Tourist attractions Hot Water Baths urn, looks crowded tourists. Downstream back and forth into the location almost evenly. The stalls that serve various typical Tegal souvenirs ranging from food, clothing to handicrafts are crowded with local tourists.
Mahmud went directly to the place of purchase of the entrance ticket. From inside the ticket service booth that was limited to hand-sized hollow glass under it a male voice immediately asked the number of tickets to be purchased without looking at it.
"How many people sir?" ask the ticket officer.
"Mmm, seven Kang. One is still a three-year-old boy" replied Mahnud.
The ticket officer immediately counted the ticket paper. While thrusting the ticket through the glass hole the attendant was surprised to see the person who bought it.
"Mahmud???" call the ticket officer.
The man hurried from his seat out to meet Mahmud.
"Surya?!" exclaim Mahmud.
"Yes allaaah.. Sur piye kabare?" continue Mahmud while shaking hands.
"Thank God, Mud. Who's here?" ask Surya.
"That's bringing the troupe. There's a mother, wife and sister-in-law. There," Mahmud replied pointing at Ayu Ning Tyas' mother, Zakiyah, Dewi, Arin, Dede, Kosim and Abah Dul who were standing in front of the entrance.
"Ohhh, yowis, yowis. Don't take a ticket, let's get anter Mud. The time of the sinner entered I had to buy a ticket to, yes ora pantes koyo kui." said Surya.
"I'll take it to my friend to change the ticket, yo." he continued.
Surya is an SD friend and Mahmud's playmate. After graduating from Elementary School Surya continued his schooling in Tegal while Mahmud continued to Pesantren Lirboyo.
This meeting is of course very surprising for both of them because this is the first time to meet again after graduating from Elementary School. When Mahmud married Dewi, Surya could not attend it because it was far away on Java.
Then the two went hand in hand to the group who was standing beside the entrance gate of the tour.
"Assalamualaikum ma'am Ayu," said Surya while kissing the hand of Ayu Ning Tyas' mother.
"Greetings, Loh nak Surya niki, to?" ayu Ning Tyas' mother asked back.
"Jih, ma. Ma'am Ayu is healthy?" ask Surya.
"Alhamdulillah, healthy mother son," replied Ayu Ning Tyas' mother.
Then when Surya greeted Zakiyah, he looked a little surprised.
"It's Zakiyah, huh?" ask Surya.
"Jih, Mas Surya. Surya piye kabare?" ask Zakiyah.
"Thank God, Kiya" replied Surya.
"Well, add ayu bae yo," said Surya.
"That's her husband, isn't it, Kiy?" surya asked by giving a code pointing to Abah Dul.
Got such a sudden question that Zakiyah face instantly blushed red, she looked clumsy and misbehaved. Mahmud looked at the situation he was not wearing on his sister and quickly helped answer her.
"Candidate.." - Mahmud.
Meanwhile Abah Dul who saw the scene of the conversation Zakiyah and Surya suddenly his heart felt faint.
"Uhh, why is this?" abah Dul muttered involuntarily.
Abah Dul's murmur was apparently heard by Kosim, Arin and Dewi who were standing not far from him. The three of them spontaneously looked at Abah Dul.
"Cieeeee... Cieeeee... There is a hot heart" whispered Kosim to Arin and Dewi.
Abah Dul spontaneously covered his own mouth in shock and blushed as his mutterings were heard by Kosim, Arin and Dewi.
Then the three giggled at Abah Dul's expression, making Mahmud, Surya, Zakiyah and Ayu Ning Tyas' mother look at Dewi, Arin, Kosim and Abah Dul.
Luckily Mahmud did not respond too much because the situation was with his old friend. Otherwise, Abah Dul would have been the months of Mahmud's mockery.
Finished the pleasantries with Zakiyah then Surya salami one by one and then told everything to enter the tourist attraction without having to pay.
"Come on, let's go inside." exclaimed Surya.
The attendant guarding the entrance saw Ayu Ning Tyas mother's family immediately welcome him.
"Mother Ayu, Zakiyah, Kang Mahmud come, let's go ahead." said the entrance guard as he greeted one by one.
"Satur nuwun yo, Din.." said Mahmud as he stepped through the door of the iron cross that opened up.
"Mud, I'm back there. Sorry I can't go. Ayu's mother, mariii... Everything, mariiiii." said Surya passed away leaving Mahmud and the family who walked in the attraction.
"Damn, njih... Matur nuwun yo Sur," said Ayu Ning Tyas' mother representing everything.
Mahmud stepped carefully while leading his mother because the road from the entrance of the tour contour decreased and the asphalt was not intact in some parts.
Behind Mahmud and his mother, Zakiyah walked in three rows with Dewi and Arin holding Dede. While Abah Dul and Kosim deliberately slowed down the path so that the distance was not too close because they intended to resume the chatter that was interrupted while in the cemetery earlier.
Not even Abah Dul opened the chat, Kosim suddenly stopped and closed his right ear. Abah Dul also stopped beside Kosim with a look of anxious hope because he knew Kosim was receiving an occult message.
Moments later, Kosim's face turned anxious. Seeing that Abah Dul made more curious and immediately asked.
"What's Sim?!" sergeant Abah Dul saw Kosim take his hand off his ear.
"That means the funeral was related to them?" timpal Abah Dul's.
"It's very possible Bah" Kosim said.
"Yowis don't tell Mahmud, he'll be worried. Now just in case Sim, you take out the self-defense fort so that everything I fortify." said Abah Dul.
