"Chah.. Darto left first, Si Mbah take care of health, Mbah. Don't be too mean in the rice fields, too" I said in a kiss on the back of Mbah Turahmin's hand.

"Yes Dar. You must also have a spirit of learning. If you've come home from there there there are also those who want to teach Sumpah here,"

"Jih... Pray for all Darto affairs smoothly," I replied as I stepped away along with Kakung who had been waiting since.

"Tokay! Take care of the Mbah, yes!" I said from a distance, waving my hand.

"Ready Dar! don't forget!" yelled Anto from beside Si Mbah standing up.

...***...

Today Kakung and I left the village even at dawn. When the sun was still timidly revealing itself, we both had already rushed out of the house.

Just some clothes that I brought, because Kakung said that there will be a new one. Kakung said there were many shops standing, it could be called a developed city. Even according to Kakung, the closest city to our village is still said to be a lagging city, compared to Kakung.

"The dar... We can take the usual path through someone else, but it takes 2 weeks to get to Kakung's house, you want 2 weeks, Dar?"

"Huh? Two weeks, Kung?" I was really surprised to hear the time it took me to get there.

"Yes, Dar, you see the net twisting. But if you want to bother a little through the road that is far from the crowds and also steep, we can take a shortcut through the Dar forest. If we go through the forest, it only takes 7 days. You brought food, right?" kakung's question was only answered with a nod.

"Enough for how many days? If Kakung bring enough for four days if you eat three meals a day, if made twice a day, that's enough for 6 days," ask the kakung who was thinking about corn rice in the two stacks of bushels he brought.

"Darto also brought two stacks of Rantang Kung,"

answer's short.

"Well, let's just say Dar, we walk While fasting can be quite rewarding, and starting tomorrow morning, until the next year you must fast every day Dar. besides the day that was forbidden, Dar, you can?"

"Are the kakung and Simbah also fasting first?"

manya curious.

"Back fasting Dar, but only Monday Thursday, from the past until now is still the way, Simbah Tumin also from him on Thursday like Kakung"

"Why is Darto different Kung,?"

I made Kakung think a little.

"Because you are also different Dar, we have discussed later while walking, now let's go Dar, we are through the forest right?"

"Darto is the same as Kakung,"

After the discussion, Kakung and I agreed to take a shortcut. When I first came out of the village I was faced with a small intersection, and we chose to turn left.

The further from the intersection, began to look no more people who passed through the city. The houses are no longer visible. There were only shrubs under the tree as long as the eye could see.

We keep walking at a fast pace. Every now and then we have to jump from rock to rock to cross the river. uphill, downhill, even muddy land we have gone crazy today.

"Knees.. Is Kakung not a Capek?"

"You tired, Dar? Cooking young is easy to lack"

"It's not so kung, Darto meant that Kakung was tired, let Darto pijit Kakung's feet" I replied gruntly.

"Wow, Yes, Dar. Kakung is suddenly tired."

"Not so deh Kung, Darto already lackluster"

"Emang grandson with Si Mbahnya not much different, as well as rich father Dar. Although talented make people dongkol, but your heart is very good," said Kakung with a look up.

"Indeed how is Father Kung?" tanyaku while kneading slowly Kakung feet beside the fire that we have lit after the magrib earlier.

"Your nosy father asked for forgiveness Dar, when he was eight years old, he was the same friends playing hide and seek, same mother as well. Only your father Dar can make a stir of one pesantren" he replied still with a look of glare far up into the sky.

"What kind of geger is Kung?"

"Scooking hide and seek mengumpetnya up to three days do not meet. Well, when he came home, he didn't realize that he was carrying anything dangerous, he was wearing a necklace from the other side. He said he was stray when he was stuck, kept meeting grandfathers who suddenly took him around. He said before your father was ushered home, the grandfather gave a necklace of green stone hangers that made one boarding school suddenly possessed together," said Kakung while smiling to remember the past.

"Is the necklace like this Kung?" I asked as I took my hands off the massage and grabbed the necklace I was wearing from behind my shirt.

Her big eyes suddenly widened when she saw the necklace I was wearing. "Where did you get Dar?"

"This is Dining Kung's gift, Darto's birthday gift first. He tipped to a friend of Darto who just died yesterday, and last night new darto received this necklace from Satya. He was still in the dream, but strangely when Darto woke up his necklace was really in my hands, Kung,"

"You've been able to get to their nature Dar?" tanya Simbah Kakung was astonished.

"I mean Kakung?" i'm flustered.

"Before, when your friend died, fitting Kakung pick you up in nature. Have you ever been to a dark place? so dark that you can not see anything, even see your own hands can not. Also so lonely you can not hear anything even as loud as you scream still can not hear your own voice." asked sembah hastily holding both of my shoulders with both hands.

"Sampun Kung, how many times did Darto suddenly get there,"

"However, it means that Kakung does not need to be tired anymore to teach you,"

"What is Kung?"

"Later you also know yourself, Tomorrow morning you have to report, what the necklace waiter said to you Dar. tonight he must meet you!" order of solace with a serious face.

"Is it possible Kung? if this is the same necklace, like the one you brought?" ask me for wonder

"Yes dar. Kakung had told me to throw away the necklace because it made a hassle. But because it's a nice rock and it's also rare that people have, much to ask, Dar. Instead of being dumped, your father even gave to his village friend whose mother is Dadang,"

"Sir Dadang? isn't that Dining's parents, is it Kung?''

"Yes Dar, pity the Dadang, same Son, may they calm there, you are also Dar. Si Mbah Kakung did not know it was fate or how, but the necklace returned to its original owner. However you are the flesh and blood of your Father, he may like your Father first,"

Hearing the answer of the Mbah really made me curious. Is it true that Dining's necklace is a necklace from my Father? If true, does this necklace really have a occupant?
