Mr. Sidik called Ze, and told her thatshe was contacted by a businessman to perform a death well attraction. "For private performances. Performance in Sambas, Kalimantan."
Mr. Sidik said that this was done by the entrepreneur to fulfill his daughter's request. Turns out, secretly, someone made a video about Death Well Girl and sold it. In essence, Mr. Sidik asked if Ze was willing to perform again. Ze has not answered the request.
"Not now, Ze, but later during school holidays," said Mr. Sidik.
Of course, special performances are expensive. If Ze accepts the request, she'll help the life of Death Wel's crew, including Grandpa TTS. The group of entertainers at the night market had been deserted long enough for their welfare to drop greatly. The golden opportunity comes, the key, if Ze is willing. Grandpa TTS was reluctant to call Ze, even though if this old man called and asked Ze to perform, it could be said that 95% of Ze would accept it.
Who takes Death Well Girl personally? Mr. Robby, a coal entrepreneur, who this year pays the largest national tax. Mr. Robby lives in Sambas, West Kalimantan. He said, Mr. Robby will pay dearly for this stage. The performance at Sambas, if Ze is willing to perform, will mean a lot.
Ze remembered her conversation with Grandpa TTS about the bad luck of Lendo, a former death Well crew who had almost harmed her by pulling out Blop's gas hose. Grandpa TTS said, now Lendo only has one leg. His left leg up to the knee was amputated because it was crushed by a truck loaded with cement. Lendo needs a prosthetic. The death well crew was about to make a prosthetic leg, but they ran into funds. Lendo no longer works for Mr. Sidik, resigns and becomes a brick-printing worker.
"Lendo did not have a work accident because when the accident occurred he was already out of work. Not with us anymore. Even so, Mr. Sidik still gave him compensation, which was actually enough to make a prosthetic leg. But at the time it was unthinkable. It's just that some time ago Lendo had the chance to meet us and ask for help getting a prosthetic leg. We can't answer it, it's difficult for us to eat everyday," said Grandpa TTS.
"If I accept the offer, I can take a vacation as well. I can take leave from the smell of chicken dung," Ze said to herself. Ze finally asked permission from her parents.
"Dad, tomorrow's school holidays Ze is going to Sambas."
"To Sambas? What's going on there, school picnic? How far away!" asked Haji Bod.
"Not a school picnic. Ze will perform."
"We thought you had forgotten about Deah Well Girl, why did it come back again. Your father and mother are already having fun because you haven't performed for a long time, uh, how come now it will be continued. Of course our hearts will burst," said Hajjah Bod.
"Please, allow Ze to perform at Sambas. After all, while the holidays are free. Ze didn't ask for pocket money. And, the show this time was sponsored by a coal company."
"This is the first time I knows there is a stage sponsored by a coal company, usually sponsored by coca cola or something else," said Haji Bod. For a moment Haji Bod looked at his wife. The wife didn't seem to mind. Since he did not spend money, his father allowed Ze to go to Sambas. "Okay, we allow it. But Father will meet Mr. Sidik to entrust you."
Hearing his father's words, Ze immediately hugged her parents. Ze then contacted Mr. Sidik if she was ready to perform.
"Thank you Ze, you are helping us again," said Mr. Sidik, pleased with his trembling voice with emotion. Mr. Sidik's plan is to give all of the income from Sambas to his employees. "Let them be happy once in a while."
A few days later his father met Mr. Sidik. Ze doesn't know what they are talking about, what is certain, of course, is that his father entrusted her to Pak Sidik because Sambas is not close.
"What are we going up there for?" Ze asked to Mr. Sidik. "Is it by ship?"
Mr. Sidik replied, "Transportation and accommodation are well taken care of by Mr. Robby. The crew went and home on an airplane."
"What about the Death Well stage?"
"The stage and support equipment are shipped first."
One day Mr. Sidik took Ze to meet Mr. Robby at the Ambarukmo Hotel, the businessman asked to meet Ze.
