demands her to be next to Rasti, and sometimes also Rasti accuses without evidence that she cheated on him behind Rasti.

"Whatever you say! I don't give a shit! Please accuse me all you want! Just so you know, I stayed away from you because I'm tired of you always accusing me! You always demand to be by your side!" snapped Arga, "you should think, maybe I didn't leave the company just because I had to keep you twenty-four hours in a whole week! And as for your accusation, you introspect yourself, who is staying away now! Every time I ask for my rights as a husband, you always refuse without giving any reason! If I had cheated on you, would it be my fault?" added again.

Arga was upset by the accusations of Rasti which he thought was too excessive, even though for several months Rasti who continued to reject him every time Arga asked for his rights. Arga feels Rasti is very different from Kania who never sued him and even accused him of various kinds. Ah, if the curse had not happened ....

Rasti was inflamed when she saw Arga leaving her just like that, she did not accept with all Arga's words. With anger, Rasti swore to make Arga back to his knees as happened all along.

"Mas! Mas! ARGA! Where are you going, Mom! I don't accept all this, Mom! I swear I brought you back to your knees and bowed to me like I used to. This time you won't easily take the pellets off me, Mas!" rasti's screams loudly, making the housing security guard who was patrolling through in front of his house stop the steps, and look with question marks towards the house Arga.

However, the security officer immediately resumed his steps after seeing Rasti staring at him with a dislike and piercing look as if he wanted to pry his eyeballs, in addition to threats and mockery thrown at him.

"Do you look around, huh! Go not you, or you want me to kill me continue to gouge your eyes because you have dared to kepo my business! Go not you! Go!" rasti shouted loudly so that he surprised the housing security officer and made him immediately leave Rasti and Arga's house with half a run while sticking his index finger on the forehead.

Rasti who from before had felt very angry with Arga was getting angry and threw a flower pot that was nearby, then entered the house and slammed the door tight. Furious, Rasti ran to his room to prepare the ritual equipment that he would do later at midnight on the last day he fasted.

However, before that Rasti made an appointment with Mbah Kromo this afternoon to find out the lie that Arga was currently hiding from him.

[Hello, what else did you call me?] asked Mbah Kromo from across the street.

[Anu, Mbah .. I want to make an appointment this afternoon with Mbah, can you?] rasti replied timidly.

[You want anything else! Isn't tonight the last night you fasted and did the ritual? What do you want to come to me?] ask Mbah Kromo again with a ketus tone.

[A .. a. anu, Mbah .. i.. I want to ask a little help with Mbah Kromo. Can you, Mbah?] Rasti hopes Mbah Kromo will allow himself to come to Mbah Kromo's house.

[Yes, you just came this afternoon. About the return of your husband let me take care of it.] Mbah Kromo heard commanding Rasti.

[Good, Mbah. I will definitely come. Thank you, Mbah.] break up Rasti immediately.

[Hm.] Mbah Kromo replied to Rasti, then hung up.

Rasti who was originally upset, turned to be happy because Mbah Kromo was willing to accept his arrival later in the evening. With wide strides, Rasti immediately finished his ritual preparation, so that later when he returned from Mbah Kromo's house everything was ready, just use it.

In the middle of performing ritual preparations, Rasti remembered the words of Mbah Kromo that seemed to disturb his memory.

'Mbah Kromo said that he will take care of the return of Mas Arga this afternoon. What would Mbah Kromo do to buy Mas Arga time? Hopefully Mbah Kromo does not make Mas Arga wretched.' Rasti is worried about Arga's safety, her husband.

Soon Rasti brushed off the anxious feelings herself, it was impossible for Mbah Kromo to take action to harm her husband, let alone that her ritual target was Arga, her husband.

But given Mbah Kromo's notorious reputation of never forgiving his target, Rasti is again worried. He's afraid Arga has an accident when he comes home.

Hoping anxiously, Rasti resumed preparations for her ritual later that night, occasionally glancing at her phone hoping not to get bad news about her husband.
