Section 158: Aditia 18

“Pak, why am I here?” Aditia asked Dirga who was already in the empty house again.

“Nothing, just a pesky throwaway ritual Dit, dad did.”

“Did Adit make a mistake again Sir?”

“Not really, Adit's a good boy, so that's what Adit needs to maintain at this time until his safety. Understand Dit?”’

“Which father Sir?”

“By recovery, Adit follow you first yes, we will go out of town.”

Dirga will not bring Aditia home, because he must not know that his father is sick for saving him. While Aditia will be entrusted to one of the Kharisma Jagat that Mulyana introduced. He will be there for a while until Mulyana recovers and Aditia also has to learn a lot at the place where Kharisma Jagat Aditia entrusted to her residence.

This Kharisma Jagat is named Aki Dadan. The people around him know him is the head of the West Java silat association. No one knows, that he is Kharisma Jagat with a fairly high knowledge.

“Aki's son Mulyana, Mulyana Sudha contact Aki right?” Dirga has arrived to deliver Aditia to Aki Dadan.

“This is Mulyana's son? Aditia became the youngest Kharisma Jagat, right after she was born. A very talented, but gullible child.”

Aki Dadan was not a friendly person, he always trained people hard. He did not believe that people could become great because forging was not warmth let alone hospitality.

“Aki please take care of ya son Mulyana, I say goodbye because there are some affairs.”

“We are not here to receive baby care, we are here only accept young people who want to improve their knowledge, so do not expect you will be comfortable here.”

“Iya I understand Ki, thank you for accepting me here.” Aditia did not take heart, because she knew, all this time maybe only her father who educated in a warm way.

Dirga pamit, Aditia escorted to a room that is quite large, it is difficult to say this hall because the walls are made of cubicles, but nails to accommodate about fifty people.

“Everyone who practices, sleeps here, your clothes and needs, you put them in a wooden closet there, all mix with others, do not use people's stuff without permission, do not use them, you can also get angry if your stuff is used by someone else. Besides, if you have a problem with your fellow students, you have to solve it yourself. Understood?!”

“Understanding Ki,” Aditia says.

“Then you put all your needs in the closet, after that you join us, this afternoon we will start practicing the horses.”

Aditia complied, he put his goods in a wooden cabinet neatly and then went to the field to participate in training with Aki Dadan.

There are twenty people, usually more, but now it's the season to go home, the rest of the people who don't go home, because their families are off the island or they have no family and are adopted by Aki Dadan.

“Include this Aditia, she joined training with us from today, join the ranks.”

Aki Dadan started the exercise, to train the horses, not only the necessary leg muscles, but also balance, because once your legs are attacked, then balance is the key to defense.

Aditia and the others had to practice standing on one leg, starting on the left leg as a pedestal and the right leg raised in a bent manner, while the hands were stretched right and left.

They did it, five minutes went by, ten minutes went by, fifteen minutes started to shake, Aditia looked troubled, a lot of sweat came out of her forehead, but she just kept on and tried to calm down, it's the first time and his balance ability is quite good.

Twenty minutes some disciples fell, Aditia and ten others still survived.

Aki Dadan stared at them one by one, telling the fallen person to change legs, from the left leg as a pedestal to the right leg, both hands still stretched to the right and to the left.

Aditia finally fell at the time of showing half an hour, the others still survive.

Aki Dadan approached him and grabbed the left leg that had been exhausted from being used as a pedestal only then continued to hit his right leg.

Aditia fell down and stared intently at Aki. Aki again took Aditia's hand.

“You're not allowed to stare hard at me, you want to fight with me?”

“Sorry. If you may know, why my legs are nabbed, whereas others fall early but Aki does not snatch them.” Aditia apologized and bowed her head but curiosity because injustice still made Aditia dare to ask.

“You asked why I hit your left leg?”

Aditia nodded.

“You, lower your left leg, then change your right leg to a pedestal.” His orders on someone who is actually still strong stand with his left foot as a pedestal. But forced to change the pedestal because of Aki's orders.

The man lowered his left leg and tried to stand with his right leg alone and spread out his two hands right and left.

It only took five minutes to break it.

“Now you do, stand on your right foot.”

Aki ruled Aditia now swapping legs as a pedestal, her left leg still grievous as it was grabbed by rattan.

Aditia started to do it with her right foot, although her left leg was painful, but she could still do it, five minutes passed, ten minutes to twenty minutes finally Aditia fell.

“Do you now understand why I grabbed your foot?”

