56. The Ghost is Two

Two days after Rex's encounter with Fadlan and his friends, Fadlan comes to Ramon's house in search of Rex.

" The Bang Rex is Om...?" fadlan asked after Ramon answered his greetings.

" Not yet to come home. Tumben nyariin Bang Rex...?" ask Ramon.

" Yes Om, again there needs to be a little. Usually Bang Rex comes home at what time Om...?" ask Fadlan again.

" It's supposed to be a reception hour at home. But sometimes Bang Rex stopped by Bang Gama's workshop. Ntar returned home about nine or ten o'clock that's it.., '" said Ramon.

Ramon's reply left Fadlan disappointed. He looked agitated and that made Ramon feel sorry. Because he believes the teenager needs Rex's help, Ramon offers to help contact Rex.

" Our first telephon let Bang Rex come home and not stop by anywhere ya..," said Ramon to make Fadlan smile.

" May be Om..," said Fadlan with a sparkling face.

Ramon contacted Rex with his phone. Across the phone Rex was seen patting his forehead forgetting his promise to Fadlan and his friends.

" You go home first, son. Rex said he'd meet you at the mosque later. He was also a pesen if you have to participate in Maghrib prayer congregation in the mosque." said Ramon.

" Okay, if that's what I say Om. All of you want to tell the friends to gather at the mosque later. Thank you Om, Assalamualaikum.," said Fadlan while kissing the back of Ramon's hand solemnly and then rushed away.

" Wa alaikumsalam.., "said Ramon while releasing Fadlan's departure with a smile.

Rex kept his promise to meet Fadlan and his friends after the Maghrib prayers congregated at the mosque.

Now they sit on the terrace of the mosque. While waiting for the Isya Rex prayer time also began advising the teenagers in front of him. Fadlan and his friends seem to be seriously listening to Rex's reviews.

" There are things that can not be done toys including about spirits or subtle creatures. Actually, you know if you play jailangkung means you call the spirits of people who have died...?" rex asked as he looked at the teenagers before him one by one.

" Tau Bang.," said Kevin representing his friends.

" The Brother does not understand why you have an idea to play the game. Are there any other types of games, huh...?" ask Rex.

" That's because of Fadlan Bang...!" said Kevin and his friends while pointing towards Fadlan.

" Why am I...?!" fadlan said he didn't take it.

" Emang Lo !. Actually we just want to walk to the mall that just opened it. But Lo even ngusulin g*la idea for a guts test...!" hardik Emir is upset.

" That's because Kevin nantangin I..," said Fadlan.

" Ga nantangin cave. Kan I just said that once the land made by the mall was a lot of ghosts. So it's no wonder if people who work there on trance..," said Kevin did not want to lose.

" But Lo says we're all cowards...!" sahut Fadlan is upset.

" That's because you all don't believe the same story. I got that story from a reliable source. The guy works as a security at the mall, often going to night shift as well. You can imagine controlling that big place at night, quiet, no one. I believe the same story but Lo even memgeremehin story I. That's why I challenge you all for a guts test. Lo all if you talk to the jago tuh..," said Kevin while sneering.

Fadlan, Emir and his friends were silent at Kevin's reply. While Rex could not help but laugh at the main reason they played that silly game. Rex is aware that their age is in a curious stage and wants to try many things.

" So, what kind of creature came when you played that jailhack...?" rex asked after his laughter subsided.

" Mmm.., he is the spirit of the man who died because of Bang..," said Fadlan quickly.

" It's not Mir. That's right what Fadlan said, '" said Kevin and another.

" But I dream so. The woman came while saying she should be married immediately so it is..," said the Emir did not want to lose.

Seeing the teenagers in front of him arguing again, Rex smiled. He remembers often doing the same with Gama, Fatir and their other friends.

" That's enough. Try the story why you can be sure if it's the spirit of the murder victim...?" rex asked while looking at Fadlan.

" When we finish reading the mantra, or the candle dies. There continued to be a sound like a sack of rice that jatoh to the land of Bang. There was a sound of people groaning in pain as well. The candle was worn again, there was nothing there. But my body is goosebumps all Bang.," said Fadlan, shuddering.

Kevin and a friend confirmed Fadlan's statement. While the Emir and other friends stared at each other confused because they were sure that was not what they experienced during the game jailangkung.

" He also came in Bang's dream, the same rich Emir alamin. His face is not clear, rich silhouette of a man but no head. His body was covered in blood, he wore clothes and his hands stretched out while whimpering for help to find his head," said Fadlan added.

" Well, how do you guys do...?" rex asked as he looked at the Emir and the other teenagers alternately.

" When I fit the candle dead, there's a street girl behind me. His clothes were long to the floor, so if he walked, the sound of srek srek sound like someone else nyapu. The air around Kita is cold but fragrant Bang..," said the Emir who is taken by his friends.

" You also dream of rich Fadlan and Emir ga...?" rex asked while looking at Kevin.

" It's not Bang...!" kevin and his friends at the same time.

" When you, what dream is Mir...?" rex asked while looking at the Emir.

" Mmm.., that's Bang..," the Emir seemed hesitant to tell.

" That's what...?" ask Rex patiently.

" Gapapa Mir, the story is all so that Bang Rex can help until it is complete. Does Lo want to be invited every night with a ghost...?" kevin asked half a whisper.

" Yes, I don't want Vin. It's good, but it's been horrifying for a long time, too. I don't want to die being chased by ghosts because of how I've been struggling, which I don't know myself...!" sahut Emir fast.

The Emir's speech made Rex frown. He stared in full search at the Emir who was sitting while occasionally staring around him in agitation.

" You were invited to relate int*m to the same ghost Mir...?" ask Rex carefully.

" Yes Bang..," said the Emir and lowered his face in shame.

" Athaghfirullah aladzim.," said Rex, shaking his head and causing the teenagers before him to panic.

" Kok istighfar Bang. Is that dangerous, Bang...?" ask the Emir worried.

" Yes..," said Rex quickly.

" So we gotta do Bang...?!" ask Fadlan.

" We must act. Because ghosts who come to the dream continue to do int*m relationships are usually creatures that flow black aka evil. The effect can be detrimental because the positive aura of the person he is invited to do it will be drained out. And the creature will not release its victims until the victim dies..," said Rex.

Rex's remarks made Fadlan cs surprised. They looked at each other with confused and scared looks. In their hearts they regretted having played the dangerous game of jailangkung.
