ADJOINING REALM
HELPFULLY

That night the strong wind did not go away. The battle of Sastro and Wajana was really intense, the red and green light kept flashing about for a flash. Really Darto was amazed by the prowess of Sastro and Wajana that night.

Darto smiled when he saw Sastro and Wajana fighting with a smile floating on their faces. They seemed to be doing what they wanted all along, even though their lives were at stake.

"Bag! Bugs! The wusss! Bam! Booms!"

The sound of booms continues to latch. Every time their energies collided, instantly a strong wind accompanied by a trembling ground was always present. But even so, Darto still did not budge from the position of sitting cross-legged that he did. Darto completely handed over the affairs before his eyes to Sastro and Wajana.

"Yahoooooooo!" screeched one of the pocongs from a distance.

Sastro's attack successfully landed on the head of the pocong he was fighting. Instantly, the pocong he fought became like a piece of paper. The flames burned his body, leaving nothing to spare.

When Sastro managed to cut off the head of the pocong he was fighting, he immediately fell down and sat on the ground. He watched the battle of the Vajana, with a breath that was already hunting from exhaustion. After his breathing began to gradually improve, Sastro went to help Wajana, he stood up and jumped towards the pocong that was in the middle of the opposing Vajana.

Facing two troublesome opponents, the pocong was completely immediately cornered. On one side Sastro continued to block his movement, while on the other side Wajana continued to throw punches after blows from his hands.

"Bombs!!" wajana attacks managed to land on the body of the red pocong, the pocong was immediately bounced far and landed right in front of Darto.

Unlike the first one, the Pocong was not directly burned. He continued to squirm on the ground, enduring the pain he was suffering.

"Enough!" darto shouted when he saw Wajana about to stab a pocong with a black keris in his hand.

Hearing Darto's cry, Wajana immediately disengaged his intention, he retracted his hand and then just stood silently watching what Darto was about to do.

"Weh! Where is your leader?!" ketus Darto while glancing sharply at the pocong that was wriggling under his feet.

"Please... Hu hu hu hu" the pocong's cry broke out, she actually felt pain and fear at the same time.

"Woy! You're deaf!" sergeant Sastro who has now joined the pocong.

Hearing the cries of Sastro and Darto, the pocong again shuddered, he felt afraid until his body continued to tremble.

It took quite a long time for Darto and his two friends to wait for the pocong to open its voice. But still it seemed like the pocong did not want to talk. Until finally Darto who felt unbearable to see the pocong continued to wriggle on the ground, approached and touched the wet shroud that wrapped the body of the figure. Darto intended to ease the pain he suffered, by sending him to the afterlife.

"Wait!" shouted the pocong while forcing it to rise from the ground. He tried to stop what Darto was going to do.

Seeing the pocong that was about to rise, Sastro and Wajana immediately re-installed the ready position. They were wary if at any time the pocong attacked Darto who was closest to him.

Seeing Sastro and Wajana put up a sprightly position, Darto only raised one hand of his as a signal that they did not continue their wishes. And without opening his voice, Sastro and Wajana immediately obeyed the order that Darto gave.

Hearing these words, Darto just nodded without saying a word. And after Darto nodded the pocong brought his upside-down face closer to Darto's hand. And what followed was that Darto's soul was forcibly pulled into the dark world that Darto had been visiting so often during his life.

"Sorry, Son. I've been sassy to bring you here" said the middle-aged woman who stood suddenly in front of Darto.

"What can I help you with?" said Darto briefly while staring at the face of the woman in front of him.

"Please mumble my child properly," said the woman bowed, feeling guilty about what she had done while she was alive.

"Sorry, the mud swamp is not close" Darto said as he looked at the woman in front of him.

Hearing the answer from Darto, the woman immediately lowered her head. He also knew how far the mud swamp from the village kemoceng, so he could not argue Darto's remarks.

"Before, why did you become a red pocong? if you haven't moved your son's grave yet?" ask Darto back.

"My friend and I reneged on a promise.we both went to the smart man's house to break the agreement, but after coming home and falling asleep, our souls were immediately taken to the edge of the swamp by Buto Ireng, who was the only one who had not been able to do so, our bodies are dead with incomplete necks on our bodies" she said, staring straight at Darto.

"Please, son. My son could not meet the creator, while all because of my actions, pity if his soul continues to be a prisoner and made a slave of the desire buto ireng until the end of the day," the woman then cried in front of Darto.

"Well, I could've gone there looking for buto. If I happen to go there, then I will bury my son again" said Darto after feeling sorry for the woman in front of him.

Hearing Darto's words, the woman immediately prostrated, with lips continue to say thank you for a long time. After Darto told him to stand up, he immediately held Darto's hand and moved to the edge of the swamp. He pointed to one by one the location of buried offerings like the one Darto pinta, then stopped at the last location where his son was buried alive as Dining had experienced long ago.

"Here, son. Once again I say thank you," said the woman as she pointed at a land, then prostrated before Darto again until Darto really feel the sincerity of his heart when asking for help.

"Yes Mom, Wake up. Now let's go home," said Darto then closed his eyes, and managed to re-occupy his body.

"Now, I can go quietly" said the pocong in front of Darto, then smilingly placed a row of black teeth on his face.

Hearing that, Darto immediately held a shroud that wrapped his head, then read prayers and dhikr, then wrapped the body pocong with energy that came out of his hands. Slowly the figure in front of him gradually thinned, his body became transparent, and then evaporated like smoke.

"Thank you, you have tried," said Darto as he looked at Sastro and Wajana alternately.

Hearing Darto's words, Sastro and Wajana looked at each other, then returned Darto's gaze with a smile. The two of them simply replied to Darto's words by nodding, then just disappeared, with a feeling of relief lodged within their chests.
