"I lived in the residence of Neng Asih at that time, lasting up to several weeks. Until the deep wounds that I feel, have really recovered as before," concluded Ki Sendang Waruk closed his story in front of Hanan and Mang Dirman. "But because the conditions were precarious, I decided to move and re-guerrilla, join the other fighters."

Ki Sendang Waruk was sought by the Dutch on the basis of a report from Ki Bajra. Then in a hurry to leave Asih back, alone living in his hut. 

"Who's Asih, Ki?" tanya Hanan after —lama— listened to the life story of Ki Sendang Waruk and the reason the old man, disappeared, after his father's funeral first.

The old man took a heavy breath. Then replied worriedly, "I myself do not fully know who the woman really is. He's already I consider as my own son." His eyes looked up like he was imagining something. "Yaaa .. count as a substitute for my son whom I have never known his fate and existence to this day."

"Then, where is the woman named Asih now, Ki?" Mang Dirman asked. "Why didn't Aki try to look for him back?"

Ki Sendang Waruk. Staring at the sado coachman of the Sumiarsih Juragan family for a moment, then replied, "I've tried to look for him in the place before, but the hut he occupied, seems to have been empty or abandoned for a long time. I don't know where the woman is now. I still feel like I owe him a favor."

While they were busy talking, suddenly appeared the figure of Sumiarsih Nurse carrying some dishes assisted by Flowers and Ceu Ijah with his drink.

"Sok atuh, ngawangkongna sabari nyaneut," said the old woman who still looks beautiful. "Don't be so serious, atuh. He-he." He glanced for a moment at Ki Sendang Waruk, then offered the man. "Sok, Aki, try the caneut. Still a faneut."

(Come, talk to him while eating. The food was also tried, Aki. The mound is still warm)

"Hatur nohun, Juragan," said Ki Sendang Waruk and immediately replied by Juragan Sumiarsih with a smile. 

(Thank you)

Hanan and Mang Dirman glanced for a moment watching the attitude of the two old men. But now they can understand after listening to the words of Ki Sendang Waruk earlier. 

For some time, the three of them stopped the conversation. Fun to enjoy the food on the plate. While Sumiarsih and other women returned to the house.

"Let them speak in six eyes" Sumiarsih told Bunga. "Here, that's adult male chatter."

"Yes, Mom," Bunga replied with a sweet smile and had turned to his wife, Ki Sendang Waruk.

Then, all of them moved away from where the three men had been, going to gather in the kitchen with Ceu Odah and Ceu Enok.

"Now what do you think, son?" asked Ki Sendang Waruk in the middle of their eating activities, to Hanan. "You're still willing to accept Mr Guus' offer to cooperate?"

For a moment, the young man thought. 

"If according to Aki's story earlier, it seems we can not guess anything, about Mr. Guus' involvement in the events that have befallen the late Father," Hanan replied still doubtful. "We have no evidence or at least at least one witness as a reinforcement material. It's all just a preconception, isn't it? But …."

Mang Dirman and Ki Sendang Waruk looked at each other. Waiting for answers and judgments from the young man, of course.

"If for work problems that are in accordance with my scientific basis, it does not seem to be related to anything," Hanan continued his explanation. "I will continue to accept Mr. Guus' offer to serve in the Medicine Hall of this village, starting tomorrow."

"Hhmmm .. yes, I understand that problem," replied Ki Sendang Waruk. "It's good, because it's your responsibility as a medic, son."

"So tomorrow Aden's on duty, Den?" asked Mang Dirman to speak.

Hanan answered, "God willing, Mang. Hopefully everything is given smoothness."

"Aamiin ..." reply the two old men simultaneously.

Hanan helped pour water into the glass, all for Ki Sendang Waruk and Mang Dirman. "If you trace the story of Aki Endang and Mang Dirman, it feels something that interferes with the business of the plantation of Dad first, not solely done by one person concerned," the young man said, continuing the conversation. 

"I mean Den Hanan, the person in question ... Mr Guus?" tanyanya.

Hanan put his index finger on his lips. "Ssttt ... try not to mention someone's name, let alone .. the person Mamang mentioned just then," he reminded. "The three of us must understand, right?"

Mang Dirman nodded.

"I mean earlier," Hanan added after bringing each of the two old men close to her, "what is Aki and Mamang unsuspecting, if she does so by asking a third party for help?"

"Mystic power you mean?" Ki Sendang Waruk asked just to equate the mind with the young man. 

"Yes, that's right, Den," Mang Dirman said.

