Ch 24 - Day 4
To the next day, after returning from dawn Elsa did not stop whining, seducing, begging Rifki so that Rifki deigned to be her private teacher in cultivation.
As Rifki was sitting in the guest chair, he was busy with his laptop at the table. Suddenly Elsa came, sitting on her knees on the floor holding and wiggling Rifki's thigh.
After last night, now Elsa is determined to make Rifki as her cultivation teacher. He therefore humbled himself as a disciple and knelt beside Rifki.
“Ki..!” persuade Elsa to Rifki so that her husband who is also the teacher's candidate will pay attention to her.
“What...? Morning is horny?!” canda Rifki was half serious while laughing silently.
Rifki was amused to see Elsa's position.
Sitting on the floor holding his thighs.
This position really makes others think a no-no. It's like Elsa wants something down there.
“Ki, seriously…! teach me to cultivate..!” elsa Whine.
Knowing Rifki's dirty thoughts because of his current position made his face slightly reddened.
“You don't see me busy anymore?!” Ask Rifki back.
“Busy what?! Your people are again downloading movies!” Elsa nodded her lips.
“Lho, this is also a job. Once downloaded, watched, edited, uploaded again can be money.” Bright Rifki gives Elsa a reason.
“Yes but you can download it while teaching me.” Elsa protests again.
“Oo, can't! That cultivation should be focused. Cannot be made part-time!” rifki said while placing both hands in front of the face to focus.
“Rifki sucks!” Elsa said that she was anxious while biting Rifki's thigh, which was still covered in a sarong.
Yes, Rifki always wears black sarongs and plain black jerseys while at home.
“Aw, aw, aw!” Jerit Rifki in pain. Since he was not in standby mode, his body was not protected by any inner power.
“Mean! Ajarin!” persuade Elsa.
“No, yes no!” rifki said firmly.
“Ugh!” Elsa left by stomping her feet.
“Oo, cat!” rutuk Rifki is quiet but can still be heard by Elsa.
If other people usually equate people with 'dog’, then Rifki has always replaced the word with 'Cat’ on the grounds that cats are smart animals that are dear to the Prophet. So there is his friend who because of his love for cats was named Abu Hurairah, which means his father's cat.
Because of his habit, Rifki earned the nickname 'Cat’ Boss.
(Author: this is a fictional story if there is a similar name, then I'm sorry. Because I deliberately borrowed your name and character. For anyone who feels familiar with the character, do not think the no-no. Again, all the events in this story are just the imagination of a crazy writer. If any reader goes crazy for reading this story, I take no responsibility)
“Biarin! His wife is the boss of cats!” elsa answered, sticking out her tongue.
At lunch, Elsa serves and feeds Rifki with patience (because there is a desire).
“Rifki my love, my dear, my sweet, my Indonesia merdeka.. ” woo Elsa again.
“Hmm... Moreover?” Rifki asked as she raised her eyebrows.🤨
“Ajarin, yes!” rayu Elsa smooth.
“Lazy, ah! Tired! Sleepy!” kilah Rifki's. After that, Rifki went to sleep. Escape from Elsa.
Elsa persuades Rifki again.
“Rifki darling. Teach dong.” says Elsa with pleading gaze.
Seeing Elsa who did not stop pleading, it was like Rifki was threatening her
“If you can't be quiet, I kiss!” Or “If you can't stop, I make you never get out of bed again!”
But it seems the threat no longer works for Elsa, because after the law Elsa will come back again begging him and make him dizzy.
In the end, after thinking long, Rifki gave up.
“Alright I will teach you.” Rifki said as she let out a long sigh.
“Yes!” Shouted Elsa in excitement.
Because of her pleasure, Elsa kissed Rifki's cheeks, which resulted in Rifki's face and ears becoming red.
“Not that you can already Asma’ Ten?” Ask Rifki curious.
Asma’ is a santri designation for meditation or energy in pencak silat which is usually accompanied by prayer.
Mbah Yai compiled ten positions of meditation forms and prayer readings that should be read in each meditation position for his students. Which is then called Asma’ Ten or Ten Steps of Asthma’.
