The Treaty of Invisibility
SPIRIT STORY

In Idalam goa which was originally dimly lit by the lighting of a torch is now a little brighter. And the only illumination was from a large red candle that had just been lit by the pigtail.

The cold but humid air felt by the couple plus the sound of monkeys to earthy each other as if rejoicing in welcoming the arrival of new residents increasingly

add to the sanctity of the place.

The husband and wife close each other's bodies, not because they feel the cold but they feel

there is fear in each other's hearts. His pair of unblinking eyes looked around him which now clearly saw a lot of bananas and their skin scattered everywhere.

 “Have not been afraid, the monkeys are happy with your arrival,” said the pigeon while stepping towards a large flat stone.

“I. iyya mbah,” said husband and wife along with a trembling voice as well as waking him from the horror that penetrated his heart.

The husband and wife stepped timidly following the pigtail behind him.

At a glance the large stone resembles an altar where on it scattered various kinds of flowers mixed with bananas lying scattered.

“Sit down,” said the pigeon then lit a large red candle.

Instantly the view of the entire room of the cave is increasingly visible because of the increasing illumination of the candle on the altar stone. The husband and wife increasingly shuddered in horror at the surroundings until they unconsciously grasped each other's hands tightly.

“Once again mbah ask, do you still want to continue doing the ritual of monkey sacrifice?” ask the

piggyback.

“Iy, iyya Mbah,” replied husband and wife sounding doubtful.

Along with the two replied, immediately there was a scream from the monkey chirping each other earthy squeaking echoed the entire room of the cave.

“Once again mbah ask, do you still want to continue doing the ritual of monkey sacrifice?” resolutely

piggyback.

A couple looked at each other looking as if they would ask for answers to strengthen each other's hearts. When in doubt and fear that is seen from the look on the face of the husband and wife is felt that also the shadow of people who raise debt popping up in their minds even his wife was ringing in his head when loan sharks collect debt often snapped even to insult it.

“Eating him if you can't pay don't dare to owe!”

“You confiscated also no valuables!”

“Poor basis!”

Shadow – shadow that flashed in his mind as if giving strength and determination to the wife so hurriedly he replied, “Yes we are ready to continue the ritual!”

Her husband turned to his wife as if he could not believe her answer. But even want to deny it feels like his tongue is a joke. He could only resign to following the situation so he nodded his head following his wife's answer.

“Remember the terms you said earlier? Are you ready?” ask the kuncens reminding.

“Available Mbah, only a chicken right?” answer the wife to make sure.

The husband and wife had been told by the pigeon before while in the cottage that the first major condition was to give a chick. At that time the husband and wife felt that the condition of the chick was very light and easy so they immediately accepted it.

“Iya only a chick that will be taken after you finish doing tirakat and managed to meet

“Then every one of your syuro back must provide a chicken and so on. Remember every single syuro! Do you guys understand?!” firmly the kunken.

“I, iyya understand mbah,” sahut si wife.

“Karso, are you willing?!” ask the pigeon to the husband who had just fallen silent.

 “Iy, iyya mbah,” sahut Karso feels cheesy.

“Alright, for seven days you read the mantra that has been given every midnight. During the day you can not get out of this cave and you only eat bananas that are here,” said the pigeon.

“Iya Mbah,” says Karso and Romlah together.

“Yes already, then leave. On the third day of the altar will come again to invite you and you can not go out before the altar comes to menjeput.” Say the pigeon.

 “Good Mbah,” says karso and Romlah.

*****

As the night wore on, the cold air in the cave warmed slightly by the candlelight before Karso and Romlah. There were originally two large red candles that were lit, but when the Kuncen left his second door in the cave the kecen killed the other candle that was placed on the stone behind the entrance of the cave.

Karso glanced at a alarm clock that was given a key in front of him.  One more round of long clockwork brings the time at 12 p.m. Instantly Karso's heart felt faster.

“Ready-ready to start reading rom spells,” said Karso turned to his wife in a vibrating voice.

Romlah was reflex to see the clock in front of him and immediately the feeling of pounding. With trembling hands Karso unfolded the paper given by the pigtail containing a spell to read both until dawn. The spell writing on a piece of shabby paper was not so long there were only two lines of writing.

When the long needle on the plug had passed the number 12, Karso and Romlah also began to read the spell on the paper placed in front of the two.

Slowly the land of the mantra strands was read Karso and Romlah simultaneously. Initially it sounded not so smooth when the two read the mantra, but after several rounds finally Karso and Romlah were so fluent even a little memorized.

The first hour passed and nothing was felt by Karso and Romlah. The two continued to recite the mantra over and over again, regardless of how many tens or even hundreds of times the spell was read. The feeling of husband and wife was made calm.

Entering the second hour, Karso and Romlah suddenly felt a gust of wind that they felt a little louder to make the candle flame sway sideways almost extinguished.

Jatung Karso and Romlah immediately beat fast. Want to look at the wind that blows, but both of them remember the message of the pigeon,

“Whatever you feel never turn away and stop reciting spells!”

The wind that blew then gathered to form a roll of a small pu ting pickaxe in front of Karso and romlah. But strangely the candle flame in front of him was like it was not hit by his blow. The flame is now fixed

upright not even sway.

Full of uncertain feelings and heart pounding in his chest Karso and Romlah keep his eyes fixed on the mantra writing and never stop reading it. His voice was now slightly trembling withstanding the fear that plagued his feelings.

Unbeknownst to Karso and Romlah, the wind that rolled before them faintly veined into a huge monkey figure the size of 5 times that of a human body. On top of the monkey's head is a golden crown with 3 red gemstones right in the middle of it on the forehead.

In his hand grasping a golden stick, the big monkey held a big smile while staring fixedly at Karso and Romlah who continued to look down.
