EPS 52 MISSES THE DEADLINE
The night is late. The full moon shines so brightly in its perfectly round shape. After the Isya prayer, Pranaja sat staring at the moon. His heart felt so longed but I don't know who.
“Did I miss my mom and dad? Feels not. They call me every morning and night. Asking his condition, have eaten what yet, his food salinity or sweetness, his inner”. “So, to whom should I miss?”
Then he remembered his friends who had not met for a long time, especially Miracle and Tong Pi. Two M16 secret agents who filled his days while studying in London. He was actually very worried about the safety of the two, because he remembered him who was often assigned in very dangerous places. Moreover, Tong Pi which has the ability of a traspotter, moving an object to another place in one eye.
Since he resigned from the M16, his relationship with his two best friends was immediately cut off completely. That is the policy of M. Anyone who resigns from the British Secret Intelligence Agency is immediately considered a foreigner, all access and communication channels are closed. Pranaja understood that policy because they had to keep all their activities super secret.
“May they be well. Protect my friends Miracle and Tong Pi Yes Alloh,“ his prayers in heart.
His heart also longs for adventure as before, taking a long, challenging journey to the rarely visited countries. Besides the experience that helped him through the process of maturation, Pranaja also got many new friends.
There was Princess Xenara of Mongolia, there was Edelweiss the snow princess of the Himalayan highlands, Alisher and Zyed Ustmanov's grandfather from the central Asian country who was famous for the beauty of his young girls. He also remembered Kim Mon Soo's grandfather, Ryong Bae and especially his younger brother Ryung Nae or Ren. One of the two girls who once filled the space of his heart. Another one? Maudy Ayunda's twin, Anastassya Pramono.
Pranaja smiled to himself, How are they all? One day I will visit you one by one, re-establishing the broken rope of friendship. Replenish the space of his heart with a love that had long since broken contact. Among the girls, Ren is the girl who has the strongest inner bond with him. Because she knows, for Ren, she is the first and only love of his life.
“It's been more than two years we separated Ren. It's time I looked for you, her inner”.
She recalls M's promise that she could meet Ren after two years of assimilation in South Korea. But his relationship with the M16 boss has been cut off. He no longer knows how to contact M. Pranaja did not know that Ren only experienced the process for five months. And now she is starting her career as a movie star.
His concern was still hovering, when he realized the surrounding situation had suddenly darkened. The moonlight dimmed further, and its once bright white light turned red. Cold weather also felt piercing the skin on the earth Padukuhan Somawangi.
Immediately he got up from his bed and walked out of the menu room of the pendopo room. The atmosphere is really dark. There was a mystical aura vibration that straightened his hair. He continued to walk through the pendopo room towards the courtyard of the house. Arriving in the courtyard, he saw the face of the moon that was as red as blood. Even more surprised when he saw Panembahan Mbah Iro who was standing gallantly in a hoard of banyan trees in front of the Joglo house.
“Grandfather? What is he doing?” his inner.
With the strength of his perfect body of light science, Pranaja's stocky and muscular body floated lightly and perched behind the body of Panembahan Mbah Iro. Without a sound, only the vibration of angina made Panembahan Mbah Iro know who had just come and stood behind him. But he paid no heed to it, his gaze fixed on the face of the moon covered in thick clouds of blood red.
“What happened grandpa?” ask Pranaja.
His eyes looked at the colorless face of the moon as before. Pranaja looked in amazement and did not blink at all.
“Why is there a cluster of red clouds covering the full moon?” ask Pranaja again.
Panembahan Mbah Iro still stands tall. He did not react much to answer Pranaja's question.
“It's not a cluster of clouds,” he said briefly.
Pranaja raised both of his eyebrows.
“What? Not a cloud? Why so much and able to cover the face of the moon?”
“It comes from a supernatural power that only the jinn and demons are possessed by humans.”
“Gosh!”
Unknowingly Pranaja almost shouted. The power of the Jin and Demon that Humans possess?
“What's the business of covering the face of the moon?”
“I caught the scent of revenge and anger. That's the meaning of the red color symbol.”
Pranaja nodded his head.
“Can I investigate grandpa?”
Panembahan shook his head quickly.
“No! We must not interfere in the affairs of one's heart, as long as it does not endanger the safety and soul of others.”
“Owh so. So this is why Grandpa is standing here and watching the red clouds? To keep an eye out if suddenly the black cloud is interfering with human safety?”
Panembahan Mbah Iro nodded his head.
“Then I will accompany grandfather standing here,” said Pranaja.
Then the two human bodies fell silent. But their eyes kept watching the movement of the black cloud cluster. Until a while later, the cluster of black clouds moved away and disappeared. And the face of the moon returned to its original state, again emitting a soft white light illuminating the earth. However there was another vibration of strength that only Pranaja felt and made his face gasp in shock.
“Tirtanala Power?”
Panembahan turned back to rah Pranaja.
“What did you say my son?”
“Didn't grandpa feel it?”
Panembahan closed his eyes, trying to catch the vibration that Pranaja meant. But he felt nothing.
“Taste what Pranaja?”
Pranaja looked at Panembahan's face tensely.
“Grandfather, there is another Tirtanala power. And this is stronger than what Miryam's eyes have. Much stronger!”
Panembahan scrunched his forehead. His heart was even more shocked.
“What? You mean there's someone else who holds Tirtanala?”
Pranaja nodded his head.
“Who else?”
They looked at each other in an enigmatic mystery room.
“Grandfather, sorry, could it be that Eyang Panembahan Somawangi has a mistress other than Eyang Miryam? And he also inherited the power of Tirtanala?”
“Hush! Don't talk to you!” the Hardik Panembahan Mbah Iro.
Pranaja. But his sixth sense is constantly monitoring the power of this new Tirtanala. Until dawn breaks the atmosphere of the early morning, then the power disappears. Pranaja closed his eyes, trying to find the source of Tirtanala's power, but was not found.
“Misteri what else does Panembahan's grandfather Somawangi have?”
