ADJOINING REALM
TRAGEDIES

Darto and Maung darted away from the place full of blood. Still the same as when riding Komang, Maung stopped his running rate every 20 seconds so that Darto could breathe as long as his lungs could accommodate.

When they all returned to the human world, the time that was plastered was almost afternoon, the sky had started to change color to a pseudo-orange, signifying that the ashar time was almost here.

Darto did not change his purpose at that time, he still asked Maung to run back, to his hometown which might be reached in a few minutes.

Maung immediately nodded, he ran as hard as he could and only took less than ten minutes to reach the village.

Maung went straight to the place where Darto directed, he stopped right behind Mbah Turahmin's house, then dropped off his best friend.

"Thank you, Maung ... Tomorrow please come back here again, or you can sleep here too if you want," said Darto shortly after getting off Maung's back.

"Just do everything you want to do, Dar. Don't think of me, now the time you have is not much" said Maung with the corner of his lips floating.

Darto nodded immediately, then patted Maung on the back, and let Maung go so quickly somewhere.

After that Darto walked around the house, and knocked on the wooden door that was displayed in front of his eyes.

"Assalamu'alaikum.." cried Darto as he knocked on the door three times.

The Mbah Turahmin who heard the sound of his grandson rushed straight out of his room. He slightly ran towards the main door, and quickly opened the door for his granddaughter.

"Wa'alaykumussalam, here come in, Dar," Mbah Turahmin said as he pulled his grandson's arm.

After Darto entered, the two of them sat in the living room. And then a long conversation happened.

"How, Dar? is all your business done?" tanya Mbah turahmin with a face that looks so curious.

"Alhamdulillah, Mbah .. but it looks like Darto will go again. Sumpah don't wait for Darto again, if little Darto comes home after tomorrow Darto leaves, please don't ask anything more about the dream or the future that I have told you about," replied Darto while looking at Mbah Turahmin's eyes.

"So you know how to get back?" asked Mbah Turahmin with a happy face.

"Already, Mbah .. hence Darto here," replied Darto still with a gloomy face.

"Why is that, Dar? sesahu Si Mbah ... The grandson of the Mbah is not that whiny," asked Mbah Turahmin after seeing Darto continue to moody.

"May Darto hug Si Mbah?" darto answered the question.

"Ha ha ha ha .. Why not?" Mbah Turahmin spread his hand.

Darto immediately approached and sat in front of Si Mbah Turahmin. He tightly hugged the body of the old man in front of him in a sitting position, then buried his head in a wrinkled chest wrapped in a worn striated cloth on the body of Si Mbah Turahmin.

Darto was silent at that time, he was crying silently, without the slightest words coming out of his lips.

The body, temperature, even the aroma that Darto very familiar with it really makes Darto immediately collapsed and can not say anything more.

Darto was truly grateful to be able to see something he might never see again in real life.

Although only a dream or illusion, satisfaction, pleasure and gratitude for being able to see each other and even talk with Si Mbah Turahmin really lodged in Darto's heart without any lies.

"Dar? Not let go yet?" tanya Si Mbah after quite crowded because Darto's embrace is so strong.

"Sorry, Mbah .. sorry if Darto continues to trouble Si Mbah from the time Darto was born," said Darto while releasing a hug, he lowered his head while wiping the water that had wet his cheeks evenly.

"What are you Dar? The Mbah never felt the slightest bit bothered, or distress. You will know for yourself the happiness of having offspring, and the happiness will lose when compared to when you are elderly, but can still see the tiny body that carries your blood," replied Si Mbah while stroking the head of Darto.

"Why ask permission? whether you come from the future, or come from a different world, you are still the grandson of the Mbah, and this house will be yours later, too" The Mbah stood up this time, saying, he headed for the room to grab the peci, then walked slowly back towards the living room.

"Let's go to the breach," asked Si Mbah.

Darto immediately wiped the remaining tears that still pooled in his eye bags, he smiled so widely and then said, "Si Mbah just first, Darto want to take a shower for a while, later immediately followed."

Mbah Turahmin immediately nodded, he went to the hangar first to echo the Adhan.

After that, Darto bathed at lightning speed, he followed the Mbah Turahmin to the breach, and fulfilled the obligation of congregation with his family and friends.

Darto spent the day just joking after performing the Ashar prayer, he gathered with Anto, Satya and Dining.

Darto continued to look at Satya and Dining with an inexplicable gaze, until Satya and Dining continued to ridicule Darto's gaze.

That day Darto just wanted to spend time with people who had been close to him, but already separated by the life line in his world.

Darto even invited three of his friends to stay at his house that day. And Darto was really lucky because none of them rejected Darto's invitation at that time.

Elsewhere, Jaka, Sastro, Wajana, Komang and Maung also spend their last night meeting all their loved ones.

After the morning greet, just when the dawn prayer has been completed, Maung is already in front of Darto's house.

Si Mbah was really surprised to see a big black cat whose size even exceeded his imagination.

"Dar! Who's she?!" said Si Mbah Turahmin while shivering in horror.

"He's my friend, Mbah. Does Mbah know? He is one of the oldest forest dwellers, he belongs to Eyang Semar" replied Darto with a slightly arrogant face.

Silence at that time, he looked at his grandson and Maung with a look of disbelief. His face was really like a possessed person, and immediately made Darto and Maung who saw the face was immediately crushed without warning.

After being satisfied to see the face of Si Mbah Turahmin stunned, Darto immediately say goodbye.

Darto immediately kissed the back of Mbah Turahmin's wrinkled hand, then darted away without carrying any items.

At that time Darto and Maung went to the boarding school again, to fulfill the promise they had made with four other friends.

Arriving there, Jaka and Komang had already come first, while Sastro and Wajana had not revealed their nostrils.

While waiting, Darto also did the same thing with what Darto had done to Si Mbah Turahmin. He hugged Kakung tightly with haru feeling, happy and also misses mixed evenly.

Until the time came Sastro and Wajana came, Darto said goodbye to Kakung to leave.

At that time Darto and his five friends walked to the backyard of the pesantren. They were about to do something that only Darto and Maung knew, which was none other than the way for them to return.

The six men walked in with smiles floating on their lips, as they felt they were already quite satisfied looking at every single person they had missed.

That day, there was a tragedy right in the backyard of the boarding school owned by Kiyai Amat Sawaji, or commonly called Kakung.

The six men who had originally walked over with smiles on their faces, it was certain that they had all met their end.