To Ze, Mr. Robby showed a photo of his daughter. A child in a wheelchair. Mr. Robby said that his daughter, Intan, had lymph cancer and it was suspected that her age is not long. "That's why all her requests, if I can still all her fulfill, I try to make her happy. It's just that since Intan saw Death Well Girl's performance, she wanted to see it in person. Her body was so weak that we couldn't possibly take her far away. So, we want Death Well Girl to performance at Sambas," said Mr. Robby.
"Mr. Robby, may I invite a friend?" Ze asked.
"Yes, you can invite all your friends," said Mr. Robby.
"I'm only going to invite one friend," Ze said.
The plan, she will invite Wewek. After the meeting with Mr. Robby, Ze contacted Wewek. She said that when the next holiday she would take her to Sambas. Hearing that Wewek was very happy.
"By the way, I know that you don't have an uncle in Sambas," Wewek said. Eh, already treated to a vacation, it's still annoying. She thought that the vacation should be at uncle's house. When Ze confesses that she will be performing as Death Well Girl, Wewek is surprised, but she has no interest in canceling joining Ze. She never wanted to see Ze's performance, was horrified, afraid that something would happen to Ze. But about this free vacation is a golden opportunity that should not be wasted. To Wewek, Ze advised that it be kept secret from other friends.
Ze forgot about Blop's fate. Will Blop be on board the ship with other equipment? Ze contacted Mr. Sidik and asked for permission so that her motorbike could go with the plane. It turned out that her request was approved, because Ze would only perform if riding a Blop. Ze takes Blop to Om Yo's repair shop to have it serviced.
From Grandpa TTS, about the performance at Sambas, Ze got a story that Death Well's crew members were very happy. "Never imagined we would be able to board an airplane. Going and going home, means taking airplanes twice," said Grandpa TTS, laughing happily. Oh, how happy it is to make others happy.
School holidays are here. Sambas had been waiting for her death stage. On the day of departure, all crew were already at Adisucipto Airport, Yogyakarta. Ze was accompanied by her parents, as well as Wewek. Amazingly, it turned out that the plane that would take them was a chartered plane, especially for them. Amazing, like a Hollywood celebrity. The chartered plane took off and split the sky towards Pontianak. The plane will land at Supadio Airport. When they arrived in Pontianak, they did not continue their journey because they were staying at a luxury hotel. Truly a picnic.
Only the next day, the journey continued with a very luxurious bus. Meanwhile, Blop was raised by a box car. Their journey passed Siantan, Mempawah, Seikunyit, Sungaiduri, Singkawang, Selakau, Pemangkat, Tebas, and had just arrived in Sambas. Very tiring. But Ze accidentally didn't sleep because she wanted to see the scenery.
"It turns out, Indonesia is very broad," thought Ze.
Arriving in Sambas, they were greeted by Mr. Robby's family in a magnificent house, like a palace. Ze see Intan sitting in a wheelchair and looks happy. There are doctors and nurses nearby. Mr. Robby's daughter pointed at Ze. Mr. Robby waved his hand for Ze to come closer. Ze meets Intan. The girl immediately hugged Ze, of course Ze was surprised, but Ze hugged her back.
"How's my sister doing!" Zee exclaimed. Intan is very happy. Because she has seen Ze's deadly attraction films so many times, Intan feels that she has known her for a long time.
Mr. Robby whispered to Ze, "She's been in bad health for the past few days."
"Death Well Girl sister, what's your name?" asked Intan.
"Ze!" Intan laughed happily and took out a replica of a motorbike racer from her shirt pocket.
"I like seeing Sis Ze jump off the stage of the demon barrel, it's not computer engineering right?" Ze answered by shaking his head. "Where's big sister's motorbike?" Ze pointed to the box car. It just so happened that Blop was being taken down.
"Right, that's it! I'm like a dream!" cried Intan. Today she is really very happy.
