Traveling to the Unseen Realm
110. The Kyai Ranggana

At the appointed time, Ranvier was preparing to go across dimensions. At that time he was 'worshipping' on Grandpa Randu. Erwin who finally knew what Ranvier was facing could only be silent resigned.

" Hurry home. Grandfather is waiting for you here.," Grandpa Randu said in a raucous voice.

" yes. Don't go anywhere, cake. Please wait for me to come home..," said Ranvier while hugging the Grandfather tightly.

For a moment Grandpa Randu and Ranvier hugged each other. After breaking his arms Ranvier turned to look at Erwin.

" I'm going to pick Grandpa I'm going to Win." said Ranvier.

" Yes Vier. God willing I will take care of Grandpa. But the promise to come home is Vier." said Erwin.

" God willing, I'll go home as soon as I can, Win..," said Ranvier.

The two friends hugged each other for a moment. Afterwards Ranvier followed ustadz Rahman and Daeng Payau stepped into the room prepared by Grandpa.

When the door closed, Grandpa Randu fell on the sofa. Krishna and Erwin were shocked and rushed over.

" I'm gapapa. It's just soy sauce because it's standing too long" Grandpa Randu said.

Krisna and Erwin also sighed in relief at Grandpa Randu's words.

Meanwhile, in the room, Ranvier, Ustadz Rahman and Daeng Payau sat facing each other. They talked about everything they should do later. And now they're in the process of crossing into another dimension.

Ranvier closed his eyes while chanting dhikr in his heart. Ustadz Rahman continued to guide him in dhikr while Daeng Payau helped find a way to enter another dimension.

" We get to Vier..," said Daeng Payau when he saw the lake where the child Arcana played with crocodiles first.

" Yes Uncle..," said Ranvier with a fast beating heart.

" We'll keep an eye on you from far away Vier. Go over there. If something happens that you don't want, come back. We are waiting for you here..," Daeng Payau said.

" Yes Uncle..," said Ranvier.

" If you can't pronounce dhikr with your tongue, do it in your heart Vier..," said Ustadz Rahman.

" Good Ustadz. I'm leaving now. Assalamualaikum.., "part of Ranvier.

" Alaikumsalam.., "sahut ustadz Rahman and Daeng Payau together.

Then Ranvier stepped up leaving his two spiritual masters behind. To arrive at Ranvier's destination, you must cross the lake. But Ranvier chose a detour so that he could arrive at the sebrang lake.

When stepping Ranvier no longer look back, because that is the deal.

Ranvier continued to step until he arrived at the edge of the highway. At that time Ranvier passed by the residents. Seeing Ranvier they seemed to smile kindly as if they had known each other.

Ranvier nodded his head in disdain to return their smiles.

Shortly thereafter, a car was driven from the opposite direction. And when the car was right next to Ranvier, it stopped. From inside the car came down a man whose face and stature had not changed, just like Ranvier had met a few years ago.

" Mas Ranvier...!" call Damar with a smile.

" Mr. Damar...?" asked Ranvier doubtfully.

" Yes Mas. How are you...?" asked Damar while shaking Ranvier's hand.

" Thank God be kind..," said Ranvier.

Shortly after Ranvier said his hamdalah, a hot wind blew and it made Damar jerk and then shook his shoulders grimacing.

Realizing his mistake, Ranvier smiled wryly. Damar who understood Ranvier's facial expression only nodded.

" When we go home now. I have been awaited by Kyai Ranggana and his extended family," asked Damar while opening the car door for Ranvier.

" Yes sir..," said Ranvier then entered the car.

After that Damar got into the car and drove the car at medium speed to Kyai Ranggana House.

Along the way Ranvier just mute while staring out the window. He seemed amazed by the beauty of the city that looks far more advanced than a few years ago. But Ranvier slightly frowned because he saw many pennants installed on the side of the highway to the residence Kyai Ranggana.

