Teluh Rain
Destruction and Hope

Although he looked angry, the general was actually very happy. Because she can make Melin smile and she also gets her first kiss, without in time by a simple person.

"Mas General wait for me!" melin sok kalem said.

Melin's change of attitude made the General, immediately turned to Melin who was behind her.

"Corruption, huh?!" it's the general's turn to tease Melin.

Melin was not angry with the General, she ran towards the SMU guy. Then holding the general's left hand, without saying much more.

"We have to go to the mosque to pray first.

"I want to apologize to God for committing a sin!" melin said while pointing at the General's face.

Of course, the sin Melin meant was the kiss they both had. Melin's words successfully made the General smile unstoppable.

Love is a feeling I never knew, but suddenly I felt it when I saw it for the first time.

Maybe this is called 'love at first sight'. But for me this feeling is a feeling that makes me want something for the first time.

I want to protect her, even though I can't.

I wanted to make her smile all her life, even though I knew her life would not be long.

I want to always be around her, give her my love. Love him and be with him, and be happy with him.

Although I can make all that happen, but it won't be long.

May I try my best, for this vain thing.

Even if I can't, I will do it anyway. This futile thing, I will do my best.

Melin as long as you live, I will always be by your side and be your back. Lean on me, don't think of anything. Because I love you.

GENERALS

After performing the Magrib Prayer at a nearby mosque, the two of them returned home to the Village of Keruh Water. Along the way Melin clutched tightly onto the General's back, she felt very comfortable with the warmth again.

Once in a while, the General squeezed Melin's fingers tightly coiled in her slender belly. The way young people date shouldn't be like this.

In the house of Mr. Kades already there Pastri, Jackson, Mbah Painah and Arinda. They're all waiting for Melin and the General on the porch of Mr. Kades' house.

The number one man in the Village of Turbid Water, seemed to be very happy because he was surrounded by three widows. Even the widows who surrounded him all had mental illnesses.

Mbah Painah in addition to this old woman, can sometimes see mystical things. Arinda though loved by Mr. Kades this middle-aged woman, did not have a stable sanity. Dan Lastri is a city widow who is only obsessed with her daughter Melinda.

Even though the four of them were united in one house, it was certain that there would be no love spark. Or a burning romance, capable of burning the tempest of their old souls.

"Where have you been, why have you just come home?!" asked Mr. Kades, as if he were questioning his own son and daughter.

"Melin needs some fresh air, and I allowed her to take Melin for a walk!" said Lastri defending that SMU guy.

Melin who just got off the General's motorbike immediately laughed restrainedly. When they heard the debate between the couple and Mr. Jacson they looked like a husband and wife fighting.

"Why did you allow it?

"We didn't go very far, sir! Only in former coal mines!" clearly General.

The general felt he was carrying a girl without her father's permission.

"Well, then we go inside and eat together!" said Mr. Jacson.

Unlike the case with the boisterous atmosphere in Jacson's house.

Dark, silent, desolate ambush in every breath Adrian. The man just sat leaning against the wall of his shabby cottage. His eyes were blank and his face looked very messy.

The mandraguna man hasn't eaten since last night. But the hunger in his stomach he did not feel, because the void that attacked him was more sinister than death.

Amidst the darkness of the cottage without any light, Adrian pondered and thought of many things. He was still trying to find the right solution for his nephew. But the more he searched, the more confused and tormented he became.

Because there is no way to free Melin from the curse of Teluh Rain.

The sound of foot clattering approached towards the cottage occupied by Adrian. The move went straight to the door and his hand opened the door. The burly arm that had just opened the door of the cottage, slowly went down the wall and an old match he turned on.

The fire from the match was ignited into a kerosene lamp commonly called public by the Javanese. Yanuar brought the public closer, his sister sitting on the floor.

Melin's biological father, brought food for his sister in the bushel. Yanuar painstakingly prepared the bushels for his sister to always give a golden spoon to the right hand of his sister.

"Eat! And restore your energy!" Yanuar.

But Adrian, who he considers as his own younger brother, is still silent and does not want to move or talk. All the residents of Adrian village are Mbah Bagio's biological children, even though the man was born from the womb of another woman. Not from the womb of Yanuar's mother.

"Don't bother yourself!" Yanuar.

"If your condition weakens, then your body will be easily overpowered by Nyi Blorong!" yanuar.

Adrian was flirting. He gritted his teeth, restraining the emotions that controlled him. His outlook was still flawed and his mind was still thinking about Melin's fate.

Adrian's sayu eye beads, pointing towards his brother's ah eyes. But his vision was still empty and only seemed hopeless.

"Find me with him!" adrian pinta.

"Adrians! Don't sacrifice your life like this!" Yanuar.

My eyes were still on Yanuar's face. A very desperate look and full of pleas from Adrian. Making Yanuar slightly moved, but still Yanuar would not let Adrian meet Nyi Blorong as a slave to the Snake Demon Lust.

"I have to save Melin, brother! I can't keep quiet like this!

"I can't just let that girl die!" Adrian said.

"What can you really do?" ask Yanuar.

"Whatever I'll do to keep Melin alive!" Adrian said.

Adrian's look of despair did not change at all, it made Yanuar turn his face away from the sight of his sad sister.

"Don't do anything! It's gonna be over soon!" Yanuar.

Unable to see his sister grieving, Yanuar stood up and left Adrian alone in the lodge.

Adrian, who was very desperate, could only stand up and try to follow in his brother's footsteps. Who got out of the cottage first. Adrian still had time to see his brother enter a narrow gap in the rock cliffs.

With a slightly irritated face, Adrian let out a deep sigh. He convinced himself that he could sacrifice anything for Melin.

Adrian stepped quickly towards the gap that was at the bottom of the rock cliffs. The gap made by her brother to go in and out of the palace Nyi Blorong. Adrian also tried to get into the narrow gap, without a doubt again.
