ADJOINING REALM
HARVESTS

After receiving rejection from Darto and Jaka, Eyang Semar took the two young men to different places. Now Darto and Jaka arrived at a large building, which was no less magnificent than the kingdom of Sendang Langit they had seen in the test. Eyang invited them inside to meet someone who was sitting on a throne.

"What did Romo take the time to come here? Isn't it almost harvest time?" ask someone who has a very strong body. Wibawa emanated from every curve of his body but his face exuded perfect wisdom.

"I want to leave my granddaughter, you have no job, right?" sahut Eyang pointed towards Darto and Jaka who were confused behind him.

For a moment the man watched Jaka and Darto closely. His gaze looked at every curve of the two young men in front of him, until a moment later he said, "Darma and Surya?"

Eyang smiled looking at the man's expression, then while smiling Eyang replied to his words, "They're his descendants."

The man immediately approached Darto and Jaka, then stretched out his right arm and said, "I am Samasta, grandson of Amerta, great-grandfather of Darma."

Darto was really surprised he immediately grabbed Samasta's helping hand and said, "I'm Darto, Mbah. I still have your bloodline."

Samasta immediately rubbed Darto's head with a smile and then he turned to Jaka and asked as he reached out his hand, "Who is the name of Surya's successor?"

"Jaka," replied Jaka briefly still with a face of disbelief.

"You're confused, right?" eyang Semar asked slightly. He feels funny with Darto and Jaka who seem to hoard a million questions.

Hearing Eyang's question, Darto and Jaka simply nodded and waited for an explanation of his continuation.

"She's already I consider my grandson, Dar, Jak. He has a duty to stay here, "Eyang explained.

"He's human?" sahut Darto without further ado.

"Are there people who live thousands of years?" timpal asked again.

Jaka immediately shook his head, while Darto just looked down. Darto did not respond at all to what Eyang said, he actually looked gloomy.

Seeing the moody Darto Eyang immediately diverted the conversation back, "Samasta ... Please train them."

Samasta immediately nodded, he was willing to accommodate Darto and Jaka without the slightest bargain. After nodding Samasta again asked Eyang in front of her, "Who is their opponent?"

"Just like Darma and Surya, but I'm sure this time they can defeat the creature" said Eyang.

"Alright ... then everything will be taught to my successor and also his friend," said Samasta with floating lips.

After getting Samasta's approval, Eyang spoke to Darto and Jaka in front of him, "You guys just practice here while waiting for the harvest. The person in front of you once defeated a creature even more powerful than banaspati."

Darto and Jaka immediately nodded without a second thought. They agreed to follow Eyang's advice without the slightest hesitation.

After Darto and Jaka agreed, Eyang left the building alone. He left Darto and Jaka then stepped towards his home again.

While Darto and Jaka were still unfamiliar with their new residence, they were given a single room that had two cots inside. Then after looking at their room, Samasta invites them around to introduce her residence.

Jaka looked confused and immediately asked, "I mean?"

Samasta who saw Darto bowed did not continue the question. He made a new question to divert the conversation, "You guys first met Eyang?"

Jaka and Darto nodded immediately, and Samasta reopened the question, "Do you want to practice now, or do you want to rest first?"

"If I may want to just practice, one day is very valuable to me, so it would be better if not to waste time," replied Darto as he looked up, while Jaka immediately agreed with a nod.

Seeing the seriousness of desire in the eyes of Darto and Jaka, Samasta immediately smiled and invited them into a building like a pendopo. There Darto and Jaka were taught how to use energy first.

The way Samasta uses energy energy is completely different. Samasta does not need to mold his energy into a weapon first, because Samasta considers a formless weapon the most dangerous weapon.

Darto and Jaka immediately remembered the story of Abah Ramli who said that the leader of the moth could kill hundreds of men without showing his form, from that Darto and Jaka immediately agreed to learn how to use the energy taught by Samasta.

One week passed, Darto and Jaka were able to use energy as suggested by Samasta, the remaining three weeks Darto and Jaka trained to get used to applying the teachings of the past in the fight.

Darto and Jaka continued to fight each other for two weeks, and the last week was the time left for Darto and Jaka to face Samasta.

The progress seemed so striking from the two young men. Samasta could not even believe the prowess of her two proteges.

Samasta was completely overwhelmed against Jaka and Darto when they attacked simultaneously, even if Darto and Jaka were alone he could still overcome it with little effort.

"Darto ... Jaka?! May you put an end to the fate that our families bear. I really wish you were the last person I trained, and no more of our descendants would come here" Samasta said. He felt compassion for the fate that was borne by himself as well as all his lineages.

"Si Mbah just calm down, now Kang Darto has great help. So we definitely won, he he he he," replied Jaka cengengesan.

Seeing Jaka's behavior, the worries in Samasta and Darto's heart gradually disappeared, they returned to laughing, interrupted by wasted time to wait for the arrival of Eyang Semar who had not yet picked them up.

After a day had passed, Eyang Semar came carrying a rice set that was still wrapped in crust, and had not become rice in his hands. He handed the axe to Samasta and said, "Sorry it's too late, yesterday I harvested first, this is ration for you Samasta."

"I got it too, Father?" samasta Sahut.

"Have received it, this is a gift for taking care of my granddaughter for a month" forced Eyang.

Hearing Eyang's coercion, Samata immediately nodded with a smile. He seemed very happy when he grabbed the thing that Eyang gave out. In his smile he said countless words of thanks.

After giving a little more to Samasta, Darto and Jaka were again invited back to Eyang's house. They walked through the road that they had passed, and had stopped at the village of Dayang to just divide the harvest that Eyang had brought in his pocket.

After all the food rations had been distributed, Darto and Jaka went straight to Eyang's house with a smile on their faces. They can't wait to meet their beloved family.
