Before 365 Days
43. Gratified

The rose felt a great fear. Along with Ndoro Kusuma who was about to attack the Roses, Mawar managed to unite the heirloom. The dragon emitted a bright light.

With eyes closed, the Rose re-inserted the Dragon Heritage into Raden K's tomb.

"Aarrgghhhc ... Nooooo!" ndoro Kusuma.

Ndoro Kusuma's body slowly burned, and his form vanished into smoke. Ndoro Kusuma's ladies-in-waiting vanished without rest.

Kang Ridwan and the troupe have arrived at the edge of the flavor safely. Although many distractions come upon them.

After the boat was on the shore, Kang Ridwan and the group arrived at a road that was not too wide and still rocks and earth.

Kang Ridwan led the way in front. The atmosphere in the place was so gripping, there was no sound whatsoever. Even the crickets did not hear his voice.

The loneliness of the atmosphere there, making their hair bristles.

They then reached the forked road.

"Dimas, Aziz!" kang Ridwan to santri Pak Kyai.

Dimas and Aziz approached Kang Ridwan quickly.

"Yes, Kang!" aziz said politely.

"You go to the left, open the bushes," Kang Ridwan ordered subtly.

Dimas and Aziz sendiko dawuh. The two of them walked to the left, and then opened the bushes mentioned by Kang Ridwan. Apparently, in the bushes there is a motor that is no longer because of its existence.

Adam, Wulan, Ruman, Saras, and the two drivers were shocked together.

"Kang, we found the motor matic, same hape!" yell Dimas.

"Yes, bring it here ... Driver, please help. Lift the motor, and immediately take it to the boat for us to take," ordered Kang Ridwan.

"Sir, Kang!" both drivers at the same time.

Saras and Ruman could not resist the crying, his son's motor was found.

"That's the Rose motor, sir!" saras was accompanied by a cry.

"Yes, Mom! In a moment, we will meet the Roses" said Ruman happily.

"Mas, let's help them" Wulan told Adam.

"Yes, Nduk!" adam then approached Dimas and Aziz, with Wulan.

After the Rose motor was found, and transported by the two drivers, Dimas suddenly saw one more object, which felt like a motor matic as well. Five meters from the location of the Rose motorcycle.

"Ziz, take a look at that" Dimas pointed out.

"What's up, Mom?" ask Aziz.

Wulan and Adam looked in the direction Dimas pointed.

"That looks like a bike too, right?" ask Dimas.

Aziz, Wulan and Adam squinted their eyes. Afraid of seeing wrong.

"Eh, yes! Like a motor, Mas. Let's just go there" Aziz said.

As he was about to walk, Kang Ridwan rebuked them.

"Hey, where are you going? The motor has been transported, we continue to travel" cried Kang Ridwan.

"Sorry, Kang! We saw one more bike there!" Aziz exclaimed loudly, while pointing at the location.

Kang Ridwan slightly raised his legs so that he could see the motor pointed by Aziz.

"Let's just go out, if it's a motor, transport it, bring it here!" kang Ridwan's orders.

"Okay, Kang!" answer Aziz.

The four of them then walked closer to the object. The closer it gets, the more it becomes clear that it is a motor as well. However, the condition is more severe, already mossy, and rusty.

"Come, mas, help us lift this bike" Dimas told Adam.

"Yes, come, come!" adam said, then pulled the bike.

The three of them look troubled.

Wulan noticed the motorbike, underneath it, there was a sling bag.

After the motor was lifted, Wulan took the bag carefully.

"Come, we just take it to the boat" said Dimas.

"Let's raise three" said Adam.

"Yes, bismilbornrahmanirrahim," said the three of them.

The motor was carried by the three of them. Wulan tailed behind, while checking the contents in the bag. There is a phone and a wallet.

Wulan decided to continue her post later, after the Roses were found.

"Motor again? Whose motor is it?" inner Kang Ridwan.

"You guys just take it to the boat, after this, we immediately look for Roses" said Kang Ridwan.

Aziz, Dimas, and Adam take the motor to the boat.

The driver set up a place for the Rose motor and the motor that Dimas had just found again.

"About who's this bike, Mas?" ask Aziz.

"Where do I know," Dimas replied by shrugging both of his shoulders.

"Let's hurry, we'll join Kang Ridwan immediately" said Adam, who was later approved by others.

"Kang, I found this bag, under the bike," said Wulan while showing the bag.

"What's in that bag!" ask Kang Ridwan.

"Wallets are equal hape, Kang!" answer Wulan.

"You keep it, son Wulan. We will continue the journey again" said Kang Ridwan.

"Okay, Kang!" answer Wulan politely.

Both the driver and Adam cs, have arrived. Finally, Kang Ridwan's entourage continued its journey in search of the Rose to the right.

Kang Ridwan led in front while telling a story.

"This branching street, actually both lead to the tomb. However, the purpose of the tomb is different" said Kang Ridwan.

"Whose grave, Kang?" asked Adam curiously.

Adam's question already represented the feelings of all the troupe there. Wulan and the others, were waiting for an answer from Kang Ridwan.

"That to the left, is the tomb of Ndoro Kusuma with his followers, while the one to the right, which we are heading to, is the tomb of Raden K with his soldiers, ancestors, and people," kang Ridwan.

"Raden K, who is it, Kang?" ask Adam to come back.

"He is still a descendant of King Majapahit, soon, we will arrive at the tomb. Please just take off the sandals well, we are tenteng, or just stay in front of the archway. Don't forget to say hello, send a do'a for them better too,"

"Send the do'a to me, Kang?" ask one of the drivers who doesn't understand.

Kang Ridwan smiled at the driver's question.

"Enough Fatihah, or sholawat may too, sir! Say hello to the gravedigger, then read sholawat three times," said Kang Ridwan.

"Oh so, all right, Kang!" replied Driver.

They arrived in front of Raden K's eating gate. They said hello, and entered without using footwear, a demo honoring the place.

The rose closed his eyes, the bright light was like bringing him into a path he could not know. The rose felt the breeze so cold that it pierced its heart.

A few minutes later, the light disappeared. The rose has a different atmosphere. He felt his body warmer than before.

Slowly, Rose opened her eyes. He rubbed both of his eyes. He stood up confused. Now, he was in the middle of a tomb, with very quiet conditions. There are no creatures there.

Mr. Kyai let out a long sigh, he ended his meditation. Marsel was waiting for him with a pounding heart. I can't wait to ask you about the existence of the rose.

Mr. Kyai opened his eyes slowly, his lips smiling as he looked at the face of Marsel. He then said it while washing his face with both hands.

"Alhamdulillah," praised Pak Kyai to Alloh, who had helped him.

"Alhamdulillah, how, Mr Kyai? Did the rose come out?" marsel asked curiously.

"Alhamdulillah, Son of Marsel," replied Mr. Kyai.

Marcel was very happy to hear that. His body was a little groggy, he was already impatient to meet the Rose. Ten months ago, he waited for the rose to come home.
