After Abah Dul recounted his spiritual journey, suddenly a greeting was heard from outside the house.
“Assalamualaikum..”
“Wa ‘alaikum greetings..” sahut Mahmud and Abah Dul together.
“That Gus Aaron came Mud,” followed Abah Dul.
Mahmud hurried to open the door, accompanied by Abah Dul and Kosim with an invisible form behind him.
Kreeeteekk...
On the front porch of a young man with shoulder-length hair wearing black kopyah, appears to be sitting selonjoran leaning on the pole of the house.
Beside him lay a black backpack and a bottle of medium-sized mineral water.
“Alhamdulilah, Gus same who?” Abah Dul said as soon as he saw Gus Aaron.
“Loh kok sitting on Gus terrace, monggo monggo in..” timpal Mahmud.
Gus Aaron who was sitting on the terrace with a tired face was a little surprised to hear the greeting of Abah Dul and Mahmud.
Gus Harun's face looks very tired after a long journey that takes up to 15 hours.
Although departing from his residence at around 6 am, but the journey to the terminal to take the bus itself takes 2 hours.
So if calculated time distance from Banten to the residence of Mahmud counted 15 hours already including calculating congestion on the road.
“Alhamdulillah herself Dul, kang Mahmud,” replied Gus Harun then the three shook hands.
"Cosm?!" Gus Aaron gasped to see Kosim's figure seen behind Abah Dul and Mahmud.
"Jih Gus," said Kosim briefly.
"Let's go in.." take Mahmud.
Mahmud rushed to help bring a large backpack lying on the porch next to Gus Harun.
“Already, it is okay kang Mahmud, do not need repotin,” sergeant Gus Harun when Mahmud wants to lift his backpack.
“Let's Gus, not ngerepotin kok,” Mahmud insisted keep carrying a backpack inside.
Then the three of them sat down on the space chair. The night is still not late, the wall clock has shown at 10 p.m.
“Gus punten, what would you like to drink?” mahmud asked shortly after Gus Aaron sat down.
“Mm, no ice no kang?” Gus Aaron asked.
“If ice is never available, there is a water refrigerator Gus,” replied Mahmud with a knotty smile.
“Oh, yes it's okay kang. Hatur nuwun njih,” said Gus Harun.
“Njih, njih Gus, boten napa-napa,” reply Mahmud then passed from the living room.
After Mahmud was not seen coming inside, Gus Harun only realized there was something different from Abah Dul.
At first Gus Harun only glanced at him at a glance because he felt a powerful aura emanating from Abah Dul's body, but he was so curious he was clearly staring carefully.
“What the heck Gus, rich see Salamah aja,” seloroh Abah Dul who realized in the face of Gus Aaron.
“Hahaha... Dul, Dul You still want the same Salamah, hahahaha.” the laughter of Gus Aaron blurted filled the living room.
“Ya inget is Gus, it is my wong who is single-langin. Who makes my letter, who also nganterin me, how can I forget, hahahaha..” kelakar Abah Dul.
For a moment Gus Aaron distracted himself about the aura. He was chuckled by Abah Dul's clumsiness which reminded him of his time in the pesantren.
“Why the hell Gus, noticed me so?” abah Dul asked after Gus Aaron's laughter stopped.
“Ane see, there is a different from you,” said Gus Aaron.
Gus Harun's remark recalled the same remark coming out of Mahmud earlier. Actually, he himself did not pay much attention to the difference in himself as expressed Mahmud and Gus Aaron.
“What's different Gus?” ask Abah Dul.
“Aura you are stronger than ever. Surely you get a test of spiritual travel yes,” said Gus Harun.
The face of Abah Dul suddenly gasped, the alleged friend of his pesantren alumni did not miss at all. Abah Dul was really amazed by his incredible sensitivity.
Even though Abah Dul had known about the spiritual talent of Gus Harun for a long time, but only now did he really believe in it completely.
If in the past while in the pesantren, Gus Harun's sensitive talent only considered as a joke with two other friends, Basyari and Baharudin.
Abah Dul remembered the one that Gus Harun expressed at that time.
“Dul, ane see your aura is now green, you again demen who the hell?” seloroh Gus Harun in the hutkan room.
At that time Abah Dul was surprised by Gus Harun's words. Because it cannot be denied, indeed at that time he was liking one of the princess santri.
But because he was embarrassed, he only joked, “Sok tau you, rich shaman, hahahaha.”.
And Gus Harun's remark about that aura reappeared at this moment. And this time he really believes fully that it is a spiritual talent that Gus Aaron has.
Not only that, Gus Aaron often reveals what he feels and sees, just to remind his friends.
Abah Dul did not answer yet, Mahmud appeared with 1 bottle of cold water and a glass of water that had been filled above the tray.
“Waah, what's the chat? I think very exciting,” between Mahmud while putting drinks in front of Gus Harun.
“This is Mud, Gus Harun nanya kayak you earlier. He said there is something different,” said Abah Dul.
“Lah, yes Yes Gus. I feel there's something like that, isn't it Gus?” Mahmud.
“True kang, wah, wah... you also kang has increased rapidly, there has been a lot of progress now..” said Gus Harun.
“Ah, which is true anyway Gus?” sergeant Mahmud.
“Well, it's really true. Ane has not had time to express that, uh hunt him first.”.
"Yes right mas, I also see it," interrupted Kosim who from the beginning just silently pay attention.
Finally Abah Dul again recounted while undergoing his spiritual journey to Gus Aaron after Gus Aaron urged him.
Mahmud went back to the same story that Abah Dul had told. Gus Aaron looked like the mangosteen was impressed by the story.
After a lot of conversation, it did not feel the time had shown at 12 pm.
“Ya already Mud, ane pamit go home first. And Gus Harun to rest at home aja aja yes,” said Abah Dul.
"O yeah, Sim you're okay here, right?" continue Abah Dul.
"Yes Bah" said Kosim.
“Oh, yes then,” reply Mahmud.
Abah Dul and Gus Aaron came out of Mahmud's house. The atmosphere of the night outside increasingly looks bright by the yellowish-brass bias bright moon ahead of the full moon.
After the death of Gus Harun and Abah Dul, without realizing by Mahmud and Kosim there is a black shadow hiding behind a mango tree beside Mahmud's house.
Seeing Abah Dul and Gus Aaron leaving Mahmud's house, the shadowy figure in black smirked happily.
"Hmmm, great! a good! hahaha.." murmured the black shadow figure.
