ADJOINING REALM
DAY H

That night Darto and his two friends did the same thing as last night. They took turns keeping watch while continuing to hold the yellow bamboo stick in their hands. Tonight was the same as the last night, one full night not a single snake entered the house of Asep. They rested well until finally back to the good-bye Darto when the morning greeted.

Today is the day that Darto has been waiting for and all. The early night of one suro will fall right today. Darto seemed busy preparing himself by continuing to sit cross-legged at Ki Karta's house. No one dared to bother Darto who did not flinch at all in the living room after breakfast this morning. Darto was so focused on calming down in silence, to compile his mentality and thoughts, so that later tonight he was ready and no longer defeated by Gending for the second time.

Darto only got up from sitting cross-legged when I saw the Adzan heard, he returned to Ki Karta's house only to return to sit, also re-think in silence. Darto did this almost a full day, so it did not feel the sky had turned yellow, the fight that Darto would face was only a matter of hours.

Currently Darto, Si Mbah, Ki Karta, Asep and also Ujang are walking together towards the saung, they want to perform magrib prayer as well as isa afterwards. When the two services were over, Darto came home with a little run towards the house Ki Karta where all his goods were stored.

Just like when doing the exam, and also the time to fight with Gending for the first time. Darto used Darsa's clothes that he deliberately brought. Do not know why Darto considers that the clothes he is wearing is indeed prepared for him when dealing with the next creature.

The fragrance from the cloth that Darto wore never faded, even from the first time he received the garment at the exam site. Darto really likes the aroma, as if adding calm when he was facing dangerous things in front of him.

After finishing wearing all the relics of Darsa. Darto said goodbye to Asep, Ujang and Gayatri. Then he went with Si Mbah and Ki Karta to go to the waterfall, which has a distance of about an hour. The three of them walked together, with their hearts agitated and racing because they felt tense. There was no conversation at all during the trip, until finally the sound of the waterfall began to sound clear. Ki Karta said a word to encourage Darto who seemed worried, "You can definitely, Dar. Gending, Sastro, Wajana strongly believes in your abilities."

Hearing that word Darto immediately took a deep breath, he looked at the star-filled sky, then he looked at Ki Karta with narrowed eyes and the corner of floating lips. In a genuine smile he said "I will try my best."

Seeing that Darto was smiling so naively, Si Mbah Turahmin immediately grabbed Darto's head, he kissed his granddaughter's crown in front of Ki Karta. The Mbah immediately as he pleased, he spilled worry in his heart in the form of a clear circle that crept on his wrinkled cheeks while saying "I am proud to still be alive today. Tonight I will see my flesh and blood become a figure worthy of admiration."

Hearing the words of Si Mbah, Darto also drained clear circles from his eye bags. Darto drifted in the words that Si Mbah said, although he knew if the words were just an encouraging sentence that Si Mbah said.

After a long period of silence, Darto alternately looked at the two old men in front of him with a very sharp gaze. He continued to nod his head, as a gesture for them to continue his footsteps again. Step by step, the fight that Darto will face is getting closer. Unlike when leaving Ki Karta's house, the three of them now put on a face and alert attitude because the waterfall where the marriage of the two snakes was already visible in the distance.

Suddenly Darto who walked the front raised his hands high. He gestured for Si Mbah and Ki Karta to stop, before he finally closed his eyes and made a bow in his hand. As soon as the dark place became light, everything seemed clear, because the energy in Darto's hands could really make anyone who stared at his bow instantly glare made.

Ki Karta and Mbah turahmin were stunned to see this. Just this time they witnessed the energy so concentrated, that it could take the form of a bow that was so long in the hands of Darto. They could not say a word, kept silent with their eyes wide open to witness the incident.

Instantly Darto let out a long sigh, he held his breath in his chest, continuing to pull the bow thread as much as he could cover his hand. Darto's eyes focused on one spot, not blinking at all until his eyes began to water. Slowly a glowing arrow was created in his hand. For a moment Darto did not flinch, he was so straight looking at the snake figure that he would make a target. When Darto's heart felt confident, he took off the arrow while exhaling the breath that he had held long enough in the chest.

Spashh! Duars! Aaaaaa! The arrow that Darto unleashed shot out so fast! Every dark place that the arrow passed by instantly became light, and when the arrow reached below the waterfall, it came to light, the sound of a bang and the cry of a man who so echoed broke the silence of the night.

The eyes of Si Mbah and Ki Karta seemed to be forced round. They even sweat, after witnessing what Darto has done. They were completely unable to believe it, even after looking with their own eyes.

On the other hand, the sound becomes more and more noisy. The sound of lightning began to thunder when Darto's energy touched the body of a male snake that is now burning on the water. Plus the sound of screaming from the figure of a snake that has possessed gending for hundreds of years, sounds so shrill as if enlivening the noise in the place.

The non-stop lightning continued to appear until night seemed to be day in that place. Seeing the target clearly, Darto immediately pulled back the bow in his hand. He aimed the re-formed arrow in his hand, towards the remaining giant snake figure.

When Darto was about to release the second arrow, in one blink the snake's eyes had arrived right behind Darto. With a gaping mouth, ready to devour Darto at that time.
