Childhood


“Kakek Buyut Vivi wants to ask what the hell is done by the puppeteer when performing puppet shows usually. Grandpa Buyut dalang Vivi wants to know Grandpa dong,” chirps Vivi little who is in the hand of Grandpa Buyut Dalang Sakri in her left hand while in the right hand Grandpa Buyut Dalang Sakri is holding Jaka who is engrossed in licking ice cream in his hand.


“Dalang is the one doing Ndok puppet. So that moves all puppets yes dalang. All puppets must obey what the puppeteer says, want to be taken where the play is up to the puppeteer. As long as the puppet's play hasn't been said,"


"Players must resign themselves to wait their turn in the box until they are removed to play. After completion will definitely be replaced by another puppet play and the puppet whose play is finished put again in the box so on as Ndok's life continues to spin like a wheel,” said Grandpa Buyut Dalang Sakri explained.


“Oh so yes cake,” said Vivi did not seem to understand and understand what Grandpa Buyut explained, Vivi said, his eyes were only attracted to the yellow ice cream that kept on licking Jaka in his hands.


“Jaka for dong ice cream?,” said Vivi with eyes and face like really want to enjoy the fresh ice cream in Jaka's hands.


“No want Vivi just buy it there herself, week..” said Jaka while continuing to mock Vivi by continuing to lick ice cream as if so delicious.


“Jaka was Grandpa Buyut asked to buy two ice creams why you buy only one?,” said Grandpa Buyut looking at Jaka.


“Tadi buy two Kok Grandpa Buyut, but the other one has finished Jaka eat, hehehe...,” said Jaka who deliberately spent his favorite ice cream with his small hands that still hold Grandpa Buyut's hand. And one of them continued to hold the ice cream while licking it while luring Vivi.


“That's Kek, Jaka is so naughty. Vivi wants ice cream cake, want ice cream,” little Vivi whines.


“ia, yes let's go buy ice cream later your sister Jaka not in share,” said Grandpa Buyut tried to calm Vivi but Jaka cuek as if he did not mind while continuing to lick the ice cream in his hand.


After buying ice cream at the food store and light snacks not far from where they walked. Drizzles began to descend soaking the village streets that have not yet been on the asphalt by the government is still a sand road that when the drought is very dusty.


“Why it rains not usually. This before my premonition magrib so bad?,” grumbled Grandpa Buyut speeding up his legs while holding Vivi and Jaka who are still so small and funny that it has not been able to catch the signal of concern Grandpa Buyut.


But little Jaka who was very sensitive to the presence of astral beings even though he was very small seemed to stop his steps while dumbfounded and dumbfounded by what he saw so unknowingly ice cream in the hand fell.


“What kind of a great-grandfather is that?, how like a two-horned animal in front but standing like a human, why is his body like a blood bath his face is spooky there are fangs again. Keep his feet and hands only have three cake fingers, he's who the cake why block us, why,” said Jaka described the details of the figure who confronted them to enter the house by standing right in front of the fence.


“Mana Jaka there is nothing you if you talk don't like to scare me so dong,” said Vivi who was out of fear so ask for a sling to Grandpa Buyut.


“Have not been seen Jaka close your eyes son,” pinta Grandpa Buyut because little Jaka has not been able to control the inner eye that is bestowed by God to him.


“Kakek Buyut this guy seems evil so Jaka just aim with the slingshot Jaka ya Kek,” said Jaka who suddenly held a slingshot in his hand.


“Loh you get from where the catapult Jaka was not there,” asked Grandpa Buyut who was surprised to see Jaka who was getting a slingshot out of nowhere.


“So there are crazy gentlemen walking fast like the wind Kek gave me this slingshot, already let me just aim this bad guy to leave, let me,” said Jaka aimed the slingshot at the astral creature standing in front of him.


Slaps...


A pebble was thrown from the slingshot towards the astral creature standing in front of him gliding. Jaka's first shot did not hit the target like a see through the creature.


“Kok can penetrate the strange Kek Jaka aim again ah less asem this bad guy,” said Jaka as his little fingers reached for the pebbles underneath.


“Oh yes, yes kek, Astagfirullah Jaka forgot,” said Jaka again directed a shot of Katapel by muttering while his tiny lips seemed to read bismillah in the continue verse chair but so soft.


Srot...


A catapult bullet from a pebble was thrown at the target right on the forehead of the astral creature. So that it disappeared instantly.


“Dalang Sakri may not be the moment I will kill your favorite grandson Jaka. Maybe when he grows up I'll come back to make calculations with him,"


"At the moment he's in your protection but someday when you're gone I'll come again to kill him, because if Jaka lives one day he will lead a war against my people and can prevent me from reaching my goal remember that,” the echoes of the voice of the astral figure who has been lost convey his messages.


“Kakek Buyut indeed Dava why should be killed Jaka wrong what?,” said Jaka so innocent with his funny and adorable face seemed confused to hear a message from an astral figure who had just disappeared.


“Yes because you are naughty Jaka so must be punished, uh kek who was killed kok spooky,” said Vivi still do not understand.


“Already let's go in let grandfather lock the fence first. You guys first there already magrib,” said Grandpa Buyut Dalang put Vivi down.


“Yee..., pray magrib,” shouted Jaka and Vivi together while running towards the house.


It appears that Grandpa Buyut Dalang Sakri is locking the front fence of the house. Suddenly a man dressed as a madman stood behind a fence that was as tall as an adult's chest.


“Assallamualaikum mas Sakri,” said the person.


“Eh you Dek Kasturi, why stand outside let's enter already magrib we worship together yuk,” said Grandpa Buyut Dalang Sakri.


“No Mas Sakri I just stopped by for a while,” replied a person called Dim Kasturi by Grandpa Buyut Dalang Sakri.


“Loh why rush after a long time we did not meet. Since our teacher died. Don't be that way we are indeed on different paths you chose your play path and I chose the play of knowledge of Java or Kejawenku, but you and I are brothers and sisters dropped by,” says Grandpa Buy Dalang Sakri.


“Mas I just shared the news that I have formed a group of children whose descendants have unique birthmarks. Including your son-in-law Ustad Wachid and his sisters joined in. As we first aspired while still studying together in our Master's store Kiai Ronggo,” said Ustad Kasturi.


“Sorry without your permission earlier I draped a slingshot of sandalwood on Jaka. My intention is to protect Jaka. You also know who stood in front of you just now he was the commander-in-chief of the astral nation and the demon he was Sarpala the son of the descendants of the half-Jinn and half-humans,” says Ustad Kasturi explains.


“Well I know Dik Kas, it's time we guard our city from the interference of half-stealth creatures like him, I can't help you much Dik Kas, I can't help you, but I promise I will teach Jaka all I can and protect him,” said Grandpa Buyut Dalang Sakri.


“That's enough for me Mas, I know Mas is a champion without a match let alone Sarpala half-stealth man. I was trembling when I heard the name Mas Ki Dalang Sakri,” said Ustad Kasturi.


“Do not exaggerate Dik Kas, this really does not want to stop by first,” said Grandpa Buyut Dalang Sakri.


“Matursuwon Mas, thank you for saying goodbye. Please take care of the child foretold Mas he your grandson will lead us against Sarpala in the future, Assalamualaikum,” said Ustad Kasturi who suddenly lost a blink of an eye.


“Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, you base Dik kas I will miss the times with you when studying in our Master Kiai Ronggo,” said Grandpa Buyut Dalang Sakri passed away to go inside the house.
