Chapter 33: From within the Shroud 5 (Klampis Ireng)
The city of Reog or Ponorogo, is the origin of Reog art. Reog is a traditional dance in an open arena that serves as folk entertainment and contains magical elements.
The main dancer is a lion-headed person with a peacock feather decoration, plus some masked dancers and lumping horse riding.
After conferring with all his brothers. In the end Cak Dika and Rachel decided to go to Ponorogo. They took the train for five hours.
After a long time sitting in the car. Slowly the train stopped. The human voice of the station began to sound. Cak Dika and Rachel got off first from the train.
Then followed by Marsya, Bella, Laras and Aldo. Their eyes were greeted by a sea of humans there.
Some traveling salesmen began to pass around here and there.
From a distance saw a middle-aged woman with a trading basket carried on her head coming towards Cak Dika.
"Author, Mas?" ask the middle-aged mothers to Cak Dika.
Cak Dika turned his head towards the middle-aged woman then smiled greeting her. Cak Dika who happened to be taller than the mother was a little looking at some of the food that was being sold by the mother.
"Yes, we are immigrants! What to sell if I know?" answer Cak Dika.
The middle-aged lung woman then lowered her trade. He sells drinks and some snacks. Fried, nuts and crackers.
Cak Dika picked up some food and drinks there. He was thirsty and a little hungry. Jajan used to be here is okay, right?
The middle-aged woman seemed to notice Cak Dika and his entourage. From the way they dressed, the woman concluded that Cak Dika must have come from the city.
"Where are you guys going? Looks like you're not from here, are you?" asked the woman while looking at Rachel and her brother.
The station where they stand is in a rural area. According to what they've been looking for. Klampis Ireng is located near village A.
That's why they chose a train stop in this area as the distance to Klampis Ireng is quite close.
"There's one place we want to go here, Buk!" rachel answered the woman with a smile.
The woman nodded. It looks like Cak Dika is still cool chewing tofu in his mouth. Cak Dika did not answer that question. He prefers to listen.
"Where are you going?" ask Rachel again. Looks like this woman is really curious about Rachel coming here.
"We need to go to Klampis Ireng, Buk!" bella replied spontaneously. For a moment it made the woman surprised. But then the woman laughed.
It seemed that he could not believe that this youngster of Rachel's age and her entourage were going there.
"Hahahahaha." the woman laughed at Bella's reply.
Rachel and Marsya stared at each other for a moment. Then his gaze returned to the woman. They're confused here. For what reason are they being laughed at here.
"What do you do in Klampis Ireng, nduk? You guys are young. Klampis Ireng is a sacred place. It's some kind of firecracker!" obviously the middle-aged woman.
Hearing that explanation, Cak Dika swallowed the last food he chewed. Then he stood up while smiling towards the woman.
For him, the reason they came was not right. For this matter concerns two lives of others and disgrace. Hiding and telling the person in question is the right thing.
"There's something we have to get back there buk! Thanks for the dinner, it's delicious! Here's the money, the change is for mom. We'll excuse you, Assalamualaikum!" said Cak Dika say goodbye.
The middle-aged woman was only able to nod and let Cak Dika and his entourage go.
There were many human eyes that seemed to be taped to the roofs. The eyeballs were as if they were fused with the roof of the station. It's spooky! That's certain.
"Maps, there's a deck!" cak Dika answered and then took the candy skewer from his pocket and ate it.
Bella fiddled with her cell phone. There he began to find out the whereabouts of Klampis Ireng. But damn it, in this area the cell phone signal is lost.
"Sir, is this a hilly area or what? Why is there no signal at all?" bella said annoyed while still staring at the screen of her phone.
The Japanese Cak Dika suddenly stopped. Then he pulled out his phone too. When he opened his phone. He's ringing.
"Try checking all your phones!" cak Dika said to all his brothers.
Heard that order. They immediately checked their phones. They rounded their eyes while looking at the screen of their phone.
There is no signal at all. Five seconds later they were again shocked when their phones died simultaneously.
"Yes, shit!" cak Dika.
"Oh, so yes! That lady's reception that brought us here?" said Rachel while recalling the middle-aged woman who had fed Cak Dika.
"Damn him!" bella then put her phone back in her pocket.
"Sek, explain dong to me how can this happen?" ask Marsya who still does not fully understand about Nature next door.
"The food was deliberately given to Cak Dika. For it was Cak Dika who carried the amulet of the shroud. To trap Cak Dika into this dimension. That's not easy! They had to make Cak Dika eat something in order to be let down and brought in here!" clear Baras on Marsya.
After that explanation was said. People inside the station stopped. As if there was a break there. But Cak Dika and the others were still able to move. Only someone other than them was frozen here.
From up there, the roof of the station slowly turned dark. The atmosphere of the station slowly turned into large trees.
And the frozen humans slowly disappeared from their eyes.
The gusts of wind that hit them no longer felt. Silent, silent, no sound there.
"If you can't get out of here in two days! Then, you will be my food!" said one big voice that echoed.
Both Cak Dika, Rachel and the others turned their heads in all directions. They're trying to figure out where the sound came from.
But, in fact, there was no one there. Cak Dika then looked up right at the darkness that supported them.
"Hey maung! I won't be afraid of you! Because this is my area! I'm in charge here, my troops are here. If Nyai the Queen wants to declare war. Let's fight here! You think it'll be easy to get that back to my place? Nah! Those you protect will be my meal as well as yours!" said the big echo sound.
Aldo got a chill when he heard that. Laras who felt his lover's grip tightened also knew that Aldo was afraid at this time.
"Why should Al be afraid? He's lower than us! As long as we don't make a deal. He can't touch the soul of our lives!" clear Baras on Aldo.
Aldo turned towards Laras. Laras returned Aldo's hand tighter. Laras tried to strengthen Aldo's guts so as not to waver. Especially now that they were in the next Realm.
"Hey Dalbo!" call Cak Dika hard while staring up.
"Look yeah! Your fingers won't be able to touch us one bit. You're gonna lose, and then I'm gonna throw it where you don't even want to go. If you know our great-grandfather you should know that our words are never messing around!" cak Dika commemorates.
His head was strong when he said that. The thick fog slowly came. Making the area of darkness they were treading was foggy now.
