ADJOINING REALM
SYMBOLOGY

I was again faced with a dark room that was familiar, 'This must be in a dream!' I muttered as I walked towards the door of light that seemed close, not as far away as when I first came in here.

After entering that light. Looks like Dining's stepmother is still reading a piece of mail, I can now guess, if the letter she read is none other than definitely sent by the man who hit Dining in the forest.

This time I could see the scribbles of ink on the paper, but unfortunately I could not read. I have never been to school since I was born.

Although curious, I think staying here will not give additional results. Then I continued my steps into the light that connected the dead forest.

Back I was faced with a flashback of the events that Dining experienced, just like yesterday. But the difference, this time everything was clearly visible until Dining ended up dead on the outskirts of the mud swamp.

"Mining!" Unknowingly the scream from my lips managed to wake Anto and Satya who were sleeping next to me.

"Why are you Dar?" asked Anto next to me confused.

"The savage old man!" I said out loud with my hands clenched.

"What's Dar?" satya asked confusedly.

"Later to tell me everything in my house," I answered briefly followed by packing a sarong, and preparing for the trip after fulfilling the obligation.

The sky already looks yellow in the eastern horizon, do not want to linger we immediately continue the journey home with a quick step.

In my heart I want it to feel fast to get home and tell everything. And I will also discuss what I should do next.

Distance requires us to be patient again. Although our steps have really continued to accelerate in addition to just rest for prayer and eating. Still tonight we're gonna have to stay in the woods again.

***

The day had changed again, after the dawn prayer, we walked back quickly to leave the forest.

About now it is almost in the dzuhur time, I see Sewah who has been standing in front of the terrace waiting for our return.

My two friends say goodbye and leave. They said they wanted to change clothes and fill their stomachs, then come straight here again. From the beginning of our journey this morning, indeed we did not eat anything, because the provisions we brought had been eaten last night.

When he just finished cleaning himself, Si Mbah was no longer at home. It turns out that it is right we go home in the time of dzuhur, because at this time the voice of Iandang adzan Si Mbah sounded from the direction of breaking.

After finishing the congregation in the break, the four of us re-assembled in my house. When our mother was sitting accompanied by a breeze, in the middle of a rice field that contains rice seeds.

"Dar, now tell us Dar, what happened to Dining?" anto.

"At the time, I want something," I answered briefly then continued to ask Si Mbah.

"Anu, Mbah, What exactly am I planting? Who's Si Mbah's friend in the swamp? And are Dining's step-parents still at home?"

"This Mbah there are good cigarettes, said the price of chickpeas again rose. So there is a bonus for Satya and Darto a pack, which is a pack for Si Mbah," said Anto while throwing two packs of cigarettes sriwedari.

"Well! Si Mbah so not good this tok, because it is only loved once, try every day, keh keh keh," replied sembah chuckling with a typical laughter of his parents.

"Well?! So look Dar, what you planted under the banyan tree is actually just a offerings.well easy, Sewah feed to the banyan tree dwellers Dar, let him help you. If Darto does not planam sesaji, you will definitely be asked 1 person to stay in the swamp," he replied seriously, to really make the three of us stunned

"I mean Waste?"

"The ruler of the swamp is very strong Dar, there have been many victims that he**** from the past, if you meet him again he digs the grave, surely one of you dies. So Sumpah gave bribes to the owner of the dead forest. You must have seen either a strong wind or a sudden rain, right?" the question of Sumpah is only we answer with a nod.

"That's because the ruler of the forest died again fighting with the ruler of the swamp to help you, and right in the swamp surely you don't see the figure of jet black, bald, ugly face right? because I can make sure he gets some rest. His strength must have been drained after the fight with the dead forest owner," hearing the explanation, the three of us could only accept it, even though it felt strange in our hearts.

"The black creature that always sticks with Dining?" I asked to surprise her a little.

"You see Dar? why can you see! he should be tired, "answered replied while stroking his beard

"I saw the new departure Mbah, and have not entered the dead forest, Dining suddenly came, but finally in the same drag of the black creature,"

answer me

"Oh, it's appropriate that you look. You haven't buried it yet" replied Simbah nodding.

"Anu Mbah?! before Simbah and Temen Simbah dateng, I saw a lot of pocong Mbah! who are they really?"

tanya Satya cut the story of seimbah.

"That's all his wives the inhabitants of the swamp Sat, there's a beautiful not Sat? tanya Sewahan.

"Which may be beautiful, mangled all his face" Anto chimed in

"haha! Yeah! The Mbah also knows that there are many. Therefore, ask for help from fellow students to help. Just in case the swamp owner suddenly wakes up from his break. Cook Si Mbah alone fight with the owner of the swamp, in addition he brought all his wives," again the old man stroked his gray-skinned beard.

"It's all answered, isn't it, Dar? the question? Oh yes Dar, if the business of the Lastri stepmother Dining, I haven't heard from her in a long time. Maybe he went to Dar," Si Mbah's reply came to a halt because he took a cigarette out of his pack again.

"What do you want to do, Dar?" asked Si Mbah with a sharp look, as if he could read my mind.

How else, from the little one who took care of me it was Sewah. It was even strange that the Mbah could not read my mind. And plus Si Mbah must also know what the outline of Dining's death is like.

"I know Mbah, the Mbah cannot allow what my heart wants. I also know Mbah that there is a reciprocal. But, Mbah, if it was not a sin, Darto would have killed them both!" I answered tightly, instantly changing the atmosphere to be a little awkward and also gripping.
