Back to the story, Asep's opening to his Abah heritage house, the house was not maintained during Asep, staying in Jakarta, the situation in the house, still like the circumstances when Asep went to Jakarta.

Fortunately Asep, up to the house, it was still noon so there was time to clean up.

After finishing clean clean.evening arrived, then Asep entered the house and took a bath, as he often did first, he cooked rice with potluck, which he bought earlier, from the shop under his house.

Many residents ask anywhere during this time, Asep only answers only potluck, without making residents suspicious.

The night is getting late, making the atmosphere more tense, maybe now the residents have all fallen asleep.except Asep . He deliberately meditated to summon his ancestors.

Asep sank deeper into his mind, as if his spirit was drifting to a place, a place where all the spirits of his ancestors were gathered.

It was a vast, magical place, which could only be reached by Asep's mind.

when he saw all his ancestors gathered, Asep said with his head down, "Sampurasun aki nini, all of them.Your grandson came with disrespect, just wanted to pour out the feelings of the grandson, who was confused, who was,grandchildren want the right guidance from all of you.

They all smiled with wisdom.

"Welcome, ,Asep. our proud grandson, now you are the successor of our will, we always pay attention to you, Son, indeed .all of that is a choice,when you accept the Qodam you may be forced, but it will be your destiny, you must be willing to accept it, as well as the situation that befalls you now, according to us,...you must be prepared with all the risks that you will bear later.so face all the realities that will happen," said one of the ancestors.

Asep replied, "Well grandchildren, will always obey what everyone says, then grandchildren, the retreatants, will always obey,

"Go, watch your Kodam, not until he's gone from your body" they said simultaneously.

Asep's spirit of thought returned to his body, Now Asep is full of spirit, that whatever will happen, he is ready to face it.
