GHOST VILLAGE

PART 26 GENDERUWO

Queen Sari then fell asleep after spilling a story of longing for her Mother, and Rama also accompanied her sleep Queen Sari beside the bedroom bed. But while trying to close his eyes, it does not feel Rama still grasps his HP and keeps the heirloom of Kujang Pamenang in his belt. And accidentally also in his heart, Rama briefly remembered Raka. Rama repeatedly recited Ajian Pralambangun as taught by Raka some time ago. Then Rama also while imagining the face of Dewi Ratih, according to the illustration of the story of Ratu Sari. That is how it turns out Rama is trying for the first time to use Ajian Pralambangun in order to return to the past, when Dewi Ratih was taken captive by Buto Ijo.

Suddenly, Rama sensed a strange energy entering his body. He was afraid and wanted to open his eyes, but could not do so. His body was frozen and it was hard to breathe. Then Rama felt his body being pulled by a huge force and entered the energy hole so it seemed to float quickly into the sky.

After a while, Rama felt the energy slowly dissipate and his body fell to the ground and Rama felt pain all over his body. He opened his eyes, then was shocked and confused by what had just happened. What made him feel such energy? Where is he now?

Then, Rama remembered what he had just done. He last imagined the face of Dewi Ratih and recited Ajian Pralambangun by accident. Rama recalled that Ajian Pralambangun was to explore time.

Ajian Pralambangun is one of the sciences or mantras in the Javanese tradition that can supposedly be used to move themselves to another dimension, open the doors of space and time, or achieve certain spiritual goals. The term Pralambangun itself comes from the Javanese language which means "awakened out of bounds".

Ajian Pralambangun is said to be mastered by people who have reached a certain level of consciousness in meditation and spirituality. Spiritualists who master this study are said to be able to move their bodies into the subconscious, astral, or even other dimensions.

The process of learning Ajian Pralambangun involves intensive meditation and mind-centering exercises. Spiritualists say that this study should only be studied with a purely spiritual purpose, and should not be used for evil or selfish purposes.

Rama is now still amazed by the dim atmosphere bathed in torch light. He observed, it seemed like he was inside a cave. He remembered the story of Ratu Sari about Dewi Ratih who was held captive in a cave by Buto Ijo. Is this the cave in question? Rama continued to walk around in the cave to the source of light that looked brighter, and finally he heard the voice of the woman who chanted prayers while sobbing in tears. Rama tried to get closer and from a distance looked a woman who looked motherly, but still beautiful, was gathered to raise her palm while saying a prayer. Crying and teardrops also flowed down her cheeks, and to Rama's surprise, the woman also mentioned the names of King Piningit and Queen Sari in her prayers.

Rama wondered in his heart, whether it was true that the woman was Dewi Ratih according to the story of Ratu Sari before. Rama approached the woman and greeted her, "Assalamu'alaikum, please excuse the time, Mother.. "

Dewi Ratih was surprised when she saw Rama and asked who he was, "Sss, who are you young man? What are you doing here? "

Rama: "I am Rama, husband of Queen Sari daughter of King Piningit.. I accidentally entered a time portal from the future of 2023. Is it true that Mother named Dewi Ratih?"

Dewi Ratih: (still astonished) "Yes right I Dewi Ratih. Is it true that your story is that you are the husband of Queen Sari and the son-in-law of King Piningit? "

Dewi Ratih still did not believe what she saw and heard. Until then Rama also remembered about the HP he still held when reciting Ajian Pralambangun. Rama rushed out his HP and showed some photos and videos while Rama with Ratu Sari.

Dewi Ratih who had not believed in Rama, but finally wanted to receive Rama showed photos and videos of Ratu Sari. Dewi Ratih was a bit worried, because Ratu Sari who left him was when he was a child aged 5 years, but what Rama showed was a photo and video of Queen Sari who had grown up and claimed to be his wife. Dewi Ratih only began to believe when Rama began to show a photo of King Piningit which happened to be successfully stored in Rama's HP.