“Sorry Ki, I don't understand.”

“You still feel I'm being unfair?”

“Ya, I'm sorry Ki.”

“You are right, I just snatched you, I should have snatched the last ten people to be able to stand longer.”

“I don't understand Ki.”

Someone came and answered, “Your left leg that is used as a pedestal for too long will be overloaded until he will have a muscle injury, while your right leg that is bent too long, will experience cramps. Aki swoops your left leg and right leg to make your muscles normal again after experiencing trauma due to standing one leg and bending the other leg to learn balance. This replies, why Ari can only stand five minutes, while you are up to twenty minutes.

Ari after half an hour more standing with his left leg alone, so changed legs without sabetan Aki, suffered an indirect muscle injury, as soon as five minutes passed then the injury began to feel and made both legs weak simultaneously.”

“So you mean, the sabetage is actually like a treatment for my muscle injury?” Aditia asked.

“Ya, there you go.”

“Ami tumben stop by.” A man teased the girl. It turns out that he is the grandson of Aki Dadan, he delivers food to Aki, actually who cooks at Aki Dadan's place for his silat disciples. But because Ami sent food to his grandfather was sent from his mother, Aki Dadan's son-in-law.

“Ami, go into the house and put her challenge to Aki's dining table, after that go home. Already want dark.”

“You delivered Mi?” One man teased again.

“Later if you deliver, if there is a danger, most you can only ask me to run, is that your greatest ability?” Ami is a teenager who looks very firm, but also beautiful.

Among all the students only Aditia who was not amazed by the beauty of Ami, she was busy thinking about the sabetan earlier, whether it was true the effect as the teenage girl said, Aditia intends to prove it later.

Ami saw Aditia did not pay attention to him so curious, how can a new man not be amazed by him. Ami used to praise puja from an early age, she was famous for being very beautiful in her grandfather's village, similar to Aditia, famous for being very handsome and high in ethics.

Aditia is the brightest among the others, she is very handsome, it also makes Ami feel upset, should be a teenage boy like Aditia who drove Ami home. But why was the young man so busy thinking about something else.

The training was over, Ami was still at her grandfather's training ground, she had dinner together in a large room that served as a bed for all the disciples without a bed and without a mattress, Aki also slept there, carpeted thick enough but not as thick as a mattress.

“Ami don't go home?” Tempt another woman.

“No, Ami tired, just later.” She answered the man, but glancing at Aditia, Aditia was seen eating voraciously, she was indeed a soybean, as the others finished taking a shower and preparing for dinner, right away, he is still trying to prove Ami's words about the sabetan and its effect on the injured leg muscles.

Ami was upset, Aditia still did not turn her head, she was busy eating voraciously, while all the teenage and adult men were busy eating by staring at Ami like a very refreshing entertainment.

Unable to talk to her, Ami asks Aditia, “You're a new student?”

Aditia was silent, she was focusing on eating.

“Ami approached him and asked again in front of him.

“You're a new student?” ask again.

“Oh, yes sorry, I'm a new student.”

“Where to?”

“Jakarta.”

“Your father is like my grandfather and father?” ask again.

“Means?”

“You haven't been told who you are yet?”

Aditia just nodded her mark unconcernedly.

“You must have been upset with my grandfather?”

“No, I'm just used to asking, if there's anything I think is wrong, so I don't hate people and harbor. That's why I asked.”

“You're a different type of teenager yeah it turns out.”

“Not really, many like me, you just haven't met a lot of men.”

“Lucky I met a type like you here.”

“I'm also lucky.”

“Lucky to meet me?”

“Fortunate to be left here, so I know that leg cramps must be fouled to be stable again.”

Ami looked at Aditia with annoyance, why this man is so stupid, Ami can not be dating, he and his family do not like such a relationship. But he also did not like being ignored by new people. No one has ever treated her like that in all this time.

“You want to eat?” Ami asked again.

“No, said my father, if you visit, you should not overeat, talk excessively and should not talk carelessly.”

“You very good boy turned out.”

Aditia wakes up suddenly.

“What's up?” Ami asked.

“It's okay, I want to put the dirty plate, it's done eating!”

Ami looked at Aditia with a very annoyed look. There he was here, still wanting to chat with her and he would be left behind because of the dirty dishes! Really annoying guy, that's what Ami thinks.

Aditia to the back, there's an old lady washing dishes.

“Bu want Adit help?” tanyakanya.

“May if you want mah,” answer.

