Flashbacks, flashbacks,
Fifty years ago.
The night sky was a little cloudy, I don't know, because cloudy clouds also actually can not be seen when the sun has changed sif with the moon.
But...
Looking at the moon that is not perched in the sky tonight, young Ardi Subrata concluded that the sky is cloudy.
Ardi Subrata sat dumbstruck on the back porch of his house, no coffee or cigarettes accompanying, because indeed he did not want both.
Ah ain't...
Not because he was healthy, but because he was not feeling good about anything.
Three months...
Yes, three months already his wife left this mortal world, making him officially a rich young widower, but twisted and can find another wife.
But, Ardi Subrata did not think about it at all.
For him only two women in his life, his former lover, and also the wife, both of whom are now equally gone.
Ardi Subrata is very confused, thinking about his life so lonely.
His only son has now returned to Japan to continue his studies, while his siblings have gone nowhere.
Ardi Subrata lost them since he began to focus on building the Alpha Centauri company, his extraordinary busyness made him forget the existence of his family, who consciously everything suddenly disappeared.
The wind blew softly, seen the leaves of Acacia trees that grew in the backyard of the house twitched small.
Young Ardi Subrata sighed, it felt like his chest was so tight, wanted to cry for his loneliness as a human who actually needed the presence of family and the closest people.
Till...
Unintentionally the young Ardi Subrata's eyes saw a golden light moving among the flowers growing in the corner of the courtyard.
Ardi Subrata who was surprised to stand up from his seat because he saw the light was quite strange.
A curious Ardi Subrata got up from his seat, walking towards the moving light.
The closer the light is to look like a fluorescent of something, Ardi Subrata also accelerates his steps.
Till...
Young Ardi Subrata almost jumped, shocked mixed with fear of seeing a snake as big as an adult's thigh was there.
The snake as big as an adult's thigh suddenly stopped, and the snake's cleavage lifted its head out from behind the flowerbed.
A head with a crown on it, a small crown with a gemstone in the middle.
The snake with glowing golden scales changed direction towards Ardi Subrata who staggered back and fell down onto the paving block.
"Candle..."
The snake made a sound, mentioning the name of Mr. Ardi Subrata.
Hearing that, of course the young Ardi Subrata grew even more frightened.
He kept moving backwards avoiding the snake.
"Ardiii... This is Naaak's mother... It's Ibuu..."
The voice sounded again.
"No... No!! No way!!"
Ardi Subrata was scared to death, he kept retreating to avoid the snake that kept moving towards him.
"Trust Ardi... Trust me, this is your mother, son, all your brothers are with me now."
Said the snake.
"Lied!! No way!!"
Ardi Subrata resolutely refused to believe the words of the snake.
"You must be an evil creature who just wants to fool me, get rid of it!! Get lost!!"
Ardi Subrata who then remembered the red stone pomegranate given his lover who he made his ring stone then pointed the stone towards the snake.
The snake with golden scales bounced back as soon as young Ardi Subrata pointed the pomegranate red stone at his ring.
"Ardi, why would you hurt your mother with that pomegranate red stone!!"
Angry at the snake.
Ardi Subrata immediately turned his eyes towards the swimming pool that was nearby because his eyes were glare at the light.
Until the light goes back down, and...
"Look at Ardi! Look here!!"
The voice sounded commanding.
But Ardi Subrata certainly did not want to obey the order, instead of looking back at the snake, Ardi Subrata just try to stand up to quickly run from there.
Yet...
Srrrtt...
The golden scarf grabbed Ardi Subrata's leg, making Ardi Subrata who was almost standing fall back, and his position close to the pool made him slip and fall into the pool.
When it fell, Ardi Subrata accidentally saw the shadow of the woman who was exactly his mother.
The woman was wearing a cloth with a golden-colored scales and a small crown on her head.
"You are the only one born pure human, I thought you would be a dutiful child, you are the same as your father, unwilling to accept Mom's situation and refusing to be with Mom."
The voice was still heard in the young Ardi Subrata's ears as he sank to the bottom of the pool.
"The child of your offspring will meet evil snakes, do not blame Mother if it can not help."
Ardi Subrata lost consciousness.
Whether how long he drowned, or just as he drowned and was unconscious, he was immediately rescued by his guards.
But clearly, Ardi Subrata was consciously already in the Hospital.
The doctor said he had been unconscious for more than five days.
Flashback over.
**--------------**
Zion looked at her Grandfather, her eyes were pushy, her expression seemed to imply between believing and refusing to believe.
"Secondly Grandpa tried to convince himself that Grandpa was only dreaming, and gradually Grandpa finally could forget about Zion. But..."
Grandpa's hands look shaky.
Zion who saw the grandfather seemed frightened finally grabbed the grandfather's two hands.
"Don't be afraid Kek, I'll try my best to take care of grandfather."
Said Zion.
Grandpa looks smiling.
"They turned out to be Zion, Grandpa's closet, ask Zizi over there."
"I mean grandpa?"
"If the evil snakes will not be able to face themselves, ask for help from his grandfather's mother, maybe, if Zizi comes, he will be accepted with open arms."
Grandpa.
"Since when did Grandpa know the door to their world was in that room?"
Ask Zion.
"Just this morning, when a big black snake suddenly was in the room, and then saw another snake with golden scales emerge from the direction of the closet room, the black snake had suddenly turned into a servant."
"Servant? Who's Kek?"
Grandpa shook his head.
"Grandfather didn't see his face as he instantly shifted his face and ran quickly out of the room."
Zion sighed.
"But there were three servants in charge of entering the room. Septi who brought the meal, Erna who brought the medicine, the third Tini, she who usually took the laundry and changed the bedcover."
"Those three people, one of them is a snake."
Zion mutters.
Ardi Subrata sighed.
"The golden snake entered and disappeared in the closet room as soon as the servant's incarnate black snake left."
