A group of children were playing in a field with large, lush trees around it, not far from the field of a forest full of mystery appears to be watching children who are cool playing, the children look the same age, ranging from 11 and 12 years, respectively, they are playing a game that is popular in their village, gobak sodor, and, a simple game that just lines a few boxes on the ground and a few people who keep in line each box has made the faces of children in a happy free laugh, living in the village is not like in the city, simple traditional games have become the best entertainment for children.
Not felt slowly the sun had begun to set, the children began to disperse, running towards their respective homes, as well as yuli, the child who was skinned and sweet skinned was back home, too, he rushed because he could not wait to quench his thirst and hunger, because from this morning his small stomach was not filled with food or drink because of orders from his grandmother, his grandmother told Yuli to fast.
Arriving at Yuli's house immediately looking for her grandmother
"neeek, neneeeek, , I can already eat kaaaan, I'm hungry"
grandma came out of the kitchen with a plate and a glass, Yuli was impatient and sat down at the table
Yuli lives alone with her grandmother, since five years ago her mother worked as a TKW, while her father has divorced his mother and has a new family, and she has a new one, yuli's grandmother did not allow Yuli to stay with her father, fearing that Yuli's stepmother would be unable to accept Yuli.
Yuli stared at the puzzled plate her grandmother offered
"neck is just rice? the side dishes aren't there?"
grandma just smiled
Yuli suddenly felt guilty
"grandma doesn't have money to buy side dishes? Yuli's gonna help grandma make some money"
grandma smiled again
"it's been eaten, it's gonna get cold"
grandma stroked Yuli's head
"later tonight with grandma"
Yuli was seen eating rice greedily
The night has come, and the moon looks perfectly round.
Yuli was studying in her room, accompanied by a dim oil lamp, suddenly Grandma entered and approached the yuli who was studying, seen grandma carrying a black plastic bag.
"what is grandma?" ask yuli curiously
"Yuli, come with grandma"
looks like grandma has no intention of answering yuli's question
"well grandma"
Yuli followed grandma from behind without asking much.
They came out of the house only accompanied by a torch, indeed in the village of Yuli had not been touched by electricity, so for lighting only rely on oil lamps, which is what makes walking at night quite uncomfortable.
Yuli and grandma walked further and further away from the house, passing through the rice fields with great difficulty, not feeling they had arrived in front of the forest. The darkness of the forest made Yuli start to fear and embrace her grandmother. Slowly they entered the forest, the wind was quite large as if welcoming them, the rustling sound of leaves and twigs being buffeted by the wind, making enough sounds to make the feathers goosebumps, in the forest really until once in a while Yuli tripped the roots of trees that spread on the ground, but grandmother walked very smoothly without obstruction as if she really knew the ins and outs of the forest, after walking far enough, as if she had, they arrive at a shower, a rather open place in the middle of a large tree hull making the moonlight able to enter and provide a little lighting, the gurgling of water in the silence of the forest makes the heart of Yuli rustle, and the, Yuli looked towards the shower, it looked like a big bamboo stick that held water from the crevices of large rocks that were slightly covered with creeping plants.
"sit"
grandma told Yuli to sit on a big rock right under the shower.
Yuli was indeed afraid, but she did not ask much and obeyed the orders of grandmother. Yuli had a bit of trouble climbing on the stone because the condition was quite slippery covered with moss, she almost slipped but swiftly held back with both hands, but her knees were stumbled hard on the stone, he grimaced in pain and looked at Grandma as if asking for help, but she just kept quiet and stared intently at him without blinking.
grandma opened the black plastic that she brought from home, the contents made a lot of questions in the mind of Yuli, seven-figure flowers and oil that smelled pungent, the smell made the nuance even more creepy, the, then the grandmother began to bathe Yuli with shower water and seven flowers and the oil she had brought, while his mouth continued to mutter, saying something that was not understood by Yuli Grandma flushed all over Yuli's body, smelling the smell of flowers and oil stuck to Yuli's body.
Yuli did not know that her Grandmother was preparing carefully for the transfer of her family's hereditary knowledge, the initial preparation that began from the fasting she did last afternoon, until the final process by bathing it in the midnight forest with flowers and oils that smell mystical, Yuli really does not know that the knowledge that will be given by her grandmother will have a big influence on her life in the future.
