Jataye

Meanwhile, in the Kediri city area precisely in the area of the city of Kediri district, a subdistrict called Pare.

There lies a large cottage owned by Haji Hadi father of the Princess who seems to have been empty because all the santri have been repatriated due to a strange outbreak that is sweeping the city.

Pondok Haji Hadi is located in the village of Mbadas a border village between the city of Jombang and the city of Kediri to the south.

Mbadas village is divided into two areas half the village north into Jombang area, while the south of the village into Pare district Kediri city residency. Pondok pesantren Haji Hadi entered the Kediri region because it is located in the south of Mbadas village.

Pare sub-district includes a silk trade route from Surabaya to the city of Kediri so that this area becomes a separate city next to the magnificent city of Kediri and then becomes an independent residency expansion area.

But it was a few years ago since the outbreak of a strange pandemic plagued the city. All of a sudden turned into a quiet silence like an uninhabited dead city.

In the rice field area that divides the middle of Mbadas village stretches from west to east in addition to the North of Haji Hadi hut precisely along the bamboo forest on the edge of the rice field that also extends along the entire stretch of rice fields.

It was there that the santri-santri dalem of the Haji Hadi hut concentrated on setting up small outposts to help residents who were infected with the plague.

They are devoting themselves to society. Devote all knowledge and abilities and energy and thoughts to treat the citizens who come.

“How about Mr. Haji residents who are infected with the disease outbreak continue to arrive non-stop,” said Gus Jayak who was participating in treating some residents by road rukiah.

Gus Jayak is one of the main Ustad of Pondok Pesantren Haji Hadi. Iya always accompany Haji Hadi wherever the kiai go, Gus Jayak must be beside him.

He was very young in his thirties but had a good knowledge of alternative medicine with prayers from the Quran. So that made him elected to be the right hand of the main leader of the cottage supervising several other senior santri.

“Well how else Gus. They come we treat, it is the duty of Kakati to devote himself to society,” said Haji Hadi while continuing to rotate his prayer beads and recite remembrance in the heart.

Although while walking or talking with other santri Haji Hadi never stop turning the babble from his hands.

“Aduh Pak Haji, please hot,” grumbled some patients infected with the plague who were being treated in several emergency tents set up by the santri.

The pungent stench from some patients' bodies that began to severe looks like festering boils that blister all over the body.

“Please Gus, Mas santri, Pak Haji we are not strong anymore?,” said one of the residents who was infected with the outbreak.

But there are also some residents who just lie asleep lined up like a shade fish in a basket sold in the market they are not alive ya not dead eyes bulging but unconscious.

“Yes Allah what the sin of this city was so long ago that you caused a terrible disaster like this Oh Allah,” shouted Gus Jayak was apparently very upset, he said, tired and mixed with despair so that he threw a prayer with words as if snapping.

“Hei Gus Jayak Patient Gus, we are all very tired, be patient Gus let us face this disaster together there must be a way out, God must give a way out, God must give a way out, there is not one disease that has no cure, is that not the promise of God. But we must patiently wait for signs from Allah Gus,” said Gus Tato someone who was once the leader of the sadistic gang who had been made aware and converted by Haji Hadi. Called Gus Tattoo because his body is still full of tattoos.

“Oh he, Mr Haji Ning Putri has not returned huh from Jombang?,” said Gus Jayak who secretly from the past also put his heart on the Princess but because the Princess chose Jaka so Gus Jayak retreated alon-alon alias retreated slowly.

“Entah he did not want to go home he said still at home. Then there is her future husband Jaka,” said Haji Hadi.

“Lucky yes Mas Jaka it get Ning Princess who is very sweet,” said Gus Jayak downcast sadly.

“Already Gus Jajak later there must be a Muslimah or Ustazah who will be your wife forget my son,” said Haji Hadi who realized the sadness of Gus Jajak.

“He was very lucky that Mas Jaka,” timpal Gus Tattoo.

