Traveling to the Unseen Realm
162. Ganesh's Request

In another dimension, Ranvier was sitting staring at a large sheet of paper in front of him. He was in a tent made of animal skin. Ranvier had just successfully led an expulsion of people who wanted to occupy Kyai Ranggana's territory.

Ranvier raised his face when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching the tent.

" Mr. Damar...!" call Ranvier loud.

" Yes, it's me. How can you guess exactly who came here Mas Ranvier...?" ask Damar .

" When I've been here I've been used to hearing voices without being. And I began memorizing your footsteps so that I would not be fooled..," said Ranvier with a smile.

" After all this is over, can we still be with Mas...?" ask Damar.

" Maybe you can't..," said Ranvier.

" Why ?. Don't you like to see me...?" ask Damar disappointed.

" It's not like that. I love interacting with Mr. Damar and all the good people who are here. But to stay and settle down again like this is hard. I have a new responsibility now that is Nada. She's My Wife. I married her by making a promise before God. I do not want God to be angry because I have neglected my wife. In addition, I have said that this is the last time I came here and Kyai Ranggana also agreed.

When Ranvier mentioned the name of Allah, the ground on which they stood felt trembling to make Damar's body stagger and almost fall. Ranvier smiled at her.

During Ranvier's stay there, Damar and everyone else had to get used to the vibrations of the ground they were treading. It happened when Ranvier was performing five prayers.

Everyone there was forced to agree to Ranvier's request as a condition for Ranvier to help them.

Five months ago Damar came to pick up Ranvier in the hotel room where Ranvier and Nada were staying. Damar came with a body full of wounds and it surprised Ranvier.

" Why is Mr. Damar hurt like this?, what happened...? " asked Ranvier at that moment.

" Please Mas. Help Us." said Damar at that time.

" We ?. What happened, Mr. Damar...?!" ask Ranvier.

" We were attacked. Kyai Ranggana is overwhelmed to face them alone as Ganesh is caught. Especially now that Arcana is pregnant and not likely to help us. Kyai Ranggana also did not want to harm his grandson by going to pick up Ganesh and leave Arcana..," said Damar while grimacing with pain.

" Who are they...?" ask Ranvier.

" We don't know either. It was all too sudden and unexpected. Kyai Ranggana sent me here to ask for your help specifically. Here's the proof" Damar said, showing an object belonging to Kyai Ranggana.

" God willing I will help. But not now. I just got married and I can't just leave my wife." Ranvier said.

" We beg Mas. It's emergencies. There's a baby's life at stake here. Not one, but three babies in Arcana's womb. Kyai Ranggana and We all expect a lot on the three future babies Kyai Ranggana successor. Arcana was in deep shock when she found out her husband was caught. She..," Damar deliberately hung up his words hoping Ranvier understood his point.

Ranvier took a deep breath. He could not imagine the pain and panic that Arcana had to endure at this time. In the condition of a large pregnancy he had to face a strange situation, the husband was taken prisoner and he could not do anything. Never mind helping, to move freely is difficult. Arcana must think about the safety of her baby, the future heir to her father's throne.

" I will come but don't stop me from fulfilling my duty as a Muslim later on" Ranvier said.

" What obligation do you mean...?" ask Damar not to understand.

" I want you to let me pray. That's all...!" sahut Ranvier.

" alright. I represent everyone in agreeing with your request" Damar said, making Ranvier smile.

Before leaving, Ranvier turned to the bathroom where Nada was.

" I'm sorry, honey. It's an emergency, I'll clear everything later.." murmured Ranvier.

Then Damar took Ranvier away. But with the condition of his injured body makes Damar's body unbalanced to hit the window and cause a rowdy sound. That voice is what Nada heard.

Ranvier rubbed his face when he remembered his wife. He's been there for a week and that means he could be months away. Without giving a message or news, he was sure Nada was angry and hated him.

" Your wife is fine" Damar said suddenly to Ranvier's surprise.

" Mr. Damar met Nada...?" ranvier asked expectantly.

" yes. Kyai Ranggana sent Barong to take care of him and I drove Barong there.

" Barong...?!" ranvier asked in disbelief.

" yes. Why are you surprised so ?. Oh I know. Surely you thought Nada would scream in fear and run off the ridge when she saw it. You're wrong Ranvier !. Nada summed it up and made Barong under his feet," said Damar annoyed but made Ranvier smile.

" I believe it. Nada is indeed My Wife.," said Ranvier proudly.

" He's really great. Besides being beautiful, she is also tough. There must be a lot of men out there who want it" Damar said with a smile.

" I'm not gonna let that happen !. Once this is done I'll go home. With or without the consent of Kyai Ranggana., "said Ranvier quickly to make Damar shake his head.

Ranvier sneaks into the opponent's fortress with Damar and a select few.

Ranvier's strategy this time is to sneak in when the enemy is holding a crowd like a carnival. All residents poured into the street to see the various attractions shown by the carnival participants. Ranvier was amazed to see the show that made him reprimanded by Damar.

" When do we get in...?" ask Damar.

" Oh yeah. In a moment, sir. We're on duty. Remember, act like ordinary citizens just to be inconspicuous. Whoever arrives inside the fort first, wait for me." said Ranvier.

" Absolute...!" suhut Damar and all at the same time.

Then Ranvier, Damar and some of the men started to split up. After successfully entering the fort, they now search for the place where Ganesh was taken captive. Beyond a doubt, it turns out the fort is not guarded. Apparently the guards are also interested in the attractions out there to neglect their duties.

" Ganesh...!" call Ranvier when he arrives at the basement.

" I'm here Ranvier...!" sahut Ganesh's.

Ranvier rushed in and saw Ganesh shackled on a pole that was hung in such a way. Ganesh's entire body and face were covered in wounds and dried blood.

" You're Ranvier yourself ?. Where are the others...?" ask Ganesh worriedly.

" I came with Mr. Damar and some people. Here, how do I open it...?" ranvier was confused.

" It can't be opened. Because opening it is like a simalakama fruit..," said Ganesh with a bitter smile.

" What do you mean...?" ranvier asked not to understand.

" If you pull the right lever, then my body will float down with the waist broken. If you untie it, then my head will be off my body. And..," Ganesh did not continue his words because he felt it was futile to explain everything.

" There must be a way to untie this Ganesh bond...!" ranvier said riled.

" It's not Ranvier. I know I won't be long. L'm... I took my family. Please protect Arcana and my children. I beg you," said Ganesh with a trembling voice.

Ganesh's words surprised Ranvier. He was silent because he didn't know what to say.
