“Widya, bring this necklace. Grandpa wants to see the pendant of the necklace.” Rama said to Widya.
Hearing her grandfather's words, Widya got up from her seat. He then approached his grandfather who now looks a little impatient to make sure the symbol of the necklace is currently in his hands. After arriving in front of his grandfather, Widya handed him the necklace.
“This is Grandpa necklace.”
“Kohar, get my glasses.” Rama orders Kohar, butler of their home. Although now he can still see the symbol in the pendant in his hand, but Rama wants to make sure again with his glasses.
“Good Mr.”
Not long after, Rama receives glasses from his butler. He immediately put on those glasses. Rama carefully observed the symbol on the pendant.
Rama found a locket like this several times. Pendant with a symbol of an eagle wearing a crown. Even one of his men once said to see a necklace with a pendant like this on sale in the market.
What Rama wants to make sure is, whether this pendant has special characteristics that are not owned by pendants on the market. The feature is a special engraving of the series marker from the pendant. Rama was seen several times turning back the pendant in his hand.
The rest of the family only saw Rama who was currently busy with the pendant. They themselves did not understand what his grandfather was looking for from the pendant. All they can do is wait.
Widya felt a little strange about what her grandfather was doing. The liotin is a pendant with a fairly market model. His schoolmate alone had the exact same pendant as the pendant his grandfather held. Pendant with a symbol of an eagle wearing a crown.
Today, Widya's grandfather looks like he is looking for a differentiator between the pendant in his hand and the one on the market. As short as Widya's knowledge, what distinguishes the pendant from those on the market is the material.
On the market, such liotin is made from stainless steel, some of which are slightly expensive made from silver. The one his grandfather held was gold. Whether it was real gold or just bronze, Widya did not know.
If so, his grandfather does not need to flip back the locket to find a difference, right? What else was his grandfather looking for from the locket?
After five minutes of struggling with the pendant, a look of shock was clearly visible on Rama's face. “This is impossible.” Rama half shouted.
“What's Dad?” Doni asked after seeing his father's expression.
Rama did not care about his son's words. He then gave a new order to the butler of his family. “Kohar get magnifying glass. I want to see more clearly the small carvings on this pendant.”
“What's the matter Dad?” Ask Doni again. “What did you find in that locket?”
“Something that can change the fate of our family in the future. The appearance of this pendant will have a big impact on our family. If we make the right choice, our families will succeed. But, if one chooses, our family will be history only.”
“So, I need to ascertain the authenticity of these engravings. Therefore, I need a magnifying glass to make sure everything.” Obviously Rama.
“What does grandfather mean? I don't get it. Why can a necklace affect the sustainability of our family?” Ask Gayatri wonder.
Is that the existence of the locket is a sign? But what will happen? Will there be a major disaster? Why does his grandfather still believe such things?
“The appearance of this necklace is a sign of Gayatri.”
“The owner of this necklace is someone who will give a big shake in the country. Therefore, the appearance of this necklace can affect the sustainability of our family. If we are friends with the owner of this necklace, then our family life will be more prosperous. If we become his enemy, then our family will end up as history.”
“Indeed, what great is the owner of the necklace so Grandpa said something like this?” Ask Widya.
It was hard for Widya to believe this remark of her grandfather. Most likely the owner of the necklace is Andi, who a while ago came home from here. There was no way Andi could become what his grandfather had said.
Gave a great shock to this country? For Widya it was quite impossible. After all, Andi is just someone who just graduated from High School. What shocks can a child like him make. It's not that Widya underestimates, it's just that it can't be imagined by Widya.
Especially from Widya's observation, Andi is not from a rich family. At least not a wealthy family in Surabaya. But even if he is from out of town, if he has the potential to give a big shock to this country, at least many people know him, right?
Widya had never heard the name of an Andi in a rich child's neighborhood before. Moreover, the achievement that the young man had made, Widya did not hear it at all. On what basis did his grandfather say that.
“It seems I need to say this to you guys. Three hundred and fifty years ago, our ancestor was actually just a hauler at the port. At that time, arguably our ancestors were very poor people.”
“But all that changes with the appearance of someone who has a necklace with a symbol of an eagle wearing a crown. By following that person, the fate of our ancestors changed.”
“Although at that time was a period of colonization where the natives were very difficult to start a business, but, the person easily ran his business. Although there was a difficulty that he experienced, he easily overcame it. As if there was an invisible hand that helped him.”
“Then, as a subordinate to the person, our ancestors were given a business by him, the textile business, which we still maintain today. After dividing some of his business to his subordinates, the person disappeared.”
“More than a hundred years later, our ancestors also met the owner of the same necklace. Each of their necklaces, has a special symbol. So even though there is the same necklace, but the symbol will be no one can imitate it.”
“The owner of this second necklace is a descendant of the person our ancestors have met. This incident happened several times. Unfortunately the appearance of the owner of this necklace is uncertain. So, we can't predict when he will appear. And now the owner of the same necklace mucul.” Obviously Rama.
This was what Rama was looking for from the pendant he was holding. A special symbol that is difficult to imitate. His father clearly recorded this history. For generations, the leader of the Jayantaka family was required to read the book.
This is done so that the future successor to the Jayantaka family will not miss the owner of the necklace. Jayantaka family members should try to befriend the necklace owner if the person actually shows up.
Or if it is not possible for them to make friends, at least the members of the Jayantaka family do not make the owner of the necklace as their enemy. If so, a great disaster would befall their families.
“So according to Dad he is the Successor?” Ask Doni.
“Yes. Although I'm not sure about a hundred percent yet, but this necklace is real. This is the necklace of the successor.”
Just as Rama finished talking, Kohar came carrying a magnifying glass in his hand. Without waiting for Kohar to come to him, Rama got up from his seat and approached the butler of his family. He then snatched the magnifying glass from Kohar's hand.
Seeing his father like that, Doni also started to rise from his seat. He approached his father. The man was curious about the carvings that were there. He wanted to see the carvings.
With a magnifying glass in his hand, Rama again checked the small carvings in the pendant. There he saw the small carvings clearly. The engraving is a letter in Sanskrit that is carved spread in several parts of the pendant.
If written, the letters can be assembled to form a sentence. ‘Sang Seventh Generation Successor.’ That's how the Sanskrit language is if interpreted in Indonesian. Seeing this, Rama became more convinced by his assumption.
