Santet Bride
The Part 20

The Mbah Kromo Residence.

After receiving a voice call from Rasti, Mbah Kromo rushed to prepare various equipment that will be used to carry out rituals to buy time for Arga's return home later in the afternoon.

The finished incense was replaced with a new one, and started to be lit making the smell of smoke pour out throughout the room. After a row of spells were cast on his thick black lips. Making the atmosphere that was once common turned tense and gripping even though it was still daytime.

A heavy and cold wind began to pummel into the small room the old man used for the mourning ritual, making the things inside sway. The hot and cold air mixed into one, the smell of rotten eggs forced its way into the sense of smell. And in the blink of an eye the summoned figure appeared, coming at his master.

"What did Mbah call me? What tasks should I do this time?" asked the tall white figure, with deep black eyes, covered in shrouds with rope ties on his head, body and legs.

"You look carefully at this man's photo. Your job this time is that you should be able to make this man late to his house later in the afternoon, no matter what. Understood?" abah Kromo gave the order to the tall, white figure covered in the shroud.

"Understand, Mbah. I'll go first." The white shrouded figure withdrew from before Mbah Kromo and began to look for the whereabouts of the man in the photo belonging to his master.

Mbah Kromo grinned at the figure of his man so obedient to him, 'it turns out not in vain I sold your soul to the king of pocong, Marni. After what you did to me, now you are the one who must submit to me and become my slave, the loyal servant of the king of the pocong, his inner being.

For a moment Mbah Kromo remembered a woman who had once loved him with all her body and soul, Mbah Kromo even willingly changed the lives of his parents who did not like the woman to get the love of the woman, as required by Marni to young Kromo.

"I want to marry you, Kang but there are conditions." While staring at Kromo's bead, Marni lays out the conditions for proof of Kromo's seriousness to him.

"Tell me what conditions I must meet, Marni. I will try to fulfill it, as long as after that I can marry you," Kimpal Kromo excited.

"Bun*uh both of your parents who never agreed to our relationship, Kang. I don't want to marry you if they're both alive. Now that they've been mean to me, how will it be after I become your wife. I could've been kicked out by them, Kang." Marni continues to spread the noose to young Kromo.

For a moment the young Kromo looked surprised and doubtful on the conditions Marni proposed. He seemed to object to the requirements of Marni because for Kromo both his parents were valuable things in his life, but his love for Marni was so great that he had the determination to sacrifice anything of his own to have Marni completely.

Marni, who saw Kromo's doubt, again spread a deadly poison in the form of seduction and beautiful dreams if Kromo is willing to follow the requirements of her, thanks to Marni's sweet persuasion and the intervention of the devil in it, Kromo finally agreed to those terms.

"Why, Kang? I definitely don't want to obey Marni's request, right? Yes, we broke up. Let Marni marry someone else, many want to marry me, not just Akang. Marni is okay to marry another man, but Akang would regret not being able to have Marni. Didn't I want to enjoy Marni's beautiful body every day?" Marni so aggressively spread the poison to ensnare Kromo.

"good. I will meet your requirements\, tonight will also kub*nuh my parents. You will see proof of my love for you." Kromo steadied his resolve to marry the woman of his heart and what happened was desired by the woman. Kromo successfully killed*uh his parents but the fate of apes befell him when he was about to dispose of the bodies of his parents Kromo was caught by someone who turned out to be Marni's man and had to spend several years in prison.

Once again for the sake of getting her woman, Kromo willingly served the sentence in hopes of marrying Marni after she gets out of prison later.

But what happened? After the young Kromo served his sentence, it turned out that the woman, Marni left her and married another man. Not only that, Marni even insulted him all out and called him a cold-blooded killer so that he made himself into the moons of the villagers and finally expelled from there.

"Bre*ngsek you, Marni. You tricked me in such a way, you made me disobey my parents and I had to go to jail for you! From now on there will be no more love for you, only revenge for you! Wait for my revenge! You must die! Die!" Kromo yells to take an oath to take revenge for the bad that Marni has done to him.

This made him hold a grudge against Marni, to make himself set foot to a place, precisely on the highest slope of Mount Kawi. There for sixty consecutive days the young Kromo performed a white fast and meditated every night, and on the last day of his meditation the young Kromo succeeded in making a pact with Buto Ijo, who was the one who was born, one of the waiters there.

With the help of Buto Ijo, Kromo managed to become the most powerful person in his hometown even he managed to get his revenge on Marni by handing the woman's soul to Buto Ijo as a victim.

