The gusts of the night wind caressed the spoiled strands after strands of Aryo's gondrong hair. He slowly smoked a roll of tobacco in his fingers, then he exhaled violently, until puffs of smoke came out simultaneously from his mouth and nose.
"Sir, why?" tanya Jagad approached Aryo.
"Hmm, gapapa! Is your mom asleep?" aryo asked Jagad who was sitting quietly beside him.
"Already, sirde! What the hell, sir? Seriously his face" asked Jagad again.
"Pakde's confused again, Le!" aryo replied while exhaling his coarse breath.
"Why else? About mom or something?" search Jagad while taking a cigarette owned by his father.
"Pakde again thought about the problem of Heru as Thunder," replied Aryo as he stared intently at Jagad who was about to ignite his cigarette.
"Hehehe..., try!" Jagad looked wrong at Aryo's stern gaze, "yes, nih! Not so. Maize flip!" jagad continued while putting back the cigarette that he almost sulut next to Aryo. "What's wrong with those two?" ask Jagad.
"Yesterday, Thunder grandfather told me everything the same sirde!" Aryo stopped his sentence for a moment, "both Thunder parents died from the witchcraft that Heru's parents sent, and the ingon that you managed to defeat it will be used to kill Thunder and other families...." Aryo also told everything he heard from Mbah Wiro on Jagad.
"Yes, already!" answer Thunder briefly.
"Well, what do you mean?" asked Aryo who was confused by Jagad's answer.
"Yes, if Jagad even agrees with Wiro. Thunder is hard enough. He will not listen to anyone else's words and advice. He will continue to seek Heru and all the lanterns to Heru. On the other hand, he is also loving if Jagad see. The only way to muffle the grudges in his heart, yes with his own feelings. By making him close to Heru, will minimize the possibility of Thunder hurting Heru later," explained Jagad to Aryo.
"But, what if this secret is revealed when Thunder has not been able to get close to Heru. And Heru has not had any readiness at all?" aryo is still confused.
"Calm down, Jagad will help! Let's take them to Padepokan aja. The Jagad will be watching them. Jagad's premonition is good about both of them," explained Jagad to calm Aryo.
"You sure?" aryo asks who tried to convince Jagad.
"Goddessa! Let that dark fate, just stop at their parents. Don't let it repeat!" after finishing his sentence, Jagad smoked his cigarette deeply.
"Loh! Prump boy!" aryo joked when he looked at Jagad who without realizing it had succeeded in igniting his cigarette secretly.
Jagad ran towards the house leaving Aryo who had prepared to throw his flip flops towards Jagad.
Plakkkp....
A flip throw landed right on Jagad's back, causing him to shout, "adohh!"
"Opo to, Le?" ask Mbah Kromo who is sitting on a rattan chair inside the house.
"Hehehe, mboten Mbah!" Jagad replied while throwing his cigarette back in any direction for fear of being scolded by Mbah Kromo as well.
"It's night, sleep there! Tomorrow at school," Warsi scolds Jagad.
"Jih, mba! Go to the room first, yeah!" pamit Jagad's.
The jagad immediately dashed towards the room, before Aryo went to chase and reached for his ear.
Since that time, Jagad began to often invite Thunder and Heru to learn martial arts and kebatinan science combined Aryo's property.

6 Months later
The boisterous sounds of several neighbors who had gathered at the abbey of Kromo, forced Jagad, Thunder and Heru to wake his body that felt crumbled.
They had just returned home at 3am this morning after accompanying Guntur to practice in the padepokan. Jagad can never allow Thunder to train alone, because Thunder is easily attracted to things that he considers challenging. Jagad was afraid that Thunder was incited by demons to study false sciences outside his supervision.
Today, in the house of Mbah Kromo will be held a wedding event between Aryo and Handayani-mother Jagad. No wonder if early in the morning, the neighbors had gathered to help prepare for the event.
Jagad got up from his sleep, he walked out of the room and immediately performed a fairly late morning prayer in the worship room. Guntur and Heru also soon followed the steps of Jagad, and pray together three.
"Udah rame yes, it's not good to go to sleep!" thunder the sleepy sleepy.
"Sleep in gapapa! I want to take a shower first" said Jagad as he left Thunder and HeruÂ
"Come on, come on Her!" bring Thunder to Heru. "Well, the krucil! Even scolding him," said Guntur when he saw Heru had fallen asleep again in his seat.
