The Three Chosen
318. Qiana ?
After a tiring corporate birthday celebration, all Erik's family members return home.
“ Today all happy because got a lot of gifts yes Opa...” Hanako said.
“ Yes Nak..,” said Erik with a smile.
“ But there is one person who seems agitated and does not enjoy the celebration today you know Pa..” said Farah.
“ Time anyway Ma. Who...?” asked Erik did not understand.
“ Izar...,” says Farah and Hanako together to surprise Erik and all family members.
“ Time anyway, why him..?” shera asked in disbelief.
“ Ga tau Ma. Izar looks like aja abis competed earlier. Though our team won you know..” Hanako said.
“ Maybe there is something else that makes him uncomfortable.” Faiq said while sitting next to Shera.
All nodded in agreement and did not discuss Izar's strange attitude anymore. They chose dinner while recounting the excitement going on in the company today.
\=====
Izar was visiting an old tomb in a road construction project. Izar got a report that the tomb could not be evicted even though it had used heavy equipment, even though the tomb in the vicinity had been successfully evicted without obstacles.
Izar observed the tomb carefully and was sure that the tomb was empty
buried there. The tomb, deliberately made for a particular purpose, has been inhabited by a kind of evil ethereal creature .
Izar tries to interact with the tomb-dwelling genie to find out what causes the subtle-creature to be reluctant
leaving the artificial tomb after a while trying finally Izar managed to explore the past of the artificial tomb.
Formerly the land around the tomb is still empty and is a garden planted with various kinds of fruits. The landowner's name was Ki Suta. He was a wise man who married a woman named Ami. Unfortunately Suta and Ami had no children until the end of their lives.
Suta and Ami live in harmony and love each other. Even without children, both are happy because everyone loves them. Both are known as generous people because Suta and Ami often share their garden products with relatives, relatives and neighbors.
Eventually, Ami died of illness. Even so, Suta continued his good habit of sharing their garden with relatives, relatives and neighbors.
The elderly Suta began to get sick and eventually died after five years of Ami's departure. Suta was buried in the family tomb next to the wife's tomb.
Suta's departure caused unrest among the Suta family. How not. Suta left a legacy
many of which are in the form of vast lands and treasures in the form of money that he would have used to go on Hajj with his wife. But because Ami and Suta left before they could perform the Hajj, the money was divided equally by the Suta family. The division of land will be taken care of later.
Ever since the landowner died, the land became a snatch for the Suta extended family. Because it always caused a commotion, finally by one of the village elders made a tomb in the middle of the garden. Initially the tomb was intended to remind the Suta brothers if all the contested treasures will not be brought to death. And the village elder also hoped that if the Suta brothers stopped the dispute because it would only harm all parties.
Hope does not match reality. When the Suta family saw the existence of a foreign tomb in the middle of the garden, they actually used it to perform perverted rituals. They also made the announcement as if the artificial tomb was a sacred tomb capable of giving wealth to anyone who came to perform rituals in that place.
The elder could do nothing even though he had explained that the tomb was an artificial tomb
it was designed to reconcile warring families. Unfortunately until the elder died, the sacred tomb remains a favorite place for residents to perform heresy rituals.
Because often held perverted rituals by including some tiger offerings, making artificial tomb becomes wingit and has a strong mystical aura. There was even a figure of subtle beings inhabiting the place and trying to mislead people. Although the land has been purchased by the government, but the existence of the tomb still hinders the construction of the road that is being worked on by Erik's company in collaboration with the government.
Izar let out a long sigh then rubbed his face. He stared at the mossy artificial tomb
annoyed look. After reading the prayer Izar also doused the artificial tomb with ruqyah water until the subtle creatures of the artificial tomb inhabitants were angry and came out to challenge Izar.
“ I don't want to go. Here is my kingdom, how could I leave it..” sahut the subtle creature with pride.
“ You are just a demon who misleads people, it's time you stop or I will destroy you.” Izar threatened.
“ Just try if you are able..” challenge the subtle creatures without that form.
Just as Izar was about to attack the demon, suddenly in the distance came the sound of cheers from the citizens who seemed to be in the middle
carrying a woman tied to her hands and feet. Residents took the woman to the artificial tomb where Izar was standing. The voice of the woman's screams and mockery was so loud that Izar frowned because he did not understand what the citizens were doing.
“ Let Go of Me. You guys are crazy..!” maki the woman loudly.
“ You should be able to neutralize the mystical aura in Kita village, because you are Ki Suta's beloved nephew.
“ What does Me and Ki Suta have to do with that weird ritual you guys do. Because I knew that during his life Ki Suta never performed the perverted ritual. You guys are making a mess why I should make it up...?!” asked the woman angrily while continuing to thrash.
Residents still continue to echo strange sentences to make the woman panic and more powerful thrashing.
“ Let Me go.., You are evil. I don't want to be the fall of your heretical science..!” the woman said she started crying as they almost arrived near the artificial tomb.
Izar who was standing near the tomb was seen staring at the entourage of residents. Then Izar loudly asked the citizens to release the woman.
“ Release the woman...!” Izar said to surprise the people.
“ Who are you, do not be pretentious to be a hero of bad luck deh. This is our business and it's good that you step aside if you don't want to be hit by reinforcements.” said one of the residents with a ketus.
“ Bala yes, I'm not afraid. Quickly release him or You will know the consequences..,” threatened Izar.
Residents who saw the decisiveness of Izar began to waver. They looked at each other so unfocused
the existence of the woman they were about to crush earlier. The opportunity was put to the best use by the woman by running away from the crowd of citizens.
One of the residents who realized their hostages were released also shouted to remind other residents.
“ She escaped, Qiana escaped..!” the resident said that to the surprise of others.
“ Pursue and arrest him. Don't let him get away with it because he's the only one who can throw bad luck in our village
this...,” said the leader of the citizens.
“ Qiana..?” muttered Izar while staring at the woman's running.
Hearing the name Qiana called made Izar surprised. But his common sense dominated until Izar also pursued Qiana with a different purpose. If the citizens pursue Qiana for wanting to subvert her, while Izar pursues Qiana to save her.
While in front there Qiana seemed to run down. He has trouble running with his hands tied backwards. Qiana's face was already wet with tears. Inwardly Qiana regretted her decision to come to visit the village.
“ If I knew this would be. I will not want to come here even though I was persuaded to use ten kilo grams of gold even once.” said Qiana upset.
The exhausted Qiana finally fell to the ground. He felt his whole body ache not a bitch. Qiana stopped her crying as she felt a hand pat her back.
“ O Allah, please save your servant O Allah.” ask Qiana while closing her eyes.
As Qiana turned her head she saw a man standing tall behind her with a murderous look. Qiana swallowed her saliva hard because she did not expect that her life should end in a foreign place.
