Tommy really held himself back. It's been two days of fasting. Resisting all anger and trying to patiently face all problems.
The most severe torment is to hold his longing for the idol. Sasi's. If usually he can still steal time to meet through a video call or just by voice, now he must be able to forget about Sasi for a moment.
Trying to make peace with the situation. Refraining from the temptations of the world's passions and desires. Trying to concentrate on one holy intention to edit Sasi. Protecting and loving her for the rest of her life. To cleanse himself, his soul and body from the dust of the world.
Holding back thirst and hunger is nothing compared to holding back the unstoppable desires of the heart. But for the sake of remembering Sasi who is still shackled by the interference of other creatures, making Tommy's determination unanimous to complete his fast. To not feel today is his last day of fasting.
Tomorrow is their happy day. Today they both had to go through a flush procession. Sasi did a flush at his house. Tommy also underwent watering in the house that has been inhabited Baskara.
A ceremony aimed at cleaning the soul of the bride and groom from the dirt of the world. As a symbol, it is expected that the bride and groom will be able to behave, speak and think cleanly in their marriage.
Barata and Palupi as well as some of their family elders are ready to perform the flush. All preparations had been made by the EO they had leased, except for the flush water from the seven wells, which were prepared by the elders of the Barata family and the elders of the Sasi family
At Sasi's house, Sasi's extended family had also prepared to carry out the same ceremony. Sasi has been dressed using kemben batik with jasmine flower arrangements decorating her hair. Her beautiful face is increasingly shining like an angel even without striking makeup.
Before the flush, the event begins with sungkeman (please pray blessing) to the parents of the bride and groom.
Mother accompanied one of their family elders to sit in a chair that has been provided. Sasi bowed her head to drop into the mother's lap. Her tears flowed unstoppably as she pleaded for blessing to the middle-aged beautiful woman who had given birth to her.
" lady...Sasi, please pray the blessing of mother. Sasi will start a new life with the one Sasi loves. Pray that the household of Sasi and Tommy mas will last and always be blessed with happiness." whispered Sasi stammered.
Forgot all the meaningful words he had composed. Who remembered and imagined only his mother's affection, tenderness and love for his daughter . Her struggle to raise her children to succeed as it is now. And the most stifling thing is to remember now my own mother after the death of her father.
Sasi nelangsa, on her happy day her father could not accompany her. Sasi sure mother was filled with tears because of the memory of her beloved father.
" Mom bless you nduk. Your happiness is your happiness. Remember mom's message yesterday yes.mom will always pray for you" mom stroked Sasi's head and hair that was scattered. The mother and child even hugged while sobbing .
Sasi sobbed and was happy because soon he would feel a new chapter in his life. Become a wife, and mother.
While the mother, felt happiness immeasurably because her mbarep (his grandfather) finally found a soul mate. After a long time his heart was closed and made him frustrated because he was afraid his daughter would become a spinster and worse still be the wife of invisible creatures.
"My dear child, be happy. I'm sure your future husband is the right person who will always look after and protect you for the rest of your life." Mom hugged Sasi tightly.
Finish sungkeman, followed by the flush event. Siraman itself is a symbol of cleansing the soul and self of the bride and groom.
Sasi sat on a mat and was bathed by the family elders, as well as his mother with water coming from seven wells (in present times there are rarely wells, but there are no wells, so usually replaced water from seven different places that are considered good )
The same water was handed over to the Tommy family for the groom's flush procession.
The event was solemn and full. After the flush Sasi dipaes (self) and dredged with fur and hair as a symbol of leaving the singles and entering the world of marriage. Until the last midodareni event which will be held later tonight.
Sasi had hoped that later tonight he could see the face that he missed so much this week, especially the last three days where he and Tommy did fasting and absolutely must not meet even through mobile phones. Because Sasi heard the midodareni event will be an event for the introduction of two families to be more familiar and intimate.
But Sasi had to go back to swallowing disappointment and was forced to hold back even longer the mountain longs, which were looming, because it turns out that the prospective groom is not allowed to see the prospective bride with the family who came to the bride's house.
