The Snake Demon
22. Difficult Sellers (Part 2)
Arriving at the complex of ancient tombs, especially the tomb complex of Prince Puroboyo Fertile directly to Masjid Kasepuhan.
The mosque was built about 500 years ago and has undergone repeated renovations.
Massive changes occurred in 2000. If this mosque never had a lower floor. In 2000, the ground floor was built for the settlers. Besides that, the mosque secretariat office was built.
That's where Subur searched for the caretaker of Kalisoka Abah Ali's tomb.
"Sorry sir...Would I meet the caretaker here..!?" Said Fertile when he reached the Masjid Kasepuhan and met the marbot Hasan who was sweeping.
"Yes usually Abah Ali here.but until coming to this part is still eight. He hasn't come yet.several nine o'clock or tenth..!" Hasan told Subir.
The caretaker of the tomb is Abah Ali, a former hoodlum of Tanjung Priuk Jakarta. Now he has repented back to Tegal and was chosen as the caretaker of the tomb.
Subur got a lot of information from the Masjid Hasan marbot. He was told who Abah Ali was and how to meet him.
Hasan also described places that could be used for asceticism. If the goal is to get the pleasure of Allah or seek peace of mind enough itikaf in the mosque and often alawasul in the tomb of Prince Purboyo.
Hasan also explained that the real name of Prince Puroboyo is Sayid Abdul Gofar a powerful cleric mandraguna.
"Well, if you want to be rich or sell. Sanpean chose meditation in this cave of river lips..!" Hasan said to Subur while pointing to the river cliff that has cave.
"But you need to remember if you go to the cave until you find Mak Lampir, or Grandong, or Nyi Blorong..!" Terang Hasan's. Want to not want the fur luduk Fertile goosebumps as well.
"Well spookymm...!" Fertile Mumbles.
"Ohw sampean afraid yes..or in khalwat only.but still ntar sanpean will be found Fatimah and the like..!" Hasan.
"I'm sorry Fatimah what and who..!?" Ask Subur to know.
"He's a member of the stealth.kan destination until the pedicabunnya sell-out..ya untilan must meet and talk to them...understand..!?" Hasan.
Fertile can only be silent. In his heart he said.
" Ah has already.mantap-mantau. Still I choose in khalwat only..!" Said batting.
"If sampean is steady and retap want nyepi or tetapa. Sampean must meet Abah Ali. Because the khalwat was in a locked room. And the key that brought Abah Ali.
Sampean told Abah Ali exactly what he was. Nothing is hidden. Abah Ali knew and could get angry..!" Urai Hasan advises Subur.
Hasan also explained that Abah Ali was strict and people called him fierce.
"Actually he is not fierce.he is firm and very brave so just don't macem-macem. If ten o'clock isn't here.
Sampean can go to his house...his house is near TK..ya..!?" Hasan and Subur said.
At ten Abah Ali did not come to the secretariat. Finally came to his house. Abah Ali's house is at the end of the main street of Kalisoka next to Kindergarten.
And Subur had no trouble finding his home. Abah Ali has a guest. So that Subur can be found immediately. And as Marbot Hasan Abah Ali explained the same thing.
"If you want to be in khalwat.ini you bring the key. You open and clean the ones that need to be cleaned. Ntar I spent Dhuhur there..meet you at the location.ya.!?" Said Abah Ali while handing over the key to the khalwat room to Subur.
And by saying thank you Subur directly to khalwat.
Khalwat is located south of the Kalisoka masjid kasepuhan. It is located under a grove of brackish trees and bamboo trees.
Khalwat was a building like and as big as a patrol post or a building three times the size of four.
The wall building has only one door. Inside the building there is a hole like a cemetery. The hole was one by two meters in size with a depth of one meter.
That's called khalwat. Fertile after opening the door of the building. Then he cleaned khalwat. And put a mat in it.
He also prepared a jug. The jug is where drinking water is made from the ground.
Also put his luggage next to khalwat.
In Khalwat there is no lighting. Even if the night is also not allowed to light candles or oil lamps. It must be dark.
Doesn't feel like cleaning up until twelve. And soon Abah Ali came.
"It's Bah....!" Reply Fertile.
"Nah ntar the night after Maghrib.kamu enter khalwat. Do not use any lighting..!" Abah Ali.
"Picture Bah..!"
"Over in khalwat if there is any sound. There are any sightings. You don't be afraid. Don't blur. Don't leave khalwat..!?" Resolute Abah Ali.
"Picture Bah..!"
"You are here alone.if you are afraid. You can go home now. I'll come back later after Maghrib. And here's the morning dawn to see you..understand!?" Abah Ali.
"Picture Bah..!". Abah Ali then left Subur.
Previously Abah Ali explained that before entering Khalwat Subur asked to take a big bath in the sandang on the river lips. And Subur asked to pray next to khalwat.
At 17.30 WIB Fertile went to the sendang for a big bath. Sendang is not so far from khalwat. The water is clear and the water is very fresh.
After bathing Fertile look for stalls to eat before he will fast tomorrow.
Just before Maghrib Abah Ali came again to guide Subur before entering khalwat.
After that, Fertile was left alone.
The night began to gnaw as the sounds of the night animals began to appear.
The voice of the crow began to sound deafening. Then bence's voice.
Bence is a small quail laborer whose voice is loud enough to sound "nye..!uh.. nye..!"
Want not to shudder as well.
But because he was determined he still sat cross-legged in khalwat.
The air in Khalwat is quite hot so it is quite a contrast to the outside air which is quite cold.
Isya is past. Fertile have also prayed Isya then entered again to khalwat.
The clock seems to be running very slow. It brings a clock to see the time.
While it's very dark outside it happens to drizzle. Strange and terrifying sounds continued to echo. Fertile are still literate and reciting the mantra taught by Mbah Cokro.
No feeling the wrench has shown at one o'clock. Suddenly from the roof came out white smoke. White smoke clumps long ago form the figure of the human body.
Yes the female and female body then spoke to Subur.
”Hai man there is a need what you meet me...ayoh replied..!?"
Fertile who was asked suddenly his blood seemed to stop. She was still shocked.Schock so could not say anything so that the figure of the woman repeated her question again.
"O man...you found me what need.ayoh answered..!?"
Now Fertile can control themselves. He began to have courage.
"I'm sorry who..and what kind of people?" Ask the woman back. After pulling her hair behind her, the woman answered.
"Include.aku Fatimah. Answer my question earlier cepet..!" Snapping a woman named Fatimah to Subur.
Fertile had been daunted also got a question with a snapping tone from Fatimah.
Fatimah has been described by Marbot Hasan. That Fatimah is another name for Rara Replace the wife of Prince Purboyo or Sheikh Sayid Abdul Gofar.
It is said that once Roro Ganti died he entered into the jinn realm with the name Fatimah. So he deserves to claim to be the owner of this place.
