Wulan then picked up the hape that was inside the bag.

Wulan was so astonished when she found many calls from Mr. Kyai.

"Astagfirulloh, Mas, Sel, it turns out Mr. Kyai called me back and forth!" wulan said while looking at Adam and Marsel in turn.

"It's not just Mr. Kyai calling you back and forth, Mas, too," said Adam with a slightly irritated expression.

"Yes, Mom! But from Mr. Kyai this is more important,"

"Hem, yes, yes. Do you see a message from him or not?" ask Adam again.

Wulan then checked the incoming message,

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma'am Wulan, if you are not busy, abis 'isya later, please contact me immediately! Thanks."

That's the message from Mr. Kyai. Wulan read it aloud so that Marsel and Adam could hear it.

"There must be something important that Mr. Kyai will tell you, Lan!" marsel said spirit.

"Yes, it would be nice if this conversation, do not be known first by Aunt Saras," said Wulan.

"Why, Lan? Aunty Saras deserves to know" said Marsel.

"Indeed, but Aunt Saras is mentally not strong. He needs to rest. Just now, he fainted when I told him the state of the Roses" Wulan said.

"Huh? Fainted? So what now?" ask Adam.

"Still unconscious in the room, was Wulan nemenin Aunt Saras, Mas! Wulan was not feeling well, because of Wulan, Aunt Saras fainted," Wulan said with a slight lethargy.

"You don't always blame yourself, you're not wrong, your intentions are good. Don't think too much. Aunty Saras and Om Ruman must have understood," Adam stroked his wife's back just to calm her heart.

"Adam's right, Lan, you don't always feel guilty. Aunt Saras is very grateful to you. Because you have helped a lot in the search, this Rose! If you do not introduce Mr. Kyai to us, we will not know the existence of the Rose until now" added Marsel.

Wulan nodded her head in a sign of understanding.

A ruman then appeared from behind and met them.

"Okay, I'm sorry, you've been waiting a long time. I cleaned my body first and prayed Maghrib all over. You pray first" said Ruman.

Wulan and Marsel moved out of their seats, preparing to head for the mosque.

"You pray here only. Behind my house there is also a small mosque. But rarely used, we prefer to pray in the room. Usually Bi Minah who likes to pray there," Ruman explained while pointing with his hand the direction of the mosque.

"Oh, is it really Om?" ask Marsel.

"Yes ... Bi Minah, Bi," cried Ruman from the living room.

Bi Minah then appeared from the direction of the kitchen.

"What's up, mister?" asked Bi Minah politely while carrying Sutil.

"Well, cook again, Bi! Sorry well, I'd like to ask you a favor, take them to the back mosque,"

"Oh, ngggeh sir. Let's son, I deliver," said Bi Minah accompanied by a smile.

Marsel, Adam and Wulan then followed Bi Minah's steps. Wulan did not forget to bring her sling bag that contained her wallet and hape.

Tonight, Kang Ridwan has arrived at Pak Kyai's house, he is discussing the matter of the Rose.

"I think the sooner the better, Mr. Kyai. Why don't we go there tonight?" asked Kang Ridwan while sipping his coffee.

"Son Wulan can't be reached yet, Kang! That's why I'm confused. Maybe, we wait for confirmation from the Rose family how?"

"We can contact him again on the way. What matters is that we leave tonight. I'm sure they will agree, I'm afraid that if you wait too long, the rose will be threatened there. Mr. Kyai himself killed Burhan, right? Ndoro Kusuma can change the form of whoever he wants, the Rose whose soul and body are still fused, we must immediately save him, before his soul is taken Ndoro Kusuma," Kang Ridwan spoke very seriously.

Mr. Kyai nodded his head.

"Aziz, have you prepared everything?" asked Mr. Kyai looking towards Aziz.

"Already, Mr. Kyai. We just leave. Ms. Nyai is preparing provisions for the road, so that we do not have to stop. Remembering the long journey," Aziz politely explained.

"Well, tonight too, we go there." replied Mr. Kyai steadily.

The four of them then moved from their seats, they attended the Islamic prayer together, after which they immediately left for the city of Roses.
