Jaka and Putri were on their way to Dava's house last night in the form of a spirit he had promised to come visit this morning. By riding Jaka's metic motorbike this time the Princess is sitting in the back at Jaka's bonceng.

“Jaka is still far from Dava's house?,” asked the Princess.

“It's still in the middle of the city Princess, yes about ten more minutes we arrive, yes,” replied Jaka who was stopping his motorbike but with the engine still on because they were at the intersection next to the city park called Rojo Gardens and the red light was on red stop sign.

“Jaka this is where is the city park?,” asked the princess who was amazed when she saw the beauty of Kebon Rojo city center park.

“Ia Putri, this is the name of Kebon Rojo park the oldest park in the city which was renovated by the regents who served here alternately from time to time. So now it becomes so beautiful complete with culinary tours and playgrounds there is also a sports arena,” said Jaka explained.

“it feels like I'm looking into this park Jaka,” said Putri rolled her eyes as a code to seduce Jaka to be invited into the garden Kebon Rojo.

“Later yes Put, I will have promised Dava to visit his house is not good if it makes yes wait,” said Jaka.

“It's a pity I follow what you said my prince,” said the Princess smiled spoiled.

“Halah start deh bucinnya,” jelap Jaka while pinching the cheek Princess lovingly.

“Aduh pain loh,” shouted Princess complaining of pain.

“Eh sick yes sorry-sorry,” said Jaka began to tease the Princess as if the world belonged to them both others contracted it, just, that is if it can be made a parable of intimacy shown by the two of them because it makes some riders on the left-right they feel jealous.

The traffic lights turn on green a sign that the rider is allowed to walk again. Jaka began to drive back his metallic motorbike now turn left from the side intersection of Kebon Rojo park straight to the west.

Ten minutes have passed Jaka and Putri have now passed through the welcome gate of Banjar Dowo village border. The atmosphere turned foggy even suddenly becoming increasingly cold.

“Then my feelings are not good dear,” said Putri added tightly a hug on Jaka's waist.

“Ia, yes, why there is Fog we are not in Trowulan yes (Trowulan a village of origin Majapahit kingdom that if the morning is always full of dense fog which strangely fog only appears in the area while the surrounding area no mist),” says Jaka.

“Last here is not like this feeling, now passing through this gate is getting into the village getting creepy huh. Our Put handle accelerates the speed of our motor to quickly reach,” said Jaka.

Jaka increasingly speed up the speed of his motorbike but some time he was again surprised by some people who walked like a pale-faced robot like a corpse and silent a thousand speechless languages. So that he slowed down the speed of his motorbike with the intention of wanting to know what really happened in this village.

“Jaka why slow down his net?,” said Putri whining.

“Before a while it's a pity how many people walk like a statue of me so suspect what is this?,” chirped Jaka.

“Have Jaka come on later we ask Dava just what is going on in this village, Dava village is still far from here?,” asked the Princess while continuing to cover her eyes began to fear.

“Not far it has been seen Dukuhan Banjar Kerep. The place where Dava's house is located,” said Jaka.

“Ya has come,” said Princess.

Not long Jaka and Putri have passed the front of the alley to the house of Pak Haji Kardi. Coincidentally his house is not far from the alley, passing the Jaka and Putri alley was shocked back with some residents who were in pasung in front of the house was in a state of dumbstruck like a dazed person.

“What is this we have just visited after a long time not here. We are greeted by various kinds of very strange events like this,” grumbled Jaka to spur the motor into the front yard of the house of Pak Haji Kardi who was waiting in front of the house with Dava.

“Assallamualaikum Pakde,” says Jaka.

“Waallaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,” Pak Haji Kardi and Dava replied in unison as the Princess went down and greeted Pak Haji Kardi. While Jaka parked the bike and followed the Princess shaking hands with Pak Haji Kardi and Dava.

“Pakde what's wrong with this village?,” Jaka immediately asked about the strange events he saw along the way.

“Have entered first Mas, sit first and continue to copy the new story,” said Dava invites Jaka and Putri to enter the house.

“Eh Jaka has arrived,” said Umi Emi while carrying several glasses of hot coffee and warm tea and put them on the table.

“Let's drink first Jaka and Putri,” said Umi.

“Bude how are you?,” asked Jaka to rant while shaking Umi Emi's hand and kissed the back of her hand followed by Putri doing the same thing and then sipping a glass of coffee served.

“Actually what is this all Pakde?,” said Jaka again asked.
