On the way home

Before Gayatri came home, Grandfather Parjo picked fruit in his garden to give to Gayatri as a thank you. Gayatri was brought home by Grandpa Parjo on his motorcycle. While Gandi had gone home first to his Kingdom because his father suddenly called.

" Thank you, Grandpa has brought me and also gave me fruit" Gayatri said when she arrived at her house.

" Yes,sama-sama. Grandpa went home first, right ? " said Grandpa Parjo with a smile

" Yes, be careful . "Reply Gayatri who was smiling

Gayatri then went into her yard. The girl came home with papaya fruit, corn , guava , and cucumber fruit .

" Sat.tok.tok...Om swastyastu" said Gayatri knocking on the door while saying hello

" Of swastyastu" replied Luh Ani as she opened the door of her house.

"Gayatri, who were you with ? Mother had accidentally seen from the window that you got off the motorcycle, "said his mother while looking at Gayatri's hand carrying fruit.

" Against my friend's grandfather, Bu." Gayatri said while looking at her mother

" Then what is it ? " asked his mother while pointing towards Gayatri's hand which was carrying a lot of fruit.

" It's fruit, Bu. My friend's grandfather gave it to me, "Gayatri answered while giving the fruit to her mother.

" Well, they're very nice. Have you thanked them ? " ask his mother

" It's been , Bu. "Sahut Gayatri

" Yes already , then let's go in ! " Reply to his mother

Luh Ani then cut the papaya fruit that had just been brought by Gayatri

" Come on, eat the fruit first." His mother said while putting papaya fruit that has been cut into pieces

"Well, that looks good." Said Gayatri who immediately approached her mother.

" Don't forget to pray before you eat" said Luh Ani.

" Yes, Bu ." Gayatri answered, saying a prayer.

After finishing eating papaya fruit, Gayatri then helped his mother make canang for sale.

According to Hindus, especially in Bali, the word CANANG comes from sukukata 'CA' which means beautiful, while the word 'NANG' means purpose. So that this can be defined if the canang is a means to achieve the goal of the beauty before God.

Every morning and evening he sells canang in front of his house. Every day he makes canang about 2000 picis.Dan Gayatri always helps his mother make canang or bring orders for her neighbors . While Wayan Rasta is currently in the garden next to his house, he is now busy harvesting bananas.

" Mom, where did you actually get this bracelet I was wearing ? " ask Gayatri while wrapping the canang.

" I was just wondering, Mom. Because thanks to this bracelet they cannot bother me. Try if I don't wear this bracelet, maybe they won't let me live quietly" Gayatri said

" This bracelet was given by Jro Balian (shaman ) when you were a baby." Said his mother

" Mom, who exactly is Jro Balian(dukun) ? You often say his name, but I do not know who Jro Balian (shaman ). And his name is also very famous in the community, " said Gayatri.

" Jro Balian (shaman ) is a man who has the ability to treat the sick." Luh Ani explained

" Where did he get that ability ? " tanya Gayatri with raised eyebrows

" The ability of a Jro Balian (shaman) can be obtained in various ways, and it can be seen based on the goals and knowledge possessed by a Balian (shaman). Based on its purpose there are two types of Balian (shamans ), namely Balian Panengen (good) and Balian Pangiwa (evil ). Balian Panengen is Balian whose purpose is to treat people who are sick until they become cured. Balian(shaman ) this does not distinguish people, want to treat bad or good people, he will still treat. While Balian (shaman) Pangiwa is Balian whose goal is to make healthy people sick, and sick people become sicker." Luh Ani said

" That means we have to be careful if we want to find a Jro Balian (shaman) huh ? " ask Gayatri while looking at her mother.

" Yes, of course" his mother replied

" When a Jro Balian(shaman) is seen based on his knowledge, what does it mean, Bu ? " ask Gayatri again

"If based on his knowledge can be divided into 4 types, namely Balian Kapican, Katakson, Usadha, and mixed. Balian(shaman ) Kapican is a Balian (shaman ) who got expertise because of obtaining a lucky and nutritious object that can be used to heal the sick .Usually the object is obtained from a premonition either in the form of a dream or other clues. Usually the objects can be in the form of gemstones, keris, rings and others. Example of our next door neighbor." Luh Ani

" What do our neighbors get, Mom ? " asked Gayatri with raised eyebrows.

" He dreamed of picking coconuts in his garden. In his garden he only had 2 coconut trees. First he did not pay attention to his dream, because he thought that it was just a sleeping flower, but every time he slept the dream kept coming , until finally he decided to pluck all the coconuts in his garden. Coconut fruit that is picked directly in peel, and it is definitely the content of meat and coconut water, but only one coconut fruit whose contents are different. " Said Luh Ani

" What is it, Mom ? "asked Gayatri

" In the coconut fruit does not contain meat and coconut water, but the contents are an oil with a large amount, approximately there are about 1 aqua bottle that contains 1500 ml. This oil is mirib cooking oil, it just smells very strange. Then he dreamed of searching for his ancestors, and his ancestors told him to use the oil to treat the sick. Then he finally used the medicine to treat the sick. Your grandmother used to be sick and then brought there. And it turns out your grandmother is actually healed. But it doesn't heal right away. Grandma went there 2 times a week, and she used to go there until she was fully healed" Luh Ani said while sewing the canang

" I think it'll heal right away" Gayatri said

" Where there is like that, all treatment must be done gradually" said Luh Ani

" Well, that's great, Mom. " Said Gayatri

" Of course, if God has willed then anything can happen." Luh Ani smiled

"Then if Jro Balian (shaman ) Kitakson how , Bu ? " ask her daughter again

" Not Kitakson Nak, but his name is Katakson . "Father

" Yes that means, Mom. I had forgotten his name because his name was a little strange" said Gayatri with a smile.
