ADJOINING REALM
PESANTREN

"This is where Kung is?" tanya Darto half conscious because he just woke up.

"You're at Kakung Dar's house, already,"

"Don't we still be in the Kung forest yesterday?"

"Lyo Dar, you passed out for three days, Kakung who carried you here" Kakung explained.

'Is it true that long? I only stopped by the house of Sewbang Wajana until afternoon, but here it is past three days' I murmured in hi, while observing the ring that is now installed on my middle finger.

"Kung, I was actually invited by Grandpa Sastro the occupant of this necklace Kung, he said to prevent the red pocong that continues to follow us, because Kakung was sleeping, so it was safer if Darto joined Grandpa Sastro," my explanation was answered by nodding Kakung's head.

"Worthy of Dar, Kakung is just wondering why you slept so long. Pas Kakung wake up you are already lying on the ground, plus the figure of a red pocong also continues to lurk you Dar. But Dar, for now you're safe here," he answered with an upward look considering what happened.

"Kung, Darto met his friend Grandpa Pengawaitar this necklace, and Darto was given this, what can Darto wear and hold Kung?" I asked while showing the ring I was wearing.

When Kakung's eyes widened, as if not believing what he saw, he hurried to get up and pulled my arm towards the next room.

"Look at the painting" said Kakung, pointing his index finger at the large painting hanging in the middle of the room.

Two men in white clothes were sitting side by side in the painting. One person at a glance is similar to Sewah Turahmin, and another is similar to Kakung, the difference is they are thinner.

"This who's Kung?" manya curious.

"That's the founder of this pesantren Dar, moyamgmu, and also the ancestor of Kakung. see Dar the right hand of the person," he said again pointing to the painting, pointing to one of the people in the painting.

"Why is this so similar?" I said surprised to see the ring my dragon was wearing, the shape was exactly the same as the ring that Mbah Wajana gave.

"Maybe it was passed down to you Dar, who did you get it from?" ask Kakung back.

"His name was Duke Wajana Kung, but Darto was told to call him Sewah, he said that he was a student of his ancestors Darto"

"Hoah, it's appropriate, maybe it's your destiny Dar, Kakung also knows that you are different Dar" he replied with relief.

"Because you're awake, take a shower. Later Kakung invite you around, all Kakung introduce to the santri," said kakung while pointing at the direction of the bathroom.

Kakung's orders were immediately available, after which I immediately rushed away. It didn't take long, my body was already fragrant, the best clothes I had were already attached to my body. "Let's go Kung, Darto has this handsome hehehe," I told Kakung who was still sitting in the living room, waiting for me to prepare from earlier.

Hearing my words, we both rushed to leave the room to tour Kakung's boarding school. My eyes were pampered with magnificent buildings with walls made of cement, with such a large mosque in the middle. Kakung said the mosque was for the public, the natives also use it, not only for the santri and ustad here. Many more places were unfamiliar to me, such as halls, baths with long tubs and showers lined up by his side.

Until finally almost all pesantren places successfully introduced by Kakung. Now we are standing behind the pesantren, in front of a wooden door that is locked with a large chain and a fist-sized padlock.

"What room is this kung?" manya curious.

"Well, since you can also see, let Dar, please introduce you to the residents behind the pesantren" replied Kakung as he reached into the pockets on his shirt, he looked for the key he would use to open the lock in front of him.

"Krieeeet" the rusty sound of the hinges was so loud in the ears when the door opened.

"Look Dar, you will often meet them while you are here" said Kakung while pointing to the crowd of people who are on the move there.

their faces were pale, their skin was as white as cotton, they were learning to joke and teach like santri.

"Assalamu'alaikum pak Yai" said one of the men who suddenly appeared in front of us and grabbed Kakung's hand then kissed the back of his hand.

"Wa'alaikumsalam. how? Have you memorized how much juice?" tanya Kakung was only answered with a scratch of the head.

"Only you are Le, must be playing until you forget to learn" Kakung spoke again.

"No papa Le, the important thing is not to give up, I also do not mean if you do not continue anymore, anyway you can also reward if you can memorize. Dir, know this is my grandson" said Kakung trying to introduce.

"Greetings, my name is Kodir" he said, hand shaking me.

"I am Darto, greetings" I said and hurriedly shook his cold hand.

"Pak Yai, Kodir said goodbye first, wanted to continue learning" he said then left, disappearing like smoke.

"You saw everything, didn't you, Dar? besides Kodir?"

"Njih Kung, Darto see it all"

"You should know, who studied here not only Dar humans, many Kakung students who come from the Next Realm" said Kakung while looking at me straight.

"Let's introduce you the same

someone who also knows everything Dar" continued Kakung then we leave the backyard.

After that, we both walked back towards the center of the pesantren. And after arriving in front of a room, Kakung stopped his footsteps.

"Mother.. Nduk Harti.." call Kakung from the front of the room.

"Jih Mr. Kyai." replied a woman from inside the room, then she ran to see us.

After saying that, she came out to see us. The woman was really beautiful, her nose was flat, her mouth was thin, her eyes were soft, with white skin, and her height was the same as mine.

"What's the matter Mr Yai?" ask Harti while kissing the back of Kakung's hand.

"Known Nduk, This is my grandson named Darto" said Kakung pushing his shoulder to quickly get closer to Harti.

"My name is Darto" I said as I offered my hand to shake hands.

"My name is Harti Mas" did not reach my hand post he just put the palms together.

"Choose, not mahram play call me Dar.. hahahaha!" kakung's laughter watched my handshake be ignored.

"You have the same advantages, Kakung hope you can help each other, and closer to the future" said Kakung then left us both to get acquainted.

"Sorry, can you see the subtle creatures too?"

"Yes Mas, I also saw the one in the ring and necklace that Mas was wearing" her reply slightly shocked me, because the necklace I was using was hiding neatly under my clothes.

"Have you been a long time?"

"It's from my little Mas, so my parents sent me here" he said with a sweeping view around the cottage area.

"What's wrong, Mommy? Why keep looking there?" I asked as I pointed to the garden beside where we were talking.

With a slightly frightened look, he scouted back around the area, then whispered softly in front of my ear.

"Since Mas came here, I've seen red pocongs. Is he Temen Mas?"