Dewi Ratih was stunned, looking at the old photo of Raja Piningit her husband, who was familiar, although a bit of a wrinkled streak on her forehead, and gray hair on the head that was getting more and more. Dewi Ratih still knows her husband Raja Piningit and increasingly makes Dewi Ratih cry, longing for her husband and daughter.

Rama: "I'm sorry, Mother Goddess. I cannot explain everything in detail how I can go back to this time. But I want to tell you that Ratu Sari misses Mother's presence very much. He was eager to see his mother again. She's pregnant with our first son and she's melancholy.."

Dewi Ratih: "Ah, Ratu Sari... My sweet daughter. I miss him too. But unfortunately, I can't get out of here. I've been a prisoner of Buto Ijo and don't know where this cave is."

Then Dewi Ratih tells the chronology of his abduction by Buto Ijo. The story conveyed by Dewi Ratih is exactly the same as what Ratu Sari told Rama.

Rama: "I understand, Mother Goddess. But don't worry, I'll find a way to help Mother get out of here and get back to meet Queen Sari and King Piningit."

Dewi Ratih: "Thank you, Rama. "

Rama also stood up and begged to leave Dewi Ratih for a while to get out to see the situation of the cave guard. Rama went to the mouth of the cave, then counted and met the cave guards as many as 15 people in front of the cave exit.

Warrior 1: "Stop! Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Rama: "I am Rama, the husband of the daughter of King Piningit, and I want to free Mother Goddess Ratih to come out of this cave."

Warrior 2: "You can't take Goddess Ratih away! He is the captive of Buto Ijo!"

Rama: "But Ijo But is not here at the moment. I will return Dewi Ratih to her family. Please do not let there be violence between us. "

Soldier 1: "No, we can't just let you go. Then we have to beat you too." And the fifteen soldiers of Buto Ijo immediately attacked Rama.

Rama who had prepared himself before was finally able to avoid the attack from the soldiers of Buto Ijo. These soldiers are also stealth creatures, so the movement is very fast when attacking Rama. Ajian Kalimasada and Ajian Tyaga were quite capable of bringing Rama away and avenging the attacks from the Buto Ijo warriors.

Until at its peak, Rama's chest felt a great tremble as Kalimasada's mustika aura gave off an aura of its power. Rama's hand also shook violently, when the Kujang Pamenang Heritage began to move about to channel the power of Kalimasada mustika aura. Rama finally threw the Kujang Pamenang Heirloom into the ground, and instantly the radiation of the deadly force of Kalimasada mustika aura spread to a radius of 5 km from where Rama stood. The soldiers of Buto Ijo were finally defeated, and the trees in the forest around the forest also collided due to the radiation of Kalimasada mustika aura power.

Rama checked the situation around the cave that became quiet, the soldiers of Buto Ijo had been destroyed. Then Rama walked into the cave to invite Dewi Ratih to come out of the cave.  Dewi Ratih was originally still collected chanting prayers in the cave, finally ready to follow Rama to get out of the cave.

Rama leads Dewi Ratih out of the cave, and intends to bring back Dewi Ratih to the kingdom of the white flow of the Jinn led by King Piningit and meet his daughter Ratu Sari. But after the road about 300 meters from the mouth of the cave, Dewi Ratih suddenly felt pain on his back.

Goddess Ratih: "Ouch, sick..I'm cut... There's an arrow on my back."

Rama: "What? Who did this?"

Rama was surprised when he saw the back of Dewi Ratih had been stuck with arrows. At once Rama looked behind him, looking for who shot Dewi Ratih.

Rama felt very angry when he saw one buto warrior Ijo who grinned and laughed when he saw his arrow broke through the back of Dewi Ratih. It turns out that there is still a remnant of a new Buto Ijo soldier who came from the forest and was saved from the mustika power of Ajian Kalimasada. Without a second thought, Rama immediately directed the Kujang Pamenang heirloom towards the soldier. Then there was a rumbling sound and bright flashes of light lit up from the heirloom so that it immediately destroyed the body of the soldier.

Ramah: "You! You have done a very evil deed, attacking from behind! You have already injured the innocent Goddess Ratih! Now, feel the power of Pusaka Kujang Pamenang!"

