Mystery of Grandma's House
Seven Heirlooms


Today the plan is that me and my Dadik will visit Darto's grandfather. The man who helped me fight the butosengkolo until the demon was seriously injured and ran into the forest. We wanted to meet just to say thank you and also I wanted to learn more about what he said the other day. My gut tells me that this old man has a lot of valuable information.


I walked in big steps before me. Carefully passing through the small path between the rice fields that are still not ready for harvest. It looks like a green carpet stretching for acres. To spoil the eyes of everyone who sees them. This trip is quite fun because it is done during the day although it is a bit cloudy in the distance. Every now and then I slip and fall into the mud of the rice field which is quite soaking up my bones. So did mas Didik who accidentally fell until his face was covered in the mud of the rice field. Making a laugh between the two of us laugh at each other.


The sun is rising just above the crown. A very entertaining trip for me. Until we did not feel we had arrived at an old bamboo hut that looks already reot. In front of him was a long bamboo bench with firewood piled next to it. Although it looks simple but in fact the house of bamboo and wood still looks clean and well maintained.


"Assalamualaikum Mbah" said mas Didik salam. For a moment we waited.


"Waalaikumsalam" a reply came from inside the house. An old geezer with a shabby plain T-shirt with the inscription of a paint factory opened the door.


There are no hinges on the board door that are just made simple. He lifted the door and shifted it so that he could welcome us well. The old man with a whitened beard filled his entire wrinkled face welcoming our arrival with his friendly smile.


"Monggo please come in.." said the friendly.


"Switch the mbah." Answer us both in unison.


"Please sit down, son," he said.


There's no valuables here. There was only a cot with pandan mats on it. There are no chairs or tables, only one shabby mat held here in the designation to welcome his guests. Under the yellow light that was also almost dim, it was inconceivable how the old body was able to single-handedly survive in this kind of condition. Makes me a little bit of a pity to imagine it.


"Please drink first." he said back while carrying a tray with three cups of tea on it.


"I'm sorry Grandpa doesn't have any sugar here. So the tea is a little bit bitter, son." he added with a bitter smile.


"Regih Mbah ndakpapa, ngapunten Mbah, we are here to be troublesome." Didik said he helped put a glass in front of the three of us who had started to sit in a circle.


"So what are you guys coming to Simbah's gubug reot?" Tanya Mbah Darto while taking and rolling tobacco from his black plastic bag.


"Gini Mbah, Didik actually want to ask about the seven heirlooms that Sewah Darto once told." Said Dadik opening the conversation.


"Owalaah. About it. Didn't you waste your love one day? And for you le, it looks like you want to show off with Sewah huh Le? Hehehehe" Mbah Darto said glanced at me sharply.


"Max Waste?" Tanyaku and Mas Didik almost simultaneously.


"Yes clearly to. the heirloom that Sewba entrusted to Didik first Sewah dapet from fighting from one champion to another champion. And it's not easy. The heirloom could choose who he would follow. And Sumpah is lucky to get one. Eh you who are young even have brought three heirlooms at once.kok can ngono you know." Mbah Darto lit his cigarette which was just finished in linting.


"Three heirlooms?" Didik almost couldn't believe it.


Actually I also do not understand the direction of the conversation mas Didik and Mbah Darto so just nod and answer if possible if needed.


"You seem to be confused le.. Have you not understood?" Ask Mbah Darto to me.


"G*block! Hahaha.he brought three of the seven legendary heirlooms of the land of Java but did not know anything. Sakjane you are innocent what a fool to Le.le.." ledek Mbah Darto laughed at me.


"I don't understand Mbah. I beg for guidance" I said, trying not to get hooked. My goal here is to learn about the spiritual.


"Biar Simbahin clear history.then the time of the kingdom in Java is still at odds and war occurs between each other. Long before Islam came into existence, everyone was like an animal. Murder, rape, robbers have become commonplace because for the child wong they have no more protection for him. Even against them they have no power." Said Mbah Darto stopped for a moment to light his cigarette that died because it did not go into suction.


"Until a guardian comes. And make the order of life in the land of Java better. Raden Mas Sunan Wijaya comes at a time when chaos is at its peak. He taught Islam to the people who were already senseless like forest monkeys. He is well known for his power and outstanding fighting ability. He was known from among humans to all the dedemites in the land of Java submissive and afraid of him."


"He was so afraid of the seven heirlooms of his virgin land at that time. Even the kings at that time were quite reluctant to Raden Wijaya. at that time Islam really has penetrated and has developed so rapidly in the land of Java with santri in the hut that he developed has reached thousands of students even santri-santri who have graduated a lot who spread Islam to the more remote areas. At that time, he was also very old. At the age of he was very old that he decided to go up and stay at the foot of Mount Gedhe carrying with him all his relics to accompany him. It is said that it is hereditary if when he ascended at the foot of Mount Gedhe that he experienced moxa. Until finally he and all seven legendary heirlooms of the island of Java also disappeared. Just leave the story by word of mouth." Mbah Darto.


"Semenjak then, many Javanese land champions. From the west end to the east end of the island of Java fight to just get one of the heirlooms belonging to Raden Wijaya long ago. Fight desperately for things you don't necessarily want to have. It seems to know what is good and what is bad. And if it refuses to follow the owner, it can be sure that the person will die of torture. The heirloom is so powerful. In the past people often said that whoever is able to control the seven heirlooms of the land of Java then he will become king in the land of Java. The humans and demons will bow to him. Not even Satan would dare to look him in the face." Imbuh Mbah Darto.


"Then what heirlooms include the seven legendary heirlooms of the land of Java Mbah?" Ask someone who is curious.


"Hmmm. There are two twin Kalimasada swords, two kris nagakembar, the spear Temanten cokromongso, the necklace of Drajatmangkunegaran, and the konde nogogeni stitch. And you've already held three of them." Mbah Darto explained looking at me in surprise.


"And you are called, Mbah willingly handed over this sword of kalimasada to you. Take care of this heirloom. This is a gift for you" explained Mbah Darto this time turned to look at Didik.


"Reward Mbah," replied Didik lowered his head to show the utmost respect.


"And you le, you should immediately learn with your heirloom. It would be the same as regular accessories if you just wear it without being able to use it." Tukas Mbah Darto got up from his seat. We both got up.


"Now you go home, rest. Tomorrow will help as much as possible. But don't expect more. Sumpah is old already can not be as agile as you young children. Beware of Nyai Sumi. He's the konde nogogeni puncture holder. He was able to control a dangerous powerful demon named banaspati! " Said Simbah Darto.
