The Existence [ On Hold ]

Another Presence

An old man wore three quarter length black trousers and black collarless shirt carry his hand behind his back. He was standing in his firm legs. His breath was sometimes heavy. He took long pause in his breath. His face depicted that he had an important thought. In front of him, there were many people sitting on the floor making circle. It was almost twenty people. All of them wore dark clothes. They assembled in large gazebo with the floor in the ground. The pillar was made from wood while the roof was from dried grass. The grass was enough to prevent them from rain soak. The meeting was in silent until their leader said something.

"The time is coming. We have to prepare ourselves. We must believe that our fight is worthy for our community". The man who was the only one standing was their leader.

"We must gather our strength to prevent Wijaya knowing his debt. That is mean, we must not allow him enter those world" the chief as an old men explained to his subordinate about their duty to prevent Wijaya enter the world where his debt is kept.

"What should we do that then Mr. Trenggolo?" the only girl whom sat in the circle asked him.

"I think you have a good insight Rani" the old men smirk, talking to the girl whose name is Rani.

"If you don't mind, I will take my duty Sir" she accentuated her sentence.

"You will work in second plan. Wijaya can not back from those world except he accept Kusuma's energy. Her willingness will become a strength to him to go back to our world. You have to learn mimicking Kusuma's energy to deceive him. He will be disappoint knowing that you are the one who pull him from those world but he can't refused the debt from you. To pay his debt he must marry you. I need your child as our new ruler. It prevent him to go back to the human world fulfilling his debt. That's mean our existence is maintained."

"Understand Sir. I will meet her when the time comes. I will watch her starting today"

"I lean on you"

"Yes Sir"

"We will execute the plan only if we fail to prevent Wijaya from his entrance. I will head to head with the old hermit. I hope all of you continue for preventing other energy disturbing us. All of you must block the connection line to the other guard. Dipo has the ability asking help from the other guard. Don't make it leak. Do you understand?" he didn't forget to mention the guard of Javanese land in which the leak of this information can cause his energy caught by the guard. The guard will make justification to find who was responsible for disobey the rule of Javanese land.

Javanese land have many histories. Once upon a time there are two power exist in Javanese land. The land almost occupied by Majapahit kingdom except the land in south west which called Parahyangan. To make the existence of Majapahit stronger, wedding sceme was created. Unfortunately missunderstanding happened. It caused war.

It was the first time Wijaya and Kusuma story begin. Kusuma whose from Parahyangan died in her suicide for her pride, from those time Wijaya can't stop blaming his self. Therefore he took a promise to lock his heart, no body can enter his heart except her. He resign from his authority then became a hermitage. He came to Parahyangan land to prevent misunderstanding between both Kingdom and avoid the blood revenge. Using his ability he make the Parahyangan land disappeared along with the people. He done it to avoid blood war. He could do it using power that he got from his hermitance. Along with his missing, the Majapahit power also going down. By the time Kusuma and Wijaya was born in different time, situation, and condition where Parahyangan and Majapahit haven't been exist anymore, but they were destined to meet again and finished their unfinished story. They need to realize who are they as quick as possible.

"Yes Sir" all the Siluman which sat in gazebo make their loyalty scream to the leader. The leader made them dispered.

Instead of dispered Rani stand and came close to the leader.
"Sir, may I ask you?"
"Of course, what is it Rani?"
