CANDRAMAYA STORY
Part 38: A Long Journey

We got to where uncle is really sad everyone here as hard as we can survive.

"Assynogaic"

"Wallaikumsalam" replied the old man who came out of the house, we also shook his hand.

"You have arrived, let's go in" said Mbah Diman, we also entered into a cottage made sober.

"Change how is uncle?" I asked who might seem disrespectful because we just arrived, but my worry was unstoppable

"You Thunder?"

"Yes Mbah, I am Uncle Damar's thunder nephew"

"Ndok, Widi here dok"

"Remember Mbah" A woman approached us with water for us

Seeing Widi made Bima become misbehaved and did not stop looking at Widi. Widi who knows if being noticed by Bima blushed shyly seen from her cheeks that began to redden.

Although not using makeup at all, Widi already looks beautiful.

"This is what is called Widi, just bima pantes klepek-klepek, Iki mah bidadari Bim" said Aryo who made Bima more wrong behavior.

"Ekhmmmm" Deheman Arman was able to make Aryo and Bima icep.

"Ndok, this is Guntur mas please deliver it to Uncle Damar's place"

"Good Mbah"

"Mari mas" said Widi very gently. Mas Guntur followed Widi's footsteps to where his uncle was.

"Where are we, are they still looking for our whereabouts?" Ask Mbah Diman to Amar

"Like Mbah, it's just that we really can't go back to the village" replied Amar

Mbah Diman nodded slowly as if he understood the current condition.

"Are we going to be quiet, Mbah?" Ask Aryo

"This is Mbah's business, you don't have to worry. You know what Darmo really wants"

"But Mbah what about the villagers?" Ask Bima

"Bah has asked permission to the creator as well as the protector of this place to be allowed to live on this land" said Mbah Diman

"But Mbah are we just gonna give up? What if Mbah Darmo's students find out about our whereabouts and attack us again?" Tanya Arman who disagrees with Mbah Diman's decision

"Everything in this world is just a deposit, sometimes we have to mengikhlaskan if at any time what we have is taken back" explained Mbah Diman

The three of us nodded, no one dared to refute Mbah Diman's decision.

"Amar, Mbah will go briefly Mbah tidip keep Widi" said Mbah Diman

"Give Mbah, but where are you going?" Ask Amar worried

"Bah just went to see someone, not long" Amar nodded.

Amar knew if Mbah Diman could not give up just like that, Amar could see from the look on Mbah Diman's face that still looked anxious.

"Bim, I tipped Widi as you keep Widi not to happen something like Widi" said Amar

"But where is Amar going?" Ask Bima

"I cannot let Mbah Diman go alone, I just want to take care of him" said Amar

"Mas Amar sure?" Aryo's question was convincing

"I entrust Widi to you Bim, and you Aryo take care of the villagers" said Mas Amar

***

Amar followed where Mbah Diman had gone in secret. Amar passed through the trees so that his existence was unknown to Mbah Diman.

But Mbah Diman knew that Amar was following him.

Amar's agile movements like a monkey's make his enemy defeat when fighting with him. Even so Amar does not arbitrarily use the ability.

"I thought Mbah must be heading towards the village" Amar said in his heart

Arriving in the village there is already Mbah Darmo who welcomed the arrival of Mbah Diman. There was no fight between them, Mbah Darmo also asked his men to retreat and stay away.

Mbah Diman handed over an object wrapped in white cloth.

"That thing??? Wasn't that an heirloom of Mbah Diman's father. Isn't that something precious to Mbah Diman??? Why did Mbah Diman give the inheritance to Mbah Darmo" Amar said in his heart

After handing over the object Mbah Diman , immediately returned but Amar saw the suspicious movements of Mbah Darmo. Surely Mbah Darmo intends to harm Mbah Diman.

But Amar's movement was faster, before Mbah Darmo's keris succeeded in injuring Mbah Diman, Amar first pulled Mbah Diman's body.

"Fuckhead" Pekik Mbah Darmo

"You want to kill me Darmo" asked Mbah Diman in disbelief

"Ahhh, many nonsense, finish them off" Mbah Darmo's command to all his disciples who immediately ran towards Mbah Diman and Amar.

"We leave here Mbah, we won't be able to fight them all" Mbah Diman nodded

"Sorry Mbah" Amar carried the body of Mbah Diman on his back and bolted as fast as lightning jumping the fortifications of one tree and moving the other.

Amar's movement was so fast that it made the disciples of Mbah Darmo gawk at him.

"Stupid you all" cried Mbah Darmo.

***

Thousands of times Mbah Darmo asked Amar to be one of his teachers. But as much as possible Amar rejected it subtly. Amar's refusal made Mbah Darmo more furious and more intent to destroy the Sukma Aji store.

"It is safe Mbah" said Amar

"Thank you Amar"

"That you don't have to thank me, it's my duty. The mother who took care of me and raised me. I can't be devoted to my parents so let me be devoted to you Mbah" Amar said

Mbah Diman patted the man's shoulder in front of him.

"Why did Mbah give you that heirloom?" Ask Amar

"Hahahaha so it's true you're stalking me"

"Sorry Mbah I don't mean to be insolent, I just want to make sure that Mbah is okay"

"It's okay, if you're not around maybe I can't see my granddaughter anymore"

"Change, from anywhere" asked Widi

"Change to find suitable land to be used as fields"

"Oh, Widi's worried"

"Don't worry about Amar taking care of Mbah"

***

Uncle Damar's situation is also better. Although the power has not fully returned.

They gathered in one room, enjoying a potluck meal made by Widi.

Mbah Diman's decision was unanimous, he no longer wanted to take his village. Mbah Diman does not want to see any more victims, they will all start a new life on this land.

"Wuihhh Widi's cooking is delicious, Bim" said Aryo

"That can't eat while talking politely Ndak" Bima said

"Hehe, I want to have a wife like Widi" Aryo's words made Bima choke

"Slow down to Bim"

"You among you there are those who want to approach Widi my opponent first" said Amar who made one room laugh except Bima who looks worried if she has to fight with Amar.