Meanwhile in Arga's office, a tall white figure covered in shrouds was standing watching Arga from a place not too far away. The pocong was trying to find a gap to make Arga wretched so that the man was late to come home.

While Arga who does not know that he is a target, feels mediocre. However, several times Arga seemed to rub his neck because it felt creepy and like someone was watching him. Arga tried to find the person who seemed to be watching him, but the person he was looking for did not exist at all.

'I have goosebumps yes, rich there is another. But since there was no one here, the passersby also did not exist. Duh ... why so horror gini anyway?' Arga rubbed his nape while staring at the horror around him, then tried hard to divert his attention back to the work he was finishing.

Ahead of the turn of time from afternoon to evening, Rasti makes a video call to her husband's cell phone. Several times the video call was left alone by Arga, making Rasti feel worried because he was afraid of Mbah Kromo's words earlier.

After several times the video call was ignored, suddenly a video call that somehow answered by Arga, there appeared several piles of files that Arga was working on showed that Arga was fine, he said, it even seems that Arga is eating lunch that had just been ordered because of the many jobs that await approval from him.

[Mas, what else?] tanya Rasti started a conversation with Arga.

[Yes, as you can see. I'm having lunch now, my job is so much new to eat.] Arga shows her lunch spot from a Japanese food restaurant.

[Thank God, if you're okay. I'm sorry, I was angry this morning.] Rasti breathed a sigh of relief to see her husband was fine.

[Yes, I'm sorry too, honey. Ohya, have you eaten yet? If not, eat there first, I want to finish my work again so that later I can go home.] Arga attempts to end a video call from Rasti on the grounds of continuing his unfinished work.

[I've eaten, Mom. Uh, Mas Arga if it has not finished its work is okay just yet, overtime until night is also okay. I give permission.] said Rasti hastily rejected her husband's desire to go home quickly.

[Why are you, how weird is that? I want to go home even you forbid, what is it? Is there something you want to do behind my back?] Arga chases Rastu with many questions, making Rasti difficult to answer.

[Eh, e .. does not mean that Mas Arga is still a lot of work that must be completed immediately yes it is okay to be completed just first everything. And even if Mas Arga has to overtime because it is not finished, it is not a problem for me. That's lo, Mas.] Rasti gelagapan answered a question from Arga.

[Hmm, that's it. But I guess you don't mean rich, I've been arguing. Yes, yes, honey. I want to continue working again. Love you.] Arga ends Rasti's video call without giving his wife a chance to answer.

Rasti who was ready to give her best smile for Arga was forced to swallow it back with disappointment, but Rasti tried not to take the heart of her husband's attitude, considering that soon the effort to conquer her husband's heart will succeed.

Rasti was immediately ready to go to Mbah Kromo's house, he was impatient to perform a ritual that would melt the heart of her husband, she said, the real man she never really loved other than as a means of revenge to Kania.

With a little hurry, Arga headed to the special toilet in his private room, but the fate could not be denied. In a hurry, Arga did not notice her footsteps anymore, and ...

Dugm! Brak!

Arga's legs are related to each other, so that makes it look good and his head first hit the bookcase in front of him. The collision was quite hard apparently, so it was able to drop some books that were quite thick. Instantly, Arga's body lost its balance and hit the wall and knocked him unconscious.

Seeing that Arga was helpless, the figure of Pocong Marni who had been told by Mbah Kromo to harm Arga, revealed his form behind Arga who had collapsed. Pocong Marni seemed so happy because she had managed to carry out her master's orders even though the man was not to die.

'good! I managed to carry out my master's orders to harm this man. Even if he is still alive, let it be better than me to fail miserably. Better, now I turn back and report to the master first.' Inner Pocong Marni inwardly.

With a blink of an eye, Pocong Marni immediately returned to Mbah Kromo's house to report his work. Mbah Kromo nodded at Pocong Marni's report, he felt quite satisfied with the work of his men even though it was not completely perfect.

Coinciding with the use of the report from Pocong Marni, on the front door of Mbah Kromo's house sounded like someone was knocking. And sure enough, just as he expected, Rasti was already at his doorstep. In a hurry Mbah Kromo told Pocong Marni to leave.

"Lake in!" Mbah Kromo shouted to tell Rasti to enter his house.

Hearing Mbah Kromo's voice, Rasti rushed in because he still always felt creepy every time he came to the house, even though he had included frequent visits to Mbah Kromo's house.

"What's wrong?" Without further ado, Mbah Kromo immediately asked the intention of Rasti's arrival to his house, "wait for me to know! You must want to ask why your husband changed, right?" Guess Mbah Kromo.

