Then Rex is shown the situation at Luna's parents' house.


Luna's father seems to start buying good things. The house that was originally only walled with boards was replaced with red brick. The construction of the house is fast. In just two weeks the house was standing. Although not luxurious, but the house is quite stealing attention because of its striking color and rapid development process. Rex knew that the process of development work was aided by subtle-creatures.


Rex can also see how Luna refuses all the food her father bought with his money. And of course it makes the father angry.


" How do you survive without food...?" ask Rex confused.


" Why confused. I have Lanni and Ramon who always treat me to lunch..," said the spirit of Luna relaxed.


" What if Mom or Dad don't see you...?" ask Rex.


" They always gave me money. Although the number is not much because we are both students. But since Ramon worked, he's had a lot of money. Lanni blatantly split the money Ramon gave me in front of Ramon directly. And Ramon doesn't mind at all. So I don't need to be confused about money to buy food..," said Luna's spirit with a smile.


Rex nodded and smiled at Luna's spirit's reply.


Then Rex is brought to a situation where Luna's father is dying of illness. At that time no one was beside him. As a result of his arrogance he was abandoned by his wife and children.


Luna's father appeared to be lying weakly on the bed. At that time his condition was like a living corpse. Just a bone-clad skin. His skin also seemed to be filled with slimy wounds that smelled pungent.


Beside him were empty plates and glasses that had been covered with cobwebs a sign that Luna's father had not eaten or drank for a long time.


" Subhanallah.., what a terrible fate..," inner Rex.


The sound of the door opening seemed to shock Luna's father. His closed eyes seemed open. A smile was on his lips even though it looked more like a terrifying grin.


" Grandfather, is that you...?" asked Luna's father with a trembling voice.


" Yes it's me.." said the shaman while covering his nose with the tip of his shirt.


The shaman's attitude clearly made Luna's father offended. But he tried to understand because there was an important thing that he expected from the old shaman.


" What did you bring this time Cake...?" ask Luna's father.


The question of Luna's father made the shaman cluck. He looked up without looking at Luna's father.


" What are you expecting ?. Don't dream of getting something if you can't give something. That's the deal, '" said the shaman.


" But now I'm sick, cake. Let alone to look for a tumbar, to eat my own drink is difficult..," said Luna's father with teary eyes.


" Why don't you ask your family for help?, where are they all. It is not that they also enjoy the wealth that you get. So they should have taken care of you, right" said the shaman.


" They go Cake. They are people who do not know themselves who can only dredge my treasure. And when I was sick they just left Me." said Luna's father.


" You lied !. The father who evicted my mother was my other brother. The Father always cursed us with hurtful profanities. And I see how Mom cries silently in the kitchen every time you finish nailing her...!" between the spirits of Luna while staring angrily at her father.


Rex could only nod in a sign of understanding. Although Luna's voice sounded loud but unfortunately it would not reach the ears of her father and the shaman.


Suddenly the shaman looked at the corner of the room. He moved slowly towards the door as if he wanted to escape. Luna's father knew that something had come to the room to see her.


" Where are you going, Cake, why stay away so...?" ask Luna's father.


" I have to go because there is still business.." said the shaman while opening the door and then out of the room.


Luna's father turned his head when he felt a strong gust of wind gushing down his body. And when he turned his head, the caravan of cartridges was standing before him staring fixedly at him.


" Who are you...?" ask Luna's father.


" We've been helping you all along. Since you did not give up the tumbar like the initial agreement, then We came to pick you up." said one of the coffin bearers.


" Fetch me, for what...?" ask Luna's dad worried.


" Of course it becomes a tumbar..," said the pengusung keranda with a big smile.


The terrible smile of an eyeless human form with skin as pale as a corpse made Luna's father scream in fear. He berussha shifted from his original position to stay away but unfortunately his efforts failed.


" I don't want to, not me...!" screams Luna's father.


Luna's father's screams rang out inside the house but no one came to help.


Apparently the demon worship Luna's father did not accept Luna's father as a victim because of his unworthy condition. Moreover, the spirit of Luna trapped there has managed to escape thanks to a sincere prayer that a religious leader recited for her.


It happened because Luna's mother and her brother were suspicious of Luna's disappearance. They remember, when Luna was declared missing, shortly afterwards the father had a lot of money to build a house and buy a lot of good things. Things my father never did before.


But when they complain about Luna's disappearance, the father seems to be unconcerned. Therefore, they secretly went to a cleric and asked for help in order to find Luna. The cleric led the prayer to find the existence of Luna and it was good for Luna.


Sincere prayer can make the bond of the devil loose and Luna was free. But unfortunately the demon continues to pursue Luna while carrying the body of the dying father to warn Luna to come back.


" So the figure in the coffin is your father...?" ask Rex.


" yes. But I do not want to go back there..," said the spirit of Luna.


" You're not going back there because it's not where you are. There are other places that are more worthy of you and I will help you go there." Rex said.


" Thank you Rex..," said Luna's spirit with teary eyes.


" All together. Now can we go back...?" ask Rex.


" Of course..," said Luna's spirit and a second later Rex had returned to Shezi's hospital room.


Rex opened his eyes slowly and saw that all eyes were staring at him.


" I'm fine, '" said Rex.


" Alhamdulillah., "say everyone with a smile.


Then Rex told his family everything he had seen. Lanni was the hardest hit. He heard Rex's story.


" So it seems. Then what do you want to do now Rex...?" lanni asked as she wiped the tears that washed her face.


" At least Aunt Luna can go if we help her. And the coffin-bearers will not be able to pursue it again because they are different in nature.


" good. Let's do it now...!" lanni said enthusiastically.


" Yes Ma'am. But I should be ablution again yes so that it can be more solemn when praying Aunt Luna later..," pinta Rex.


" Ok..," said Lanni quickly then rushed to the toilet followed by Lilian.


Shortly afterwards Rex and his family performed two rakaat sunah prayers led by Ramon. They prayed for Luna. Along with the prayer, Luna's spirit appears to be standing in the corner of the room.


If previously Luna appeared in cloth, she currently appears free without fabric twists.


" Please tell your mother that I love her unconditionally. Always happy. I go and thank you for all the affection he and Ramon have given me. Thank you for the prayer you sent me. Now I have to go because the light has come to pick me up." said Luna's spirit as she looked up.


" Yes Auntie, go." Rex said with a smile.


After the prayer ended, Rex conveyed Luna's message to her mother. Lanni came back crying hearing that.


" But the most important thing is that the terror of the coffin bearers there will be no more Rex...?" ask Ramon.


" It should be Dad. The one they were after also did not exist..," said Rex quickly.


" But who knows they are pranksters and deliberately nakutin residents of Rex..," interrupted Gama.


" If they want the most fad after Shezi Gam..," said Rex casually while glancing at Shezi.


" Eh, that's it. I don't want to be Captain. Captain...!" call Shezi loud.


Rex ignores Shezi's call by getting out of the room to make the girl scoop up on the bed. Of course Shezi's attitude made everyone laugh again.
