Legacies
Go away

Eka and dad today fast. Mother and brother Fadli also Fani follow the fast.

This Monday they finally all fast. And as she began to fast, Eka felt that there was someone behind her. While at school, Eka starts to see strange things.

Class 1 at 11.45 were asked to go to the hall. They will be given an announcement for the class. And there will be an entrance test for the majors.

I walk with other friends. Suddenly Eka felt someone touch her shoulder. Eka looked back. There were only a few children and it was a good distance away, there was no way they could touch Eka's shoulder.

Eka walked back. Eka heard a heavy voice calling her name right in her ear.

"Ekaa." Eka felt the fine hairs all over her body standing up. But Eka did not make that sound.

Eka had already entered the hall and was sitting in the middle row. In the hall are attached photos on the wall. There was one photo of a mother that made Eka look on long enough and the mother in the photo nodded her head.

One of the teachers gave an announcement about the majors and the test will be held in the hall on Thursday at 1 pm.

Eka felt that all the photos displayed on the walls of the hall were looking at her.

I did not hear any explanation from the teacher.

"Eca... Eka... Eka...." Eka heard her name mentioned by some people.

I was looking for someone who called his name.

"Eka, what the hell are you doing? I noticed earlier, you were restless. What's up?"

"With papa Dina, I'm going to the bathroom, I'm going to pee."

"Sama, I'm gonna pee too, but it's not over yet."

"Eat him I'm resistant."

"I think you're why, it turns out pee."

Eka just nodded.

Eka felt her chair being pulled and made Eka fall from her chair and everything was dark.

Eka woke up and sat down. He slept in a bamboo bale. Eka looked around, she was confused, where she was. Old house because the walls of bamboo and the floor is still ground.

Eka was still looking down at the floor which was just a tileless ground

"Si nduk is awake. Let's eat together."

"Whose princess is this?" Eka was confused suddenly there was an old grandmother who was wearing kemben and cloth.

"I am your mbah? You're my bitch."

"Right of hand?"

"Wis, eat first. grandma I nganggo Javanese, yourself must be confused. Come, wis in wait karo mbah Kakung."

"Bah Kakung?"

"Yes, yeah,. Wis come on anyway. The girl's a doormat ojo."

"Yes mbah." Eka followed Mbah Putri out of the room without much noise.

Mbah Kakung is already sitting on a bamboo bale and bigger. There was already food and equipment to eat from clay.

"Kene, lenggah neng kene (here sit here)." Eka sits next to Mbah Kakung.

"Don't be confused, are you my challenge?"

"What is Mbah Kakung?"

"Unfortunately, your father's grandfather had parents. And you're my bitch." Eka mangosteen.

"Bue let's go manganese."

The princess sat down and they ate. There's rice but it's black and it looks hard, there's tempeh and there's eggplant."

I eat and have a hard time swallowing it. Eka took a drink that had been poured from the jug by Mbah Putri.

"Oh my God, where am I really? why am I suddenly here, not that I was at school in the hall listening to the announcement." Eka spoke in heart

"Don't be confused why you're here. You're only here for a while because you've eaten, you'll love something. You take a while. Now you're asleep, until you wake up just as Maghriban."

"But Mbah Kakung, does it have to be like this? Why did Eka have to be taken to the past?"

"Assalamu'alaikum pak'e, I'm home."

"Wa'allaikumsalam yo le."

"Sir, ma'am, why is this kid here?"

"Wis kowe is calm. Mengko dibalek. I'm on tour giving karo the nduk."

"Ojo sir, Eka is not strong yet. Poor thing."

"I sing understand, fat strong opo ora. I am the Destiny. But this legacy I must love so that this child is strong and not disturbed anymore."

"This is Mbah who last night rescued me from that woman?"

Si Mbah who turned out to be Mbah Kakung's son nodded.

"So Eka is currently at Mbah Eka's house?"

"Nduk nduk."

"Eka wants to go home now. Mute. Poor mother must be worried."

"Eka, can go home but Eka must fast monday and Thursday for 24 hours. It cannot be denied so that you understand life. Not to torture but let your heart be clean and pray more."

"Yes Mbah. Eka's gonna do a fast Monday Thursday 24 hours."

"Let's go to the spring. Mbah Putri, come to help replace the cloth that will be used Eka."

"But Mbah, Eka only believes in Allah SWT, not in things like this."

"Sir, this can't be our ancestral heritage. We were taught 2 things. Real and spiritual world. Know that you pray diligently. Mbah does not ask you to forget prayer and trust Allah SWT. We got this also from Sing Duwe Donya."

Finally Eka wanted and followed Mbah Kakung and Mbah Putri to the spring.

I was shocked to see the water. There were a lot of weird and scary things that Eka had never seen.

Eka was led by Mbah Putri to use a cloth and her clothes were all removed. I still wear my uniform."

Eka went into the water led by Mbah Putri, while Mbah Kakung had entered the water.

She was asked to sit on a rock with her legs crossed. Eka followed what Mbah Kakung ordered. He wants to be done and be able to return to his world.

I was asked to close my eyes and focus on praying.

Eka did dhikr, a few minutes later Eka felt herself being pulled down and circling. I feel alone and dark. There was a speck of light but far away, and Eka felt her hand pull up. But the pull from the bottom grew stronger and Eka let go of the hand that pulled her up. But the hand could get Eka's hand back and as it was struck, the pull from below came loose. The hand kept pulling Eka up until Eka saw the light that dazzled her eyes.

Eka heard a voice to open her eyes slowly.

Eka according. The light made more glare, but Eka tried to open her eyes and heard the sound of many people saying Al Fatihah.

Eka vaguely saw the mother, father, brother Fadli and brother Fani also pakde, bude and sister of his father.

"Alhamdulillah, Eka. Are you conscious, son? Mother is afraid of you why-why. Fortunately, I picked up the captain earlier. Pakde comes and holds your hand.

" Mother, Eka is already at the mother's house?"

"Yes dear. Eka has returned with father, mother and sister Fadli and brother Fani."

Eka saw his hand held by Pakde.

"What time is mom? The light of the room.

"Hour 9 Nights Eka. Want to break the fast now?"

"Tomorrow mornings. It feels like cape once."

"Leave it first. Let Eka rest. He will break his own fast. Abi, I've been feeling but sorry, I just got to come see my bangs. Fortunately quickly otherwise, Eka could have passed."

"Yes Pakde, matur nuwun sanget."

"Pakde, can Eka's hands be removed?"

"Yes. Pakde patted Eka's hand, head and forehead, then let go of Eka's hand."