"Yes, Mbah. I really want to ask that," Rasti replied with a sumringah.

"Yes, here sit you first. Mbah will tell you why your husband changed." Mbah Kromo tells Rasti to take the spot next to him, before showing the mastermind who has successfully influenced Arga.

Rasti complied with Mbah Kromo's request, and immediately took a place next to Mbah Kromo which immediately opened the secret of why Arga changed since the child in the womb died.

"So, actually in the body of your child's fetus, I've recorded a loving talisman that will bind you three, but with the death of your child it means that the talisman of mercy is also lost, too, so that your husband's love for you is also reduced, moreover you have broken my abstinence." Mbah Kromo explained at length.

Rasti who did not think that the real events like that could only be silent, in his heart there was regret why at that time he allowed the old grandmother to take her child just to be exchanged for a way home.

But there was one thing that made Rasti a little upset with Mbah Kromo when the old man said his son was dead. Rasti just wanted to protest to Mbah Kromo about it, when the man preceded himself to speak.

"What! Want to protest when I say your son's dead? It's only natural to say your son died because he wasn't human. He was just a banana tree wrapped in a shroud and buried, you know why! Since you made a pact with the devil for this game of yours, then since then the life of your descendants in exchange for your wishes are realized. Understand you! All the pleasures you get from the devil must be worth the price" Mbah Kromo told Rasti as he revealed the truth about his son's death.

"Then, can I get back that loving talisman, Mbah?" Rasti had apparently darkened his eyes to regain Arga, no matter how he took it.

"Can, the terms are easy. You must get pregnant and have children, because that loving talisman can only enter your child's body through the mixing of the blood of the two of you. But you must also remember that you also have a pact with the devil who is ready to take a child in your womb. Haha." Mbah Kromo laughed out loud imagining how difficult Rasti was to obtain the talisman.

After hearing Mbah Kromo's explanation, Rasti felt extremely frustrated. How can she give birth to a child safely, if every time she is pregnant she has to lose her child before the child is born.

"There is no other way, Mbah, so that I can give birth to a child safely?" ask Rasti curiously.

"There is, but Mbah doesn't know if you want to do it after knowing the terms?" sindir Mbah Kromo to Rasti.

Without a second thought, Rasti immediately agreed with the words of Mbah Kromo, "want, Mbah. I want to do it, whatever it is."

Mbah Kromo showed a smirk with a contemptuous face to Rasti. For him the woman in front of him was besides already a demon slave also no longer had any self-esteem.

"Relatedly? You want?" Mbah Kromo again asked Rasti to convince the woman on her decision.

"Related, Mbah. One hundred percent sure!" Rasti replied firmly.

Rasti did not care what to do just to bind Arga so as not to return to Kania.

"Well, if you're absolutely sure. The conditions are easy and delicious, you are enough to satisfy me and the demon lord of the pity talisman so that he can protect your son from other demons who have made a pact with you first. Hows it? Be capable? Or do you want to back off?" While putting on a mocking face, Mbah Kromo informed her of the conditions.

At first Rasti felt a little surprised by the requirements, he could not imagine that he had to make love with the two creatures mentioned by Mbah Kromo earlier.

He shuddered at the thought of himself being touched by the devil and the old man next to him. However, he has already been able to do all the requirements given. And so, with a heavy heart Rasti nodded in agreement.

"Well, Mbah if that's the only way out. I agree with the terms that Mbah Kromo gives, as long as I can tie my husband so as not to be tempted by other women besides me for the rest of his life, let alone be tempted by his ex-wife!" the steady Rasti toilet with reddened eyes restrained the anger every time it recalled the relationship Kania and Arga used to have.

Mbah Kromo who saw Rasti's nod, laughed happily. In his perverted old brain it was imagined that soon he would easily enjoy the plain body of teasing belonging to a very stupid and cheap young woman, which even just by imagining the innocent body of the young woman alone was able to make one lower limb of Mbah Kromo stiffen very perfectly and demanded to immediately perform the forbidden union and perform a release which intoxicates.

Mbah Kromo who was impatiently waiting for it to materialize repeatedly glanced at Rasti's synthetic body while gulping saliva many times withstanding the desire that began to be unstoppable, he said, moreover, for a very long time he had never touched the body of a human woman since he made the marriage covenant of the jinn and had to be bound by a female demon who became his loyal wife, who always helped her get whatever she wanted from long ago to now.

"Well then, prepare yourself now, we'll start right now." Mbah Kromo ordered Rasti to prepare, while himself rose to light some aprodisiac candles and took them to a room that was devoted to himself every time he performed the ritual of the jinn.
