Ch 23 - Night 3
Later that night, as Elsa and Rifki prepare for sleep.
Elsa wants to ask Rifki, what has made her restless.
“Ki, do you believe in reincarnation?”
In Javanese belief there is also a belief such as reincarnation which is commonly called drip.
But according to Elsa the drops are not permanent.
Or maybe only some of the properties are declining.
Because Elsa found there are many people who claim to be drops of Semar.
As for who the original drop of Semar no one knows.
Elsa knows that actually all the characters in the wayang kulit exist and are real, only now they live in another world.
Elsa also knows that the jinn-type creature either the evil or the good that people commonly refer to as the white jinn or khadam (khadam comes from Arabic which means guard) is basically has a ignorant nature, likes to play tricks on humans.
Because the jinn have the ability to change, they often pretend to be spirits or so-called ghosts.
Some shadow puppets even contain the soul of the characters so that there are many horror and klenik stories among dhalangs.
Like a puppet box that becomes very heavy, a puppet that becomes alive and moves on its own.
Puppets who do not want to go out to play because they have not eaten offerings.
Banana trees that can not be tancapi puppet or Puppet that do not want to stick in the banana tree.
(Usually when playing the puppet, in order to stand on the plug into the body of the banana tree)
Semar is the name of the main punakawan figure in Javanese and Sundanese puppetry. This character is said to be the nanny and advisor of the knights in the epic performance of Mahabharata and Ramayana of India. Wikipedia
Semar has many other names including Janggan Smarasanta, Ki Lurah Badranaya, Ki Lurah Nayantaka
Semar is said to have a short body, short hair, white face, large buttocks, distended stomach, wearing a characteristic ring on the index finger.
“Why?” Ask Rifki curious.
“No, I just wanted to ask. Maybe you are also a reincarnator.” said Elsa while thinking.
“Hahaha...How can?” riffi asked back while laughing. She did not expect that Elsa would have such thoughts.
“Either why every time I see I feel you like Petruk.” Elsa said as she lifted her shoulders.
“Hahaha... Have you met Petruk before?” Tanya Rifki's getting ticklish. As far as Rifki is concerned, Elsa has no eyes that can see ghosts, spirits or jinn.
Petruk is a figure of the Punakawan in Javanese puppetry. In the realm of Pasundan (West Java), the character Petruk better known as Dawala or Udel.
Petruk also has many names, including Dawala, Bagong Bolong, Dublajaya, Pentungpinanggul, Jengglongjaya, Bambang Pecruk, Welgeduwelbeh Tongtongsot.
Elsa had heard Mbah Yai himself once said that the name Petruk comes from the Arabic Fatruk which means the difference between good and bad.
Petruk has a tall body, thin, long-nosed and has a nature like to joke.
Maybe because Rifki has a very sharp nose, a tall body, thin and Rifki nature who likes to joke, so Elsa considers Rifki like Petruk.
“So please, sometimes I can see, sometimes not.” Answer Elsa honestly.
“You yourself believe?” Rifki asked again while holding back her laughter.
“Trust what?” asked Elsa, because her mind was a bit distracted right now.
“Reincarnation.” says Elsa returns her main topic.
“Yes, but not one hundred percent. I guess... It was like a drip, only a fragment of soul entered the body. Not the soul as a whole.” Bright Elsa.
Mbah Yai once explained that in Islam and Javanese teachings, drops do exist but are slightly different from Reincarnation as believed by the Chinese.
Reincarnation in Islam is life in the afterlife (spirit nature) and life back in the Mahsyar Realm (Padang Mahsyar).
It is said that the Mahsyar Field is a vast desert where the sun is so close that those who have many sins will be drowned by their own sweat.
It is in this field that men from the time of Adam until the apocalypse are gathered together to be judged.
At that moment all humans were revived, waiting, standing, and naked.
But no one has a dirty mind because everyone worries, thinks of himself and his charity.
They waited there for a thousand years, one day equal to a thousand years.
For those who have a godly charity, in the afterlife he will reap an easy life.
Similarly, in the Mahsyar Realm after the end of the day arrives and all beings are revived to be held accountable for that time in the world.
On that day, everyone felt confused and tried to seek help (intercession).