“The movement can be, but the reading I memorized is only up to two.” Kill Elsa.
When it was still the first year in the pesantren Elsa did record it to the top ten. Because it was still very foreign, only two were memorized, after which the note was lost. Elsa had tried to search the note back, but could not find it. After that Mbah Yai never taught the science again until ten years later, it was only briefly and only two styles. You could say, the science was never taught again at all.
“One move is enough. There's self-training!” rifki Light.
“If I practice alone I do not know my fault where.” Elsa is afraid if Rifki will not give her a hint.
Elsa then demonstrated the sitting position of Step One and read the reading of the Prayer of Step One. Of course with the rules of his breath.
“Can you calm down first.”
Rifki said giving Elsa a little peace of mind.
Rifki thought, how will she explain to Elsa to understand.
“Straight One, concentrate!” rifki said giving aba-aba.
“You remember what Mbah Yai said while teaching meditation?” Rifki said as she walked slowly around Elsa, giving Elsa a chance to think.
“Concentration! Breathe out! Clear minds! Fused with nature!” Elsa replied, keeping her eyes closed.
“Yes, now you try to concentrate! Breathe out! Clear minds! Fused with nature!” Rifki said slowly like a hypnotic tone.
Listening to Rifki's direction, Elsa began to try to concentrate completely. But he still expects further instructions.
“What else do you remember?” ask Rifki back.
“Feel your heartbeat and blood flow.” replied Elsa back
“Yes, feel the heartbeat and blood flow throughout your body.” said Rifki give directions that actually already know Elsa. Um, unnecessary instructions actually.
“Try to remember, what else did he say?” Tanya Rifki tries to dig back Elsa's memory.
“Pass your awareness of nature around you!” Elsa replied after a little thought.
“Yes, expand your awareness of the nature around you! Feel every wind, every sound, blend with nature!” Said Rifki trying to detail.
“Concentration! Watch your breath and readings.” Rifki said back. Turning around, Elsa turned in the opposite direction from before.
Even though the way Rifki walk is almost without sound because of the very light steps added during being in the house they will always be barefoot, but Elsa can still hear Rifki's footsteps.
It is as if Rifki deliberately stepped with a certain rhythm that calms the heart.
“Try to feel every vibration in the body.
Expand your consciousness throughout the body until you can feel the flow of blood throughout the body.
Expand again until you can feel every cell connected in your body.
Feel every pulse and vibration in every cell in your body.
Spread the heat throughout the body.
Hold your breath to get longer.
Think of air as energy that you can absorb in your body.
Absorb all the energy in the air with your breath.
Feel the energy that enters your body and spread it throughout the body.
Feel the heat in your stomach.
Then center that energy down your belly.” Rifki said slowly.
Her voice sounded like a hypnotic tone in Elsa's ears.
Elsa tries to concentrate as Rifki instructed.
Before long, Elsa began to feel the heat in her body.
Elsa can even hear the noise of various kinds of insects around her house.
He suddenly felt a silence in the crowd of insects around him and his heart began to feel very calm.
“Do you remember the atomic chemistry lesson?” ask Rifki back.
“Everything is made up of atoms. Protons and neutrons!
Every atom comes from the same material.” Elsa replied as she frowned.🤔
Elsa did not expect Rifki would give her questions related to chemistry. What does chemistry have to do with cultivation try?!
But Elsa still kept her eyes closed concentrating, not trying to protest Rifki's words.
“Apply all atomic theory in your body!” said Rifki again.
Because it seems Elsa is still confused, Rifki again asked.
“From what were all atoms created?”
“Light.” replied Elsa still in meditation and closed her eyes.
“Yes, all created from the same one element, light energy.” then Rifki added again
“Convince yourself that everything is made of light! The entire universe is made of the same matter. Everything is connected to the universe. Remember the lesson of atomic potential energy?”
“The binding energy of an atomic nucleus is the energy required to disconnect the atomic nucleus from its forming particles protons and neutrons.” Elsa answered, trying to recall a lesson she never touched again for fifteen years. Luckily Elsa has quite a strong memory for these subjects.
