DRAGON CARVED JADE BRACELET
Chapter 166: ANOTHER WORLD

    "Mas Irul .., the last time I went to Melian's crank house, something strange happened .... And I saw it for myself, Mas .." said Indra to her husband, who certainly wanted to tell her what he saw to her husband.

    "What's so weird?" asked Irul who was sitting alone with his wife in the kitchen at the back of his shop, while eating egg tofu together.

    "Mas Irul knew .., at first Babah Ho's house was unkempt, dirty and seedy .... But when I got there, everything was clean and tidy. Even the door is open. When asked the same Mbak Juminem and Pak Jamil, who cleaned it up, he said assisted by a grandfather and his men's man" said Indra who told her husband.

    "Lha ..., those guys did help Melian?" ask Irul who was also curious.

    "When I got there, with Mr. Jamil and Mbak Juminem, it was done, Mas .... The people he said were helping, no longer exist. Melian said she was home. But Grandpa was still there. Even taking me and Melian to sit a long window of wood, and then giving us advice" said his wife who looked very serious.

    "Who's the grandfather?" ask husband.

    "I've never seen it, Mas .... But she was wearing traditional Javanese clothes. Wear striated clothes and tattered pants, and wear a head iket. His face looks shady. His skin is still smooth, I feel it when shaking hands. And more surprisingly, the grandfather smelled like a newly bathed baby." his wife replied giving an idea of the grandfather she met.

    "What advice did Grandpa give?" ask husband.

    "Much, Mas .... But the point is we should not experience heartache, which is envy, spiteful, arrogant, riya .... Can not show off property, help others sincerely ..." replied Indra who still remembers the message from the grandfather.

    "Good it is, Deck .... That is what religion teaches. We must do good to others." said Irul who justifies the advice of the old man who told by his wife.

    "But, Mas .., there's something strange about that grandfather" Indra said again.

    "What, Deck ...?" Irul directly cut.

    "Grandfather we just lived a moment, has disappeared without us knowing where it went, Mas .... I'm the same Mbak Juminem went looking for it, didn't find it .... Wonderful, I .., Mas ..." said Indra who was still amazed by the disappearance of the old man last afternoon.

    It was difficult for Irul to explain the matter to his wife. Of course an educated person like Indra, let alone not understanding ancient beliefs or beliefs, must be difficult to accept the events he has just experienced. The senses can only reason with reasonable logic. Not irrational things. Especially talking about shaman problems, definitely rejecting it.

    "Dek Indra's .... Remember the gemstone I showed you on the Indra Deck? The gemstone that one of us has sold it?" ask Irul to his wife.

    "Yes, Mas .... Remember ..." replied Indra.

    "How did I get that gemstone? From the grant of Grandma Jumprit the guard of the cliff jumprit in Bandungan. Though Dek Indra did not see Grandma Jumprit at that time. Even a magnificent house like the palace I just showed you, Dek Indra did not see it .... Then I disappeared, and knew that Melian had disappeared a week earlier, met at the top of Mount Bugel, in the tomb of Mamah Melian. Strange, right ..." said Irul trying to understand his wife.

    "Then ..., the people who he said helped Melian clean up at Babah Ho's house are all from other realms that are beyond our reasoning huh, Mas ...? Including the old man who gave me advice ...?" said Indra who began to realize that he had been with people who were in different worlds.

    "Yes .... Like that about. Even if, for example, around Babah Ho's house at that time, there were people who saw Melian cleaning, I'm sure they didn't see who helped him. Including when Dek Indra was lectured by the old man, Maybe no one saw." explains Irul who wants to understand his wife about the other world that exists outside the real human realm.

    "Because .... I was so afraid, Mas ..." said Indra who immediately grabbed her husband because of fear

    "Yes ..., Mas ......." Indra was getting closer to her husband.

    "Eat him, do good, as the old man had ordered." added Irul.

    "Melian why not be afraid, Mas ...?" indra asked her husband, who was certainly amazed by the courage of Melian, who was accompanied even helped by many people from other realms unknown to man.

