The Grandpa Parjo's


Tomorrow


" Gayatri, means from now on you should be able to not eat meat. Grandpa believes Gayatri can do it. Moreover, Gayatri had promised Lord Shiva," said Grandpa Surya while staring at Gayatri who was eating cake.


" Yes, Grandpa. I will try to do it" said Gayatri who then took water to the kitchen.


" Grandfather, Uncle Budi who is in front of Grandpa's house why is always alone ? Where's his wife ? " ask Gayatri . According to Gayatri, his grandfather's neighbors were very good. Every time he came home from the garden he always gave fruits to Rara - his sister.


"He has no wife. Uncle Budi has sworn to be Sukla Brahmacari" said Grandpa Surya


" Sukla Brahm is looking for what, Grandpa ? " ask Gayatri while raising her eyebrows.


" Sukla Brahmacari is a term for people who have sworn not to marry or be single for the rest of their lives. He never even talked about marriage until his old age. It is not because a Sukla Brahmacari is not capable or weak or not like the opposite sex, but he is able to escape from worldly lust. Then he wants to gain knowledge and his love is only shown to God," said Grandpa Surya while sipping a cup of coffee.


" Well, that's great" said Gayatri


As coolly chatting with Grandpa Surya, suddenly there was a noise from outside.


" What's up, Grandma ? How are there so many outside ? " gayatri said as she peeked out of the window.


" Grandfather doesn't know either . Let's ask Grandma later. Isn't Grandma in front too ?"


Not long after, her grandmother finally arrived.


" Granny, why so many people in front?" gayatri asked her Grandma who had just come inside.


"So her son Sumi's mother disappeared while playing motor-motorcycles around her house" said her grandmother


" What age is your child, Grandma ? You see, as far as I know Sumi has two children" said Gayatri.


" His son is only four years old. Her name is Mita . Mita was briefly stayed by her sister, after her sister returned Mita was no longer in the playground. Her sister and mother thought that Mita was just playing around the grounds, but after three hours, Mita did not come back. Mother Sumi's family panicked and searched for Mita to places near her home, but they could not find Mita,"


" Where is the boy, Grandma ? " ask Gayatri again. Gandi who sat beside Wayan Rasta also listened to everything.


" When they and their other families were confused looking, suddenly a resident came up to them and said that he saw the child walking hand in hand with a Grandma , then go around the garden. Hearing that they were even more panicked and realized that his son was carried by the figure of Wong Samar (jinn ) . They also continued to look for Mita to various places. After nearly two hours of searching, his neighbor found Mita in a cow pen. Mita is seen sitting quietly on a pile of cow dung. His neighbor carried Mita and approached his family. Then her mother asked Mita why she was sitting on cow dung, and Mita said that she was invited by a Grandma who called herself Dadong Paku. The grandmother told Mita to wait on a pile of cow dung and she left Mita to go for food."


" It is fortunate that the girl was soon found" said Wayan Rasta


" So Grandma heard from her mother, that Mita could be separated from other mensi because she heard the call from her family. Then there was a Jro Balian (shaman ) said that Wong Samar named Dadong Paku thought that Mita was his grandson, because both dressed in red," said his grandmother


" Pity the boy, but fortunately he was quickly found" said Gayatri.

Daylight


" Gayatri, tonight your grandmother will start carrying out her plan to hurt your father" said Gandi


" Then what should we do for Grandma's plan to fail ?" asked Gayatri who looked confused. The girl's feeling suddenly became uneasy after hearing all that. He didn't want to see his parents sick.


" I went to Grandpa Parjo's house and told him everything, and then Grandpa Parjo said he had a solution to this problem,"


" Then let's go now to Grandpa Parjo's house, later to the night hunt" said Gayatri who immediately pulled Gandi's hand.


He then went to his father to ask permission to go there.


" The father is behind the house with Grandpa Surya. What's wrong ? " ask Luh Ani while looking back.


" I want to ask permission to go to Grandpa Parjo's house with Gandi" Gayatri replied


" Tumben going there ? " ask Luh Ani while raising her eyebrows.


" There's a little problem, Mom. Later tonight I'm telling . Now I'm in a hurry" said Gayatri who immediately left her mother.


Behind the house, Wayan Rasta and Grandpa Surya were looking for mangoes.


" Father, I want permission to go to Grandpa Parjo's house with Gandi," Gayatri said as she approached her father.


" Tumben went there ? Is there a problem ? " tanya Wayan Rasta was curious.


" I'll tell you a story later, sir. Now I'm in a hurry" said Gayatri


" Then you just bring your motorbike to get there quickly. You also bring some mangoes and give it to Grandpa Parjo," replied Wayan Rasta while putting some mangoes into a plastic bag.


"Gandi, I tipped the son of the Father huh ? You are sure that you can take care of him," said Wayan Rasta while patting Gandi on the shoulder.


" You take it easy, I will take care of him" replied Gandi


Gayatri then went to Grandpa Parjo's house with her sister and also Gandi.


An hour later they finally arrived in front of Grandpa Parjo's house.


" Shop.tok...Om swastiastu" said Gayatri while knocking on Grandpa Parjo's door.


" Of swastiastu," replied Ratih's grandmother as she opened the door of her house


" Well, it was you who came. Come on in ! " said Grandma Ratih while opening the door of her house wide.


" Thank you, Grandma. Oh yes Nek, this is a little mango from the Father," said Gayatri who immediately gave the mango he brought.


" Why bother carrying this ? Then we'll cut them together, huh ? Now let's go in ! "


Gayatri then goes inside followed by Gandi and his sister.


" You guys finally came. Grandfather has been waiting for you to come," Grandpa Parjo said with a smile and let them sit down.


" Grandfather already knew that I would come here ? " ask Gayatri while raising her eyebrows.


" Yes, grandfather knows from Gandi," Grandpa Parjo replied with a smile.


" Gayatri, Grandpa has heard everything from Gandi about Grandma Dance's plan. According to Grandpa, we must immediately thwart Grandma Dance's plan,"


"Then what should we do, Grandpa ? " gayatri said with a face that was already very worried.


" We must go to the house of a Jro Balian to ask for an Antidote to Leak from him. Long ago when Grandma Ratih was pregnant with her first child, she was once bullied by the Leak.Kakek then went to the house of a Jro Balian (shaman ) to ask for an antidote. But the antidote can only be used for people who do not have any advantages. Like Gayatri himself. If Gayatri's parents and sister can only use it because he does not have any advantages" explained Grandpa Parjo.


" No problem, Cake . I'm also looking for an antidote for them not for me. Then take me there , Grandpa, " said Gayatri while looking at Grandpa Parjo.


" all right. Then, ,ayo now we go there. Later in the afternoon," said Grandpa Parjo who immediately moved from his seat.
