After leaving Ki Jumar's house, Jaka and Darto immediately returned to Pak Riski's house. Seeing that the grocery store was closed, Darto immediately invited Jaka to enter Pak Riski's house even without permission.

The two of them immediately fell asleep at that moment, so that they did not feel the dawn that was so loud managed to wake them both. All the people who stayed immediately went to perform the morning worship at the mosque near the grocery store, only Sri and Bu Yati who stopped because he took care of the baby he was carrying, while Bu Yati this time got a guard ration.

After finishing the prayer, Darto, Jaka, Anto and Sri did breakfast in the grocery store, before they finally returned to continue their journey to their hometown. Not a single thing happened on the way, the forest that had once been a scourge had already managed to pass through without any problems.

When he reached the village of kemoceng, Darto and Jaka immediately brought all their goods and Sri goods to the house of Anto. They stopped by to just meet, and went straight to Darto's house that had not been visited for a long time.

That afternoon Jaka immediately fell asleep in the room of Darto's house, while Darto just laid his body in front of the terrace while looking at the rice fields with a breeze that continued to greet his skin. Darto intends to spend the night at his home today, before tomorrow they continue their journey back.

After the adhan maghrib was heard, Darto and Jaka immediately went to Langgar to perform prayers, and they immediately returned after the completion of the prayer isya.

Darto slightly incised a smile when he saw Jaka was frightened, also felt afraid of the black figure of banana tree dwellers near his house. Darto who saw that, really immediately nostalgic with his childhood was in fear beside Mbah Turahmin.

"He's my friend, Jak. Do not be afraid," said Darto while patting Jaka's shoulder. He tried to remove the body of Jaka who was sculpting in the middle of the rice field because of fear.

After Darto patted Jaka's shoulder, Jaka could immediately escape from his sculpting body, he then followed Darto's steps with a body that still shook violently. In his fear he said, "Kang, why is he so angry with me, he's not like Ki Jumar's pet."

"Perhaps because he doesn't know you yet, Jak, and the one in Ki Jumar's house thinks you're their leader" said Darto as he continued to step toward his home.

"Why is that thing's energy in my body, Kang?" asked back, he put on a downcast face because he felt the energy in his body was one thing that was hated by all his family.

"Tomorrow maybe we'll get an answer, Jak. Later you go to sleep, tomorrow we leave at dawn," replied Darto then embrace Jaka's shoulders.

"Where else are we going, Kang?" back Jaka asked while frowning.

"It's free if I explain, Jak. Tomorrow you will see firsthand" said Darto while pulling Jaka, then stepped quickly, to quickly reach his home.

Arriving at home, Jaka, who had not been awake for a long time from his afternoon sleep, could not close his eyes at all. After a long time he tried to sleep, Jaka finally gave up and followed Darto who was smoking in the living room that night.

"Bye, Jak. It was tea in the bag, I took it at Anto's house" Darto replied briefly pointing at the bag lying next to Jaka.

"There's hot water, kang?" Tanya Jaka is back.

"There ... earlier this afternoon I have cooked, but if it is not hot enough to cook again, the firewood is still a lot behind," replied Darto as he stood up, he tried to check the rest of the hot water he was cooking earlier.

Jaka who saw Darto go towards the kitchen, he immediately followed in his footsteps. After arriving in the kitchen, the flask that was in the afternoon full contents of Darto was not closed tightly. So inevitably they have to cook water again, if they want to drink hot water.

Jaka and Darto immediately started a fire inside the furnace. After the fire had burned they put one aluminum kettle that was black almost all parts. And after that, while waiting for the hot water, Darto and Jaka just sit next to the blaze while warming their bodies.

Jaka who saw the fire blazing before his eyes, immediately recalled the fight he had seen in the dream. That night Jaka again told me in detail, what form the fire figure he saw in the dream. While Darto still listened, even though he had heard the story of Jaka.

"So, you don't have to think no. I know, you must think your energy is not something fun. But, Jak ... a knife can be a tool to kill or a tool to cook, it all depends on who holds it. If you use that energy for good, then it makes no difference between your energy and mine" said Darto after Jaka stopped telling stories. Darto felt that tonight Jaka was regretting something he had.

Hearing Darto's words, Jaka could only nod. In his heart began to grow a sense of pride, from something he had not wanted at all. Jaka really felt grateful for being able to meet with Darto, at that time he felt that Darto was a figure that was more than appropriate, to be a role model.

After the water was cooked, they immediately brewed two glasses of bitter tea and brought it to the living room. That night Darto told about the fate of his family that was so sad. Jaka who was listening carefully immediately felt angry with the treatment of Gending, but at the end of the story Jaka actually felt sorry for the woman who lived hundreds of years.

Not only that, Jaka continued to hear a series of stories of Darto's journey, he felt everything experienced by Darto was an extraordinary story, although the story would certainly only be considered as a fantasy, he said, in the eyes of others. After hearing Darto Jaka's long story, he went to his room and said, "I'll try, Kang. Now I fully believe in the reality of the people next door, and I also strongly believe in Kang Darto."

Darto immediately incised a smile on his lips, he felt Jaka's speech was really a relief, even though Darto was actually also frightened. Darto thought that if Jaka was a time bomb, he felt that Jaka could be a valuable friend, as well as an opponent who would be troublesome.

But after Darto heard that Jaka believed in him, his worries disappeared in the blink of an eye. Darto began to have confidence in the young man, until he unconsciously said a promise. Promise to himself, that he will help Jaka with everything he has.
