It's five o'clock in the afternoon . That day wasn't too much work though Tommy took a day off yesterday and Sasi was also on a two-day leave. Reza really helped their work.
Currently Tommy and Sasi are on their way back to Sasi's house.
" Know this from the beginning I appointed Reza as my representative. He really did his job well." Tommy feels really helped by Reza.
" Nah right? So do not be fierce with Reza mas, the work is good right? " Sasi defends Reza.
" It's not bad, honey, I'm just being careful. Don't give anyone a chance to modusin my future wife. Let Reza move on too." Tommy defended himself.
" Look at me, you're the only one in my heart. My first and last boyfriend. If I wanted to, I would have been with Reza or Davin mas. The proof is that I just want to be the same. Because my heart is yours." Sasi looked at Tommy gently.
Tommy smiled to himself at Sasi's heartfelt words, like the wind of heaven blowing through his ears.
" His name is love dear.it must be jealous if you see a lover close to another man. I believe in you, but I don't believe in the same ones that tempt you. I already know the prospective wife of the boss, still dare to talk about things. But I promise I will be more patient. Poor also Reza, already heartbroken, scolded boss continues.hahaha.." Tommy laughed mockingly.
" It's so evil.it's being laughed at.." Sasi shook her head looking at Tommy's childish behavior. But her future husband was even more chuckling .
It did not feel like they had reached Sasi's house. I greeted them at the door.
" You guys coming home in the afternoon?" Ask mom when Tommy and Sasi kiss mom's hand in turn.
" Yes ma'am happens to be not doing too much work today" Tommy replied.
Mom nodded "Good so you won't be home too late. You didn't forget to bring a change of clothes, did you? "
" Take mom." Tommy answered while showing the paper bag in his hand.
" Wait here for a second. I take a shower first. Then change the bath." Sasi leaves Tommy sitting on the living room couch with mom. Tommy nodded and smiled looking at Sasi who entered his room.
His mind had floated imagining if Sasi's room would later become his bridal room. Until his face looks blushing.
" Hayoo.but what?" mother's voice ripped Tommy's daydream.
" Eh, I'm not really mom.." Tommy looked down, ashamed of his own thoughts.
" Drink warm tea first while waiting for Sasi Tom..Mother to the back first yes.." mother put a cup of tea that Rumi had made.
" Yes mom. Thank you" replied Tommy. He pulled the phone out of his pocket and began to seriously stare at the rectangular flat object. Look through the news portal and its social media accounts while waiting for Sasi.
Twenty minutes later Sasi appeared to come out of the room with slightly wet hair and a fresh face blushing without any makeup at all. Only his lips looked daubed lipbalm the color of his lips.
Tommy raised his face hearing the door open and found his unconscious figure coming out of the room. Smelling fragrant immediately ambushed his kiss as Sasi approached towards him and sat beside him.
Tommy involuntarily brought his nose closer to Sasi's face.
" Such fragrance anyway.so want.." whispered softly.
" Haiss.mandi was there. I'm ready for the towel in the bathroom."
Sasi hurriedly pushed Tommy's body away. He stood up and pushed her slowly into her room. As soon as Tommy entered, Sasi immediately went out and closed the room door. Leaving Tommy alone.
Tommy stepped slowly towards the bathroom door. This is the second time Tommy has entered Sasi's room. Sasi had a fever at the time.
But this time it felt strange. Suddenly Tommy felt a chill coming at him. The AC in the room looked dead. Tommy felt that there was something strange in this room. I think something is watching him. His gaze went around looking at the entire room. But there's nothing there.
Eventually Tommy ignores the uncomfortable feeling, and rushes to the bathroom.
Fifteen minutes later Tommy was out of the bathroom. His face looked fresh. Already changed his clothes with casual shirts and casual trousers.
Sasi smiled welcoming her lover. So handsome! Inner Sasi praised.
" Lunches first yuk. It's been waiting for mom at the dinner table "Sasi took Tommy's hand and brought him to the dining table.
Mom's sitting there. Tommy and Sasi were sitting side by side across from mom. They ate while chatting lightly.
After finishing dinner, the mother and Tommy rushed to the house Mbah Ageng. Tommy takes his own car while mom drives Kusno.
My plan was to just take Tommy. After that, the mother immediately went home, while Tommy would be left at the house of Mbah Ageng to start his lessons.
Until finally Tommy followed the car Mother who turned towards an old house that looked haunted.
