"Just right! Are you dreaming again?" Shouted Darto with a dumbfounded face.

For a moment, Jaka blinked his eyes, then turned to look at Darto's face and immediately grabbed Darto who was holding his shoulder.

"Kang .. I see all my ancestral fights. I'm scared, Kang. What's more fitting my body glows in a dark room," said Jaka with a trembling body. He felt that both the dark room and the rays on his body were truly terrifying to him.

Hearing that, Darto just nodded then grabbed the flask that Kakung brought, then he filled the warm water on one glass of zinc that Kakung also provided. Darto gave the glass to Jaka, then asked "Did the person you met talk to you?"

"No, Kang. Jaka just saw a close friend of the dead elder. He died while creating the protector of the village of Jaka," replied Jaka then sip little by little the water that Darto had just fed.

"Later teach me how you got in and out of that room. You need not be afraid, I also once felt confusion, when first entered into the black space," continued Darto then leaned his body pepper wall.

At first glance Darto looked at the face of Anto who was sleeping gaping, his friend was sleeping like a dead person beside him, even he did not hear a commotion when Darto shouted. Darto really chuckled at how slick Anto was, he laughed at the whiskers curling over her open lips.

After a bit of calm, Jaka told me everything he witnessed. While Darto can only be silent, and listen carefully. Darto was really surprised to find out if Kanjeng Romo or Kanjeng Darma died in Jaka village. Even Darto immediately nodded in understanding after understanding where the rice Darsa always received when doing the exam first.

After Jaka finished telling the story. Darto opened his voice, he also told me about the journey of Darsa the son of Darma. Jaka was really amazed by all the stories that Darto said, he even immediately threw fear in his heart, after he knew that Darto still had a blood relationship with Kanjeng Darma.

"Means ... Kang Darto is still a descendant of Kanjeng Darma, right?" Tanya Jaka made sure, with an enthusiastic face and sparkling eyes.

"Yes .. I got a lot of his relics, even the goods given to his son are also now in my hands," replied Darto as he tilted his head, he was surprised to see Jaka so happy, after he heard that Darto was still a descendant of Kanjeng Darma.

"Kang .. allow Jaka to help Kang Darto. Jaka has a lot of debt with Kakang ancestors. Please ... Kangs. Teach Jaka so that Jaka can help when fighting a strong enemy" said Jaka while prostrating in front of Darto.

Darto immediately lifted Jaka's body, he felt emotion after seeing Jaka's behavior. Darto actually raised a vein on his forehead, when he saw Jaka sincerely prostrate on him. In a furious rage Darto said, "Never prostrate again! Once again you do that, we better not know each other!"

"Sorry, Kang. I don't know how to thank him" Jaka replied innocently, he felt fear after seeing the angry expression of someone he admired.

"Astagfirullah ...." Said Darto slowly while stroking his chest, he tried to calm himself for a moment, then looked back at Jaka and immediately grabbed Jaka's head while saying, "I probably won't get angry if you hit, Jak. But I don't like it when a fellow creation of God prostrates itself on me. What else helps your family is my ancestor, why do you bow down to me?"

"Never prostrate to anything, Jak. In addition to the same above," continued Darto while returning Jaka's smile.

After that, Jaka just nodded. He felt the admiration in his heart more and more, after hearing the reason Darto was angry. That night, they went back to sleep, and nothing happened again.

🍂🍂🍂🍂

Two weeks passed. Today Darto and Jaka finally began their journey, Jaka was happy because he would see Darto's hometown. He even said he wanted to build a house there, so he could keep seeing Darto after his last fight.

After all the necessary goods were collected, Jaka and Darto returned to the village of kemoceng with Sri and Anto. They went home with the children they were going to show their grandparents, who were waiting for their arrival.

The journey was plastered safe so far, minute by minute, until for hours they had managed to pass. When the day had darkened, Darto only stopped to perform Maghrib prayers followed by isya in any mosque he met in the middle of the trip. Then he again spurred the pace of his car, because Darto really wanted to stay at the grocery store owned by Pak Riski.

After two hours, Darto finally arrived in front of Pak Riski's grocery store. He immediately greeted Bu Yati who was waiting for the stall, continuing to introduce everyone who came with him. After getting to know each other, Darto asked permission to stay at the house again. Fortunately, Pak Riski and Bu Yati always open their doors widely, if they want to be used for the Darto family and all their friends.

After Anto and Sri went into their room. Darto and Jaka who slept in the front room together went out to meet Pak Riski who is now alternately on guard with his wife. After arriving in front of Mr. Riski, Darto ordered two glasses of warm tea while asking, "Pak Riski know whose name is Ki Jumar?"

Hearing Darto's question, Mr. Riski frowned. He felt strange about Darto's question, until he asked again, "What is the need for him, Dar?" He said astonished then close his lips to Darto's ears while whispering, "He's a self-styled kiyai, Dar. I know if he's a shaman. During my time in the pesantren, I have never encountered the teaching of slaughtering a black chicken, if we are to beg for healing."

"Well .. therefore, sir. I just have a little need to be with him" replied Darto also whispered.

"House behind the mosque, Dar. You remember the way to the mosque, right?" Mr. Riski was still whispering. For a moment he circulated his gaze then resumed his sentence after seeing Darto nod, "House which has a tiger statue at his door, statue two, you must immediately find the house, his house is beautiful."

"Okay, Sir. Then I go there now" replied Darto in a whisper. Darto restrained his laughter because he saw Mr. Riski who kept whispering. Though the stall contains only two buyers, the buyer was sitting at the far end with his place to talk.

After Darto said goodbye, that night he also went with Jaka. They walked hand in hand to the mosque, hoping to find a hint of the energy that lay within Jaka's body.
