Andini was terrified and shivering. She had just been bathed in a concoction of seven different flower waters at the stroke of midnight on Tuesday Kliwon, an inauspicious time in Javanese belief. Her body was only covered by a sarong up to her chest and still wet. She shivered, having been in the dark backyard of Mbah Karso's house for about an hour. Mbah Karso had gone inside, saying she didn't want to interfere with the arrival of Andini's future husband, a mystical being who would ensure her perpetual virginity and drive men wild with desire. Andini couldn't back out now; the ritual was already underway. She could only wait for her destined spouse.
The night breeze lulled her with its coolness, and Andini’s eyelids slowly fluttered closed, unable to resist the embrace of sleep. But they sprang open when she felt a hand grasp her foot. Andini gasped. She was no longer in Mbah Karso’s backyard. She was in a room awash in red, lying on a deep crimson bed. The man holding her foot smiled at her bewildered expression. She never expected this "genderuwo" to be so handsome. She had imagined a hideous, monstrous entity, terrifying to behold.
"Don't be afraid, my future wife," the handsome man whispered. "I have come for you."
"Y-you're my future husband?" Andini stammered, his sharp gaze sending shivers down her spine.
"Indeed! My name is Seno. Call me Kakang Seno," he whispered, gently pushing her back onto the bed.
Andini's wide, innocent eyes met Seno’s, dark and deep as if concealing ancient secrets. Their intensity intimidated her into silence. She couldn't bear to look for long at Seno, who, despite his captivating beauty, emanated an aura of power.
Andini surrendered to Seno's intoxicating touch. His hands moved over her body with a blend of gentleness and urgency, sending shivers down her spine. His tongue explored her most intimate places, stealing her breath and voice. It was an experience unlike any she had ever known.
Andini was used to rough handling from the men who paid for her body. They were always in a hurry, eager for their own satisfaction and a quick second round. Their encounters were a blur of bodies, driven by lust and bound by the terms of their transactions. She endured, her body a mere vessel for their desires.
What Andini didn't know was that Seno was consuming every single one of her ripe eggs, ensuring she could never conceive his child. She would remain infertile, her most essential essence devoured. Andini, oblivious to his true intentions, simply reveled in the sensations he evoked. Had she known, a part of her might have been grateful; she wouldn't have to face another agonizing decision about an unwanted pregnancy. She already had enough burdens.
Taking care of her mother, Bu Semah, and her younger sister, Salsa, was a responsibility she could ill afford, yet couldn't escape. It was her duty as the eldest, their sole provider. Yogi, her brother, was unreliable, more burden than support.
"Eeeemmm, aaaahhh," Andini finally moaned as something immense filled her.
"Hooooh, hooohh," Seno gasped, overcome by pleasure.
Andini was startled by the deep, guttural sounds escaping him, so at odds with his refined features. But when she opened her eyes, he looked the same – impossibly handsome, his six-pack abs igniting a fire in her belly. Never had she encountered a man as attractive as Seno. Her usual clientele were old and driven by a desperate hunger for youthful flesh.
...****************...
Pak Lurah's place was abuzz with excitement. The wedding celebration was in full swing, the rhythmic beat of the "dangdut" music from the live band pulsating through the air. Young and old alike gathered, caught up in the festive atmosphere.
Andini, however, sat quietly, scanning the crowd. Her eyes searched for a wealthy man, someone who could shower her with money. It was also the perfect opportunity to confirm the rumor – to see if the genderuwo's claim of restoring her virginity held true.
"I have some herbal tightening medicine if you need it," Siska whispered conspiratorially.
"No, thank you, Mbak," Andini declined.
"Just take it. I bought extra, just for you to try," Siska insisted. She was closest to Andini, privy to her anxieties.
Finally, it was Andini’s turn to sing. Dressed in a sleek black dress, she commanded the stage, her beauty a stark contrast to her mediocre singing voice. But the men in the audience didn't care. They cheered and whistled, mesmerized by the allure of the "Serindu Hati" band's vocalist.
"She’s available if you’re interested," whispered Juragan Mus to Mawi, Pak Lurah's guest from the city.
"Really? This village girl has piqued my interest," Mawi replied, his eyes glued to Andini.
"Just approach her after she finishes singing. Trust me, she won’t refuse," Juragan Mus assured him, a knowing smirk playing on his lips.
Mawi watched impatiently, anticipation building with every sway of Andini's hips. Her round, firm buttocks held a magnetic allure, promising a night of unforgettable pleasure. He could already feel his own desire hardening, ready to possess her. The moment Andini finished her song and sat down, he made his move.
"Hello," Mawi greeted, not wanting to waste any time.
Andini looked up at him, taking in his expensive clothes and youthful features. He was clearly wealthy, a stark contrast to the village men around him. He had to be one of Pak Lurah’s guests from the city.
"Hello, Mas," she replied, her voice a sweet melody.
"Forgive my forwardness, but is it true what I hear about you…?" Mawi inquired, his eyes locking with hers.
"I'm just starting tonight, Mas," Andini confessed, her gaze dropping to her lap, feigning shyness.
"You mean… this is your first time?" Mawi gasped, barely able to contain his surprise.
Andini nodded, her downcast eyes confirming his suspicions – she was indeed a virgin. In the city, finding such untouched beauty was next to impossible. Girls her age were far more experienced, their innocence lost in a haze of nightclubs and fleeting romances. This was a rare prize, and Mawi was determined to have her, no matter the cost. He cleared his throat, ready to negotiate a price for this rare treasure.
