JAGRAK

Part-32 Mbalelo 3

                  Moments later she's realize. Hesitantly she stepped out of the place. One leg was apparently numb. Dragged with the help of hands. There was one thing she wasn't really aware of. She has used knowledge without her knowing it. A very rare science. This knowledge is based on the strength of the heart. The heart that is able to command the brain so that it does its function properly. When the body is completely paralyzed, with the power of the heart, it is able to make the body have strength again. This rare science is called the science of 'Pangrekso Rogo'. She didn't know that she managed to use it.

              The beautiful woman kept dragging her body looking for a way out. In fact she did not know which direction to take. She just followed her heart, kept moving forward. Very dense forest conditions make it difficult to determine the direction. The leaves were so dense that the sunlight could not penetrate the depths of the forest. Everywhere is just foggy.

             The tall thickets, taller than her height, made it even more difficult. With her hands she parted the thicket in front of her, broke the branches and continued to move forward. She didn't care about her limp body. Moreover, the wounds on the soles of the feet continued to bleed. It gives off a very very sore feeling. But because of her very strong spirit to get out of the forest, she didn't care. The goal is only one, get out of there, as soon as possible.

             She stopped walking when she realized her body hit something. Something she couldn't break through. She brushed the bushes in front of her. Obviously the soil mixed with hard gravel is in front of the eye. she looked up to see what she was thinking.

              "That's right, it's a very high cliff, almost touching the sky." she said quietly, in disbelief. She swept his gaze around her. But the thick fog blocked the view. Finally she decided to come back. Returning was very easy for her. She just needed to follow the path she had just walked.

             Now, she returned to her original place, the man was still lying there. She just looked at him for a moment. Then start walking in the opposite direction from the previous direction. This time the path was easier, the further she walked the clearer the forest was without shrubs. Only big black trees with 'nagging' splits. Indicates that the trees are very old. Maybe hundreds of years older than her. The deeper you go, the clearer it is without shrubs, not even grass growing. There are only dry leaves scattered. The woman quickened her pace.

            She dragged her body even more excitedly. But she started to feel something was wrong, the further she walked the fog grew thicker. The air is getting colder and colder. The woman continued to drag her body out of curiosity at the end of her steps. She wanted to quickly find an answer to her curiosity. She no longer paid attention to the black fog that was getting shorter and shorter. Likewise, the air is getting colder and colder. As if to freeze blood. It eats away at the muscles and bones. Her teeth began to chatter against the freezing air.

               She began to realize what she was going to face ahead, as she began to feel the wind blowing harder and harder. The woman began to slow down, and looked very alert. Because the visibility is no more than two meters. Suddenly she stopped in her tracks, trying to balance her wobbly body. She almost fell into the abyss right in front of her. Just one step and her life is at stake. Had she not stopped immediately, her body would have floated into the abyss.

             When she was able to control herself, she slowly retreated from where she was standing. Three steps back he immediately turned around, if away from that place. Because she didn't mark the path she was on, without realizing it he had stepped in the wrong direction.

            She continued forward, he was so sure that he was heading to where he was. I don't know why his heart regretted leaving that place. He missed the place so much, “I just wanted to sit and lean against that tree. I want to lean on tired." He kept walking but couldn't find the place again. It was dark when he was no longer able to walk. But he kept pushing himself. Until finally, he staggered, collapsed and did not move anymore. Curled irregularly.

            A black shadow grabbed him by grabbing his hair. Then he slowly dragged the woman's body.            Sreeeeek...., sreeeeek....., His steps were very slow. He doesn't seem to have much energy either. Until the steps are very slow. Every now and then he stopped to catch his breath. Then continued to drag the woman's body away from where she was curled up, even though it was very heavy she continued to force herself. I don't know what made her so adamant.

           Sreekkkk....,.sreeekkkkk...., the sound of the woman's body rubbing against the dry leaves. But somehow, his voice sounded scary. The air is getting colder and colder. The night was completely dark, as dark as the darkness that enveloped the forbidden forest. 

                                                                             *******       

                      Sapu Jagat closed the book she was reading, "I don't know, why do I feel my whole body hurts, as if I'm experiencing what the woman in this book is going through?"  Her face was dazed as she realized her clothes were in tatters. Panicked she was, she stood up and examined her entire body. She fell to the ground, her whole body was injured, in every wound blood seeped from between the clothes. Her body was also bruised almost all over her body.

               At the same time, a man dressed in white was already standing in front of her. "Pangrekso Rogo has found his owner again," he said softly, as if he was talking to himself. He smiled happily, glanced briefly at Nyai Sapu Jagat. Ignorant he grabbed the book that Sapu Jagat had read, slowly opened it page by page. His smile widened, the book was empty without writing. He put it back in its place and walked away. Sapu Jagat, who had been staring at him unblinkingly, came to her senses. Immediately got up and hurriedly chased after him, "where did he go, why did he disappear so quickly?" She looked for the man almost all over the cemetery area, but he couldn't find him.
