At night in a village inhabited by Ayu's parents felt very quiet not seen the activities of the villagers there, especially Ayu's parents who had fallen asleep very soundly.

This evening Ayu's father had a dream about his son Ayu. This dream was the same as the dream of Dimas at that time.

Mr. Ayu was in a dark room with a little light illuminating the room.

There was no one in the room but him.

Mr. Ayu was confused he began to walk through the endless room.

From a distance, a person is standing like his son Ayu.

Ayu's father immediately approached someone closer to ascertain whether Ayu's true son.

After arriving it turned out to be true Ayu, her confused child in the room while crying.

“Why are you here Nduk! Let's go home? This place is not good for you Nduk!” take Ayu's father to his son.

He hugged his father and cried.

“Come can't go home sir! Please Ayu, Sir!” he said asking his father for help.

“Come here with the father, let's go home,” said Mr. Ayu while holding Ayu's hand.

Again a shadow approached Ayu and pulled Ayu's hand. 

The shadow figure turned into a woman in a red dress who pulled Ayu's hand.

Ayu's father was still holding Ayu's hand before the woman in red dress came.

“Who are you? What are you doing with my son?” ask Mr. Ayu loudly.

“He's ready to come with me, so he's mine now!” sahut the woman in the red dress with a heavy and loud voice.

“No! He is my son I am entitled,” said Ayu father angrily.

“Ha-ha-ha, you can't take her from me,” said the woman in the red dress attacked Ayu's father.

Ayu was injured in his right hand so that his grip to Ayu was released.

Ayu is taken away quickly by a woman in a red dress disappearing back in the darkness of the night.

“Ayu!” yelled Ayu and woke up.

“That's Mom, I had a dream about Ayu, hopefully this dream is not a terrible sign Mom,” said Ayu father anxiously.

“Iya Sir, hopefully it's just a dream flower sleep alone, we just pray that Ayu is fine there,” his soothing wife.

“But the dream was like real, I was afraid this dream became a bad omen with Ayu, Mom. Tomorrow the day after tomorrow I want to go to our son's place Bu.”

“Iya already Sir, we go there again after Ayu married we have not had time to visit him.”

“Iya Ma'am, let's take a break back.”

They both went on to sleep again.

***

Baskoro is the name of Ayu's father, while his wife is named Lasmi.

Baskoro himself is known in the village as normal people who are quite kind, friendly, and often help villagers who are exposed to mystical things.

But something happened to make Baskoro not want to be paranormal again.

When Ayu was a child, he was often exposed to mystical disorders. What else if Baskoro helps the affected person. Then it will move to Ayu. From there Baskoro pulled himself from the mystical things until now.

The next morning Baskoro was sitting in front of the terrace while eating hot tea and fried cassava, while being accompanied by his wife Lasmi.

The quiet and peaceful life in the village makes Baskoro reluctant to leave the village what else moved to the city.

According to him the city was noisy not suitable for him who likes tranquility.

That morning Baskoro who was eating fried cassava with his wife remembered his dream last night.

“Bu, I still remember the dream last night,” chirps Baskoro while eating his fried cassava.

“Already Sir, don't think too much. May Ayu be fine there,” Lasmi who tries to calm the restless heart of Baskoro.

“Try Ma'am, please bring your HP on the room table. You want to call Ayu and also want to give the news tomorrow after tomorrow you want to visit him.”

“Iya sir wait a minute,” sahut Lasmi rushed to go get a mobile phone.

Lasmi walked to her room to get Baskoro's cell phone. After that she returned to the front porch of her house to give the phone to her husband.

“This is Sir's phone,” 

Baskoro began searching for his son's name in his phone number.

Tut ... Tut ... Phone voice connected.

“Halo Pak”

“Iya, hello Nduk, how are you doing there?” 

“Good sir, musty and mother how is it there?” 

“Alhamdulillah Nduk good, oya Nduk tomorrow the day after I want to Jakarta. Want to go to your house for a long time father has not met you Nduk, I miss you very much.”

“Thank God you and your mom are fine there. Wah Ayu is very happy to hear it later if you have reached the airport phone Ayu ya Pak, let Ayu pick up Mr and Ibu.”

“He Nduk, yes Nduk if you want to go to work. Be careful on the road and greetings the same Dimas your husband.”

“Njeh Sir.”

Baskoro hung up the phone and went back to talking to his wife.

“What said Ayu, Sir?” asked the curious Lasmi.

“Cause is so glad we came, Mom, like there's no problem whatsoever with her. But that dream,” chirps Baskoro.

“Already Sir do not be too remembered,” concluded Lasmi.

“Yes already Mom, I want to go to the rubber garden first. Mumpung hot day,” said Baskoro who rushed to leave Lasmi.

Baskoro daily works in his rubber plantation which he has quite a lot.

There are 20 hectares of rubber plantations he owns, assisted by villagers who work with him.

Baskoro is a fairly well-established person in his village the money he collected when he became a psychic he bought a rubber plantation until it eventually developed into many.

With the results of rubber plantations that Baskoro can send Ayu to college.

Until finally Ayu can work in the company of Mr. Damar then he knew Dimas until finally they were both married.

Baskoro is collecting rubber sap in the container.

Baskoro felt pain in his right hand.

‘What's with my hand, how it feels so sore, ' muttered Baskoro rolling up his long-sleeved shirt.

‘What injury is this? Like a scar?’ baskoro muttered as he remembered.

Baskoro recalled one incident that caused his right hand to be injured.

‘That dream, 'it seems to be a sign that I must be careful, ' Baskoro said.

Baskoro did not care anymore about the dream he went back to work to collect rubber sap that had been given them a chemical liquid to make solid rubber sap.

Starting in the afternoon Baskoro started to return home. 

Baskoro sits on the terrace while enjoying his hot tea.

At that time Lasmi was looking at Baskoro's wound on his right hand.

“What injury is Sir?” Lasmi asked.

“Entah Bu, if you remember that wound from the dream last night?” baskoro Sahut.

“What father dreams to about Ayu?” ask Lasmi.

“Father dreamed in a room without end, there he saw Ayu who was standing sadly. Dad came up to him and invited him to come home but, strangely Ayu said he could not go home. Father took Ayu to invite him home suddenly there was a woman in a red dress who illuminated the father and took Ayu away,” Baskoro who explained to his Wife what about the dream he had last night.

 Lasmi heard that it began to treat the wound that was on Baskoro's hand.

“Hopefully there is no bad thing sir with our son Ayu!” sahut Lasmi while treating Baskoro's hands.

“Mari Pak we eat, mother has cooked vegetables to the tribe of father,” invite Lasmi.

“This must be very good mother's cooking,” praise Baskoro walking towards the dining table.

The two of them walked into the house towards the simple dining table and enjoyed the afternoon dishes that Lasmi had prepared.
