Before 365 Days
Chapter 22: Who is Ndoro Kusuma?

Mr. Kyai was chatting with Mr. Ridwan, he was a friend when looking for knowledge in the boarding house first. Mr. Kyai told me about him merogo sukmo to look for the existence of the Rose, but failed. Mr. Ridwan smiled hearing the story of Mr. Kyai.

"Well, what you're fighting is his loyal aide. She can transform into genderuwo, Wewe Gombel, and the Horned Bull."

"Then, where was the place I met, Kang?"

"Away, Kyai! that guy just came in on his page. The girl you were looking for was in the middle of the forest. He's stuck in there,"

"You know what forest it is, Kang?"

"Alas tuo, Kyai! Forests that have been around for centuries are not plastered by humans. Last time, the forest was used as a tomb for a king's wife, who died from frequent torture in the palace. His name is Ndoro Kusuma."

Mr. Kyai was stunned to hear the words from his best friend. If about the history of the past, Ridwan his best friend can know only see the traces of the road that was passed by the person concerned. Unfortunately, Ridwan could not merogo sukmo like Pak Kyai. Ridwan can only see the footage of the incident through his inner eye.

"Ndoro Kusuma?"

"Yes, that's a call from the ladies. In addition to Ndoro Kusuma, the tomb there is the tomb of loyal guards Ndoro Kusuma. You have to be careful, the opponent you are facing right now, not recklessly. Ndoro Kusuma has half the power of Raden Abimana,"

"Raden Abimana?"

"Yes, he was the greatest king of his time. The destruction is of the Golden Dragon. Ndoro Kusuma managed to steal half of the pieces of the heirloom. Ndoro Kusuma can transform into a form that he likes, in fact, he has great strength thanks to the Golden Dragon. My advice, Mr. Kyai, is better, Mr. Kyai just chat with the missing girl. Don't merogo sukmo anymore."

Pak Kyai nodded his head hearing the explanation from Ridwan. If Ridwan has given advice, it means the problem is not playing games.

Even before Mr. Kyai started that conversation, Ridwan could already guess the problem.

"Hopefully I can help that girl, yes, Kang!"

"Amiin, I pray Kyai, most importantly, do not pass 365 days, and do'a from here is not interrupted."

"Where, then, is the path I have encountered?"

ask Mr. Kyai. Mr. Ridwan then put the glass.

"Easy, just go south, turn once and then just keep going. Actually it's a dead end Kyai, can not pass the vehicle, because in front of him already swamp. But if you can cross the airport, Kyai will find a straight road on the right and left side many tall trees towering. The direction of the road that leads to the forest, to the tomb of Ndoro Kusuma."

Mr. Kyai looks solemn listening to the explanation of his best friend.

"I saw the Rose vehicle there, Kang. Can we go there and get it in person?"

Mr. Ridwan smiled wryly at Mr. Kyai's question.

"It could be, but it's hard, how do you cross the blue? The bush bush has covered it, does not rule out the possibility of many animals floating there, with different sizes of course. Not to mention, with the residents there, Mr. Kyai! we need to make a mature plan. Don't be too rash to make a decision. Because it's a little wrong, our lives are at stake."

Mr. Kyai lowered his head to hear Mr. Ridwan's answer. Ridwan felt sorry to see Mr. Kyai's face.

"Kyai, why are you helping them? but we could have done it."

"People who are stuck there also want to get out, Kang! they also want to be out of the shackles. Wanting to go back, at least, they did not become permanent residents there. Some of them still had faith in their hearts. I feel sorry for them. And of course, this is a request from his brother my most beloved disciple. I can't just ignore it."

Mr. Ridwan rubbed Mr. Kyai's shoulder. He knows what Mr. Kyai said.

"I'll try to help as much as I can, Kyai. But for now, preferably, Mr. Kyai do not merogo sukmo first. Mr. Kyai's health is not good."

"Yes, I'll follow your advice, Kang! thank you for coming here."

"If my free time is much, surely every day I visit you, Kyai." replied Ridwan accompanied by a smile. They then chatted outside the topic of conversation.
