ADJOINING REALM
SANTRI TRIO

That night everyone was stunned after hearing Darto's words, they silenced a thousand languages in surprise. But it is different with Harti. He was silent not out of surprise, but out of shame. It looked as if his cheeks were so blushing at once as well. He lowered his head with his mouth locked, with an explosive feeling inside his chest.

After a long time they were silent, Kakung opened his voice to melt the sound. He laughed a little as he said "When do you want? Tomorrow then? Or just now? Can't wait for you?"

Hearing that, everyone simultaneously laughed at Darto, they felt funny to see Darto's cheeks that were flushed after hearing Kakung's words. That night Darto and Harti were completely overwhelmed with passionate feelings because the statements that had stuck in their hearts were finally conveyed as well. That night Darto's wedding day was finally determined, his two grandfathers proposed to as soon as possible, considering that Darto still has the responsibility he must carry in the future.

After a long period of deliberations, Darto's marriage was finally determined. The wedding will take place in a week, starting today. When the discussion of the determination of the day was finished, the shocking words came back from Badin, he said the following sentence "Pak Kyai, I also want to be confirmed with Siti, he said, if it could be the same Darto let it be with his marriage."

Hearing that, Surip was very surprised. He had approached Siti but was rejected outright because Siti used to like Darto. He did not expect if Bidin managed to seize the heart of Siti that he once wanted. Just then Surip asked Bidin in an astonished tone, he said "How can he be with you, Din?"

"After I had extended Anto's rich moustache, he began to look at me with a different look, Sur. It's true that having a moustache is easy to make a girl klepek-lepek," said Badin with a serious look. His words really made Anto widen when he heard it.

"Really?" Surip asked, he looked so trusting that everyone was open to seeing the behavior of the two close friends.

Surip was a little embarrassed at that time, he also looked sad because two close friends would do the wedding on the same day, while he had not met the woman who was willing to marry him. In his gloom, he heard something that Kakung said. He was surprised after hearing Kakung say, "You want me to pair the same Karta child?"

"What is Mr Kyai?" Surip asked slightly tilted his head while looking at the direction Kakung pointed at with his index finger

When Surip turned his head he immediately saw that the beautiful Gayatri was bowed in shame, and also Ki Karta who was watching Surip closely. His gaze probed, he continued to pay attention to Surip as he continued to stroke the white beard on his chin.

"He was my student from a long time ago, Kar. If his religious affairs were equal to my grandson's. He's already Hafiz, don't you want to? If you are the same daughter you get a free heaven path? He can bring 10 people to heaven" Kakung asked Ki Karta.

"Give up my daughter, Mat. He's grown up. How, Neng? Wantsome? You have time to have your own family" Ki Karta replied to Kakung, then asked his daughter who was bowed shyly beside him.

"Neng followed Abah, if Abah allows it, Neng will not refuse," replied Gayatri with blushing cheeks, as red as Surip's cheeks that almost fainted to hold a heartbeat that was so hunting.

Hearing that, everyone was back up, they were swept away in the pleasure lodged in their hearts. After a long time Ki Karta gave Surip a series of questions, he finally agreed to give his beloved daughter to the young man to be his life partner. That night all the parents felt the same way, they felt happy because their successors already had their respective partners.

"Okay, next week let me be the ruler for all of you. Tomorrow call Siti here, all of us meet her parents yes, Din," Kakung told all the young men in front of her. then asked Bidin in front of her.

"Jih Pak Kyai. I had their blessing, and it happened to be his house near the pesantren, only ten minutes walk away. Now I say goodbye first, want to convey this news to Siti," said Bidin then leave in haste. He ran towards the princess dormitory so fast, while jumping up and down in excitement.

After everything was over, everyone decided to take a break that night. The guest room that was so crowded turned so quiet after everyone entered their respective rooms.

Darto, Harti, Surip, Bidin, Gayatri and Siti could not close their eyes that night. They drift in daydreams about the happy day they will be having in a moment. The six teenagers were drunk in their feelings, making their eyes unwilling to be closed. Because for them, tonight reality is more beautiful than a dream.

The day changed, this morning all the parents and all the youths were looking for all the necessary supplies, they went to the market to order the various groceries needed, they were, then give a delivery to the bride in turn. Kakung looked a little tired after a day of taking care of all his interests. He even registered the three couples to KUA, after sending a citation to the house Siti who he traveled on foot.

That day everyone's tiredness was really not felt, they did everything with a smile that kept floating on the lips. Until it does not feel like the night has returned to greet, time passed like a blink of an eye, just leaving a feeling of fatigue.

Because from last night they continued to stay up, the three pairs of bride-to-be were so quick to close their eyes tonight. They were immediately swept away in their dreams on their respective cots. That night was so ordinary, without them knowing, there had started to be someone watching them from a distance.

The news of the death of a pair of snakes who had served for so long, finally reached the ears of Banaspati. He sent one of his accomplices to take care of whoever had killed one of his pet, and by now a figure had reached the boarding area, he was monitoring from a distance because he really could not get inside. One huge energy always made his body bounce back a few steps, each of them trying to forcefully enter.

The creature tried many different ways, but his efforts were forced to remain unsuccessful. He finally gave up, and decided to wait for an opportunity. He inhabits a large tree located in the forest near the pesantren, with the form of an animal that has a size beyond reason. A centipede so large, accompanied by dozens of his children is now waiting for time to do the task they carry, to destroy Darto and others.
