Ambition And Magic

Chapter 48 to 1 Muharram

As soon as Cahyono came out of her study, Renita walked out of the room, waiting for Noncy to take her to the cafe. Lazy waiting in the lecturer room, Renita came to Pak Adi who was sitting under a velvet sapodilla tree that grew in the corner of the campus courtyard.

"Heh sit here Ms. Ren. long time we do not chat.." seeing the arrival of Renita, Mr. Adi asked the woman to sit down. Because there was no seating at that location, they sat on the edge of the park boundary, while looking at the car that passed in and out of the yard.

"From where sir, kok wear a cooperative batik uniform." saw Adi sir wearing a cooperative batik uniform, Renita asked the man.

"Lha. cook forgets, this is the day of the Cooperative to ndhuk.." since long ago indeed Mr. Adhi often called Renita with the name ndhuk, showing their familiarity as friends, Indeed the two people, indeed, both are from the Klaten area.

"Oh right. sorry forgot the boss. So this was Mr. Adhi finished the ceremony in Paseban Bantul field.." Renita switched the conversation.

"True, we had one car there, eight cooperative managers all came to attend the ceremony. Rectorate deserted mbak.., the Rector sir was going with the Foundation to Surabaya, he said he wanted to go to the Faculty of Medicine Unair. Mr. Septta who joined them, Mr. Sukhi originally wanted to come, but his son did not want to be left. Finally it's just Septta's pact from the vice-chancellor,.." Adhi explained.

"Upps nice dong.. Septta class does know what sir about Medicine, Lha you pinter, can ngeles so. ga come to Surabaya, escape from responsibility." with courage, daring, Renita made fun of the man.

"Weh yes dong, I will already have an agreement with the Rector sir, when he asked me to be Vice Rector again, I said, if I just want to go to college, I do not want to take office anymore. Finally the Rector asked me anyway, and I was willing but with a note. If I have business related to college, there's a rain of wind, there's anything that he thinks is important, I'm free to get involved." Adhi made a defense,

"Good job sir, my prayers quickly pass deh.." suddenly Renita's gaze caught a familiar sight in his eyes. Seen Mr. Tommitius down from the cooperative, then walked through his place and Mr. Adhi sat down.

"We see.. the man will say hello to us or not..?" Renita thought to herself, wanting to match what Cahyono had said to her. Cahyono said, Mr. Tommitius was forbidden by his shaman to speak Renita first.

Renita and Pak Adhi compactly saw Mr. Tommitius who went down the small stairs beside the security guard post. It turned out that exactly as Renita had expected, the old man did not rebuke Renita and Adi at all, But to get stale, Renita smiled and nodded her head. Like the old man, though,

"Wah UP is more crumbling now mbak, no one else dares to talk about the truth, all just opportunists looking for victory for themselves." unknowingly, Pak Adi curcol on Renita.

"Hmm. Yes sir, some people have also been on the story telling me. But I'm no comment sir, afraid of being wrong, the important thing is that I still receive a salary every month, can still make coffee. He. he. he. he.." said Renita in response,

"I want it to be too.., but sometimes there is a moral burden that haunts. Yes, finally I have to make peace with the situation, trying only to deal with all the work that is the realm of my own responsibility, ignoring the work of other fields." continued Mr. Adhi.

***********

Towards the Maghrib Adhan, Renita felt something strange about her body. Without realizing it some of his limbs felt his own motion. Andri who had memorized what happened to his wife without blinking noticed the change in expression and reaction on Renita's body. Suddenly the man stood up, then through the garage door, Andri took ablution water.

"Sister.., sister.., mamah.today father does not pray worshipers in the mosque.we worship at home, let's all immediately take ablution water. After the prayer, all the doain mamah, there is something in the body of the current mama. Only by prayer will we be able to expel and keep mamah." Andri shouted to take his son and wife, and,

Zidan and Vian immediately headed to the place of taking ablution water, as well as Renita. While walking like a confused and bellied person, Renita walked from the ablution place towards the middle room. Not long after, Vian heard reading the iqamah, and soon Andri led the prayer congregation.

Renita felt unable to control herself, her body suddenly moved to pray. With a deep word of prayer, the woman continued to try to set foot on the floor, following the prayer movement led by her husband. At the time they perform the prayer movement standing, suddenly Renita's feet tiptoed up high, as if her feet would fly away from prayer. Renita kept trying to hold her legs until she felt tired.

The woman continued to endure, despite the suffering that only she could feel, she continued to work on her obligations. Not long later, finally Andri has said greetings, as a sign if the Maghrib prayer is finished. As soon as Renita said her greeting, the woman's body suddenly drooped. Consciousness began to disappear from his body.

"Mamah Istighfar mah.." From beside her, Vian held the woman's wrists, and guided her to always remember God.

"Mmmm... afraid go.., go.. go.. scared.:" looking at Vian's gaze that was sharply looking at her, Renita hysterically frightened.

"Istighfar mah.." Vian continued to hold Renita's hand tighter, and finally the woman again drooped, unable to bear to see her eldest son.

"Sister keep mamah first yes, I want to make rukiyah water for mamah" said Andri who immediately took mineral water, then sat facing the qibla.

Seeing her mother's reaction, Zidan's sad face came out of the room, and sitting next to her brother saw Renita's face. The thing that really deserves to be thumbs up from this family is, their compactness when facing Renita reaction. Devoutly and obediently, all prayed for Renita's recovery. Absolutely never crossed their minds for revenge, or pray bad things to the person indicated as the sender of the witchcraft.

"Drink the water mah.." not long after, Andri had come to bring a glass of water, and asked his wife to drink the water.

Renita then drinks the water that has been possessed, and Andri continues to whisper calling Renita's full name, including the name of the woman's father. After a while, Renita began to control herself, her breathing had begun to be regular. Andri immediately held his wife's shoulder, then placed Renita's head leaning against her chest.
