Pickup Transportation
(Part 45: The Clear End)
After the congregational dawn prayers at Mr. Sukandar's house, Aditia rushed to put all Bening's luggage into his transport car. Ganding leads Bening to enter the angkot.
Alka, Jarni and Hartino are coming home.
Mr. Sukandar and his wife kissed Bening as a temporary farewell sign for much better things. His mother cried a mouthful, Pak Sukandar was not able to hold haru.
“Just relax, Ayi is a good person sir, she will help selflessly. There Bening will meet with children who have the same abilities as Bening. Clear will be a great woman who will later help many people.” Aditia tried to calm down.
“God willing I sincerely, if indeed the presence of Bening in our lives can be useful also for the crowd.” Pak Sukandar hugged his son, Bening looked calm, he seemed to be able to accept everything well, children with special abilities did tend to be more mature than his age.
Aditia and Ganding. They started driving, Ganding and Bening sat in front with Aditia, angkot did have a large space in the driver's section.
“Nding, why the hell Alka can not meet Ayi?” Aditia asked.
“Wah, yes, we met Ayi yes, I have not met the legend Karuhun.”
“Eh, answer first.” Aditia was upset, Ganding even talked about something else.
“Oh yes, so gini Dit, it was the father's envoy who got the mandate to reconcile. He once invited us to meet Ayi, at AKJ.” headquarters
“Kharisma Jagat Academy?”
“Iya.”
“Trus?”
“That father wanted a truce between Ayi and Kak Alka, but Ayi was raging as soon as he saw Kak Alka's face, Ayi was pregnant at that time, maybe baby-congenital too, you know, you don't know, kak Alka's whip was broken, actually whip him it was longer than the current one, but it had been broken by Ayi and at that time his face was half-empty because Ayi attacked mercilessly.”
“Serious, Ayi Mahogra, right?”
“Emang who else in the world nicknamed Ayi besides him?”
“Trus, really cute Alka.”
“Kak Alka always said, that this is a punishment for her. We must not strike back or get angry at Ayi, because the damage made Kak Alka and her father, much larger, lucky Ayi did not kill Kak Alka. Besides, who is able to fight Ayi, we are, just the tip of Ayi's nails when it comes to knowledge perghaiban.”
“Alka's Father? You mean his genie's father?” Aditia asked.
“Iya, his genie's father.”
“Oh, his father still there? How's mom?”
“They were both still there back then, but .. unfortunately he came to Kak Alka, just to join the war.”
“Berwar? Meaning?”
“His father Kak Alka is one of the jinn Karuhun with high science camp... Mudha Praya.” Ganding called his name in a whisper, a name that was very scary to call because it was so evil.
“Mu-mudha who makes crazy rules about Kharisma Jagat's wedding? dad once told me that we are required to marry fellow Kharisma Jagat, but dad said, it is only customary and I have the right to choose my soul mate.”
“Not him who made it, but he who preserves and also compels even do contemptuous activities to support that crazy understanding.” Ganding.
“Then what does it have to do with Ayi who hates Alka?”
“His father Kak Alka one of the Elders of the Mudha Praya camp, he was once excommunicated for having a deviant marriage between jinn and also humans, after Kak Alka was born, his father and mother had to do penance to the elders because of the marriage. Now, in the course of penance, Alka's mother and father gathered as much strength as they could against Ayi. Including recruiting Kak Alka as an army, Kak Alka who at that time was very happy to have been visited by his father, but without looking further, what kind of struggle his father and Mudha Praya caused. We just met you at the time. Alka's sister is often lost, we don't know why, recently we just found out, she was secretly helping her father in the war."
“But it was not Alka's fault for the war, it should have been her father, Alka did not understand it all, she ..” Aditia tried to argue.
“Pramudya Aksara, confidant of Ayi Mahogra, do you know the story?” Ganding asked, while the angkot still continued to walk to the headquarters of the Kharisma Jagat Academy, in the middle of the forest.
“Iya knows, his name is quite famous.”
“His father Kak Alka who helped kill Pramudya Aksara by opening the way of an Elder who brought keris to stab him. Although the initial goal, she said her husband Ayi, but even the wrong target.”
