THE BEDOL KEMBANG
PAEHAN KABEH (DISABLE ALL) CHAPTER 3
Along the way to the school Dewi continued to pay attention to Esih who was driven by motorbike by Imas. Esih's pale face, her empty gaze, not speaking a word since last night even she did not bathe and change clothes, making the Goddess wonder. Unlike the usual Esih, the Inner Goddess. Just up to the school gate, Esih had jumped down from the motorbike and walked towards the highway. “Hey Sih, where are you going?!” the Goddess was surprised. He immediately stopped the motor just like that and chased after Esih.
A truck speeding on the highway that was still early in the morning and not expected Esih jumped into the middle of the highway. There was a loud crashing sound followed by a squeak of truck wheel brakes. The goddess screamed helplessly at what was happening before her eyes. Imas just stood frozen looking at it because everything happened so quickly.

“Urang teu nyangka (I don't think) Esih left so soon,” wirih Wira with his head down. Anton looked at Imas and the Goddess in turn. “You guys ‘kan last person who was with Esih ... does Esih not show anything different? How come maen suddenly jumped into the street?” wonder Anton. “Urang ga too carefulin Ton,” said Imas who looks still in shock. “Maneh?” Anton was looking at the Goddess. The new goddess will open her mouth but Nining cuts her off, “Ah is already .. who has gone do not need to be discussed again .. besides she also committed suicide, it was her decision really ..”.
“Heh Ning, maneh can empathize teu? Just last afternoon we were burying Esih, maneh not worth talking like that!” sentak Wira's. “Ya sori sori .. but that's reality and sori if you are sad because Esih gebetan you are not?” said Nini. Wira glared at Nining's sentence. “Naon mean anying (What does that mean an**ng)!?” angry Hero. “Hey hey Wir .. kalem, kalem .. we just lost a friend .. why fight anyway?” sela Anton while holding Wira whose face is reddened.
“Wir, all also know you like the same Esih .. I where is the fault?” kilah Nining's. The hero snorted and stepped away. “Salah you it's time ga exactly Ning,” said Dewi. Nining sighed. “Udah justin aja Ton, do not need dysusulin, let him calm himself first,” said Imas. Anton did not catch up with Wira and sat down again. Everyone just shut up. Minutes passed and the Goddess decided to tell her what she was going through.
“There was a strange same Esih before she jumped into the street ...”
The goddess recounted when she saw Esih who suddenly changed. “And all that happened after we sang that kawih,” said Dewi. “Bentar .. So you think the sightings you saw and the changes that happened were the same Esih all because of the experts?” ask Nining. The Goddess nodded and Nining shook her head.
“Mmm .. it is a bit difficult to believe anyway Wi,” added Anton, “I never know the impact of a kawih can be as terrible as that.”
“Ga know does not mean no,” reply Goddess, “because ... when singing it there is a bad aura that I feel and I am not strong with that aura.”
Nining laughs, “Wi .. You are not yet a professional pesinden .. You can feel there is a mystical aura that if you have performed the ritual as a pesinden actually, mutih and so forth .. you are nothing ... new try nembang doang, it is also not finished is not?” Dewi nodded in agreement, she was lazy to argue because Nining did not feel what she felt.
“But I think still have to find out the question of kawih, let's be clear, try asking Mr. Ujang, he ‘kan karawitan teacher, definitely know,” Anton's advice. “Ya right Ton, tomorrow I try to ask to Pak Ujang,” said Dewi.
