REQUESTS

Not long after Abah Ramli and Jaka arrived at the lake. They heard the voice of the maghrib Adhan I laid Kakung on the pesantren, they both immediately accelerated their steps towards the destination which was none other than Kakung's pesantren.

Not long after that, Jaka and Abah Ramli immediately changed the shabby clothes they were wearing. Washing their bodies and hurrying to follow the prayers of the maghrib pilgrims continued in the pesantren mosque. After the prayer is finished, they just entered the tent that stands right in front of the mosque. They swept their eyes to look for Kakung who had left first to leave the mosque in a hurry.

"Matt!" abah Ramli shouted while waving his hand, after seeing Kakung who was shaking hands with guests in the tent.

Seeing Ramli, Kakung immediately ran towards him. He was in a hurry with a very surprised face because he could see a friend who he had not met for a very long time.

"Subhanallah... How's Ram doing? You know my granddaughter is married?" kakung said while hugging Ramli so tightly.

"Which is your grandson?" replied Ramli while frowning.

"Hes, I think you want the condangan," replied Kakung while shaking his head, he thought the news about his grandson even to be heard by the villagers of his best friend's village.

"Really, Mat? Who married your granddaughter?" ask Ramli back.

"Well, guess what, who else was sitting there that looked like?" kakung replied as he pointed his index finger at Darto.

"Tumin, Mat?" ramli replied as he rounded his eyes, he immediately ran towards Darto without warning.

"You're Tumin's grandson?" tanya Ramli returned after arriving in front of Darto.

"Yes, Cake, Grandpa's friend of the Mbah?" said Darto a little confused about to call the parents in front of him with what call.

"Where is your Mbah now?" tanya Ramli returned without caring about Darto's question.

"Inside, drink again. Soon the most out, Kek," answered Darto briefly.

"Congratulations, Le. I'm sorry I didn't know that Tumin's grandson was equally very married, so I didn't bring anything" Ramli said as he offered a hand, and was immediately grabbed by Darto at the time.

"It's okay, Cake. I just ask for prayer" replied Darto as he looked at Abah Ramli with a look of wonder. After looking closely, Darto felt the person in front of him storing something that continued to make Darto feel a call. Darto who was confused again opened his voice when it was also "Sorry, Kek. What does Grandpa actually keep? The thing at the end of Grandpa's necklace keeps calling my name."

Abah Ramli immediately rounded his eyes, he looked at Darto with a look of disbelief. Clear thread began to flow in his eye bags, he immediately embraced Darto so tightly while saying "Alhamdulillah, our task is finally done."

Darto was really confused, he didn't know about anything Abah Ramli said. But seeing Abah Ramli who was still sobbing, Darto did not dare to continue asking. He chose to hunch over and slightly patted the old man's shoulder in front of him.

Seeing Darto hugging someone, Si Mbah who had just come out of the house immediately ran towards where Darto was. He grabbed Ramli quickly and immediately snatched the man's embrace from Darto.

"How many years, Ram? I forgot to have a friend named Ramli" said Si Mbah while offering two glasses that he originally wanted to bring to the front desk.

"Now that I am 65 years old Min, I met you guys at the age of 15 rich grandchildren," Ramli said, pointing to Jaka and then back to his words "Have fifty years, Min. I really want to see you guys."

Darto was really surprised by what Abah Ramli said, he did not expect Si Mbah and Kakung to have friends who had not met for so long. In his speech, Darto asked the old man in front of him "Indeed, Grandpa never played here?"

Hearing that Si Mbah and Kakung immediately shook their heads. They both knew about the state of Ramli's hometown, even though they had never once set foot there. They looked at Darto with a sharp gaze before finally Si Mbah opened the voice "They can not go from their village, Dar."

"What's the matter, Mbah?" answer Darto briefly.

"We're all waiting for you, son. Our ancestor promised his best friend, he promised to keep one treasure that will be yours later" said Abah Ramli as he looked at Darto with a sad look.

"Me?" tanya Darto was so astonished. He immediately put on a face of disbelief, as well as Jaka who was sitting next to Abah Ramli.

"He's the one we're waiting for, Bah? But he's not wearing the rich clothes that he painted?" jaka Timpal.

"He can hear the sound of this necklace, it's obvious he's the one our ancestors were referring to" Abah Ramli replied as he stuck out a clear stone wrapped around a rope that tied his neck. Then he looked at Darto and again asked, "What do you know about kanjeng Darma?"

"Change Romo? Darsa's father? I don't know anything I've only seen him for a moment, just as I am again testing," replied Darto with a surprised face, he was shocked to hear the name of Darsa's father from the person he had just met.

"But you passed the exam, didn't you?" ask Abah Ramli back.

"Graduate, Ram. His clothes he kept in the room" said Si Mbah.

"Son. You should pay a visit to our village, we want to give your ancestral relics. It has been hundreds of years since my ancestors waited for the successor to the Darma kanjeng, he used to think he would wait for Darsa, but it turns out his son is not someone who we can and our ancestors wait for" continued Abah Ramli.

Hearing that, Darto immediately turned to Harti, he felt sorry for having received a request that required him to leave, even though they had just been put together for a day.

"Not to rush, son. We can still wait. A year and two years is not long for us, compared to hundreds of years that have passed" said Abah Ramli after seeing Darto staring at his wife with Guilty face. He did not want the happy event of someone who had been waiting for so long, ruined because of the selfishness of his family.

Hearing that, Darto immediately put on a relieved face, he was happy because he did not have to leave quickly. That night Abah Ramli and Jaka were welcome to rest in Kakung's house, they occupied the room that was originally used by Ki Karta, because it had been two nights since he had not returned from his daughter-in-law's house.
