My Family's Gift
Stone Exchange

"two souls, two spirits, three harakats. I will forcibly open one soul, one soul, two harakat".

________________________________________

After saying the sentence, I closed my eyes, as soon as the atmosphere became so quiet, Bima also like her had started her part. I began to feel a chill like I was ambushing my whole body, slowly the oxygen around me slowly disappeared, I began to have difficulty breathing, until....

"Open your eyes". said someone.

I also began to open my eyes slowly, now I was in front of an old temple, there are 2 bells large enough to hang on the front door of the temple. Then the man who called me earlier, he looked like a man in his 50s, with white hair, mustache and beard. He did not have a black dot in his eyes, his eyes were just plain white. He is the guardian of this temple.

"Did you bring the replacement stone.

"of course".I reply was brief.

Then I took out an oval-shaped black stone and showed it, after he saw it, he told me to follow him. We walked through the temple, two women with white hair, no clothes at all, but I never saw the color of their eyes, because they always close their eyes.

The two of them pushed the door of the temple so big to open it, when entering the temple, I saw many candles hanging in the sky, and there are so many paintings on the walls (sorry I am not allowed to explain more details about the painting). And also a long red carpet stretching from the entrance.

At the end of the temple I saw a golden chair with a layer of red skin, I saw a stone that was exactly the same as the one I was carrying in the chair, we approached it.

"Change the stone.

I obeyed his instructions and exchanged the stones I brought with the ones on the chair, after he finished he said not to forget to make up the practice, of course, I already know what he means. After all the process was completed, he again led me to exit the temple, once outside the temple, he did not say a word and just bowed towards me. As if I understood, I sat down cross-legged and closed my eyes again and said.

"3 Harakat, 2 bodies, 2 souls. I invite you to deliver. 2 harakat, 1 body, 1 soul".

Then when I re-opened my eyes, I saw Bima who still did not stop chanting without making a sound, with her hand holding the kriss.

"already bim". I said while patting his feet slowly.

Then he showed me some movements that ended by sheathing the kriss, he immediately held my head just to check if the one who spoke to him at this time was me, or me....

After confirming it, he opened his eyes, and stopped practicing. After a short, exhausting ritual, Bima also tidied up all the devices he brought earlier and put into the black box, then permission for me to go put the box in her house in the backyard.

"tired" .. murmured me as I lay down on the bed.

This is not my first time, I have been doing this since I was 13 years old, and every 3 months in even months in week 3. I always did the stone exchange, which until now I did not understand what the purpose of the exchange ritual was, because every time I asked her to mother, he always said later and later. And about Bima earlier, he was actually not the son of my mother's employee (Side), but the mother told her companion to raise the bima to be her child, she said, to be a companion and also a slave of my family. Every child born and chosen in my family should have a companion like bima and not be able to choose just anyone. Then how do I find her? my family has more knowledge about the level of one's occult, which has been determined from birth, and there are some absolute conditions that must be followed, such as..

Must be born in the same month and year as the family to be accompanied.

Born breech (not necessarily)

Not crying for a moment is born, and still alive.

Has a background of fighter descendants from his ancestors

Oia what about my sister? does he have a companion just like me and does he also have a duty like me?... No. gabe. Because "he" will only choose one of the offspring before him, so like my mother who has 2 offspring, then only 1 will be chosen, and whether by chance or not "he" choose is me.

I didn't realize I was asleep and woke up in the middle of the night, with a face so cute, I got out of the bed and turned on the room lights, I saw him sleeping on the carpet next to the mattress, I built her up and told her to sleep on the bed. After that I went down to the 1st floor to pick up a pack of cigarettes my father used to put in the drawer under the TV, even though I was still in High School I was an active smoker, and my whole family knew about it, but none of them reprimanded me or forbade me to smoke. After that I went to the kitchen to make a glass of warm milk coffee and went straight to the front porch to get some fresh air. Not long before I sat in front, I saw a black sedan car stopping in front of my house, and soon came out a short-haired woman who was none other than my older sister, Kristin's. He used to come home at this hour.

"sleeping bomb?" scold him on me.

"new hustle?" ask me back who refused to answer his question.

"brisik". he said that went straight into the house by slamming the door.

My sister and I have a 4-year age difference, and now she is a 4-meter student, as I said before, my relationship with her is not harmonious, we only greet each other if needed or just to insinuate each other. My brother also has a bad habit in addition to often come home at night, he often had a change of men, sometimes in a month I can see him coming with 3-4 different men, he said, I don't know what the reason is he never brought his own car to his campus, even though he has 2 private cars given by his father.

Not long after that, Bima came to me..

"ga is sleeping? " ask me.

"you must be fighting again with Kristin? ngedumel aja in the house, I so can not sleep, thankfully your father is no longer there.

"let alone.... rich gatau him.

"am Oia... Travel to Bali next week you want to come?" he said while lighting a cigarette.

"tumben nanyain travel... why? you want to go to bali?" ask me back.

"yes gpp anyway, we are every school tour never participated, last time 6th grade Elementary to Bandung, once can be a vacation.what else to Bali.

"maybe".I answered briefly.

Actually, I was lazy to participate in school tours wherever the destination, but because Bima rarely asked me for something, I did not have the heart. Because I have considered her like my twin brother, because we have known each other from childhood and have always been together until now, even though my mother once warned me not to get too close to "Side" but I did not care about it, because I consider Bima like a family compared to my own family.

"oia by the way... about the healing yesterday... would you like to take it?" ask Bima .

"do not do it either". I replied.
