Corpse

Long Night

After I cleaned my body I chatted with my two children in their room. We told him about what we couldn't tell on the phone including my work in the city while still with the pastry.

"Indeed, my mother is not afraid of the devil" asked my second son

"That's not a demon boy, that's a corpse" I explained

"Stay ma'am, it means you're playing with the devil" said my first child

Suddenly the electricity went out. My son who had been talking about spooky things immediately shouted at the same time.

"Ahhhh." cried both my sons

I began to feel someone standing outside the window. My son's cat was incessantly clawing at the front door. Because I felt a spirit coming.

I'm looking for a flashlight on the tv table. I saw a shadow standing outside the front door. My two children are beside me. Holding the side of my shirt.

"Mom I'm afraid, the devil is angry is the same talk" said my second son

"You are the deck" said my first son

"Hush.. No more fighting. Help me read the Koran" I said trying to tear them both apart

My son who understands my habits if I see the unseen immediately follows me ablution.

"Son, we read the letter first yes. After that we read the letter of kahfi" I said while wearing a mukenah

The three of us sat side by side towards the Qibla. We read al-Yasin's letter. In the middle of the verse there began to be a noise above the ceiling. Like the sound of a rat running around even if it's not a real mouse.

We tightened the volume of voices teaching the three of us. While reading the letter kahfi also the sound of howling dogs are unceasingly unpretentious. There was even a dog standing in front of the gate and howling towards the front door of my house.

"Mom, can I bring in the meow? I don't want him to die either ma'am like the 'ipi" said my second son

My son used to have a 4-tailed cat. He had been nurturing since childhood which he found in the market. But when the turmoil of land disputes belonging to my husband that I want to sell, 3 cats died suddenly. When there are bad people who want to harm my family, it just bounced to the cat. I'm grateful my family survived but my son is saddened by the death of his cat.

"Please, son, let's close by reciting the verse of the chair 10 times" I said to calm my son

While reading the verse of the chair, repeatedly the middle door of the living room and the kitchen creaked. My two children are holding both my hands. Slowly the house becomes neutral, not hot or cold. Suddenly the electricity was on.

"Alhamdulillah" we said simultaneously

"About 1 more time read the verse of his chair" I said pulling my son's hand. He was worried about the cat outside the house.

*****

My son also brought his cat into the house.

"Mother Kangen is not the same as meow? Meong has not been carried by the mother for a long time" said my son with a voice like a child

When I saw the meow, I saw his eyes were red and there was something in the meow's body. Then I held the head of the meow and recited the verse of the chair. Meow is rebellious, her retainer is angry with me.

"Sir, it's better the meow is put outside first. I don't want the house to be negative again" I said by wiping the body of the meow

"Mom, has anyone possessed meow huh? How will meow escape?" ask my son

"Trust me, son, there's nothing to worry about" I said back

Tonight we slept in three of my rooms. No time shows at 1 am. I tried to close my eyes even though someone blew my crown.