    "Melian has been invited to other realms. He is awaited by the ponggawa of his ancestral kingdom. And Melian already knew many guards from the visible realm. Melian often met his mother." explained Irul to his wife.

    "Is that so, Mom ...?" ask wife.

    "Yes, right .... The jade bracelet and pendant worn by Melian was her ancestral legacy. Not everyone can wear a bracelet like that. And the bracelet was worn by Melian as a baby" Irul explained the bracelet worn by Melian.

    "Kok Mas Irul knows ...?" ask Indra.

    "And since childhood Melian was spoiled with me .... If it is not carried a day, it must be crying to be carried. And I have observed that the bracelet worn by Melian is not an arbitrary bracelet" said Irul who tried to understand his wife.

    "Who gave Melian the bracelet, Mas ...?" ask Indra who wants to know.

    "I don't know, Dek .... I also did not dare to ask Babah Ho or Cik Lan. Later I guess the pretentious will know. But all I know is that the bracelet is some kind of sign for the chosen one" said Irul, who did not know the origin of Melian's jade bracelet.

    "I mean Mas Irul, chosen how?" Indra curious.

    "Yes .., a kind of reincarnation kalam in the beliefs of the descendants. A kind of incarnation or drip back from a deceased character. Either the reincarnation of whom I never knew the genealogy of Babah Ho's descendants." explained her husband.

    "Maybe it is right, Mum .... When Melian was gone, I prayed in the temple. At that moment I was crying, so sad. I was met by the Great Priest, asking for my sorrow. Then I said that Melian, the girl who had studied wushu at the temple, was missing. Then the Reverend remembered the thesis about Melian, which was his jade bracelet carved by a dragon. The pastor said that Melian was okay, he said someone was guarding. But he also said that Melian will be found by people who love him. And it turns out that the one who found Melian was Mas Irul. Means Irul Mas very dear to Melian, yes ...?" asked Indra who remembered the message from the temple priest who had once visited her.

    "Rhm ....." Irul took a long breath. Then he said, "Since childhood the boy was spoiled for me. And I know the prasis of the suffering that Melian went through. I can't bear to witness the baby's suffering, Dek .... I absolutely love him .... Until finally, news of Mr. Jamil's house was burned by savages. Mr. Jamil's house was charred all to ashes flattened to the ground. I lost Melian. I fainted many times. His grandmother became ill and was hospitalized. And when the ambulance was taken to Semarang, the ambulance actually had an accident that killed Babah Ho and his wife. At the time I was really hit. It's like not being able to live anymore. I want to feel like I'm going to kill myself. Until the old grandfather who met Dek Indra at Babah Ho's house came, he forbade me to commit suicide. He said, I am still needed in this world. I don't know who the grandfather was, but his soothing views prevented me from committing suicide. Until ten years passed, I was reunited with Mr. Jamil, Ms. Juminem and Melian. Maybe, that's destiny, who finally found us, Dek ...." Irul explained how deeply bound Irul's inner self is with Melian.

    Indra was certainly very carried away by the sadness told her husband. So she was moved, and shed tears, so sad to hear the life story of her husband and Melian.

    "In that house, there was a place used to store Melian ari-ari. It used to be caged by a basket and given a lamp. I installed it. Even though I don't know what it means. But according to Javanese beliefs, that's where the Melian twin is located. The people who live in another world. He said the tribe would be his sister's momong. So the Javanese often call with the term kakang kawah adi ari-ari crater. It was only natural that Melian suddenly wanted to take back the house. Maybe because the twin is not willing if the place will be trampled underfoot by others" said Irul who gave the reason why Melian wanted to have Babah Ho's house.

    "I understand, Mas .... I'll try to help Melian. Help Mr. Jamil and Ms. Juminem. Hopefully the house has not been taken over by someone else. I will go to the bank tomorrow to ask about Babah Ho's house" Indra told her husband, who would like to help Melian.

    "May the Almighty help us, Dek ...." Irul hugged his wife with affection, then kissed both cheeks white blushing.

    Of course Indra was immediately immersed in her husband's cradle.
