“Mas I've been handsome what not,” asked Adit while grinning to Bagas.

“Udah Dit, really handsome Ningsih must be interested in you,” said Bagas who smiled.

“Opo iyo to Mas (what is Mas)”

“Wih want to go where you two are very neat,” chirped Edwin who approached Bagas and Adit.

“Not your business,” says Adit.

“Aroma-aromanya want to meet this girl, yes not Dit?” ask Edwin.

“If yes why, then if not why?” adit.

“If you do know me which girl do you estimate Dit?” 

“Owalah, danger later if I know you, can my girl you brush. You are a land crocodile Win,” chirped Adit.

“Ha-ha-ha, take it easy Dit I'm not level with your girl,” chirps Edwin who mocked Adit.

“Ooo, less cool people,” said Adit who was upset.

“Already, let's go you two are already rich cat and mouse just always fight,” Bagas who advises them both.

“Dit! Don't forget to go home bring by-by” cried Edwin.

Bagas and Adit had come out of the mes, they both headed for Bagas' car. After arriving at the car door they rushed into the car and then to the house of the woman they like.

In the middle of the journey Adit invited Bagas to chat.

“Mas, about Ningsih likes not the same me?” ask the pessimistic Adit.

“Dit I tell you yes, the docile-benign chick pigeons are indeed in front of us they are expensive selling snobs but in fact they save hearts to us.” 

“Ah time anyway Mas, but if I see Sekar do like the same Mas Bagas, but if Ningsih I am still not sure.”

“Adit ... Adit, I tell you again yes, the girl likes to be fought the most, so you have to fight for your love to get Ningsih,” advice from Bagas 

“Masa to Mas, okay then I will fight for my love to get you Ningsih,” chirped Adit excited.

Not long after that they had reached Kuncoro sir's house.

Bagas and Adit got out of their car parked in the courtyard of Kuncoro's house.

“Assalamualaikum,” said Bagas while knocking on the door of Kuncoro's house.

Heard someone knocking on Kuncoro's door came out.

“Waalaikumsalam,” said Kuncoro opened their doors both.

“Oh Nak Bagas and Nak Adit, what is it?” ask Kuncoro.

“Emmm .. no papa Pak wants to visit my house this afternoon by chance to meet Sekar in the market, and I intend to visit Mr.'s house,” said Bagas explained the purpose of his arrival.

“Ohhhh wait a moment you call Sekar and Ningsih first, Come in Nak Gas and Nak Dit,” Kuncoro who let you in.

“Thank you Sir.”

Bagas and Adit entered Kuncoro's house and sat in the living room.

“Ningsih, Now this Nak Bagas and Nak Adit have arrived!” kuncoro shouted calling his two children like knowing the purpose of both of them.     

“Iya Pak,” sahut simultaneously Ningsih and Sekar in the room.

“Let's Mbak us out, Father has called,” Tegur Sekar.

Sekar also left Ningsih, headed to the kitchen to make them drinks.

While Ningsih was busy in the room polishing her face with natural makeup.

‘Bang Bagas definitely interested me, as if I was the prettier to the Sekar weigh, ' muttered Ningsih in the mirror was applying his face.

Sekar had reached the living room while bringing drinks to the three of them.

“Sit here Nduk, where's your Mbak?” ask Kuncoro.

“Still in room sir.”

“Try calling Nduk,” Kuncoro command.

Sekar returned to the room to call his brother Ningsih.

After Ningsih and Sekar finished walking towards the living room to meet Bagas.

 Upon arriving the two of them in the living room Sekar and Ningsih sat side by side next to his father Kuncoro.

Bagas also began to open the chat in added Adit which can always melt the atmosphere to be crowded with laughter.  

But when they were all busy chatting one of the villagers hurriedly came to Kuncoro.

Kuncoro went out to the courtyard of his house to meet the villagers.

“What's the rush once?” ask Kuncoro.

“Begini Sir, there is news of the sorrow of father Welcome to die we have to go there,” said ujang who told the news of grief.

“Iya Jang, wait a minute I have a guest,” Kuncoro who entered his house again. 

“Excuse me Nak Bagas and Nak Adit, you two you both agree to come with Mr, there are villagers who died. Every villager who dies every male must attend,” Kuncoro said.

“Oh yes Sir, it's okay me and Adit do not mind kok,” said Bagas offered himself.

“Just use my car Sir there,” Bagas offers a ride.

“No need to Bagas anyway his house is not far from here,” 

“Ya already let's go,” take Kuncoro.

“Pak, bang Bagas and Mas Adit be careful on the road,” said Sekar.

“Iya Sekar,” reply Bagas.

The three of them also came out of Kuncoro's house to the late father who had just died.

A few hours later the three of them had arrived at Selamet's father's house.

Seen there the caretaker Mbah Seno has been present before them.

In the village of Kemombong itself there is a strange tradition that does not make sense, before the corpse in the bath, in the cafeteria, the practice in sholatan the body must be ritualized first by the elder there yes that Mbah Seno the Keykeeper.

Mbah Seno has been sitting next to the body and next to the seat of Mbah Seno there is a box made of wood so medium-sized.

And in the right hand Mbah Seno itself there are scissors made of stanless material.

Mbah Seno began to direct the scissors to the face of Mr. Selamat.

Then Mbah Seno took the eyelids of Pak Selamat with his hand and scissors the eyelids of Mr. Seno. 

After getting both eyelids, Mr. Selamet Mbah Seno opened the wooden city he brought and put the eyelids of Mr. Selamet in the swing box. 

Pak Selamatan eyelids stored by Mbah Seno in the wooden box.

The terrible and strange scenery was seen by Bagas and Adit, they did not understand why the ritual of the villagers was so strange and terrible.

‘Crazy, what is Seno doing, what is the purpose of this heretical ritual,' Inner Bagas opposed.
