" ask the grandmother kindly with a smile, gone was the fear of the two to the grandmother, "ooh turns out this grandmother is a fortune teller" whispered dira to akira. And Akira responded with a smile. Without thinking long, he agreed to the grandmother's invitation and invited Akira also along with him.
The grandmother took them to a small temple located not far from them. And they followed from behind, and they were told to pray according to their own convictions before they were to be predicted. Akira dira also obeyed the order of the grandmother after finishing praying the two of them alternately shuffling the bamboo glass, which was previously proffered by the grandmother where the big bamboo glass contains the blade of bamboo blades, and,, dira first tried to shake the bamboo glass until one of the bamboo slats jumped out and after that Akira did the same.
While the grandmother picked up the bamboo slats that came out, both owned by Dira and akira and saw the numbers listed on the bamboo. Then the grandmother went to the temple to match the number on the bamboo slats with the chest containing the divination sheet. Then the grandmother brought the sheet in front of the two of them to be read the prophecy.

"this is a verse in Chinese, you don't understand? " said the grandmother who saw the expression just now, "grandmother read to you one by one" said the grandmother with a smile.
Then the grandmother returned to focus on reading the results of the prophecy dira and Akira. Grandma seemed to calmly read the inscription on the sheet, then she read the other sheet and noticed the faces of her and Akira alternately. His face was no longer calm now exuded a serious gurat on his face then he sighed.

"what grandma saw from your prophecy, the results of your predictions are related" he said making dira and akira confused
"meaning? " ask Akira and grandma smiled
"you are good, surely you are not Indonesian, other than because of work affairs you are carrying out certain trusts and will open your origin" said the grandmother
Akira and dira are certainly very astonished by the words of the grandmother who is very precise. "in Indonesia you will find your destiny, good and bad destiny will come together,, and,, but grandma believes you can mature through it, always think positive ya mas, and hearty if doing something do not you ignore and not focus because it will endanger you, and,, you're a good boy, forget the past and make peace with the future".

Grandma just smiled while holding her arms and said "no need to be light, grandma is happy to meet you" he said while looking at her and akira clingy. "you have to stay harmonious and compact no matter what happens in the future, you are good children". Then grandma holds the hand akira "good light, tipped cah ayu yes you can be wise" said grandma.
