Umm Sibyan
Chapters 20. Umm Sibyan never broke a promise

"M-m-m-I mean What's up?"

"Don't disturb my descendants" Mbah Sumanto said with great emphasis on every word he spoke.

"Bah? Whose descendants are meant?" tanya Sinta who sounded like a mutter.

"Arune. Do not disturb Aruna or you will know the consequences," said Mbah Sumanto again which makes Sinta instantly feel flabbergasted in disbelief. So, who is possessing the soul of Mbah Sumanto now is the ancestor of Aruna?

Sinta was more surprised when he saw Mbah Sumanto growling and his head immediately looked up at the ceiling of the room so that Sinta could see there was smoke above Mbah Sumanto's head and disappeared through the air vents. Sinta covered her mouth in disbelief and her legs felt so weak that now, her body collapsed and rested on the floor.

Sinta pulled and exhaled several times to calm her heart that was now beating unbecoming as a result of holding back the fear of the figure who possessed the soul of Mbah Sumanto. "Are you okay?"

"Aaaaakhs!" The question from Mbah Sumanto also made Sinta scream loudly because he was too surprised by the voice of Mbah Sumanto who sounded very suddenly.

"It's okay, Mbah. Who were you possessed by?" ask Sinta who has managed to control herself again.

Rough breathing was heard from Mbah Sumanto. He did not directly answer the question posed by Sinta, but chose to put the keris he currently held that had previously been put into his container again.

"I don't know because the figure forced its way into my soul very suddenly" replied Mbah Sumanto, whose face looked so tired, perhaps it was because the energy of his body had been absorbed completely by the figure that possessed his soul.

"So how, Mbah? Will the day after tomorrow be a ritual?" tanya Sinta who immediately remembered the original purpose of coming to Mbah Sumanto.

"I'm coming with you. Maybe you will succeed, but I cannot guarantee that the figure will not come back to sue you again" said Mbah Sumanto gave an explanation along with the risk that the future could come.

"I can do it, Mbah. I can't give up because I've been acting this far. Right on Friday night Kliwon, I want the ritual to be held." Sinta's determination was unanimous and so believed ninety-nine percent if his efforts would succeed. Caring for the devil with a figure who may not accept and will come back to him. Sinta doesn't want to know, no matter what happens she has to get pregnant right away. If not, then she would really lose her husband.

...----------------...

That night, heavy rain was pouring down the earth accompanied by strong winds that managed to topple a large tree that grew on the shoulder of the road right in front of the house Aruna. Luckily, the tree collapsed onto the street and there was no damage and casualties.

The night was getting late, but the rain did not seem to stop. Precisely, the rain was getting heavier until the thunder from the sky was heard blaring with lightning that was so terrible.

Aruna who realized that the rain had not yet subsided, finally decided to stand in front of the window so that she could gaze at the outside scenery that looked dark and thick fog. Aruna sighed softly as the feeling of longing for the mother returned to the niche of the heart. Maybe because his mood is still mourning, plus heavy rain is ongoing also makes him re-remembered in the figure of his mother.

"Wamma?" The call did not get a response from Aruna. The call was also the umpteenth time Aruna heard from Kala who asked her to go to bed immediately because the time was getting late.

"A little while, Mom. I still want to be here" answered Aruna, stroking her enlarged stomach the day her child was born counting the days.

"Why don't you just look at our window, Yang? I'll be able to watch over you, "smart Kala who has now wrapped her arms around Aruna's stomach.

"No. I want to be here. In the past, Mother often stood here to see the sunrise in the morning and see the rain that soaked the yard. Here, is a favorite place of the mother," replied Aruna again reminiscing about the figure of Bu Gayatri.

Hearing that, Kala could not do much. He'll let Aruna stay there for a few more minutes. "alright. I'm waiting in the middle room, right? Want to fall first," said Kala who got the nod of the head from Aruna.

"Who?" aruna asked in surprise as she rubbed her eyes to make sure that her vision was not wrong.

"Mother?" aruna said softly when she saw the figure of her mother was among the fog with her clothes all white and wet. Aruna could hardly believe her vision, but the figure of her mother standing in her yard seemed increasingly real.

"Mother?" said Aruna again while observing the figure of his mother from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head. "Yes. That's Mum. Why are you standing there?" Then, the figure of his mother waved and asked Aruna to approach him. For a moment, Aruna forgot the fact that her mother had died. He immediately came out of the house and broke through the still heavy rain.

"Mom why is she there?" aruna asked as her mother looked so pitiful with her long wet hair that she made water droplets at the ends.

His mother again asked Aruna to come closer and for some reason, Aruna's legs felt hard to stop. Inwardly, Aruna was eager to stop and not approach her mother. However, the response of his body was precisely different until now Aruna had been within a meter with his mother.

"Aruna," called her mother looking so pitiful when viewed from this close distance. Aruna did not respond to her mother's greeting. He still did not know what he was doing in the midst of this kind of heavy rain to make his entire body drenched.

"I-i-mom why?" tanya Aruna stammered.

"May I hug you?" asked his mother who made all over Aruna's body immediately felt stiff and goosebumps. Aruna's mouth opened wide when she realized it wasn't her mother. He intended to retreat, but his hand was suddenly blocked by a cold hand that made Aruna look at the hand that turned out to be wrinkled. For a moment, Aruna seemed to have forgotten how to breathe. However, he tried to dare to look up and the thing he saw next managed to make Aruna's body work like stopping.

"Where are you? Didn't I tell you I was coming again? I just wanted to pick up my grandson" said the figure in front of him who was no longer in the form of Bu Gayatri. The figure in front of him turned into an old woman who claimed to be Umm Sibyan.

"Sibyan's mother never broke a promise" whispered the figure that made Aruna close her eyes tightly, but felt useless because even though her eyes were closed she still saw the figure in her eyes.

"Go... Don't bother me anymore... " Aruna pleaded with her already trembling body.

"I'm not leaving empty-handed. It's my granddaughter. Let's come with me" said the old woman, stroking Aruna's stomach.

"Prepare to part with your child. In a moment, he'll be with his grandmother hihi." After saying so, Aruna immediately felt a strong grip on her stomach that made her instantly scream in pain.

"Aargha! It hurts! Do not. "please Aruna with tears that have broken.

The old woman laughed so widely that her hand made it into Aruna's stomach so easily, like Aruna's stomach was a translucent object. Then, Aruna's eyes widened wide when a baby managed to be removed so easily along with the ari-ari. "Don't, I beg you... " Aruna was scared. His feelings were mixed between anger, sadness, fear, disappointment, and other feelings that now seemed to have become one attacking his heart.

"I succeeded... Say goodbye to your son. He will soon meet a new mother," said the old woman then disappeared with the fetus contained Aruna.

That same sat, Aruna's body collapsed and slowly, her consciousness was gone.
