pancason
69. Go home to Jakarta
Along the way to home stay, they are more silent. Walking in tandem with the view of the garden garden residents made Rea turn his eyes to his left side. He felt ashamed if he had to meet the King. Even when Rea realized that the King occasionally paid attention to him, making Rea even more embarrassed.
"Take what school on campus?" Ask the King to arrive.
"Eh, um ... The law."
"Oh."
"You?"
"Technique."
"Oh."
The conversation felt awkward. The pleasantry questions asked by each other, came to a halt. Occasionally Rea hummed while watching around. Several times they met with the villagers. Sometimes they greet each other. The king also seemed friendly to the local villagers. Rea did not expect that behind the King's cold attitude, the young man turned out to be a polite and friendly person especially to the older people.
"Oh yeah, if you didn't hear me wrong, back in the woods, you said you felt like someone was watching us in the woods?" ask King.
For some reason every sentence that came out of the King's mouth, made Rea surprised, and groggy to answer him.
"Oh yes. Uh, did you hear me say that?"
"Yes, I heard. Because I was near you standing earlier."
"Oh." Rea recalled the situation where she said that in front of Hana. But he had absolutely no recollection of where the King was at that moment.
"So what are you feeling? Or maybe you saw it too?"
"It's not like that. I don't see at all. It was like someone was watching us in the forest. Do you remember that there was a big pile of rocks surrounded by bushes? That's where I feel someone is watching us."
The king was silent while looking thoughtful.
"Ah, but maybe it's just my feeling. Maybe because over the past few days we've come across strange occurrences and been in unpleasant situations."
King smiled. He looked at Rea who was walking beside him. "Well, maybe."
"Eh but ... That was you and that tiger ...." Rea did not continue his sentence. He hesitated to ask that. But the sentence actually made the King glare at the girl.
"What did you say? White tiger?" asked the King to repeat the sentence Rea had said.
"Yes, I saw a white tiger enter your body. At first I heard a noise with a strong wind around the forest. Then not long there was the sound of tigers around us. Suddenly the animal appeared. Surprisingly, no one saw him. Even stranger, he suddenly stands behind you and enters your body. Is that the so-called companion khodam?" rea asked seriously while looking at the nervous looking King.
" khodam escort? How do you know it's like that?"
" i read novels often, and often come across such terms. So is that really khodam's companion? How can he follow you? Then how does it work? Where did you get that from? Is it by certain rituals, or ancestral gifts?" ask Rea with a straight question.
The king stopped his steps. He looked at Rea, then laughed. The King's attitude certainly made Rea confused. For him none of the many questions contained anything funny.
" Why are you laughing!" omel Rea's. He even now dared to hit the King's arm, for the young man before him to stop laughing at him.
"sorry. Excuse me. But your question sounds funny."
"Yes, huh? Which part is funny?" ask Rea curiously.
"All. About your insights on companion khodam. It seems you are too experienced compared to my previous guess."
"Eum, is that it, right? Yes actually my family also includes people who are sensitive to supernatural things like this."
The call of Rea which usually uses Me And You, turns into me, as did the King. I don't know why Rea felt uneasy when he was relaxed in front of the King. And he began to follow the King's custom.
"It is only fair that if you can see Ganendra," the king said and continued on his way.
" Ganendra? So his name is Ganendra? Gosh, great. So he'll show up when you're in trouble like that?"
" Well, it could be like that. But if I called him on purpose. Because the opponent I was facing was quite strong."
"Yesia. I understand." Rea goes back to telling about his family tree. About how his father had been all this time, some disturbance usually came around his house. Whether it's a casual and handy delivery for his family. Rea clearly told those things. The king was silent while listening. But as he looked to the left side, there was an unusual sight and had only been seen at this moment near the girl.
There was a figure of a man with a white headband in tune with the color of his clean white shirt, coupled with the light shining around his body. The same tasbih as the tasbih owned by Rea. The man was slightly older, with a white beard and mustache. Along the way the middle-aged man stood beside Rea. Just shut up, and smiled faintly as the King looked at him.
Until they finally arrived at home. The atmosphere around the homestay was crowded. Middle-aged mothers look in and out of the dish house or tray.
"Yes, you go in there first," the King told him when he saw Rea's friends staring at him from the porch of the house.
"Yes, yes, yes. I go first, yes," said Rea embarrassedly. Then a small run entered the yard of the house.
"heart! Don't run away" cried the King and made Rea turn and smile thinly and slow down his steps.
After making sure Rea had entered the house, the King now looked around. The friendly and pleasant looking face turned serious and a little creepy. He closed his eyes for a moment. Then when his eyes opened, there was black smoke around his village. The King's nose started to snort. He shook the air in front of him as if it smelled really bad.
The king then left the place as if he was going to inspect the whole village. He looked up at the air above him. Black smoke is really evenly distributed throughout the village.
As he reached the edge of the village, which borders the surrounding forest forest, the King stared towards the forbidden forest. At first glance he saw a shadow that had been in front of the forest, hiding behind an acacia tree, and now went out of nowhere.
"Who is he?" the king asked the white tiger who was now standing nearby.
The two of them were both staring towards the forbidden forest.
"Be careful, Amon's men are still hanging around. What we were facing was nothing. It is precisely the person who is now watching us from a distance that we should be aware of. But you take it easy. Because he wouldn't dare leave the nest."
"Why? Isn't the occult fence in the village destroyed?"
"It wasn't because of the magical fence that wasn't in the village, but he couldn't leave his master."
"So he won't leave Amon? And attack us?"
"really. Therefore, he sent his men to harass us all. All he was just observing from a distance."
