Map of 7 Souls: Hikma Andapi
Lie : Ep's. 27


16 Years ago.


Standing tall a young man in the rain in front of a large house. The house is the home of one of the Indigenous Stakeholders in Karangasem Regency Bali. The position of the homeowner is seen from the shape of the house nuanced Balinese customs. Usually with a large house shape and a charming design, only occupied by important people.


The young man in all-black clothes who was holding the staff in his right hand, stood glued, motionless. No matter how much rain falls tonight. The dark night, illuminated by only a few street lights, made the young man's appearance even more mysterious.


He faces angkul - angkul which has beautiful carvings nuanced Balinese customs. His head was down and his eyes were closed. Something was waiting for, but I don't know what. Whether someone or something.


Behind the house, in a room, the young man tried to feel with his sixth sense, the incident that happened in a room that has a Balinese design. Seen in his shadow a woman lying on the bed screamed in pain. Under the straddling legs of the woman, there was an old woman who tried to encourage women who looked young from the face. The old woman continued to say a few words to encourage the woman who was struggling between life and death.


Next to him sat a man holding the right hand of a woman in pain. Looking at his anxious face, he only looked towards the groaning female face before him, not daring to look down, towards the old lady who was waiting for something. The man must be the husband of the wife who will give birth to their first child.


The young woman groaned very loudly. The right hand held her husband's hand while the left hand held tightly to the wood on the edge of the bed.


"The head is out.. set the breath well and push again.", whispered the old woman who wears traditional Balinese clothes.


Her husband tried to wipe the sweat grains as big as corn seeds on his wife's face. He didn't say a word.


The woman nodded hard. Provides a boost from the pelvic muscles and long groans. Not long after the sound of baby crying. The woman drowned in bed. He was still conscious and smiling at the man sitting at the side and still holding his partner's hand.


"You're great. You're okay, right?" ask husband.


The woman only nodded a few times with a weak movement.


The old woman immediately wrapped the already born baby in a cloth that had been provided on the side. He quickly approached his mother. He gave the young woman a cue to kiss the newborn baby.


"Congratulations, baby boy," the old woman was real. He looked once at the man who was still beside his wife.


The young woman, who had been seen cheering on her face, kissed the cloth-wrapped baby's head and was still bleeding. After that, the old woman who handled the delivery from the beginning, gave the baby to an assistant who entered the room after hearing the sound of the baby's crying. His assistant received the baby, carried it and was still near the old woman.


In the next minute, the old woman cuts the umbilical cord of the baby and performs phase 3 labor that is to remove the ari - ari or placenta. Back the old woman gave encouragement to the young woman who had delivered her baby safely.


The old female assistant was cleaning the newborn with a wet cloth after her umbilical cord was cut by her superior. He took a position in the corner of the room. The man who accompanied his wife earlier, participated in seeing the newborn baby.


An old female assistant who was about 30 years old meticulously cleaned the baby's body with a wet cloth. He was amazed by the brilliant white skin of the baby. It was as if there was a glistening gleam visible as she rubbed the half-drenched cloth onto her petite body. The baby squirms and smiles a little. The innocent creature still closed its eyes.


The assistant was stunned for a moment. The baby's father noticed the reaction of the old lady's assistant earlier.


"What's wrong?" ask the man who is the father of the baby.


The woman who was the old woman's assistant turned to the man who was the Baby's father.


"Look. Not just one, but five. Usually newborns do not have moles yet" the assistant explained. Her hands showed some moles that were on the back of the tiny baby's body. His skin looks white and smooth.


Men who are thin and tall, pay close attention to the baby's back. There are 5 moles. 1 on the back of the neck, right on the nape, 2 and 3 are on the left and right shoulders. The right side is lower than the left. The point of the mole is less down than the left, if drawn the line will form an angle of 50 degrees. While the moles to - 4 and 5, are further down again from the 2nd and 3rd points, located on the baby's back. If the five points are drawn a line, then the first to third point will form a triangle and the pointed end of the upper triangle, located on the neck. While the 4th and 5th points will be the tail. The 4th point if drawn line and connected from the 2nd point will be the tail of the left triangle angle and the 5th point if drawn line will be the tail of the right triangle is the 3rd point. It looks like the picture shows an image of a constellation.


The man was stunned. He seemed to have looked at those 5 points, but somewhere, he forgot.


"Have his name, bli?" ask the assistant. His left hand is still cleaning the back and legs of a tiny baby.


"It."


"If you may know, what is the name of this beautiful baby, bli," asked the old lady's assistant again with a small smile.


"Andapi Hikma. Hikma from the Arabic language means wisdom. While Andapi from the Balinese language which means Sky." obviously the man who paras black sweet. His eyes were still fixed towards the 5 points on the baby boy's body.


"Wisdom of Heaven.beautiful name," exclaimed the woman who was the old lady's assistant who was in bed, seeming to have almost finished taking care of the mother of a small and tiny baby.


The baby's father had already got the name of his first child when his wife's gestational age entered 7 months. In the dream he met an old man who was holding a white glowing spear. The old man said that his son would become a great person someday. And the old man also gave this baby a name. She hoped that this baby would give birth to a wise decision in the course of life. Avoid the nature of lies and greed.


The young man who stood for a long time in the middle of the paved road in front of Dapi's house, opened both eyes.


"Finally, another young man has been born to uphold justice. May it be in accordance with the name given."


The young man then jumped and disappeared in the darkness of the night which was still in a state of heavy rain.
