ADJOINING REALM
SURPRISE CITIZENS

That night Gayatri bathed Gending's corpse alone. He cried because he could meet his biological mother only once in his life, even when bathing his body only. Gayatri's tears were mixed with every swing of water she threw while washing Gending's body. He sobbed so bitterly as he purified the body full of ulcers and pus in front of him.

After the purification process was completed, Gayatri was helped Ki Karta as her husband wrapped Gending's body with a shroud that he had brought from his home. Everyone can only watch them do that until it is finished, until finally Gending's body finally managed to be buried after being shaken together.

Everyone left Gending's tomb, which had only two stones as markers. They walked together towards Ki Karta's house, with seedy clothes on their bodies. The journey just passed, now they have arrived at Ki Karta's house. Ujang and Asep immediately say goodbye to everyone. They hurried away to head for their respective homes immediately after Ki Karta said that the annoying snake would never return again. Ujang and Asep were overjoyed, and they ran to their house, impatient to give good news to their families who were displaced.

After the backs of Ujang and Asep were no longer visible, Darto, Si Mbah and Ki Karta took turns using the shower in the bathroom of Ki Karta's house. They washed themselves and then gathered in the living room after wearing their clean clothes.

"You didn't go straight home, did you?" Ki Karta asked the two men in front of her. He felt the meeting was too short if Darto and Si Mbah Turahmin immediately left his home.

"Yes, Ki. Maybe tomorrow we leave," answered Darto briefly then grabbed the hot tea that Gayatri had just thrust on the table.

"You guys wanna come? All of you are witnesses of my grandchild's wedding," continued Si Mbah while also grabbing a warm tea served by Gayatri.

Hearing that question, Ki Karta and Gayatri exchanged glances. They looked for answers to each other until finally Ki Karta nodded and said "May, as long as someone will take us home again."

Hearing that answer, Darto and Si Mbah were very happy. They think if the wedding Darto will be done soon is so special, because many old friends who attended to see it.

The night just passed, the morning greeted so quickly. There was no news of the snake biting the people that night, not even everyone who was always on the night guard to look for the snake could find a single one of their prey. Kampung Ijuk really has returned to normal thanks to the intervention of Si Mbah and Darto that night.

All residents know about the arrival of Darto and Si Mbah is indeed to help the snake's business. Ki Karta used to tell them that there would be people who would come to end their suffering. Until finally they immediately assumed that Darto and Si Mbah were the people Ki Karta had been waiting for. After witnessing the snake disappear, in just two days after their arrival.

The intention of Darto and Si Mbah to go straight home that day really failed. All the residents of the village even flocked to the house of Ki Karta alternately. Everyone said thank you for what Darto did. Not a few people gave tribute, but Darto immediately rejected it outright. All the citizens who wanted to give a sign of gratitude to Darto were quite disappointed. They do not expect that what they offer will be rejected, until finally they have the sense to think of a plan.

All the remaining residents immediately gathered at the village hall, they arranged a plan to make a salutation that day. Everything seemed enthusiastic, they immediately went home to each other to achieve whatever they had. It didn't take long, all the equipment even the stage had already stood up in the blink of an eye.

"What do you really want?" Ask Ki Karta.

"Later Aki knew it herself. We'll take care of it, Ki. Assalamualaikum!" Reply Ujang then hurriedly ran. Asep also ran with a smile on his lips. Ki Karta could only shake her head while chuckling softly after seeing the two young men's behavior.

It had been quite a while after Asep and Ujang had left Ki Karta's house. Today Darto forced to stay home after finishing the Ashar prayer, but his intention had to be thwarted because the wheels of Kakung's car really deflated everything. Darto was a little suspicious, as it was impossible for all the wheels to leak simultaneously. And sure enough, the wheels of the car did not leak, the residents tried to hold Darto so as not to leave the village, until all efforts continue to do in order to withstand his departure.

Darto's suspicions grew clearer when all residents claimed not to have a wind pump, even though some residents had motorized vehicles in their homes. That day Darto was really confused until the night finally greeted. Almost half of the residents flocked to Ki Karta's house after the Isya prayer. They forced Darto and Sambah to go to the village hall to watch a performance and also to lead prayers.

Because he could not refuse, Darto and Si Mbah followed the direction of the citizens. They walk to the same place, where the celebration or celebration will be held. And it did not feel like the village hall was in front of them. A collection of torch lights that are deliberately made around the village hall really makes the atmosphere there bright. The stage is quite magnificent standing in the middle, with a large tumpeng that has been presented in front of him.

Darto and Si Mbah were really surprised. They did not believe that such a grand event could be prepared in just half a day. Even so they immediately followed every series of events, and before heading to the closing ceremony, Si Mbah had led a prayer for the prosperity of the Ijuk hamlet and surrounding hamlets. Not only the residents of Ijuk were present, some of the neighboring villagers also enlivened. This morning some of the residents went to give good news, and told them to be present at the event.

That night everyone witnessed a closing event that was so majestic. A group of young women who are handsome and beautiful show off their talents so great. They played their respective roles so perfectly on stage, with Asep and Ujang being the main cast.

Currently, all the teenagers are performing a play that will continue to be remembered until the future. The scene tells of the prowess of a young man, who managed to defeat the evil figure of an exorcist using a glowing arrow.

In this place, the name Chandrabha arrow was created. Because the name is used as a title show, which is always done for the closing of the show. Which is always held exactly every date one suro set.
