Since returning to her village, Nisa has only locked herself in a room. It was as if there was no more passion in his life. Many times the father and mother took turns to persuade Nisa to just eat and meet her two daughters, but Nisa still did not budge. In his mind only appears the shadow Roy is having fun with the demon named Mohana.
This morning, as usual, I went into Nisa's room to deliver breakfast. The father pulled a blanket over Nisa's body, and told her to get up.
"Until when will you continue like this Nisa" she continued softly.Nisa opened her eyes and looked at the sad face of the father. He saw the skin strokes that adorned his old face.
"Nisa doesn't know what else to do sir?", said Nisa with a soft look towards the father. I let out a long sigh, as if understanding the heavy burden that was on Nisa's mind. "When did you become a weakling?", he continued. "The father never taught the father's daughter to give up before she fought" he said.
"This time is different sir, which Nisa is facing like my own shadow" he said softly. "Even Roy can't recognize his real wife anymore" he continued in despair. "Come on Nisa, follow me now!!!", continued the father while dragging Nisa's hand out of her bedroom. Both of them stepped into the forest of Prohibition which is right behind the father's house.
Nisa's footsteps followed the father who had continued to hold her hand. Nisa felt unfamiliar with the scenery on the right left of this path. Never once had Nisa stepped on her foot in this place. He felt very surprised if it turned out that in the corner of the forest behind his house, there was a place this beautiful. "Where are we going sir, what is this place?" asked Nisa to the father. That little guy doesn't seem to care about Nisa. He just kept walking until it looked like an ancient pendopo building, made of real teak wood.
"We've reached Nisa, wait here a minute, you'll be back soon". He let go of his hand and went straight into the pendopo. After waiting for a long time, the father came out with an elderly man who had memorized Nisa well.
"Come here, nduk, we've been waiting for you for a long time" said Mbah Cokro while staring at Nisa. "What place is this, why did you bring me here?" replied Nisa with a question mark. "You'll understand soon".
"Before entering, first clean your body in the joint, then wear the clothes that have been prepared", continued Mbah Cokro explained to Nisa.
Nisa was silent for a while, but her steps immediately led to the bathhouse that had been shown by Mbah Cokro. "What is this anyway?" his inner moment after seeing the bath full of seven-figure flowers. Cloth jarit and kebaya have been placed next to the bathhouse. Not wasting a long time, Nisa immediately cleaned her body with bath water that smells very fragrant. A kind of relaxation when inhaling the aroma of the flower. Understandably, lately the burden of Nisa's mind is so heavy on her. He felt alone and desperate. However, after bathing in this foreign place, it was as if Nisa's energy was rising back up.
Nisa was in the bath for a long time. Closing his eyes while occasionally washing his body with a set of flowers that cover the entire surface of the water. His mood rose again, until he was surprised when he heard the father's voice from outside. "If it's finished, come quickly here Nis, wear clothes that have been prepared, Mbah Cokro is waiting inside", said the father broke the silence.
"Well sir, Nisa's done soon" she replied later.
Nisa looks beautiful, like a royal princess wearing those clothes. He stepped out of the bathroom. Unbeknownst to him, the figure of a huge snake followed him from behind.
Nisa stood at the doorway of the pendopo.Himself thought for a moment and asked in his heart, since when such a magnificent building was inside the Prohibition forest. So beautiful and hidden behind the forest.
"Come on Nisa, sit next to your father", said Mbah Cokro made Nisa jerked in surprise. Not long, though, he immediately shuffled closer to the father who had sat down before him behind the altar Cokro.The room they occupied was not so wide.There was a throne chair that looked so beautiful in front of the three of them. Nisa was still sitting still, watching and observing the motion of her next Brown Mbah.
The two old men were still silent in his place. Sit cross-legged by closing their eyes. Looks solemnly meditated. Another thing with Nisa. He was confused as to what to do. Moreover, the cloth he was wearing at this time made him difficult to sit. Compounding for a long time made Nisa's legs feel numb. Before long, a strong gust of wind entered the pendopo, accompanied by the presence of a giant snake whose size is equivalent to a coconut tree.
Nisa shuffled, approached the father and pulled her hand, but the father remained motionless. The huge snake was white, with a glistening green crown perched on top of its head. His eyes were sharp red. The big snake moved quickly towards the throne seat. His circular body filled the luxurious chair, with his head upright facing forward.
Nisa was about to shout, if only she did not see the father and Mbah Cokro opened his eyes simultaneously. They gave their greetings to the great serpent before him.
"Nyi Blorong, thank you for fulfilling our call" said Mbah Cokro gently. "Why do you call me here, I hope this is important!!", replied the great snake. Nisa closed her mouth in shock to see the animal talking. Of course he still had not recovered his memories so much, that this kind of strange thing was completely beyond his sense logic.
"We intend to ask Nyai for help to overcome the problems that befall our daughter" said Mbah Cokro next. The snake did not reply, but directly directed its gaze at Nisa. He knew very well that at this time only Nisa was the only foreigner who was brought to the pendopo. "Hmm..Come here you can, let me see how big your problem is" he said later.
Father and Mbah Cokro signal that Nisa to get closer to the throne chair. With a feeling of fear, Nisa stepped forward, sitting right under the big snake's head.
