Turning Point

TEN

The flashback

Surabaya, 7 years ago

A middle-aged man rolled weakly on the bed. With a breath that sounded severed as if signifying he was holding back the pain that mired in his chest. Next to the bed sat a middle-aged woman who still faithfully rubbed the man's head that looked sweaty.

"A.. Agum where is buk?", asked the middle-aged man to his wife

"Again to Danang mas sir" replied the wife

"So you asked Agum to call mas Danang here, right?", asked the wife. The man just nodded his head

Shortly after, two men appeared from behind the door. One of the men was about 23 years old, and another man is about 30 years old who has a sturdy body like a bodybuilder and there are many body tattoos. Yes, they are Agum and mas Danang. While the middle-aged woman is also Ranti's mother and also her husband named Ruslan sir.

"Sir Ruslan, what's the situation, what's the feeling?", asked Danang to Mr. Ruslan as he swept his hand across the surface of Mr. Ruslan's body

"Na. nak Danang, ba. ti. tip Agum. To. please science that wants Da... Danang pe... pelaja. ri tu. lower it to Agum" said Mr. Ruslan stammered still with a broken breath.

"Yes sir, I promise I will take care of Agum and will pass down the knowledge I have to Agum.

"Gum, ma. manut sa.ma mas Da... Danang yes. mu. hopefully ka.mu ja.di le. men ba. good" he continued.

Dada Agum felt tight to see the condition of his father who was so alarming. Making a speck of clear water escape from his eye peluruk. Lung disease that has been lodged for 2 years in the body of Mr. Ruslan seemed to gnaw the middle-aged man's body and make his body as dry as bones that are only webbed skin.

Agum kissed Ruslan's hand. Not a word came out of his lips. His body feels helpless to see the condition of his father like that.

A few moments later we heard a shriek of breath from Mr. Ruslan's throat accompanied by a sound like a person snoring. And just after that, Mr. Ruslan breathed his last.

**********************

Agum sat down on his father's burial ground, which still looked wet. Slowly he wiped away the remains of the tears that wet his cheeks.

"Already Gum, please let the father go, let the father calm there" said Danang sympathized

"What are your plans now?", asked Danang.

"I was mutated to Jogja mas, and next week I should already occupy the office in Jogja, but "Agum replied hanging.

"But what is Gum?", asked Danang

"I have not been able to get away from sampeyan mas, the science I learned is also still a little" he replied

Danang chuckled "Wes ta Gum, you can not be separated. The basics of science have been taught and you live asah again his canuragan science. For later practices mas guiding from a distance"

Agum shrugged his shoulders as if signaling the moment he was unable to think clearly.

"Wes not to worry, Jogja-Syabaya is only how many hours a day?, you can go once a month to Surabaya or mas to Jogja", said Danang calming.

Danang Wicaksono, a 30-year-old man who has a stocky body, with tattoos that fill his body. Her hair is loose and curly and works as security in one of the malls in Surabaya.

Danang has one advantage that can see things unseen. His ability was not obtained naturally (born from birth), but he could learn with a teacher in Surabaya.

The science he learned a lot. Start the science of sharia, tariqat, nature and ma'rifat.

Shariat

Shari'a is all the rules that have been determined by Allah swt, or the rules that have been legalized by the Prophet concerning the matter of Aqidah, the issue of law is good law, law is lawful, terms or pillars etc that govern human relations with His creator or Fellow Man.

Tinkets

Tarekat comes from the word tariqah which means road. The path referred to here is the way to become a pious person, to be a person who diridhoi Allah SWT. Practically, the tariqah is a group of birth and inner practices that aim to bring a person to be a pious person.

Verity

The essence means i`tikad or true belief (about God), then this essence is the work of the heart. So that nothing is seen heard but Allah, or that motion and silence are believed in the heart to be in fact the power of Allah.

Ma'rifat

The term Ma'rifat comes from the word Al-Ma'rifah which means to know or know something. And when associated with the practice of Tasawwuf, then the term ma'rifat here means to know God when Shufi reached maqam in Tasawwuf.

In addition to the sciences Danang also studied the science of kanuragan.

Kanuragan is a science that serves to martial supernatural. This science includes the ability to defend (defend) against attacks and the ability to attack with extraordinary strength.

Those are the sciences studied by Danang, after 3 years of study with his spiritual teacher, he began to open a college and transmit the knowledge he obtained to others, one of which is Agum.

"Keep Gum, you can do it. You can also transmit your knowledge in Jogja, make the same college as mas" said Danang reassured

"But I still have my doubts" replied Agum

"The bottom line is sure, you deserve to be a leader" Danang said.

***************************

Agum and Ranti's mother enjoyed dinner in one corner of the room in the house. The departure of Mr. Ruslan does leave a deep sorrow for Agum and also Ranti. Since the day of Mr. Ruslan's departure, making Ranti's mother not eager to touch the food. For a bit of coercion from Agum, Ranti's mother finally wanted to put food in her mouth.

"Tomorrow we move to Jogja bu" said Agum in between his food feed

"In Jogja we live where Gum?," asked Ranti's mother

"We live in the house of Abdul Bu, all mothers can help bulik Sri ngurus canteen" replied Agum.

They continued their dinner. After this they will move to Jogja because Agum was mutated to the city of Gudeg. Inevitably Ranti's mother had to come along, because Agum was the only child she had.

The drizzle still feels soaking the ground. Agum packed his clothes and all his office necessities into a suitcase. When he finished, he put his body on the bed. Close your eyes, embrace your dreams, and be ready to live your new life tomorrow.
