ADJOINING REALM
JAKA VILLAGE

The night had greeted, after busy doing their respective activities, everyone who stopped at Kakung's house began to sleep in their rooms. While Darto and Harti are still awake, and continue to throw conversations on their cots.

"Dek .. sorry yes, Dek. Mas immediately want to go again, when only last night Mas returned here," said Darto as he looked at Harti.

Hearing Darto's words, Harti immediately tilted his body, then looked at his husband's face while saying, "It's okay, Mas. Harti knows, if Mas actually wants to continue at home,"

Hearing that, the corner of Darto's lips immediately floated, his palm immediately landed on Harti's cheek, then rubbed the smooth cheek with his thumb while saying, "Thank you, Deck. I am so grateful to have such a patient wife like you."

Harti's eyes immediately glazed over, he looked at the man who was desperately longed for with love, but he also had to let him go again after a long wait.

"Asal Mas Darto returned home safely, Harti was very grateful," continued Harti while shedding tears.

Darto who saw Harti spilled a clear grain from the corner of his eye, he immediately grabbed Harti's head, and buried his chest to drown his wife's face. At that time, Darto really understood if Harti was lying, to just make Darto not anxious when leaving him.

"Deck ... I'll be gone for a few days. After returning to the same Jaka village, Mas promised to stop until our hero was born," said Darto trying to calm Harti. Right now Harti was actually crying in his arms.

"Did you promise, did you?" Harti answered while raising his head that was originally bowed in Darto's chest.

"Yes, Deck. Hopefully, during that time, we do not encounter any problems," hoped Darto while looking at his wife who was staring at him with sparkling eyes.

"Thank you, Mas" Harti immediately hugged Darto so tightly they continued to do that, until without feeling they both fell asleep with wet eyes on their faces, until morning greeted.

The eyes of the day have begun to rise. After enough preparation, Darto, Jaka and Abah Ramli left for Jaka's hometown. They left immediately after saying goodbye to everyone. At that time the three men set foot in unison, heading east simultaneously.

"How Many Hours, Bah? The time it takes to get there?" asked Darto when he was following Abah Ramli's steps.

"Seven to eight hours, Dar," replied Abah Ramli as he continued to step, not staring at Darto.

"That means at least I stayed there last night huh, Bah?" Connect Darto.

"Yes, Dar. Later I will give all the relics of Kanjeng Darma to you, because it is your right as his successor," this time Abah Ramli looked at Darto and stopped his footsteps.

"We're talking about when we get there, Bah. Let's continue again, afraid too late in the road" said Darto as he nodded towards Jaka.

Hearing that, Abah Ramli continued his footsteps again. The three of them actually continued to walk like horses. There was no fatigue at all on their feet, even though they had been walking for five hours.

"We pray Ashar first, Yuk. In front of it's all checked," pinta Abah Ramli. He stopped in front of the thicket of bushes that were already visible in front of his face.

For almost two hours they walked. With the direction Abah Ramli gave, they continued to step into the crowd of bushes before their eyes. Darto was surprised to see the steadiness of Abah Ramli when walking, he even praised the dexterity of the parents in determining the direction.

Not long after that, Darto and Jaka could see two trees that were so big standing before their eyes. Once the tree was clearly visible, Abah Ramli and the two youths behind him walked over with a slight run as the day had darkened.

It took only half an hour, they ended up coming out of the thickets that stretched so long behind them. Abah Ramli immediately expressed gratitude for being able to get out of the bush area before the sky was completely dark. He had said that when night fell, there was no other choice but to rest on the muddy ground in the middle of the bush. Because he only relied on the radiance of sunlight, to guide the direction of their steps.

After coming out of the bush, they continued to walk after praying the maghrib congregation. No matter how dark the road they walked, they continued to advance until now had managed to get under a large tree standing next to each other.

"We're here, Dar. This is the gate of our village" said Abah Ramli, holding a tree trunk so high.

"So this is the dome that Kanjeng Darma created?" sahut Darto while trying to touch the dome of light that is still so shiny despite being hundreds of years old.

"Can you see the dome?" Abah Ramli asked in surprise.

"Here I want to hold, Bah." Darto answered briefly then touched the dome.

After the dome was touched by Darto, Jaka and Abah Ramli immediately rounded their eyes. For the first time they could see clearly, the form of energy that had been protecting his hometown. That energy formed a semicircle, with a size much larger than their shadow.

When everyone was amazed to see the dome, something strange happened. The energy of the dome slowly entered, seeping into every pore of Darto's hand. Jaka who was aware of that, immediately immediately shouted, "Kang! The protector could be gone!"

Hearing Jaka yell, Darto immediately pulled his palm from the dome. Unfortunately, the light continued to enter Darto's body even without being touched though.

Responding to that, Darto, Abah Ramli and Jaka immediately ran as hard as they could towards their village. The energy of the domes had already completely dimmed, very different from when they had just arrived. The three of them were very worried about the villagers if their neck binding energy could be felt by the enemies who were constantly searching for their whereabouts.

Luckily .... Along with the loss of the dome above their heads, Jaka, Abah Ramli and also Darto have reached Jaka's hometown. The three men immediately scattered and simultaneously shouted at all the residents who were inside his house, "Get out! Hurry along! Gather at Jaka's house!"

The atmosphere of the village instantly became rowdy. They ran without knowing the truth of the commandment. Fortunately, in an instant all the residents had arrived at Jaka's house. They immediately gathered in the courtyard of the house, and immediately obeyed all the orders of their elders.

One by one the energy that binds the neck of the population is cut off and absorbed by Jaka's body. They were all finally free from shackles, even though something had already first discovered their existence.

Behind the darkness, a pair of shining eyes was observing all the inhabitants. He continued to stare nanar in the same direction, with a violent and wrathful expression on his face.
