Time is so fast turning, it doesn't feel like it's night. As usual, the village of Ketang looked like a dead village. The houses of the residents seem closed tightly, but the time still shows at 19:15.
As the wind blew so hard on the bones, some residents were already curled up behind a thick blanket. The sound of animal howls coming from the forest plus the sound of crickets in the village added to the gripping impression, none of the residents dared to come out.
Not with one of the handsome young men mainstay of the village, looks handsome young man was sitting casually in front of the terrace in one of the elongated wooden chairs. Accompanied by a cup of coffee, it looks like the coffee is still puffing the smoke and soaring up.
"You're not in le?" asked the old man standing at the door that opened slightly was Mbah Sastro
"But not sleepy Mbah, just sleep first." said Prince Segoro
Instead of obeying the words of Prince Segoro, Mbah Sastro seemed to walk out to approach Prince Segoro. Then sit next to each other because of his elongated chair, while Prince Segoro looks not too concerned about it.
"Opo sing kowe?" ask Mbah Sastro
(What are you thinking)
"There is no Mbah." said Prince Segoro who was clearly lying and Mbah Sastro knew about it
"There is no need to think too much about something that is not necessarily the case, just live it as fate brings you" said Mbah Sastro staring fixed bead eyes Prince Segoro who turned his head towards him
"But this I am sure will happen mbah, Nyi.." has not had time for Prince Segoro to finish his speech, Mbah Sastro immediately cut.
"Don't say his name if you don't want something to happen, it doesn't mean that you've had a relationship in the past so you think you'll be okay. Remember le, she has changed she has become Ienge Jagad her queen of darkness" Mbah Sastro said quickly
Prince Segoro seemed to let out a long sigh, then he nodded.
"I'm sure he's doing something that will endanger the village later, while I'm just sitting here and waiting without knowing what. I feel unfair madah, what if I can't stop it" said Prince Segoro
Mbah Sastro seemed to think, because what Prince Segoro said was the truth.
"We do have a lot of Segoro sea troops, but don't forget about Mbah. He is much stronger than us, his troops are certainly much more" said Prince Segoro again when Mbah Sastro just silent
"Separa getih." murmured Prince Segoro
"Let's go, immediately getih a little bit the same as the bitter crater where you are imprisoned. It's just that, the bitter crater is just a sacred small river flow that only helps restore our condition. And, the bitter crater is also in our palace...
While segara bitter is the most sacred sea of blood, it is also quite far away. Wong's name is also the sea anyway, immediately getih the highest ocean above other oceans." said Mbah Sastro explained
"I will meditate on the mbah" said Prince Segoro quickly
"Are you strong enough to stay up to a month?" ask Mbah Sastro doubtfully
"The stronger Mbah, for the sake of the villagers." said Prince Segoro
Mbah Sastro just smiled as he nodded his head.
'It is not wrong that I choose you as my droplet le.' the inner Mbah Sastro still with his shady smile

While Nyi Danuwati is currently meditating, she has completed one day of hermitage. One day a night he finished well, because indeed the first day until the third day was not too severe his obstacles.
While after the third day the obstacles will be worse and more, while Nyi Danuwati must meditate for two months. Because the knowledge he wants to get is very dangerous and not easy, he dwells in the most sacred place in the human realm.
Just like Prince Segoro if he still wants to meditate, he will also meditate in the human realm. So, the turn of time is definitely following the time in the human realm.
Today is still the second day Nyi Danuwati meditated, the obstacle is still too small as it looks like a hand clutching tightly to the ankle Nyi Danuwati sitting cross-legged.
But Nyi Danuwati still tried to focus, until after a few minutes the hand stopped grasping and disappeared. Until the morning there was no interference, therefore Nyi Danuwati was able to complete her hermitage but somehow the next day.