“That means right, wrong father, why Alka who is hostile, kok Ayi not wise anyway!”
“That Dit problem, his father Kak Alka paved the way for the Elder who unsheathed the kris on Malik's husband Ayi, another who tricked many Kharisma Jagat with Janapria's chat, Jagat, love buds intoxicating so that the enemy becomes hallucinating, it is what makes all allies Ayi did not see the Elder was to blow a kris towards Malik, a person who did the chat was .. Kak Alka.”
Aditia is gaping, she is surprised, reluctant to hear the whole story, but she must know.
“Next Nding.”
“So that time was the target, right, Malik tuh her husband Ayi, but blocked by Pramudya Aksara, right, Kak Alka at that time also threw his whip until the feet of Pramudya Aksara bound and his father and an Elder who unsheathed keris could succeed in stabbing Pramudya Aksara. Lucky Kak Alka then ran away when Malik slashed everything he saw, when almost Kak Alka was about to be attacked by Malik, Ayi arrested her husband who was losing control because he saw Pramudya stabbed to protect him.” Ganding took a breath, quite a long story apparently.
Aditia fell silent, of course Ayi would be very angry to see Alka, meaning only Alka managed to escape and was fine after that war, even though everyone who became the enemy of Ayi was crazy and lost strength.
“He said, Brother Alka was released because for the size of the genie he was young, he was judged to not understand the meaning of this war, but the condition is one, he should not show face to Ayi Mahogra, he said, because if Ayi saw him, Ayi would definitely want to finish him off, given how ruthless Kak Alka's father and an Elder stabbed Pramudya Aksara.”
“Easy Alka always tries to help anyone sincerely, apparently she is doing penance.” Aditia says.
“Yes, sometimes I'm afraid, he likes to forget to eat or rest, I know, in his heart he's sorry, he's very angry with himself and his parents, too, but his father was gone Malik, and his mother went mad. Brother Alka just wants one thing right now, help as many people as possible, to treat her guilt.”
Not felt, they have reached the forest door, they will be picked up by someone, no one can enter arbitrarily to the AKJ headquarters, we must be invited and picked up.
“Assalamualaikum Kang, this is me Aditia.” Aditia greets someone sitting on a rock, at first glance she is ordinary, but to the eyes of the special humans, that person is different, there is a shadow that accompanies her.
“Ikut.” The guy wasn't much of a stale base, he just asked Aditia to come along, his car was abandoned, Bening was carried by the guy, once they got into the forest, there was a delman waiting without a coachman, then the journey to the AKJ headquarters began, the man sat in front like a coachman, but the horse even walked without direction or sabetage, he walked like he was used to, he said, the person who picked us up seemed to be one of the guards of the AKJ headquarters.
As soon as it arrived, the forest was dark because the tree was so tight, it suddenly felt bright, the gate was full of golden colored lights, there were many people guarding, for a moment, it was, people and also ‘they’ with various shapes.
Delman entered, after entering they were faced with a field so large, Delman crossed the large field, very beautiful this headquarters, it looks like Ayi made an artificial river on the left of the headquarters, and the, by the river there were a lot of children who were studying, either learning what, because they were not holding books, they were just sitting and staring at someone who looked like a teacher but was very old, he said, not standing straight, but floating.
“Down all, later delivered by mother to the hall, Ayi was waiting.”
They all followed a middle-aged woman into a room called the hall, it turned out that the hall was made up of several long tables like a dining table with benches surrounding it, all made of teak wood, and it was a very small table, Ayi does like teak wood he said the wood is very thick and strong, just like the residents of this headquarters.
“Adit, sit.” Ayi greeted Aditia, Ayi looked pale and skinny once, it seemed like she was facing something heavy.
“Ayi, Brother Malik where?” Aditia asked.
“Sedang no, Adit sat ya, want to eat or drink?” Ayi asked, she looked riled up as Aditia asked about Malik.
“No, Adit only wants to deliver Bening only.”
“Oh this Clear, beautiful sitting here.” Ayi sat at the end of the table, then Ganding and Aditia sat to her left right, Bening stood next to Ayi, Aditia shifted so that Bening sat right beside Ayi.
