Sacred Tomb
The Sunan Giri Pilgrimage



At 12:15, the ringing of the school bell home sign rang. The students were scattering out to the gate and there were also those who headed for the parking lot.


Damar stood by the roadside in front of the gate waiting for Shinta


"Mas, so to his Gresik town," Shinta said.


"Yes Shinta, didn't you buy clothes?'


"No, my clothes are two cabinets. Muslim clothes hijab also exists, rarely worn."


"Yes, come on."


Tin tin tin tin..!


Ita's jazz honda car drove slowly, slowly,


"Theshinta... Don't forget Damar's brother at dear."


"Yes" said Shinta.


Tin tin tin tin..!


"Shinta," call Sari while driving,


"Have I got along..? Good yes!"


"Hem."


*****


Mobik Fortuner drove towards the direction of Gresik district.


In the mobi Shinta said,


"Whose car is this..?"


"My car."


"Many money dong, can buy a Fortuner car and BMW."


"It's a car in love friend."


"Hemm, good friend of his."


"Yes my friend is a good person. Know I don't have a car, love. I can't drive a car."


"I just bought a Fortuner and a jazz honda, got to work hard. Eeee, you're delicious, stay in love."


"I can have this car, thanks to you, thanks to your kindness. And I will always remember your kindness until my death."


"Can't you?"


"Yes you who gave me three million money to create an account number in my name, in Asian banks and BRI banks first. With that account number, a lot of money goes to my account number."


"Where are we going Mas Damar..? It's already in the new suburb" said kang Mamat.


"We're looking for lunch first.


Find a restaurant can be, a shack shop can be."


"All right, Mommy."


"The Mama's man."


"Yes Non."


"You if you call my Papa sir.


Call me Miss.


If you call Mas Damar, you should be Master, like kang Mamat calling my Papa.


Kan Mas Damar, now boss kang Mamat."


"Alright Non, replied kang Mamat then deflected to the restaurant.


After the car is parked, Damar and Shinta get off.


"Kang, let's have lunch first."


"All right, sir."


After sitting down, a waitress approached and said,


"Please order, here's the menu guidebook."


"Order goat satay one, chicken satay one and gule one.


Drink one orange iced, slightly bitter black coffee one and two bottles of aqua."


"All right, sir."


Seeing Kang Mamat sitting on the front dining table chair, Damar approached and said,


"Kang, order a good meal yes, eat a full meal. Be healthy and strong if driving a car."


"Yes, sir."


"Solicit cigarettes."


"Mas, where are you going, how are you going," Shinta shouted.


"You change your shirt and pants."


"What's a change of clothes?"


"Yes, it's not good to walk around in school uniforms.


You change all of them. That's your shirt in the bag left in my room, I'm down in the car."


"All right."


"It's really nice that Hello Kity tattoo," Damar said smilingly.


"Hehehehe.


You see me undressing."


"That's a sign, I'm a normal guy."


After getting out of the car, Damar saw a writing board stuck on the side of the road.


*Land is sold over three hectares. Contact pt Aksa group. No. call 081...*


"Where are you going to cross the street?"


"You coming?"


"Can."


"Yoo."


After attacking the road, Damar lit a cigarette then saw the condition of the ground as well as the direction of the highway.


"What the hell is it, see this land.


Want to buy?"


"Yes, if it matches the price.


In a moment, I'm not calling PT Aksa's people."


"Hemmm, a lot of money.'


After hanging up the phone, Damar said softly,


"Say 15 billion."


"What, 15 billion..!!!


Where did you money come from, and why buy this land..?"


"That's a bit you," Damar said, then holding Shinta's arm and then crossing the road to Mejik's satay restaurant.


While eating, Damar called, after connecting,


"Good afternoon boss" said Angga director of Podomoro.


"Siang too.


Director Angga, because the Real Estate business license has not come out, and his office does not exist.


Please survey the three hectares of land on the highway from the outskirts of Gresik. I'm WA's address and phone number.


You bring your Marketing manager and secretary.


If housing is profitable, ask your secretary to buy it.


I want director Angga to move quickly. Now also to the location."


"Okay boss, we're leaving now."


"The matter of the land payment transaction, my assistant will settle. Bring him along.


The decision, tonight there must be news. You guys work late."


"Well boss."


*****


Hearing the phone conversation, Shinta began to understand a little, if this Damar has a Real Estate developer business.


After eating, Damar continued his journey to the city of Gresik.


While enjoying the puff of cigarette smoke, Damar said,


"Kang, I need one more driver."


"For what reason do we have two drivers" Shinta said.


"For Shinta's nighttime needs. If the driver one right, pity kang Mamat, night can not fuck his wife."


