The Unexpected Meeting

Sari crossed dimensions with Gia and her four guards, in an instant they arrived at a vast meadow with a soothing twilight sky.

Sari came down from Kandra's back and smilingly looked at Gia who was chuckling with Bimasena. He chatted with his favorite white maung Sari. 

Gia's crisp laughter melted Sari's heart, flashed the desire to have a daughter like Gia.

"You brought him here?" ask someone from behind.

Sari did not turn around, she recognized the voice. Who else if not Bayu.

"Hmm, he should get acquainted with my guards as well. He needs to know where the guards are," 

"He was special, it was fitting that the old man gave him a guard khodam,"

"Old grandfather?" Sari looked towards Bayu. 

"The seventh round, he was nicknamed King Khodam in the Selikur Lanjaran line" Bayu said, sitting on a large rock.

"Why have I never met him? Is he a descendant of the Siliwangi breed as well?"

"Yes, it's still Cirebon-blooded and indeed a descendant of the Siliwangi breed!" 

"Ooh, I see .. Why are Gia and I different? I suddenly arrived the guards after I grew up," grumbled Sari

"Hey, you've always rejected them, right? Do you remember Mang Aa's bad luck to you first?!" Bayu laughed looking at Sari's envious expression with Gia.

"Yes .. yes, you are right. I never wanted to accept it and it took me a long time to understand it" Sari recalls sadly.

"Everything requires a process to accept things that Nok does not do!" A heavy but soothing voice sounded from behind.

Sari turned her head, a middle-aged man with a face that still left the good looks of his youth. Her hair isn't even all bleached yet. Her skin was so smooth and cleanly glowing. Sari was fascinated to see it.

Grandfather's aura was so soothing, it felt very comfortable for Sari. The grandfather approached Sari and gently patted her shoulder.

"Wilujeng sumping, Ahmad Kaji!" sapa Bayu while bowing respectfully and standing up.

The middle-aged man who was called Kaji Ahmad by Bayu smiled shadyly.

Sari looked at the old grandfather who was now beside her. Smiling, watching Gia. Gia's behavior even made Kaji Ahmad laugh as well as Sari.

"I'm sorry Kaji, I took Gia here. I think he should know where the guards' houses are," Sari tried to open a conversation with Kaji Ahmad.

"No one blames you Nok, it's only natural to introduce who and where his ancestors are,"

"Great events will happen, and the boy will play a role in his family. That's why I brought her here," said Sari again.

Sari looked at Gia with her glittering eyes. A vision seen in the eyes of the unusual. Gia and her family will fight all out to accompany the knight in divination.

Kaji Ahmad sighed and nodded slowly, he understood Sari's thoughts. For a moment Kaji Ahmad closed his eyes.

"Your journey is not easy, Nok, you have to trust yourself. That your power is beyond anything you fear,"

"See, am I going to do this for a lifetime? I mean um …,"

"Your immortality?" Sari nodded

"Is there no way to get back to normal?"

"There is no creation that has no Nok intent. Eternity belongs only to God and all will return to Him,"

"The line of destiny has been arranged so beautifully by the Creator, it all goes in the direction and purpose,"

"Your immortality is a path of destiny that has a specific purpose. Be sincere and believe in the Power and you will find your way back,"

Sari turned her face away, hearing Kaji Ahmad's words made her sad. Meaningful words in a simple way. 

"I have to be sincere? Hmm, it's a little difficult especially if you remember the incident!"

Kaji Ahmad smiled, and patted Sari gently on the shoulder. "You will understand it as your heart softens. Make peace with your soul Nok, and live your life quietly without grudges."

"It looks like it's going to be difficult for Kaji, I still can't forgive!" Sari let out a long sigh of re-sensing the suffering during the past years.

"Clean your heart Nok, do what you need to do and forget everything soon after,"
