GLANCED
Not getting a solution

" Mom, why should we celebrate Galungan Day ? " tanya Gayatri while looking at her mother who is making cakes to use on Galungan Day.

" Galungan Day is a holy day where Hindus celebrate the descent of the gods and ancestors to the earth and meet their descendants."

" So our holy ancestor's spirit will descend from heaven and meet his family ?"

" Yes, right. Usually the spirit of our ancestors sometimes comes through dreams so that his family knows that he has come home" Luh Ani explained.

" Whoa, great. Did our ancestral spirits ever come to Mother's dreams ? "

" Of course it ever . Every day Galungan Mother often dreams there are our ancestors who visit here,"

" Mother, if Hindus had not celebrated Galungan, would something bad have happened ? " ask Gayatri while raising her eyebrows.

" The word Galungan itself comes from the Old Javanese language which means to fight or win, Galungan also comes from Dungulan which means to win. In the calendar of Bali the eleventh wuku is named Dungulan while in Java it is called Galungan, the name is different but has the same meaning of victory. According to Lontar Purana Bali Dwipa, Galungan Day was first celebrated in Bali on Purnama kapat right Buddha Kliwon Dungulan, dated 15, saka year 804 or 882 AD. However, the ritual of this celebration had been stalled for many years,"

" Then what happened, Mom ?"

" As a result, many kings who ruled in Bali at that time died at a young age. In addition, the Island of the Gods is also constantly shaken by various disasters, said in Lontar Sri Jayakasunu. Until finally, during the reign of King Sri Jayakasunu, Galungan celebration was held again. Initially, the king wondered why the previous kings were short-lived and Bali was often hit by calamities. King Sri Jayakasunu also meditated. In his hermitage, he gets a whisper that is believed to come from Goddess Durga. From the Wangsit, the strongest reason for the various oddities that have occurred so far, namely because the people of Bali have forgotten the warning Galungan.At the order of King Sri Jayakasunu, Galungan celebration is revived, and the celebration of Galungan is revived, and continues to be held for generations until now."

" Why did it stop 'Bu ? " asked Gayatri curiously.

" In Bali, there was once a wrathful angkara king named Mayadenawa. This very powerful king often does adharma or evil. With his power, Mayadenawa not only controlled Bali, but also the island of Lombok, Blambangan, even to the land of Bugis. Feeling the most pain, Mayadenawa ordered his people to worship him. Gods were forbidden from being worshipped, even many temples and places of worship were destroyed on the orders of the despot. Mayadenawa's behavior that has exceeded the limit makes people restless . Until finally, a religious leader who is also the regent of Pura Besakih named Mpu Sangkul white meditated to ask for guidance from God. Mpu Sangkul Putih finally got inspired. He was instructed to go to Java Dwipa or India for help. Mpu Sangkul Putih carried out the money he got, and finally got help. According to mythology, the aid was given by the God Indra, the God who rules the weather. Long story short, there was a great battle between the stronghold of Mayadenawa and the forces belonging to God Indra. Mayadenawa's army is overwhelmed . The cruel king made some devious actions, but Mayadenawa still lost. This mythology is the basis for the commemoration of Galungan Day, that dharma or goodness will be able to defeat adharma aka evil" Luh Ani explained.

" Oh, I just found out all that. Then if the day is Kuningan, Bu ? " ask Gayatri again

The Wong Samar Kingdom.

Gandi is still in the kingdom of Wong Samar. He had not been able to return to the human world because he had to talk to his father about the problems that had occurred in his Kingdom.

Gandhi was confused as to what to do at the moment. In his deepest heart the man wanted to choose Gayatri and live in the human world, but the people of Wong Samar do not accept that Gandi lives in the human world with the status of married to Gayatri. But if he chooses his Kingdom, then he must forget Gayatri forever.

" Gandi, now what should we do ? " ask Lio while sitting next to Gandi.

" I don't know either. I think my head is about to break thinking about everything. Did I just bring Gayatri here ? "

" Gayatri is a girl who has advantages, she is not an ordinary human like Mother. If Gayatri is brought here, someone will want to eat it" Lio explained.

" But isn't Gayatri currently prey since she doesn't eat meat ? " ask Gandhi while raising his eyebrows.

"But still, if anyone bothers Gayatri and she can't hold back her anger then our kingdom could be destroyed. Some people who have special advantages like Gayatri should not stay here too long because we are different from him. If he stayed here too long then his lifespan would definitely not be much longer. Unlike Mother, if Mother is an ordinary woman. Even so, after your sister grows up, then Mother will also definitely become Wong Samar . Ordinary humans who do not have special advantages will not be able to see Mother. Only humans who have an inner eye can see it, and that's because Mother has been here for too long" Lio said.

" You are right. I don't think there's a solution that pops into my head. Gayatri would be very sad to know all this. All this time he was close to me. I love him too. It never crossed my mind to leave him. I always feel comfortable and happy when I'm around him. Moreover, we have been together since childhood. Play together, tell stories and laugh together. It was so much more fun than being here and hearing the Father who was always angry with me every day. Moreover, Gayatri's parents were very kind to me. Actually I did not really need this marriage bond, because for me to be near him and laugh with him alone it was very happy 'but Father himself at that time who married us forcibly. I did love Gayatri, but I realized that I was different from her. This is all because of Ayahanda," said Gandi with tears that had dripped

" Yes you are right. It's all because of Ayahanda . Then we better meet Father. Who knows, Ayahanda has a solution in solving this problem," said as he moved from his seat. Gandi then followed Lio from behind with a blank look.