Aditia squat, because the dishwasher is on the floor, the floor is only made of cement at the back of the house, but located outside the house, it looks like this place ablution and also washing dishes.

Some students came to put the dirty dishes.

“Nih Dit, washin also yes have us,” said one student.

“Ya put it there.”

“Emang so yes how to behave, he should say thank you, right, mom?”

“Young people are different attitudes and traits. Not everyone is like you. Care and want to see the difficulties of others. That's why you're different.”

“Ah, not even Mom, actually everyone is the same, but the family and environment that make up a person.” Aditia answered seriously. He believed it because his father and mother were what he is today.

“Dit is done, now you are back to rest yes, we are all happy you are here, I can at least chat with you.”

Aditia stopped for a while, instead of these plates were still a lot, why in an instant finished, but she did not want to think long, she finally got up and came back.

“Eh Dit, I just finished eating, want naro dishes let you washin.” Said one of the students when Aditia was back in the big room.

“There is still a mother .. whose name forgot to ask earlier. There is still a mother who washes dishes in the back,” aditia replied.

“Hah? who?” asked the other student, he was the one who had mocked Aditia in the back while washing dishes.

“That's you, the mother who was washing dishes I helped you.”

“So you're alone again, so I say that rarely anyone helps wash dishes, because we're all doing our own dishes here, wash your own clothes and who help cook here are also men, tuh the man.” The student pointed to the chef of this training ground who was eating as well.

“You didn't see mom earlier?” Aditia was worried.

“No! swear toh!”

Some people began to approach Aditia and sat around Aditia.

“Emang wear what shirt?” ask other students who have just joined.

“Buye huh? earlier wear yellow.” color shirt

“Daster?”

“Not.”

“Sleeping clothes?”

“Not, that .. kebaya.”

“Hah, kebaya, do you wash dishes using kebaya?”

“Iya, kebaya, rags, konde with red rose skewers and ...”

“Dit, I get goosebumps! Don't-don't it ... Mbok Asni!” All screaming at the same time.

“Mbok Asni?”

“Yes, she is a middle-aged woman who likes to flirt in this place, Dit.”

“Shadows, doesn't he mean human?”

“Iya, ghost.”

“Not, demon tau!” the students argue.

“Oh, gitu.”

“You're ordinary for the response, you're not afraid?”

“No, why?”

“Dit, you are really weird, time is not afraid?”

“Ya, the thing ...”

“Dit! Here.” Aki Dadan called out to him in a hurry, everyone was shocked, Aditia approached Aki and followed him out, then they sat on the sidelines with bitter coffee.

“Adit have met Mbok Asni?”

“Aki know? Mbok Asni said disciples of demons or ghosts.”

“Dit, not everyone here is the same as us, there are a few, but mostly just ordinary youths, we used to hide our identity. So Adit should pretend to be afraid or even pretend not to see ya.”

“Oh so, sorry Ki, Adit think here is different. Unlike at home Adit had to hide what Adit saw. But it turns out the same, sorry Ki.”

“Yes, Adit has a lot to learn, take advantage of the time here, you are only one or two weeks here until your father ..”.

“My father why Ki?”

“Your father picked up.” Aki forgot that Aditia could not know Mulyana's condition, so she deflected her words, fortunately not terkeplosan.

“That's Mbok Asni, he's leaving home.”

Aditia and Ki Dadan nodded to tell him he was passing by and was about to go home.

“Mbok Asni frequent here Ki?”

“Yes, he comes here often just foraging, chatting with me or sometimes if there is a problem he will help.”

“Oh so, then why is everyone so afraid of him, he is not creepy, more creepy that I see around my house.”

“That's not scary, doesn't mean it's not dangerous. Remember, we are different in nature, do not let yourself be complacent.”

“Means Ki?”

“Our world and his world are different, no matter how close you are to friends, but they are not of our people, the caliphs of this earth. They are from different dzat, so we do not know when they will rule us, so set your position as leader, caliph, not slave. Understand?”

“No Ki, sorry.” Later Adit's stupidity like this that makes Hartino and Ganding often upset. Aditia likes to ask questions and is lazy to think.

“If they want to make friends, accept. But if they rule you must firmly refuse. Don't accept help without you knowing you can give it back. Suppose you ask for information, then offer the exchange something similar, namely information. Don't offer dowry, because that means you made a deal.”

“Mahar is what Ki?”

“Yes Allah Aditia! You're a teenager, didn't your father tell you about this?”