“Tattoo Gus is not a lucky Jaka but we are from the Princess family who are lucky to get a prospective daughter-in-law like Jaka who has the ability of a myriad of qualified knowledge,” said Haji Hadi praised Jaka who made Gus Jayak more immersed in his sadness.

“Already let's treat again the sick,” said Haji Hadi.

Cracks... Kraaac ... Kiak.... Herons....

“What sound is this Mr Haji goosebumps I heard it?,” chirps Gus Tato.

“Ia Pak Haji like Dares bird (bird in Javanese mythology kind of owl messenger Death),” said Gus Jayak.

“What else is this?,” said Haji Hadi as he looked up to see what was flying above them.

It is true that a very large golden bird was flying around the village of Mbadas. But not a Dares bird apparently flying around the village of Mbadas, but a large Garuda bird named Jatayu (Burung Garuda who can talk in Hindu mythology mounts Lord Vishnu/Narayan was also a friend of Lord Rama). A young man jumped down from the top of the Jatayu bird.

“There came Pak Haji he came down from the top of the bird,” said Gus Jayak pointed towards the figure who jumped down from the top of the bird Jatayu.

“Assallamualaikum Abah,” said the figure of the person who came down earlier turned out to be Jaka.

“Waalaikumsalam loh Nak Jaka toh,” replied Pak Haji Hadi while welcoming the position of the hand of his former son seen Jaka immediately kiss the back of Haji Hadi's hand a sign of respect to the prospective in-laws.

“You who boarded the Jatayu?,” asked Haji Hadi.

“Enggeh Abah (ia Abah) I came here with a message from my teacher Haji Kasturi,” said Jaka.

“Oh my friend that one, is the message Nak?,” asked Haji Hadi curious.

“Stop treating those who are sick Abah. Those who are infected with a strange pandemic outbreak are those who in their lives like to do crime, gambling and drunkenness, often go to the brothels, those who often hang out and gossip their neighbors spread slander and grants. Those who are indifferent to their neighbor and do not heed what is forbidden by Allah and the Messenger of Allah,”.

“But we as fellow Muslims should not allow them to be strayed Nak. Is not the science and knowledge that we have a gift from God we should practice and we use to help others?,” said Haji Hadi.

“True our Abah in Jombang has tried as you are now but all the efforts we do in vain though healed they will die in a few days again when the disease strikes them again,” said Jaka.

“You are indeed Nak Jaka and that I have proven myself,” said Haji Hadi.

“Maybe this is the will of the Power as a punishment for us that we as humans have too many sins that we make,”.

“Then what more message did you bring from my old friend?,” said Haji Hadi.

“We got word that a horde of wild pigs is approaching you from the east, I and other friends of T O H organization have dispelled some who are in our region Abah,"

"This pig is not a wild boar because he can change into a human being, this pig is a pig from the demon kingdom so you are careful of all possibilities, because these pigs are so savage that they are headed is the mass destruction of humans,” said Jaka said.

“Astagfirullah haladzim,” well Nak Jaka thanks for this very important info. Say my regards to Haji Kasturi too to thank him,” Haji Hadi said.

“Any Abah at any time you need help just contact us through one of you who is able to communicate by telepathy, because passing electronic goods like cellphone is not safe anymore,” said Jaka.

“Siap Mas Jaka we will collect the remaining santri to guard at the border,” said Gus Jayak.

“Gus Invite thank you,” said Jaka.

“That I say Assalamualaikum,” said Jaka again jumped quickly up above the back of Jatayu and then went back.

“Waalaikumsalam,” says simultaneously from Haji Hadi, Gus Jayak and Gus Tato.

“Gus Jajak already know that compared to Mas Jaka samean (you) lost far, hehehe...,” said Gus Tato teasing Gus Jajak.

“What the hell is this Gus Tattoo? Already let's prepare our tough santri. We fight the boars of the forest,” said Gus Jayak went roaring away.

“Gus wait?,” said Gus Tato ran after Gus Jayak who went Haji Hadi just shook his head to see the behavior of the two santri.
