TITISAN MARANTI'S
MARRIED MAN
Nur Rahman headed home with uncertain feelings. The road from Mbah To's house to his house is quite quiet when it is night. On the one hand he wanted to get more info from Rendi, but on the other hand he was also uncomfortable if he had to meet the spirit of Rendi in such a quiet place.
“Mas Nur ...” Suddenly someone called out to the young man from behind.
He seemed to have memorized the sound, but to be sure he looked back.
“Loh, Pak RT from where?” greet the young man.
“From the nephew's house, Mas. Coincidentally his wife just gave birth.”
“Wah, Titin already have another child?”
“Not, Mas. This is Nining who finished babaran.”
“Ealah .. my underclassmen already have children.”
“Lah yes. Mas Nur when? Ntar keburu karaten loh!”
“Pak RT is on. There is still no candidate, Mr.”
“The youth as handsome as Mas Nur is not yet a candidate? Do I help you to loud?”
“He he he .. first step, sir. I still want to work first.”
“Ya done it then. Oh yes Mas Nur. Yesterday Mas Nur remembered not the time Mbah To like talking to himself if there were two men and women who did evil to him?”
“Yes, Mr. RT. I recall. Why?”
“So my son told me that yesterday the day after that he did see a pair of foreign men and women were sitting in a Mbah To shop. According to my son, both are no longer young. Well, my son doesn't see Mbah To in his stall. Maybe Mbah To is in, my son also does not understand. Just said my son they brought a car. It doesn't seem like people around here. If anyone here my son would know. And what made my son suspect was that her husband was like he was busy calling someone. Like people are confused so.”
“What are the two people doing, sir?”
“Can be, Mas Nur. But, what's the reason? Mas Nur knows for himself, right? Mbah To is not neko-neko? At Mbah To home there is also not a single item lost even though the house is quite random.”
“That's it, Mr. RT. Mbah To also had time to say that the two people were looking for his goods that were left there. What stuff, huh?”
“I'm also confused Mas Nur. Oh yeah, I go home first, huh?”
“Yes, Mr. RT.”
The two of them separated in a fork and walked towards their homes. The young man's misgivings only disappeared when he reached his home. His father and mother were waiting for him to talk. They both miss their only child.

In a fairly remote area, a couple was sitting in the presence of a shaman.
“Mbah, when can our child be awake? Didn't we already give some tumbals according to Mbah's instructions?” said the wife.
“Sabar, Nduk. Your child should have been awake yesterday, but because of an unexpected event that your child did not become human. Didn't I say, you guys are moving alone to finish the fall. Don't count on me?”
“Iya, Mbah. We are still afraid that yesterday's experience will happen again. We almost became victims, Mbah. Because the fall did not want to recede and almost hurt us ourselves.”
“Stupid, You! Therefore, if you choose the tumbar it is weak. Don't be as strong as yesterday. Fortunately you can still survive. Lf it doesn't? You can die by yourself.”
“What about that thing you lost? Have you met?”
“But, Mbah. We have searched it carefully. Even the old woman we thought hid the stuff until we shoveled, Mbah. Reportedly he has died due to lack of oxygen.”
“Duh, you guys are really stupid! Be careful if it falls into police hands. We can all get caught. You guys are in charge!”
“Looks like the police didn't find him either, Mbah. The proof, how many days from the incident, but there is no call against us.”
“You guys don't over-complicate! What if someone else moved to secretly investigate?”
“I mean like that young man? If there is someone else who does it, it means he must be ready we make the last collision.”
“Good! I'm glad that you guys are that determined.”
“But, Mbah .. Our son will be real, right? We miss that kid. We have waited too long for this miracle. We have lost a lot of treasure for his treatment in the hospital.”
“You two don't believe me?” The shaman said with eyes glaring at the old woman.
“We believe, Mbah! Forgive the scepticism of our talk.” The husband finally answered so that the shaman was not angry.

The next day Nur Rahman played at Mbah To's house. Unfortunately he did not meet with Cak Warno. Neighbor Cak Warno said he was waiting for his wife and son to arrive at the bus terminal. But the young man did not go home. He was trying to find something around the Mbah To stall.
“What exactly did that couple leave in this place? Why did they hold Mbah To? Did Mbah To hide that thing? Hm .. Wait! Whatisit? I have to take it .. Loh, this is it? Is this the thing that a couple is looking for? But, is it possible just because of this thing they both did such an evil thing? I'd better take this thing home first for me to check at home.”
Arriving home, the young man immediately checked the object he found in the Mbah To stall. He was very surprised after examining the object. The memory in his brain instantly swirled by itself. Something left behind on the object turned out to be closely related to the information he had been collecting. Even it can answer the emptiness of information that he obtained from the spirit of Rendi.
The young man was nervous when he checked the object. He was reminded of the late Rendi and Mbah To.
“Means Rendi and Mbah To were killed by the same person ..”
The young man hurriedly packed his things into a backpack. His mother who saw the young man's activities immediately reprimanded him.
“Where are you going, Nur? Shouldn't you be off work now?”
“Bu .. Nur ask permission to go outside the city.”
“Where are you going, Nur? Looks like you're in a hurry once?”
“There's something I have to do outside the city.”
“But, Nur-“
“Plis, Mom! Pray Nur.”
The woman could not do much against her stubborn son.
