My Family's Gift

My Family's Gift
The queen of kenjeran coast


About 3 hours more travel, and the time has shown at 5 pm, we also arrived at Kenjeran beach, Surabya. We were also directly treated to the beautiful sea view, seasoned with the afternoon sky, which seemed to perfect its beauty. But the first thing we had to do was find a hotel, because we were going to spend a night here. When we arrived at a hotel located not far from the beach, I deliberately chose a room with a rather high floor and also facing the sea, although it turns out there is an additional cost for the room facing the sea, but I do not care about it.


"A-H.. Beb.. want to split up or one more room?". I asked


"just one, let's not out cost a lot.


Then just like before, I gave Mas jo the room key for them to rest tonight, and after putting our things in the room, I gave them the key, we both decided to go around looking for a clothing store, because I and Ai both only brought 1 set of change clothes, while mas jo and mas Rido went to the mosque to pray.


Not far from the hotel we stayed there is a clothing store, and also a lot of souvenirs that seem to be intended for tourists. We went inside and looked around, Because I didn't want to spend much time, I immediately picked up a black shirt and a pair of short jeans. While Ai. he still circled around in the shop and like her he had not found what he wanted. I sat near the cashier playing HP while waiting for him, and Ai approached me shortly afterwards..


"this is the same about which bagusan?" ask her.


Looks shirt with long sleeves pink and white shirt without sleeves.


"which is great.


"hmmm the white one.. btw you're done?". he asked.


"now, this is waiting for you.


"sorry yes.. soon kok hehe" he said with a small laugh.


"oia.. please all choose 2 sets of clothes smaa pants for mas jo mas same mas rido yes, they are rich also no change of clothes".


"rogerr.


Then he looked around again, and about 10 minutes later he came back to me.


"yeuk yuk I'm done". he said as he pulled my hand to the cashier.


When I wanted to pay, suddenly Ai said that this time she would pay her, I just nodded and agreed.


After that we both spent quite a long time in a cafe located right on the beach, until it did not feel the time had shown at 9 pm, we decided to return to the hotel.


Once in the room, Ai said she wanted to go to bed early, because she felt tired. Then like yesterday, I just spent time on the front porch of the room, with a view of the night sea, plus the stars are so clearly visible here. With a glass of warm latte, I really enjoyed this quiet time myself.


"Liam". said the elder who suddenly appeared beside me.


"uh..what's the cake?" ask me a little surprised at his appearance.


"Did your mother teach you about body-splitting practices.


"Sports separator? I don't think so".I answered.


"hmmm I think he'll do something about it.


"do you mean grandpa?". I asked.


"no need to think about it" he replied, which disappeared immediately.


What does he really mean?, without really caring about it, I busy myself with playing games on mobile phones while waiting at 12 pm, where I will meet the Queen.


Until it did not feel like the clock was showing at 11:45 pm, I was getting ready to go to the beach, by taking a jacket in the bag, because the air outside was quite cold...


But I just stepped foot out of my bag, suddenly my vision became blurred, and my whole body became so limp.. To the extent that I fell on the floor hard enough, the longer I could not maintain my consciousness... There was Ai's voice calling me, but I couldn't respond.

"oh, descendant of Aira, welcome to my kingdom.


My body was still so limp, I don't know who was speaking in front of me, I still had trouble getting up from the prone position. Slowly I tried to open my eyes, I saw so much white and yellow light, my vision was still so blurred. Slowly returning, I tried to stand up.


"Si..who are you?" I said who still could not see clearly.


"My name is***************************, I am the Queen and King here.


Looks a woman with makeup and blue clothes like a queen in the majapahit era, with pale white skin.


"Queen? you mean you're the Queen of snakes? so you're the one who called me to Kenjeran beach" I said with a vision


"true.. sorry for my disrespect, forcibly summoning your soul from your body.


This is what the elder meant, the reason he asked me about whether I had practiced exercise.


"What is going on with my body right now.


"Your dragon is just falling asleep, I promise to return you safely.


Now I was in a room so big but the contents were so empty.. There was only light like a lamp in every corner of the room, but strange? certainly not from a torch of fire or a Lamp like in my world.


Then he invited me to go out of the room, and to my surprise what I saw now, I saw a house so big in sky blue down there, yes, down there, because it turns out that my place is now in a place so high, and I have to go down the steep and long stairs to get there. When I looked up, I was back in shock.I saw a lot of fish swimming up there, like this place was under the sea.


"Are we in the sea?". asked me who followed him down the stairs.


"may be said like that... Because this is an unseen world, you wouldn't be able to enter here if there wasn't permission from me.