“No, dad just said I shouldn't tell my family what I saw, because they'll be scared.”

“Oh Mulyana is still the same, she seems heavy making you one like us. All right, the dowry is an exchange that makes you and ‘they’ intertwined. Suppose you ask for help removing the witchcraft on someone who contracted witchcraft through the genie under the ability of the genie who befriends you, you must offer him something that is not alive, he said, does not make a living and completely break up or die.”

“Example?”

“Do not offer him a collision because this is obviously something alive, it can be human, fetus or even animal, it will make ‘they’ become more greedy and ask for more. Food, coffee, dirt or something like that, because it's a livelihood, once you give it, it'll starve and stick to you. Lastly, something that really breaks, you can give her a keris, clothes, shroud, heirloom, flower vase. Because inanimate objects make people happy for a moment and will not like you too much anymore.”

“Oh it's all called dowry huh Ki?”

“Yes, everything I mentioned just now was dowry and consequently.”

“So don't give something alive, give it life and give it inanimate. I'll remember that. Oh yes, one more Ki, what kind of plant?”

“That plant is inanimate or alive?”

“Life Ki.”

“Trus you still ask!” Aki's upset.

“Ya means not allowed, but why if other people from other regions are different huh Ki, they like to give food or even more evil tumbal.”

“Different customs and beliefs handling. But for us descendants of Pasundan, there is no compromise for the jinn, when we say go from someone's body, we will not give dowry, we will expel him or ‘they’ we will beat all out. The school of Pasundan hates to make a covenant with the evil jinn, because it is a sign that we are weak. Until here understand?”

“Yes, understand, but Adit isn't sure it will be as strong as Aki.”

“Young Aki was also unsure, then you should study and forge yourself, understand?”Aki patted Aditia hard on the shoulder until Aditia was in pain.

“Sick Ki, what is it to make me healthier again?”

“Blow shoulder earlier?”

“Iya, like the sabetan earlier this afternoon.”

“No, that I just want to pat you on the shoulder, you're too plain, but I like.”

“Aki! I thought you wanted to teach me another lesson.” Aditia was disappointed, she we hit the shoulder hard it was one of the lessons.

Aki went inside Aditia still sitting outside.

Although he misses his father, his mother and little sister Dita. But here it feels very comfortable, Aditia can practice and get a lot of knowledge. She actually likes to come with her father ‘ pick up and drop off’, But her father tends to be busy and rarely gives an explanation, Aditia just sees and captures for herself what her father did. He has also been busy lately so rarely come with his father again to ride the invitation.

But Aki Dadan is fierce, but he is full of knowledge and that makes Aditia comfortable.

Aditia went inside and saw everyone after the prayer isya immediately rushed to sleep, is not it too early to sleep, still eight o'clock.

“Kok are you ready to sleep?” Aditia asked one of her new friends.

“Yes sleep, tomorrow must wake up at 2 for tahajud prayers, then continue energy training in the early hours, after which we pray at dawn dzikir continued until entering dhuha time.”

“Oh so, deserved we have to sleep as early as this.” Aditia finally forced herself to go to sleep.

“Ami's home?” Ask someone who sleeps next to Aditia on her side again.

“Udah, again ushered Aki. If dianteraner Aki, who dares to disturb, let alone begal, demit aja afraid. You've never seen him talking to a tree in the back alone no?”

It turns out Aki Dadan wasn't in place. It's appropriate for everyone to chat, even though tomorrow the schedule is crowded he said, Aditia lazy to hear, she wants to force sleep.

“Eh said Ami is also actually not that beautiful anymore, he said she was wearing a stacking so we are all fascinated by her,” said one of the students at will.

“Iya yes, because it is beautiful beyond reason anyway.”

“Iya, I'm sure so.”

“No! Ami does not use shrinkage.” Aditia gets upset and answers.

“Dih sure very much you, new people too, mentang-matang was samperin Ami.”

“No, I'm not pretentious, but I don't see ...”

A disciple who slept far away looked at Aditia and used his eyes to ask Aditia to be quiet. He is one of the Charisma Jagat as well. He asked Aditia to be quiet and not explain.

“Do not see what?” Another student who was an ordinary person urged Aditia to continue her words.

“Do not see strange things, just like other women, not too conspicuous.”

“Ah is mah because you feel handsome, so used to be brought by beautiful girls.”

“Udah we just sleep, tomorrow he said we have to work hard to exercise.” Aditia then fell asleep again.

“Huhhh! You like the audience!”
