"Dar!" Si Mbah Turahmin called while knocking on the door of Darto's room.
"Mbah Jiih!" darto answered and then ran a little towards the door of his room.
"Tomorrow morning join Si Mbah, yes, we are looking for equipment" Mbah Turahmin said after Darto opened his room door.
"Jih Mbah, but what are the equipment for Mbah?" darto replied a little confused.
"Make you wear when training, Tomorrow yes do not forget, as much as possible when the night we have departed," back Si Mbah reminded.
"Okay Mbah" replied Darto, nodding.
"Don't forget, say goodbye to your friends, because maybe we don't leave the pesantren for a while," said Si Mbah while turning around, then stepped into his room which was right next to Darto's room.
Hearing the orders of Si Mbah Turahmin, Darto could only support him. After Simbah Turahmin disappeared from the sight of his eyes, Darto again closed the door to his room. He returned to lay down a body that was quite tired after the trip, until finally he fell asleep so soundly.
Second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour passed by. Darto had woken up from his sleep, he was completely used to waking up at exactly three in the night. After fulfilling the tahajud, he rushed to open the hood of the service that was always filled when the morning greeted. Without waiting for long, he roasted the rice and side dishes the rest of the night to fill his stomach before finally continuing to fast.
Not long ago, the dawn Adhan sounded so loud from inside his house. Darto smiled slightly when he heard the voice of Mbah Turahmin who proclaimed the Adhan in the mosque in front of his house. Usually he heard Kakung chanting the dawn Adhan, but this time made him feel a little like he was in his hometown.
Long story short, two rakaat morning prayers have been completed in tunaikan. After Mbah Min finished breakfast, he borrowed a sakung car and rushed to the market, where Darto had once visited, to shop with his friend.
It did not take long, Darto and Mbah Turahmin had brought one sack full of their groceries. Then they rushed back to the pesantren.
"There are still many Mbah," said Darto as he continued to look at a clock that had been wrapped around his wrist.
"You need that, Dar. Do not get lost," Mbah Turahmin said without looking, his eyes focused on the road that his car was about to pass.
"Njih Mbah," answered briefly Darto who was mouthing a smile on his lips.
The wheels of the car keep turning. After arriving at the pesantren, Darto immediately say goodbye to Kakung and all his friends, not forgetting to ask prayers from them for his success. After Kakung's approval, Darto and Mbah Turahmin hurried away.
The hand of Kakung and three friends of Darto accompanied the footsteps of Darto and Mbah Turahmin who gradually moved away from the pesantren. They went hand in hand with a full sack of gunny on their shoulders.
One hour, Three hours, Five hours, until the sky began to darken, Darto and Mbah turahmin continued to step their feet. They just rested to pray in the middle of the forest, before finally continuing the journey back. Now, in the middle of the forest that almost perfectly darkened, they returned to rest, because Darto had to perform iftar after the time showed at 18:00 on the watch that Darto wore.
"Where are we really going, Mbah?" ask Darto while lighting a cigarette in between his fingers.
"We will soon reach Dar" replied Si Mbah briefly while throwing a short cigarette butt in his hand.
"We continue again?" Darto asked again while frowning.
After that, they walked back into the darkness of the forest. Every now and then they had to slash through the crowd of shrubs to make a path. Armed only with the torch light from the bamboo, they continued to dart towards the center of the wilderness.
"Well! this is Dar's place!" shouts Si Mbah after reaching under a very large kapuk randu tree, and also looks old.
"Wait here for a while, Dar," said Si Mbah then approached the tree.
After arriving just below the tree, Si Mbah immediately squatted down, then grabbed something inside the naturally formed cavity at the bottom of the tree. The hole is quite large, the size even fits if Darto wants to get into it.
"This is Dar, this is a relic of our family," said Si Mbah while thrusting a wooden box that he managed to reach from the cavity of the kapok tree in front of him.
"Just open Dar, then wear it," forced Si Mbah after seeing Darto continue to observe the beauty of the carvings that are engraved in every corner of the wooden box.
Hearing Si Mbah's orders, Darto rushed to open the box in his hand. Looks a piece of white cloth folded neatly in it, the aroma is very fragrant, fragrant as fragrant as jasmine flowers mixed with cantilevered flowers so stinging.
After the cloth Darto. A keris complete with a glove and black headband neatly stored under the folds of the cloth. Rushing Darto wrapped around the white cloth with a gold batik motif on his waist, then wearing a black headband on his head, and tucked a keris on his waist. He only wore that, and left himself bare-chested.
"Indeed fit once you wear our ancestral clothes Dar," said Si Mbah slightly smiling.
"Then? now what do we do Mbah?" asked Darto astonished, there was no way they walked far just to pick up objects that Darto had worn.
"Let's walk again, below there is a shower," replied the solah as he pointed his index finger.
It only took a few minutes, Darto and Sewah had arrived in front of the shower. Darto was a little surprised because Si Mbah really memorized with a place far from the settlement.
"Si Mbah has been here?" tanya Darto.
"It's not just the Mbah, your father has also been here, Dar. Unfortunately no one recognized the same heritage of our family. Although it has been taken home, the heirloom always returns itself to the hole of the cotton tree earlier," replied Si Mbah slightly looked up, laughing at the events he had experienced.
Hearing the words of Si Mbah, Darto could only be stunned, however he was forced to believe, even though he had never experienced it himself.
"Now you take ablution there, Dar, then we go there a little more," said Si Mbah then passed Darto, He berwudhu first continued waiting for his grandson who was following his steps.
"Come, Dar, tonight we have no sleeping rations," said Si Mbah then walked away from the shower, following the path that has been so mossy, until finally it arrived in front of two large stone blocks that stood firmly like an archway.
In front of the two large stones, Si Mbah stopped to look at his grandson's eyes, after seeing the confidence in Darto's eyes, Si Mbah nodded then grabbed Darto's hand, They stepped parallel through the gap between the two stones, and they were still there, while saying the same word. Namely,
"Assalamu'alaikum!"