They ran to the Prophet Adam who was the ancestor of mankind to ask for help, but the Prophet Adam himself was confused because he also violated the commandment of God not to eat the fruit of the Khuldi.
Then they ran in search of Abraham, who was the father of the believers, but Prophet Ibrahim also refused because when he destroyed the statue asked by king Namrud who destroyed all the statues he answered it while pointing to the largest statue where the axe hangs.
When they asked for help from Prophet Isa Al Masih which means Helper, he also refused because he felt responsible because his people considered himself as a god.
Then they asked Muhammad for help, but not everyone was qualified to get his help.
If the man had godly charity, he would not feel the agony of waiting in line like those who do not believe.
Even some of God's lovers will be provided with clothing and food while they wait.
There is even a history that says that at that time the Muslims themselves were divided into seventy-three groups, where each group has its own identifying flag.
It is said that before man was created, when man was still in the spirit realm.
Allah asked “Alastu bi rabbikum?” Which means am I your God?
All human spirits replied, “Balaa! syahidna” which means true! We testify!
Because in the human world there is no memory as long as he is in the spirit realm, many humans do not fulfill his promise.
And after man is collected in the Mahsyar Realm again, man will be held accountable for his promise in the spirit realm.
There are so many stories based on the Hadith that tell of the horror of the Day of Resurrection which is the true reincarnation of man.
“So it could be in a person's body there are some drops or fragments of the soul.” He continued to explain his theory.
Mbah Yai once explained what is meant by the drop is that for some lovers of God who have moved, the world, they will guard and provide guidance or knowledge to the people who are still alive so that the person can understand even though they never seem to learn the science.
“This is my own theory anyway.” Elsa said back while remembering that she had also experienced something similar.
Before being explained by Mbah Yai, Elsa had understood and understood what Mbah Yai would say first.
While Rifki just silently thought without commenting anything.
“Means I'm curious about your view. You will be smarter, you can see spirits, this can be it.” continued Elsa said the reason for her question while praising Rifki.
“Can this be it, what do you mean?” tanya Rifki was curious about what Elsa meant by the word “can this it”
Rifki doesn't think that his stupid wife, who can't see ghosts, will know her secret.
She doesn't understand what Elsa really wants to know.
“Yes, can fly like a master, can teleport. Until I myself suspect, lest you be a Guardian Mastur.” said Elsa bluntly.
Guardians of Mastur is a term for the degree of lover of God which means the Hidden or the Concealed.
Rifki thinks that he is not fit to get to that stage.
“Hus! Nawdle! If you talk in the guard! What masturbator? What guardian? Guardian disciple? A homeroom teacher? All that there is knowledge, there is a way.” Rifki explained after trying to stop her laughter.
“Ha-ha-ha.. Usually the guardian will never want to admit that he is the guardian.” joked Elsa half a guess.
Somehow Elsa is convinced that with her ability Rifki at least level with the special forces who guard nature.
“Do you really have any knowledge?” elsa asked back while blinking her eyes.
His eyes immediately Ijo heard that science can be learned.
“Then, ajarin.. said Elsa begging.” pinta Elsa while holding Rifki's hand.
“How can you not? Aren't you smarter than me?” Rifki said back to ask because she felt astonished at Elsa.
She thinks Elsa is sometimes smart, sometimes stupid, sometimes pretending to be stupid.
They are one school, one class.
Where they both had experienced meditation training by Mbah Yai.
Indeed, not all students who had been trained Mbah Yai managed to master it.
But with Elsa's level of understanding, it's impossible if Elsa doesn't understand the importance of the science.
Rifki could not believe that Elsa had not continued her training at all.
Moreover, Elsa had attacked him calmly inside.
“Who said?” Elsa blinked her eyes in a slight annoyance.
Because he did not think that Rifki knew his secret.
Elsa had indeed heard Mbah Yai once said if there are diligent meditation practices so that reaching a certain level can make someone fly.
So that he secretly continued to practice on his own.
But Elsa feels her achievement is still far less than Rifki's achievement.
“I just. Hahaha” replied Rifki while laughing out loud to see Elsa who began to blush because of her secret discovery.
“Mmm... Ki, did you learn to cultivate?” elsa asked back after thinking long.
“Why else..?” said Rifki began to get tired of feeling his wife who likes to pretend to be stupid or indeed stupid.
