Section 238: Hestia 2
Five friends and Lais had prepared everything needed to start investigating the well, a well that he said had many myths. Alka and the others would, as usual, gather information first, because whoever was in the well, could never be interrogated by them directly without knowing his weakness and who he was.
The easiest to call a soul or a genie is if we know its name, because if we know its name, they feel special and will eventually be easy to control.
This time they contacted a distant relative of Ganding who did live not far from the village, Ganding reasoned that they needed an area that they would observe for the construction of subsidized houses, ganding's relatives were delighted with the news of the project, because if the project was to go through, his relatives already knew how much he would be able to profit.
Although this is a lie, but Ganding has calculated the money he will give later to his relatives if this mission is successful.
“We'll see my relatives first, but he doesn't know who we are, so you guys have to be very careful. Remember we are contractors who get landers from the government and will build subsidized houses.”
After getting a briefing from Ganding, they finally agreed to start the journey, with angkot of course.
“Wah, the machine is new, Dit?” Hartino asked from behind, Ganding accompanying Aditia beside the wheel.
“Yes, I yesterday asked for the machine to be replaced, the body is released as is.”
“It dong, from yesterday it was very difficult I asked to change the engine, tired of knowing pushing the old car.” Hartino.
“Car my Father, forgot you guys he's the one who won your hard times!” Aditia is upset her favorite car is insulted.
“Ngot forget Dit, but in the past when you used, this car was not as bad as when held you.” Hartino and Ganding laughed, while Aditia remained annoyed.
Money was no longer a problem for him, as he had already received all the parts that were rightfully in Mulyana's inheritance.
Although his mother and sister did not know about it, but Aditia promised to be wise to use it.
Ganding helped him a lot to learn business and Hartino was certainly two people who took care of their company together.
“It's arrived, it's my relative, remember, he likes money, so don't get too upset yeah, we need his help.”
“Mang, how are you?” Ganding greeted kindly, she had indeed never met him for a long time.
“Good Ganding, these coworkers will take care of that housing?” Mang Yana asked, she looks sumringah, maybe the smell of money is already attached to her nose when she sees the arrival of Ganding and his friends.
“Iya Mang, this is known, this is Alka's Mother, she is the Architect who will design the housing, then this is Pak Hartino and Mr. Aditia, they are both project leaders, this is Ms. Jarni, he will take care of all the necessary logistics, then me, is the head of planning. Mang Yana already got the house we will live near the location we will build housing?”
“Iya Ganding, already. Hayu atuh, we're going to location.”
Mang Yana joined the invitation questionnaire, they rushed to the location they were about to go.
“This is home, not too big, but my wife and I have cleaned and there is already a mattress in the two rooms, later that women can sleep together, which men also.”
“Iya Mang Yana, thanks yes, this is enough kok.”
“Mang, this is quite remote yes, although it is still a city, there is an exciting story?” Hartino started fishing. It feels natural for new residents to ask this in Indonesia which is very thick with mystical things, let alone a new place for newcomers, Ganding smiled, the task is lighter, Hartino is indeed a reliable person.
“What exciting news is it, Sir?” Mang Yana did not understand.
“it loh, like prohibitions, for example we can not go out at what time, or can not say what word, mystical-mystical, sir.” Hartino simplified his words.
“Oh that's so exciting. But this is not exciting, nakutin instead, be careful yes, after Mamang storyain, you must be more introspective, do not be too arrogant in this village.”
“Iya Mang, let's take a look at the story.” Hartino was impatient.
“So like this, in the back of this village, if you walk about five minutes until, there is a well, the well should not be taken again water.”
“Why is that?”
“Ah, it's not exciting, kirain there is a demon in the well, it's just ordinary Mang story.” Hartino began to touch the self-esteem of people who like to gossip. Downplay their stories.
“Ya it's a story from a scientific point of view, if in terms of mystique, there's been a lot of hit, you will be scared. Trus not to be building a house in this village.” Mang Yana was in a trap.
“What's Mang for? The dirty water keeps getting sick?” The others laughed, as if mocking Mang Yana's story, Hartino was relieved, his friends were aware of what he was doing.
“Not so, she got ... gota ... Jandekan.”
“Hah? especially that? Name of waste from the factory near this village?” Hartino is still literate so that the information they need can be conveyed.
“Not atuh! Jandukan is like a sawan, but the hit ones, will really like the last place when they hit Jandinksa. Could be, the last place that's their location hit Jandiksa.”
“Well, this one is exciting Mang, so if you get hit by Jandekan he will be in the well continuously?” Hartino started to put on a serious face.
“Not, he would love to drink the water that was in that well, so infatuated with the water in that well and go a little crazy because of that water.”
Others pretended to shudder, for they could not possibly look brave.
“So there's Mang, who's crazy because of that well?”
“There was a Mr. Har, there were three people, yesterday the last was a big mess, he just got married a year, got Jandiksa, now he is in his footstool because every time he ran to the well to drink the water, he was still in the water, his wife is now pregnant, pity, the child has been meant for a year, uh pas pregnant, her husband even so.”
“Means the previous two have healed sir?” Hartino asked again.
“Not yet, they are pitted together in the goat pen we provide for the person affected by Jandekasan.”
“Wah Mang, it turns out that there is still such a culture, when this is not a lagging region, all have used smartphones, but why do they treat people like that?” The banding this time spoke.
“How else, if anyone wants to cure is attacked, pity, no one is able to cure them, because they are rude, even to their partner, no one can cure them, the wife of the last victim now had to evacuate to her parents' house in the next village.”
“Yasudah Mang, thank you for telling us the information, now we will be a few first, then rest and start observation of the region, ensuring that we can build housing in this village.” Ganding gently repels.
“Alright, remember yes, do not go to the well, fill your water to the brim if the water is there, but if you are forced to water is not there, you mening snooze until tomorrow morning.”
“Iya Mang, we will be careful.” Ganding closed their conversation and escorted the distant relative to the front of the house.
After the person leaves, they begin to roll out the white board, this board is hung in a place that is not easily visible to people, here they will begin to map the problem.
“I didn't know that this matter was as trivial as Mang Yana said. Hartino, why did you say the case wasn't too emergency?” Alka blamed Hartino.
“Iya sorry Ka, me and Lais yesterday did not go too deep investigating it, we think there were no victims who were shackled. It seems like this is only known by its citizens, it should not be known by outsiders, because the pairing of the person is a criminal act, making one's independence disappear, it is clearly a criminal act.
So we can not penetrate such information, if the authorities find out, it could be that all citizens are held accountable.” Hartino realised his mistake, as they should have split the team in half until the case was not protracted.
“Alright, then, now that we're going to spread out, Hartino and Lais you guys are looking again for information about the well, whatever it is, no matter how small, even if you have to spend money, everyone likes money.
Me and Aditia are going to visit the man who was put in the shackle, I want to see what kind of influence they got to become so fond of that watery smell.
Then Ganding and Jarni, you go to the well, get the water, I need to check something, but take the water without suspicion.
Alka and Aditia also rushed to meet three people who were in the pasung together. They wanted to see what influence made the three people become addicted to the rancid smelling water, whether there was a genie accompanying or just control of the genie in the well.
Hartino and Lais will be looking for more information and correcting their mistakes.
