"Does Mr Jarwo have visions of Om Dewa?" Ask me with a rough spit.
"The fate and destiny of no one knows it Nduk. Let time answer, we only need to accept good or bad destiny. Let us leave it to the Creator." Replied Mr. Jarwo exhaled a long breath.
Our conversation continues to discuss Mr. Mitro's family. This time Mr. Jarwo blatantly reminded me, if I was dealing with one of Mr. Mitro's descendants.
"What do you mean, sir? Rania has never met Mr. Mitro, let alone his descendants."
"You'll soon understand what I mean. But I'm asking you to be careful not to interfere too deeply in their affairs. Not just a gift, they have magical pets as well. Which they can tell at any time to eliminate someone they don't like."
I fell silent, not understanding at all what Mr. Jarwo was talking about. Because I don't know anyone from Mr. Mitro's family at all.
"Why are you quiet, Nduk? Is there something you want to show me?"
I immediately answered Mr. Jarwo's question, I don't know what he meant. Suddenly he discussed the prayer beads that someone gave me.
"Loh Mr Jarwo also knew about that?"
It seems that Mr. Jarwo only showed his smile. He nodded his head and asked me to take the bagbih. I took the bagbih in the backpack and handed it to Mr. Jarwo. He immediately explained, if this prayer beads are not careless prayer beads. According to him, the one who gave the prayer beads to me was not just anyone.
"Are you sure Mr Jarwo is human?"
"Of course Nduk, do you doubt me?" Mr. Jarwo said by hooking his two eyebrows.
"Not Rania hesitated with Mr. Jarwo's explanation. But what Rania saw at that time made no sense. He who gave this prayer beads suddenly disappeared without a trace. It seems he is not from the human class."
"You're wrong Nduk. He is still human as we are. But he is not an ordinary man, he has advantages that others do not have. He can be anywhere whenever he wants. There are some humans who have such advantages. If me and the late Mbah Karto can move elsewhere, it's just our souls. While he you meet it, can move the complete place of his soul and body. He will only come at the right time, and not just anyone can meet him. You're one of the lucky ones to get something out of him. Keep and take care of this prayer beads well, they will always protect you if you continue to use them for worship. It is only God who has always protected all of His people. But through the middleman, God willing, you will always be protected."
I was silent for a moment, thinking of Mr. Jarwo's words. Who exactly is the person we are talking about. It seems he is very special, even Mr. Jarwo called him not a random human being. But I feel like I'm no stranger to that guy. The old man sacrificed white with his shady face. It still crossed my head, that very friendly figure.
"Raniaa. Here!" Shouted Lala as she waved her hand.
"Yes, we'll talk about it another time. Go see Lala, it looks like she can't wait to tell you about someone who's been close to her lately." Said Mr. Jarwo while sharing his smile.
I was shocked to hear the news of Lala's closeness to someone. I ran over to Lala and then grabbed her.
"Did I hear you've got a new boyfriend, huh La?"
"Ngaco ish Rania. Must be my sister-in-law who told me?" Sahut Lala hooked both eyebrows.
Just now Lala was going to tell you, Wati and Mbak Ayu came as a surprise to us. Lala stopped her words. He timidly told about his closeness with someone who is still a secret.
"La, can you call your son? I wonder how handsome your son is. Rania said your son is mature and very handsome in natureny. Even he was very kind, down from his mother." Babak Ayu's chirping in front of Lala.
It seems Lala is just a crygegesan to hear the ridiculous request of Mbak Ayu. He didn't know what to say, and Wati answered him. According to Wati, Lala is not always able to meet her son.
"In the human and supernatural realms it has a time difference. I used to be just like you, able to see and communicate with supernatural beings. But as time went on, that power disappeared somewhere. So only the three of you still have that kind of ability. If you want to see Lala's son, just wait a certain night, he'll definitely visit her mother." Obviously Wati is short.
"It's true Wati, but Lala also has to move on with her life. Even though he has a magical child, his life in this human realm must still run. Hence they could not meet often, let alone the Father of Senopati still exist." I said with a smile.
"Would your son be Senopati? Sorry La, I don't know anything about you. But I was just curious. Because I can also see supernatural beings like you. Occasionally play to Jakarta, I invite you around the streets as much as possible!" Seru Mbak Ayu raised his eyebrows.
We all smiled together, except for Wati who was silent by lowering her head. And his face turned grim.
"It looks like I'll never be able to go to Jakarta again. Especially go out with you guys." He breathed a long breath.
"What's wrong with Wat. If you can't get there, we'll come for you to visit. Yeah, yeah gaes?" I hugged Wati with teary eyes.
Tonight our feelings were all mixed. Wati will be getting married tomorrow. There should be a happy feeling that we feel. But seeing Wati's depressed face, we all couldn't feel happiness for her.
"You all promise, you'll always visit me if I can't go anywhere. Honestly, I'm afraid to be in the family house." This time Wati was completely covered in tears.
We all hugged her at once, and promised to be there for her.
"Yes, you've slept first, yes, I'm going ahead for a while." I said as I stood up, and walked out.
I sat on the front porch of the house. I looked up at the night sky, then breathed the fresh air typical of the countryside. Suddenly, a clear circle soaked my face, this time I could not hide my sadness. There were too many problems that I faced, but now I have to fight myself over them.
"What are you doing, son?" Mama said while sitting next to me.
Mama wiped my tears and gently rubbed my hair. I was getting swept away in sadness.
"Rania can't wait to see Wati Mah. Had Rania been able to do something to derail the marriage, Rania would have done it."
"Shhh. Oh baby, don't cry anymore. We as human beings can only accept God's destiny. You're just encouraging enough for Wati, don't show your sadness in front of her. It will only make Wati more heavy-hearted, son. We just pray, so that someday Wati's life can be happy. Is not technology today increasingly sophisticated. Her husband-to-be could be cured, and their domestic life could go as it should."
Hearing Mama's explanation, I began to calm my heart. I nodded my head, and wiped away the tears. But as the shadow surprised me, I looked in all directions looking for the magical figure that was watching me.