After all the soldiers of Buto Ijo were defeated, Rama led the wounded Dewi Ratih to the mouth of the forest and tried to treat him.

Rama: "Mother, let me help close the wound so that the blood does not come out constantly."

Rama tore a little cloth of his clothes, then plucked the arrow that stuck on the back of Dewi Ratih. Dewi Ratih was in a lot of pain when the arrow was plucked, fresh blood poured out, but Rama then immediately covered the wound with a cloth. Dewi Ratih: "Thank you, Rama. But it seems like my injuries are too bad, I feel weak. Now let me pray for a moment."

Dewi Ratih then closed her eyes and was seen reciting the prayers seriously. Rama obeyed the wishes of Dewi Ratih and let him, feeling sad to see the condition of Dewi Ratih which was getting weaker. After a while, Goddess Ratih opened her eyes and smiled weakly.

Dewi Ratih: "It is time for me to go, Rama. The god Surya has whispered his instructions to me, that I will moxa. Thank you for everything, Rama. Give my regards to my daughter, Queen Sari, and my husband King Paningit. Tell them that his Mother has succeeded in moksa and appointed the Sun God to be the Moon Goddess who will always see and accompany Queen Sari and King Piningit from the sky. "

Moksa is a concept in Hinduism that refers to liberation from the cycle of birth and death (samsara) towards a consciousness that unites the individual soul with Sang Hyang Widhi, or the underlying cosmic consciousness. Moksa is also considered the highest goal of human life in Hinduism.

According to Hinduism, human existence in the cycle of birth and death is due to karma, the law of cause and effect that determines the fate of humans in the next life based on actions in the previous life. Moksa is achieved when a person is able to break away from the cycle of birth and death and reach a consciousness that unites the individual soul with Sang Hyang Widhi. Moksa is also considered to be the liberation from all suffering and differences, and allows one to achieve lasting happiness.

Moksa is a goal that is highly coveted by many Hindus, and can be achieved through a variety of ways, including devotion to Sang Hyang Widhi, doing good deeds, deepening spiritual knowledge, etc, and control thoughts and emotions. The process of achieving moxa can take a long time and requires determination and earnest effort.

Rama was silent for a moment, pondering what Dewi Ratih had said. Rama was very saddened by the words of Dewi Ratih, but Rama believes that this may be the best destiny of the Almighty. Rama still can not change destiny even though he has tried to explore time using Ajian Pralambangun.

Dewi Ratih smiled and began to pray even more fervently. The rays of light grew brighter and finally Dewi Ratih's body was lifted up into the sky in a state of cross-legged while continuing to pray. After that, the bright light became brighter and dazzled the eyes of Rama finally so that Rama could not see again Dewi Ratih. The Goddess Ratih had disappeared into the beam. Rama was amazed and at the same time felt sad because of the loss of Dewi Ratih. However, Rama was also relieved that Dewi Ratih was finally able to find the end of a peaceful life.

Suddenly, Rama saw the energy circle of the time portal reappearing before him. It seemed that the portal understood by itself that Rama's task was completed in those days; and without waiting for the recital of the Pralambangun Road, the time portal had already appeared. Then without hesitation, Rama immediately jumped into it, and his body seemed to shake violently when entering the time limit circle.

Rama fell, his body was weak. And Rama saw his surroundings turned out to be on the edge of the bed near Queen Sari lying in her room. Queen Sari was immediately awakened to the sound of people falling beside her bed. Queen Sari finally saw her husband Rama.

Rama finally told me what he had done. Ratu Sari listened carefully to the story of Rama until it was finished; and a little cheerful when Rama managed to show photos and videos of Dewi Ratih during his meeting in a cave in the middle of a pedestal on the island of Bali.

Queen Sari: "Thank you, Rama. I am very happy to see the photos and hear the last message from Mother Dewi Ratih. God willing after the birth of our son, I will study Ajian Pralambangun in order to meet Mother." (with a smile). Rama became dumbfounded with the last Queen Sari.
