THE BEDOL KEMBANG

THE BEDOL KEMBANG
IN GIGIREUN ANJEUN ( BESIDE YOU) CHAPTER 2


His smile Galunggung disappeared. He silently stared with eyes glaring at the Goddess and suddenly the body of the Goddess was thrown into the wall. The goddess complained of pain as her back hit the wall hard. He tried to move but could not. His body is stuck to the wall. Nyai Galunggung drifted closer to the Goddess. His feet were inches from the floor, the edge of his dread cloth waving.


The goddess swallowed her saliva looking at Nyai Galunggung's face up close. He could see so many flashes of anger in his eyeballs. “Subarna .. is this your grandson's face? Hihihi.” Nyai Galunggung's voice resounded and mocked. “Please stop all this Nyai, abdi nyuhunkeun hampura (i apologize),” beg Dewi with a hoarse voice. “Subarna .. Subarna .. tingali yeuh (see here) .. incu maneh rec paeh (your grandson wants to die) hehehe.” Nyai Galunggung looked at the face of the Goddess deeply, like a goddess of death that would fetch a helpless soul.


Goddess shook her head, “Don't .. don't .. this is not my sin---“


“Cicing (silence)! Subarna! Matakna so jalma kudu mengelingan maneh will boga slave jeung incu (meaning so humans must remember, you will have children and grandchildren), sangeunahna maehan salaki batur (instantly killing people's husbands)! Defame the batur (slander people)! Iyeu karma maneh, Subarna (This is your karma Subarna)!” yell Nyai Galunggung.


Nyai Galunggung's face suddenly turned into the face of Kunti Hideung who was shouting in front of the Goddess! The goddess screamed in shock at the change. He could see two pitch-black eye sockets like bottomless wells in front of him. He could feel the horror of also hearing the cries of those who had taken their lives inside the black hole.


Not far away, the red black striped snake had crept on the floor nearing the Goddess's feet. His tongue moved in and out quickly. Ambu heard the screams of the Goddess and immediately banged on the door of the room. “Wi! The goddess! What's the Goddess!?” worried that Ambu who tried to open the door of the room but could not. From the front door I heard a loud knock, Ambu immediately ran to the front door to open the door.


The serpent wrapped around the Goddess' waist and her head stuck out close to the Goddess's face. The flattened snake head with its red eyes looked at the Goddess ready to prey on her. The heart of the Goddess beat uncharacteristically, she wanted to escape but helpless something invisible tied her to this wall. The Goddess closed her eyes and prayed for help from the Power. Kunti Hideung sighed heavily and shook his head as if to say free to pray because he was ready to take his life.


Slowly the snake opened its jaw revealing its fang teeth that were drooling. The Goddess continued to pray quickly and was already resigned to what was to come. The snake's hiss sounded sharp a sign that he was about to start his meal.


However, sayup-sayup heard a voice that chanted an reinforcements, an ajimantra expert from Sunda Karuhun who washed away the soul. His verse evokes silence dispels fear.


Alam peteng ngabuder (Dark nature grows). Wani nyiliwuri satan (Courage chasing demons). Other kula kanyeuri taste (Pain is not because of me). The prayer of the butcher jurig ti Gusti (Prayer of the devil from God). Nu indit tong back (Those who go do not return). Peuting poek teu sieun (Dark night is not afraid). Gera indit keg return (Quick go, do not return).