Though Sasi had been pounding when he saw Barata and Palupi plus Lily and Rose, Baskara, and some of the elders of the Tommy family came in the midodareni night.
" You're looking for sopo(who) mbak?" tanya Palupi teased him.
" No." elak Sasi was embarrassed.
" Kapok ra iso. Wong manten kakung ora by melu. Saru, ora by meeting the princess sak durunge meet the manten asuk" (Sukurin can not meet. Groom candidates are prohibited from meeting prospective brides before the wedding meeting tomorrow).
Palupi whispered in Sasi's ear with a mocking tone. Making Sasi upset half to death and pinch his sister's waist and her father-in-law's waist.
Palupi grimaces but then laughs more and more at Sasi's teasing.
" Ciee.ada who misses the kangen not deliver.." goda Palupi a bit loud so that heard Retno and her husband even Baskara who was near them.
Sasi's face was already flushed to hold back the embarrassment. Especially when everyone is so laughing to hear Palupi tease him.
" The bad father-in-law! Mulih kono pi (Go home Pi)! " sasi growled while glaring towards Palupi. His sister-in-law even put on a laughing face mocking Sasi.
And Sasi was successful so the months of ridicule, taunts and temptations of everyone that night. The beautiful girl finally resignedly accepted all the behavior of her brothers who that night seemed to deliberately want to make her die helpless fleas.
Sasi even ended up participating in the euphoria of happiness that everyone felt that night. Joking around and replying to the temptations and taunts of his brothers. Meet and greet each other with members of the Barata family who came that night
All dissolved in a happy atmosphere before Tommy and Sasi's wedding day tomorrow.
None of them realized that there was a pair of eyes as sharp as a lily-lit eagle full of angkara staring at them from the corner of the courtyard of Sasi's house.
Only the trained eyes of the heart can see a creature surrounded by blue light.
Mbah Ageng frowned. His face stiffened for the sake of seeing Rangga with a gaze full of anger in Sasi's house.
Presumably, a war of war between Tommy and Rangga will be inevitable to save Sasi.
Actually, the mother had asked Mbah Ageng to stay at Sasi's house in anticipation of Rangga's unexpected arrival. But Mbah Ageng rejected it because it still had to prepare everything if the match adilaga it would really happen.
As fast as lightning Mbah Ageng stood behind Sasi. No one was aware of Mbah Ageng's presence other than Rangga.
The blue creature grinned horribly.
" You sir why are you so stubborn? Your place is not here. Go in peace and quiet. I won't interfere where you're going. Just so you leave Sasi!" kecam Mbah Ageng held back anger.
"But you're disturbing the residents here. You're disturbing Sasi Tuan!" bent Mbah Ageng hard.
" What power do you have to prevent me from disturbing someone or not? "
" For the sake of humanity, sir. Your place is not in this mortal realm anymore. Are you aware ? You should've been more aware because you were way above me."
" Stop me if you can.hahaha.." the blue creature disappeared as fast as lightning. Leaving behind her horrible laughter.
At his house Tommy suddenly jolts from his daydream. The last time Tommy jolted like this, Sasi was meeting with Rangga.
Tommy immediately silenced the copyright in surrender . Remembering and calling out the one name he was currently worrying about.
Justright. At this time he saw Sasi was gathering with his family and the extended family of his future wife in midodareni event.
Tommy was surprised to find that Mbah Ageng was already standing behind Sasi. Mbah Ageng appeared in the same form as him so that not as well aware of the presence of the old man. The old man's face looked tense facing a direction.
Following the direction of view Mbah Ageng Tommy immediately caught a blue aura shadow in the corner of Sasi's yard.
Ill-mannered. How dare he show up at a family event like this. Did he start flying the war flag blatantly? Tommy's hands were clenched tightly.
Before long he saw Mbah Ageng like he was talking through inner contact with Rangga. Mbah Ageng looked furious but was still trying to hold back. While the ugly Rangga was grinning defiantly.
