The Musafir
Pay for the Maman Potion
IBU WIRA received two bags containing hundreds of gold pieces that were not tasty. But in his mind, he promised to bestow most of the profits to the Northern River Angel.
And indeed Mantingan means such a way. He wanted to give the Northern River Angel a lot of money, but it was impossible to give it directly. It was certain that the North River Angel would reject him, or even take offense because Mantingan seemed to pity him.
With Mantingan paying for treatment so high, it was certain that the Northern River Angel would earn a lot of money as well. And had he known that the Angel of the North River had sacrificed so much for him, then Mantingan would have given him 1,000 pieces of gold!
“One more time I thank you, Mother Hero. I express my deepest gratitude to Sister Sasmita. Seriously my money and thanks are not enough to pay for the services of both of you.” Warm smiling coat.
“I say thank you again, Son Man.”
After that, the Northern River Angel was seen nodding while making her smile.
“It seems, it is time to resign. Is there anything else that needs to be conveyed to me?”
“There. You come once every two days to receive the Maman Potion. That means, you come tomorrow, then come the day after tomorrow.”
The mantan understood. “Then I beg you. But before I go home, allow me to go to the back, calling Kana and Kina.”
“Let it be tonight that I take them to Brother's house.” The North River Angel said softly.
“Do not like that, later Sisters come home too late.”
“I will stay at Brother's house if allowed.”
The mantel was silent for a moment. Wanting him to reject the request of the North River Angel, yet he had no reason for it. There was no other choice for him than to accept.
“Come as you please, Sister. Kana and Kina will definitely be happy for your presence there.”
The Northern River Angel widened her smile. “Thank you, I'll come later tonight. Prepare the banquet.”
***
ALTHOUGH Mantingan actually knew the North River Angel did not really ask for a banquet, but Mantingan still prepared it. Even though it meant just a simple little banquet.
On the table of the main room, Mantingan placed several types of sweets and fresh drinks to welcome the arrival of the North River Angel, Cana, and Kina.
After making sure nothing was lacking on the banquet table, Mantingan returned to his room on the second floor. He sat behind the table, facing the Lotus Book.
Therefore, Mantingan thought that he really had to take a special time to study the Lotus Book. Although of course he could not understand all the contents of the book at one time.
***
WHEN BIDADARI the North River came carrying Cana and Kina, Mantingan was still in his room. When Cana wanted to tell Mantingan that they had arrived, the Angel of the North River forbade him to do so.
“Kakak Man must be studying the book in his room, it would not be nice if we disturb.”
Kana immediately understood his situation, immediately pausing interest to inform Mantingan. He understood how a swordsman needed calmness while studying the contents of the book. Not good to disturb the Mantingan. No matter whether Mantingan will be angry or not angry, the action is still not polite if done.
“See this.” North River Angel shows a variety of snacks on the table. It is true that they are in the middle room, until now the three can see the mingle of snacks that have been prepared by Mantingan. But the three people agreed, the dining atmosphere will be bland terrace without the presence of Mantingan.
But what else do you want to do?
Meanwhile, the Mantingan was still struggling with the Lotus Book. He is currently studying the first part of the book. And believe me, that in the first part alone, there have been very many life lessons that Mantingan get. Verse by verse in the book, the language just flows like it is telling a fairy tale. But it would be surprising, if in a verse contains more than one life lesson.
It is clear that the Book of the Lotus does not contain fairy tales. Not some bullshit. The history contained in it is not the history that is boasted. The Lotus is one of the densest books Mantingan has ever studied. Even if studied more thoroughly, this book will be more dense.
Mantingan understanding is increasing rapidly. It was as if Kiai Guru Kedai was educating him right now. The Lotus is not a book that likes to advise people. The book contains a strong appeal. If you want to apply his teachings, then do it in earnest. And if he does not wish to apply it, he will be regarded as an enemy. Have read the book, but only traffic, without taking lessons and applying them in real life.
Is what they read holy scripture? In other words, is the Lotus Book a holy book? If so, then is it more holy than hundreds of other scriptures?
Has no one come to the scribe and asked, “Which scripture is holier?”
Certainly the answer of the experts of the book is the book of his role model. Or at least, the book that is considered the most sacred. In fact, everyone's opinion can be different.
Truly from the Book of the Lotus, the Mantingan understands that the scriptures are indeed quite numerous, but do not descend together. The new scriptures will come down when the world is in darkness. However, it does not mean that every book created at that time is a holy book.
Of course, what is meant by darkness is not the darkness of the night, but the darkness of the times. The holy books did not come down together, but came down in each of their days. Dark ages. But although not revealed together, the teachings in the scriptures remain the same. Stay original and will continue to be original. Straighten the teachings of the scriptures that have come down before.
But in the hands of Mantingan now is the scripture or not? And if it really is a holy book, when was it sent down? Is it in the light or dark?
So late the Mantingan dive into the sea of knowledge contained in the Book of Lotus. As if to find hidden treasures, new ones can be obtained if you make full use of your mind. Many questions that were unanswered can now be answered. Understanding the Book of Lotus completely opened his mind.
It was as if finding a torch to lead him on a midnight walk. It's pitch-dark. Revealing the many veils that cover the dense darkness. Found a black ant on a black rock, in the middle of a dark starless night or moonless.
