DEMON PUPPET

THE ANCIENT PADEPOKAN SETRA

"i'm hiding here, Anta Kusuma won't dare to set foot here". Said Mr. Setiawan

"why sir?". Much

Kang Sanjaya chimed in on the conversation

"Seda Pati was born in this padepokan, formerly wayang sedapati was made only to be a complement to the role of antagonist in the show Abah Wikatma, then Anta Kusuma, who was Abah Wikatma's favorite student, was jealous of Abah Armayi's achievement so quickly famous, then Anta Kusuma studied black magic called "surup soul" , which is black magic is the science to enter the soul of the devil into something, then Anta Kusuma uses a starch to kill anyone who gets in his way, anta Kusuma used to be almost killed here because his strength is not strong enough to fight people here, so from that until whenever he would not dare to show his nose here". Kang Sanjaya said

"then why now the wayang seda starch is becoming a medium of pesugihan". Much

"actually it is not a medium of pesugihan, there is no such thing as wayang pesugihan, just because the wayang as far as it has the soul of the devil, so whoever approaches all the deeds of the devil, the, the devil will give everything he asked for which eventually the devil will make him a slave, because it is the duty of the devil just to trick humans". Kang Sanjaya

The more I know everything that is happening, the brighter it is, I hope to quickly destroy all the evil behavior of Anta Kusuma and his puppet.

Our conversation is widening, from fundamentals to difficulties - difficulties in the puppet show, Kang Sanjaya is so complete to explain everything.

Kang Sanjaya took me to the room to store my things in the prepared room, I took out my things while chatting casually with her, he was making sure the room I was going to stay in was all right.

I took out Ravana's leather puppet and saw Kang Sanjaya quite interested in my way

"where did this come from?". Ask while holding it carefully

"that's from my grandfather, my father's grandfather". Answer me

"from the engraving motif, this seems to belong to Ki Jiwo Drajat, puppeteer shadow puppet who had duet with Abah Armayi, at that time they performed two types of puppets at once, wayang kulit and wayang golek, at that time they performed two types of puppets at once, Ki Jiwo Drajat is always making his own puppet and has a distinctive carved motif". Kang Sanjaya.

Well, this is great, I just heard there is a show with two types of puppets simultaneously, I am welcome to rest because tomorrow I will be taught all the right techniques in mastering as well as how to beat the starch.

The mattress is quite soft, suddenly I remember, Father and Mother usually ask me if I returned to the city, but until now I have not also communicated with Mother, I tried to contact through Eti, I tried to call, and the number's still off too, what's up?

I daydreamed looking at the sky - the sky room while filled with anxiety about the existence of my family, I still tried to think positive and dispel all my negative thoughts.

"Comm, dede..". Kang Sanjaya called me from outside the room.

I went up and opened the door, it turned out that Kang Sanjaya invited me to dinner, all the food was served at the dinner table, there was lenca, cucumber, salted fish, sambal terasi, and so on, tofu fried tempeh and pete, this is really amazing for me, this food is indeed the most champion food in my opinion.

"Pak Setiawan kamana?". Much

"Home home, he said he wanted to prepare himself to be your nayaga". Answer Kang Sanjaya

Heh. Pak setiawan will be my nayagaku?, it feels like this is a dream, my guidance lecturer will be my escort way, this is amazing.

"Say, you inherited Abah Armayi's skills, and Kang Setiawan wants to go back to nostalgia with Abah Armayi". Kang Sanjaya.

Kang Sanjaya offered me a kretek cigarette while waiting for his assistant to make us coffee here, finally Kang Sanjaya shared a little of his memories with Abah

"That you have a humorous but firm soul in life, he is not stingy in science, to anyone he does not hesitate to transmit his understanding, yes as Abah Wikatma taught". Kang Sanjaya said

Then I asked about why should I stop Anta Kusuma and wayang seda pati?

"your locket!, I happened to be quite close to Abah Armayi, after my father's death, I often joined Abah Armayi in his puppet show, Abah Armayi has a lot of grandchildren, as I recall he has 32 grandchildren, he has 32 grandchildren, yes, when I heard Kang Setiawan's story, I was very grateful that there was Abah Armayi's only surviving granddaughter, and the pendant was the survivor, because Abah once said that the one who inherits the locket will be his successor". Kang Sanjaya.

"Kang, I am very bad at performing puppets, why should I?, while many other puppeteers who have been Abah's students". My legow

"you will know the answer". Answer Kang Sanjaya

the day was getting late at night, I saw Kang Sanjaya had yawned, seen that he was sleepy but maybe he was reluctant to end the conversation, I also asked permission to rest and sure enough, he said, Kang Sanjaya was already very sleepy.

As soon as I went to my room, I lay down and went back to check my salary, hoping for a reply from Eti, and the leg turned out to be a message from Eti

here's the message

"aa, hp neng error, this abis in service, oia a.kemarin someone to the house, you know chat with the father, grandfather - grandpa so a, geezer, don't know what the father is talking about".

Grandpa - grandpa?, who is he

Without thinking, I called Eti

"hello a, aya naon?". Ask Eti

"Eta yesterday grandfather - whose grandfather?". Ask me back

"don't know a, this pretentious tanya we to the father". Eti Pungkas

"yes de, so gini, yesterday the grandfather's tea - the grandfather arrived - arrived at the front of the house, again bengong aja look at the house, have we the same father of tea asked "bade kasaha bah?", well he tea arrived - suddenly talking about the problem of wayang geura de, or father tea confused, already we same father tea invited in, but we are only in bale - bale where you hang out, bale, he tea arrived - arrived nanyain you, gini cenah "kahade son sia anu jalu, bejakeun sing strong, da nu strong nu ngingu" (heart - heart of your boy, son, love must be strong, for it is the strong that nourish it)". Says Mr

What does it mean that grandfather spoke like that?, and who is this?

I asked him at length about the grandfathers to the father, but the father also forgot his name, as usual the father always forgets the name of the person, and only that information I got from the Father, he said, I am also relieved because Father and Mother turned out well - fine.

But the figure of the grandfather was still stuck in my mind, who was he?. I also did not feel asleep, either,

Seriate...
