Days change week Evana and Jansen meet Mbah Karto at the house of Sumi's mbah, but the atmosphere in the house is grieving for the departure of mbah Sumi for good.
Mbah Sumi is getting sick every day because he thinks of his daughter who disappeared somewhere, until finally he breathed his last in Kasmi's arms, Sumi told Kasmi to bring his sister back, those were the last words Sumi said.
Evana and Jansen who want to tell you about Bima who has a habit like mbah Wongso can not be delivered, because Mbah Karto is busy helping prepare a funeral for mbah Sumi.
And out there saw bude Walimah and Rania and Wati coming to serve, while Petter who followed Rania seemed to dart toward his parents.
Evana tells Petter that if he is suspicious of young men who used to treat Lala often, then Evana asks Petter to always be with Rania anywhere, because Evana does not want if Rania suffered the same fate as Lala.
The funeral process of Mbah Sumi was short because everything went smoothly, then one by one the mourners began to leave the cemetery area.
"Le the Milky Way did not heed, did he not hear the news of the death of your in-laws". Say Mbah Karto by frowning her.
"It's possible that she rarely socializes with the citizens, if no one is sick". Tukas pak Jarwo by wiping his sweat.
Then Evana also approached Mbah Karto and Mr. Jarwo, saw him tell all the habits of Bima as long as he watched him there.
It looks Mbah Karto hooked both eyebrows, because Evana said something that surprised her, all the rituals that were passed mbah Wongso first, now Bima who did it, now Bima who did it, from the beginning of the offerings and also the ritual offerings.
Why did he perform the same ritual with Wongso, what was Bima's relationship with her, was he Wongso's disciple, Karto's inner soul in his heart.
"Bah Karto, we better investigate it right now, I remember my mother-in-law's last message, if indeed Bima has anything to do with Lala's disappearance, she should take responsibility mbah". Cetus Pak Jarwo with rounding his eyes.
Then Mbah Karto decided to meet Bima at his lodging, Mr. Jarwo asked all his family to return home, but Rania who was curious about Lala's absence decided to follow Mbah Karto secretly, While Petter who was assigned to always be with Rania did not realize if his friend had left her with Wati.
Mbah Karto and Mr. Jarwo tried to knock on Bima's cottage door, but no one opened the door for them.
Rania who hid behind a tree met Bima who had just bought incense from the market, Rania looked surprised and rewind her body.
"You don't have to be afraid of me on deck, I'm a resident here who used to help Lala when she was sick". Bima firmly with a grin on his face.
As Rania frowned, she tried to remember who the man standing before her was.
"Eh yes now I remember, this mas that I've seen at Lala's house, does mas know where Lala is now?". Rania asked by hooking her two eyebrows together.
"I know where Lala is right now, just now I'm gonna tell all her family". Answer Bima.
"This man does not know if Sumi died last night, this morning he was just buried, and we all just returned from the tomb". Rania brightly scratched her non-itchy head.
So Sumi is dead, then why is this child near my cottage, Bima's mind is full of questions.
"All of us, did you come to this place with anyone else". Said Bima by frowning her.
"Yes, I'm with Mbah Karto and also Mr. Jarwo, we're here to find Lala". Cetus Rania with his friendly smile.
"You go to the end of this forest, there's a cave beside the waterfall, you go in there and give this drink to Lala, while I will take the medicinal herbs and tell Mbah Karto and also Mr. Jarwo if I have found Lala, after that we will be together to pick you up at the cave". Cetus Bima while giving a bottle of mineral water to Rania.
As Rania rushes to the end of the forest with a bottle of water, Rania hopes to find Lala there, without Rania knowing she is being tricked by Bima.
Bima seemed to grin with satisfaction, because she managed to deceive Rania.
I used to not be able to subvert you, maybe now is the right time, the inner Milky Way while walking following Rania from afar.
While Mbah Karto who was confused looking for Bima, trying to look through his inner eyes, and when Mbah Karto closed his eyes, both eyes, mbah Karto actually saw Rania talking to someone who could not be seen through the inner eye Mbah Karto.
Why is it not Bima that I saw, then with whom Rania spoke, I could not see clearly her face, Karto was full of questions.
"Le seems like someone is playing us back, I just saw Rania through my inner eye, I'm afraid she's why-why let's put together the strength to see who was talking to Rania, I don't want Rania to suffer the same fate as Lala". Firmly Mbah Karto with a sharp eye.
And before that, Karto summoned the three ghosts of Rania's friends, and ordered them to search for Rania around the forest.
"I'm sorry Karto, I'm not so good at looking after Rania, because she's secretly left me with Wati". Petter said with a pale face.
"It's not your fault Petter, just go with your parents to find out where Rania is now, because I have to perform a ritual with Jarwo to unite our forces, so that I can catch the man behind all the tragedies in this village". Cetus Mbah Karto while going from the lodging of Bima.
Then Petter and his parents sped all over the forest, they split up faster to find Rania, while Petter who was alone accidentally met Bima, then Petter tried to dart away from Bima.
"Where are you little devils going, you messed up my plans, and now that you're coming to see me again, I'm gonna get you and I'm putting it in my magic bottle". Bima cried with a grin on his face.
What does this man mean, maybe he is indeed mbah Wongso, but how is it possible, mbah Wongso is old but this man he is young, inner Petter who is trying to dart away from Bima.
But it was too late for Petter to escape, because Bima had recited the recitation of the mantra and put his soul into a wooden bottle with Javanese script carvings.
Wuuush...
Petter's disembodied soul was sucked into a wooden bottle held by Bima, and Bima quickly closed the bottle and recited the incantation so that Petter could not get out of it.
