The journey took me hours, until the woman's head leaned against her. Togar slowed down the pace of the vehicle, hoping the clock would stop to keep the woman next to him awake. The request of the grasshopper was only granted briefly by a matter of seconds. Tolu opened his eyes to re-justify his sitting position and continued the mantra in his heart.
They also arrived in front of the house in the form of a classic building. Although the house does not have an upper floor or red pillars. But, the architectural form of a pool of fountains in front of him adds to the impression of luxury. Their car entered the front of the house, the white-haired man as if knowing their arrival immediately consisted of welcoming him.
Grandpa Parman, the father of Mr. Bram smilingly raised a thin mustache towards them. Although he is a century old, he looks fresh fit with his skin that does not look wrinkled. Tolu felt the same aura on the ring Togar was wearing. Now he understood where the ring he disliked came from. Tolu stole a glance towards the fountain pool. He saw a female figure who could be a guardian or perhaps looking for the collision of the humans who have a privileged Javanese date.
“Assalamu’alaikum, my grandfather came to bring my wife Tolu” said Togar.
“Walaikumsalam, welcome my grandkids” replied Parman.
Togar and Tolu kissed the back of his hand. They entered the living room to greet two workers who bowed towards them. They were allowed to sit in a large teak chair. The room is very spacious, unique in the ornamental cabinets in which are composed of various kinds of rare stone rings.
“Tolu, how was the trip over here? Grandpa knows you must be very tired” said Parman noticed.
“I'm fine grandfather, glad to meet you” replied Tolu.
“Hahah, you can be very unique. Look at yourself so awkward with your own grandfather” Parman opened the ornamental closet and took out a ring inside.
“Receive it, if it doesn't fit on your fingers then you can trade it. Take some rings inside here” Parman said.
“Thanks grandpa.”
Tolu felt the ring had a powerful magical thing. Before attaching to the ring finger, Tolu saw an enormous black shadow staring intently at the spilled maggots. He also blows a spell so that the figure does not approach him when he wears the ring. Tolu put a ring on the left middle finger. Parman smiled watching the ring so fit and match the color of his skin.
“Good darling” whispered Togar.
“Tolu, do you like it? You can choose another ring in sana” said Parman.
“Thank you grandfather, I will choose with pleasure” replied Tolu.
...----------------...
At the ritual tables, the dispatches of magic and witchcraft were still spreading in the air. The vengeful shamans who hated Tolu lashed out in a row until they were satisfied with the action.
“The woman is completely immune to science. I've been beating him for seven days in a row. He's still standing as if challenging me!" the anger of one of the shamans.
“I'll keep beating you!”
“I'll make the calculation so you feel the pain of a lifetime!”
Various shaman cries rang out in Tolu's ears. He tirelessly cast a spell in his heart. For him all the attacks he could still withstand after successfully neutralizing the two opposing sciences in his body. He was so grateful to have been unconscious and had internal injuries.
Occasionally the wind slammed the window glass, even flakes of dry leaves rolled in. The servants were busy cleaning, on the other hand Parman took Togar and Tolu to the dining room. The dishes presented look reluctant to make tolu want to eat them. Although on it is available a plate of fried chicken, vegetable stew, tilapia fish sauce, sambal andaliman, soup and raw lalapan. He really has no appetite, his stomach should not be fully filled let alone he is fighting attacks in all directions.
“Togar, excuse me for a minute to the bathroom” whispered Tolu.
“Yes, don't be long” replied Togar smiling.
In the bathroom, Tolu is forced to have his black magic guards spread around every corner of the house to protect him. In any case, he should respect Parman and enjoy a meal together at the dinner table. Behind his pocket was a pile of betel that he had filled in. Tolu took three piles and chewed the magic to the end.
“This is the antidote if the magic goes into my plate” muttered Tolu.
He returned to the dining table, on his plate already filled by Togar. Lunch was accompanied by laughter by Parman. There are things that make Tolu wonder about the figure of Parman which has a mystical aura is very strong. After they finished returning to the living room, Parman asked permission to leave them both. Tolu again approached the ornamental closet, he had to look for an empty stone ring that had no magical power in it. Togar also chose a ring that he liked, a red stone ring he had put on his finger.
“Togar, don't wear that ring!” bentak Tolu snatched the ring and then returned it back inside.
“What's wrong with the ring?” tanya Togar scrunched his forehead.
Tolu chose a white stone ring similar to his own, he attached it to Togar's middle finger and closed the closet door.
“Cabin, sit here. I want us to have the same ring” replied Tolu.
He did not want to explain the matter, shortly after Parman returned with some medium-sized boxes. He gave three boxes to Tolu and one box to Togar.
“This is for you. Grandpa hopes today you stay and wear clothes that are in the box” said parman.
“Thanks grandpa.”
Tolu opened the first box containing clothes, the second box containing custom clothes like the one he was wearing and the third box made him very surprised to look at the old man. Parman nodded as he folded his hands in front of his chest.
“I know for sure you like it. Every now and then you have to hang out with ku” said Parman spreading a smile.
“Grandfather, thank you for all your gifts. But sorry, we have to go home. Next time for sure we will stay” said Tolu lowered his tone.
“Grandfather don't be mad at Tolu. We promise if there is a time it will be longer here” said Togar.
“Yes well, wait a minute. The workers should prepare something for you.”
Parman led them to stand in front of the door, while he sat on the front sofa chair. The release of the granddaughter-in-law with a basket of roses thrown by the workers and a roasted chicken on a tray as a symbol of the affection of the grandfather. They both bent their knees in front of Parman while saluting and kissing the back of his hand. Parman also gave advice to both.
“Pidong siruba-ruba (siruba-ruba bird). Tu pidong ni parsambilan (from parsambilan bird). Sai lam naek ma ulaonmunu (hopefully increase your yield). May mada matua martambah pancarian munu (more and more days increase your sustenance)."
