The night felt so quiet and silent, occasionally heard the sounds of night animals along the road to the left right is a forest and rice fields.
Mardi endured all the pain that continued to hit his body, while continuing to beristighfar and ask for His forgiveness.
Netranya looked at the son who was focusing on driving the car, accompanied by Aryo beside him. The reason, the owner of the jackfruit tree that Mardi took the fruit, is the parents of someone who Ardi-kannya like all this time.
Ardi stopped his car in front of a joglo house that looked so quiet. Ardi goes down with Aryo first, to ensure the existence of the owner of the house.
Seen an old grandfather approached Aryo and Ardi who were in front of the door of the house. After a little chat with Aryo, he finally kindly let Ardi and his family in.
"Monggo, please sit down!" said Mbah Rebo-owner of the house so kindly. "Nwbt ... Ningrum. Make a drink for the guest" he called the granddaughter in the room.
A beautiful woman appeared from behind the bedroom door, nodding softly while smiling kindly towards Ardi and his family.
Ardi's smile expands, finding the girl of his heart greeting his family kindly. However, at once the smile disappeared changed the shame that was greatly caused by the father.
Aryo precedes the conversation by expressing Mardi's apology for his innocence.
"I have forgiven him. I am also confused why there are always people who come here with the same complaints, even though I never do anything funny to them. The garden was only the legacy of my late father, I rarely went there. Honestly, I from childhood often goosebumps when I go to the garden, so I let it lie dormant" explained Mbah Rebo.
"Once again I'm sorry, Mbah!" said Mardi while reaching for Mbah Rebo's wrinkled hand. His tears flowed hard to resist the shame and regret caused by his behavior.
"Important don't repeat yo, Mar! If you want to take you can come here first or Ardi told to call Naning," said Mbah Rebo.
"Damn, Mbah!" mardi.
"So this has happened so often, Mbah?" ask Aryo.
"Yes, Mas. There have been 4 times that anyone has visited this house for the same reason," said Mbah Rebo who looks so astonished.
"Maybe the ancestors of the panjenengan used to put something to protect the garden, Mbah," said Aryo.
"Can I just get rid of it? Let everyone be free to take the produce from the garden" asked Mbah Rebo to Aryo.
"Tomorrow let my children survey the location, Mbah."
Ardi still looked down next to his father. The young man seemed so ashamed of what Mardi did that he was unable to lift his face in front of Naning Rumiyati, Mbah Rebo's grandson.
"Have you been playing here for a long time, Di?" asked Mbah Rebo while looking at Ardi.
"Jih, Mbah. Ardi also just came home a few days ago," explained Ardi.
"Do not think too much, wong soba yo never forbid anyone to take the fruits in the garden. Tomorrow try to take the children of Mas Aryo to the same garden Naning. Sumpah is old, lazy if you want to go there," asked Mbah Rebo to Ardi.
For a moment Ardi stared at Naning who was sitting next to his grandfather. Seeing Naning just nod and smile at him, Ardi finally agreed with Mbah Rebo's request with pleasure.
After talking and chatting long enough, they decided to leave immediately because it was too late.
The pain that a few days tormented Mardi, slowly began to fade. He fell asleep in the car on the lap of Atun who still continues to stroke his hair slowly.

The next morning, Mardi woke up in bed with a much fitter condition. His stomach had returned to its normal size, and the pain had disappeared from his body.
"Sir, is it okay?" asked Ardi when he saw his father awake.
"Already, Sir. So next time do not like to take have people, shame will be. Yes Ardi already wanted to go to Naning's house first," said his words while kissing the back of his hand without the slightest anger over what happened.
"Yes .. be careful. I don't want you to come for anything" said Mardi.
"Yes, sir."
Jagad checked Mardi's condition again accompanied by Heru.
"When it's late afternoon, sir. Let the condition be stable first," said Jagad. He turned around and left Mardi alone in his room.
"Our father just used my car," Ardi suggested to Jagad and Heru who were preparing to look at Mbah Rebo's garden.
"Oh, yes, my. For a moment I take some tools first," said Jagad.
"I'm motoring, Mas Ardi. Same time later Mas Jagad only, I follow behind." Heru is seen leading his motorcycle from the garage.
"Oh yes already."
***
The sun was shining so brightly, Naning and Ardi walked along the slippery path, followed by Jagad and Heru behind them.
One side of the road is a fairly steep gorge, ready to welcome them if the wrong foot stepped. Without any barrier, except the trees are lined up neatly like a guardrail.
"It is only fitting that Mbah Rebo will not come, wong the road like this," said Heru.
"Yes, Mas. The gardens here are rarely touched. Only a handful of people come here often to dance the grass," Naning explained.
They walked through an area of the garden that is more worthy of being called the forest while occasionally slashing weeds and weeds that block the road. Until they arrived at a garden with a concrete fence surrounding it.
"Rich of a former house?" said Heru.
"Yes, the word sewah used to be here there was indeed the house of the late Mbah Buyut, Mas. Because the land is prone to landslides, they choose to move. It used to be quite wide, not like now" Naning explained.
The corn is just silent looking around the garden area where there are so many trees of various fruits. Feeling an aura so different from the few gardens he had previously passed through.
The jagad approached the jackfruit tree while trying to feel what energy was there. He closed his eyes, his mind was constantly focused on communicating with the figure he felt his presence in that place.
"Ono opo mrene?" (What's up here?) A large tall figure more similar to genderuwo stood firmly in front of Jagad.
The creature stared intently with its red eyes at Jagad and the others, except for Naning. He looks so respectful to the woman who obviously can't see it.
"Synthetic pan? Kula dipun utus kaliyan Mbah Rebo, kangge ngresiki kebon niki," (Who are you? I was sent by Mbah Rebo to clean this garden,) the inner Corn.
"I'm Gandring, I'm ditugaske kebon iki! I'm going to lungo soko kene. I will continue to be ono, kanti unikasing dunyo," (I am Gandring, I am assigned to guard this garden! I'm not leaving here. I will continue to exist, until the end of the world, ) explained the creature.
The jagad felt the radiance of energy from the creature began uncontrollably, even the energy in Heru was awakened.
"Retreat!" Heru gives instructions to Ardi and Naning who do not know about what Jagad is facing.
"Don't You mess up?!" yelled Naning who looked so pale. His eyes were perfectly white, with his evil grin he looked at the Jagad and the others alternated. Apparently, there was an entity that managed to master the girl's consciousness.
