ADILAGES
HIMA 1'S
Although he had repeatedly resolved to no longer set foot on the slopes of Mount Semeru, Gilang Kandaka could no longer resist the temptation to return to this place.
The legs of the final-level student had once traced Mahameru Peak, 3676 meters above sea level. There is no reason to repeat the same feat in the same place.
What is really sought by Gilang is a stone statue as big as a human shaped like a genie or a giant. The statue appeared to be carrying a mace, both eyes were rounded and large fangs sticking out from the ends of its wide mouth. As if protected by the shade of the surrounding trees, this statue has stood for centuries, as if continuing to preserve the environment of this mountain.
After being sure there was no one around, Gilang stood right opposite the statue. “Gilang Kandaka is coming, o Himawari.”
There's no answer.
“Gilang Kandaka is coming, o Himawari.”
Still no answer.
I want to feel like Gilang just turned around. But he still stands, waiting for the response of the “waiter arca”. The young man continued to peck, his sweat pouring out under the sun. Is this some kind of test to measure his consciousness? Or did Himawari harbored a deep wrath on Gilang or was there no more on earth?
Gilang had to be certain about this before deciding to leave empty-handed. If necessary, he will not hesitate to destroy this historical cultural relic and curl up in prison. Glare clearly know, “certainty” is in this sculpture.
After waiting for a while longer, common sense moved Gilang to turn around and step away.
But suddenly a voice entered the young man's mind. How dare you come again and disturb my bed. Are you tired of living, huh? Kandaka Gilang?
Silence a thousand languages, do not want to answer the question “sobat lama” it.
Hng, want to mess with me, huh? I, Himawari, the Eternal Ice Jin do not accept that!
Gilang remained silent.
Stupidhead! If you don't answer, you're asking to die! I'll pass it on with pleasure! While saying so, Himawari revealed his shadow form, which is a genie with a very sturdy body and all sparkling like a blue-greenish crystal. His one arm formed a long-bladed sword.
Himawari thrust the sword into Gilang's heart. Instead, Gilang did not move a bit. The genie in time stopped his action, the tip of the sword threatening about a centimeter from the target's chest.
“Huh, apparently you would rather die than serve my bluff. Okay, tell me what you want.”
Gilang, who knew Himawari two years ago, spoke only after the genie opened a gap through the wall of his arrogance. “Please brighten my memory, and you will know.”
“Huh, troublesome former employer.” Grumbling, Himawari did Gilang's errand.
A series of images flashed like a film in the mind of the genie. Starting from the disappearance of Leony, Gilang's efforts to find his lover with the help of Julia and Brian.
Their encounter with Nyi Roro Kidul.
Brian became the heir to Taruna and disappeared after producing a natural disaster.
Gilang and Julia became lovers. But secretly Gilang harbored a sense of dissatisfaction. Without superpowers, she was just a maid. No more than a supporter for Julia, the heir of Roro Jonggrang and Zirah Dahlia.
Especially with the return of Brian from “death” and his football as a Cadet, making him the most famous member of the Adilaga League. The problem is, now Julia and Brian are more often assigned together as a team. As a result, the relationship between Julia and Gilang became tenuous, the less often meet and spend time together.
In other words, Julia has been cheating on Brian.
Therefore, whether because of jealousy, revenge or the desire to dig out his own identity, Gilang came again in front of the creature who once guided and deceived him. Whatever he will get, it could be up to just a hint or even rejection, will greatly help Gilang to determine the steps ahead.
Finished laughing, Jin Himawari bowed in silence. Patiently Gilang stood on standby. He knew Hima was bluffing, but the next attack could have taken his life.
Still down, the crystal genie spoke, “Thank you, Gilang Kandaka.”
“For what?” ask Gilang.
“Disclosing your true heart to me. Actually you are still wondering if I am still Himawari who used to justify all means, use and deceive his heir, in order to avenge his defeat and humiliation of Bandung Bondowoso and Roro Jonggrang.”
“So are you still Himawari like that?”
The shadow of Himawari shook his head. “When Roro Jonggrang and Bandung Bondowoso finally united in eternity, I realized ‘win’ and ‘satisfaction’ that I got was in vain. The joy I felt seemed to arise because I had helped others. So the happiness of Jonggrang and Bondowoso is my happiness too.”
“So, is that why you decided to go back to seclusion, rearranging all your thoughts and views? When you are ready again someday, you will ‘call’ the candidate you consider capable of carrying your legacy, just as the spirit of Bandung Bondowoso called me first.” Gilang.
Hima paused for a moment, then returned to say, “All you said was right, except for one thing. I don't feel like I've found myself and my role yet, I'm not ready. That's why I was silent when you called earlier.”
Those words even sparked Gilang's idea. He said, “It is precisely the best way to find yourself is through cooperation with a partner, and I will help you. That way, you will be respected and admired by the public as a hero.”
Hima was fixated, her mind was digesting all the truth from Gilang's words.
Seeing the doubt still implied in the look of the ice genie's face, Gilang added one “the ultimate blow”. “Again, only Julia and I know about your relationship with the Legend of Roro Jonggrang. Over time, your services will outweigh your past mistakes. So, I ask you one last time, will you be my partner once again?”
Hima did not answer. The shadow seemed to peek for a long time, then disappeared. His attitude is certainly considered a rejection by anyone. Including Gilang, who finally shook his head and turned to leave.
But suddenly Gilang heard the sound of a shifting stone and turned his head back. Sure enough, the jaw part of the stone statue gaping very wide magically. Without a second thought he ran away, extended his hand into that mouth, then quickly pulled it back out. Almost simultaneously, the statue's jaw clenched again. It's a second too late, one Gilang hand must be gone.
In fact, the hand was still intact in its place, and now it was clutching a necklace. That's Himawari Sakti Necklace, a blue-greenish pendant shaped like a piece of ice crystal. This necklace was once found, then returned again by Gilang in the statue of Semeru's guard.
In order to ascertain Hima's real answer, Gilang put on a crystal necklace, exerted the ice prana that had long been stored in his own body and concentrated it in the heartwarming fur. As a result the necklace shimmered, emitting an ice air that instantly wrapped Gilang from head to toe.
A moment later, the ice air dissipated, leaving Gilang in a completely different appearance. His entire body was clad in a tight costume from neck to toe. The mask covers her entire head and face. Hima, the Eternal Ice Swordsman has reappeared, albeit in a solitary state.
The blue-green crystal pattern again highlights and displays the image of Jin Himawari. As if he had not yet stripped away all his pride, he stood upright on his arm. But his words were gentle and polite. “Well, try if you still remember my old teachings..”.
