Chapter 8 - 8. A Poem of Heart Picker

"If you don't believe in the power of my poem, I will prove you now. You don't need to pay anything, you don't need to exchange anything, if my poem skills can't penetrate your husband's loving side towards you, Puan*," said Singgala, offering a taste of skill ability that she wanted to show.

"I will sing A Poem of Heart Picker for the husband that you desire. Please, say his name in your heart, Puan," without being asked, Singgala opened the long package to find it contained a tiny lute the size of two arms span. Melodious strains began to be played, as his fingers were busy plucking the lute strings.

....

I am the owner of the heart

Miss is not fond

Come!

To your charming heart

I am the exorcist of your desolate heart

Lord of romance, pick all love bear fruit soul of love

Bind my heart to you....

A gentle breeze flowed gently from all directions. The chanting of a love poem from the lute in Singgala's hand, turns increasingly orange in the bright afternoon. The eastern and western horizons are more captivating than usual.

At the end of the path, a figure appeared unexpectedly. Her husband, Lorr En. Carrying a bouquet of forest roses, as red as a rosy heart.

"Kanda?" hard to believe, Sakawuni felt on the verge of a dream early in the night. Meanwhile, the Lover Poet Girl, just sits on the rocks. Her arms stretched out the zither. A smile of success for her poetry, commenting on satisfaction.

"My honey wife ...," said Lorr En while holding out a bouquet of red roses. Awakening in an instant, Sakawuni was unconsciously pushed a step backwards. Not long ago Lorr was angry and seemed to throw her out of the river. Now, her husband arrives with lovely flowers in hand.

"Kanda?" Sakawuni took the bouquet of roses from Lorr's hand.

"Who are they?" noticing three strange women arriving, Lorr En watched them.

"They are my guests," Sakawuni answered briefly. Wanted to divert Lorr's suspicions immediately about the old witch in the form of a granny.

"Singgala and family," said Sakawuni, quickly took Lorr by the arm, heading for the terrace of the hut.

"Kakanda, I will serve them. Wait here, I will also prepare lunch," said Sakawuni briefly. Lorr En complied without asking more.

"I'm waiting for your delicious cooking, honey. I'm getting hungry," Lorr En begged a bit spoiled. Slightly stroking Sakawuni's hand, he was about to leave for a while.

Sakawuni's sunken smile completed the victory. She approached the three guests from the Yellow Witches again.

"Come in, I will entertain you," said Singgala politely and smiling.

"Singgala, your songs and poem are very magical, it's proven that Kanda Lorr En has become gentle with me," whispered amazement on the side of Singgala and the two women in her family. they entered the terraced terraced cottage. The dwelling was formed from a natural arrangement of wood and trees.

Singgala smiled kindly.

"Puan, I have a poem that is even more powerful than that. The song from the Lyrics of the Husband's Soul Binding. Any husband will melt his heart, is very obedient and cannot be away from her wife. Love until die forever. But before that, are you still willing to pay for my poem?"

"Adopt a baby of mine, is that what you want?" Sakawuni confirmed once again the intended exchange. The three Yellow Witches nodded in unison.

After being stunned for a while, Sakawuni finally nodded with certainty.

"Are you really going to take care of my son that you will adopt later?" asked Sakawuni again. That question was answered with a similar nod.

"Won't you waste him, won't you hurt him?" Sakawuni needs more convincing. The three Yellow Witches flashed smiles. The touch of Singgala's hand held Sakawuni's hand.

"I have also been a mother, losing my daughter, of course, is heartbreaking. I would be very grateful if you were willing to give us an adopted daughter or son," Singgala's bright, cheerful eyes convinced Sakawuni.

"All right, then. I will try to find a way to give you a son or daughter," Sakawuni finally agreed.

Once upon a time Sakawuni came to her husband. Then express the intention of adopting a baby.

"What?!" Lorr En rolled eyes. unbelieveable to hear what her wife said.

"Adopt one of our children?" Lorr En firmly shook her head in displeasure. A bowl of food was not finished eating, placed roughly on the table.

"I'll kick them out!" Lorr En was about to get up to chase away the three unwanted visitors, but Sakawuni was in a hurry to prevent her husband's hand.

"Darling, it's for our sake. They don't mean anything bad either," Sakawuni said stopping Lorr En.

"What deal did you make with them?" looked at his wife, Lorr En's tone curt.

"The energy of love and compassion is intact, we will have all of that," Sakawuni explained.

"We still have 99 children who need our undivided love and affection. The Yellow Witch has the ability for that," Sakawuni coaxed, twisting the real reason slightly.

"Yellow Witch?" sniffing suspiciously, Lorr En recalled what the people looked like.

"They work as occult and supernatural healers. That's all. They are helpers with their abilities in yellow magic," Sakawuni explained.

"How could I want my child to be raised by the Yellow Witch?!" completely unable to understand his wife's train of thought, Lorr En's head shook, throwing annoyance at the dining and drinking utensils. It's a mess.

"They are not evil wizards," argued Sakawuni.

"Wizards are still wizards!" Lorr En insisted, don't agree with his wife's wishes.

"My Husband, please I beg you ...," said Sakawuni, folding his hands in front of his face. So begging.

"No! I'll kick them out!" Lorr En adamantly refused.

"All right ... all right," said Sakawuni, giving in. Meanwhile Lorr En left with a raging heart.

Failing to persuade her husband, Sakawuni couldn't prevent Lorr En from finding the third yellow witch waiting in the living room.

"After you have finished your food, please leave my house. I'm sorry I didn't agree with my wife's wish to give us a child of ours," said Lorr En firmly without basis. The three guests responded calmly.

Lorr En avoided saying much to the three of them. He calmed down from home.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't persuade my husband," Sakawuni conceded. Singagala only smiled slightly in response to Sakawuni's husband's snap.

"No coercion, ma'am," said Singgala.

"Singgala, I …," said Sakawuni unpleasent.

Singgala turned and said, "I know your anxiety, let me help you. Follow my advice. Everything will go smoothly," Singgala's suggestion greatly influenced Sakawuni's mind.

"How can I take the baby without my husband knowing?" confused restless Sakawuni thought of an idea. Desperate to do other plans.

"How to?" thought Sakawuni. Singgala briefly whispered to him. After that, Sakawuni's face showed a tense silence.

"Will this work?" not sure Sakawuni will plan according to Singgala's whisper.

"After I get your child, I will sing the song Lover of the Husband's Soul," said Singgala.

"We're going first, in a few days, we'll come," Singala said, then handed me a small tied package. Sakawuni accepted without asking much.

"Give this in the next three days to your husband, you will know the benefits," Singgala said before leaving the place.

Sakawuni was silent. She opened the small package in her hand, presenting Singgala. Turns out it contained some white pills. What were the benefits, she do not know. But that pill-type scent, one could tell it was some kind of anesthetic.

"What's the point of Singgala's plan?" tries to believe in the Yellow Witch, guilting Sakawuni. But on the other hand, she needs the service of the Yellow Witch.

"I'm sorry, Kanda. I have to do this for our common good," Sakawuni said alone. Then she racked mind to get Lorr En to take the pill.

Until one day, Sakawuni and Lorr En were on the banks of the rocky river.
