Pandji looked up, stared at the moon overhead for a while and then faced west where the red glow appeared to sink.

"You wanna look over there? What if it's a trap? Why don't they just come here if they intend to fight?" cerca Mika who had suddenly stood beside Pandji.

The sleep-deprived young man shook his head lightly, "You could say it was a lure for me to go out to check things out."

"Hm .. I'm worried you'll be curious" Mika said slowly.

"That's Badrika's aura, where her magic was very pronounced despite being mixed with her army's. And that red light I believe belongs to the woman who accidentally met me at the airport. I don't forget the energy" Pandji explained.

"Then what are you planning?"

"Teach them to be patient" answered Pandji lightly.

"You mean?" Mika stared intently, this time she was curious about Pandji's thoughts.

"Badrika always shows up in my fights, but never intervenes to help her army, what do you think she's doing? Just watching a show?" Pandji shrugged his shoulders as if he knew nothing.

"Supervising, studying, strategizing?" ask Mika interested.

Pandji turned his head quickly towards the beautiful woman who was looking up at him, "I love you, babe. Your guess is correct!"

Mika blushed, met unseen, disguised dim moon that now looks darker. He knew for sure it was just a compliment, not an expression of a man's love for women. But still Mika is happy not to be a bitch.

"Badrika understands that you can't resist curiosity, so she uses your bad habits to get a chance" Mika said.

"What if we're watching them now? I think being a fool doesn't hurt!"

Pandji bounces and then jumps high up on the roof of the pendopo and sits down while waiting for the moonlight to completely disappear. "Can you get me some cream coffee, Mika?"

Mika almost cursed, Pandji's behavior is sometimes unpredictable and still always arbitrary. He relents, steps away to the already deserted kitchen and makes Pandji's favorite drink.

Three young men bounced themselves like a ball and in an instant were already around Pandji, standing on the roof staring westward then occasionally looking up at the sky.

"Why don't you guys go to bed?" ask Pandji grimly.

"You're so funny, buddy! How can we sleep in such a situation? If you want to know .. it feels like the darkness in my body is pressing on the chest, making shortness of breath like being crushed by invisible stones," said Aswanta who was immediately approved by Mahesa and Tirta.

Pandji grinned, "I just want to observe them, not fight!"

"I also want to be an observer, Master!" exclaiming Tirta looked at Aswanta with a stupid face.

"I don't know what else to tell you, don't call me a teacher and don't act silly!" sahut Aswanta gritted his molar teeth.

Aswanta immediately turned his head towards Pandji after observing the sky for a while, "Is it really tonight, fellas?"

"Shouldn't tomorrow night be easy? But I don't feel like it's a lunar eclipse. Ehm .. so what did the black moon eat, Mas Pandji? Could it be eaten by wolves?" tirta asked with a strange grin.

“Dead well! I went inside for a while .. I need to see the ancient date belonging to grandfather,” Pandji said as he jumped down from the roof.

The handsome young man rushed into the room and picked up an ancient parchment containing the Javanese calendar given by Father Guru.

"There's nothing wrong, it's not a normal lunar eclipse. Someone has manipulated the weather and moonlight conditions to resemble an eclipse." Pandji muttered and nodded to himself as if understanding. "So this is what Badrika does ... play creates natural phenomena?!"

"Please do it the work of the demons, Mas!" the word Pandji's father appeared in front of the door of his room that was open.

"What does all this mean, Dad? Um.... Dad so go with mom?"

Pandji's father nodded calmly, "They will start soon, once Mas Pandji does not show up because they are not provoked by the action they are doing ..The attack on this house will be done soon!"

"Pandji still doesn't understand Badrika's mindset, the new moon's eclipse tomorrow, Dad! Didn't Pandji have to turn himself in to Badrika tomorrow to make up for the safety of Aunt Risa and half of Hargo Baratan's students? Also to read a dead book, to open a dimensional portal and take all supernatural beings into our world. Badrika is clearly in breach of the agreement!"

"What is the devil on promise, Mom?" Pandji's father laughed wryly at his son who was staring stagnantly. "Would Mas Pandji get ready, as well as Mika and the others!"

"Pandji understands, Dad!" the word Pandji rolled up and placed the parchment on his study table.

Come to think of it, Pandji even forgot when was the last time he studied and went to school. Fortunately, extraordinary events in his place of education made the school understand Pandji's absence. The young man snorted with a crazy grin.

I feel like I'm starting to miss Elok, on the call of the counseling teacher also snoring in the classroom.

"Are you going to be long?"

"Fastly I will return if all is safe" replied Pandji's father full of mystery.

"Is it not too dangerous and risky to be at Uncle Candika's house in the current condition?"

"Saving missions are always fraught with risk, Mas Pandji."

"Go back, Dad!" pandji said slowly. He approached his Mother and hugged her for a moment, "Please promise me that Mother will be fine!"

"Mas Pandji is too dismissive of Mother's husband," said Pandji's mother joking.

Pandji grinned with annoyance, he always felt his father was too much to attract the attention of his mother. Pandji is still jealous like a toddler.