Tommy did not dare to act rashly . At least there is Mbah Ageng who protects Sasi . He did not dare to be rash anymore. Fearing that his actions would instead hurt Sasi or their extended family there.
As Ageng's jaw began to harden in anger, Tommy prepared to help the old man if needed. The atmosphere was so gripping for Tommy, even though at Sasi's house, the big family of the two brides looked happy. Get to know each other and get closer as new family members.
What a very contrasting situation. Cheerful and happy outside, yet gripping inside. In the invisible realm that intersects with the mortal human realm.
Tommy breathed a sigh of relief when Rangga disappeared from Sasi's house. The blue shadow went somewhere. Apparently Mbah Ageng also breathed a sigh of relief.
Mbah Ageng retreats and disappears from behind Sasi. Tommy could do nothing more than just look at it. More precisely do not know how to pursue a person's shadow in the invisible realm.
Middle thinking of how to apply his martial arts, in times of need like this, Tommy was shocked by the madness of Mbah Ageng right in front of him.
Tommy is slow. Mbah Ageng chuckled.
" Consolation, alertness and self-awareness are so important, Tom. You won't be surprised like that. If the one who came to attack you from behind was Rangga, run out of you" muttered Mbah Ageng.
Tommy smiled a little. " Remember the Mbah" he murmured.
"Prepare yourself. Tonight maybe Rangga will act with his strength. Maybe he'll go all out on us. It's okay to lose to us as long as it can convey its grudge to you who sabotaged his love."
" Mbah know, you do not speak already know the contents of your heart. You are still not confident in your strength which is actually very large, right?. You must be sure. That's Tom's main key." advice Mbah Ageng pisahan calm his heart that was just gambang.
"I'm afraid I can't take care of Sasi Mbah. The creature is hundreds of years old. His science must be far more qualified than mine. Although the word mbah I have great power, but if you can not use it for free also mbah" Tommy chuckled .
Mbah Ageng smiled wisely. " Tom here, you should know too. Science as we have it is difficult to train and learn."
"Where do you want to practice such a kanuragan? Could get people. Add danger, add new problems."
"So an invisible magic canuragan like this, when you need and will use, will automatically unite with your mind. He'll just flow along with your instincts. One time try to use it but do not hurt other people" Mbah Ageng advised Tommy at length.
Tommy nodded and tried to digest Ageng's words.
The young man again prayed and calmed himself to return his tribe to his rough rhino. Returns the soul to the body as it was.
Tommy was still struggling with his mind, digesting all the words Mbah Ageng had just heard. Finally Tommy can smile calmly when he managed to parse what was meant by Mbah Ageng.
The science actually does not need to be trained or tested first. Because this science is pure from its own body. So its use can also be determined by his own mind.
Therefore, it takes great confidence to produce great power. The greater his confidence and confidence, the stronger the energy and strength he would generate.
Mbah Ageng smiled seeing Tommy smile.
" Have you found the secret?"
" Sampun (already) mbah" replied Tommy.
" Are you able to defeat him?" ask Mbah Ageng again.
" With good intentions and good goals. I am sure I can defeat that creature. I'm sure my strength will prevail because I use it for good and no bad purpose at all" Tommy replied firmly.
"We're ready for Tom. Tonight is your gamble. Rest assured the truth will surely find its way We will face it together."
" We will keep an eye on Sasi , if the creature approaches, let the mbah lure it and keep it away from Sasi so as not to harm your future wife. You'll catch up after Sasi's safe."
" Send a message to Sasi's mother to always accompany Sasi. Sasi should not be alone because it will give Rangga an opportunity to hold Sasi hostage like the events of the past. We have to close any small gaps. So that Rangga does not have the opportunity to do cunning and endanger Saai again."
" Bah" Tommy insisted.
Tommy's ready tonight. Ready to defend his. Ready to protect and protect his future wife. Tommy was even willing to sacrifice anything for the sake of his lover.
