ADJOINING REALM
DARSA

That night just passed. After hearing the story that Darto described, all of them left Darto back. They went to their rooms because the time was almost late at night.

Just like the others, Darto Kino was laying his body on a couch. He was so exhausted, that it only took him a few minutes, his eyes immediately closed as his hands continued to scroll through Darsa's beads.

"Hey, are you my descendant?" voice from behind the darkness.

Hearing that voice, Darto twisted his body and turned his face in all directions. Without Darto realizing he had entered the black room he always went to when he got a clue.

"I'm here" he said briefly while patting Darto's body.

When Darto turned his head he frowned slightly on his face, he was really surprised why he was reunited with him.

"Jin Qorin?" asked Darto while raising one eyebrow of his.

"Have you met Qorin? and you can get this tasbih?" asked the figure while showing a smiling lip on his face.

"Whose name are you, son?" ask the figure back before Darto had time to answer the previous question.

"My name is Darto, are you really Mbah Darsa? my ancestor?" darto asked back while looking at the old man's face in front of him. The old man had the exact same face as the Qorin face he had met during the test.

"No, Dar. I am just an embodiment of the energy stored in his relics. In the past, Darsa continued to store his energy into every bead of prayer beads that you were holding, Dar. And when he was about to die, he hoped that the creator would give clues to his successors, so that they could use the energy he stored during his life. From that desire I was created, Dar," said the figure, then grabbed the shoulders of Darto who was listening to his explanation.

Darto immediately nodded as a sign that he understood the meaning of the figure, then he looked at the figure who was holding his shoulder.

"Receive it, this is indeed prepared for you, everything is destined to be yours," said the figure as he touched Darto's forehead with his forefinger.

Slowly white light came out from the index of the figure, then a sense of heat spread from the head to the feet of Darto at that time. Every now and then Darto screamed in pain, even the burning feeling inside his body actually almost managed to knock down his body. Fortunately, he got through the process.

"Finally, my task is done, I pray for success for you, O Darto the grandson of Darsa," said the figure then gradually disappeared. his body increasingly thinning, becoming transparent and lost fused with darkness.

Darto was only silent, he continued to see the light that enveloped his entire body in the dark room. Without him realizing beside his body that was asleep, already stood Kakung and also Si Mbah turahmin who ran towards his room. The two of them were shocked and panicked after feeling the great energy that enveloped Kakung's house, but they finally felt relieved when they saw the source of energy coming from their granddaughter's body that was burning brightly, when her body sleeps on the couch.

"The dar... Wake up, it's time for sahur," said Kakung while slightly shaking Darto's body.

Hearing Kakung's call, Darto went straight out of the dark room, and then opened his eyes. Darto was shocked after seeing Kakung and Si Mbah who had been sitting on his couch, even while gnashing their eyes he continued to mutter about the two men in front of him.

"What's up Mbah? Kung?" said Darto astonished, seeing the faces of his two grandfather put up a worried mimic.

"Look at your body, Dar. Can you hide no? students from the next realm are already rowdy behind the boarding school because the energy from your body is overflowing," Kakung said as he continued to pay attention to the energy emanating from his grandson's body.

"Yes Dar, pity them for fear of all, until someone woke up Si Mbah had made sure it was a source of energy," Kakung slightly smiled, he felt proud of his grandson. How not? even he could not make students who studied at the pesantren flinch with his energy. But Darto can make all the adjoining natural creatures who live inside, as well as those who live around the pesantren in fog when Darto fell asleep. What a huge energy beyond the shadow Mbah turahmin and Kakung have succeeded Darto mastered.

Not long after, the light from Darto's body gradually dimmed, and the two parents beside him felt relieved, because Darto was quite able to control it.

"Alhamdulillah, let us sahur together. Responsibility, already awake if not fasting, plus it's Thursday," said Kakung as he stepped out of Darto's room.

In response to Kakung's invitation, Darto and Mbah Turahmin rushed to follow his steps. Arriving at the dining room, they decided to buy a side dish in front of the pesantren because the side dishes available were only enough for one person.

"You guys just eat fried rice yuk Mat, how many months I eat plain rice with the fish continues, until my body fish," asked Mbah Turahmin while staring at the kakung.

"Look, usually Pak Ndut open until dawn, Min," replied Kakung briefly then nodded to Darto as a gesture of invitation.

The three men also walked towards the boarding school, a sense of relief nesting when the shop owned by Pak Ndut was still visible from a distance, and sure enough the stall was still open, and the menu was still complete.

"Okay sir! three!" shouted Darto from a distance, he ordered the usual menu that he always ate at the stall.

Hearing the screams of Darto, Pak Ndut immediately woke up from a dreamy sitting position, then turned on the stove and cooked three orders Darto. When Pak Ndut was cooking, Darto and his two grandfathers continued to talk, they were still amazed by the energy emanated from Darto's body before.

"What do you think, Min?" said Kakung briefly while glancing at Si Mbah beside him.

"What, Mat?" answer Sumpah while frowning.

"You think Darto is ready yet to meet Gending?" kakung said as he looked towards Darto.

"That's up to him Mat. If the business is ready or not we can not conclude," replied Si Mbah now look in the direction of Darto.

Hearing and seeing the two Mbahnya, Darto just lowered his head, he slightly thought for the plan ahead, and then raised his gaze high while sighing long.

"You however, want to be ready or not ready, Darto must be ready, Mbah, because it may be the destiny that Darto must live," said Darto while returning the second gaze of Si Mbah in front of him alternately.

"Then, Kakung has Dar's plan, but we have to go back to the village of bells" Kakung said as he looked at Darto with a serious look, then got a nod from Darto.

Seeing Darto nod, he immediately explained his plan, Si Mbah Turahmin also agreed, and they will travel to the village of bells the next week counted from today.
