JAGRAK

Part-31 Mbalelo 2

         Apart from what she brought from the forbidden forest, there was one more thing she had to master to defeat the Leader. She had been taught by the Lord of the Forbidden Forest to turn her shadow into a thousand. A thousand shadows that can be transformed into the face of a thousand lives. In addition, she was also taught about medicine, poison, and antidote. That's why Nyai Sapu Jagat dared to leave a thousand lives in the forbidden forest.

         With what she had now, she could outwit the Leader and his minions. It was as if she still continued to carry a Thousand Lives with her. Only one thing to look for. For that, she had to go to the city of Tasik, to be imprisoned. A hermitage, which is better known by the people as pesarean.(1) This place used to be where Gusti Pangeran Zimat studied.

             PROHIBITED FOREST

             Present day.

              A beautiful woman is being dragged into the forbidden forest. Her hair that fell down to her ass looked disheveled. The dress she was wearing was slightly past her knees. Pure white feet, barefoot, looks charming. But it saddens her when her feet step on the forbidden forest courtyard which is still a virgin. Which in fact many sharp thorns and dry twigs scattered.

        Her feet started to bleed when he was stuck with sharp dry thorns and twigs that he accidentally stepped on. Her face grimaced in pain every time the soles of her feet stepped on something that hurt. Cold sweat wet the face and body. Maybe because she was half running to keep up with the steps of the man who was dragging her, as well as the fear that was whacking her.        Unknowingly her eyes began to water, she cried silently. Neither sobs. Her tears continued to flow into rivers. She struggled to free herself, but in vain. The man was clearly much stronger, this beautiful woman was no match for him.

      Her face was so scared, her mouth was gagged with a cloth that he couldn't make a sound. Only her eyeballs kept moving here and there. Disorganized, scared and confused, mixed into one.

               Anyone who looked at the man, would immediately be swallowed by a gripping fear. Because he's eyes, his eyes are no white at all. All is black, blazing, the flame is also pitch black.

        He continued to drag the woman into the forest. She fell several times but was able to get up again. The man continued to drag her without paying attention to the woman who was up and down.

      Over time, the woman's legs were no longer able to walk. She fell, unable to get up again, but kept being dragged. Her body slams hither and thither hitting anything in its path. Her face looked desperate. She had ignored the pain.

      "God, what did I do wrong? who is this man? why is he torturing me?”

        Her body was bruised here and there. There were deep wounds almost all over her body. Her clothes were also torn here and there. Torn by the branches and thorns that passed through his body. Blood seeped from every wound and tear on her body. This man dosn't care at all, still dragged on.

     "Where will I be taken?"

       She wanted so badly to pass out, to be free from the aches and pains. But somehow she kept awake.

       “If I were given the choice to die, I would choose death. This hurts too much!” she screamed in her heart, pitifully. This torment, made her pray for her life to be taken away.

       "God please forgive me, please just take my life," she groaned, still in his heart. He was no longer able to wriggle like before. Her energy is gone. She just surrendered wherever her body was dragged. Now she looked more like an undead.

        Over time, her body was no longer able to move. Only her eyeballs were still moving, irregularly. Fear and confusion still continue to dominate. While the man who dragged her was clearly satisfied with what he was doing. He smiled with satisfaction seeing his victim helpless. Seeing that his victim had not moved he was clearly overjoyed. The black flames in his eyes seemed to be fading. The jet black eyeballs also began to fade, the white between the black in the middle began to appear. Those eyes are so beautiful and charming. Although very sharp like an eagle but there is shade.

         He stopped under a large tree, releasing his grip. The woman was left lying, curled up helplessly. Only her rolling eyeballs swept around her. While the man looked at her intently. His gaze was hard to interpret. The next second, he crouched down and stroked her hair. His lips moved to speak, "you are mine now, so you will be here with me forever."

        The woman was getting scared. Unknowingly, her eyes started to water again. She stared with anger and hatred at the man who dragged her.

        "You are handsome, but I don't want to be yours!" she shouted in her heart, "my heart has no place for anyone, because my heart has been filled with my Kangmas." When her heart said 'kangmasku', her heart felt alive, as if there was an all-powerful power that entered her. Sneaking warms a frozen and desperate heart. When her heart has fully awakened she commands her brain to perform its function. Then the brain obeys the heart's command.

         The body that had been curled up suddenly stiffened. It was as if there was an electric shock of thousands of watts flowing through it. Her blood was boiling, her muscles tensed. Suddenly she got up and stood up, the man sitting beside her looked at her in astonishment and disbelief. Stunned he grabbed the woman's right hand, the woman stomped her hand, slapping the man's hand away. But something she didn't understand happened. She stared at the man's body in shock, blown away by a jolt of her hand. Then hit a big tree very hard. His body bounced and fell to the ground, motionless. She stared, not understanding what was really going on.
