Sari sits between Mang Aa and Mas Hendra. They looked serious to get Sari to talk.

"You found Mr Adit?"ask Mas Hendra seriously

"No, it was invited to go back to Bagas." elak Sari.

"Sari, listen yes Mamang saranin do not get carried away with emotions facing situations like this. You better face a situation like this." Mang Aa tried to dampen Sari's emotions even though he knew Sari could handle it.

"Yes Mang Sari also knows. Sari wanted to meet Mr. Adit but Bagas also Doni gave input to Sari."

"Good if that is, in the future there will be many obstacles for you Mamang can only hope you face it calmly." Mang Aa message to Sari

"Yes mang insyaallah."

"Mamang also mas Hendra can not always take care of you, so be careful not to fish in murky water remain vigilant!" he said remind Sari again.

"Is it possible they'll try again?"ask Sari was-was

"There may be a Sar, so you are also vigilant. Your prayers should not be abandoned, the practice of dhikr as Mamang ajarin continues to be practiced. Don't forget to ask God for protection because only He can help you!" 

"One more time if you can and strong fast on a certain day away from the food of the living!" mas Hendra's Suggestions

"Vegetarians?"ask Sari confused

"Yes, but if you are not strong yes lasain in a certain day just later mamang kasih day what is in accordance with the calculation of your birth day." replied Mang Aa

Why feel the training so my shaman, must be this yes .., inner Sari 

"Tomorrow Mamang also Mas Hendra want to go back to Cirebon you when will it be?" 

"It looks like the day after Mang, there's something to be done here first."

"Be careful Sar, take Mamang's message."

Sari nodded in understanding. Mang Aa handed something to Sari in a white cloth package.

"Wear this! Did you make this special for you?!" 

Sari received the white parcel that smelled fragrant, then opened it. Red eyed gold pomegranate ring with sweet carvings around it.

"Ring?"

"Yes, use it to take care of you. Mommy's filled that ring!"

"What's mang, what cheese is chocolate?"said Sari with his indifference while twisting and cradling the beautiful-eyed ring. 

Honestly in her heart Sari refused to wear the ring with such power but in honor of Mang Aa finally the ring was pinned on her ring finger.

"You're saying parents don't make up sins! How can I not be the head anymore, let the brain really not slide?!" mas Hendra asked annoyed at Mang Aa.

Sari scoffed and stuck her tongue out at Hendra, making Mang Aa laugh.

"Hadeeh, Adeline your son is making high blood ma gulaku up this. Good thing your mamang is patient Sar!"

...----------------...

Later that night, Sari is escorted by Bagas and Doni meets Seno, Ratih's lover. Through a short message Seno asked to meet Sari at the home of Ratih bada isya.

They arrived at Ratih's house which was located just behind Mr. Koswara's house. It is not too difficult to look for it because Seno provides a clear direction and benchmark.

"Assalamualaikum .." said Sari

"Wa'alaikumussalam .." replied someone from inside the house.

Seno had apparently been waiting for Sari inside. So did Ratih and his mother. Ratih invited Sari and the others to enter, but Sari refused on grounds of rage. The weather was a little hot that night. But there was another reason Sari refused to speak inside Ratih's house. Privacy.

"Sorry, Seno can we talk 4 points outside?!" 

"Yes, uh, mbak."

Seno followed Sari and sat on the slightly roomy front porch. The tense face looks clearly shown by Seno, maybe he was afraid if Sari talked about the incident this afternoon.

"Mas Seno is scared?"

Doubtfully Seno nodded her head, her eyes looking to the right and left as if scanning the situation. Sari smiled seeing him.

"I'm not going to bring that up. I'm here for something and it's important to me."

"What's wrong with you?"

"Mas Seno know where I can find a mask dancer in Cirebon?" Sari asked with full investigation. He did not want to ask Seno a direct question.

"Dance mask means mbak Sari?"

"Perhaps, is the female dancer all wearing a red mask and her costume is batik-clad with the Mega Mendung pattern?" 

"Red mask? The mask of Kelana means Sari? It's in my art gallery. In addition to the gallery we also open a dance studio for the public and certain circles." replied Seno 

"I mean cultural art researchers?"

"Yes, including that mba. We sometimes welcome the arrival of people from abroad who want to study and do cultural arts research."

I can, maybe this is a new lead …,