Because at school he got a very perfectionist chemistry teacher who required all his students to memorize a lot of tables. From the periodic table of elements, the table of salts, the table of electron trajectories, to the table of boiling points.
Elsa still remembers, her teacher likes to give replicates to her students with just one problem but the answer requires two sheets of folio paper back and forth. Not to mention a pile of homework that must be completed every day.
The teacher had a habit of collecting the National exam script every year and making the manuscript as a daily meal for his students.
The most annoying thing is that the teacher does not even believe in his students because the results of their semester replay average nine so as to give them a re-examination that contains only one problem whose answer is very very long dong deh.
Because it is natural that Elsa can still remember it until now, it can be said that the subject of chemistry is one that she was very good at that time.
“Note, what energy is in an atom?” rifki.
“Energy of atomic nucleus binding, ionization energy, energy of transition and electron excitation, energy of electron level, total energy of electron.”
The two of them answered calmly.
“Why is steel so strong?”
“Because they have a high molecular mass and density, so have a high melting point.”
Elsa still could not find any relevance between natural science and cultivation science.
Although Elsa has often read books about cultivation, but Elsa still considers that Qi, or cultivation energy is a miracle or a kind of imagination of the author alone, just like magic. It ultimately requires another energy to activate it.
Because the average cultivation story takes place in another world.
“If you can make the molecules in your skin fuse together, you can turn your skin into steel. What is laser?”
“A type of electromagnetic wave.”
“What is a wave?”
“Vibration with specific frequency.”
“The higher the level of one's mastery of waves the more that person can manipulate atoms.” Rifki explained.
“All objects in the universe are composed of atoms
Electrons in an atom surround the atom in a particular trajectory.
The electron will release or emit energy if the electron moves from the outer path to the inner path.
The electron will absorb energy if the electron moves from the inner trajectory to the outer trajectory.”
“Electron can orbit only at a certain distance from the atomic nucleus, and Atom will emit energy if it descends from higher energy orbit to a lower energy orbit.”
“Remember, that Atoms have different energy levels between atoms with each other. What is called Ionization energy?”
“Ionization energy is the energy needed to release an electron causing the atom to become charged or ionized.” Elsa replied calmly without thinking.
“Basically an atom consists of a positively charged atomic nucleus and negatively charged electrons. Every atom is neutral. During circumnavigation of the nucleus, the centripetal force is formed from the attractive force between the electron and the atomic nucleus.
What can roughly affect atoms?”
“Temperature, energy wave. Solid or liquid at a certain temperature the atoms will emit radiation energy with a certain wavelength.”
Rifki was satisfied with the answer Elsa gave. She thought, actually Elsa is quite smart, but why is she still so stupid. Can't understand the concept of cultivation.
In theory, high temperatures can indeed change the trajectory of electrons, but Elsa still can't imagine how humans can still maintain her body shape if all the atoms in her body change?!
How much heat does it take to change the trajectory of electrons throughout its body?
“Can you draw conclusions from this law?” ask Rifki at the end.
Elsa tries to think deeply. In theory it is. But he wasn't sure if the human body could manipulate atoms.
Because all this time, to manipulate atoms, the researchers used sophisticated tools and it could only manipulate a few atoms.
Rifki added “If you can apply this theory to the body. It is not difficult to do things that seem impossible.”
By the way it's easy. Yes, in theory it's easy! The practice is difficult! Grunt Elsa inwardly without changing her position.
“Keep practicing and the more heat energy you store in your body. The higher your level of ability to manipulate atoms.” said Rifki as if she did understand Elsa's worries.
Elsa does not protest but Rifki is convinced that Elsa is still having trouble digesting it. So he gave Elsa time to think about it for herself.
Elsa was still grumbling in her heart. But now he's like a guy who has a test problem to solve on his own so he can't ask Rifki anymore.
If Elsa asks Rifki again, Elsa believes Rifki will scoff at her intelligence.
After all Elsa was too embarrassed to ask Rifki to teach her cultivation again because Rifki had gone to great lengths to make her understand.
Yes, maybe he is still too stupid and can not be sure of the science.
