The Underwater Palace
Atmajaya

It took a long time for me to get home, whether what I should say is gratitude or even swear words. I'm even confused comparing which human being isn't, all looking the same now.

Until I got home. I was amazed to see the unexpected. 

'This is my house, right?' my thinking.

A large gate to the right and left of my house, the water around it also looks very clear like glass. I rushed inside the house and walked to the back river.

Sure enough the river water was so clear I could even see what was inside. There are many types of fish, shrimp, and other river biota an infinite number of swimming around the river I like being on top of a large aquarium.

'Is it a lot, is this the resource that the prince meant?' my thinking.

'Is this just my vision?' muttered.

Until he appeared behind me.

“How is the icam here Maya? (why are you here Maya?”

“Bah, banyu nih clear banar (Well, this water is very clear),” I said while looking at the river.

“Clearly come from where? Banyu karuh (curdy) rich is anchored (pronounced) clear.”

Abah's words this time make me sure that only my eyes see it.

Plus I clearly saw the palace. Yeah, that crocodile palace I actually saw it.

The crocodiles were seen passing around the palace, there were only two colors that I saw yellow crocodiles and white crocodiles. 

I assumed that the white one was an albino, as I read in biology books about gene abnormalities.

I continued to watch the gleaming palace decorated with gold from the board that I incandescent, shaped like a traditional house but more magnificent with typical Banjar ornaments. I saw gradually their form changed from crocodile to human with typical royal clothes similar to colossal drama but they wear better.

The entire length of the river stretched that area as well as the palace. The boats do not affect their activity. I just realized this is what is meant by coexisting with otherworldly beings.

I sat on the board while continuing to see various fish passing by even I saw the biases of light but I did not know what it was.

I got out of my seat and went into the house to change clothes. Even when I change clothes I feel uncomfortable because they exist and keep looking at me.

I took a breath and ventured.

“Go there first! I'm changing clothes!” I said while throwing clothes in the corner of the room.

Apparently that way it worked, the figure was lost all the way back when I finished changing clothes.

'Ohh ... They can also be in that I just found out, ' I murmured.

'Maybe next time I should be more polite, ' I thought.

My stigma instantly became changed, I even tried several times like when I wanted to take rice in the kitchen, I saw the figure of kuntilanak standing in the corner of the kitchen he looked at me as I scooped rice onto the plate.

“Handak (mau) right? Well I give you a little,” I said as I scooped the rice onto a small plate and put it in the corner of the floor.

I went inside and sat in front of the TV.

“Even food Handak grab a scarecrow! (everything eat, if you want to take it yourself),” I said offer my food.

I read the prayer and enjoyed my meal while watching TV, until an astral creature suddenly passed in front of me as I ate.

I was flabbergasted to see it because it was disrespectful to make me a little annoyed while nagging me to throw away the food. Because when I was a child my mother taught me that food is already in the steps of people should not be eaten later become ghosts. 

But I think again that stepping over is a ghost not a person. 

'Say uma (mama/mother) if rice is passed on people will die as ghosts, well if the ghost is paced how?' I was alone in the kitchen.

Concepts like this make me a little confused, but the food I already throw away and eat fish.

I went back to grab some food and sat in front of the TV to watch the yellow box cartoon.

'Can I go there again? If you jump into the river, there are two possibilities. Sink or get there, I thought.

Suddenly I remembered the figure of the man from the palace, I did not give him a name. Several times he asked me to give him a name but I didn't care.

After eating and washing my used dishes, I walked on the board and tried something.

I tried to call the man in the palace.

I use the method that I do when anchoring. I patted the water three times and said my name.

“Assalamaicum. I'm Maya Lukita Binti Rahmad calling you who I haven't named yet,”.

I didn't know if it would work or not, because it's just my experiment.

“What's up?” the voice of the man next to me shocked me.

“You ... You really came.”

“You called me so I came.”

“I want to give you a name,”.

“You want a name like what? Korean artist? Indonesian artist? Or how?” my connection.

“Whatever it is if you give me very happy.”

I looked at him looking at his oriental face with narrow eyes and sharp nose, white and sturdy until I decided to give him a name.

“Ken? Kay? Ah ... What about Atmajaya?” my spoken.

“Good looks good,” says.

“Oke means your name Atmajaya which means successful soul,”.

“But I have no soul, I am only a tribe,”.

“Atma in the dictionary I studied means soul, spirit, and soul.”

“If you are a prince or a king it might be better to call you prince Atmajaya or King Atmajaya,” I said with a laugh.

“All right I agree.”

“It looks like your age is enough so you can be like this,” he said.

“What do you mean?”

“Close your eyes for a moment,” the door.

Without hesitation I closed my eyes, I knew what he wanted to do. I could only feel the cold in my eyes and forehead.

“Already, open.”

“I am you apain?” my many.

“Give me a little gift, so that your vision can be controlled.”

“How to use it?”

“Bless in your heart what you want to see then you will see it. But remember one thing never be affected because what you see is not necessarily the real thing.”

“They can fool the eyes and mind of man but not his heart. But if your mind continues to be affected then your heart will be affected. Many people in this world are arrogant with what they can see but, they often forget his heart.”

“Your words are almost the same as my late kakeku. Are you that old?” my many.

“Even I was there before your grandfather,”.
