After running for a while, Asrul could see the village before him.
Asrul sat cross-legged by the river to reorganize his breathing, even though the stamina he had was several times that of a young man his age still he was so exhausted after running for a while.
Asrul's view is directed at a house with mixed feelings, he knows that this house will be destroyed in 20 years time.
Asrul looked around him and it turns out that no one was seen, he was not too surprised by this condition because this village is known as the genie headquarters throw away children.
"Hi young man! What are you doing here? Have you lost your way?" a grandfather approached Asrul and asked if Asrul had any purpose in this village.
Asrul knew the grandfather before him. My grandfather, who was about 70 years old, was actually 160 years old. Because of Kanuragan's knowledge, the grandfather looked younger than he really was.
The grandfather was the leader of Padepokan Kun-Billah whom he knew in his previous life. Asrul said nothing and only prostrated himself while kissing the grandfather's hand.
"Well, if you don't want to tell me your purpose here. But at least you're willing to say what your name is?" the grandfather understood that Asrul did not want to say the purpose of his arrival.
"My name is Asrul's grandfather."
"Alright Asrul, come with grandfather." the grandfather grabbed Asrul's shoulder and led him to a lake not far from where they were standing.
Asrul looked at some fishing rod sticks that were on the path to the lake water.
"What are you looking at Asrul? Grandpa who put the fishing line. Many people who fish here say that there are many fish here. But grandpa didn't get anything."
Asrul lifted the fishing line and saw that the hook had no bait. "Waiting to be a hundred years old also will not be able to fish if fishing does not use bait."
"What did you say, young man?" although Asrul said quietly, the grandfather could hear him clearly. Grandpa's five senses were much clearer despite being hundreds of years old.
"Grandfather should use bait to lure that fish." Asrul answered nervously, because it was unexpected that the grandfather heard his words which Asrul thought were impossible to hear by grandfather.
"It is not so Asrul, you say grandfather will get fish after grandfather is a hundred years old. Know Asrul, grandfather's age is now one hundred and sixty years. Where's the fish"
Asrul was shocked again when the grandfather said that he was one hundred and sixty years old.
"Yes grandfather, now grandfather will probably get fish if I help grandfather fishing." then Asrul dug the ground using twigs and took a worm and installed it on a hook.
"Asrul, do you dare to sacrifice another creature to get a fish? Can this action be justified?"
The grandfather tested Asrul's knowledge of life in the world.
Asrul grasped the plot of grandfather's conversation, and replied lightly.
"From the cycle of life is what you say is true. Grandpa didn't talk about the life cycle. Grandpa was talking about sacrifice. You will face a journey that is exactly the philosophy of fishing. Do not sacrifice the weak for your purpose."
Asrul began to think that this grandfather wanted to convey a message through the philosophy of life. Then Asrul began to listen to what the grandfather would do.
"Please tell me grandpa, how to catch fish without sacrificing worms."
The grandfather took a fishing rod that had been worm-fed on his hook. Then the worm was released by grandfather. Then the old man threw a piece of bread into the lake water and the old man threw a hook without worms. Quickly the fishing rod was pulled and there was a fish stuck in the hook.
"What a great grandpa! How could Grandpa do that?" Asrul became interested in being able to do as his grandfather had done.
"Everything has been set. How to avoid going the wrong way. And again, as you have said. If grandfather is a hundred years old then grandfather will get a fish. After you say that, Grandpa got the fish. Grandpa had never had a fish before."
"yeah. New Asrul intends to learn to grandfather to get fish. Turns out grandpa just got it this time."
"Asrul, grandfather knows exactly how old you are now one hundred and twenty years old. You are here, actually, grandfather has been waiting for."
Asrul was surprised not to play with the words of the grandfather. "Accidentally whose grandfather? Why did you know Asrul's identity?"
"Grandfather of the Book of Al Hikam is in your body. You are destined to go back to nineteen because the mission your teacher has given you has not been completed."
Asrul immediately fell prostrate to the grandfather. Now Asrul found a bright spot why he was given a chance to live again.
"Include, Taimiyah's grandfather's name. Grandpa knows your teacher. Isn't Mbah Jena your teacher? Mbah Jena is his only grandfather's student."
"Yes grandfather, it is true that my teacher is Mbah Jena. But Mbah Jena has entrusted me to Gus Mukhlas. So now my teacher is Gus Mukhlas."
"Absolutely. This is your purpose here. You will continue your mission but you will play the role of Gus Mukhlas' bodyguard. You two must save the Book of Al-Hikam that you have stored somewhere. Grandpa was worried that the Book of Al-Hikam would fall into the wrong hands. You destroyed the Book of Al-Hikam in your first life. That's not a success. Now in the second life you must save the Book of Al-Hikam without destroying it, for it is essential for the balance of the world's rotation. With the knowledge you have in your first life, you must ensure the salvation of the Book of Al-Hikam."
"What about Gus Mukhlas grandfather? Did he know about the Book of Al-Hikam and did Gus Mukhlas know that I was returning to the second life?"
"Gus Mukhlas knew nothing of it. Even the Book of Al-Hikam has not been known including Gus Mukhlas. That is why you must escort Gus Mukhlas to obtain the Book of Al-Hikam, but your role is only to guard. This mission only applies to Gus Mukhlas, not you."
"forgive me grandfather, I had no other choice in my first life. So I had to destroy it." Asrul bowed down lamenting regret.
"It's okay, but don't repeat the mistake a second time. The Book is in you and your grandfather. Only the two of us have it."
Taymiyyah does not say that Mbah Jena and his entire family have also understood the content of the Book of Al-Hikam, because the ability depends on each person.