"Hemmm, the language is all about.


Isn't there another time what's wrong with the bin?"


Last night kang Mamat came home almost dawn."


"Where are you going at night, when you come home at dawn..?"


"Road - same path purel."


"Hem."


"There's a kang..?"


"It seems like there is a master.


Four days ago, there was a friend of mine a chauffeur job vacancy to me."


"What age is he, and is he experienced..?'


"Life 25 years, sir. 5 Years as a driver in the company."


"Later, if the break stops, you call yes.


If it's ok, tell him to start work tomorrow."


"Yes, sir."


"Already Adzan asar kang," said Damar,


"We seek the mosque yes kang, we pray."


'Yes Sir.


If you will, in front of it is the mosque of Sunan Giri."


"Sunan Giri who's kang..?'


"Sunan Giri wali songo Tuan."


"Oh yes, I know the history of guardian songo, but forget who the members are.


All I remember was Sunan Ampel Surabaya.


So, it's the same mosque his tomb ya kang."


"Yes Sir.


In front of the priesthood was his grave sunan Giri."


"I'm not under Mukena Mas, let alone I wear a gini mini skirt. Cook should go to the mosque and pilgrimage?"


"What's wrongwhat. It's smooth and white on her thighs. People see so cool his mind, do not think angry, added seneng see it."


"Hmmm.


Not a smile, but dirty mind look at my thighs. If you look at my thighs."


"Kang, look for a Muslim clothing store, yes" Damar said


*****


After buying two black robes and pings, as well as two headscarves and a prayer mat, Damar said,


"Just change clothes here, don't change clothes in the car."


"Yes, it's."


Shortly after changing clothes, Damar said,


"Oh Allah, gorgeous disposable black robes pink hijab."


*****


After praying with Shinta, Damar holds Shinta's hand for a pilgrimage to Sunan Giri's tomb.


When reading tahlil, sat an old man next to Damar, then the old man smiled and asked to shake hands.


Without a word, the old man continued to recite, until Damar finished his tahlil and came out of the tomb.


"Shinta, coffee first, yeah, at the stall."


"OKs. Shinta will accompany."


"The black coffee is a bit bitter one pack."


"Pudak pudak, by - by the city of Gresik let's please, by - by Sunan Giri," said the peddler.


"Sir, what is it," Shinta asked the coffee seller


"Sort of dodol Nyai. It tastes sweet and good."


"Mas, wasn't that the old man who was sitting next to us in front of the tomb," Shinta said.


"Yes, I'm going to the shop here. You lead me, pity that the road is limped."


"Yes Mas" said Shinta then walked up to the old man,


"I led Kek, do you want to go to the stall?"


"Yes, son."


Plan - plan Cake. Sit here, cake, lean near Mas Damar."


"Thank you, son."


"What do you want to drink?"


"Drink black coffee."


"Eat ya Kek" said Shinta.


"Yes, kid, just eat some rice."


"Alright Cake," said Shinta then ordered a meal at the stall next door.


"Buk, kare one and rice pecel use fried chicken. Chicken's two yes."


"Yes Bu Nyai. Just stay away."


*****


"It's for Grandpa, rice kare, it's for you mas, rice pecel.


With Grandpa eating, let his friend eat."


After eating and drinking, the grandfather sipped black coffee, then lit a cigarette of red salt shed.


While enjoying the smoke of cigarettes.


"Grandfather, be alone" asked Damar


"Yes, son."


"Where's the house, Cake?"


"Near here."


"Who's Grandpa's name."


"Grandfather Ahmad Mustofa's name


Who's the girl..?"


"She's named Shinta Kek my friend."


"She's a good, smart girl. Make him a friend in joy and sorrow.


He'll be a role model for a lot of people."


"Yes the cake."


"It's almost magrib, take your friend home now."


"Alright Cake.


If so, excuse me for saying goodbye first.


Assalamualaikum."


"Getishalight."


"Sir, here's a cigarette and an envelope for Grandpa. I have already paid for the food and coffee.


Assalamualaikum."


"Getishalight."


****


Fortuner car back to Surabaya.


Just entering the border of Surabaya Gresik, adzan magrib was heard reverberating.


"Kang, pray first."


"All right, sir."


***


Damar prayers congregate specifically for male lali, while Shinta congregates in a special place for women.


Finished the prayer at the last greeting Damar turned to the right, Damar was surprised to see the old grandfather in the stall earlier.


"Grandfather..?"


After the salaman, Grandpa Mustofa said,


"Go home, your friend is waiting for you."


"Alright Cake.


Assalamualaikum."


"Getishalight."
