ADJOINING REALM
A STORY

Babat Pete's Fried Rice had their toilet swallowed, the feeling of fullness lodged neatly in the stomach of the five of them. especially Darto, who had eaten twice.

while smoking, back kakung tells a story that he understood in the past.

"So here's the..." Kakung said starting his long story.

"Juragan Agam was a student of pesantren here first, he was the smartest student at that time, I taught him specifically, because he was the leader of the pesantren at that time" the story stopped because Kakung was smoking a cigarette between his fingers.

"Initially there was nothing strange about him, everything was normal. She was kind, jolly, also submissive.You know Sum's first nurse's wife?" Kakung asked Bu Sumi who was listening to the story.

"I don't know Mr. Kyai, but I've seen him several times, in addition to him rarely going out, we also rarely visit the house of the manager in addition to the need for harvest or debt" Bu Sumi replied with a bright look at the past, remembering the figure of the first wife of Juragan Agam.

"His name is Retno, Sum, he is also a student of pesantren here, but he is not a Javanese" replied Kakung

"Oh fast.?! every time we say hello to him, he replied using Indonesian Pak Kyai" replied Subhi who was also putting her ears to Kakung's story.

"How much is Kung's wife?" this time, Darto asked.

"Yes now he doesn't have Dar, so he wants to narik Harti," back kakung smoke a cigarette between the fingers, after throwing ash at the end.

"What does this have to do with me Mbah?" ask Harti

"The food was horrified first Har, Sewah also just told a little story" he said again.

"Well when they first met, Agam who became the best santri at that time began to change, he began to skip salary, lazy to memorize even often act, well I am still understand, I still understand, because the name of the person again kasmaran indeed innannya want to meet continuously, right Dar?" sindir kakung glanced at Darto and harti who immediately bowed embarrassed.

"Hahaha this is your basic, but Dar, different from You and Harti, the Agam can not meet Retno parents, because the house is far away.and Agam is not a money person like now, because the house is far away, in addition, Retno also seems not interested in the Agam, but even so, Agam is not a person who easily loses, Sewan knows very well how solid his stance, if you want something, if you want something, he was willing to take a bath of dirt from what he wanted he could have" he said, stopping when the cigarette in between his fingers was very short, and again grabbed a new cigarette, then lit it.

"Well, when Retno's parents came here, visited the princess only wayangnya.you know what Agam did?" Kakung looked at their silenced faces hearing the story one by one, and only got a head bobble in response.

"He proposed to Retno right in front of me at that time, when Retno and her parents were sitting in this room, just as rich as you are now. And you know what Retno and her parents said?" back sis got the head bobble.

"Good and smart game turned into a cynical Agam after the incident, he left the boarding school, until 2 months he did not come home, and when he came home, he went home, I saw the creature that disturbed us earlier had continued to follow on Agam's back, the behavior of the priest became arrogant in the eyes of other students, and strangely, Retno who was not interested in the beginning, began to approach Agam. until finally they dated, and left the boarding school, shortly after that I got the news that Agam was married to Retno across the street. After a year Agam lived in Retno's house, Agam buy the house that he now wears in your village Sum, he went back there with Retno who was pregnant old.he bought a lot of land, and from the trip he had taken, he went, he knows some traders who supply vegetables, and he has pursued the business until now, starting from renting land, so he can become a master like now" Kakung sighed long before returning to tell the story.

"Retno died after giving birth to her first child, not only Retno, but the shaman who helped her birth also died last night after helping the birth of Agam's child, who was also a child, because the shaman saw the original form of the child coming out of Retno's womb" said the sibling shook his head.

"What's the kid we saw this afternoon?"

Tanya Darto was surprised.

"Yes Dar, the child born Retno is not the child of Agam but the Son of Genderuwo who makes Agam as rich as it is now, you must be surprised right Dar? pas see his son Juragan has a tail and full of feathers.he has deviated from what he learned since childhood in pesantren, he was willing to ally with the creature just because want to have Retno, Retno, really Kakung is very sorry that he could not prevent him before all happened" Kakung looked down lethargic.

"The furry son of a bitch?" Harti scrunched his forehead, because he could also see a ghostly figure but why could not he see the original form of a young boy.

"Yes Har, you have been marked, so you cannot see the original form of the child of Agam. The money that your parents borrowed is the same as can be made an intermediary agreement. but Simbah is still grateful that you are not married to Agam, if you are married, you will also die after giving birth to the genderuwo child, as rich as the first wife and second wife Agam" replied Kakung with relief.

Hearing the long story that Kakung told, Sumi and Subhi sir really trembled. Fear was clearly on their faces.

"Thank you Mr. Kyai, thanks to Mr. Kyai we did not marry our son, how barbaric we would have been if Harti had fallen into the hands of the Juragan, while we never tried to raise him, but after he grew up, we were going to kill him, just for the money he never tasted" said Sumi, who began sobbing.

"Ndock.. I'm sorry" said Mr. Subhi who also has glass.

"Already Sir, Buk, Harti never angry with you, Harti also grateful because now he can gather again, and certainly Harti very grateful, very grateful, because the Waste that raises wealth is a great Waste.maybe this is the destiny above, Gusti Allah wants to bring Harti and waste through your actions" replied Harti as he pleased. She cried out loud, her tears kept dripping from her chin. Darto and Kakung can only look on with pity. Witness the momentum when a family that had decomposed, united and intact again.

'If I could hug my parents like I do now'

Little murmured Darto, watching Harti curled up in the arms of his parents.