Ayi held a Bening face.
“Wah locked equally yes, Ayi briefly had a gift.” Ayi Mahogra took out a stone, the stone was red, the fragrance was like a rose.
“Thank you.” Clear received the stone, the stone has been given a rope, so that Bening draped the stone.
“Ayi open yes, but remember, whatever Bening wants, Bening must talk, Ayi will protect Bening, understand?” Ayi said, Bening nodded.
Ayi rubbed Bening's eyes and her entire face, then Bening's eyes turned white all over.
“Assalamualaikum, Queen Harum, I'm the younger brother of King Bapati greeting you.”
“Hmm, why are you here?” The queen grandmother asked.
“Queen is at AKJ headquarters, welcome.” Ayi smiled cunningly.
“You!!!” The Queen's grandmother was angry, but she could not move, her feet were silent, it was because of the stone she was carrying, the stone was the antidote to the evil Karuhun, usually used to control Karuhun's evil lust.
Because it felt heavy, finally Grandma Queen came out of Bening's body, Bening saw it and then fell silent, she was not afraid, apparently there was acceptance, Ayi realized it.
“Know Ratu Harum?” Ayi.
“Queen's grandmother, knew, she said she wanted to take care of Bening.”
“Trus, Bening can?” Ayi asked.
“Iya.”
“You tricked him, you should explain what the purpose of the guard is, you deliberately came when he was so small, he did not understand.”
“That's important he accepts me, so I'm entitled to that guard!” The Queen's grandmother was upset, she sat on the table in a cross-legged manner.
“Bening likes to eat rat carcasses?” Ayi asked.
“No, Clear do not like, disgust.”
“But Grandma Queen likes, if Grandma Queen eats carrion, Bening also have to eat, because Grandma Queen is in the body Bening.” Ayi provokes Bening.
“Shut up You Ayi!” The Queen's grandmother said with annoyance.
“Bening do not like, Grandma Queen do not eat carrion again ya.”
“But Grandma Queen loves maksa, Bening must have forced.”
“Ayi!!” The Fragrant Queen was about to hit Ayi on the head, but could not, as the Commander came out, she roared and warned the Fragrant Queen, touched just a little, torn apart her invisible body.
“We must let Bening choose, you must not force, or you violate the rules Karuhun.” Ayi chose a devious way, it turned out that Abah Wangsa had come first and told Ayi what happened, Ayi is indeed smart.
“I can't stay here! All the jinn are Muslims! I don't want to stay with you!” The Fragrant Queen shouted.
“All it's up to Bening, you know, forcing the humans in my base, which means prison, you know, under the many jinns I hold, you want to go there look around?” Ayi challenges, Queen Harum knows, that let Ayi be younger, but she is an Ayi Mahogra, the Queen of the Charisma Jagat, the people whom Karuhun guards, her Queen Bening, who is a Charisma Jagat as well, then he cannot fight.
“Bening want to stay with Ayi, Ayi scented pandan, Bening likes scented pandan, kayak bean ijo that mom made. Grandma Queen, we stay here huh, Grandma Queen want right?” Clear reign, for Karuhun who has been accepted, following the command is the main.
“You're sneaky!” The Fragrant Queen returned to Bening's body, then Bening was taken by a teacher, she would be taken to her room and introduced to all children who had abilities like her.
“Ayi, is Ayi healthy? Ayi pale once.” Aditia asked.
“Not yet Dit, later when it's time, you and ...,” Ayi stared at Ganding, “and others I will call here, but at this time, keep helping outsiders there, if there is anything to bring here, bring it without hesitation. But later when the time comes, all of you, the five, when I call should be very ready, understand?” Ayi said and left.
There are many dishes at the table, he said Ayi had prepared food, before they came home, Aditia had to eat first with Ganding, but Ayi could not accompany because there was a teaching schedule.
“Dit, if the word Ayi we five, means Kak Alka also?” Banding smiled widely.
“It looks like yes, wow but there will be a big incident let alone this?” Aditia is more riled up than the old grudges of Alka and Ayi.
“Eat first Dit, laper, we have not eaten from morning.”
