Srikandi Tanah Pasundan
Tujoh Burong

Sari pulled Mika's hand to follow her immediately. "Aunty, wait!"

Sari did not give Mika a chance to dodge. He was not aware of the change in the face of Mika who paled when faced directly with one of Burong Tujoh.

"D-am?!" Mika choked to see the face of Burong Tujoh, the undead in shabby white clothes. 

His face was covered in tangled hair that was almost waist-length. Mika was trembling a little.

"What's wrong? Do not be afraid, consider him one of the humans who became the undead. Just like the demon race we faced yesterday!" Sari still had not looked towards Mika who was starting to lose her guts.

If allowed to choose Mika would rather face the maroz who took over the dead human body than have to deal with the original softening type.

"He's a ghost, Aunt Sari!" His whisper half emphasized his words.

"Who said it wasn't Mika?" Sari almost laughed when she realized something, "Wait!" He turned to look at Mika, "Don't tell me you're scared?!"

Mika's eyes were slightly widened, her pride falling when Sari asked her current feelings. 

Well, even though Mika was honestly very scared. But he was reluctant to admit his current fear. Oh, Mica!

"I? I'm not afraid aunty just a little ... amused?!" Mika raised next to her eyebrows, making Sari smile from behind the veil that covered part of her face.

"Well, whatever you say, stand behind me then. Look and watch!"

Sari again faced the naughty soft man named Burong Tujoh, but unfortunately the soft man had disappeared and fled in the dark. 

"Aaah, shit! Where'd she go?!" Sari dingukan looking for soft target. "Where did you see it go?" Sari looked at Mika who replied with a twitch of the shoulder.

"Iiish, even though I've been after him a long time! Why would he just get away with it?!" Sari was annoyed, she glanced at Mika who distracted her for a moment earlier.

"What's? Why is aunty glancing at me like that? Not my fault?" Mika answers guiltlessly but is also upset that she feels she is the prime suspect the reason Sari lost her hunt.

Sari again clucked in annoyance, he called his guards. "Bimasena, can you find that thing for me?" 

"Well, we'll split up!" Bimasena immediately gave orders to the other guards to search for Sari's quarry.

Mika is amazed by the presence of four Sari guards. A handsome face coupled with an athletic body with mass muscles that are very tempting. It doesn't feel right if the four become Sari's guards.

"Aunty, who are they?" Mika asked even though she could guess it herself.

"They? The guards," Sari replied without loosening her vigilance. Burong Tujoh could be still around them hiding and attacking suddenly.

"Aunty has guards too?"

"Hhm, just like Gia and like you!" 

"Me?"

"Asih Jati also takes care of you, do you know that some of her energy is on you?"

Mika fell silent, assuring Sari's question to herself. Before long Sari took Mika to another place, went back to hiding and observed in the silence of the night.

"Sst, quiet. Reportedly Burong Tujoh target pregnant women and small children sometimes also newborn babies, or women who have just given birth."

"Then?" Mika wants Sari to clarify their purpose for the night.

"Burong Tujoh is actually a group of female jinns employed by a black shaman by a certain covenant. Reportedly they consist of seven burongs that come from pregnant women or women who died during childbirth. They were raised from the grave by a black shaman." Sari began to explain her hunt.

"The case happened a few years ago actually, at that time aunty did not understand what Burong Tujoh was. One of Aunty's acquaintances became his victim." Sari turned the memory five years ago when my friend Santi was rumored to have died horribly.

"He was vilified for black witchcraft after one of the residents admitted to Burong Tujoh's possession and deliberately mentioned the name of aunty's acquaintance." Sari continued on in a sad tone.

Sari then retells what Burong Tujoh is often used by black shamans to send witchcraft. Burong Tujoh will possess the human being who is the target. Not only carrying disease, Burong Tujoh can also take the lives of humans who are targeted.

"If you saw the look of Burong Tujoh instead of kuntilanak?" Mika half in a whisper asked again.

"Yes, in the land of Java we call it kuntilanak but here they call it Burong Tujoh and they have their own mission,"

"Mission?" 

"Yup, according to each group!"

Mika half couldn't believe what Sari said. "They're aunty ghosts! What group, do they also need guidance, group work or something?"

"It's funny dear Mika, you know every soft man has a mission to get as many followers. Including burong Tujoh. If their target dies then it means their success getting the next generation Burong Tujoh and ...," Sari stopped talking, the figure of Burong Tujoh appeared before them.

Bimasena and the others code Sari from a distance. Sari nodded. 

"Aunty," Mika was about to comment but Sari gave the code to keep quiet on her.

Burong Tujoh said, he cried like a kuntilanak in Java. Slowly but surely, he floated close to one of the large shutters. The sound of a crying baby signifies that in the house there is a target for Burong Tujoh.

The baby inside the house cried even louder as the softened figure was right in front of the window.

"I won't let you this time!" 

Sari acted quickly, pulling the woman softly as she was about to penetrate the wooden walls of the residents' stilt houses. With his power Sari took him away to the field not far from the coffee garden near the houses of the residents.

"Tell me who your sender is!" Sari.

Burong Tujoh just giggled, one of his fiery red eyes peering over his tangled hair. Bimasena and other guards locked Burong Tujoh in a magical fence. 

"Call your friend here, and show me your master's black shaman!"

The magic spell Sari uttered torments one of the Tujoh Burong in the confinement of the magical fence. His voice shrieks painfully to the ears, he growls, cries and giggles alternately. Trying to escape from the magical fence made by Bimasena.

It didn't take long, the other six members of Burong Tujoh showed up. They looked angry and immediately attacked Sari. 

"Aunty, lookout!"