"By the way..may I ask you something?". I asked while carefully stepping on this steep staircase.


"I heard from one of my khadams, that you fought with my grandmother Aira... Then how did she find you.


"He is a very special person, the 3rd human I admit is equal to or stronger than me. He can feel the supernatural energy from such a long distance, and also had hundreds of khadam guards, even some were already included in the demon faction, I also want to not have to hold it with all my abilities... It was a great tragedy at the time. Besides he wanted to take away all my mustika possessions, he also forced me to become one of his khadam vassals... But obviously I rejected it, then we fought in full force for 3 days in this realm.. To the point where, we both realized that this was the limit of our abilities, I could not defeat him, nor did he... Then suddenly he took out Kenjarin's heirloom that made me so shocked, because I had wanted the heirloom for a long time, and like he knew it. Then he offered me an exchange with 17 mustika twins of mine, though I still have a much stronger mustika and I am very sure he knows it".


"I don't know that my grandmother is that great... Then how did she end up being friends?" ask me who is more curious.


"Easy... We acknowledge each other's strengths, plus he has a purpose that makes me so amazed to him.


"purpose? what kind of purpose?". I asked back.


"Sooner or later you'll find out.


So many things that we talked about, until it did not feel until we were in front of the blue house I mentioned earlier, I asked his permission to touch the wall.


"Is this made of glass?". I asked.


"No. It's all made of ice.


"es?. but I don't feel the cold at all.


Hearing my question he just smiled as he walked towards the entrance, I followed him. Then we entered into, the room was so spacious... there is a bench at the end of the room that looks like it is also made of ice... In addition, I also saw a lot of snakes in the corners of the room, which have various colors, such as deep black, black blue, green and brown. Probably more than 200.


"come in. don't be afraid.they are all my slaves.


Then we went to a room next to the bench, and we entered it. There is a large painting in it, and the one pictured in the painting is the Queen herself... in addition, there are many jewelry neatly arranged on a table that is so long at the edge of the room.


"This is where I used to spend time, when your grandmother came here. Meeting you really made me miss her figure". he said while pointing towards the long bench near the window.


"indeed, my grandmother died at an age that can be said not to be old.


"Humans do have a very short life.know what makes you can enjoy a life so short.


"no, but recently I started enjoying my life.


"With that woman named Aiko?".


"uh..how do you know?" ask me back.


"The color I kept watching you during your trip here.


Then he invited me to sit down, and would go for a while to pick something up.. I also just spend time looking at the contents of the room, a lot of stuff that I have never seen before, like a golden cup with a lot of blue stones on the outside, then I saw a sword with a handle and sheath covered with gold, in addition there is a writing of the king in his sword sheath, it is so beautiful. But whether there is an item that so seized my attention, I saw a book that is so thick but for this one is not covered by gold, I saw, but the whole cover is like it is made of leather which when I hold so hard. I tried to open it, but it wasn't open at all. I don't know what the content is, on the front cover there is a Sanskrit writing that I can't read.


"You're curious about the book?" said the queen, who was suddenly beside me


"eh...he I was so curious. and sorry I was sassy to try to open it, but I couldn't open it.


"it's a shame that I couldn't open it either.


"can't you either? then how did you get this book?". I asked curiously.


"I was before her saying, that your grandmother was the 3rd human I admit... And the giver of this book was the second man, he was a religious scholar who was so admired in his day, and he gave this to me as his last memory before he died". answer with my eyes.


"religious expert? you mean like a priest, a monk or a kyai?" ask me confused.


"he was a Muslim and he never wanted to be called kyai or any other title... namely the Guardians".his words that at the same time make me so shocked.


"Guardian? is it possible guardian songo?" ask me to make sure.


"guardian songo? whatisit? like I've heard it somewhere.


"Songo which means 9. and guardian is a term for people who are trusted/assigned... They are the nine who spread Islam on the island of Java.


"ohh so I don't know that, maybe that person is one of them. But I also can't confirm it, because when we talk, it's probably one of them, he almost never told her his life.


"meaning that if my guess is correct, the purpose of him giving you this book is in the hope that one day the Queen will convert to Islam, because like this book is the book of the Quran.


"Liam... Do you believe in God?". The timpal with questions.


"god? I don't know.. I'm just too tired to ask anyone for help... Then what about you.


"me? I don't know anymore.I've had a lot of regrets about humans. Like my slaves, most of them are a gift to me. Like there is no way for me to return.


"i think there's.." I said with a smile back.


After a long debate, the Queen asked me to sit down and give me a small brown chest.


"It's so heavy... What is this?". I asked.


"That's your grandmother's day" she replied as she sat next to me.
