The Angkara Murka
The Book of Tri Deshi Chapter Twenty-Third
The sunlight was like needles that pierced through the cracks of trees. Kardiman Setil's van drove, not slowly, not fast. Marsudi opened his eyes, breathing slowly, like enjoying a new life. He ‘kan had just risen from the dead. Affandi and Kardiman Setil have always wondered what it's like to be alive again. Marsudi just said that it's like waking up, only there are a few parts that are forgotten, but maybe not too important.
Affandi was eager to be able to master the science of canuragan like his adopted brother, although he knew that it was impossible. How difficult it is to master the science such as rawarontek, pancasona, brajamusti or others. That's why he idolizes Marsudi so much and tries to learn as much as possible from all the actions, including the football lunge in this dark world of thugs and criminality.
Kardiman Setil believes in firearms and how to kill quickly and efficiently. His respect and disdain for the old brother is undeniable, but he has his own goals and desires. He just wants to fulfill all the passions of worldly hedonism in the form of wealth, power and women of course. All this time he could fulfill it, with Marsudi and Affandi. He doesn't have to ask for more.
"Mar, we stop for a while in that second village. We need to find a coffee shop or anything for a short break," said Kardiman Setil when he saw that there were already many house buildings that appeared.
It seemed like they had already started entering a village. According to estimates, this is the second village to reach Obong village. There is still one more village to go through. It takes energy for a journey that is still long and full of challenges. He hasn't slept, neither has Affandi. Maybe they are used to sleeping hours that are not long, but this is a completely different case.
Marsudi asserted, aware that his two adopted brothers needed time to rest for a moment. He himself needs to find a place that is a little quiet to go back to find out and feel the 'call' of Obong village.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Soemantri Soekrasana was thrown in the bushes. He rolled over before stopping near a small tree. Wong Ayu descended slowly from the air, floating. At that time the sun had appeared so that Soemantri Soekrasana could see the woman's face clearly, a beautiful face like it did not come from the earth.
"Don't talk, don't ask. I brought you to this Pancasona village to gather strength and plan. Obviously we can't win against that female demon. I'll explain everything to you later. We have to find a diner or coffee shop to rest and discuss everything. The demon woman was also gathering strength. While he is still too weak to be able to chase us. Hopefully the people in Kaliabang village will not become victims of the creature, however, we will not be able to do anything at this time" said Wong Ayu at length. Soemantri Soekrasana still sitting in the grass with gawking. He had just taken this mysterious woman to disappear from one place to another in a fast and magical way, teleportation.
His stomach was turbulent, his head was dizzy. It takes a few seconds to digest the information given to it quickly.
Wong Ayu herself showed no emotion whatsoever and tended to ignore the young man she 'saved' by taking him away. He walked behind a tree, picked up a bag, then took off his long robe. He was wearing a V-collared T-shirt that was quite low, making Soemantri Soekrasana more dizzy.
The lower part of his body turned out to be Wong Ayu wearing cream-colored jogger pants that are very fashionable. In the bag he picked up behind a tree, he picked up a pair of white canvas shoes. The big bag - which turned out to be a backpack - was also used to insert his cloak and mane.
Soemantri Soekrasana did not believe what she saw. This woman last night was the same figure but very terrible and powerful. Now she is a beautiful and fashionable woman with a backpack on her back, just like a tourist.
The figure walked away leaving Soemantri Soekrasana casually. His curly black hair swayed beautifully. Soemantri Soekrasana rushed up, patted her pants and clothes, then chased after the woman.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Soemantri Soekrasana was shocked half-empty. The name was too familiar with him. It has even become part of his mission that is rumored in the greeting of his dreams. He seemed to be restored to the memory that the boy who burned his body was also present at the events of last night in the village of Kaliabang. It was the ghost of the boy who repeatedly said Wong Ayu's name in his dreams.
Yet he still tried to wear this strand of mystery. So he decided not to say anything and pretended he had never heard the name. After all, he was still inexhaustible with the sudden appearance of Wong Ayu's figure with her terrible strength, her mysterious and indifferent attitude, and her rather inexplicable beauty. Just last night, this woman was able to float and move quickly, high-science, spitting fire could even teleport, yet now she was already completely a different person.
Her long, dark curly hair fell beautifully on her shoulders. Soemantri Soekrasana assumed Wong Ayu was in the late twenties, or early thirty, judging from body language and its appearance in mature and mature speech. However, his physical features showed the opposite. His arms are long and slender. A pair of solid chest and perfectly curved hips like a bend of the Kapuas river in Kalimantan.
Soemantri Soekrasana shook her head. What is he thinking.
Wong Ayu watched his movements, "I know you have a lot of questions. But we can start with your name."
"Soemantri Soekrasana," he replied shortly.
"Then, how can a person like you hold Mpu Gandring? I heard that keris is long gone. It is said that he was thrown into the crater of Mount Kelud," continued Wong Ayu.
Soemantri Soekrasana shrugged, "That's what people know from the news of the magical tabloids or the internet."
"So, is it true that keris is a magic kris made by Mpu Gandring?"
"Lho, how am I even the one who is wondering? It is not that it should be the mbak who began to tell how it suddenly appeared in the village of Kaliabang out of nowhere," replied Soemantri Soekrasana.
Wong Ayu smiled hearing the young man call it a 'mbak.' He did not mind it at all, but it had been a long time since he had spoken normally with strangers.
"Good, fine. All I can tell you is that the figure that appeared in Kaliabang was not the queen of Calonarang as you thought. It is a kind of entity representing the anger, hate, evil and lust of the queen who is now in another dimension of our world. Ah, you know what I mean."
Soemantri Soekrasana looked at Wong Ayu without reacting. Seeing this Wong Ayu continued her story, "You must also have been lured by the beacon that brought you to Kaliabang, right? I'm like that too. But I don't know what kind of call lured you there. What is clear, the case of many deaths of residents in three villages other than Obong village with characteristics such as plague was indeed the result of the leak woman. I do have a mission to destroy that power and return it to hell" Wong Ayu said with a bit of excitement.
