Rania's Invisible Search
PART 44 THREAT OF CHARCOAL CANDIDATES
After retrieving the will box left by Bu Wayan, I hurried to go to the last ritual place. But Ma'am Ayu said, if the ritual is finished. And he is currently on his way home.
"Rania. There's bad news for you, Mbah Karto's condition is deteriorating. Any possibility could have happened, you better return to the village as soon as possible" said Malik who had just darted near me.
"Why did you come suddenly with bad news anyway? didn't Mr Jarwo come to treat Mbah Karto? everything should be fine, why is it getting worse?"
"You don't understand what the situation is in nature. Mbah Karto single-handedly against all Leak followers, it could be that he has also met the Charcoal Candidate. There's not much Mr. Jarwo can do, which is why I came to tell you about this news. After all Mbah Karto has great merit in your life."
Malik's explanation made my heart wistful, I seemed to lose my foothold in my life. It is true said Malik, Mbah Karto has great services in my life. During this time it was the youth who led me to face various problems related to the supernatural world.
I immediately returned to the ancient house, where many people had come to mourn. Guests and neighbors around came to express their condolences for the passing of Mbak Ayu's mother.
"Mbak Ayu, there's something I want to get to you. Can you come to my room for a second?" my hand is holding the suitcase.
"Lu why Ran? are you still not well? let's go to your kamat, but I say to Aunt Ajeng."
I don't know what Mbak Ayu talked about with Aunt Ajeng, because they look very serious. Many guests gave condolences to Mbak Ayu, so I had to wait there.
"Sorry yes Ran for long. They were the ones who knew my mother, deliberately came from Bali to meet me. It turns out that Mother came to Jakarta for our nyari, but she lost communication with Om Dewa. Because he's looking for us at the old contract address."
"Ja so they came all the way here to see you? what else do they say?"
"They want to make a special ritual so that the spirit of the mother can go quietly. According to them all the ritual is very important, because Mother adheres to her own beliefs. And they're the only ones from that group who came here."
Mbak Ayu's explanation made me break out in cold sweat, I felt something was wrong with the arrival of those people.
"Don't they come deliberately to make Mbak Ayu as his mother's successor. How about this, what should I do now? I can't leave this place, while Madam Ayu is in danger. The black-robed woman was right, they had already discovered the whereabouts of Madam Ayu." My inner being inside was extremely agitated.
"Why bengong Ran? said you want to talk to me in the room? yuk hunted, I can not long nih still have something I have to do" said Mbak Ayu while pulling me away from the crowd.
"Rania you why?" Ayu's mother lifted my chin up and saw me teary-eyed.
I could not speak, only the eyes wetting my face. Bude came up to me and hugged me, as if he knew my current heartbreak.
"So you know by now, of course your guards must have told you everything, right? my mother forbade me to tell you. So I reasoned to go home because I wanted to pay the wages of the workers. But our lies are futile." said Wati bowing her head.
Ayu looked at us one by one, he knew nothing about this conversation. Soon I open the suitcase, and give her mother's old will box.
"In it is a pendant that you must always wear, Ma'am, never once you let go. That's just a message from your late mother. And there's a letter to Om Deity, please give it to him."
Ma'am Ayu opened the old box and picked up the glittering orange pendant as she held it. It turned out that it was true that only nearby the pendant would emit a ray of light. I breathed a sigh of relief, then I hugged Ms. Ayu and asked her not to perform the ritual with the people she just met earlier.
"Why Ran? aunty Ajeng also forbade me to follow the ritual. I don't think I should be around them when the ritual starts. But Om Dewa just said the opposite, he asked me to attend that special ritual. He said I should respect the faith of his late mother, so for the last time I have to perform a ritual with his group members."
"What! Om God asked you to perform a ritual with those people?"
Ayu's mother nodded her head while wearing a pendant around her neck. But I remembered what Bu Wayan said, he thought that Mbak Ayu would not be harmed if he wore the pendant. But is it okay if he performs the ritual with Leak's worship group? and about Om Dewa who asked Mbak Ayu to perform a special ritual with people who I believe to be members of the worship of Leak. Does he want to subvert Mbak Ayu as a ritual stakeholder. Because he wants to get off his hands like before. In contrast to Aunt Ajeng who forbids Mbak Ayu, but all I know, Aunt Ajeng who has a grudge. He did not accept his descendants being slaughtered. How is this what I have to say to Mbak Ayu, in the midst of my confusion, Malik darted closer to me. He asked me to say everything to Ma'am Ayu, whether he would hear my words or not. The most important thing is that I warned her, and I have to go back to the village with Bude and Wati.
"Mbak is actually a member of a group of heretical sciences. They embrace the teachings of black magic, various worship they do to get something they want. One of them is your late mother, she is the chairman. And not just anyone who can replace him when he is gone, because you do not want to fall into heresy. He deliberately keeps you away from him, and it is Om the God appointed to guard you. One more thing you should know Ma'am, Bu Wayan did deliberately end his life with the knowledge he had. He did so because of the insistence of someone who threatened him, the severed head of his head was carried away from his body. So that his body can not be fused again, and one of the people has been affected. Only one more person remains, your job is to find that person to account for his actions. However, the person had a hand in the death of Bu Wayan. That man should be dragged to the police station as soon as possible."
Although I suspect Aunt Ajeng, I can't tell if he's one of those people. Because my search is uncertain, and I can't just name someone.
...What should Rania do? leaving Mbak Ayu to visit Mbah Karto? or stay near Mbak Ayu, leaving the elders of his village in a dying state? see you tomorrow yes, bye 👋...
...Seriate....
