Before the Susilo prince held the title of the richest man and also the most influential person in the entire village even the village, he used to be known only as an ordinary farmer, he was a farmer, it can even be said that he is only a wage worker for people who need his energy.
Yes, let alone have land, while to support his family, sometimes he had to work very extra in the fields owned by the people of Pandan Sari Village. All that Susilo did in order to get a bigger wage, so that he could be brought home to eat his wife and two children.
In fact, occasionally he had to rack his brain hard to find loans to neighbors, as well as to residents in his village. It can be said, almost every citizen or neighbor ever he came to borrow money . Until famous at that time not as a loan shark, but as a debtor. But he never once did not pay the loan, although sometimes he had to pay the loan late, it was caused because it happened to coincide with the needs of his family who had been very urgent.
In fact, in order to be able to pay the loan, he had to be willing to hold his stomach hungry, and only drink sweet tea as a booster of his hungry stomach. What a situation that is inversely proportional to Susilo who is now known as the richest man and has a lot of land and a few stalls in the market. The longer, the more difficult the life lived by Susilo and his family, sometimes they have to endure hunger, because there is not the slightest rice to be cooked. While wanting to owe to the stall was no longer able, because the debt he had in some stalls had piled up. So, the owner of the shop was reluctant to give any more debt to Susilo.
Once upon a time, when their rice supply was running out, his wife went to their grocery store to owe the rice from the stall. Hoping that the owner of the shop would still give him a debt, however, not the rice he got, but a cry of the wife with pain, full of pain, as a result has become a gossip from mothers who at that time want to shop at the stall.
" Ee sir, mother is not able to live like this sir, not ungrateful mother, but mother can not stand the talk and gossip from mothers in this village sir, it hurts this time the heart sir," Susilo's wife said, weeping with a sigh in front of Susilo. He who saw his wife crying could not do anything, because he was very ashamed of his wife. Because he felt he had failed to become a husband and also the father of his two children who could not make them happy.
" Oh my god, what should I do, so that my children and my wife may I be happy, my God" Susilo murmured in his heart.
" Patiently, please pray that their insults and insults on us will turn into an applause, I promise to try to make you happy," susilo said to his wife who was still seen crying. In fact, deep in Susilo's mind, he did not know where and how he could get money quickly, so that he could immediately make his family happy.
" Ibuk can still be patient sir, but as our children sir, they should feel able to enjoy happiness in their childhood, not even suffer like we are sir, hiiikks,,,,, instead,,, hikkkss," shrieked his wife Susilo as he ceaselessly let out his tears.
Seeing the state of his wife who looked so sad and languished, then Susilo immediately approached his wife.
"Yes, I'm calm, ma'am, I will definitely try to find a lot of money anyway. So that our family is not always the subject of humiliation and also ridicule from the people of this village buk," said Susilo while hugging and kissing his beloved wife's forehead.
He immediately walked away without direction and purpose, he also did not tell his wife where he was going, because what was in his mind and mind at this time, he said, He should be able to become a rich man in a quick way. So that no one will insult his family in the village anymore.
Susilo who continued to walk without that direction has now entered the plantation area of the population, occasionally he turned to the farmers who were working on farming. Regardless of the situation around him, he continued to walk down the path that was in the plantation area, until finally he immediately approached an asem tree which was quite large and lush then immediately sat under the tree.
The tree itself is located quite far from the plantation area. So, the impression of haunted and the atmosphere that feels creepy as if enveloping the tree. But it was not ignored by Susilo, because what was on his mind now was just a wealth and luxury so that he and his family would never get another insult from someone else.
" After all, and in any way, I must be able to be rich and respected, so that I can repay my heartache to all those who have insulted and demeaned me and my family." murmured Susilo while still seen leaning on the trunk of the asem tree.
Until finally Susilo immediately fell asleep in that place. And whether it was a dream or just a hallucination of Susilo, suddenly in the vision, Susilo saw an old man, with his clothes all black, then his face covered in a cloak, Susilo, coupled with his gray beard, seen walking toward Susilo. Even the old man was instantly already right in front of him. Susilo was immediately surprised not to play. When looking at the figure of an old man who is actually the incarnation of his tribe Mbah Jambrong. He had indeed obtained the duty of Nyai Queen Sekar Arum to meet Susilo.
Because unknown to Susilo, Nyai Queen Sekar Arum turned out to have known all about Susilo, even the desire of Susilo who wanted to become a very rich man. So, when Nyai Ratu Sekar Arum saw the existence of Susilo at that time also immediately ordered Mbah jambrong to immediately meet Susilo to the subconscious Susilo.
Mbah Jambrong is one of the confidants of Nyai Ratu Sekar Arum, or can be said to be the key link between the human realm and also the supernatural realm where Nyai Ratu Sekar Arum resides. He was assigned to give Susilo a clue, so that Susilo would meet Nyai Queen Sekar Arum in his palace.
" You need not be surprised by my presence Susilo, because I already know what you are looking for" said the old man who immediately added to Susilo's confusion.
"Maa, what do genies mean,? susilo tried to dare to ask.
" You want wealth fast, don't you,? you also want to avenge that heartache, right ,? the old man told Susilo who still looked scared.
" He is, that's true, but how do you know what I want,? so how do I become a rich man soon,? ask Susilo curiously.
" If you really want all that to happen soon, you immediately go to a cave, which is located at the foot of Mount Merangin. Take you there, until the time you will be met by Nyai Queen Sekar Arum, who will later give you the wealth and will also help you to avenge your heartache Susilo" said the old man explained with a heavy tone as he disappeared and disappeared instantly from the eyes of Susilo.
"Wusssssssh..!!!
"With just a blink of an eye, the mysterious old man disappeared. Along with the disappearance of the old man, Susilo was jolted and then immediately he woke up from his sleep.
" Hooaammmm,,!!
"was I just dreaming, huh,?
" But if it's just a dream, why does it look so real,?
" And what did the old man mean to tell me to go to a cave,?
" Is that really a clue to me, that I should go there,? susilo murmured in a heart that was now filled with question marks.
" Wait a minute, is the mountain meant by the mysterious man located not far from the hill mayangan.? susilo also remembered the location of the Mount Merangin.
" Hmmmm..well, I'd better get there soon, so that I can make my wife and children happy as soon as possible" Susilo said.
Susilo again made up his mind, to immediately carry out what was commanded by the mysterious old man he saw in his dream. Rushing Susilo immediately rose from his seat, then stood up and immediately went to leave to immediately go towards the direction of Mount Merangin.
