The Nine Heirlooms Nusantara
Chapter 20 - Sumatra Island 4

After reporting from Asep they decided to swap cars, they moved using box cars commonly used to transport goods.

Sandi, Dika, Deni and Asep leave for Tanjung Bintang - Lampung at one o'clock in the afternoon, their journey is quite smooth, their trip is quite smooth, almost five hours they were in a box car until they finally arrived in the province of Lampung precisely in Bandar Jaya.

There they changed cars again, after performing the magrib prayer, they ate at one of the typical Padang restaurants in the city, they ordered rice Rendang complete with side dishes.

"Buset hot bro in a rich box in the oven, the cave almost mokat said Dika whose breathing began smoothly after almost five hours in the box car."

Moses was unyielding yes, sue tu boy Deni added.

From here our journey is still quite far, about six or seven hours drive, we will not hunt.

****

After eating and praying, they resumed their journey by car.

"At last we can go the human way, said Dika, Asep and Deni are not affected by it, and this is of course a concern for Sandi."

What they experienced, from their auras, all looked different, they looked more radiant and there was no black aura from their bodies, true said pak Jaya they are indeed different said Sandi in the heart.

They all fell asleep in the car.

Not felt they had entered the area of Raja Basa, Lampung province, welcome writing in the city of Bandar Lampung they saw, at exactly 4 am, did not feel Azan morning reverberating, he said, they pray in one of the mosques on the side of the road, the Babussalam mosque, a green building consisting of two floors with a caligarfi pattern further adds to the religious impression.

"Assalammualaikum, Tabik Pun, said one of the mosque administrators."

Waalaikumsalam, I'm sorry sir what's wrong?

"Oh, aren't they Lampung?"

No sir, we happened to be travelers from Jakarta and wanted to go to Tanjung Bintang, said Sandi, we happened to stop for prayer.

"That's a typical greeting of the Lampumg community, meaning what's up, kebetulam today is Friday and there is a blessing friday activity, if the masnya do not mind let's join for breakfast together, introduce me Amir, the manager of the mosque here said the father introduced himself."

Sorry sir if we don't understand the language.

"It's okay - let's still have a lot of food said Mr. Amir."

Finally Sandi decided to have breakfast at the Babussalam mosque.

"It still takes about two hours drive, kebetulqn I will fill the lecture there, if you want the fastest route you can follow me, but only until the market yes, if you want the fastest route, because I filled the lecture on Friday at the mosque not far from the market, said Mr. Amir."

For the fastest route how long sir Deni said, start talking.

Could save an hour of travel, said Mr. Amir again.

"We are lucky to meet the father said Sandi, if you don't mind the father can come with our car, then the return will be ushered in our driver, count - count as a sign of friendship said Mr. Sandi."

No need to hesitate, I did not bother home, many pilgrims are willing to take Mr. Amir added.

After the sarpan they left and Pak Amir told a lot about the Tanjung Bintang area which was overgrown with rubber plantations, it was after the words of Pak Jaya.

After an hour of travel they arrived at the market Tanjung Bintang Pak Amir asked to stop at the market place, while Sandi and the group continued the journey that was getting closer to the destination.

At seven o'clock fifteen they arrived at the house of Mr. Taufik the man who had been waiting for them and would guide them all the way there, pak Taufik is a Lampung native who understands the regional language and will also be their translator.

"Wah has come, even a trick, said Mr. Taufik.

Yes, answered simultaneously by Sandi and the group.

"Wah we can not sir, it was told by the administrator of the mosque in the city, he said, he's the one who brought us here said Sandi and told us a little password and the others were a little clumsy."

Oh, I think it's the language of Lampung said Mr. Taufik with a smile. Later we wait for Ustad Amir, he has Pepadun fiber that I will show you said Mr. Taufik.

Not long after that the awaited came.

'Assalammualaikum, tabik. Said the guest, coming,

Waalaikumsalam, healthy reportedly Yai, said Mr. Amir and looked at Sandi and his entourage.

Where is kiyai Taufik?

Is that Mr Amir?

Mr. Taufik somewhat surprised, already in the know apparently, nyak mak need to introduce again yo, mojong dija Mir, ngupi kah niku, mir?

May be yai, said Mr. Amir who was stared at confused by Sandi and others.

***

I stopped by Kyai Hasan before I came here, I said I want to go to Kiyai Taufik because there are guests who asked to be shown Pepadun fiber and can solve the puzzle, the language I understand but I mean I do not understand said Ustad Amir.

(Note, in the Lampung language kiyai means older brother, not kyai religious leaders or scholars, while Kyai Hasan is one of the saty scholars who are also teachers of the Ustad Amir. Sorry note made in the middle, so that the reader does not fail to understand)

****

No idea you are the one who will break this fiber, said Ustad Amir briefly, the world is indeed narrow, said Ustad Amir with a smile.

The language of Pepadun using a mixed language, namely ancient Lampung and Palawa, for Lampung language I do not matter, but my Palawa language is really blind said Ustad Amir.

"I understand the letters of the palawa words Deni and Asep together.

****

Wah happened to be yes, I feel there is something strange with this fiber, because the Pepadun fiber I brought is different from other pepadun fiber, there is a mixture of Lampung and Java languages, and there is a mixture of Lampung and Javanese, at first glance the writing is almost similar, but I make sure it is not Lampung, and my friend's lata is ancient Palawa, so he does not understand the language, yes you guys just rest first, because it runs out of distance, later after Friday prayers we report first to the local RT and acquaintance with the pilgrims here, and the surrounding residents, I have a lot to show you, especially about the star cave, ustad Amir.

"Stellar Cave, Sandi and the others said as they looked at each other."

Yes, the cave of stars, there is this pepadun fiber found, there are also relics and writings - mixed writing between the Lampung and Java languages, it seems there is something stored there, there, and also the strange aura that gets stronger when the full moon makes the star cave shunned residents around, said Ustad Amir added.

"The Sword of the Moon Goddess, Deni said suddenly speaking, if I'm not mistaken I feel the powerful aura of the Moon Goddess Sword."

Ustad Amir, and Mr. Taufik looked at each other, but they tried to hide the truth, but nothing seemed to be hidden from his guests.

'How do you mean rich Mr. Taufik, a little investigating.'

"Yes there hidden the sword of the moon goddess, I can feel her energy covered in seals Deni was sure."

'Sword Goddess of the Moon yes, sir Taufik just shook his head, alright son, you guys should rest first, later after Friday prayers we talk again, I have to meet someone first, first, said Mr. Taufik and ustad Amir resigned.
