ADJOINING REALM
EXTRA PART

"Kang! Hurry along! Chew this fruit!" jaka said as he thrust the magical fruit he had just taken from Darto's pants pocket.

Jaka and four friends were really surprised when they saw Darto lying, in front of a throne chair that had been crushed to pieces after the sound of a very powerful explosion.

The explosion of the energy that Darto exerted was really very powerful, because it was a combined attack of all the energy that was on his body. The energy he got from all his friends as well as all the elders who had given everything.

That one attack managed to exterminate thousands of souls, which were in one enemy's body until it was left.

But even so, Darto was also affected by his own attacks, he was literally dying, as his body was churned after losing all energy.

Fortunately five of his friends arrived on time, so he could still survive the death that was so close.

Darto, who did not have the energy to chew the fruit, was saved when Jaka squeezed the fruit and dripped fruit juice into the lips of Darto.

With just one drop, the power of Darto slightly returned, and after that Darto tried to chew the fruit while saying, "Thank you, Jak. You guys weren't affected by the explosion, were you?"

All of Darto's friends immediately chuckled. They do not believe that Darto is still worried about others, even though he himself has been battered in that place.

After that, they all regrouped inside room number two. After agreeing, Darto invited all room residents to leave the room.

Everyone went inside Mbok Kanti's room, then went through the back door.

"Junk... Take them to my house, you've been through this forest, haven't you? Let them build a house there, for the matter of eating just ask Antok first," said Darto with a sad face after opening the door using the energy of Kanti's legacy.

"Kang Darto didn't come?" ask Jaka curiously.

Hearing that, Darto told what had been whispered by Eyang Semar. All of Darto's friends immediately rounded their eyes, then they simultaneously said, "I will also stay here."

Jaka also said the same word, but Darto rejected the request outright.

Jaka had given him so much help, and Darto no longer wanted to incriminate the only human friend who always struggled beside him.

"Please, Jak... You know where I am, just come if there is time" said Darto as he opened the back door.

Jaka just nodded, he then stepped up, and brought all the residents of room number two to head for the village.

It took a day of travel to get to Darto's old house, because not a few of the people Jaka brought had old age.

After arriving, Jaka rushed to Anto's house, he asked for help to accommodate everyone, while asking for help to find a handyman who could help with the construction.

After a month passed, Jaka who had finished taking care of all the needs of the residents of room number two, immediately ran towards the forest where the back door of Kanti's room was located.

He ran as he continued to move, until he reached the place so quickly.

But when Jaka called Darto's name from under the banyan tree, he got no answer at all. Darto did not respond, and made him confused what to do.

Jaka kept calling the names of all his friends, but the same thing happened. Jaka still did not get an answer, although his voice was already completely hoarse as he continued to shout with his voice.

With a downcast face Jaka returned to Anto's house, he asked for help to be escorted to the boarding school, and fortunately Anto who was old enough to take him without much talking.

Jaka returned to the pesantren smoothly at that time, Anto immediately returned home after meeting Harti and Dava for a while, considering he also could not stay overnight because there was no Darto in the place.

Jaka ran towards Ratna at that time, he hugged a mature woman who was holding a toddler on his shoulder, then kissed the forehead of the only princess who was carrying her child.

Ratna immediately cried at that time, she brought Jaka into the house, so that she could meet Magisna who had waited long enough.

But even though the shape of his face was different, Magisna remained irreplaceable in Jaka's eyes. She's the only great woman, capable of going through all the odds because of her husband.

So did Harti, he looked a little older than Magisna. He put on my face when he saw Jaka, while holding the sweat that had filled all sides of his chest.

With trembling lips Harti approached with Dava, then he asked, "Where is Mas Darto?"

Jaka who was confused immediately shook his head, he could not tell what happened to Darto, because when he let Jaka go, Darto had advised to keep the things he was experiencing.

The crying broke immediately, Harti cried in Dava's arms and then walked to the room assisted by Dava.

Harti is far from healthy, he has been sickly for a long time, so he must be supported even if only the demonstration runs.

From that day on, Harti was worse, he could not even get out of bed, and could only lay down his old body, in the room every day.

One time when the night felt so quiet, Darto suddenly appeared from the corner of the room Lamar harti. He came in a translucent form, yet was so obvious to Harti's two eyes.

"Mas... You coming, Mas? I miss, Mas," said Harti while trying to touch the face of her husband who was staring softly at her.

But alas, Harti's hand could not touch the shadow, even though he had tried repeatedly.

"Dec... I'm sorry, it took me a few days to be able to use this way. My body could not get out of that place, even though I tried many times," Darto tried to touch the property cheek, but his hand also penetrated and could not reach his wife's face.

Sure enough, Darto did not not want to leave the throne for a moment, when he defeated the devil, he was also immediately bound to the world that the devil had.

One barrier that the devil thinks can be passed when he has a physical form, it turns out the same can not be broken even though Darto has a body.

Darto was confined in a cage that had been used to confine the devil, and replaced his position that must lead all the creatures in that place.

Hearing Darto's explanation, Harti just nodded slowly, he returned to tears when Darto said a sentence, "Excuse me, Dek... There is eternal life waiting for us. There I won't leave you again, even if it's just a second."

hearing the sentence, Harti began to smile with a clear circle that continued to pour from the corner of his eyes, he nodded with a face so good, before finally seeing the shadow of Darto began to disappear from his view.

Dava became the owner of the famous pesantren at that time, the son he had also become Hafizh when he was only five years old, which made his family famous for its religious knowledge.

It all happened not because of their efforts. Maybe things will not work out properly, if Darto does not sacrifice everything he has for the survival of his blood successor.

Darto proudly swallowed the bitter taste, he threw away all hope, and shouldered every nestapa on his own broad back.

For Darto, his family's life was more valuable than anything in the world, because it was the only treasure he deserved to fight for.

Proudly, Darto was willing to be considered dead by all his loved ones, even though he was the only person who lived the longest, with a pile of longings, grief, and burdens that he continued to bear throughout his life.

Sometimes, by stepping away, we will be able to assess how valuable what we already have.
