THE BLOOD OF JAVA
BLOOD OF JAVA: Episode 56
After the two of them passed the first exam, they both arrived at a place. There are two small houses that are the same size, and the shape of the house is the same.
Between the two houses, there was a man drinking coconut water. The man was blocking the path that Patih Kinjiri and Lare Damar were about to cross.
He looked towards Patih Kinjiri and Lare Damar with a smile. The man then said to them, If they want to pass, they must enter both houses.
They must eat all the food in the two houses, and if they do not eat, they will die. If all the food was gone without any leftovers, they would also die.
If they eat more food, they will die. So, they had to rack their brains on how to get through the test. The two agreed to enter the left house first.
There was delicious food, and so much. All the food is on the dining table. Two chairs filled the dining table.
Lare Damar and Patih Kinjiri sat in that chair. They think about each other, what they're going to do with this food. Because all their choices went wrong.
“Lare Damar, what kind of test is this. All options are trapping us both.”
“Quiet. There must be a way to solve this problem.”
Lare Damar put both hands on the table, she held a wooden food spoon. He had absolutely no taste for all the food in front of him. But he was hungry.
It was also felt by Patih Kinjiri. His stomach was rumbling. But all of those delicious meals did not invite his appetite at all. Even to touch him, he doesn't want to.
“Ha! I know!” Lare Damar.
“What?”
No one knows what they are doing inside. Including the man in the middle of the road. He was certain that the two of them would die.
However, suddenly Lare Damar and Patih Kinjiri came out of the house. And they went back to the house on the right. It made the man wonder.
“Hey! Don't be happy just yet. This one is much heavier!” Say that man.
Lare Damar and Patih Kinjiri just smiled at the man. The thin-bodied men seemed upset to see their success in the first house.
But he was still convinced that this one, Patih Kinjiri and Lare Damar would die, because they had no choice. Besides being a corpse in this place.
But it was very surprising, again Lare Damar and Patih Kinjiri came out confidently. The man immediately stood up and glared at the two of them.
“You must have cheated!”
“What?! Quickly answer!” Jerk the man.
Lare Damar replied, that he and Patih Kinjiri have felt enough about what they got today. The first is security. And secondly, the food in both houses was not their food.
No homeowner welcomed them and offered them the food, so they decided not to touch it in the slightest.
The way they did at home that first worked, the food instantly vanished from the dining table, after Lare Damar said a sentence.
That sentence reads,
“Wahai food, the giving of the Almighty. You are not my right. And it's not anyone's right. Then I will not eat you nor throw you away.”
“.....Return to the Creator, as when you were first present in this magnificent home.”
And the sentence was also spoken by Patih Kinjiri in the second house. So now there is no food or anything in those two little houses. Except, an empty, uninhabited house.
“You two are clever. Usually the people who come to this place will devour it to the end without any rest. They do not think, if the food they eat can kill themselves.” Say the man.
“Yes. We just try as we can. And now there is no food. Then we will not eat or throw away any food.” Answer Patih Kinjiri.
The man also praised the patience and fortitude of the two of them. Just like the ape man, the man also gave them a very special gift for both of them.
The man gave them a new ability. The men held their chests and channeled their knowledge to Patih Kinjiri and Lare Damar.
It was a science they could use to talk to plants and animals. So that they can both understand and understand the language of plants and animals fluently.
With this ability, they will easily find a way to where they are headed. They could ask the plants and animals they encountered in this place.
After saying goodbye, the man disappeared from the place. Two small houses were there as well. The place has now turned into trees and grass.
The two of them finally went back on their journey. The further they climbed to the top, the more difficult the test they passed and the more confused they were.
That is why it is rare that people who can come to this place can survive. Because most of them are more obedient to their passions without thinking about how the risk.
While Patih Kinjiri and Lare Damar always face every test that is in front of them with patience and fortitude. They also did not forget to pray every time they would resume their journey.
The two of them were always exchanging thoughts, so no matter how difficult the trials they faced in that place, they were always strong and managed to deal with it well.
