40 Days
Chapter 6
A gust of wind touched the skin of Maura who was sound asleep. A few days after she was treated in the room, Maura often screamed hysterically and agitatedly. Until doctors often give her sedatives or sleeping pills, so that Maura does not act strange that can disturb the calm of the patient's room.
The wound condition in Maura has improved, her body is healthy. But the doctor said there was a psychic disorder on Maura. Maura said her trauma and depression after having the accident, her soul was shaken especially after knowing both of her friends were victims in the fateful accident.
Maura was often silent with a blank look, but she suddenly screamed hysterically as if she saw something scary.
Even worse, Maura often almost hurt her own body. The doctor who handles it has never done a check on his psychiatric condition, although not found abnormal signs in his examination, the doctor still refers to depression that may be experienced by Maura.
The truth of what Maura experienced will indeed not be found let alone medically treated, because this concerns astral beings who continue to disturb him.
Like in the middle of the night, the silence greeted and gripped. Maura woke up feeling the cold of the air tonight.
Even though all the windows were tightly closed, some patients and their families also seemed to sleep as if they did not feel the cold as he experienced.
Khadijah fell asleep in a chair with his head set on Maura's bed. Currently Maura was frightened yet reluctant to wake her Mother.
Craak.sraakk..
The sound of something walking in the corridor of the room, Maura closed her eyes tightly. He covered his face with a blanket, Maura's hands and body began to shiver and tremble violently when he heard the sound of a leg drag approaching.
Her curiosity kept asking her to open the blanket that covered her face, while the other side of her fear told her to stay hidden under the covers. Two things that are not synchronous, between the wishes of one with another.
'' Mother.wake up bu..'' Maura's moans whispered to Khadija who was asleep near her. He who just did not want to disturb the sleep of his mother was now starting to wake her because of the fear of whack.
Now there was the sound of someone opening a curtain room, which side of it was certain Maura was sure to hear clearly.
Deg
His heart is now working faster, sweat began to pour soaked his face and other body parts.
The cold Eve was now hot with fear, or perhaps because she was covered with a thick blanket.
Maura continued to shake Khadijah's arm, hoping that she would wake up.
Glek !
Maura's throat felt choked when she was about to swallow her saliva, blood flow seemed to stop, her body was bathed in sweat. For a moment there was a hand that touched his leg. It felt very cold like ice, though it was blocked by a thick blanket as a separation between Maura's legs and the hand that was touching her. He didn't want to move his legs.
Maura was getting scared, she was so curious who touched her at the moment. He also ventured to peek little by little, lowering his blanket.
'' Aaaaaaaaakkkkk cried Maura when she found a figure dressed as Jeni, but with a face that was very terrible and she could not recognize. Only the creature's clothes felt familiar, not with its scary face. Maura covered herself with a blanket.
Khadijah awoke to Maura's screams, as did several other patients and the families of patients who were asleep there.
Among them there were grumbling annoyed at being disturbed whenever Maura behaved strangely, so Khadija felt bad.
'' Husss, why are you Nak ? Not his sleep instead yells gini nights. The other pity, said Khadijah who again surprised Maura, because suddenly Khadija opened a blanket that covered his face.
When Khadija managed to get rid of the blanket, Maura's eyes were still closed slowly he began to open and his gaze circulated around.
No one touched Maura's feet anymore, even the figure disappeared after Khadijah woke up.
'' Ma'am, I saw a ghost again.I was scared, Maura groaned with a hoarse voice holding back the cry.
'' Call Nak, call it. Where there may be ghosts, you have to pray a lot so do not think about it, said Khadijah.
Maura recited the istigfar many times until he began to feel a little calm, although not denied he still felt anxious and afraid that the creepy incident continued to repeat.
.
.
A few days passed, Maura was able to return home.
Arriving home, he immediately went into the room to rest. His gaze swept across the entire side of the room and stopped at one point.
On a small table, there is a 5R photo, a picture of himself with his friends during High School.
In the photo there are Jeni and Medina, Maura's eyes glazed over and grabbed the figura while sitting on the bed next to the table earlier.
'' Dina, Jeni.., said Maura wiping away the tears that had fallen on her cheeks.
Khadijah went into her daughter's room with a pocket of Maura's clothes.
'' Ikhlatkan their departure, do not burden them there, Nak said Khadija stroked Maura's straight hair and sat beside her.
'' I still can't believe they're leaving so soon. Take me on a pilgrimage to their tomb, ma'am, Maura's pinta.
'' Yes but not now, you still have a lot of rest because your condition is recovering. Tomorrow the day after tomorrow I will take you to the tomb of the two of them, said Khadijah.
Maura nodded slowly leaning her head on Khadijah's shoulder her one-on-one parents. Maura is an orphan, since the age of 10 years her father died.
In that simple house, they only lived together. Even so Khadijah is able to support his own children, even able to lecture Maura .
The legacy of Khadijah's late husband was in the form of rice fields and gardens, which Khadija then sold to meet Maura's needs both for her education and for their daily needs.
Some of the money he saved for the future of Maura and some he made business capital to sell in the market.
'' Maura, how are you doing ? '' suddenly Amir came in. Amir is Khadijah's older brother, more precisely his Uncle Maura who lives next door to their home.
'' Alhamdulillah Maura had heard Bang, Khadijah who answered Amir's question because Maura did not flinch his gaze blankly staring at the photo that was still in his grasp.
'' Thank goodness, said Amir who in his heart he felt there was something different about his nephew.
Maura is usually cheerful not even reluctant to indulge in her, her usual Amir figure being a substitute for the figure of her late father.
But now, Maura seemed unmoved and did not even turn her head when Amir came to greet the girl.
As if his clumsily closed and only focused on his empty daydreams, drifting in his own mind to not realize anyone who was near him.
Khadijah and Amir looked at each other, Amir could catch the worry felt by his younger brother.
When the accident occurred, Amir could not accompany Khadijah to the Hospital because it happened that his wife Faridah was very sick. Amir and Faridah have no children, they both consider Maura to be their biological child.
Very dear when Maura was stricken, they could not accompany Maura who was struggling with death who almost picked her up.
Slowly Khadijah rested her daughter's head on the pillow. Maura was still speechless, just according to what her mother did.
'' You slept yes, Mother came out for a while. "with no answer from the mouth of Maura who is currently hugging the figura, she said, the corner of the girl's eyes was still wet from tears while her mind floated somewhere.
Khadijah wanted to tell the current condition of Maura to Amir, he took his brother out of the room, so that their conversation was not heard by Maura.