Tommy's not really the coward type. Even tend to be brave because they do not believe things that are invisible like Sasi. But seeing the conditions around the house Mbah Ageng, unabated cause uncomfortable feelings in his heart.
The door of the house seemed to open from the inside. An old woman opened the door and let them in.
Kusno, the mother driver, came down and sat on the terrace. While Tommy followed the steps of the mother into the house.
The lighting in the house looked dim as only an old model bulb was lit.
In the living room there was an old man sitting on a carved chair.
" Sugeng dalu (good night) mbah. This is Tommy, Sasi's future husband" mother introduced Tommy to the old man.
" This is the Ageng Mbah that mom told me yesterday Tom" whispered mother.Tommy nodded.
Tommy stared fixedly at the face of Mbah Ageng. Is correct. It was this who led him to save Sasi in a dream back then. Sasi also said that what he met when he was suspended animation was also this old man. Is this a mere coincidence? Or is there some other secret he doesn't know?
" Yo wes nduk's. You can go home. Let Bastomi same mbah " Mbah Ageng said slowly.
" Religion Mbah. Please begging me. Tom, mom's home first. It's the same" mom patted Tommy's back.
" Yes ma'am" Tommy replied briefly.
After his mother died, Mbah Ageng took Tommy to the pendopo behind his house.
It's pitch-dark. Tommy's eyes can't see anything in there. Only faintly appeared the lush trees surrounding the place. Cold and gripping at the sound of the night beast screaming.
" Sitting next to this altar Tom." Lirih Mbah Ageng but can be heard clearly by Tommy because of the quiet atmosphere around.
" Aren't you going to ask me something?" mbah Ageng sat cross-legged followed by Tommy.
" I have actually met you in a dream, but I have never seen you before. At that time Sasi was dead, and mbah led me to save Sasi in a dream. How can you mbah? " Tommy finally conveyed his curious heart.
" So you're not actually Le's dream (tole, son, boy's call). To a layman, it was like a dream. But actually it is real. The journey of your spirit, your soul, in the spirit realm. Nature says invisible people. Another world. And it's in you. "
"It's your own subconscious. You've heard of the subconscious, right? It can now be used as a treatment suggestion. Including unfortunately, there are also many who use it for crime . Hypnosis, hypnotherapy."
Tommy listened carefully to Ageng's words which he thought meant very deep. But it is still acceptable to his mind.
" Do you think the only people living in this world are humans?" Tanya Mbah Ageng full of mystery.
" I've been thinking so all this time. Not because they do not believe, but rather do not want to be complicated and think. As long as it is invisible, I assume it does not exist. Although I also did not close my eyes, there might indeed be something that the naked eye of man could not see."
Mbah Ageng chuckled.
"So if you can see, you can't dodge it, if something exists.? " Mba Ageng asked again.
" Yes, that's how it is.." Tommy answered lightly. It turns out that talking to Mbah Ageng is quite fun. It was unlike anything he had imagined before meeting the old man.
Tommy even felt the old man before him was very smart and full of very deep knowledge.What came out of his mouth was full of wisdom and noble wisdom. Sometimes Tommy had to think a long time to understand what Ageng said.
" Mbah will teach you, so that you can see what you should see. So that you believe and do not think it is a dream, hallucination or a mere person's essay. Are you ready?" Mbah Ageng patted the young man's shoulder.
" I don't really want to know such unusual things. I prefer this. So ordinary people." Tommy answered honestly.
" You're not wrong. It is better not to know that it will only make us so unsettled to live life. Mbah won't force you. But mbah will help you open your heart so you know if you need to master the science of the invisible world. "
" From that, you decide. Whether you learn it or not at all. Do you want to take up the challenge.? Look at you brave enough." Mbah Ageng tries to challenge Tommy's courage.
Feeling not afraid in the slightest, Tommy was finally willing to try what Ageng suggested.
It's just trying, and Tommy wants to prove it. Does that invisible other world really exist? Or is it just nonsense as he has believed all along.
" Good mbah. I am ready to open my inner eyes. But sorry, if later I am not interested in studying this further, it is not because I do not appreciate our culture. It's because I just want to be an ordinary person. Think simple and use logic. Not thinking strangely. Sorry again." Tommy tries to be frank about his feelings for Mbah Ageng.
Mbah Ageng chuckled. More amazed and confident in Tommy's strength and personality. More confident that Tommy can protect Sasi even defeat and evict the creature that always bothered his future wife.
