Traveling to the Unseen Realm
12. Genderuwo On Rambutan Tree

Ranvier went to Daeng Payau's house to be escorted by Tomi by motorbike. Since successfully breaking ties with the supernatural world, since then Ranvier made Daeng Payau as his spiritual advisor.

Daeng Payau does look eccentric when outside the house. He likes to wear out fit that is striking and attracts people's attention. But when at home, Daeng Payau's appearance is inversely proportional to 180°. The man looked simple with his shirt and scabbard.

When he first came to Daeng Payau's house, Ranvier was made agape with his home decorations. The house looks different from other houses because of the roof of the rumbia and wooden walls. It looks simple but actually has a high art value and of course a fantastic price because it is made of good material.

Daeng Payau's house is in a densely populated housing estate. To arrive at Daeng Payau's house, Ranvier had to go through a long winding alley. If you do not observe carefully, Ranvier is sure to get lost there because all the alleys are the same size as almost the same house.

" It feels like coming here alone I won't be able to Bang..," said Ranvier.

" Why is it...? " ask Tomi while looking back.

" There are too many alleys and all the houses at the beginning of the alley have the same color and shape. That's weird Bang.., '" said Ranvier.

Tomi laughed at Ranvier's words. He understood if his master was confused because Ranvier had never entered a densely populated housing as it is now.

During this time Ranvier used to live in a large and luxurious house with friends who also live in an elite housing complex. So when visiting the house of Daeng Payau who lives in a narrow alley, Ranvier was made dizzy.

After going through a long winding alley, they also arrived at Daeng Payau's house. At that time the master of the house was standing in the front garden while facing the tree rambutan leafy lush.

" Assalamualaikum.., "greet Tomi and Ranvier together.

" Alaikumsalam. You came at last, " said Daeng Payau, turning to Ranvier and Tomi.

" I'm sorry Uncle. Ranvier finished his schoolwork before coming here" Tomi said.

" Gapapa, I understand. Let's go in..," Daeng Payau asked as he stepped inside the house.

Tomi and Ranvier followed the host and sat on an antique chair made of palm tree trunks that were plotted.

" Why did Uncle stand in front of the rambutan tree while straddling earlier. Is there something there, Uncle...?" ask Ranvier.

" Oh that. Yeah, there's something there. The rambutan tree dweller asked me to help his wife give birth. But I refused because I am not a midwife." said Daeng Payau.

" What's Maternity, Uncle...?" ranvier's question didn't understand until it made Tomi and Daeng Payau smile.

" The maternity was giving birth to Ranvier..," Tomi said.

" O give birth. And the rambutan tree dwellers whom Uncle means...?" ask Ranvier again.

" They are a couple of husband and wife from the class of subtle creatures, genderuwo to be exact. They inhabited the rambutan tree for a long time, even before I bought this land and built it..," Daeng Payau said casually.

Daeng Payau's relaxed speech actually makes Ranvier and Tomi surprised to look at each other confused. There was fear on both faces. Even at that time the feathers of both also bristled.

" Genderuwo who is hairy and big is Uncle...?" ask Tomi.

" right. Why, are you scared...?" ask Daeng Payau.

Daeng Payau could not help but laugh at the attitude of the two people before him. Moreover, seeing Tomi's attitude that appears like a thug but is afraid of subtle creatures.

" Know laugh at Uncle. We're really scared of this" Ranvier said.

" right. But Uncle can only talk about them this relaxed. Uncle isn't afraid of them...?" ask Tomi.

" The position of man is nobler than that of the subtle, so what is fear for. But when I saw them the first time I was shocked. Just surprised, not scared. It was because they came suddenly and stood behind me. Almost I came out with my ultimate move at that time,." said Daeng Payau.

" What's Uncle's ultimate move...?" ask Ranvier.

" The ultimate move take a thousand steps aka escape Vier..," said Daeng Payau while grinning to make Ranvier and Tomi laugh out loud.

" I don't think Uncle has any fear. It turns out that fear is also the same genderuwo..," said Ranvier in between his laughter.

" Human is Vier. Moreover, this genderuwo figure is very different from the same I have ever seen. This one is just as big and hairy as the others. But the top of the head was bald, half hair, the face was broken, big eyes were red and canines were sticking up upside down with drooling. That's really disgusting. When he shows himself behind me, he grins again. Yes, I'm definitely surprised. But after that it is normal again..," said Daeng Payau.

" Keep genderuwo was angry because Uncle could not help his wife give birth...?" ask Ranvier.

" La. I'll help her get around her house as long as she goes out and seeks other help. When you came, he came too. That's why I invite you here so you don't disturb the person who helped deliver his Wife..," said Daeng Payau.

" So that will help you give birth later Uncle...?!" ranvier asked in disbelief.

" yes. Try to look there..," said Daeng Payau while pointing to the rambutan tree with the tip of his chin.

Ranvier and Tomi saw a blue-clothed woman crouching in front of a rambutan tree. It seems that he is a midwife who practices not far from Daeng Payau's house. The woman was seen taking medical devices out of her bag and doing something, I don't know what.

Ranvier sharpened his vision and saw the woman talking to something. Unknowingly Ranvier stood up and walked towards the door.

" Don't go there Vier.." call Tomi but it's immediately prevented by Daeng Payau.

" Just leave it. Ranvier must learn to recognize them so that he will not be surprised again later," said Daeng Payau.

" But if they get angry and hurt Ranvier how is Uncle...?" ask Tomi worriedly.

" That's the goal..," Daeng Payau said.

" What does Uncle mean...?" tanya Tomi doesn't understand.

" Ranvier came here to study Tom. All things are especially familiar with the subtle creatures that are around him. Because Ranvier's sixth sense is already open, it means that Ranvier will be able to interact with supernatural beings later. But in order to interact well, Ranvier must learn to see and recognize their characters so as not to misstep later. You don't have to worry about Ranvier getting hurt, because I won't let it happen..," Daeng Payau said with a serious face.

Tomi nodded after hearing Daeng Payau's explanation. Now he shifted away as if to give Daeng Payau a chance to watch Ranvier.