What is the difference between meditation and cultivation?!
Does Elsa not understand that the meditation practice of Mbah Yai is one of the cultivation manuals?!
If without cultivation how could Elsa possibly maintain her physique like a girl in her twenties.
If without cultivation, how could Elsa attack him with deep strength.
Rifki also felt tired of listening to the unimportant question Elsa who actually Elsa herself already knew the answer.
Rifki feels that Elsa already knows but does not know what she knows.
Rifki so remember that Mbah Yaj had said that Elsa is a person who is “takhoyar” which means confused, drunk, unconscious and “ambivalent” or his language is hypocritical or conflicting personalities.
It's just that Elsa's hypocrite is different from the hypocrite in general.
What Elsa hides is precisely what her goodness and what is shown to anyone is her evil.
So sometimes Elsa deliberately to be stamped evil, cruel, naughty and so on.
“Ajarin...” whining Elsa like a child.
“Gak!” Reject Rifki while dropping her body onto the bed.
He closed his eyes and covered his body, preparing to go to sleep.
Rifki felt she was too tired just from talking to Elsa.
“Ajarin!” elsa said a little firmly while leaning her body on Rifki.
“Do not pretend to be stupid! Don't you also have internal energy?!” Rifki said slightly cynically as she narrowed her eyes while plucking her finger at Elsa's forehead.
“Iya, but it is not as strong as you. After all I do not have a private teacher..” praise Elsa on Rifki, hoping her appeal succeeds in making Rifki willing to become her private teacher.
“Do you think I have a private teacher?! That's because you're the lazy meditation practice!” Rifki said in a slightly irritated tone while trying to turn her back on Elsa.
“Ugh! Rifki sucks!” grouse Elsa while hitting Rifki's arm.
“If you are diligent in training, you can also fly.” Rifki said again while closing her eyes again.
Rifki braced herself not to pay attention to Elsa, resting her body and brain that were tired of hearing Elsa's chatter.
“Ki...” Elsa's header while shaking Rifki's shoulder forces Rifki to open her eyes again. Rifki pretends to be asleep. 😴😴
Rifki was surprised, why Elsa did not feel tired bothering him, but all day Elsa did not rest at all.🙄
Rifki had previously wanted to let Elsa rest tonight given Elsa's flurry in the kitchen earlier.
But since Elsa doesn't seem to want to rest, Rifki so has some thoughts to make her exhausted tonight.😒
“Sleep! If you can't stay still, then I'll make you unable to wake up again tomorrow!” Threaten Rifki seriously without opening his eyes.
Ahem! Actually Rifki just wanted to threaten him without the desire to make it happen. But Rifki felt her own heartbeat begin to throb, forcing her blood to be more intense in suppressing the muscles in her stomach.🤨
Hearing Rifki's threat, Elsa instantly fell silent, her face automatically flushed red, her heart skipped a beat and her mind instantly imagined indecent things.🤯 😱😱
Elsa did not expect that Rifki would become bolder now. 😰😰
Elsa did not dare to hope, but she also would not refuse if Rifki did want her. 😶😶
With a stiff body, slowly Elsa positioned herself to sleep next to Rifki, she was afraid to touch Rifki's body.
Because now Elsa knows that Rifki's body resistance is stronger than her.
Elsa thought, if Rifki was serious, she would definitely never be able to get out of bed tomorrow morning from being too tired. 😱😱
Elsa was scared, but her body was also fully awake and slightly hopeful. Ughhhh! What is he really thinking?!😱 <TAG1>
Is the body of Elsa lying next to him, Rifki's body becomes increasingly stiff. His breathing choked, he began to swallow his own saliva.
No fine! This is no good! Elsa's body has now turned into a powerful magnet for her body. Think Rifki.
Rifki also rearranges her breathing so that her heartbeat returns to normal.
Seeing the condition of Elsa who was instantly speechless and chose to sleep made her heart slightly disappointed.
Rifki hopes Elsa will challenge him like before.
Because even though her dog's nose can smell the sweet scent that comes out of Elsa's body fluids, but Elsa doesn't seem to be in the mood to make love to her tonight.
In the end both of them also close their eyes with the body awake and long each other for several hours before falling asleep due to fatigue.
(And the audience was disappointed 😝😝)
