Removing Blood From the Ears

As Wartel was packing new noodle products, Cabbage approached him to start the conversation. Wartel smiled at him, as he was already considered his own friend.

"Eh, you don't want to walk tonight." said Kubis.

"I'm sorry I can't, I want to see Pumpkin in the hospital" replied Wartel.

"Wednesday looks very important in your eyes." Cabbage withstanding irritations.

"That's it, because we're already dating." Wartel was honest when he answered.

That night, Kubis started his crime. He was even crazier in pranking his enemies, not hesitating to pierce the ear of a puppet with a nail. The cabbage chuckled to itself, like a madman running out of medicine.

"Hahah.. know your taste Pumpkin. You guys, you don't have to wake up anymore."

Aliny still went inside the room without knocking on the door. The cabbage was completely wrathful, then pushed her mother until her body fell to the floor.

"Kubis, is it your fault, son?" ask Aliny.

"Mother went into the room without permission again" replied Kubis.

"I'm sorry, Mother, for you have not heard the call. Mom's finally in, 'cause the door's not locked." Aliny was a little sorry.

The cabbage immediately helped his mother stand up, then apologized for what she had done. Aliny was astonished by the Cabbage, because he was often pensive and laughed himself. He acts like a man is no longer sane.

"You be careful when you're alone. Don't forget the story, if you have a problem." said Aliny.

"If it's not a secret, I'll tell you first" Cabbage replied.

Ferns paced in confusion with the condition of Pumpkin, which was getting worse. Ears that suddenly bleed, making doctors run to check.

"Why the condition can be this severe, even when examined there is no disease of any kind." The doctor was astonished.

Ferns stepped up to the doctor, to ask his sister. The doctor who had just walked out of the room, immediately gave a clean answer.

"Your sister has been examined, but there are no symptoms of any cancer" he said, honestly.

"So, speak according to reality only. Clearly, his ears are bleeding." replied Fernis.

"Perhaps, she's not medically ill" the doctor said.

"Maybe sick delivery from someone else." Fern suddenly occurred to Pare, his friend Pumpkin who had been sick for a long time.

The days continue to pass, Pakis many invite smart people. Shamans, healers, and psychics have been deployed. But the results remained nil, making him almost desperate.

"Sometimes Big Brother wants to give up, seeing Pumpkin's condition like this." Fern confided in Wartel.

"Yes Kak, indeed the condition is very concerning. Many do not know, how. overcome the pain experienced by Pumpkin." replied Wartel.

"What about his friend Pare, is he cured?" Ferns are curious.

"Pare is still sick, and Aunt Baidah is brought to treatment." replied Wartel, recalling his last visit.

Baidah had reached the city of Bandung, bringing the weak Pare helpless. Baidah is willing to do anything, so that his son can return to the way he was. Although must sell the location of the house where he lived, because it is needed for treatment that never ends.

"Hyai Mardeh, my son is exposed to witchcraft" said Baidah, frankly.

"Let's take it inside, I'll make you a devil-fighting potion" replied Nyai Mardeh.

"Okay Nyai, I will stay here for a while" said Baidah.

"May, may, there be a special room for lodging" he replied.
