"Hey, Jinn. Where is Darsa's father?" tanya Darto was a little curious, after seeing Si Mbok and Gending who were sobbing inside the house.

"He's gone, Le. The letter they received was not news from Romo, try to read it yourself, said Qorin then brought Darto to the moment Si Mbok received letters and food from her husband.

"Read it yourself, Le," said Qorin again, pointing at a piece of paper that Si Mbok was holding.

Hearing his orders, Darto immediately approached and stood behind Si Mbok's body, and a few moments later Darto again said "were! what era is this now? cook the letter with that letter,"

Hearing Darto's words, Jin Qorin was stunned as he continued to look at Darto's confused face. "You're a Javanese, but you can't read the script! ha ha ha ha!" jin Qorin then continued to spit out a satisfied laugh from his lips.

Darto could only grumble, he could even read alphabets after entering the pesantren, while for the Javanese script he had never been taught at all. And the apesnya letter held by Si Mbok is a piece of paper full of Javanese script writing.

"Hey Jin, what exactly is the letter?" said Darto with a serious face mixed with annoyance because it continues to be laughed at.

"It was a letter containing the details of the distribution of assistance from the duke where Darsa's father died, it's been four years, I know because the help was already four times Si Mbok received," said Qorin a little put on a serious face, can not be denied he also felt a little pity.

"Then why is the Mbok smiling?" ask Darto back while frowning.

"Three times he told the neighbor to read his letter, and three times the neighbor lied about the contents of his letter. The Mbok can't read, Le. His neighbors pity him, so he explained the contents of the letter by saying that Darsa's father was still healthy and could not go home" Jin said then looking at Darto's face which gradually lowered his head.

"This is happening, Le. We better see the continuation of the events of the five young men," said Jin again after seeing Darto just bowed in silence.

In a matter of seconds, Darto and Qorin were already standing in front of the young man who was lying on his head. Although blood had already come out from his skin, the young man still continued to scratch his entire body randomly. Pus began to come out of the rash that broke on his hands, the skin all over his body was flushed perfectly, his hair began to fall out even the scalp also flakes a little.

Umar's family looked panicked at that time, he brought a variety of plants that had been mashed and stuck all over Umar's body, even had time to call a smart person to his home, he said, but it still did not produce the results they wanted.

The five young men experienced the same thing, none of them were not sprawled and continued to scratch until they bled. Until finally the five young men perished, right after all the citizens finished performing Isha prayers in his village.

Residents had panicked, they thought their village was being hit by a plague, the funeral of the five young men was carried out only by relatives. Absolutely without help and without a look, because all the residents chose to stay in their homes, instead of fearing contracting the disease that the five young men experienced.

Gending was surprised when he saw five snake children who suddenly came to his house. He looked puzzled by the blood that wrapped the five snake puppets in front of him, yet he still let the five snakes enter from his lips in turn.

Without Darsa knowing, Gending really harbors feelings for her, even those feelings have existed since gending is still the ugly one. He admired the kindness of the man who always defended him, and of course the good looks he had. However, regardless, one of the restrictions of the Gending agreement and the snake is not to be married. So Gending must bury his feelings to Darsa the man of his dreams.

"Hey, Nyai, can you hear my words?" asked Gending while laying his body on the couch.

"Yes! why?" the serpent again appeared from Gending's hair.

"Why can't I get married?" tanya gending then rushed up from sleeping on her back.

"Oh?? you want to defy our agreement?" ketus the snake while wrapped around Gending's neck.

"No, I was just curious, Nyai," Gending replied a little scared, as the grip of the snake began to tighten around his neck.

"I have made many covenants, and they have betrayed me after having a husband or wife, even though they have remained my meal" answered the serpent again, and gradually removed the twists and disappeared.

Hearing the serpent's words, Gending is forced to bury his feelings to Darsa. Gending really did not want anything to happen to the man he loved.

After witnessing it all, Qorin again held Darto's shoulders. In one blink of an eye, Darto and Qorin had arrived at different places. Now all it looks like is a wedding, with Darsa and a woman sitting side by side. The woman sitting next to Darsa was very beautiful, no less beautiful than Gending's face. But what is seen there is only the Darsa family and two parents of the bride, while Gending does not show the trunk of his nose.

Darto got a little story from Jin, he said the woman whom Darsa married was the son of one of the students who learned to teach with his father. From the woman's parents also Darsa and Si Mbok got news about Romo's death, and in return for the good of Darsa's father, who was, the old man married his daughter and would take them to a village that was even more advanced than where they lived.

"Where's Gending?" ask Darto while continuing to sweep his gaze to all guests who are attending Darsa's wedding.

Answering Darto's question, Jin Qorin only pointed in a direction with his index finger, and when Darto threw his gaze in that direction, Gending looked clenched, his eyes perfectly rounded, and his eyes were perfectly round, her face was wrathful watching Darsa stop by side with the beautiful woman on the same chair.

"This is the beginning of a tragic incident that befell your family, Le. Gending was completely overwhelmed with disappointment, after Darsa agreed to an arranged marriage made unilaterally by Romo's students. Whether it's Darsa's wife, Darsa's daughter's wife, Darsa's granddaughter's wife, even until your mother's victim of Gending's jealousy, she's completely blinded to Darsa's excess of love," jin Qorin said, holding Darto's shoulder.

Not long after, Darto was brought back to the rock, where he first underwent tests with Mbah Turahmin. When Darto ascertained the situation around, Jin Qorin again said a word that echoed in the air "the test is over, hopefully you are the one who can stop the snake woman, fight, O descendants of Darsa,"
