ADJOINING REALM
THE MASH AND JAKA

In the afternoon, Darto along with 24 remote village groups finally arrived, they arrived at the boarding school owned by Kakung right before the Maghrib. Some residents decided to stop, but most immediately went to the house owned by his wife and husband.

There are now only eight people who are elderly, including Abah Ramli and Si Mboknya. So besides that there are only three old men and two elderly women left, considering they still have a family.

Seeing some people leave, Abah Ramli actually felt a little relieved. He thought that if only six people hitchhiked, it would not be too troublesome for Kakung. After the backs of all the residents who left were no longer visible, they finally entered together towards Kakung's house.

Kakung and Mbah Turahmin immediately welcomed them. Five people besides Jaka Abah Ramli and Si Mbok Jaka were immediately directed to go to the cottage dormitory used by the students. Fortunately there are still many empty rooms that do not have residents, so they are free to choose a place to rest.

As for Jaka and Si Mbok they requested permission to stay overnight at Kakung's house, also asking that Darto send his mother to Kampung persimmon to meet with Pak Akbar. Abah Ramli also got a room in Kakung's house, considering he's an old friend who is so familiar, that Kakung without thinking directly gives a place for his best friend.

All those who have traveled directly fall asleep when after performing the isya prayer. They are very tired because almost a day of walking on his feet, in his sleep they continue to smile, because they feel very happy after being able to see the crowd back.

In the morning, Darto immediately sent Si Mbok and Jaka to the village of persimmon. They arrived after a four-hour drive, then parked the car in front of the mosque as Darto had done before.

Darto with Si Mbok and Jaka walked towards Pak Akbar's house while carrying a lot of goods. Darto had stopped by the market and bought a lot of clothes and cooking utensils before leaving for persimmon village. As a result, luggage and back seats are completely filled with piles of furniture tools.

When he arrived at the house where Darto and Jaka had stopped. They stopped because they saw a different scene in front of them. The house that originally used bamboo rooms, was completely different.

The reot hut has become a classic wooden walled house, with all the carvings in every corner and the bones of the house. The stilt house is so large, with rows of stairs made of granite stone emblazoned in front of a teak door that is quite large.

"This is really your Mbah's house, Jak?" asked Si Mbok with a doubtful face.

"Yesterday when Jaka came here there is no house, Mbok," replied Jaka while putting on a face that is not less confused with Si Mboknya.

"Have ... we try to tap first," said Darto and then up the stairs.

"Assalamu'alaikum!" shouted Darto while knocking on the big door three times.

"Wa'alaykumussalam" answered a man from his house. The man opened the door casually, but after seeing his guest he immediately ran and hugged Darto, then moved on to Jaka, and finally hugged Si Mbok Jaka.

"Cari! You are healthy Nduk ... You are very confused with you," said Mr. Akbar while holding his daughter's body tightly, his body immediately shook because he felt very happy.

"Sari also misses the same Father," replied Si Mbok immediately dropped all the goods in his hand, then clutched Pak Akbar with tears that continued to pour over his cheeks.

"Come, Ndok, Jaka, Nak Darto. We talk inside," continued Mr. Akbar after hugging his daughter for a long time, he stepped in leading the way, while continuing to wipe his still wet cheeks.

"The house is so big, Mbah," said Jaka shortly after entering his house.

"Your case is also big Jaka, try to see in the room," said Mr. Akbar while pointing at a door. "While Sari's room is that," he continued, pointing at another door.

"Thank you, Sir. But where did you get that kind of money?" ask Si Mbok Sari.

"That's what's loving. He bought your necklace, but then the necklace was returned to your son, Sar," said Mr. Akbar complained about Darto's behavior.

"Have .. don't discuss it again. Later I ask again if it is still being revealed," said Darto a little laugh.

"Just thank you very much, son. Not only taking care of my son, you even helped Father, and also bought so many items in the market. How can I thank you, son?" si Mbok Jaka.

"Already, Mbok ... Jaka has been like my own sister, so let's just say that it's the windfall of Si Mbok's son, and also the grandson of Mbah Akbar who just met pas already big, he he he he," said Darto while stroking the rough head of Jaka.

"Kang Darto is the smartest man, Mbok. What else if the business for an excuse, ha ha ha ha," said Jaka and immediately got a laugh from all his listeners.

"You hungry? I've cooked some rice, let me get you a side dish for a second, okay?" asked Mr. Akbar and immediately got a nod of everyone's head. They did not even have time to eat breakfast, because Jaka kept asking to speed up his trip.

After Mr. Akbar left, Darto asked Jaka in front of his Mbok, "Jak, you still want to come with me?"

Jaka immediately turned to Si Mbok, he felt indecisive for a moment, but after Si Mbok nodded, Jaka immediately replied with a gaze that described firmness, "Definitely, Kang."

"You can stay here, Jak. I won't force you if you don't want to go" continued Darto.

"No, Kang. I can stay calm after helping Kang Darto," Jaka replied as he stared into the eyes of his interlocutor.

"Then" said Darto with a smile, then turned to Si Mbok and said, "I ask the blessing of Si Mbok to bring Jaka."

The Mbok immediately smiled, he stared softly at Darto and said, "Please take care of this wayward sister, Dar. I'm sure if he's with you, he'll be fine,"

Darto and Jaka immediately smiled at the same time, and shortly after that Mr. Akbar had returned with two bags of crackles in his hands. They continued eating together, Darto was happy to see the happiness that emanated from the eyes of the three people in front of him, and after the meal finished Darto immediately left everyone.

They also sent Darto to his car, because it feels bad if only sending people who are so meritorious in his life, only up to the door of his house.

"Jaka .. wait for me to pick you up, huh?" said Darto from inside the car that was already on.

"Jaka just wait, Kang. If Madam Harti already want to be born, just pick up Jaka here," replied Jaka then waved his hand, accompanying the departure of Darto who was heading to his home.
