"Don't worry, that shaman won't be able to kill me in this place. Although my body is destroyed but my Sukma will always live to protect you my wife,"
Barra's last words made Gita's cries grow louder. Only this time did he really feel a sadness that he had never felt before.
His chest felt so tight that he kept banging his chest when he saw Barra completely disappear from his sight.
There was a sound of someone chanting the holy verses of the Qur'an. His voice sounded so melodious that it was able to penetrate the hollow recesses of the Gita's heart.
The girl immediately wiped her tears and immediately moved from her seat.
A white shadow figure then guided him to leave the place.
When she opened her eyes, she was shocked to find herself surrounded by people wearing white clothes.
"Where am I, why is it so crowded here," said Gita noticed one by one the faces of the people around him.
There are many women worshipers who continue to read the Koran around him.
Of the many women there, he did not find his mother Suryati. Seeing the confused-looking Gita made a woman rush up to him.
"Alhamdulillah, you are finally conscious as well" said a smiling woman looking at him
"Where am I?" ask Gita to be confused
"You're at Kyai Syodiq nak's boarding school" Suryati said, bringing him a glass of water
"Mother?" said Gita immediately hugged the woman tightly and cried bitterly
"Don't be sad baby, now you're safe here" Suryati answered gently rubbing her head
He then told her to drink a glass of water that he brought to calm himself.
"Drink, I'm sure you must be thirsty after fighting long enough against the witchcraft" said Suryati looking at him wistfully
"Why can I be here?" ask Gita again
"The story is long, son, later I will tell you, because if told here is not enough time," replied Suryati
Soon Kyai Sodiq comes with a handsome young man who accompanies him.
"Thank God Gita was finally conscious as well" said the man smiling happily
Gita immediately kissed the back of the man's hand.
"Where does Git feel now, what's good is it still crowded?" asked the man to look at her
"It's still crowded Kyai, but now it's not too crowded anymore," replied Gita staring at the man who was with Kyai Sodiq
"Thank God, then" replied the man
"It is better that you stay here tonight, I'm afraid the soft guys are still after you" Kyai Sodiq said
"What have I done, that astral beings have tried to kill me?" ask Gita curiously
"Don't you remember what you did to Erwin?" sahut Suryati tried to tell Gita what had happened to him.
"So Erwin did all of this to me, and he killed my Barra, too" said Gita, sobbing as she recalled Barra's death in front of her
"Barra, who is he, isn't your late husband's name gallant, since when did he change his name?" suryati asked, making Zacky smile to hear her
"Is he your girlfriend?, why don't you tell mom" Suryati said
"No, he's just my friend" Gita replies trying to hide Barra's identity
"That's how old he is, he must die young. Erwin is really evil to the point of killing all the men close to the Gita, if this continues when the Gita can get married," out Suryati
"Have Sur not been sad, I'm sure soon Gita's soul mate will come" replied Kyai Sodiq
"Truly Kyai?" ask Suryati sumringah
"Of course, since when did I lie to you,"
"Come on, I'll remember it first" Suryati replied chuckling at Kyai Sodiq's facial expression when she heard his answer
"You better come with Nyai soon, so you can rest in peace tonight" Kyai Sodiq then asked his wife to take Gita to his room
"Both Kyai," Gita then follows Nyai Halimah to a dormitory not far from her home.
That night Gita could not close her eyes, the shadow of Barra's face made her keep ringing in her mind to make her shed tears again.
That night he continued to cry until the morning until his eyes looked swollen.
A santri who was rooming with him later recounted the incident to Kyai Sodiq.
The man can be seen nodding his head when he heard the story of a santriwati.
He then met a santri son and asked him to speak with four eyes.
After quite a long time the two conversed The young man then nodded in agreement and immediately followed Kyai Sodiq into a special room.
Soon a santriwati escorts Gita into the room where Kyai Sodiq and a santriwa wait for her.
"Please enter Git" said the Kyai then let him sit down
Gita looked at the figure of the young man sitting next to her. He still clearly remembered how he tried to reject the man when he offered to become his salary teacher.
"What is Kyai??" tanya Gita looked curious
"Are you still thinking about that guy?" kyai Sodiq asked as if she knew that Gita was thinking about Barra.
Gita nodded slowly despite a slight hesitation.
"There is actually something I want to introduce you to" said Kyai Sodiq turned towards Zacky.
Gita looked back at Zacky who then stood next to Kyai Sodiq.
"His name is Zacky, he just happens to be my nephew. You know him, don't you?" kyai Sodiq asked making Gita immediately nod
"My reason is to make him your teacher because I want you to get to know each other and be close. That's why I still force him to be your master teacher, even if you've rejected him. It also happened that he was looking for a future wife who wanted to be invited by him. So if you don't mind I'd like to introduce you guys to get closer. Once you have a match and hopefully a match," said Kyai Sodiq staring at Gita
"Actually I've asked Zacky to always look after you, because I know there's an evil force that's always lurking around you. If you want to know the man who saved you when you got hit by a witch in your boarding house it's him. I purposely told her to follow you to Jakarta, when you escaped diei from your marriage to Erwin" Kyai Sodiq said
"There's no point in me telling you all this. Like a song I just want you to know how serious Zacky is to you, but still the decision is in your hands. Neither Zacky nor I can force you to accept this offer, everything is up to girl, so please decide whether you accept this offer or not?" kyai Sodiq
Gita seemed so surprised to hear Kyai Sodiq's offer. Between Happy but also sad, that is how Gita felt until she was just stunned without being able to give a decision on the offer of the Kyai.
