"take this kid."
The grandfather gave a parcel containing something.
"what is this cake...?"
The grandfather only smiled before finally explaining.
"this is the salt of the son, but not the ordinary salt, this salt has been mixed with the ashes of the Dewandaru tree. At midnight make a campfire, then make satay from animals kalong. After that sprinkle this salt around your body. Stay tuned and you'll get a clue where you can find the cave."
Arya Pamuji received the parcel, and then looked down to say thank you. As he lifted his head, he was surprised that the wood-carrying grandfather had already disappeared from before him.
"grandfather, cake....!!"
Arya Pamuji turned left and right looking for the mysterious grandfather but did not find him.
He finally continued his journey and intended to catch kalong to be served as satay.
When it was dark, the herd of callong began to look active.
"it's time...."
Arya Pamuji immediately found a place to catch a kalong. He hid behind a tree. Surely not long after there were some bats approaching. And finally there is also a call approaching.
With his speed, he immediately caught the necklace. It didn't take long to gather up to ten calluses.
Arya Pamuji immediately made a bonfire, and sprinkled salt that had mixed the ashes of the Dewandaru tree. Then he started meditating.

"sir..when is Arya back ?" ask Ranti in the middle of the night.
Ki Basuki sipped his coffee for a while before then answering the question of the princess.
"it won't be three days before he should be home. Don't worry, nothing will happen to your future husband Ranti."
Despite having received an explanation from her father, Ranti still thought to her future husband, Arya Pamuji.
"Reply to sir's room, want to rest.." while stepping towards his room. In Ranti's room lay down her body but her mind was still drifting far away, trying to look at Arya Pamuji.

By midnight, the wind was blowing. Arya Pamuji but still solemn in his meditation.
"Young man, why did you invite us.What business is it ?"
Hearing a sound, Arya Pamuji opened his eyes slowly. And he saw a tall black figure like a gemderuwo he met at Ki Basuki's place.
"sorry to interrupt, but I need something." Arya pamuji explained.
"what are you looking for exactly..?" ask the big guy.
"i was sent by Ki Basuki to find the cave and take the heirloom inside."
The figure who heard Arya Pamuji's wish just laughed.
"haha...."
"Heiii.Why are you laughing ?" ask Arya Pamuji.
"know young man, I can show you where the cave is but if the heirloom in it you take, you'll get a curse."
"what do you mean by a curse...?" ask Arya Pamuji.
"yes.you will get a curse. Are you sure you still want to go there ?"
"i've arrived here and there's no reason for me to return without success."
"alright.I will take you there, but let me eat first satay kalong made..."
Not waiting for the approval of Arya Pamuji, the black figure immediately ate satay kalong with greed. After spending all the satay, he immediately drove Arya Pamuji to the cave in question.
"i can only get you here, the rest you can continue on your own."
The black figure then turned into black smoke and disappeared in the darkness of the night. Arya Pamuji observed the cave for a while before finally deciding to go inside.