That same day, the death well crew set up the stage, but there was not enough time so it continued the next day. Ze and Wewek were asked by Intan to sleep in her room. Intan seemed to not want to part with Ze. When Intan and Wewek fell asleep, Ze came out and headed for the stage. Some of Mr. Robby's people helped Grandpa TTS and his friends clean the stage.
Ze saw nine strange people. Their skin is different from the others. Yes, their skin is reddish like a baby's skin. They are just watching from a distance. Ze asked someone, Mr. Robby's men, "Who are they, sir?"
"Oh, you see them too?" asked the person Ze asked. "I thought only I could see them."
"It means?"
"They are not human like us. They are spirits," said the person who later Ze knew named Mr. Bentangah. That made Ze curious. From Mr. Bentangah, Ze got a story that actually Mr. Robby's child is not only Intan, there is Intan's brother named Pandu, it's just that the eldest child has been kidnapped by spirits. Since losing her brother, Intan is depressed and sick.
Mr. Bantangah said, "This place is not far from a magical land called the Land of Paloh."
This magical land is located in Paloh District, Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan which is bordered by eastern Malaysia. "The government system of a magical land is no different from the human world. The country of Paloh is led by a king named Prince Sandi. There are frequent kidnappings of several residents by the inhabitants of this magical land. It's just that, he said, those who were kidnapped were people who were considered to be disturbing the magical land."
"Why was Pandu kidnapped?"
"At that time he was camping with his friends. The children of the rich, their friends are also the children of the rich, who were educated abroad. They, perhaps, ignore politeness, or do other things, which are considered disturbing citizens of the land of the unseen. When I joined the SAR team looking for them, I only found traces of a large rock that they had painted over, and the remains of a fireplace. The seven teenagers were never found and there is no trace of them. Lost. Mr. Robby has asked psychics for help to find his son, but it always fails."
Ze also got another story, that where they are often appear spirits. Its appearance is often witnessed by residents. However, what is shocking is the appearance of a metropolitan city in the wilderness. It doesn't make sense, because apart from being a wilderness it is also a swamp forest.
In the 1970s, an Indonesian Air Force plane disappeared with its crew and passengers while passing over the Paloh area. Allegedly, the plane crashed into Bukit Melintang, but when deployed by the SAR team, nothing was found. Surprisingly, the midwife who was on the ill-fated plane often visited her husband and child, but then left again. Likewise, other flight crew members came to their families and said they had become citizens of the State of Paloh and could not return to the human realm again.
"The plane has crossed the forbidden area of the State of Paloh. Flying at the center point of the unseen city," said Mr. Bentangah, "the plane was pulled by the rulers of the State of Paloh so as not to harm the residents. The victims who disappeared from the ill-fated plane did not die, they just took them. The victim is not allowed to return to the real world, if he returns he will die. In fact, it often happens, the kidnapping of virgin girls, and residents believe it was carried out by the supernatural beings of the land. Like humans, there must be evil in their world too."
Suddenly, the nine strange people helped set up the stage. All of that caught the attention of Ze and Mr. Bentangah. But Mr. Bentangah asked Ze not to show her suspicions to them. The supernatural creature has turned into a human and helps work, only when offered food, drink, or cigarettes, no one is willing. When the stranger said goodbye, Mr. Bentangah pleasantly invited them to see the deadly attraction. They said yes, they would come and see.
Ze found their bags that were left behind, when she followed, the people were gone. They haven't even been gone a minute. Mr. Bentangah asked her to stay away from the stage. The bag was opened. What's in it? There are small krisses, haircuts, pieces of animal skins, and unusual objects. Will they do any harm? Ze is worried that they are ridden by UWe people, if that happens it could be dangerous.
The long awaited moment has finally arrived. Ze was ready with Blop at the bottom of the Death Well stage. Grandpa TTS accompanied her. Ze looked up at the stage, looking at the audience. Intan is in a special place and holding a handycam. Ze also saw nine strangers in the audience, and Mr. Bentangah continued to monitor them. Ze prays that she can pull off the stage like she used to. The Blop was started, before the Blop had been preheated by the Death Well crew. Blop roared to say hello, the audience cheered.
