Unlike what Batari Mahadewi imagined, it turned out to make his mother know who he was not too difficult. Although the body of the beautiful girl has completely changed and may not be recognized again, but it turns out Nyi Turmeric still recognizes her son through the way Tari speaks and calls her ‘ibu’.
Nyi Turmeric could not resist the tears of happiness because his son came home. He hugged his only favorite child for a long time. Nala and Vidyana felt overwhelmed and bitter. How happy it is to have a mother who is always waiting for her child to come home.
Several times Nyi Turmeric visited the padepokan to see the news of Batari Mahadewi, but he never met his daughter there. And once his special son came, he was already a teenager.
“Who is that handsome man and beautiful lady, my son?” asked Nyi Turmeric after the kangen hug ceremony was over.
“This is Nala and her sister, Vidyana. They are my traveling companions, mother,” said Batari Mahadewi. He wanted to say that the man was his lover and that the woman was his sister. Yes, the special girl is still shy and also does not want to dismantle the fabric of love to anyone.
“Come all go inside. I will make delicious dishes for you,” said Nyi Turmeric. Hmm.cook. For Batari Mahadevi, the simple and potluck cuisine of her mother is a gift. She always loved her mother's cooking.
“I'll help mom,” says Batari Mahadewi.
Not much has changed in that tiny wooden house. All are still the same, even Batari Mahadewi's room is still as neat as it used to be when he left it.
Fortunately in the tiny house there are three rooms that are enough to accommodate Nala and Vidyana. More precisely the room for Vidyana because Nala just sat guard all night in the living room or outside the house. How pity. I don't know when he dared to sleep.
While accompanying his mother cooking vegetables and rice, Batari Mahadewi recounted his adventures during this time.
“Mother is really hard to believe. There have not been two years you left, after returning you are already this big,” said Nyi Turmeric in a happy tone. He ceaselessly felt grateful.
“If Nala and I were not trapped in the other world that I told you about earlier, maybe I was still her little girl mother who did not change much,” Batari said.
“Hahaha, right. So, surely you won't be able to stay at home for long, right?" ask Nyi Turmeric.
"Maybe it won't be long, mother" replied Batari Mahadewi.
"It's okay, my son. Mom understands. Your responsibilities are as big as a swordsman. And rest assured, you are destined for that. Later I will tell you something that I have been saving. I don't know that, but you can definitely understand it.” Nyi Turmeric.
Batari Mahadewi. But he refused to ask immediately. He chose to wait for his own mother who would convey what was being kept secret by her mother.

“When are you coming, my son?” ki Gading Putih asked welcoming the youngest disciple and the two people who were with him.
“So morning, teacher, and I took with me two colleagues that I knew on the way, Nala and sister Vdyana,” replied Batari Mahadewi.
Ki Gading Putih welcomed Nala and Vidyana although he knew that the two figures were black warriors with special abilities.
“An honor, two great warriors paid a visit to our club,” said Ki Gading Putih.
The elder warrior and the three young warriors then exchanged stories over the various events they experienced. All the news cast a gloomy shadow over the horrors that would unfold in plain sight.
“But if you can make an heirloom weapon like you said earlier, maybe we-we're this old one can help a little. It feels impossible to fight the demonic creatures just by relying on ordinary heirloom weapons. But, it is also difficult to crush the demonic creature and the power of Tirayamani to its roots. But we must remain confident, at least in Mahabhumi, we must not not fight,” said Ki Gading Putih. His face seemed full of thought.
“Therefore, teacher, I plan for the next few days to make heirloom weapons here. If the teacher allows, I want to find the material hidden in the cave behind the holy heart waterfall,” said Batari mahadevi. Since the beginning of the girl came to the plaza, he already knew that behind the waterfall there is a great power that could be derived from high-quality earth materials.
“Of course, my son, you can find anything you can use from there. I haven't finished exploring the contents of the cave myself. I don't know where the depth is. Increasingly, you can find a variety of natural mustika and high-quality metals. But I don't have any knowledge of heirloom weapon materials. Of course you understand this better,” said Ki Gading Putih.
“Let's calm teacher, me and Nala will browse the cave tomorrow morning,” said Batari Mahadewi.
It's late afternoon. The three young warriors did not stay at the temple because Nyi Turmeric would certainly prepare more food. They did not want to disappoint the patient mother.
Upon arrival at home, Nyi Turmeric cuisine is waiting to be eaten. Nala and Vidyana on the next day planned to stay at Padepokan, while Tari would return home every late afternoon as long as she was still in the village of Cemara Seribu.
The next morning, as planned, Batari Mahadewi and Nala tried to trace the cave behind the Sacred Heart waterfall which is the meditation place of Ki Gading Putih and his students to perfect the science.
Ki Gading Putih just drove them from across the cave, and the rest he entrusted everything to Batari Mahadevi and Nala. The pair of special warriors continued to explore the dark cave. It was like returning to the world of three moons as they searched for the source of energy on the island of Fire. The difference is, the Sacred Heart cave feels cold and moist.
Vidyana was waiting for the two of them in the library. Ki Gading White taught him to read. Vidyana felt that the small village and the Padepokan Cemara Seribu was a peaceful and pleasant place. He thought about staying there for a while later if Nala and Tari were traveling. At least, Vidyana could occasionally look at Nyi Turmeric. For some reason, he looked at Nyi Turmeric like his own mother. Maybe he really misses the figure of his own mother who died when Vidyana was a child.
After Nala grew up and had high achievements, she felt that she no longer needed to look after her sister. His job is done. After getting acquainted with normal life, somehow the killing intent within him slowly faded. A little bit he has started to open up to looking at the world in a new way.
