MYSTERY OF TWO LODGES
CHAPTER 25 (CONFIDENCE FOR KASWADI)
"Call me Mbah Wo mas only, because in this neighborhood I am known as Mbah Wo" said the old man as he stooped down
Kaswadi walked with the elderly who introduced themselves by the name of Marwoto or Mbah Wo, Mbah Wo then took Kaswadi to his house which was not far from the village mosque.
A village house in general that has a spacious courtyard with the main building in the middle of a spacious courtyard.
Unlike the Kaswadi house in a dense village although both exist in a village as well. But in this village Bs Kaswadi found comfort, especially after seeing the house of Mbah Marwoto Asri.
"Go in mas, do not hesitate" said Mbah Marwoto who saw Kaswadi just standing in the yard of his house clean and shady because there are some big trees that shade his house.
"Why mas, you can see also huh?, let them mas, do not disturb them. They are also creatures of God who need a place to live" said Mbah Marwoto when he saw Kaswadi was looking at something on a large jackfruit tree
"I.iya mbah, i.it b. it is good that the same altar is human" asked Kaswadi stammered with a face of fear
"Ndak papa mas, let's just get into my house. They're the same as us, wouldn't be evil if they weren't disturbed"
We call Marwoto with the name mbah only yes, because the state of him who is old and indeed his physical form is a bit bent, but not with the eyes are still sharp.
"Monggo sit first mas, noon –siang gini until you want to drink hot or cold mas" asked Mbah Marwoto kindly.
"Rerah mbah, just do not bother Mbah" replied Kaswadi
Not long after from behind the mosquito net that separates between the simple living room there is only a set of ancient model seating that comes from woven rattan with the middle room comes out a girl who maybe five years old.
"Lhoo mbah kakung already dataaaang" said the girl while embracing her mbah with great affection
"Hehehe, nduk please tell your mother, ask to make two coffees yes nduk, and then quickly tell your mother" said Mbah Marwoto to a cute little boy who turned out to be his grandson.
"I'm sorry my granddaughter Sarinah is a mas, she is so, every me of the mosque she always embraces me and asks to be stroked in her head"
"Oh yes, there is a problem what until here, eeeeh gini only mas, try to tell me from the beginning only mas" asked Marwoto to Kaswadi
"This is Mbah....." Kaswadi recounted the events from the beginning he took the item until then he dreamed like reality with the arrival of the elderly grandmother who liked to spit it.
"Hmmm, then now Mas Kaswadi is going to do what?" ask Mbah Wo after Kaswadi finished telling the story.
This time Mbah Wo asked Kaswadi with a serious face and with sharp eyes that looked at Kaswadi who was now frightened.
"I have to look for that thing Mbah" replied Kaswadi briefly
"The dream is that you have found, then what will you do mas" asked Mbah Wo in a firm and quiet voice
"I will return it to its place" replied Kaswadi hesitantly
"Where did you return it? Isn't the house where you took the thing torn down and flat on the ground?" mbah Wo said in a firm voice
Not long after a woman who may be in her thirties entered the living room with two cups of coffee, she did not come to chat, she just put a cup filled with coffee wedang, he said, then he left the living room.
"That was Sarinah mas's mother, let's drink slowly coffee mas"
Kaswadi at that time was confused by the question Mbah Wo, it is true Mbah Wo , if the object has been found, then it will be applied? Not the house and the ground where he found it was now destroyed and flattened.
"I don't know how, I have to. Because of this problem, my family was always followed by a black supernatural being and always stood in the bedroom"
"Yes ordinary, mbah, there is no such thing as this Mbah" replied Kaswadi puzzled
"Well, this is all because of your own actions, right, so your family took it, right, then you were also visited by an old woman who likes to spit, even you almost died too, right?"
"So the conclusion of what you should do in the near future mas" asked Mbah Wo
Marwoto's question from earlier was difficult to answer, because in this case Marwoto was also confused about what to do with this man named Kaswadi.
Marwoto also seems not to want to be involved again with the terrible problem, now he already has a child from his marriage with Suparmi named SUHARTO, which stands for Suparmi and Marwoto.
It should be abbreviated SUMARTO is not SUHARTO, but it is possible that the name has meaning for them. And they like to name who their child is.
Moreover, he now has a grandson from Suharto's marriage with the girl from this village as well, the point is that Marwoto is now living a happy life, and he already does not want to get involved in the matter.
Kaswadi could not answer Marwoto's question about what to do in the near future, because he himself did not know where to start.
"Hmm let's put it this way mas, you just go to the house that is in your dream, the house is in the area of Gebang, if from here to the fork you turn to the right, the road goes up there" Marwoto said
"I'm sorry for this, I can't help you, I have a family, I have children, a daughter-in-law, and grandchildren, even though my wife is dead, and I don't want that horrible thing to happen to my family"
"If in my opinion, you just try to go there, to the white house. God willing you'll be there to meet the right people"
"The sooner you get there, the better, frankly, maybe if I were young, I would help this mas, but sorry for now maybe the most appropriate clue is to go to the house first"
"The house used to be called a white house, and maybe now it's empty, but I'm sure there you'll meet people who will help"
"Okay, I will go there to see the house in my dream"
After spending his coffee, then Kaswadi resigned to go to the white house in accordance with the manuhan mbak Wo or mbah Marwoto.
What Marwoto did was right, because her job should have been done decades ago, with the birth of Suharto and finally with what Suharto has made the two unseen areas belonging to Mak Nyat Mani and Soebroto can be united.
Whereas what is now happening is purely due to Kaswadi's mistakes and omissions, so he alone must complete his , not necessarily involve others.
In front of the gate of the village Kaswadi is waiting for a transport that will take him to Gebang again.he looks at his watch to find out what time it is now, because the trip he may take a long time.
Not long after, there is an angkot that runs from this village to Gebang, Kaswadi must immediately take the angkot or he will walk to Gebang.
*****
After a while later, the angkot arrived at the Gebang T-junction, from here Kaswadi had to go up, if said residents here to reach the top could use Ojek or walk.
Because the cost of the ojek is too expensive after Kaswadi asked several ojek that go there, it was decided he would walk to the white house.
Kaswadi was still confused about what he would do in the white house, but he believed in the words of Mbah Wo, that there would be people who would petrify him there.
"Ugh hot and the climb is quite steep this road, where it is quiet again here" complained Kaswadi who was on his way to the white house
Hehehe he just walk once from the fork to the white house alone already moaning, he has not felt his predecessor who had to go back and forth from the white house to the hospital or to the next village.
