I sat next to Dika. And parallel to Ivan.

"Hmmm...Dika, would you like to change places with me?" ask Satria

"Tidaaak, what the hell" I said.

"Udah sit here loe Sat" call Prasta

Satria finally gave up. He sat next to Prasta.

"Where are we going next?" ask Satria

"We're going to the cemetery" Gusde said

"The tomb?" much

At that moment my feathers goosebumps. I feel something strange is going to happen. I called out to Adhiroksa.

"What's the princess?" ask Adhiraksa

"Adhir .. We're going to the cemetery again. I'm scared" I said

"Simmering princess, the grave you're about to visit is a special one. Believe me, it will be nothing. Unless, if you're not polite" said Adhiraksa

"What do you mean special?" much

"You'll find out once you get there" said Adhiraksa, then disappeared.

I'm still thinking about what kind of place or tomb we're going to. As far as I know there is no tomb in Bali. I am also traumatized by the tomb. After the events in Setra Gondho Mayit. I was afraid of the tomb.

We arrived at Lake Batur.

"Now we go down here, then will continue to cross Lake Batur. Because the village we are going to is across the lake" said Gusde

I then remembered with a unique funeral in Bali. Yes, a special tomb, true what Adhir said. This tomb is a very famous ancient tomb. The sacred tomb for the villagers.

"So we're going to Trunyan?" much

"Yes, right .. " said Mas Arya

We got off the mini bus. Next up the boat. Per person Rp 200,000, of course I pay.

"Breasurer of Atomic and Core Government of UGM, complete" Gusde ordered.

"Siyaaap" I said

After negotiating, we boarded the ship. At first I was afraid, because this was the first time I crossed Lake Batur. Yes, the lake is attached to the story of a thriving society.

"It is fortunate that you are not a descendant of Majapahit, Princess" said Adhiraksa who arrived - suddenly present.

"Emang why?" much

"Yes no papa, it was once Patih Kebo Iwa was one - the one fighter who was difficult to submit Mahapatih Gadjah Mada" said Adhiraksa

"Yes, Kebo Iwa was defeated with a stratagem. That's why I saw a strong warrior. Is that Mahapatih Kebo Iwa?" I asked Adhiraksa.

Adhiraksa looked in the direction I was pointing. He also smiled sweetly. That's the tough fighter.

"Greet us from Medang Kingdom in Poh Ptu" said Adhiraksa, bowing his head.

"Welcome to the princes and crown princesses. Very happy, I was visited by the daughter of the generation of Mataram. I invite you all to cross this Lake Batur" said Patih Kebo Iwa.

I bowed my head and smiled. But this action turned out to make me the center of attention.

"Nara why are you?" ask Prasta

"I'm paying my respects to Mahapatih Kebo Iwa. We're going to cross this lake. So that we must have permission, in order to honor him." I said

"Yes, Patih Kebo Iwa is a great coach. He became the spearhead during the reign of Prabu Sri Astasura Ratna Bumi Banten" said Mas Arya.

We all then say a prayer of salvation. Lake Batur is a large lake in Bali. So we must respect the ruler of the lake.

Lake Batur is a crater lake in Kintamani, Bangli Regency in Bali. The lake is located about 30 km (19 mi) northeast of Ubud. The lake sits within the caldera of an active volcano, Mount Batur, located along the volcanic activity of the Pacific Ring of Fire.

"When, back then when you were in commando education was also parachuted into the sea?" much

"Yes, we were told to swim. Anyway you won't be able to deh." seduced Dika

"Ivan?" much

"Ivan is worse, he's an air special forces" Dika said

We joked together in the boat. There's a little horror. But as long as I'm on Dika's and Ivan's side. Danger that may occur if the boat arrives - arrives at sea. At least they'll save me.

(45 Minutes later).

Bali Tourism Village that we will discuss this time is the tourist village of Trunyan. The location of this village is in Kintamani District, Bangli Regency.

"In addition to its natural beauty that attracts many tourists, this village also comes with a uniqueness. So the uniqueness in question is the uniqueness of the way of burial. Where the villagers are not buried, but with their own procedures arranged according to village customs. This is what then makes many tourists interested in visiting this village. One of them is to see firsthand the uniqueness of the funeral" said Gusde bak tour guide.

"Let's go to the funeral." take Satria.

