Black magic is very dangerous.

A week later…

That morning, in the cave hidden behind the waterfall, Nyi Laras and Endah were meditating without clothes. They had been there for a week, taking the spiritual ritual seriously to avenge Ki Arya's death.

When Nyi Laras opened her eyes, she observed the silent surroundings, with only Endah still sitting in meditation in front of her. Then she focused on Endah's face and noticed the changes that had occurred. "Haha… wake up, Endah. You've successfully mastered Panah Asih," said Nyi Laras while laughing merrily.

Endah fluttered her long, black eyelashes as she looked at Nyi Laras' face full of confusion. "What about Ambu? Did I succeed?" asked Endah with doubt on her face.

"You did it, my child, put your clothes back on, we're leaving for Jakarta to avenge Abah." Nyi Laras said as she picked up her clothes that were neatly arranged next to her.

In a hurry, they put their clothes back on, their facial expressions full of excitement as they stared at each other. After dressing again, they walked through the narrow path located near the waterfall, a steep path that could not be seen by ordinary people, as a shortcut to save time on the way back home.

Thirty minutes later.

After passing through the small path, Nyi Laras and Endah finally arrived home. "Pack your clothes," said Nyi Laras as she walked to her room. Without speaking, Endah could only follow her mother's orders and go to her room.

Inside the room, Laras sat on the floor while packing a few pieces of clothing into a tote bag. However, her facial expression looked blank as she placed the clothes into the bag.

"This is a special moment for me to break free from Ambu's control." Endah thought with a smile of satisfaction on the corner of her lips. She hurriedly packed her clothes and walked out of her room to the living room.

"We're leaving now." Nyi Laras said with a tense face that she was standing in the doorway of her house, and Endah immediately approached her while answering, "Already, Ambu." Nyi Laras smiled broadly as she turned toward the courtyard, and Endah again showed her obedience as they walked down the path of soft soil.

While they were walking, Nyi Laras picked up some leaves from the wild grass and put them in her tote bag. Endah could only shake her head as she watched Nyi Laras' strange behavior.

"Semilir angin ngabantun sarta menyatukeun tresna urang kalawan rajakaya anu henteu kawates,ngan diri kuring anu engkau cinta,lupakan wanoja sanes" Nyi Laras said as she glanced at Endah. "Remember this magic spell! When you meet the man you desire, but only for Gilang," Nyi Laras gave the words of a magic spell to captivate a man's heart.

Endah walked on while remembering the words said by Nyi Laras, and before they knew it, they had reached the village intersection, where there were several motorcycles parked regularly and men of different ages sitting on their respective motorcycles.

A middle-aged man asked, "Need a ride?"

"Sure, sir, to town." Nyi Laras replied.

"How about fifty thousand per person?" said a middle-aged man.

"That's fine." Nyi Laras said without bargaining for the price of the delivery service, and the middle-aged man looked happy to get an uncomplicated passenger. "Budi, take this mother's child." The middle-aged man said this to his friend next to him.

"Ready," replied Budi quickly as he pushed his motorcycle so Endah could get on, and it didn't take long for the two motorcycles to start moving together, leaving the motorcycle driver base towards the city.

The two motorbikes carrying Nyi Laras and Endah arrived at the inter-city public transportation station. Nyi Laras picked up two wild leaves that she had picked while walking and gave them to a middle-aged man. "Thank you, ma'am," said the middle-aged man with a smile on his face as he handed one leaf to Budi. "Thank you, Neng; I hope you reach your destination safely," Budi said happily while storing the leaves in his jacket pocket.

Endah found it very amusing, and she replied with a smile. "Stay calm when you arrive at the base." Endah's words were very mysterious to the man who was riding with her, but Nyi Laras immediately muffled them while looking at Endah with a sharp gaze, then pulled Endah's hand quickly to leave the two motorcycle men.

Two middle-aged men looked at each other and asked, "What do they mean? Are we in danger?" Budi asked his partner, "Don't worry, it's just a joke; let's go home." Budi's friend didn't pay much attention to Endah's words, and the two left the terminal on their respective motorcycles.

"Watch your mouth! Don't repeat it again, got it!" exclaimed Nyi Laras with a displeased face at Endah's words to the motorcycles' driver, Yes, Ambu, sorry." Endah replied as she walked beside Nyi Laras without daring to contradict her words.

"Ambu used magic on helpless people; surely they will feel very disappointed when the money turns back into a piece of leaf." Endah thought to herself as she looked back, but the two motorcycles men were no longer at the terminal.

Nyi Laras stepped over while reading the instructions written on the board, then she asked a man in front of a large bus. "Jakarta, sir?"

"Yes, ma'am, just get on; it will be leaving soon." The man replied, and Nyi Laras pulled Endah's hand to get on the bus to Jakarta.

Nyi Laras and Endah sat next to each other on the bus, and although they felt hot, they endured the situation for 15 minutes. Nyi Laras seemed to be having a hard time enduring the heat and the smell of the other passengers' sweat. She moved her hand outside the bus window while gesturing to the man standing at the front of the bus, but the man seemed not to notice Nyi Laras' hand gesture.

"Get in!" shouted Nyi Laras. The man was startled, and immediately his face became expressionless. Then he moved towards the bus steering wheel door, his eyes staring straight without blinking as he started the bus. The bus driver was like a machine controlled by its owner.

The gazes of the other passengers were fixed on Nyi Laras, hearing the whisper of a fat woman that Nyi Laras managed to hear with abilities beyond the ordinary human mind. This made Nyi Laras' face look uncomfortable when she heard the words.

She looked at the middle-aged woman who had a large body. With a sharp look in her eyes, Nyi Laras gave a black magic suggestion to the fat woman in her heart, "You must jump off the bus immediately."

The woman immediately got up and headed for the bus door. Without realizing it, her hand immediately grasped the handle of the car door.

"Ma'am, don't open the door!" a man exclaimed, trying to stop her, but unfortunately, she ignored his call. The overweight woman jumped out of the bus.

A minibus slammed into the fat woman's body with force, sending her flying far forward and her body crashing onto the asphalt road as she rolled around.

"Au!" screamed the passengers on the bus while covering their faces, the condition of the fat woman's body was unbearable for humans with small guts to see.

The veiled woman who was the fat woman's friend shouted, 'Sir, stop!'

However, the woman who shouted did not get the attention of the bus driver, who was being driven by Nyi Laras. "Sir, stop!" The other passengers shouted in the hope of getting the bus driver's attention, but their efforts were unsuccessful.

"SHUT UP!" exclaimed Nyi Laras quickly and instantly all the passengers became silent with reactionless faces.

Despite several cars following behind it, the bus moved at high speed. The bus driver continued to ignore the repeated honking of car horns to tell him to stop.
