ADJOINING REALM
UNSUSPECTINGLY

"Look, Dar. I got information from the woman who lives in the jackfruit tree near my house, she talked long about Jaka," Ki Karta said.

"So right, Ki? If Jaka saw an apparition last night?" Answer Darto.

"Small.. Jang.. You guys better go home first, huh? This is not a story that you can listen to" Ki Karta said as she turned to two young men who still had ears.

Hearing that Asep and Ujang immediately said goodbye, actually they also did not want to hear anything about the discussion that smelled of ghosts. They were afraid because they were just ordinary people, and they did not want to meet something that they thought was creepy. So at that time they responded to Ki Karta's request and went back to their homes.

When Asep and Ujang had left the house, ki Karta immediately opened the voice "It looks like Jaka has something, Dar. And the people next door really want something that's sitting inside her body."

"What is that, Ki?" Sahut Jaka with a paled face.

"Awhile, Jak. Let me talk to Ki Karta first," said Darto chimed Jaka, he then asked Ki Karta "What does Ki Karta mean his energy?"

Ki Karta was really surprised to hear the words of Darto. He did not think at all that Darto already knew about what he was going to say. In a sense of wonder Ki Karta answered Darto's question with a Question also "You've Tau?"

"Every night I felt a suffocating air in this house. I knocked on Ki Karta's door, but there was no answer, and when I entered Jaka's room he was floating with his body lit up. The color is red, Ki," replied Darto as he stared pushyly at Ki Karta.

"Maybe it's true that the tree dwellers next to the house say. He said if the energy in Jaka's body is not actually Jaka's pure energy," Ki Karta continued, looking up, he tried to find the answer to the puzzle they were facing.

"But, at least it doesn't hurt Jaka, Ki. He was fine, and he felt nothing either. I can assume that it is not dangerous" continued Darto as he turned towards Jaka.

"But the woman who met me said that her energy had such a strong aroma, Dar. It will be dangerous if Jaka is not with you" said Ki Karta.

"Just calm down, Ki. Later after the pesantren I will ask Abah Ramli's approval, so that Jaka continues to come with me for a while," replied Darto then turned to Jaka "You are not papa right? If you don't come with your Elders?"

Hearing that, Jaka immediately nodded, he agreed with Darto's proposal, because he also felt very safe if he was beside Darto.

"But I'm surprised, Dar. Actually what energy he has," said Ki Karta.

"The color is the same as the chain that bound him earlier, Ki. It is energy that is not weak. I know a little bit of the picture, but I'm still not sure" replied Darto.

"What's the picture, Kang?" Jaka Timpal.

Jaka was a little confused, but he had no choice. Finally he nodded back to comply with Darto's request to return to continue the journey.

"Yeah, Dar. If you have decided, I can only help with prayer. Hopefully everything will be resolved quickly," continued Ki Karta.

"Amine, Ki. But I intend to stay here again tonight, may I?" Darto.

"Stay as you please, consider your own home Dar. I'm alone here anyway" replied Ki Karta then rushed into the next room.

The conversation was finally over. There is no bright spot yet from the problems that plagued Jaka. But for Darto who knows a little clear picture, he actually felt happy with something that was happening to Jaka in front of him. Darto even continuously tried to strengthen Jaka's heart with a word, and fortunately Jaka was easily seduced or given advice. He always listened to whatever Darto said or pinta, so that Darto could really feel relieved.

"You go to sleep, Jak. I know you sleepy, later in the afternoon we see a very good waterfall. Loss if you get here but don't see the waterfall," said Darto then rushed out of the house, he intended to go around the village Ijuk, to meet all residents just to introduce his wife.

Jaka immediately went to his room, because last night he kept awake, this morning he immediately fell asleep when he just laid his body. While Darto was visiting one by one houses not far from the house of Ki Karta, he continued to respond to the invitation of all Citizens who told him to stop by, he continued, he stopped at Asep's house, which he used to stay overnight.

"How many days are you here, Dar?" Asep asked briefly while thrusting two glasses of tea on the tray.

"Tomorrow to go home, Sep. Later invite Ujang also yes, I want to play to the same waterfall Jaka. You want to come, right?" Answer Darto briefly.

"By, Dar. Later I samperin Ujang, then this is drunk first" said Asep while pushing the tray closer towards Darto and Harti.

After that they just joked as they should, not long after Ujang came unexpectedly, he even brought four young coconuts that he just picked in his garden. Darto was really happy to see what Ujang brought, because he rarely ate or drank young coconuts in the village or in the pesantren. He asked Ujang to bring the coconut to Ki Karta's house when he wanted to visit the waterfall. Darto did not eat the coconut at this time, because he wanted Jaka to eat the Coconut.

Long story short the day was late afternoon, after the ashar prayer they ate the young coconut of Ujang harvest at the house of Ki Karta, before finally they all walked together to the waterfall, a place that had become a silent witness of the momentum of the fierce fight, between Darto and two snakes in the past day. There was no restless face, no fear, the condition of the village was completely inversely proportional to the condition when Darto first came.

Not long after they reached the waterfall. Jaka, Ujang, Asep, Darto and even Harti immediately plunged into the current to wash themselves. They bathed in clothes still attached to their bodies that afternoon, accompanied by Ki Karta who kept an eye on them from the edge.

Today, Darto is very happy, on the one hand he can spend time with everyone close without feeling anxious, he said, plus Darto also felt relieved considering he would get one aid that might be very influential from Jaka's energy. Darto could not hide the happiness from his face, he continued to smile widely, although at this time something was watching him, from behind the bush that filled all sides of the waterfall.
