When I woke up, I was already where I was. Right next to the haunted BPM lake. I looked there and I didn't find any friends, not even Amelia was there.
In my mind, I felt sad, sad, and sorry that I was unable to save Amelia from the Wizards. Not wanting to linger in that place, I hurried to force my two heavy legs to step back to the campsite.
Arriving there, I was startled by all the students and the teachers were already gathered there with laughter. I stepped towards them while enduring my pain.
“What is this?” I asked what was so bad about what happened at that time. “How can you be this calm when we are stuck in this haunted place?” continued.
Bagos just grinned at me, “Look, Mam! The fog that has locked us in this place has been destroyed. Mr. Bus, and Aan will soon get to this place to pick us up.”
I looked around the place, but I did not see the fog that covered this place. The driver and Ike's mom came to see me and thanked me for helping Amelia and the other first-class students.
“No papa, ma'am, sir! This part is all my duty to help others.” Answer thus. “Then, how about Roni, bu?” askaku.
Ms. Ike immediately shed tears upon hearing my question. He refused to answer my question and soon passed. Seeing me who was confused again, Mr. Suryo who was the school driver immediately said it.
“Roni, .. he's dead, son!” said Mr. Suryo who feels heavy telling it. “Kata deck Intan and Siwi, there is a black fog that suddenly entered into Roni's body. In an instant, he was direct
vomit blood with the internal organs. Strangely the organs and blood of Roni feels hot boiling!” continued. Then Mr. Suryo passed, leaving me alone with a feeling of sadness.
The surprised and staggering I immediately headed into the tent, pondering, trying to deal with my failure this time.
“Sial! I have to lose someone who should be my responsibility. O Allah, Roni ..” I said as I cursed at my fate and failure. “Although he is evil, but still he is my responsibility. Me ... I,”
After my feelings had calmed down a bit, I returned to the group of class members who were gathered next to the bonfire. I looked here and there, I never found Amelia's whereabouts, nor her two friends, Intan and Siwi.
I immediately asked Bagos and Syaiful about the existence of the three of them, and the two of them only replied that Ike was asking for his presence beside the bushes.
Feeling that something was awkward, I asked the two of them to take me to meet them, and without rejecting even a little they obeyed my wishes.
“OK lah, you must have been so happy huh, become a hero who saved your class brothers?” ask Syaiful on the way. “I'm so envious of you, Mam. Everyone is praising you, whereas we are not at all seen by them,”.
“Already, no need to think about it. After all we are friends, so there is no need to save the hate or envy.” Answer wisely.
The three of us rushed to the place where Amelia and her two friends were. There I saw Intan and Siwi who seemed to still be devastated by Roni's death, besides, they were still able to smile at the arrival of the three of us.
“You guys okay?” ask soon.
“Alright, brother. Thanks for all the help, brother!” intan replied while directing a smile. I look normal to see the cute smile of the beautiful girl, but Bagos, duh, already seen the clepts dah.
Suddenly I felt an evil little aura emerging from around there. With a slight reading of Al-Falaq and An-Naas, the evil aura finally formed a point where it was clearly visible.
“Oh yes, Amelia where?” my many.
“Lho? She was right next to me, then where was she?” answer Siwi bengong. “Why Brother Umam?”
“Ah, it's okay. Hail, Bagos. You guys stay here! There's a little business I need to get done,” tell me.
They both just nodded in a sign of understanding. Even though I saw it from their eyes, I saw a look that was so curious about my attitude just now. I ignored them and rushed to find where Amelia was.
It didn't take long until I met Amelia who was being held by Ms. Ike. I saw Amelia's condition with ordinary eyes, no strange things appeared, but after I saw the use of the inner eye,
“Astagfirullah, “
“What's up, son?” ask mom Ike. He looked surprised to see me trying to release my grasp onto Amelia.
“Release, mom. She's not Amelia!” firmly, but suddenly Amelia immediately clawed both hands of Miss Ike. Bu Ike immediately let out a scream at that moment, making Amelia chuckle.
“Basic! After your master dies, there appears a demit who takes over his power.” My words shook. Ms. Ike just gawked at me watching me talk weirdly to Amelia.
“What do you say, son?”
“I talked to a demit who stuck to Amelia. Looks like he's stuck to a demit when he's brought back to camp, ma'am!” answers explained.
Ms. Ike immediately left, while I tried to avoid any clawing Amelia pointed at me. Although my body movements were able to avoid every scratch that Amelia had, some of them landed on my hands and body, making me groan in pain.
“Ahgg ... Amelia, awake!” I tried to call him so he would wake up. “Don't let that demit rule you. I'm sure you can get it out yourself!”
Suddenly Amelia was gnawing in pain. I told him to recite the verse of the chair so that the demon attached to it burned. However, I saw Amelia's lips were stiff, sore, so the verses were
Reflex, he came back to attack me, hit my leg this time, so I immediately fell down while holding back the horror. Not stopping there, Amelia immediately picked me up and strangled me strongly.
