ADJOINING REALM
NEW LEAD

Since he only saw the young man bathing, Ki Karta first realized that there was one figure who was watching everyone in front of him. He immediately jumped into the middle of the thicket, and shortly after came out of it with the neck of a small creature in his hand.

"What do you want?" Ask Ki Karta while continuing to lift the small creature.

The creature continued to wrangle, he tried to take off the grip of Ki Karta wrapped around the neck of his neck, although his efforts always failed because the grip of Ki Karta was so strong. The figure turned pale, he was afraid that he would be bullied by Ki Karta, until finally he opened the voice "I want to say hello to Raden Darto."

Heard the name Darto uttered. Ki Karta instantly loosened her grip, she crouched down and put the figure on the ground while saying "You know Darto?"

The figure was still silent, he continued to stroke the nape of his neck that felt tingling. After a long time, he just opened the voice "He helped me."

"Dar..! Darto..! Here's a minute, Dar!" Shouted Ki Karta while waving at Darto who was still cool playing water in the river.

"Yes, Ki..!" Replied Darto as he approached Ki Karta.

After Darto arrived, Ki Karta invited Darto to slightly get into the bush. He was afraid that the questions he would ask could cause a commotion if heard by Darto's friends there.

"Do you know this?" Said Ki Karta while pushing the body of a small creature that was originally hiding behind the back of Ki Karta who was crouching.

"You..." Darto's words stopped, he continued to frown, trying to remember who the figure standing in front of him was.

"The grocery store, Den!" Answer the little creature.

"DWell..! What are you doing here?" Said Darto with a relieved face, because the mind block his was removed.

"My house is close here, Den. I hear people's voices, so I want to see who else is playing here. But this man is suffocating me, Den" said the creature, pointing at Ki Karta.

"Some of you wear everything! Rich people want to help!" Ki Karta.

"Ha ha ha already.. He's not evil, Ki," said Darto, then spoke to the figure in front of him "You've come home. My wife and one of my friends can see you too, afraid they'll be surprised."

Hearing that, the small figure did not immediately leave, he brought his tiny lips closer to Darto's ears, then whispered while covering Darto's ears and mouth with his tiny hands "Aden's friend has an aura that looks like my boss, Den."

Darto's eyes widened, he felt shocked by what the figure had just said.

"Who's warlock?!" Darto replied with a high enough tone, his voice could even be heard by Ki Karta.

"Which do you mean? Who has an aura like a shaman, who used to hold you back?" Continued Darto in a slow tone, he felt sorry to see the creature in front of him frightened.

"The smallest man, Den. The aura is red, exactly like Ki Jumar's" Sosok said while pointing at Jaka.

Darto was really surprised. He did not expect that Jaka had the same aura as someone who used black magic. In his confusion, Darto again asked the small figure "Where is Ki Jumar's house?"

"Close to the grocery store, Den. His name is known to many. Local people call him Kiyai Jumar" continued a small figure.

"Away, Yes. All right, you just go home now, my friend must feel weird if I stay here too long. And soon I also have a plan to go home, just through there let me see for myself what the shaman disguised kiyai it," replied Darto. He pushed the small creature with his palm.

"Good, Den. I'm going first. Assalamualaikum.." Answer the figure with a smile

"You're into islam?" Ask Darto while looking at the small back that is away.

The figure just turned his head, then incised a smile back on his lips while nodding with a happy face. Darto and Ki Karta who saw that, immediately immediately said hamdalah simultaneously.

After that Darto rushed to call all his friends and also his wife. He invited them back to Ki Karta's house. They walked home in wet clothes, fortunately the air of the village was really hot, so they did not get cold at all on the way.

After hearing the remark of the figure, Darto changed his purpose to stay, that afternoon he also invited Harti and Jaka to prepare. He could not bear the lingering feeling about Jaka's energy, and luckily Ki Karta understood that. That afternoon Ki Karta, Asep and Ujang helped Darto pack his things and bring them to their car. It did not feel like time passed, the preparation of Darto and Harti was not as fast as they expected.

It was already evening, the Maghrib Adhan had been proclaimed by one of the residents. Finally, Darto resigned his intention to leave, he just departed after the completion of performing the isya prayer. All the citizens who knew Darto was coming home, they rushed home after Maghrib. They returned just before the Adhan with young coconuts in their hands. It turns out that Ujang and Asep told me that Darto, Harti and Jaka really like young coconuts. Tonight Darto returned home with dozens of young coconuts filling the trunk and also a portion of the back car.

Jaka kept laughing looking at the number of young coconuts lying beside him. He felt funny because he could lean on that pile of things beside him. Darto and Harti who heard the laughter of Jaka, spontaneously they shared in the beginning of their journey home.

Two hours passed, it was quite far behind the village of Ijuk. Currently Harti was asleep with his head resting on the window glass, while Jaka still continued to observe the dark scenery that they were passing through. The car that Darto was driving was streaking across the lush and deserted forest, tonight he intends to spend the forest first before parking the car and sleeping in it, but the plan again got a constraint.

As Darto focused on the cobbled streets in front of him, Jaka shouted so loudly that Harti was aghast from his sleep. At that time Darto immediately stepped on the brake pedal deeply, but when the car stopped Jaka jumped right into the Ara Darto through the seat in the middle. Jaka was completely pale, he looked terrified as he continued to stare at the back window of the car.

"Come on, Jak!" Shouted Darto trying to calm Jaka down.

Jaka gasped after hearing Darto scream. He gradually let out a long sigh, then said "Kang... Someone's on top of our car!"