They walk around looking around. When passing the Dede bridge whining, his hands pointed at the swimming pool below.
"Mas, Dede asked to go to the pool" Arin told Kosim, looking back.
Mahmud and his mother and Dewi and Zakiyah who were walking the front stopped hearing Arin say that.
"Yowis, all mothers also want to soak their feet, go there," said Ayu Ning Tyas' mother.
Finally, Mahmud and his entourage returned to follow Dede's will. They do not continue to pass the bridge that is characteristic in the attraction of Hot Water Bath urn.
Abah Dul, Kosim and Mahmud sit at a coffee kiosk near a hot spring pool. His point of view was very fitting to keep an eye on Dede, Arin Dewi, Zakiyah and her mother.
Arin seemed happy to accompany Dede playing shower water coming out of the pipes on the edge of the pool. Sememtara Dewi, Zakiyah and her mother sat in the pool to let her feet dangle into the pool.
At the Gusci hot spring, there are many showers that are said to be believed by the surrounding community to cure various skin diseases, such as, scabs, and rheumatism. In addition to the hot spring pool, there are also 10 waterfalls that are quite beautiful.
A few moments passed, the weather from a clear morning slowly dimmed covered by globules of cloud cloud that moved above the tourist attraction of the mountains of Juci.
"Goddess, give me the bath. Muzzling...!" mahmud exclamation among the hustle and bustle of pool visitors.
They also seem to have stopped him. Arin invites Dede into the bathroom to rinse her body. While Dewi, Zakiyah and her mother walked to the place where Mahmud, Kosim and Abah Dul sat down to coffee while waiting for Arin to finish cleaning the body of Dede and himself.
......................
Still on day 20, though,
Finished performing the prayers Magrib congregated, Zakiyah, Dewi and Arin went straight to the kitchen to prepare dinner. While Mahmud, Kosim and Abah Dul immediately went out intending to sit in the side saung behind the house but the third step stopped.
"Sir Mahmud, Nak Kosim and Nak Dul, for a moment." said Ayu Ning Tyas' mother.
A moment the three looked at each other and then sat back in line facing Ayu Ning Tyas' mother.
"Have been a week mother always dreamed.successfully dreamed the same thing," said Ayu Ning Tyas' mother.
Mahmud, Kosim and Abah Dul looked at the middle-aged woman's face with curiosity awaiting the continuation of her words.
"What dream is mom?" ask Mahmud.
"The first time the three of you came, it felt like I saw her in that dream. Mother's feelings like I've been through events all day, so rich is repeated Nak," explained Ayu Ning Tyas' mother.
Mahmud, Kosim and Abah Dul were stunned and curious, Ayu Ning Tyas' mother said, as D'jafu. The three simply fell silent again listening to Ayu Ning Tyas mother's words.
"Before you take something," Ayu Ning Tyas' mother continued.
The woman got up from her seat and stepped into the room. A moment of silence, the three waited for Ayu Ning Tyas' mother to return from her room filled with curiosity. What Ayu Ning Tyas' mother would show them.
Not long after, Ayu Ning Tyas' mother walked out of the room carrying a worn-out brown box the size of a shoe box over her hands.
"In the dream the mother was commanded by a voice to give this," Ayu Ning Tyas' mother explained as she sat in her original place.
"But a minute, son. You want to ask, are Nak Mahmud, Nak Kosim and Nak Dul okay there?" ask Ayu Ning Tyas' mother.
The question was like a bolt of lightning. Mahmud and Abah Dul gasped at each other. Especially Kosim, he was shocked to hear an unexpected question before.
After a moment of silence, Mahmud finally opened his voice after Mahmud turned to Kosim for approval to tell him. Kosim nodded in agreement.
Before Mahmud told him about it, he looked around to make sure he was not heard by Arin and the Goddess. After being felt safe then he also told the question in detail from the beginning of the ritual kosim pesugihan to a series of monkey stealth terror. Kosim just kept his head down, there was a feeling of shame in him that was very.
Right now he feels like the most despicable person in the world who lives among the good people.
After hearing Mahmud's words, Ayu Ning Tyas' mother was stunned as she looked at the bowed Kosim.
"God willing.." murmured Ayu Ning Tyas' mother.
"This is what dreams have meant over the past week. Yes, please Nak opened this box," Ayu Ning Tyas' mother told Mahmud.
The engraved black box looked worn out and had been around for a very long time. Mahmud then opened it slowly with a slightly trembling hand. The box caused a tremor that touched the hearts of Mahmud, Kosim and Abah Dul.
After the box opened, Mahmud, Kosim and Abah Dul gasped in shock at the radiance of the power from the object inside.
"Is this mom..?!" mahmud asked stunned to see three blood-red round stones the size of chicken eggs.
"That's the triple stone Nak, the mustika stone Dragon Kencana" said Ayu Ning Tyas' mother.
The three were stunned to see a red radiance radiating from within the open box. Abah Dul could feel the immense power of the three stones.
"This is your father's legacy, son. In the dream, I was told to give you this stone. You take one each, when the precarious situation combines these three stones will appear Dragon Kencana," explained Ayu Ning Tyas' mother.
With trembling hands Mahmud took a red stone of Dragon mustika then followed Kosim and Abah Dul.
As soon as the stone was in his grasp, the three of them felt a chill whirling creeping through their bodies through the hand that grasped the stone.
"May you be able to resolve your problems. You can only help pray from here, take good care of this Dragon Kencana mustika stone. I know you're good kids." said Ayu Ning Tyas' mother.
