ADJOINING REALM
OUTSIDE OF PLAN

After the fight with two bloody pocongs was over, Darto rushed into his house again. He re-opened the cloth he was wearing to wrap the stone where grandmother lived, then called her back.

"Yis?! Come out," said Darto after successfully grabbing the stone.

After Darto said the word, the grandmother went straight out of the rock, then bowed before Darto.

"What buto ireng is around here Nyi?" darto asked briefly straight to the heart of the matter.

"No, Den, his energy was not felt at all" said Grandma with her eyes closed.

"Alright, thanks. Please if you want to go home again," said Darto then let the grandmother into the stone back.

After hearing the old woman's explanation, Darto immediately laid his body on the couch. That night Darto felt safe, he could fall asleep in just minutes, until finally the time sahur greeted again.

After the sahur menu that he brought from Anto's house was finished, Darto immediately brewed bitter tea that he also brought from Anto's house. He daydreams about the word red pocong last night, until two cigarettes he smoked.

After that, even though he had not heard of kumandang adzan, Darto had left his home. This morning Darto went to perform dawn prayers early, he wanted to meet someone first in the break.

Long enough Darto waited in front of the terrace Langgar, noticed one by one the residents who came, until someone from a distance managed to make Darto widen his eyes, while shouting.

"Kang!" darto shouted to the two men in front of him.

"Well! When are you home Dar?" said Pono after arriving in front of Darto,"

"Yes, where's Ki Turah, Dar?" connect Sukman.

Hearing the questions from the two gravediggers in front of him, Darto simply smiled and answered their questions in makeshift words. Then Darto asked the two men to stay in the break after prayers were performed.

After the prayers were finished, the three men were still sitting in the breach, they were both talking about a request that Darto had made.

"You know the gravedigger in the villages next door, no, Kang?" ask Darto with a serious look.

"What's the matter, Dar? we're also this unemployed, why should we search from the next village?" sukman replied while frowning.

"I need a lot, Kang?! At least ten to twenty people" said Darto then looked at Sukman.

"Want a transfer?" tanya Pono after weighing Darto's remarks. He came to his own conclusion from what Darto had said.

"You could say so Kang, but the place is quite far away. Anyone want to not?" tanya Darto was a little hesitant, considering the trip to the mud swamp took two days and one night to get there.

"Where are you, Dar?" ask Sukman back.

"In the middle swamp of the forest, Kang. I can dream of many corpses being buried there, they are all buried facing east. Poor thing, Kang, they can not meet the creator," replied Darto bowed.

"If you don't want to be okay, it's okay, Kang. Later I look for someone else," said Darto back because he did not get an answer from two men in front of him.

"Actually everything can be done, Dar. If there is the right payment," continued Pono trying to negotiate with Darto.

"How much do you usually pay to bury a corpse once?" search Darto.

"The Seikhlasnya, Dar. Sometimes two thousand, three thousand, sometimes there are also five thousand," replied Pono accompanied by a nod Sukman.

"Is this enough, Kang?" Darto reached into the pocket of his clothes, then thrust 45 pieces of money ten thousand thousand in front of Pono and Sukman.

The eyes of Pono and Sukman were instantly rounded, they had never seen money in that amount in their lifetime. Fortunately, Darto really has prepared all his needs when making plans with his two brothers. It's just that Darto did not think there would be additional schemes, so he had to use the money given by Kakung that he collected for years in the pesantren.

Seeing Pono and Sukman speechless, Darto again took five pieces of money out of his pocket.

"If this is enough?" continued Darto thought the four hundred thousand money that he had just offered was not enough.

Pono and Sukman immediately looked into each other's eyes, they gulped at the saliva together, watching the money lying before their eyes.

"So you can pay fifty people, Dar!" Sahut Pono while staring at the pile of money in front of them.

"We need a minimum of 10 people, meaning that if you count, there are still 8 more people. Later this money is divided for 10 people only, I will only be petrified," said Darto as he stared at the faces of Pono and Sukman alternately.

Hearing Darto's words, Pono and Sukman exchanged glances again, they nodded and said they agreed to help.

"Eh this way enough to buy 20 shrouds?" said Darto again took 2 stacks of money ten thousand from his pocket.

"That's mostly, Dar. If you buy in the city we can buy fifty pieces," replied Sukman still with a face of wonder with the money that Darto continues to remove from his pants pocket.

"All right, let me buy you a shroud in the morning, you find someone. If we can leave tomorrow morning. And you must bring supplies that are approximately enough for a five-day trip," continued Darto back then say goodbye and go to his home.

The money to buy a shroud has been back Darto cantongi, this time Darto went to the city using a car Kakung lying from the day he reached the village. And shortly after, Darto had arrived at the shop that Pono and Sukman described.

Sure enough, Darto could buy twenty sheets of shroud with only fifty thousand rupiah. With the help of the shop owner, Darto took him into the car he was wearing, then stepped on the gas pedal ?back, to the village.

After the preparation was completed, Darto even still petrified Pono and Sukman looking for a grave digger who wanted to be invited to walk far. And fortunately, that day they got eight more people as planned. Even arguably lucky to get an additional digger, because Anto is willing to join with the same goal as Darto, which is just to provide assistance only.

Not feeling the sky was dark, Darto really felt tired when preparing everything needed. The unexpected event this time really made Darto a little relieved, he continued to smile while staring at the precarious row from the top of his bins. Tonight Darto really can't wait to leave, he wants to immediately exterminate the ruler of the swamp, and break the chain of tumbang that has been tied tightly, decades long.
