ALAS ROBAN - SEARCH

Mbah Woto made a line on the ground and requested that Azam's father step over the line using one foot. While the other leg remains in its original place. He warned Azam's father not to step anywhere or shift the position of his feet.

"Why can't you shift mbah?" ask Azam's father.

"Because of this nature of peeking, you just observe first before actually looking for Azam to another realm! since this is a peek then, they will not know about your existence. The point is, don't get all your legs, step there! if that you do the same as you go into other realms and I have to find you too later. You can also hide them. Please obey my words! When you're done observing, please decide to come find me or wait for me here!" mbah Woto.

"Good mba."

"Now, open your eyes slowly!"

"Yes." Yeah."

Azam's father opened his eyes slowly and saw a very different atmosphere. The forest around him turned into a village. The houses there look like old houses in the countryside that still use bamboo walls and layered with soil.

"Be careful, don't move your legs!"

"Yes." Yeah."

Soon, several jinn appeared with a look that was very unsightly. Part of his face was wrinkled as if it had been doused in hot water. Her hair is just a few. There are also those whose eyes are only one while the other eyes are only the petals. There are also those whose bodies are covered in feathers and many others. The atmosphere there looks normal like the villagers except for their diverse appearance and of course, arguably, ugly. Many have incomplete limbs.

"Hows it? still want to continue? which as you see this, new ordinary things, not yet that have the form of half an animal," said Mbah Woto.

"Yes, I'm still looking!" answer Azam's father steadily.

"Alright, you two (Bima and Azam's mother) remain silent here, help us pray!"

"Good altar," replied Bima and Azam's mother together.

Mbah Woto nodded his head as he stepped foot into their dimension.

"Hold my shirt, sir!" the Pinta mbah Woto.

"Yes mbah."

Mbah Woto began to commute before then stepped and disappeared from the sight of Bima and Azam's mother.

"Well.."

"Relax aunt, maybe they have entered the supernatural realm" said Bima.

"Oh, yes.."

Both of them could only wait while continuing to pray in their hearts.

...🍂🍂🍂...

In the supernatural realm, Mbah Woto and Azam's father are confronted by several large-bodied creatures. Mbah Woto called it buto. There were about four butos who came and immediately raised a rough-pitched question.

"Would you guys come here? you're not welcome here!" say one of them.

"Sorry! we want to meet a figure named Puspa Ayu," replied Mbah Woto.

"Go home! don't you dare come here again!"

"We'll be back after we meet him. At least we should discuss."

"Please!"

A moment later, there was a voice of a woman who asked the buto to bring the Mbah Woto and Azam's father to meet her.

"You heard that, right? walk quickly!" the same buto pinta as the ketus.

Mbah Woto and Azam's father also walked in the footsteps of the butos in front of them.

...🍂🍂🍂...

In the human realm, the day is dark. Azam's mother was agitated because her husband had not been seen. Bima asked what would Azam's mother do? Whether it's waiting here or why, she's a woman. Bima was worried that waiting in the forest would make her feel scared and uncomfortable.

"Good aunt, aunty please accompany me to find firewood! so that we don't get scattered."

"Yes come!"

...🍂🍂🍂...

Meanwhile, Mbah Woto and Azam's father have arrived at a very magnificent house, like a palace. Azam's father was surprised to see him.

"This is the house of bu lurah. Puspa Ayu is the only daughter of bu lurah" explained buto.

"Bu Lurah's house is this grand? it doesn't make sense" Azam's father chirped unconsciously because he was so open.

"About!" snapped buto.

"Sorry!" said Azam's father later.

Mbah Woto approached while whispering into Azam's father's ear.

"This is all just a genie's ruse. Their real dwellings are very shabby, they like garbage and dirty places. He purposely made a ruse like this because we're human, we like something like this."

"Oh, yeah, I understand."

"Hurry in!" snatch the buto once again.

"Treat my father-in-law well!" a voice came back which was clear, it was Ayu's voice.

The Butos nodded in understanding.

...🍂🍂🍂...

Azam's mother took out a bushel containing food that she planned to give Azam if he was found. Unfortunately, until nightfall, Azam, Azam's father and Mbah Woto have not seen the trunk of his nose. As a result, the food was eaten together with Bima. However, their stomachs must be filled in order not to get sick.

...🍂🍂🍂...

The buto took Azam's father and Mbah Woto to a fairly large room. There was a long table with many chairs on the sides. Both were asked to sit and wait. After saying that, the butos retreated, standing guard around the door. A moment later, came some female genies who looked beautiful like humans in general. Each of them brought a tray filled with food. Diverse food in the serving. Fruits are not served. The aroma of cooking pierces the sense of smell.

"Please eat!" said one of the servants gently.

"How's mbah?" ask Azam's father.

"Don't eat! this is all garbage and dead animals."

Hearing Woto's answer made Azam's father choked.

...🍂🍂🍂...

"How long is Bim?"

"Bima doesn't know auntie either. We are indeed different in nature from them, maybe the negotiations are also difficult because of that difference. After all, they want to hold Azam while we, want to take Azam. Can't they just give it to her?"

"Yes but the aunt was afraid that Azam's father and Mbah Woto were trapped there too."

"Hmmm.. Bima is also worried about the same thing but, we can do nothing but pray."

"Aunty is not willing if they bring aunty child," said Azam's mother accompanied by tears that she can no longer bear.

Bima can only be quiet while trying to calm down.

"Yes, please Azam! help his father and Mbah Woto too! save them, save us all!" pinta Bima in the heart.

"Auntie calm down! we continue to pray! sincere prayers are heard! especially the parents' prayer for his son."

Azam's mother nodded and prayed again, asking for help from the almighty.
