Ballad of Love The Dancer
Chapter 86

Sari escorted Kang Yana to the Dewandaru park located in the main area of Keraton Kasepuhan. They passed the statue of a pair of white tigers as a symbol of the coat of arms of the Padjadjaran family, reminding Sari when she first met Bayu.

Kang Yana continued to bring Sari into the palace master building area. He asks Sari to wait in the Lintu area, and leaves Sari alone. 

Bagas and Doni are not allowed to enter by Kang Yana on the grounds of Bayu's request. They both decided to find Mang Usep's art gallery.

So long waiting for Sari to be bored, he decided to walk around the park Dewandaru. Together with other visitors Sari entered the train museum located east of Dewandaru park.

A pair of green wooden entrances that are quite high and wall ornaments above the curved plane welcome the arrival of Sari. This is where the Lion Barong train, the work of Panembahan Losari grandson of Sunan Gunung Jati made in 1549 is stored. This car is only issued to be bathed on 1 Shawwal.

Although it is named Barong Lion but there is absolutely no lion element that appears from the ornament. Barong lion chariot with elephant as a symbol of the friendship of the Sultanate of Cirebon with India, dragon-headed as a symbol of friendship with China, and winged and body Buroq as a symbol of friendship with Egypt. The carving on the back of the Lion Barong train is shaped to resemble a wisp of green clouds with golden ornaments inside.

Inside the museum there is also a beautiful Prabu Siliwangi painting painted from the hands of a painter who supposedly met directly with Prabu Siliwangi mystically. Sari stood right in front of the Prabu Siliwangi painting, a strange feeling infiltrated her. The painting felt alive, the tail of his eyes seemed to follow where Sari moved and faced towards him every time Sari moved.

So this is my ancestor ... Why do I feel seen all the time, is this painting alive? sari asked in her own heart.

"Beautiful painting, he's Prabu Siliwangi your ancestor" said someone behind Sari.

Sari was surprised, she recognized the voice, "Wood."

"How are you, Sari, we meet again?" greet Bayu with his special smile.

"Okay, thanks for the news" replied Sari flat.

"Why is that spirit not his answer? Anything on?" ask the handsome man who is still faithful in Cirebon batik clothes.

"Well, you know why I'm looking for you?" 

"It looks so." Bayu replied leaving a question for Sari.

"That old book, you're the one who brought it to me right? Why?"

Bayu smiled and invited Sari to walk out of the museum area.

"I'm the one who brought the book to you. Wh why? Because only you can do it." 

"Because only you can unlock all these mysteries Sar."

"There must be a reason, right, but it just might happen?" ask Sari again.

"The reason is simple, she's your aunt still has a blood relationship with you."

Again Bayu gave an unsatisfactory answer Sari. He felt Bayu's answer was like a puzzle piece that he had to assemble himself.

"That simple? How did the book get into your hands?"

"Yes that simple indeed, we just think so. That book problem .. Daniel has been here, he left the diary and told me to give it to you." 

"To me, weird?!"

"He is in pain Sar, he needs your help and .. "Bayu did not finish his words. He suddenly fell silent, his eyes sweeping around as if something was about to come his way.

Sari noticed Bayu's change of attitude and followed the direction of his gaze. Sari began to feel the change of atmosphere, the hot weather of Cirebon as if increasing around them. 

A vacuum seemed to be created protecting Sari. Bayu stood in front of Sari protecting her from something invisible. Bayu's hand was like pushing something away from them. 

A large fireball suddenly came from the west, Bayu hit him before he could hit them and deflect the fireball towards a large tree not far from them. It gave off a thunderous sound, and left behind embers that burned some of the big tree.

Sari was startled and held tightly onto Bayu's arm, "What is that?" her tan is trembling

Bayu fell silent, his eyes still scanning around and protecting Sari. He took a deep breath for a moment, closed his eyes and clenched his hands in front of his chest. 

Sari was still waiting in her fear. His body was still trembling at the burning embers that were slowly shrinking and disappearing leaving the charred smell of burning wood. His hand was still holding tightly to Bayu's arm, when Bayu opened his eyes.

"Someone knows you're here, be careful!"

Oh my goodness .. What else is this?!
