The Two and One Night Line Belongs to Mr. Gara
Chapter 48

"Look. Now they are being treated by Purwadi's grandparents. After that they will make a future husband and sister as well as his friend for the resurrection of their biological children who died a few months ago. If you succeed in helping my mother, I promise to tell you how to save her future husband and friend" replied the pale little boy.

"What's? Don't joke, baby. It's not funny" Airin replied in disbelief.

"I'm serious brother. Come on, the sooner the better," replied the little boy passing by leaving Airin. Airin soon followed the child into the forbidden forest.

***

Finally Airin followed where the pale boy took him.

After walking far enough, strangely Airin did not feel tired or sore at all.

Soon Airin and the pale boy arrived at a worn-out and weathered wooden hut. Right next to it there is an old well guarded by banyan trees that have a lot of hanging roots.Truthfully now Airin is very afraid. But he must strengthen himself in order to meet with Gara and Leon again.

"Let's go in" said the little boy holding Airin's hand. It felt like the boy's hand was very cold.

'Why are his hands so cold?' batin Airin was curious as he entered the weathered hut.

"Where's your mommy, baby?" airi asked softly not seeing her mother's whereabouts.

"My mom is here, brother. Come here with me," take the little boy to a restroom in the corner of the room.

Upon entering the room, Airin immediately felt an unpleasant air and at that moment he seemed to vomit.

In the corner of the room was a middle-aged woman whose legs were pasung, and her hands were tied up using a brown rope like a fine hanging root.

"Sir, this is a very small rope, why don't you open it? Pity your mother her hands like that" said Airin staring at the boy.

"I've opened it many times, brother, but I can't. Before Dad died, he said if the rope came off, then the pair would also come off. Not only that, Mother will recover as usual," explained the little boy.

"Who did this to your mother?" tanya Airin began to understand her condition.

"This was all the work of Purwadi's grandparents, my grandfather and grandmother. He wanted to make my mother fall, but it was failed by Dad, that's why Dad died and Mom became like this.

"Ja.. So they're your grandparents? Then how do I release it? What if I fail?" ask Airin worried.

"Important brother sure. I dreamt that there would be a pregnant woman who would release my mother. And I'm sure it must be his older brother" the boy explained in response to Airin's question.

When Airin touched the rope, suddenly lightning sounded. Lightning was everywhere, and there was a lot of laughter coming from outside the hut. Not only that, the rope that was touched by Airin also felt very hot. Because Airin lived in a remote village, he believed in such things.

Airin then read a few verses of the chair and other verses he memorized while removing the rope which is very much twisting.

Slowly but surely, each rope that was successfully opened turned into a pocong rope connected to each end. Until the last turn, Airin felt someone holding his hand and he also felt someone rubbing his stomach very hard. Wet sweat began to fall from Airin's face. He tried to endure extreme pain while continuing to recite the prayers he had memorized.

While the boy's mother laughed giggling like a kuntilanak sound that sounded outside there.

Moments later, coinciding with the rising of the sun, Airin managed to untie all the strings in the hands of the mothers. Like what the boy said earlier, when the rope is released, then the pasung will also come off by itself.

"Mother" called the boy very excited.

"Zaki," replied the mother who had regained consciousness as normal.

The pale boy who turned out to be named Zaki immediately ran into his mother's arms. Not only that, Zaki now looks fresher, not as pale as before.

"Mother, this is the big brother that Zaki had in his dream. He saved Mom from that godforsaken rope. But Mom, the future husband and also friends of this sister is now again at the home of grandfather and also grandmother. We have to help her, Mom. Poor thing, this sister is pregnant" Zaki told her mother.

"Well, if so let's go to your grandparents' house now, but before we get there, each of us has to take a bath using salt water first" the mothers explained.

"Me.. Why is it, Mom?" ask Airin curiously?

"Because, if we take a bath using salt water, they will no longer be able to attack us. In addition, we also have to bring some salt to save the future husband and also your friend earlier," replied the mother.

Finally the three of them immediately took a bath with salt water. Next, the three of them went to Zaki's grandfather and grandmother's hut.

Upon arriving there they see Gara and Leon being bathed using a long cloth that covers each body. When the grandfather and grandmother were about to take the water with a shell, from behind Zaki came and immediately kicked the place down and broke to the ground. Zaki also doused his grandparents using salt that had previously been burned as his mother ordered when leaving the house. , the container of flower water container made of clay was also broken apart scattered to the floor.

Instantly, Purwadi's grandparents were very angry with the behavior of his grandson.

But when he was about to hold Zaki's body, suddenly the old couple fell to the floor. All his body that had been wrinkled, now increased wrinkles again, plus the entire face that blackened from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head.

"Lack of teaching you Zaki. How dare you ruin all my preparations. You see, I will make your mother even more unable to do anything else" Grandma Purwadi threatened with a voice that had begun to tremble.

When Purwadi's grandfather would rise to stand up to stick his dagger towards Zaki, Airin swiftly protected Zaki with his back so that the kris was directly stuck on Cella's back..
