ADJOINING REALM
MAHESHWARI

Time passed by, not feeling the sky had started to turn yellow. Darto and Si Mbok were currently standing at the door, staring at the back of the old man who continued to gradually move away. The man again left Darsa living alone with Si Mboknya at home. But for Si Mbok it is not new, she has often lived by her husband and sometimes even very long.

"Mbok, Darsa's leaving tomorrow too, huh? Darsa has obtained permission from the father as well," said Darto a little heartless, he saw Si Mbok who kept his head down in front of him.

"Yes, Le?! Hopefully what you are looking for quickly you get, yes, son," said Si Mbok while hugging Darsa.

"Thank you, Mbok," answered Darto briefly, In Darto's heart he really does not have the heart, but anyway this is a test for him.

Long story short, the day has changed, this morning Darto who stopped in the body of Darsa has finished preparing provisions for their trip. After getting permission and Si Mbok, Darto rushed out of his home.

"Which way are we going, Sas?" ask Darto to Sastro who is now accompanying his trip. Sastro also Wajana continued to follow Darto's steps behind his back.

"Just go west, Dar. We go to the girl's house first" replied Sastro then preceded Darto. This time he led the way.

"Kanjeng Romo is gone again, Kang?" ask Wajana without looking at Darto. He seemed bored with the journey we were doing, well even though he was originally floating and not walking.

"Already, Jan. You told him where he's not going?" darto asked briefly, he looked at Wajana's face beside him.

"Not to know, Kang. But he told me yesterday that there was a village that did not know about Islam, maybe now he went there to recognize our religion," said Wajana briefly then asked again. "Do the Darsa kang also want to continue the road of preaching that Romo kanjeng do?"

For a moment Darto was stunned, he did not know at all where Darsa's father went. And the question of Wajana really gave a surprise to Darto.

"Maybe yes, maybe not, Jan. I have not thought until then," said Darto then looked up, he felt proud in his heart, after knowing his ancestors were not ordinary people. It can be said that Darto's ancestors were one of the religious leaders who participated in the spread of Islam in Java.

After hearing Darto's answer, Wajana no longer asked questions. So did Darto, he chose to silence and continue to follow Sastro's steps, until finally they arrived in front of a rickety hut that was very small in front of them. They decided to stop and approach the residents.

Unexpectedly, the girl could see Sastro as well as Wajana. Darto was really surprised even though he did not show his surprise. As a result, Darto could only be stunned to see Sastro and Wajana offer healing for the young girl in front of him.

After the girl nodded without opening her voice, the three men along with one girl walked hand in hand, with Sastro leading the way in front. Step by step until some rest has been successfully passed, when the sky has darkened they return to rest because Darsa alias Darto must perform prayers and also break the fast. They were all sitting with a bonfire burning in their midst. While waiting for Isya's time, they just spend time joking and joking together.

The girl who had always been moody all her life could actually show off the rows of teeth on her lips tonight, her eyes sparkling, she seemed to have gained hope on this journey. This time he opened his voice a lot, although the story was always the same, about his misfortune, and about the beginning he got a disease in his body. She cried when she told me about her birth mother who threw herself away, she was thrown away when her skin began to blister and remove the green rotten liquid if it split. He still remembered the reason his mother said she wanted to take him to the middle of the market. But instead of going to the market, the girl was living alone in the middle of the forest. After one night of walking without knowing the slightest direction, he met Darsa's father. He is brought home and allowed to occupy the old house that Darsa has. It turned out that the house where Darto picked up the girl was none other than his home that had long been abandoned, because the distance was quite far from the village center.

To eat, once a day the girl had to walk to Darsa's house, and every time she took her rations, she was made into a ploy along the way. From a young age to an elderly age, everyone was very excited to continue to ridicule the state of his body, not even once he got spit from the person he met, he said, but without a grudge the girl kept ignoring them.

What a very slicing story, Darto really can not imagine if he was in the position of the girl. After hearing the story, all the men there slammed their eyes towards the ground, they felt lifting their faces was a hard thing to do that night.

"Let's go ahead, the place is close, Dar," said Sastro while standing from the position of the precepts. He had just finished praying after the Isha prayer.

Hearing Sastro's invitation, everyone followed his steps back. Unfortunately the distance to the waterfall was not as close as they expected. For three hours they continued their journey, but the sound of water was not heard.

After a long time, Darto's eyes were forced back to round, when Darto saw two large stone alley no stranger to him. It was indeed the same stone as the great stone he had seen when he was about to go to take the test with the Mbah Turahmin in his original life.

After walking back, and the boulder began to look no further behind because it was dark, suddenly the heart in Darsa's chest was beating so fast. Darto was really confused with the body he was stopping by, Darto could only guess if Darsa had been looking for this waterfall for a long time, to make his body remember the wishes of the owner, so as to make his body remember, his soul is no longer here.

"Finally! we're at Curug Maheswari, Dar!" said Sastro then ran fast towards the water not far from him, followed by Wajana, Darsa alias Darto and the young girl behind him.