From a distance Kyai Ranggana house looks visible, also has been beautifully decorated. Ranvier did not expect if he came at the wrong time.

" Gapapa Mas's. He wants a big celebration at Kyai Ranggana's house..," said Damar with a smile.

" Oh that, what big celebration?, a proposal or even a wedding...?" ask Ranvier.

" Both Mas..," said Damar.

" Who is proposed and married...?" asked Ranvier riled.

" Mr Arcana..," said Damar sadly.

" I know Mr. Damar is sad. Didn't you want Arcana to finally get married...?" ranvier asked not to understand.

" When you marry the right person, I'm happy. Unfortunately it is precisely Mama Arcana married to a man who is not wanted by everyone.

" It is not desirable to everyone what does it mean, sir...?" asked Ranvier curiously.

" I'm sorry. It's not my authority to explain everything. We've arrived, please Mas Ranvier go down first.

Reluctantly Ranvier got out of the car. As his feet were tracing the ground, there was a sound of footsteps coming from inside the house. The noise made Ranvier turn his head.

On the porch of the house, Kyai Ranggana and his wife and several other people believed to be family, were seen standing while staring at Ranvier.

" Ran...!" call Kyai Ranggana loud.

" How is Kyai Ranggana. Sorry if I came at a bad time..," said Ranvier while bowing his head in reverence.

Kyai Ranggana smiled then rushed over to Ranvier. Even Kyai Ranggana hugged Ranvier tightly to make Ranvier confused.

" You came at the right time, son. Come inside. We've been waiting for you for a long time" Kyai Ranggana said as she grabbed Ranvier's shoulder and took him inside the house.

Ranvier followed Kyai Ranggana. He also greeted Nyai Ranggana by cupping his palms in front of his chest.

" Welcome back Ranvier..," said Nyai Ranggana as she rubbed Ranvier's head gently.

" Thank you Nyai..," said Ranvier with a smile.

Ranvier was taken into a room that had been decorated beautifully. As if not letting Ranvier too long fascinated with the decoration of the room, Kyai Ranggana immediately spoke seriously.

" Today Arcana is getting married. But no one in our family agrees including Arcana..," Kyai Rangana said to Ranvier's surprise.

" If you don't want to get married why accept the man's proposal...?" ranvier asked not to understand.

" This is to pay the debt..," said Kyai Ranggana.

" What debt...?" asked Ranvier curiously.

For Ranvier it is impossible that Kyai Ranggana has a debt that he cannot pay. If Kyai Ranggana can not pay the debt and can only be paid by marrying Arcana, it means the debt borne is very large.

As if understanding what Ranvier had in mind, Kyai Ranggana explained.

" The man was named Kala. Arcana accidentally killed his future wife. An angry Kala asked Arcana to replace his future wife and marry her, " Kyai Ranggana said sadly.

" Why could Ranggana kill Kala's future wife...?!" ranvier asked in disbelief.

" Arcana accidentally injured Kala's future wife while practicing throwing daggers at the target board. Before she died, she asked Arcana for help. But the panicked Arcana was terrified. And Kala who came immediately took his future wife away just like that," said Nyai Ranggana.

" Why did the woman ask for help ?. There must be something going on. Maybe the woman just ran away from the pursuit of Kala who intends evil on him. And when running it was hit by the Arcana dagger. Then how could Kala demand Arcana to marry her...?" ask Ranvier.

" Kala came with a bunch of people and said that the woman was dead. He is angry and demands Arcana to take responsibility. We have tried every way for Kala to stop his intention but failed. Kala has already announced to everyone that she is getting married to Arcana. We can't refuse because Arcana we are guilty." Kyai Ranggana said.

" I feel like something is awkward. Can I meet Arcana...?" ranvier asked expectantly.

" could. Wait here, Arcana will come out soon.

Ranvier nodded. A moment later Ranvier turned his head when he saw Arcana walking slowly while bowing his head.
