The Three Chosen
125. Come to Sanggar
Talks Faiq and his family had with Niken's grandmother continued. But now they choose to chat in the gazebo behind the inn while enjoying the morning sun. Nek Niken can also immediately guess if Izar ever danced with Inar not long ago.
“ I mean Grandma, the dancer who danced with me that night was Inar..?” ask Izar in disbelief.
“ Right...,” legit Niken quick.
“ Where possible Grandma. The dancer still looks very young. Um, sorry before. Kan Grandma said that Grandma was the same age as Inar, should not look much different dong same Grandma..,” said Izar was not happy.
“ Yes Grandma knows, but Inar uses black magic that makes the aura of her beauty does not fade and even increase with age which also increases.” sahut nek Niken relaxed.
“ Makes sense too Son. Because at that time Opa also suspected the same appearance. Kaya is already that old but kok is still looking young and beautiful..,” said Erik added.
“ If you allow me to meet Inar when you meet him later.” pinta nek Niken.
“ Can Grandma. We will be there this afternoon..,” said Faiq quickly to make Niken's grandmother smile.
“ What's not too dangerous Well..?”
shera asked worriedly.
“ Insya Allah gapapa Bun. Ntar Bunda Temenin Mama aja at the inn, do not go anywhere and wait until We return..,” said Faiq.
“ Ok, but be careful all of you..,” said Shera who is a Faiq.
“ What is there that We have to prepare to face the Inar Nek..?” ask Hanako.
“ Ga No Nak. Your strength is more than enough to fight Inar. Moreover, I will come with you. Inar has a weakness and only I know what that weakness is. I hope he will repent before death picks him up.” said grandma Niken riled.

Faiq took his family to a dance studio Izar and Erik had attended last night. Nek Niken also participated and sat in the middle seat with Hanako. Iyaz and Izar were in the back seat.
“ We parked outside so that it does not attract the attention of Nak..,” said Erik.
“ Yes Pa...,” sahut Faiq.
A moment later they entered the hangar which was open to the public. When passing through the gate of the sanggar has been heard the sound of gamelan that makes the heart of Nek Niken beat fast because it is remembered with his past when he was still a dancer.
“ Does Grandma remember this gamelan sound.?” hanako asked half a whisper.
“ Yes Cu. Although Grandma has never danced again since Grandma ran away from the village but Grandma sure can still dance well.
The arrival of Faiq and his entourage was greeted by a man who was a dance coach who was training members of the dancing studio at the time.
“ Good morning, sorry to interrupt. Can we meet with the owner of this hangar.?” ask Faiq.
“ Morning, who is this Mr...?” ask the dance coach.
“ We are no one but We take an old friend of His...,” said Faiq while pointing to Niken's grandmother who was busy observing the sanggar building.
The dance coach looks at Niken for a moment and nods. Then he invited Faiq and
his entourage sat on the porch of the house facing the stage where they practiced dancing. While one of the gamelan music players entered the house to call Inar.
Shortly thereafter Inar came out of his mansion. Inar smiled when he saw the arrival of the lzar. Like a teenager in love, Inar stepped over to Izar with a flirtatious smile. It seemed that Inar had not noticed the presence of the others there as both of his eyes were only focused on looking at Izar.
“ Glad to see you back. I know you will definitely come like the others used to.”, Inar said.
his hands stretched out to touch Izar's face.
bewildered. So far no man has refused his touch, but why are these teenage boys so different. He dared to avoid Inar's gaze even away from him as if deliberately keeping a distance from him. Although a little upset but Inar smiled because he felt more challenged.
As Inar was about to rush forward to pursue Izar, Niken's nek voice greeted him to make Inar turn.
“ How is Inar..?” ask Niken in a deep voice.
“ You who..?” inar asked while looking at Niken.
“ Have you forgotten your old friend Inar. I'm Niken, your rival in getting the love of Kang Harsa.
Niken with a mocking smile.
Duaarrr !.
Like hearing lightning on a hot day, that's how Inar felt when he heard his guest's answer. Inars
round his eyes to make sure that the old woman before him was Niken, his friend and rival first.
“ Nik..., Niken...” said Inar with a vibrating voice.
As if aware that they were on the terrace of his house, Inar also asked the dancers to stop practicing.
“ You go first. Today is practice holiday. Tonight there is also no stage, because I have an important business.!” said Inar firmly who was taken by his disciple.
“ Good Mom, We excuse you first.” said one of them and rushed to invite all his friends to go from there.
After his students left, Inar just circulated his gaze and realized that it was not only Izar and Niken who were visiting guests. When his eyes hit the figure of Faiq, Inar's knees felt trembling and limp instantly. Inar felt that Faiq's eyes held a great power capable of destroying his defenses.
“ Who are you, what would you like to visit in this way...?” ask Inar not to like it.
“ I am His Father. I've come to ask you to stop chasing him. Because besides she's too young she deserves to be your granddaughter. Find other men who can compensate you but not my son and family.!” sahut Faiq while embracing Izar's shoulder.
Inar gasped at the sentence Faiq said. He did not expect if the original cover was revealed when
they just met. Inar smiled because he was sure that Niken was the one who had told him his true identity. Because all this time no one can guess how old he is.
“ If I don't want to, how about..?” inar asked softly but it was clearly a challenge for Faiq.
“ I will not stay silent because I will make you retreat with pain and shame.” said Faiq firmly.
“ Ha ha ha..., retreat with pain and shame. Hmmm.., interesting. I wondered what it would be like to retreat with pain and shame. Because all this time no one can make me like that.” said Inar while laughing.
“ Don't be arrogant Inar !. It's time you quit, repent while there's still time.!” said grandma Niken upset.
Inar just sneered as if he was underestimating the presence of his guests. Inar casually turned his body around as if he was about to go back inside the house, but apparently it was just Inar's trick to trick everyone. It was then that Inar grabbed the powder that he put behind his waist and turned his body and threw the powder towards Izar. All screamed stifled because they were sure that the powder was not a random powder. The reddish color of the powder seemed to confirm what was contained in it.
Luckily Izar managed to protect his face from the powder attack by crossing his arms in front of his face. The powder only hit Izar's arm and made Izar grimace.
“ You gapapa Zar..?!” hanako and Iyaz asked simultaneously while approaching Izar.
“ Thank God, I'm gapapa. It only takes a little but really painful..,” said Izar while blowing his arm
the wounded.
Hearing his son's reply made Faiq's blood boil. He looked at Inar sharply and then moved towards Inar who seemed to stand while crossing with a mocking smile.
