Teluh Rain
Elders of the Water Village

At Mr. Jacson's dining table, it looked quite crowded. The middle-aged man who still looked handsome, could only smile happily as he circulated his gaze to everyone in his dining room.

He felt like he had a family again, after all this time. In the Netherlands Jacson also lived alone and after returning to Indonesia he remained alone, in a house that is quite large relics of his parents.

But the attention is quite special, he shows when looking at Melin. His smile seemed to be stifled when he saw the sweet girl. Jacson also felt sorry for Melin, because the young girl had to bear a very heavy burden. But he is still very young.

Not only was it sad and pitying, but when Jacson looked towards Melin. The middle-aged man's chest was like a quiver, a tremor that made Jacson slightly misbehave.

Jacson did not expect that his feelings for Melin turned out to be deep enough. She thought her chest was shaking because she remembered Arinda's figure in Melin. But at this time Jacson was not remembering Arinda, because Arinda's figure was next to his seat. But his chest still trembled violently when he saw Melin.

What's more when Jacson sees Melin stealing glances with the General, who is sitting face to face at this round-shaped dining table. The tremors in Jackson's chest grew stronger and seemed unstoppable. He was jealous, why he was jealous.

Jacson realized that his feelings were not important at this time, The most important thing at this time was to find a way to free Melin from the Fall of Rain.

Jacson had invited some elders of the Water Keruh Village, to come to his house after the Isya Prayer service. Because only the elders of the Water Cloud Village knew, about the incident 60 years ago.

.

.

After dinner they all performed the Isya Prayer together. Only Arinda did not come, the woman was left to sit alone in the backyard of the house.

During her time at Jacson's house, Arinda looked very calm. He is not crazy or acting strange. It made everyone who was near the crazy woman, feel unperturbed by the presence of Arinda around them.

I don't know what Jacson's plan is to bring Arinda to his house. Is it because the man is afraid that his lover will be hurt by Adrian. Or any other reason, no one knows.

After finishing performing the Shlat Isya worship, one by one the elders called by Jacson began to appear. Most of the parents were escorted by their children, wearing motorbikes. Because not all the elders of the Water Keruh Village, live in this Village again.

After it was felt that all the invited elders had been present, Jacson began to speak.

"Before I apologize for inconveniencing the elders and pini as old as this village.

"Maybe some of you already know, my purpose is to invite the elders to come to my house tonight" Jacson said.

It was obvious that many elders were nodding their heads. A sign that the parents knew what Jackson meant and purpose was calling them all.

"Our village is now in danger, which is huge!

"As you know a while ago, there were a lot of very brutal murders" Jacson said.

The man swept his gaze, towards the elders before him. They seem to whisper to each other. I don't know what that means, which is for sure Jackson doesn't want to back down to discuss the issue of the curse of Teluh Rain.

"I have been informed that the sadistic killing that took place in this village has something to do with the curse of Teluh Rain" Jackson said with a single breath.

The elders were still whispering to each other, no one dared to speak up yet.

"And my purpose in inviting you all here, is to discuss about the curse of the White Rain!" jacson.

It was seen that the elders there were just talking to each other, whispering and pointing at each other. But someone who stood up and started talking. He is Mbah Karyo, the younger brother of Mbak Wiji.

"What are you really looking for, Mr. Kades?!" asked the old man in a very firm tone.

"Of course I am looking for a solution to stop the terror of the curse of Teluh Rain that afflicts this village" Jacson replied in a firm tone.

"You don't have to do anything!

"Because everything is ready! You just have to wait, in a minute for sure all this will be over!" mbah Karyo.

"of course! Everyone here knows it too.

"When the crash is ready, then all the disasters that befall this village will stop!

"Adrian as the successor of Mbah Sodik, must have prepared everything. Mr. Kades doesn't have to worry about this matter!" mbah Karyo.

Feeling that he was done talking, Mbah Karyo walked towards the door. He seemed to want to return home quickly.

"Do you all want to stay here???

"Don't anyone want to go home?" Karyo's mother rebuked all the elders invited by Jackson.

Slowly but surely, one by one the elders present in Jacson's residence began to stand up. They left the residence of Mr. Kades, apparently no one dared to refute the words of Mbah Karyo.

After all gone there is only Bowo and Zainal, as Bowo is the Village Secretary and Bowo is the Village hansip. They helped clean up Mr. Kades' house, which was actually not a mess.

.

.

On his porch Jacson was standing, holding his head. He massaged his forehead using one of his own hands. Seeing the departure of all the Village Elders from his home, made him very frustrated.

Kades Air Keruh it is not expected, if all villagers do not care about the victims that must be grounded. They are so very selfish, thinking only of themselves. They feared death caused by demons.

.

.

In the backyard of Mr. Kades's mansion, there is a wooden swing. There Arinda sat and looked up at the sky.

Melin's footsteps slowly approached the wooden swing. His gaze pored towards Arinda's face which looked very blank without any expression. Melin tried to guess what the crazy woman was thinking.

"They all deserve to die!" said Arinda in a soft tone.

Melin was still researching Arinda's expression which was still unchanged. The woman did not change her position or look at the sky. So Melin thought the words that the crazy woman said were just nonsense.

With a sudden movement, Arinda came down from that wooden swing.

"Where is aunt going?" she said Melin to the crazy woman.

Arinda did not answer Melin's question. He kept walking towards the front yard, through the side yard of Mr. Kades' house. Melin followed Arinda's footsteps. Iya fear also Arinda disappeared Mr. Kades will be sad.

"Where are you going?" ask Mr. Kades.

Ask the man who is now standing on the porch of his house.

"I want to go home!" arinda replied, she did not stop walking nor turned to the person who asked her.

But Mr. Kades walked hurriedly towards Arinda, the middle-aged man blocked Arinda's footsteps.

"Sleep here tonight There's a lot of people sleeping here tonight!" talk to Mr. Kades to Arinda.