"Let's go, if you want to sleep again gapapa. Just sleep in the room," tell Jagad to Thunder.
"Son, I want to see the marriage pact!" thunder said.
The thunder walked back into the room.
Thunder again emerged from the door of the room with a pillow in his hand.
"Kasian Heru, in the hard prayer room on the floor," said Guntur while carrying a pillow he brought to the room where Heru fell asleep.
Jagad just smiled looking at the behavior of Thunder on Heru. Many times Jagad is caught off guard by the commotion that Thunder and Heru make when together. They are like mice and cats that never stop trying to kill each other. However, they also always care for each other like sister. Especially Guntur, he was always the front guard when Heru was being colonized by his school friends.
It flashed a great hope in the mind of the heart of Jagad, "let the secret continue to be stored, so that no one else will be hurt. Thunder and Heru deserve to live happily without the dark shadows of their parents' past, O God."
Jagad continued his steps towards the bathroom to clean himself up.
The clock has shown at 8 am, Mbah Kromo's house has been crowded by neighbors and invited guests.
Jagad's mother is an orphan, she has not had anyone since she was a child. That's why Mbah Kromo asked for a wedding to be held at Mbah Kromo's house only.
"Oh, why are you crying?" jagad asked when he saw his mother in tears in the room alone.
"Hud suddenly the same keinget as your father, Le!" Handayani.
"Hum, I'm calm in nature. I know you don't? Before the accident, I told Jagad..," Jagad stopped his sentence for a moment. "Even if one day your father is gone and your mother remarries, I will only allow Aryo sir to take his place! Do you know why?" aryo.
"Huh?" Handayani looked a little surprised.
"Because I know, the love of Pakde Aryo to mother is so great. Dad also said, if you always feel guilty ever snatch mother from pakde. Yes even though my own mother who chose my father, but I always feel guilty. Dad asked Jagad to always respect the pakde, just like Jagad respects the father. So, Jagad hope you don't think too much of me anymore. Ibuk deserves to be happy with sirde. That's what the same father Jagad wants. Don't cry anymore, Buk!" entertain Jagad to the mother.
Without Jagad and his mother knowing, Aryo has been behind the door. The net began to bristle at the explanation of the Jagad. He again remembered the figure of Prayudha, and all the memories of the childhood of both of them.
"Pakde, what? Ngintip ibuk, huh? Hayo ngaku..," ledek Thunder from behind Aryo's back.
"Wooo, you even ngagetin pakde! What's the hanging?" aryo's protest at that super ignorant Thunder.
"Hehehe, yes later let Thunder find a substitute for his qabulnya ijab, if the hanging pakde," replied Thunder with a cry.
Aryo immediately landed his dead jeweran on Thunder.
"Sick, sirde! Forgive me! O Allah, the mightiest of incantations!" shouted Thunder.
Handayani and Jagad who heard the commotion from outside, immediately got up and checked outside.
"What are you doing?" mandayani asked with a smile looking at Thunder and Aryo.
"Pakde ngintipin i..," Aryo spontaneously covered Thunder's mouth with his hand so that he would no longer fuss.
It was Thunder who was trying to break away from Aryo's grip. Making the Jagad unable to withstand his laughter.
"Oh, sir, go there first! Let Jagad's mother anter later," pinta Jagad on his stepfather-to-be.
"Cie, I still want to be called Pakde!" seloroh Guntur while running away to no longer be picked up by Aryo.
"Ashm! The boy dubai tenan," said Aryo while fixing his clothes that have been messy due to the actions of Thunder.
"Yes already, I was there. Okay!" said Jagad while fixing the collar Aryo shirt that looks less neat.
Aryo was no longer able to hide the taste of his scent, when he heard Jagad calling him 'Father'.
"Yes, pray for you! Hopefully not groggy will fit ijab qabul," replied Aryo while holding back his tears so as not to fall.

LEGITIMATE....
Rumblings of thanksgiving from people who were in the house Mbah Kromo. Jagad cried as he hugged mom and dad.
"You're fine, sir! Jagad love you guys!" said Jagad interrupted his sobs.
***flashback off***
"Aaaaaa..., huaa.., huaaa..," came a cry so heartbreaking that it awakened the Jagad from its long daydream.
The jagad throws the cigarette butts that almost burn its fingers in any direction, then it moves and goes towards the source of the sound it came from.
Seriate....
