Ballad of Love The Dancer
Chapter 16

Mang Aa and Mas Hendra were already waiting for Sari at the site of the seven showers. Sari who was still a little confused immediately approached Mang Aa who was looking at her gently.

" Where are you Sar ?" Ask Mang Aa

" Hmm, that's a roving mang looking for coverage material." Sari tried to lie

Mang Aa did not budge and was still staring at Sari. It was like he was looking for the truth Sari answered. Finally he shook his head and turned his gaze in the other direction.

" There you go in, wash your face and water well do not forget to pray first purify your intention to believe only in the Gusti Allah." Mang Aa said

Sari according to, he followed to four colleagues who had already been inside. Mr. Adit and his two assistants were there waiting for their turn.

The water flowing from the well is completely clear when it comes from springs of various colors. It was refreshing as well as the water from the mountain spring, cold.

Sari washed her face, not forgetting to pray in her heart. Kang Yana who was not far from Sari advised Sari to wudhu to use the water.

Coincidentally along with that the sound of adzan dzuhur reverberated in the mosque in the Keraton area. The mosque is the work of the trustees named Masjid Agung Sang Cipta Rasa.

They also took the time to pray together in the historic ancient mosque. After performing the prayer service, Sari and the others took a short break while waiting for Mang Aa who was still at home in the mosque.

About fifteen minutes later Mang Aa came out and approached Sari.

" Sar, Mamang want to talk to you for a second?" Ask

" So seriously, what's wrong?"

" Mamang knows you always mind being told to come here, sorry Mamang ya.I mean good Mamang, to njagain you." Mang Aa tried to explain to Sari

Sari was still listening to Mang Aa's words,

" Mommy you called last night, she asked Mamang to take care of you."

" Why did you call Sari too?" Sari

" Do you know why Mamang always asks you to come here?"

Mang Aa looked at Sari sharply and once again could only shake her head.

" As long as you don't trust Sar, Mamang is tired of telling you." 

" You need to be explained, Mang, I won't believe it either." Sahut Sari lightly

" Hush, don't talk carelessly here.this is your ancestral area mis-talking fussy affairs Nok." Said Mang Aa

Sari was speechless, Mang Aa's speech was correct as well. His words just now were a little outrageous.

" Would you believe it or not that's your right, Sari, but can you explain the mark on your own body?" Ask Mang Aa

Sari was startled, she then checked every inch of her body immediately, scared.

" Are you able to clear a straight line of white color on your same toe...also 3 moles that form a triangle on your back?" Ask Mang Aa

Sari was surprised how Mang Aa could know everything.Mang Aa looked back at Sari,

" Sar, every genealogy of Siliwangi descent has been recorded in a special book that is well documented from the past by the paguyuban administrators."

" Especially when you were born. Your mommy was immediately told about you being special." Mang Aa tried to explain to Sari 

" You should be able to appreciate our traditions and culture Nok, because that's the duty of all of us...especially you, do you understand now?" Ask Mang Aa again

" If you can be honest Sari will say yes and no mang...but Sari tried to respect Mamang so well Sari recited all Mang Aa suggestions, as long as not told to hang herself, mang?" Sari replied with a smile from Mang Aa.

 " And one more Sar, the man you met earlier was one of the guards of the Palace, rarely would he talk to ordinary people even Mamang could communicate with him." Mang Aa said to Sari

Sari could only round her eyes and cover her mouth with both hands. He immediately took his phone and sure enough the man in the photo had disappeared. Sari only found an empty picture without Bayu's figure.

Sari also smiled wryly towards Mang Aa and felt her knees go limp.