"What cunning! Then what do you think we should do? Are we just sitting here and waiting for another attack?"
" Of course not. There will be a time when we will attack. But we have to build strength and strategy first. Because he was much stronger than his previous opponents."
"But why did he refuse to go from there?"
"Oh so it is. So he's been orchestrating attacks after attacks as well as the terror that's going on in this region?"
"well, right. But one of the girls from the city seemed to be able to notice her presence," Ganendra said.
The king pulled his lips. "Well, he's also aware of your presence. Even he can see you too." the young man walked out of the place. Ganendra followed the King.
" What did you say? Can he see me? That right? How could? Why didn't I realize it?"
"Well, maybe because you were so excited about fighting. Not realizing around. Ever since you came he knows and can even see you clearly."
"really? Who the hell is he?"
"That's what makes me curious. I also want to know who he is. Because there was an old man who kept following him. She's kind. Because he was looking after the girl. Even if the man wasn't among them, they might not have survived."
"Old man? Which old man? Since yesterday I haven't seen any old men?"
"I just saw him too. Looks like he didn't want to show himself on purpose."
" Why did he show himself in front of you?"
"Eitherway. It could be because he wanted to tell me that he was around that girl."
Ganendra and the King had been close for a long time. Even when the king was a child. The white tiger had been by the King's side since it was born into this world. Ganendra is a companion khodam handed down by the King's ancestors. So familiar King with Ganendra often talk like with his own friends. The king was not shy and embarrassed to tell Ganendra anything. Among all the humans on the face of this earth the King is Only Near and can only trust a Ganendra. Even from the way the King spoke to Ganendra who seemed relaxed made the atmosphere more comfortable.
"What's your plan?" Ganendra asked while looking up at the sky. The black smoke is getting stronger.
" we will remove this black smoke from the village. Because if left later will be thicker and endanger the villagers all."
" All right, let's get started!"
The two of them finally began to get rid of the Black smoke that polluted the air in the village. Slowly the air in the village returned clean without any disturbance as before. Although black smoke can not be seen by the naked eye, for the effects caused very dangerous and can damage the body.
After clearing the air from the black smoke the King returned to the village. Apparently there were already several cars arriving in the village. The king was a little surprised to see the group of Rea stuffing things into the car. I don't know why the King was looking for Rea's whereabouts that he hadn't seen since.
Until finally he heard Rea's voice. The source of the sound was behind the car in front of him. The king looked up to see where the girl was. Eventually Rea was seen. She was already tidy with cleaner and new clothes.
Rea was busy arranging his belongings. He had a conversation with Leni because of the struggle for a place. Though Leni Looks relaxed in response, it is Rea who looks emotional.
" that's it, Re. Just hitching stuff is okay. It's just seneven!" tease Leni while grinning.
"Just hitchhiking stuff you said? Look how much stuff you have! Though yesterday when we leave your stuff is not so much, Len!" omel Rea's.
"This is given by Ms. Kades, also from another mother's mother . Time to be rejected."
Apparently the items that Leni intended, various kinds of plants with pots at all. Of course Rea was upset. He is still reminded of the case of black orchids that Leni brought from the land of Borneo to his home. Which finally makes them all trapped back to Kalimantan to return the orchid flowers. Rea was just the one who did not want any more strange events that would later make them return to that place.
"Eh, King!" pekik Leni who deliberately raised her tone so that Rea was silent and meant nagging.
The king, who had been listening to the debate, pretended to be surprised and approached them.
"Where are you going?"
"Go home" said Leni. He returned to tidy up the pot that was in the trunk of the car. Although Rea glared at him, but Leni did not bother. "Oh yes, when are you coming back to Jakarta? Come with us all. Isn't that right, Re??" leni asked while nudging Rea in a funny manner.
"Eh, eum... yes. when do you return to Jakarta? do you want to be with us?" ask Rea nervously. Not even daring to look the king in the eyes.
King smiled. "Eum, you guys go first. Because there's still business I have to do here."
"Oh so." Rea looked disappointed at the King's reply.
"Why the hell, Raja? let it be a lot." Leni continued to persuade the young man while occasionally glancing towards Rea.
The arrival of the King managed to open Rea's mouth to stop being angry like that. Leni's business deserves a thumbs up.
"No. Thank ye. I still have business here "
" are you in college?" ask Rea
"I'm taking 1 week off."
"Oh so."
"God! How is the discussion not finished yet?" hani asked while screaming in the other car.
There were 3 cars there. All the cars were deliberately rented by them to be able to deliver them to the airport. Their job is done. And they were very anxious to go home.
"Udah. Let's leave. We'll have bad luck!" leni screamed and closed the trunk door and walked while humming into the car. He purposely left Rea and the king there.
" want to go home now?" ask King.
"Yes. I also knew that our invitation would come today. So you still want to be here first, don't want to come with us all back to Jakarta?"
"No, Re. I'm used to going home by myself. So you don't have to worry" said the King, smilingly looking at Rea.
"Oh yes. Hehe."
"Re, the hunt's in!" oceh Leni who looked out of the window.
"Yes, baffles!" omel Rea then looked at the King for a few seconds, then smiled faintly. "Yes, I go first, yeah."
"Okay. heart on the road."
Rea was eventually forced to walk to the car door. But suddenly he turned around, and still saw the king was there. "Can I have your phone number?" rea asked doubtfully.
"Eum, I forgot my phone number. After all, the phone is actually left in the boarding house."
"Oh so, yes already. goodbye," said Rea looked a little disappointed with the King's reply.
The girl got into the car immediately. The car engine was turned on, and they all ended up going home.
