57. Consultation

After hearing the story of Fadlan and his friends, Rex moved quickly by contacting ustadz Mahdi. He went to the house of the ustadz to consult about the mystical experience of Fadlan cs.

When visiting the house of Ustadz Mahdi, Fadlan happened to be greeted by the daughter of the famous ustadz beautiful and sholeh. Rex smiled at how nervous the hijab girl was when she met him.

" Assalamualaikum.., "greet Rex while knocking on the open door.

" Wa alaikumsalam..," said Aisyah as she stepped up and opened the door wider.

Aisha and Rex stared at each other. But in the next second Aisyah appeared to bow her head in embarrassment.

" I'm sorry to interrupt, Mr. Ustadz is no Ma'am...?" ask Rex politely.

" There's. Sorry, who's this with...?" ask Aisyah.

" Oh tell me Rex is Mr. Ramon's son. Insha Allah he understands..," said Rex quickly.

" good. Please sit down, let me call Abi first.", Aisyah said as she pulled over and let Rex into the house.

" Thank you..," said Rex who answered with a nod of Aisyah's head.

Then Aisyah rushed into the interior of the house to digigio the abi. Apparently Ustadz Mahdi was working on the sunah prayer two rokaat until Aisyah was forced to wait until the abi was finished.

" Abi..," called Ayesha softly as she prayed.

" Why son, there's a guest...?" ask ustadz Mahdi.

" Yes Bi, how does Abi know...?" ask Aisyah.

" Abi Denger someone knocked on the front door when he started praying earlier. Who's guest...?" ask ustadz Mahdi.

" Bi Man, he said his son Mr. Ramon..," said Aisyah.

" Oh Mas Rex yes." said Ustadz Mahdi.

" Yes Bi..," said Aisyah quickly.

" If so please make a drink, son. Abi will talk to him for a long time" asked the ustadz.

" Why is Abi so sure that he will be visiting here for a long time...?" aisha did not understand.

" Because Mas Rex is the kind of person who doesn't like pleasantries. He will not come here just for reasons as sincere as most men." said Ustadz Mahdi.

Aisyah understood and nodded her head. After that he stepped into the kitchen to make a drink according to the request of the abi.

Soon enough, Ustadz Mahdi meets Rex. He seemed to smile broadly watching the young man sitting quietly in a chair while observing his surroundings.

" The Assalamualaikum Mas Rex...!" ustadz Mahdi.

" Alaikumsalam Ustadz. How are you...?" rex asked as he got up from his seat and kissed the back of his hand solemnly.

" Thank God be good. I'm surprised to see Mas here, I again think what wind brought Mas Rex here yes..," joked Ustadz Mahdi.

" Ah, Ustadz could. I am ashamed of it. I'm here right there need to doang, if there's nothing not necessarily I'm here. Yes, it is Ustadz

...," said Rex unwell while scratching his head that does not itch.

Ustadz Mahdi laughed. Along with that Aisyah entered the living room while carrying a tray containing two cups of warm drinks and snacks.

As Aisyah placed the tray along with its contents on the table, Rex continued to observe Aisyah. He smiled at the girl's nervousness.

" Please drink the coffee Bi, Mas Rex..," said Aisyah.

" Thank you..," said Rex.

" Together," Aisyah said with a smile and rushed into the house.

" Ehm..., so what needs brought Mas Rex to come here...?" tanya ustadz Mahdi tries to break the silence.

" It's about Fadlan and his friends Ustadz." Rex said quickly.

" Fadlan Pak Komar's son yes...?" ask ustadz Mahdi.

" Ustadz. How did Ustadz know...?" ask Rex.

" The boy often does. Mr. Komar also several times confided with me and asked for a solution to handle his son.

" Oh that. Surely Mr. Komar was very confused Ustadz..," said Rex with a laugh.

" Right..," said Ustadz Mahdi, laughing.

" What is it that Fadlan often does that Ustadz...?" ask Rex curiously.

" Fadlan is now first class SMK. Well since entering technical school he became naughty, said his father yes. Fadlan often defiantly when advised, joined brawls, went home at night and even stayed up with his friends. Mr. Komar means, Fadlan can stay up late on weekends or school holidays only. Not every night. In addition to not good for health, Fadlan also so often late to school." said Ustadz Mahdi explained.

" Oh that. But the incident that Fadlan experienced that I will tell Ustadz this could be a valuable lesson for Fadlan. And I guarantee that he will think a few dozen times to stay up again Ustadz..," said Rex convinced.

" Oh yeah, what happened...?" ask ustadz Mahdi.

Rex also recounts the beginning of his meeting with Fadlan and his friends. What Fadlan cs did included the dreams Fadlan and Emir had.

Ustadz Mahdi seemed to listen carefully to all the narrations of Rex. From behind the wall looks Aisyah also stood up to steal the conversation Rex had with the abi. Aisyah shuddered at the experience of Fadlan and his friends.

" It's a serious problem. Unfortunately I can not help because I am not fit anymore. Because to overcome the subtle creatures it will require careful preparation including physical and stamina are ok..," said Ustadz Mahdi.

Ustadz Mahdi's remarks disappointed Rex. He was confused where else to seek help. Moreover, he had promised Fadlan and his friends to help them to the end.

" But Rex doesn't have to worry. I have a friend who used to handle this kind of case. God willing, if he is not busy, he will help. Because usually he also went to various places to meruqyah patients who were bullied by subtle creatures..," said Ustadz Mahdi while gulping his coffee.

" Thank God. So when can I meet him Ustadz...?" ask Rex impatiently.

" Let me telephon first for his readiness to help Fadlan..," said Ustadz Mahdi.

" Well Ustadz, thank you..," Rex said with a sigh of relief.

" All together. Temporarily direct Fadlan and his friends to regularly perform congregational prayers at the mosque. Insha Allah the fear that haunts them will be reduced," said Ustadz Mahdi.

" Yes, Ustadz, I've been told that way too. And they want to do it because they are afraid of being disturbed by the ghosts.

" But don't fear them as ghosts overcome their fear of Allah." Ustadz Mahdi reminded.

" Ustadz ready..," said Rex quickly to make ustadz Mahdi smile.

Behind the wall, Aisyah smiled at Rex's obedient speech.
