"Why is it that day, the door is locked, Abah?" ask Ambu ya yah who disagree."

"Let Ranti go home, we can find out. because there are important things Abah wants to talk about." explained Mbah Abun, he wants the secret is the secret of husband and wife, not family. so that his son alone cannot know what he wants to do.

"Is that a secret, Mbah?"

"Iya Ambu." replied Mbah Abun while sitting back in his seat.then he began to tell the experience, for three days and two nights when he left his house. Ambu Jayah looked carefully at what was said by Mbah Abun, fearing that someone might pass by from what was told by her husband. "nah! so Ambu the story." concluded Mbah Abun ended the story.

"When do we start working?" Ask Abu Yayah who already understood what her husband was talking about, but she still wanted to know what Bah Abun's next plan was.

"Later ambu night!"

"Emang Abah is not tired, just returned home from a long trip, directly to work?"

"No, Ambu! Abah will not be tired of looking for a life for the family, which is important to continue to support all Abah activities."

"How about now, if you want to start working tonight?"

"Mom take the flowers in the yard! I want to take it with me, the same looking for leaves for supplies later tonight." Bah Abun replied while getting ready to go to the rice field.

"Well, seven sump colors?"

"Yeah!"

"Yes already! let's do it, let's go to work tonight." replied Abu Yayah as he got up from his seat, getting ready to follow what Mbah Abun did.

At night, when Ranti was asleep in her room. The couple began to carry out the ritual of slaughtering pigs. Ambu Yamah and Mbah Abun had burned incense, to start the ritual.

White smoke soared into his room space, the special fragrance filled their nasal cavities. After the initial ritual was enough, Mbah Abun then took Tamiang bamboo given by Prabu uwul-uwul, which was given by him, then fumigating Tamiang with frankincense Smoke. after it was felt enough, Mbah Abun turned the bamboo until it finally opened. made Ambu Yamah Although he had heard the story about the peculiarity of the bamboo. but when he looked directly, he was still amazed, astonished.

"Mother take care of the lantern, don't die! later If the fire in the lantern was wobbling, and the water in the basin was turbulent.then the ash must quickly turn off the Lantern, and throw the water into the kitchen."remember Mbah Abun in a soft voice, before he went to work.

Ambu Yamah just nodded her head ready to do what her husband told her. After finishing delivering the message, Bah Abun also walked out of the room to the kitchen. After being in the kitchen, she opened the door, and, the cold began to burst upon the body. But that did not make Mbah Abun undo the intention.

Mbah Abun quickly came out of his house, then closed the door again. After being outside, he stood in the darkness of the night, which seemed to be illuminated by the light of the Moon. Making things around the side of Abun's house look so dark that night, so much so that the fingertips were not visible.

After the shirt was worn, Bah Abun's body was transformed into a very large wild boar, with fangs so long that felt by Bah Abun, he still felt like there was no meaningful change to his body shape.but that changed his vision which was originally limited, now the vision could be clear, like being illuminated by the moonlight.

Mbah Abun returned to pay attention to the surrounding area, after it was felt safe he was in the form of a boar running towards the garden.he was about to go to the house of Pak Haji Tamim, but after wearing the talisman clothes, he wanted to go to the garden, not only his vision became sharp, the instinct of bah abun also became sharp. when he wanted to pass the big road he stopped first for a while. because he felt that someone was going to pass through the street.After a while of waiting, there were two people who passed by with flashlights, while chatting. Mbah Abun entered back into the garden, so as not to be caught by the light of the rays released by the flashlight.Bah Abun's heart felt racing, afraid he was caught by passers-by.

But blessing, the man did not know there was a pig beside the road. After the two men passed by, Mbah Abun again continued his journey. until finally he arrived at the house of Pak Haji Tamim. The pig went to the side of the house, Mbah Abun also did not understand why he had to walk to the side of the house, He seemed to follow what was ordered by the amulet he was wearing.

After being beside the house, the Pig began to approach Lesung, which is commonly used for traditional rice milling.It was there that Mbah Abun saw there were luminous objects scattered, like a little light coming out of a flashlight that likes to be in a match.  Abun began to pick up the luminous objects, then put them in his pouch.

After leaving the house of Pak Haji Tamim, he continued to the homes of other people.he continued to pick up glowing objects that were around Lesung. Mbah Abun continued to do work from home to home until finally he felt exhausted and decided to return to his home and plan tomorrow he would return.

Arriving at home quickly he concentrated on calling the owner of the talisman suit. After finishing the spell finally by itself the talisman shirt opens, then Bah Abun returns to his original form of a human.

After taking off his amulet, he returned to wearing the clothes that had been removed and then went into the house, through the kitchen door. After being in the kitchen he went to the granary where the rice was stored, he shakes the dress of Wisdom on his barn.

Clik! clique! clique!

From the shirt came a few objects that Mbah Abun collected from the mortar of the citizens. After all there was nothing left, Mbah Abun went back into the room to see Ambu Yamah still silent, staring at the still burning lantern. Maybe he was worried that the lantern was dead.

"Ouch!" said Ambu Yamah who felt shocked to see the sudden arrival of her husband.

"Why ambu! just turn off the lights. Let's go to sleep!" Exclaimed Bah Abun who felt exhausted.

Got orders from her husband, Ambu Jayah Manggut, then she obeyed all the orders of Mbah Abun. ranging from turning off the resin and throwing water in the basin. then tidying the offerings so as not to be stepped on or hit by rats when they fall asleep.

"How's Abah, results?" ask Ambu Yamah who is lying next to her husband.

"Abu results! Yes, let's go to sleep! it's night." replied Bah Abun without opening his eyes, then shortly after that a very loud snoring came out of Bah Abun's lips, just like a wild boar on strike.

Seeing her husband who had fallen asleep, Ambu Yamah just stared pusher at the face that looks faint.he felt sad because he had to do something unusual with people to do.

"Hopefully this is our last fight!" murmured Abu Yayah then he laid his body, then covered his body with a sheath. So that he did not feel cold.not to wait long, Ambu Jayah also fell asleep, so that their snoring was simple to each other.

The next morning, as usual they were preoccupied with making rice cooker from different bamboo matting, now Mbah Abun uses a talisman knife given by the demon king, to complete his work.

The three of them were always active in work, until that day could finish fifteen rice cooker. Because when yesterday Mbah Abun was away, Ambu Yamah and Ranti they continued Bah Abun's pending work. as much as they could, so that day Mbah Abun just tidied up the work of his son and wife.

In the afternoon, to the house of Mbah Abun there was a guest.he explained that he was from outside the village of Ciandam. Even though it was not explained, Mbah Abun already knew that the person was not a resident of his village. Because of his shoulder he is very familiar with anyone who lives in his village.
