ADJOINING REALM
GREETINGS INTRODUCTIONS

Four days have passed, the planned wedding will take place two days later. Preparations have been completed, it seems everything is mature. From food, souvernir, to large tents have begun to be assembled by several people in front of the pesantren mosque today.

Everyone seems busy with their own business. Except for three brides. They just sat there holding a piece of paper in their hands. The three men were sitting in the same room with the same feeling. They are memorizing a series of Arabic writings that they will say aloud when the day of ijab is carried out.

It appears that the three men alternately corrected each other in the pronunciation of the ijab letter. Three men who were able to memorize the Koran quickly, felt a little difficulty when memorizing one sentence written arab. They doubt they will be able to say the sentence fluently when day H, they look worried and nervous all day after receiving the paper from Kakung two days ago.

All day they do is ordinary activities, in addition to memorizing they keep doing teaching activities like the days that have gone by. Until time passed without leaving anything in front of them. The figure who kept lurking had not gotten a chance at all, he was always waiting in uncertainty because the target he had never left the boarding school for quite a long time.

"Gus, it looks like we have to go to the lake to quickly memorize," said Bidin giving advice.

"Good idea, Din. It's quiet, it's good for memorization. Later all of us lure aja yuk," replied Darto with a face sumringah, feeling his friend's proposal is very good.

Surip who had just listened had also agreed with the proposal, and finally that afternoon the three of them left the boarding school to the lake where they had seen spending time. They left after grabbing the fishing line that used to be used by Darto, and they set off after saying goodbye to Kakung and two other Grandpa who were relaxing gathered in the living room.

When just a step Darto and two friends left the pesantren fence. The feeling of Darto immediately felt bad, he felt something was constantly watching from behind the leaves. But he did not undo his intention, to still go towards the lake like the beginning of the plan.

The deeper Darto and his two friends went into the forest that separated the cottage and the lake, the more the bad feeling that Darto felt. At this time Darto looks very alert as he continues to walk, his eyes continue to sweep in all directions, while continuing to sharpen the sense of taste he has.

"Why are you, Gus?" ask Surip briefly. He felt confused by the Darto debate who continued to pay attention to all directions.

"Yes, Gus. Don't tell me that there are demons near here" said Bidin as he brought his body closer to Darto.

"I don't know either, Din, Sur, we'd better just go home yuk. Really my feelings are not good," replied Darto while stopping his steps. He looked at his two friends who looked scared. Before finally he decided to return to the pesantren, in order to avoid his bad premonition.

Hearing Darto's remarks, Surip and Bidin immediately agreed without asking. They strongly believed in Darto's remarks, and eventually they undo the intention to memorize in their favorite places. When they were stepping back towards the pesantren, Darto was a little surprised by something he saw in front of his eyes, he immediately shouted to his two friends, "Run Sur! Din's! You guys run away from here!"

Hearing the cry of Darto, Surip and Bidin immediately ran with all their might, they left Darto who was installing horses in the forest. Darto looked alert, he put up a ready position for whatever will happen with him this time.

"Dar, he's here" said Sastro who suddenly appeared behind Darto, he also put up a ready position, facing the opposite direction, with his back against Darto's back.

Darto who saw it immediately carrying Sastro moved so quickly, he avoided the surprise attack of the saplings by jumping on a large tree branch that stretched over their heads.

"Actually who is he you mean?" said Darto while continuing to move places. Because wherever he moved there immediately appeared hundreds of centipede children who approached him.

"This is one of the male snake friends you killed the other day, Dar. He was a accomplice of Banaspati. If the snake is the right hand, he is the left hand" continued Sastro while continuing to watch the area around, and hold tightly on to the shoulders of Darto who was carrying himself on the back.

Hearing Sastro's words, Darto nodded in understanding, he continued to jump while thinking about what weapons are good to fight the crowd of red-footed saplings on the ground. Darto thought that using the chandrabha arrow would be useless, because a single attack would only get rid of a small part of it.

"The astro?! Do you know where their mother is?" ask Darto while continuing to jump.

"In a moment, Dar," Sastro answered briefly. After answering Darto's question, Sastro immediately closed his eyes, he looked for the position of the child's leader's body, by feeling the most energy felt around him.

"He's there, Dar," Sastro continued, pointing at a large tree, hearing the hole that led into the ground below.

"You can run by yourself, right?" tanya Darto returned, and immediately got the nod of Sastro's head.

Seeing Sastro nod, Darto lowered Sastro from his sling. He left Sastro on top of a tree branch then jumped high and shot a glowing arrow towards the hole pointed by Sastro from the air.

Duars! Duars! Duars! The thump after bang continued to be heard, Darto pointed the arrow at the same place many times, but nothing happened other than the explosion of the arrow. Darto was really confused, because there was no sound of screaming like when he managed to hit the body of a snake that he had fought.

Darto's plan to get rid of thousands of centipedes by killing his mother completely failed. The saplings of centipedes still keep coming, they keep coming out endlessly from under the dry foliage. The soil, which was originally brown due to piles of dried leaves, is now turning jet black because the saplings of centipedes fill all sides of the land.

In the confusion, Darto had his legs that had no footing after jumping. Straightly plunge into the pile of saplings centipedes, which clustered on the ground, just below his feet.
