The Angkara Murka
Book of Obong - Tarini
Satria Piningit stood unsteady and doyong with a body of mud. He was walking through the sugar cane garden when a tall body gushed from behind the skinny stems. The existence of the creature was unbelievable even though it was clearly visible in both eyes of Satria Piningit. His long pair of limbs seemed to be flailing towards him. The whole body of these creatures is hairy with a jet black color, as dark as sin. Satria Piningit looked up but could not see the figure clearly other than a kind of fangs sticking out of the part that looked like a mouth. Despite being shocked again for the umpteenth time today, Satria Piningit was unable to scream because her mouth was muddled. But he could still run as fast as he could to go home, not caring about the sugarcane leaves that were on his face.
Satria Piningit just cleaned her body in the bathroom. Shaking his entire body while constantly trying to interpret this incident. Questions and feelings of doubt and even rejection occur alternately as the water covers the entire body, carrying away dirt, feelings of fear, doubt and sadness.
Satria Piningit gathers the determination to find and meet Priyam tonight. Every behavior of Priyam, or Priyambada, or whoever she really is, now makes sense. His weirdness, the ignorance of the villagers to his figure, as well as other behavior, seemed to have explained from the beginning that the boy was not an ordinary man.
With the courage gathered, Satria Piningit night was really looking for Priyam. He was so sad but also confused half dead. All the mixed feelings are not bad. He wants to not believe in the fact that his friend, Priyam, is a ghost whose age has been extended years. But if it is true, this is the answer why he finds it often difficult to understand the language of his strange Answer. Priyam uses the old Javanese language, with vocabulary that is rare or even no longer used now.
Satria Piningti also remembers why Wong Ayu was confused to see herself when she first saw Priyam. Basically Wong Ayu saw a ghost, while Satria Piningit was not aware that he was also seeing a ghost.
On the other hand, Priyam himself initially confused why Satria Piningit can see it, but not with other supernatural beings. Both Priyam and Wong Ayu say that Satria Piningit is too innocent because it only thinks good things to other people and this village.
After learning of the vices of the villagers that from hundreds of years ago has not changed and caused Priyam to die and Wong Ayu left this village, being the point that causes him to be able to see other supernatural beings. The proof he can see grandmothers with the back of his body destroyed, or gendruwo bodied in the sugarcane garden that has been told by Priyam before.
Arriving at Priyam's usual place of crouching, Satria Piningit did not find Priyam. He decided to walk directly to the west of the village, in the direction where they had walked at night. His feathers bristled and the air suddenly became cold. Satria Piningit shivered.
"Mistress!" satria Piningit's oath in the heart. His eyes are wide open. Cold sweat the size of corn seeds seeped out from the pores on his back and face. The banana tree he had seen so often was no longer ordinary. There was a young woman floating above him. He was wearing a blood red kebaya. Her hair was shuffled. His face was so pale, his eyes were red, and he was crying. Satria Piningit could even hear her sedu carried by the night wind. He was far more terrifying than Wong Ayu described. And ... He then looked down, towards Satria Piningit, glaring!
Satria Piningit did not run. He walked as fast as he could near the speed of running. "Maye ... Where're you?" his inner.
Priyam's figure is visible. Deflecting Satria Piningit, facing the grave.
Satria Piningit is approaching soon. With everything that has happened lately, not only today, he is so relieved to see his best friend.
"Priyams. I can see that woman in red now. I can also see the gendruwo in the sugarcane garden you said before. I slowly came to my senses and was able to see the face of Obong village and its real citizens now" exclaimed Satria Piningit with a slight tremble given the horrifying sight she had seen, including the monstrous female figure hovering above the banana tree earlier.
Satria Piningit had no idea what she was feeling right now. That was why Wong Ayu suddenly left and avoided Satria Piningit's question regarding the flying head he had seen. Wong Ayu also once told me that he drove his father to a neighboring village for a purpose. It turns out it's all for this business. No wonder the villagers hated Wong Ayu by slandering and expelling him. Citizens obviously get a part and a big advantage by defending pak lurah in his shamanic practice.
"You had a chance to meet my sister, Satria?" suddenly Priyam asked.
Satria Piningit was confused by this question. "Your sister?"
"Yes, you met him at my house this afternoon" he said.
Satria Piningit's brain was searching for answers to this question until all the muscles in her body stiffened. That granny!
"Grandma's your sister?" tanyanya could not believe it.
"He's just as unlucky as me. It was just that he needed to delay that miserable death until old age. He only had to wait for a moment before natural death came. But this bastard can't keep watching the good guys live too long" replied the boy in anger.
"Priyam ... how is your sister ...?" Satria Piningit could not finish the question.
"Tarini is my sister who is very close to me. My family, the Ngalimun breed, would almost certainly not interfere in the affairs of this village again after my death. But Tarini kept calling me, saying that he always missed me. He continued to pray secretly and always found out about life in a different world, a supernatural world, which is my world. Until finally the villagers still know it even after years later. They threw it into the Pratama river. He died when his back and head struck the rock of the rock."
Hearing this, Satria Piningit was terrified beyond measure but also saddened, especially when Priyam finally turned around and faced her. The burning smell of his skin was getting clearer now in Satria Piningit's nasal cavity. Priyam's skin was almost entirely burnt, peeling here and there showing white or reddish flesh. Face destroyed. The place where there should be a nose is just a cavity. One of his eyes jumped out of his hole.
Satria Piningit crying.
"You're afraid of me, Satria? Are you afraid of what you're seeing right now?"
Satria Piningit was crying even louder. His feelings are mixed. He rushed towards Priyam's ghost and hugged her tightly. The skin of Priyam's ghostly figure full of burns stuck to Satria Piningit's skin. A thick scorched smell seeped into his nasal cavity. "Pity you Priyam" he said softly.
