40 Days

Chapter 21

Arman rushed to Syafa's room when he had just come to the office where he worked.

Arman barged in without knocking on the door first. This made Syafa shocked as well.

'' Would you excuse me if you want to come in? '' said Syafa.

'' Sorry, I was in a hurry, said Arman, who was sitting across from the girl.

Syafa narrowed his eyes, as if Arman wanted to say something to him until he was in such a hurry. Arman's unusual expression today looks a little strange.

'' Why ? '' Shafa closed the laptop and leaned back in the work chair.

'' Last night I dreamed of coming to the forest. You know what I saw there? I saw Maura tied up in a big tree, and there was one giant guarding her there. Even more terrifying, the giant was chasing me, said Arman enthusiastically telling his dream.

'' Maura? That's Jeni's friend's name, right? '' ask Syafa.

'' Yes, Maura was also a victim of the accident. He was the only survivor in the accident, replied Arman.

Syafa was silent, he began to think about connecting the demands of the events that Jeni and Maura experienced.

'' Means the fate of Maura is almost the same as the fate of Wijaya's grandfather. The difference is my grandfather's tribe was quickly saved. Could this be any connection to Jeni's spirit? '' said Syafa.

'' You mean? '' asked Arman.

'' It's likely that Jeni over there wants to save Maura. This is just my prediction, there could be something else that makes Jeni's spirit trapped in that place, replied Syafa.

'' So what's our plan? '' Arman again asked, the possibility there is a correct prediction Syafa.

Syafa thought for a moment, it was impossible if he returned there while Sugeni alone could not enter the forest. Especially her and Arman.

'' We better meet Maura first. We make sure the condition, replied Syafa.

'' Okay go home from work we go directly there, take Arman.

'' Okay. ''

......................

The state of Maura is still not recovered, Khadijah has tried as much as possible but his daughter never recovered.

Maura's body was healthy, but the girl's soul still seemed to be depressed. He was sane and not crazy, only some of the softness of the girl was gone.

Arman and Syafa are visiting Maura's house. Maura's gaze was empty when they met the girl.

Neither Arman nor Shafa would have said their estimates of the Maura softener trapped in the village forest x. They had to make sure first what his estimate was?

'' Every night Maura should practice dhikr as Ustad commanded. But Maura's condition like this does not allow to be able to concentrate and read the practice given by Ustad, continued Khadijah.

'' Mother do not give up guiding Maura, said Arman feeling sorry to see the state of the girl.

'' Yes, son of Arman. It's just that I feel the body of the mother's child is here but her soul seems to be somewhere else, said Khadijah.

Arman and Syafa exchanged lyrics hearing the words of Khadijah just now. Khadijah also recounted various strange events experienced by his and Maura lately.

Syafa was increasingly convinced by his conjecture, especially when staring into Maura's face. There was an aura blocking his entry into the girl's mind. Even Maura's eyes suddenly swerved towards her, then grinned a little and then looked back flat and her gaze returned empty.

In Syafa's vision he saw that there was an evil spirit ruling the girl's body. But he did not say what he saw from his inner eye on Khadijah. Syafa does not want to be seen making up or making things worse Khadijah who seems to have begun to be overwhelmed by his pain Maura.

After receiving enough information from Khadijah, Syafa and Arman resigned.

'' Do we have to go back to the forest? '' asked Arman on the way home.

'' As Sugeni waited for the right time, my gut feeling said one day he would give word if his time came. '' Shafa stared far straight, several shadows flashed across his mind.

'' Sugeni? How can he tell us, he doesn't know our house . Or did you give her a phone number? " ask Arman in wonder.

Syafa looked towards the man beside her, he shook his head slowly.

Arman was more astonished to see the attitude of Syafa, the statement of the girl was difficult to understand. If not over the phone then how did Sugeni inform them?

'' One day he will come to one of us, replied Syafa appeared mysterious when saying that sentence.

Not wanting to ask a lot, Arman was just a must-beard that he did not understand the meaning of Syafa's speech just now.

In the village x,

Full moonlight shimmered among the black clouds. The sound of crickets, frogs and other animals that earthy break the silence of the village x.

Sugeni's stage house looks lonely as empty in the dwellings of its inhabitants. But actually Sugeni was in there, only two days he did not leave the house. Even Sugeni shied away from the sunlight. His stomach was left empty, he sat cross-legged in one room where he used to meditate. Sugeni's house is rather tenuous with the settlement, he lives a little secluded from the villagers x. The situation he uses in order to be able to mediate in his house without interference from neighbors or even people sekampung his.

Currently he is meditating to find a Wangsit that can solve the problems of young people who a few days ago came to him.

Two nights passed he could still pass without flinching a bit from his cross-legged spot. The ritual is not easy, but it is also not new to her. Until he can firmly resist hunger, drowsiness or anything that intrudes outwardly.

Instantly he heard the voice of sewu ireng calling to him. Genderuwo's voice was heard in the ear making her wake up release the soup and start walking towards the red climb.

It did not take long he arrived at the climbs especially now only his tribe who came to the place. Because if he goes with his body may be a bit chili and must have been long until, considering his old body will certainly be easily tired when having to walk to that place. Especially at night like today.
