Forgetting the important things


" Wayan, maybe what I will say will make you sad . But you have to be strong for Gayatri,"


" What happened to my daughter, Jo ? " ask Wayan Rasta with raised eyebrows. Wayan Rasta's current feeling was already not calm, as well as the others. Their hearts are already pounding.


" After I saw 'em, Gayatri's current condition is not very good. Maybe this month he will die" explained Jro Balian who immediately lowered his head.


Their eyes immediately widened wide to hear the words of Jro Balian (shaman ). Their tears just fell. Same with Gayatri. Even though it was like that, but he could still hear what Jro Balian said just now. The girl's tears spilled. The girl was so afraid of death. He was so afraid of the place he had seen his time in suspended animation.


Gandi's tears never stopped dripping. He doesn't want to see Gayatri leave him like he used to. Moreover, every day he was only with Gayatri. Wherever Gayatri goes, she always follows him.


" God, please don't take Gayatri . I'm not strong to leave. You better take my life 'as long as Gayatri is happy '" thought Gandi who kept crying.


" Wayan, it seems you forgot something so important that your daughter became like this" said Jro Balian as he looked at Wayan Rasta.


" What's important, Jo ? " ask Wayan Rasta who looks confused.


" Have you not done banten redemption ? People who have advantages such as Gayatri should be redeemed with a sacred bull up to three times. Redemption bantennya can be done for six months once or once a year until even three times. And the last one just did the mewinten ceremony. But you seem to forget that ? Because Gayatri has not been redeemed with holy banten so the situation is as it is today. Being hurt a little by the creature was already like this" explained Jro Balian.


Mewinten Ceremony is a yadnya ceremony that aims to cleanse yourself in a born and inner way.


They immediately fell silent to the words of Jro Balian (shaman ) . What Jro Balian said was true, they forgot about the important ceremony.


Gayatri's parents immediately blamed themselves for everything that happened to her daughter at this time.


" Yes, Jro. Will we be able to save our daughter if tomorrow we do the banten redemption ? " ask Luh Ani curiously. Her tears kept flowing after hearing everything. His heart was so sick to see the condition of his daughter as she is today. She might have lost her daughter. There will be no strong Mother to see her daughter gone for good . Especially if you see his daughter's body burned in front of his eyes.


" To do banten redemption must seek his good day. And you guys know that, right ? But for this month there is no good day," said Jro Balian who also felt sorry for Gayatri.


Their eyes were getting rounder hearing everything.


" That means my daughter can't be helped at all ? " ask Wayan Rasta. His body suddenly limp hearing everything. She thought her daughter's circumstances weren't this bad, but it turned out that her guess was wrong.


" Now no one will be able to help Gayatri . Right now only God can help her . You just pray, hopefully there is a miracle from God," said Jro Balian while patting Wayan Rasta on the shoulder.


Luh Ani who heard that immediately cried hysterically and fainted.

A few days later ...


Gayatri's been sick for a week. The girl's body is currently getting thinner . His face also grew pale like a corpse.


At this moment they were trying to smile in front of Gayatri. He was sure Gayatri was very sad to hear everything. Likewise with Gandi who always comforted Gayatri to smile.


This morning they were waiting for the arrival of a Jro Balian. And this is the seventh Jro Balian . All Jro Balian who came to his house, no one was able to treat Gayatri. And they say the same thing .
