My Family's Gift
Red Rose Flower Village Part 2

"alright, I will return them, but I have a condition.

"Condition? what kind of conditions?". asked afif.

"i want---..

______________________________________

"I want you to plant a red lotus flower on top of that hill.

"Lottus? where did we find him? and for what?". ask me.

"you can find it, in the south, close to the kingdom of Singursana. and for that reason, I'll tell you you're done planting it.

"Why are you asking them for help? want to put where my face is". said Sukawati.

"Sir.we don't have much choice.

We didn't have time to ask any more, they both drifted away and disappeared behind the big trees across the river.

"Sung-Sung-what was that? rich Korean name.

"Singursana. korea from which, yaudah ayuk.

We who want to go south, must turn, because there is no way we jump aie so high plunge.

"why didn't I just kill ya, let's spit.

"heh. don't just kill or expel the jinn, because it will damage the balance of this world". said afif with breath gasping.

"balance? what do you mean?". I asked confused.

"As you know, each region has its own king or queen, if we expel the jinn who guard or occupy a territory, especially he is an important jinn in the area... then the kingdom or other jinn will scramble to be able to replace it, and if there is a war, it will also have an impact on our world.

"ohhhh I've heard that, my friend once said, if the supernatural world is in turmoil, then there will be a natural disaster in our world.

"yes more or less like that because of the distance of this world and our world, only as thin as a hair.

About 1 hour walk, we also arrived at a supernatural market, and this is not the first time I saw it, so I was not so surprised, as for afif, as for, this is the second time he's seen her.

The atmosphere was quite quiet, I saw many stands from the wooden table, also I saw there were fruits in some stands, such as apples, grapes and oranges. But in some other stands, I also see pieces of the human body, such as hands, fingers or just eyeballs.

They were silent with blank stares, and did not care about us walking in their midst, as we got deeper into the market, he said, I started hearing Gamelan's voice out of nowhere.

After making it out of the market, we found the lake and saw some kuntilanak were drifting back and forth in his atad, some of them looking towards us, but not approaching us. On the other side of the lake, I also saw a giant figure about 3 meters tall, naked and sexless, with dark brown skin and long black hair.

I also circled the Lake, to look for red lotus flowers, but I did not find them, then when we were focusing on looking for lotus flowers on the edges of the lake, and then, the giant walked slowly and approached us.

"What are you doing here?". asked the giant.

"I want to find the red lotus flower.

"red lotus? for what?". she asked while squatting in front of me

"The figure of Jin in the village of red roses asked us to take it.

"ohh sukawati village, so they ask for human help.you will not find the flower in any place like on the edge of this lake son.

"then where can we find him?". asked afif.

"Go to Singursana, not far from here.. Ask him.

We who do not want to waste time, go directly to the residence singarsana, said the giant earlier, his house is behind the forest north not far from here.

About 10 minutes into the forest, we found a gazebo with tiger-shaped wooden features on top. And I saw a handsome young man with high charisma. He was wearing a black traditional Javanese dress which in some parts of his corner was gold, he was standing and staring at the moon, with a prayer beads that he kept swiveling in his left hand.

"sons of adam. are you lost?". she looked at us in such a soft voice.

"no, we didn't get lost.we came here to meet Singursana.

"ohh...there is a need for what you are with me.

"we want to find the red lotus, at Sukawati's request.

"ohh sukawati..why can he ask humans to come here, are you guys threatened by him.

"The red lotus is a symbol of birth or beauty for Hindus.A long time ago there was a man like you who came here, he accidentally entered our nature..

I had a chance to talk to him, he is a Hindu, and is having a duty to spread his religion in Java.

he has a personality that is so gentle, loving, he is also not afraid, if he has to die in this nature, because a lot of jinn who want his soul at that time. For as you know, men who are lost in the unseen realms, like a blessing to the jinn, if you are unlucky, they will eat your soul.

Sukawati accidentally met with her, and for whatever reason, she fell in love with the man, she did various ways to keep the man in order to continue to be here, but I always managed to prevent it.

Until the end, the man I let go back to his realm, but before he left, he asked permission to meet with sukawati, I accompanied him with a sense of worry that something would happen with him later.

When they meet, the human being says only one sentence "the red lotus is true beauty, if you take care of it, then someday, beauty will accompany your path".

After that, the man left this world and returned to his world".

Singursana at length.

"then..what is the ridge, with red lotus and sukawati? why does he want her, and why does he not dare to say it directly to us.

"before that, my kingdom and his kingdom have been fighting for more than 1000 years, but we never really fought, because if it happened, if it happened, we never really fought, we can be sure that we are the victors, but I just don't want war, so we both choose to avoid any friction between the two kingdoms.

The upper region of the mountain is his, while the lower region of the mountain is mine. I am a Muslim, whereas sukawati is a non-religious pagan jinn, like most of his other jinn. It can be said, between us there is absolutely no resemblance to each other.

In short, after his separation from the man, he was still obsessed with it, and he wanted the red lotus, according to the man's last words to him. Unfortunately, the red lotus only grows in my territory, even with a very small amount, even now, I only have 3 flowers left.

But he did not dare to ask me directly, but I would be happy to give it, if he wanted to ask me, but he sent his subordinates several times, of course I refused him, because I wanted him to come here."

singursana said at length.

"hahh, so it turns out that it is only a matter of love, we have to turn around like this.

"hahaha, you may not know, the jinn have feelings that are tens of times more sensitive than humans, so if we love someone, we will continue to love them until the day death picks us up". singursana said with a smile.

"yes. I've heard that from my teacher.

"then what about our request? because we want to save 5 people whose souls they are misguiding, and that red lotus is a condition for freeing them.

"just calm Adam's son. I'll give it to you, but on condition.

"huhh condition again.

"hahaha calm down.the condition is easy, after you plant this red lotus in its place, please read a prayer.

"prayer? what kind of prayer.

Then he told us about a prayer for a form of birth gratitude that comes from his religion, Islam. Afif also responded, because he happened to memorize the prayer.

Suddenly I saw a man emerge from behind a tree, give Singursana a red lotus flower, and then the man disappeared again.

"this is the flower, now go and give my greetings to sukawati.

We also thank him for his kindness to give this flower without any frills, and actually only this time I met the genie as well as the ruler himself, because he was ordinary, and actually, the ruling jinn always had a selfish and haughty nature.

"eh. I was thinking, why don't we take flowers from our nature, we keep bringing them here.

"can't.. the flower will die, because it has a different dimension of life, easy to. like a human who tries to breathe in water.

"hehh I just found out. Then why can we breathe perfectly here? while we come here using our bodies.

"who do we breathe?". said afif with a smile.

I, confused by his words, immediately tried to feel the breath from my nose with my hands, and sure enough, there was no air coming in and out, I was very surprised by this fact, too, because even though I don't feel air being pumped under my nose, I can still feel my lungs pumping air.

"lohh.. but why did you get tired earlier?". I asked.

"the color of humans who have khadam like us, is backed up by our khadam, so our bodies can breathe as in the human realm, even though we are not breathing...". afif is confusing.

"i still don't understand.

"you know, Khadam is like a container for us to use a practice or something like that, because if we use a practice without khadam, our body will not be strong enough to withstand the side effects of the practice, and will make humans crazy.

"i know about that.

"In addition, khadam can also be our link between the two worlds, yes we can say, we are being helped breathe by each of our khadam.
