EPS 107 NOISE

The presence of love. Burning my soul. So long waiting for you to fill the heart space. But only a pseudo-space can I enjoy. Playing with your shadow, in a sea of endless images. All of that I still enjoy, even though in the end I have to be hurt.

Andika patted her own eel. He just remembered that Abah Kyai Badrussalam was not in the boarding school. He went with Panembahan Mbah Iro to find Pranaja. Usually, if Abah is traveling, the affairs of the boarding school he who took over according to the mandate of the Kyai.

Andika is still fixated to see the flames that burn the forest in the surrounding boarding school. Still he felt astonished, why did the heat of the fire not affect him?

Jlegs! Jlegs!

There was the sound of feet coming right behind him. Andika turned her head, it turned out Raden Mas Parto and Eyang Penatus. Wearing their respective greatness, they look ready to fight in the face of danger that is in sight.

“Eh, grandpa! I'm sorry I forgot about you. I should not neglect the guests who come to this boarding school,” Andika said unkindly.

“No need to worry Andika. It's our problem together, there's no way we can just stand idly by,” Raden Mas Parto said.

“Don't look at us as someone else Andika. We are family,” continued Eyang Penatus.

Andika smiled widely.

“Thanks grandpa. We just need to prepare ourselves before the fire seeps into the pesantren,” he said.

“There's nothing you need to worry about Andika,”

One voice surprised them.

“Miryam?”

They cried almost together. Behind them, the old but charming female stood tall. Her face that was as pretty as an angel looked cold and electrifying. Half of Arya Janu's face, hidden behind her back. Cowering in the warmth of the mother's body. But strangely, both the baby's eyes were brightly lit with red.

“Miriam? Ka.when did you come? I didn't hear your footsteps?” ask Andika.

Raden Mas Parto and Eyang Penatus looked in amazement. How perfect is the science of lightening the body of women in front of them. Even the whispers of the wind could still be caught with their keen sense of hearing, but the presence of Miryam, they were completely unknown.

“Don't you worry about that fire Andika. It is the fire of the devil. He won't be able to burn this pesantren. Even he who will burn himself if dare to enter this pesantren.”

Andika looked at Miryam's face full of question marks. Raden Mas Parto and Eyang Penatus looked at each other. The devil's creation? What does Miryam mean is the Banaspati demon? The demon that mastered the power of the fire core? Their inner.

“What do you mean demon Banaspati?” ask Raden Mas Parto.

Miryam nodded her head.

“True. Right now he was in the middle of a fire that was burning trees in front of the pesantren gate. But he can't get in here. There was a cloistered aura protecting this sacred place, so that demons and demons like them were unable to penetrate it.”

The two figures of the Somawangi breed nodded their heads.

“You wait here. Let me face him,” said Miryam suddenly.

Then his body dashed as fast as the night wind that disappeared in the darkness of the night.

“Miriam! Where are you going?” yell Andika.

His chest felt racing. He couldn't possibly let Miryam and Arya Janu face the unknown dangers of his powers out there. And without realizing it, Andika's body suddenly darted following the departure of the woman. Raden Mas Parto and Eyang Penatus looked at each other again. After nodding his head, their bodies flew after Andika and Miryam into the burning forest.

Among the raging flames that were burning, among the thick smoke that was billowing, Banaspati stood upright on a giant teak tree that was burning violently. His body which gave off a smoldering red color, slashed imperceptibly on the teak wood trunk which was also a smoldering red.

Banaspati stood staring at the noise of fire and smoke, looking at the Pesantren Ksatriyan Santri. What is this place? his inner. Why was the building shrouded in mist and shining golden? The heat of the fire seemed unable to penetrate the building behind the thick walls.

Apparently Banaspati did not know that this Pesantren is a sacred place that can not be visited by demons like himself. So he seemed confused to go inside. It was as if there was a magical power that rejected his presence. The stronger he forced his way in, the more powerful the force that resisted him became.

“How can I kidnap and kill Arya Janu if I cannot get into it?” inner Banaspati.

His face seemed to think hard. Anyhow the task must be completed. Otherwise he will be punished by his lord Nyai Ken Darsih. From the top of the giant teak tree he observed the activities inside the pesantren. Everything looks calm and ordinary. No panic, no anxiety. There was nothing strange, until he saw the presence of a woman carrying a baby on her back.

“What? Why do I feel like the baby is glaring with red eyes on me? Can he see my whereabouts? Arya Janu and Miryam?” various questions arise in the mind of Banaspati. “They are not ordinary people. I have to be careful.”

The slap! The slap! The slap! The slap!

Banaspati gasped in surprise. Miryam suddenly flew towards the teak tree where she was standing. Followed by three others. He could no longer hide his existence. Miryam and her baby's eyesight was very sharp. It is very rare for a human to be able to detect its presence in the middle of the sea of fire.

Miryam's body floated in the air. His eyes sharply stared towards the figure of Banaspati. Andika was behind him. Raden Mas Parto and Eyang Penatus set foot on earth. Even so, their keen sense of sight, was also able to see the existence of the fire demon body among the branches of the tree that were burning black red smoldering.

“Quite Banaspati! How dare you play with fire with me!” miriam said with a cold look.

Huh huh? Banaspati was surprised not a bitch when he saw the figure of a woman who was talking to him. Is that Nyai Ken Darsih? His inner. Unmistakably, the female figure in front of him was his own master. Why does he seem to be scolding her? Was he disappointed in my work? Batin Banaspati's.

“Sorry Nyai. Forgive the servant who has disappointed you,” said Banaspati.

Miryam smiled cynically.

“Do not pretend Banaspati. I could have burned your body with your own fire.”

Hearing Miryam's words, Banaspati's body trembled violently. He immediately knelt down.

“Who told you to!” snapped Miryam.

“What?”

“Quickly tell me, who told you!” repeat Miryam.

“Hamba just run the task given by Nyai himself,” said Banaspati while pointing towards Miryam.

Like hearing lightning in broad daylight, Andika, Raden Mas Parto and Eyang Penatus were surprised not to be trapped. So the culprit of all this noise is Miryam?