"Why is this village called Trunyan?" ask Prasta

"The name Trunyan is believed to be derived from the name of the Taru Menyan tree that grows in the village. Taru itself means tree while Menyan means fragrant. The name Taru Menyan is what later became the hallmark of this village. Then over time this village was known as Trunyan which came from the word Taru Menyan" said Mas Arya.

We set foot on the sacred tree. Yes, the fragrant tree. A tree that can absorb the smell of corpses buried beneath it.

I glanced at Dika, Ivan, Prasta, and Satria. My footsteps are heavy. I'm afraid I'll see a lot of occult things.

Degs... Dika immediately grabbed my hand

"Light be me" he said

My memory then floated 10 years ago. When I'm scared. He always held my hand. Yes, Dika's hand grip warms.

"You still remember and know how to calm me down, brother" I said

"I'm sorry, all this time I've been away from you. I want to succeed first." said Dika.

But Satria then walked between us. He separated my hand with Dika.

"You scared?" ask Satria

"No, it's normal." I said, then let go of Satria's hand.

I then walked first and held Dika's arm.

"Hmmm... Who the hell is that guy?" ask Satria

"Little friend Nara, you don't try to approach Nararia. By the time you just broke up with Tamara. He will definitely take it as an impingement" Prasta said

"Alright I understand, I'll just act reasonably. I will try to calm my heart" said Satria

"No, he's mine" said Prasta, then chased after us who had walked first.

I also looked towards Prasta. Only a smile can be thrown. Not long before we arrived at the sacred tree. I looked at that tree.

"Not to be seen" said Dika

I understood that my inner eyes were open when we came home from the temple a few years ago. But he didn't know that I was the daughter of Medang.

"The village's customs govern how to bury the bodies of its citizens. Burials are divided into three types, according to the type of grave (sema) for the three types of death. Residents who die with natural death will be placed under the Taru Menyan tree, at a location called Sema Wayah. Previously the ceremony was carried out in advance for the dead villagers" Gusde said.

We watched the funeral. Yes, the bodies placed in the ancak saji amounted to 11. Even though the body looks rotting. But there was no smell of rot at all. This is the greatness of Taru Menyan. The bodies that could be buried under the tree were only corpses that died naturally. If there is a dead body unnaturally. It cannot be buried under a tree.

"For villagers who died unnaturally like being killed, suicide or accidents will be located in Sema Bantas. Lastly for the villagers who are infants, young children to unmarried adults will be placed on Sema Muda." said Mas Arya

The stench present from the corpse was disguised by the fragrant smell of the Taru Menyan tree where the corpse was laid. The tree is famous for its fragrant smell. The fragrant smell is what then neutralizes the foul odor of the corpse. This is what then makes the corpse placed under this tree does not cause a foul odor.

"The corpse that was placed under the Teru Menyan tree was not simply placed. Instead of being given a bamboo fence around a corpse. The body was also covered with a white cloth. Not to forget the family of the deceased will give offerings around the corpse. Well, so that doesn't mean the body was just placed under the Taru Menyan tree, yes" Gusde said

Yeah, all this time, all I knew was a corpse just lying under a tree. Apparently not, the corpse was made ancak saji as a medium of their graves.

"Then after becoming bones?" ask Prasta

"When the corpse is in the form of bones will be taken to be collected into one. This is to make room for new bodies to be placed under the Taru Menyan tree." said Mas Arya

According to legend, Taru Menyan was the one whose fragrance hypnotized 4 brothers from the Surakarta Palace to wade through the land and sea to arrive at Trunyan Village.

Long story short, the 4 brothers consisted of 4 men and the youngest woman. Upon arrival in Trunyan the eldest brother fell in love with the tree-waiting Goddess. After marriage, become Trunyan a small kingdom. The tree-waiting Goddess is married. Taru Menyan still let out a fragrance.

Due to fear of being attacked from outside because of the smell, the King ordered the people to remove the fragrance by simply putting the body on the ground. This tradition still holds today.

"So it has something to do with Java, huh?" much

"Betul, Bali and Java are brothers" said Gusde

After being satisfied to talk and know the ins and outs of the funeral in Trunyan. We also heard screaming. We panicked, as soon as Dika and Prasta pulled my hand.

This episode is quite yes, thanks for the time.