Ze put on her helmet and started to drive. For a while it circled at the base of the stage, before finally, Blop's wheel circled the stage. Reeng...! Regg...! Blop's voice was deafening. The faster it went, the faster the Death Well Girl spun around, and after a while it was only a shadow, because it was so fast. Until the time Ze was at the end of the stage.
Very thrilling moments. Keeping spinning, Ze came out of the demon barrel stage like a flying top. Everyone held their breath, in fact their hearts momentarily stopped beating. After flying for a while, Ze re-entered the stage. But it made the pounding continue because the motorbike did not go straight to the stage but landed on the end of the stage board and circled the lip of the stage. The audience had to stay away a bit. After that Ze entered the stage.
The nine foreigners who were watching, apparently didn't just watch, one of them, quietly, spread a powder that resembles salt onto the stage. All of that became Mr. Bentangah's observation, what did the mean by doing that? But moments later Ze realized that Blop was losing strength, even though she didn't mean to stopthe attraction. The engine is still running but the Blop speed keeps dropping. Blop's chain has broken! Fortunately, Ze quickly mastered the situation so he could control Blop to remain stable until it finally stopped.
"What is it?" asked Grandpa TTS.
"Blop's chain is broken, Grandpa!"
"Masha Allah, thank God you are safe!" Ze herself was surprised, why it broke the chain when Om Yo, the mechanic, had repaired it. It's just that Mr. Bentangah immediately informed Ze that the incident had something to do with a foreigner throwing a strange powder onto the stage.
In that case, the foreigner was part of the UWe clan who kept on targeting her. But they are citizens of the State of Paloh.
"If that's true, I'll make the calculations," said Ze. "Mr. Bantangah, I will perform again. If possible, if they act strange again, arrest them because I will meet the ruler of the unseen land."
Mr. Bentangah gaped at Ze's words. The Death Well crew works to replace Blop's broken chain. As a filler, some of the Death Well crew performed attractions on bicycles. When the Blop chain is complete, Ze is ready to hit the road again. But, now, she is also preparing to enter the supernatural realm to meet Hidr. This time Ze was smooth, including jumping off the stage. But without the audience knowing, when Ze returned to the stage, it was only Blop left. The rider is already in another dimension.
"Mr. Hidr, is it true that there is a magical land called the Land of Paloh?" asked Ze, when he met a figure marked alif.
The figure didn't answer, remained silent, and signaled for Ze to follow him. They were riding in a white cloud. This time Ze felt that he was not in an underground supernatural realm, but on the surface of the earth. It wasn't long before they arrived in a big city, a very active metropolis. Hidr didn't say anything, just asked Ze to go around the city.
"This is the land of Paloh, one of the magical lands on earth," said Hidr. One of? If so there are many magical lands? "As many countries in the human world." Not only that, Hidr seems to be close to Prince Sandi, the king of the magical land, so he invites Ze to go to the king's palace. Apparently, Hidr was very well known by the royal court because he was friendly and had no trouble meeting the king.
"Prince Hidr!" cried Prince Sandi, who was in a hurry to welcome Hidr and Ze. Hidr and Prince Sandi hug. "Long time no see you."
Ze remembers that Hidr also comes from a magical land, the Holy Land, and is on a special task to stem the expansion of the UWe nation.
"Who is this girl?"
Hidr explains who Ze is. The King of Paloh smiled hearing that. Friendly king. Prince Sandi told that his country was in trouble with the escape of nine high-profile convicts from a special prison. "We have a hard time catching them because they always run to the human realm. If we force ourselves to arrest them, we are afraid that this will create disharmony between the land of the supernatural and the land of humans. Because the nine inmates now work for a shaman, and are ordered to commit crimes."
Ze remembered the nine foreign figures who saw the stage. "Prince, is it true that there are humans who become citizens of this country?" Ze asked.
