" Granny, please take me to Trunyan village sometime, especially to his grave. Isn't Trunyan village the birthplace of Grandma ? So Grandma must have family there," Gayatri said as she looked at her grandmother.


" Yes, you are right. Grandma has a lot of family there. But if you want to go there, then you have to know the restrictions and prohibitions if you go there," Grandpa Surya explained


" What are the restrictions and prohibitions ? " asked Gayatri with such a curious face.


" If later Gayatri visit the cemetery of Trunyan customary village, abstinence from taking anything from the grave area for you to take home. Even the items that you find in the cemetery area should not be moved or cleaned, even though the intention is good, because it is not necessarily good for those who are intangible.Ball talk is not polite let alone to speak dirty, because it is not necessarily good for those who are not intangible, because sometimes in the lake area near the cemetery of Trunyan village, out sulfur substances that cause a pungent odor, so sometimes appear joking or joking like 'smells not good' and it is not allowed. Then the prohibition to be impolite, such as spitting because of disgust in the cemetery area, such as, because in the area it is not uncommon for visitors to find bodies that are laid down just like that with the former supplies - supplies of graves and offerings, this is because the place for burial of dead bodies or bodies of dead people is full, already full, so the oldest body will be moved out. Then the last one abstained from taking human skulls placed in a row in the cemetery area, whether it's just curious or selfie photos, without permission first."


" It's scary too, Grandpa."


" It used to be during Grandpa and Grandma's wedding ceremony, Grandpa went to Trunyan village with his family and neighbors who were nearby. At that time there was a neighbor near here who wanted to see the grave of Trunyan village. Then Grandma's family drove them there. As they were in front of the grave of Trunyan village, suddenly a hundred thousand banknotes belonging to one of the neighbors fell and entered into a pit .The size of the hole is about the size of a hundred rupiah coins. What makes them confused is that the paper money was not folded, but it is very easy to enter the hole and after that sink into the lake. At that time Grandpa's neighbor wanted to take the money that fell, but Grandma's family forbid it" said Grandpa Surya.


" Serrant as well yes, kek. I'm getting scared,"


" If Gayatri always remembered the restrictions and prohibitions that Grandpa had said then there would definitely be no problem" replied Grandpa Surya


The tomorrow..


"Gandy ? He said he wanted to go home to your mother and sister, but why haven't you been there yet ?" asked Grandpa Surya while looking at Gandi who was helping Luh Ani make canang.


" Yes, son. Your mother must have been waiting for you. Better meet your mother first, then let Gayatri help you make canang," Kadek Ayu told his daughter-in-law.


" Mom and Dad are currently going to the petanu river in Gianyar district. They went there to visit a friend of Dad who is currently sick," said Gandi while helping Luh Ani.


" Grandfather knew the river, because it just so happened that Grandpa had a brother there" Grandpa Surya said


" Yes, Grandpa . On the river is the town of Wong Samar. And Wong Samar who lives there is Wong Samar from high society. Because the house is made of gold, "gandi replied while cutting banana leaves.


" Maybe because it is common to see such a thing 'Second, '" said Gayatri.


" There was once a citizen named I Putu Setiawan who likes to fish in the Petanu river. He often saw mystical things there. Starting from the water that was initially calm and then suddenly surging as high as the house, rumbling sounds like a group of people were connecting chickens and others. When Grandpa visited there too many Grandpa saw mystical things, and that made Grandpa afraid, once grandfather crossed paths with a woman with long hair and yellow skin. He was sitting casually on a rock in the middle of the stream. At first, I thought it was bule. There is a Kamandalu hotel. Grandfather greeted him, but he did not respond. Grandpa just passed it. There's not two minutes yet, Grandpa looks at him again, but he's gone. At that moment, my fur sat Grandpa straight up. Unfortunately, my grandfather was alone at the time. But luckily Grandpa can still run," Grandpa Surya said with a smile recalling the incident.


" Why should I be afraid, Grandpa ? Wong Samar's life is like human life here. It's just that they're invisible" Gandhi explained.


" Grandfather wasn't used to seeing things like that. Especially when Grandpa first saw such a strange thing, Grandpa until sick two weeks. Grandfather's face turned pale the first time he saw such a thing. But over time Grandpa finally got used to seeing mystical things. There was a time when Grandpa visited the forest with your Grandma. We smell really good cooking, but Grandpa didn't see anyone around. Then Grandpa thought that it must be the Wong Samar nation" said Grandpa Surya


In the afternoon Wayan Rasta and Gandi went to the rice fields to help Grandpa Surya. Every day Sandy always helps them. He lived his life like a normal human being.


" Gandi, I'm getting married again in two weeks" Lio said, sitting next to Gandi.


" Married ? It turns out you secretly have a lover huh ? " gandi said with a smile.


Lio exhaled his breath violently.


" I don't have a lover, but I'm in a match with Daddy" replied Lio lowered his head.


" Lio, what the hell do you want to be in a match ? If you don't like the girl, you better refuse the match. Do not obey all Ayahanda's words," said Gandi while patting Lio on the shoulder.


" I dare not oppose Father. Moreover, he already wants to nurture me into his son," said Lio


" It is better to live alone and seek our own happiness than to live in a constant order. You better think about everything. I love you so much, so I don't want you to live in suffering" Gandhi said, embracing Lio's shoulder. After his sister was born, Gandi had seen for himself his father who was always angry with Lio. But Lio only kept silent and lowered his head as his father scolded. Unlike him who always fought his father.