"Well, logically .. what pests can choose and sort out, plantation materials belonging to anyone who wants to be disturbed? Right, right?" Hanan looked at the two parents in turn. "In fact, only Dad's plantation was attacked by pests, failed crops, then the workers cut labor relations just like that without a reasonable reason. The series of events, it feels very unlikely if without any element of help from certain parties."

"The shaman meant Aden?" back Mang Dirman asked.

Hanan smiled faintly. "I do not want to mention the term, but it is very closely related to the scientific practices that are often done by these circles," he replied straightforwardly.

Ki Sendang Waruk. He understands the way young people think. Just trying to be careful and vigilant, especially in speaking. Hence, linguistically, Hanan did not want to express it clearly.

"The problem, if it is true, is who helped Mr. Guus in doing the wrongs," Ki Sendang Waruk said also thought hard. "Is it possible that Bajra? Ah, why do my thoughts always point towards that bastard guy? It's been long sought, not once have I known the existence of that bastard!"

"Why Ki Bajra, Ki?" Mang Dirman asked.

Ki Sendang Waruk scratched his head for a while, then replied, "I have handled several times similar to the events experienced by Nak Hanan's father before he died first. People often associate him with the figure of Ki Bajra. It was always him, him, and him. There's nothing else. Hence, I also memorized once with his tyrannical practices."

"Is that so, Ki?" ask Hanan.

"Yes, Son. Unfortunately, I have not found his hiding place after last fighting first in the cemetery of the village," Ki Sendang Waruk said.

Suddenly appeared the figure of Flower in the middle of the chatter of the three men. He said unexpectedly, "What about Nyai Kasambi, Wak? I'm sorry, Neng heard from earlier, no one has mentioned and placed any suspicion on the old woman."

"Dine!" exclaim Ki Sendang Waruk aghast. 

The girl looked at her young face deeply, then continued to say, "It feels .. We should not always cover up our suspicions about the figure of the female shaman, Wak."

Hanan and Mang Dirman simultaneously looked at the two, Bunga and Ki Sendang Waruk.

"What does it mean to cover up?" hanan asked, becoming curious. "So ..Nng and Aki have always been hiding about Nyai Kasambi's involvement as well?"

Ki Sendang Waruk explained. "It's not like that, son. We have long been suspicious of Nyai Kasambi's whereabouts, but so far we have no evidence of her involvement in the events that have passed."

Bunga also recounted the events during the attack received by Juragan Juanda on the incident last night, while glancing at his uwak lyrics that looked fixed.

Timpal Ki Sendang Waruk mediated, "But it was already midnight. The figure that the Flower saw was not so clear. Is it really Nyai Kasambi or not? Yeah, right, Nng?" he asked with a look of caution towards his nephew.

The girl remembered for a moment. "Yaaa .. is not so clear, but from his posture and clothes, Neng thought it could be a—"

"Ah, come on," said Ki Sendang Waruk cutting Flower speech. "We'll save that question. For a while, we focused on Mr. Guus' offer. How, Son?" ask Hanan, just want to divert the conversation.

The young man was confused to answer, between the curiosity with the words of his lover earlier and the cooperation plan offered by Mr. Guus.

"I'll think about it, Ki. It's good indeed we need to be aware of all possibilities," he replied later. "I have other plans myself."

"What plan is that?" tanya Ki Sendang Waruk and Mang Dirman almost simultaneously.

"I want to reopen the abandoned plantation land" he said. "There's already someone who's willing to help as a first step."

"Who?" ask Ki Sendang Waruk curious.

"Kang Juna" Hanan replied.

"Juna? Who's she?" Again the flower wondered.

"He was the one who used to work for Dad," Hanan said again explaining (about Juna, read in section 39). "He said he was ready to help, to reopen the plantation, assisted by former workers from Mr. Guus' plantation first."

"Oh, huh?" Ki Sendang Waruk's eyebrows shot up. 

"Yes, Ki. Actually they were all people who used to work on my father's estate, but for some reason, they moved to Mr. Guus' estate. Until finally, the people one by one got out of there and now .. they've declared ready to get back together with us," said Hanan and immediately greeted with a smile from the two old men in front of him as well as Flowers themselves.

"Alhamdulillah ..." Mang Dirman replied looking cheerful.

"Only, maybe not in the near future," Hanan added back, "because I have to prepare myself to serve in the Medicine Hall first. Tomorrow it starts. God willing."

Ki Sendang Waruk and Mang Dirman simultaneously uttered the word 'Aamiin'.