"Right. Some voluntarily and some we forced. Quite a number of our citizens are married to humans, so that their wives or husbands volunteer to become our citizens. Whereas people who have evil intentions against our country are detained, after their detention period is over they are not returned to the human world because they can be dangerous."
"Are there seven youths among those detained, and one of them is named Pandu?" Ze asked.
Prince Sandi reunites Ze with the minister of security in charge of human prisoners. That's right, Pandu and his friends were in this magical land, being prisoners undergoing forced labor because while camping they had damaged the stone inscriptions of the State of Paloh.
"Can they be forgiven and return to the human realm?" Ze asked.
The defense minister did not immediately respond. "If they return to the human realm, they die. Unless there is an exchange," said the minister. Exchange? "If it is exchanged for prisoners who escaped to the human realm then we will consider it, they return to the human realm alive. Are you up to that condition?"
Ze nodded. She thought, this was for Intan and Mr. Robby's family, after all, she had caught the nine inmates of the magical land who had escaped. They might still see the show.
"Mr Hidr. The nine inmates were watching my attraction. Hopefully they're still there. Can we go there?" Ze asked.
Hidr agreed and said goodbye to Prince Sandi. In an instant they were already on the demon barrel stage. The Blop was still going on without passengers, but no one could tell because it was traveling at speeds beyond the limits of the human eye.
"Mr.Hidr, it's them, whose skin is different from human skin," Ze said while pointing at the crowd of onlookers. Ze and Hidr remained in the supernatural dimension so that no one saw their presence except the nine supernatural citizens. Knowing Hidr's arrival they fled.
Mr. Bantangah seemed to follow them but eventually lost track because the nine alien figures ran into the astral realm. When Hidr and Ze got close to them, there were explosions as they threw weapons that looked like grenades. Since the weapon was made to deal with humans it was useless in the supernatural, Hidr was unaffected by the explosion. Meanwhile Ze was shielded by a shroud of light so that the fragments of the bomb hit the armor and Ze's body was unharmed. One by one, the citizens of the magical land were captured by Hidr and put into a magic balloon and then taken to the palace of the State of Paloh.
"May the King release the seven young men who were detained, and these nine prisoners in exchange," said Ze.
Prince Sandi asked the courtiers for consideration, then said, "We accept your request. We will return the youth to the human realm, however, we will revoke their memory of this supernatural world so they don't tell other people so they don't invite others to disturb our country."
After that Ze was returned by Hidr to the human realm. While Hidr himself still lives in the State of Paloh. Ze was already in Blop's saddle and sped up the demon barrel stage. Ze reduced the speed of her motorbike so that Blop slowed down and finally stopped at the bottom of the stage. However, after she stopped, there was an uproar as there were seven youths huddled at the bottom of the stage. Grandpa TTS was also very surprised by the incident.
"Who are they?" exclaimed Grandpa TTS, very surprised.
"Bro Pandu…!" shouted Intan.
The seven young men squirmed as if they had just woken up. They were surprised when they realized they were in a strange place. The appearance of the seven youths was a miracle. Ze kept it a secret, only that Mr. Bentangah secretly thanked her for bringing them back.
"Dozens of psychics have been brought in, but to no avail. Meanwhile, you who are still very young managed to bring them home," whispered Mr. Bentangah.
Mr. Robby's family, as well as the other six families, are very happy for the return of their children. After finishing the stage, Ze and the group said their goodbyes. Intan hugged Ze while crying, not wanting to let go. Ze joined in the emotion.
"Does Sis Ze want to be my sister?" Ze nodded. "Like a sibling?" Ze nodded again. Only then did Intan release her hand.
They also returned to Yogyakarta by chartered plane. Ze hopes that Pandu's return will be a miracle cure for Intan. A few days later Grandpa TTS informed that the death weel crew had bought a prosthetic leg for Lendo. He said Lendo said a thousand thanks while crying. Forgiveness is beautiful, soothing to the soul. "When are you performing overseas, Ze. I will come along," said Wewek. (*)