“Hahaha, you are indeed a weak human being. Unexpected that our four leaders could be killed by a weak creature like you,” Amelia laughed while showing such a horrible face, her corneas were invisible, and her skin had turned wrinkled, like the faces of old people.
Ma'am Ike who saw me, felt unbearable, and rushed to help me by pulling Amelia's hand, but unfortunately, with a single stomp, ma'am Ike immediately bounced as far as two meters.
When we started to push, from back there, my sister, Vita, rushed straight towards me and cast a spell. I don't know what she read, but Amelia fell unconscious.
“Alhamdulillah,” says Vita relieved. He helped me to get up immediately. At the same time, Syaiful and Bagus had already arrived at my current place. “Thank God, I came just in time. Otherwise, you'd be dead, deck!”
I immediately rejected Vita's hand that was extended to me. Honestly, I still hate dying to her. The dark events of the past, the death of Astrid, and the betrayal she committed, left me unable to forgive her.
With my body limp and shackled, I hurried to leave the place, followed by Syaiful and Bagos. While Vita only smiled bitterly at me and rushed to help Amelia followed by the mother
Ike.
In the evening, Aan, Misbah, and Amidanal light a bonfire in the middle of the camp. All seemed cheerful at that time, as an entertainer for the solace and horror we experienced these few days.
Oh yes, you do not know, Roni's body was taken to the funeral home this afternoon accompanied by Mr. Mujab and Mr. Idris.
At that moment I stared at the bonfire with a sad and angry feeling. I never thought I would fail again to save someone I was responsible for. In my daydream, suddenly Brother Vita came and patted me on the shoulder.
“What are you thinking, hm?” ask her with a sweet face. “If you daydream so, later kesambet loh!”
“It's none of your business, brother! Why did you help me earlier? Though I myself was enough to help Amelia,” I answered ketus, while back asking about her attitude earlier.
“Truly, nih? Brother see that you can't handle it alone.” Vita nudged my arm to mock. “I came here because I got a bad feeling from Nana. He foretold that you were in danger that even you couldn't handle. So, brother wants to be the first one to help you!” he added.
Not long after, Amelia, Intan, and Siwi came to see the two of us. He wanted to thank me for helping me several times.
“Kak, thank you brother for helping me earlier and yesterday. I as the youngest daughter of the Prida noble family expressed such great gratitude to big brother!” Amelia paid her respect to me like a princess from a noble family.
Waita! She comes from the Prida family!?
“Wait first! I think I know the name of the family. What is your relationship with Niken?” I was surprised, trying to ascertain what kind of relationship he had with Niken.
Amelia, Intan, and Siwi just smiled funnyly, as if mocking me. “Kak Niken is the main daughter of the Prida family, and she is my sister.”
“A boy really funny. I can't believe that brother is also a friend of sister Niken.” Said Siwi who was seen still laughing, although he still held it with his hands.
I don't think time has shown ten o'clock at night. All my friends are already in deep sleep, waiting for a bright tomorrow. While I had to keep staring at the moon which was quiet at the time.
My daydream split after seeing Vita's leg and Nana's brother coming up to me and intending to talk seriously about something.
“Mam, Mr. Khoirul told me that the Test of Faith will be carried out soon. Mbah Jayos and Mbah I have agreed that you will be included in the exam,” said Vita opened the conversation. Seen from
his face if he exudes an aura of fear and concern to me. “That test will start next week, and after seeing your ability to date, I want you to withdraw from that exam!”
“Yes, deck Umam! In this test I felt a terrible air. If you still insist on taking the exam, then you will not survive!” added Nana who seems like she knows my fate from her Clairvoyance.
“Hmph, what's your business, hm? If my brother and sister have passed the test, why can't I?” my answer is that I don't care about their worries at all. “I will pass the test, so that our family knows my abilities! It does not always have to be imagined by the compliments that our family always says on Kak Vita and also Danang.”
Paskins ...!
The sound of Vita's loud slap landed right on my right cheek. My cheeks were burning at the time. I turned towards my sister. He seemed to have shed tears of worry. I felt guilty at the time, but I could do nothing to wipe away the tears that had fallen to the ground.
“Stupid you, Mam! The Test of Faith is a test that requires us to have a sense of inner calm and wisdom. How can we not worry about me when in your heart still hold such hatred and malice!?” said brother Vita scolding me. “Test is very dangerous and I don't want to lose you! Don't want!”
After that, Brother Vita immediately left from there, followed by Nana, his loyal servant. But before leaving, Nana gave me an important piece of advice.
“If you think your hatred that you have been harboring for three years is able to save you from that test, then do it! Forever you will not be able to pass the dangerous test that only capitalizes on your hatred for your brother and also the demons!” nana said trying to advise me with her wise words. “After you pass the test, or even if you pass it, your father will never expect much from you, Mam! You've been like a wasted child of the Marwan family, and only as a substitute for your brother a!”
And Nana passed. Leaving the pensive me in front of the bonfire gazing at the bright moon that night.
“I don't care if I'm a substitute or a shadow of my brother's greatness! All I need right now is to be myself and prove to my father and extended family that I can pass that stupid test!” mumamku. “Astrid ... I will prove to you that I can match you too!”
