Rina had been crying ever since her husband, Danang, returned from fishing. After the trip, Danang turned into a man easily angered and rough. This married couple of ten years had an eight-year-old son named Arif. Previously, Danang almost married the village beauty, Amara, before Amara was found dead mysteriously in the river. Before going fishing, Danang was a gentle man. However, Rina felt strange when Danang took a machete with him when bidding farewell for fishing. Danang's change was not only felt by Rina but also by the villagers who often fell victim to his rage. Arif was also often beaten by Danang. A week after Danang's return, Rina began to hear strange sounds on the roof of the house and saw a tall figure with red eyes near the banana tree. When Rina tried to talk to Danang about this, he became very angry instead. When angry, Danang's eyes appeared red, and his teeth elongated. Rina told her fear to Maharani, her childhood friend. Maharani suspected that Danang had eaten the feathers of Mariaban, a supernatural creature from the interior of Kalimantan whose feathers provided mystical power. Rina remembered the machete brought by Danang, indicating that he might have gone to the forest, not fishing. Unable to bear Danang's rough attitude, Rina decided to return to her parents' house. A few days later, Danang killed Pak Marno, a good warrior. The villagers captured Danang and intended to burn him. As the fire flared up, Danang revealed that Pak Marno deserved to die for killing Amara. He explained that Amara was forced to be Pak Marno's second wife and was killed when she refused. As he was burned, a large black figure appeared from the flames. The villagers realized that Danang had eaten Mariaban's feathers. Although Rina was hysterical, the villagers believed that Danang could only die peacefully after being burned because anyone who eats Mariaban's feathers will not be accepted by the earth and will become a Mariaban ghost when they die.
