I'M REIMBOGGING MY BODY

KT 86'S

Juan was driving Serena at a moderate speed. Entering areas that are deserted by residents and lack of lighting. Joni who sat in the front passenger seat occasionally glanced at Serena who was sitting in the middle seat. The girl looked uncomfortable with the environment they were passing through. There were only lush trees and irregularly creeping shrubs, which seemed to welcome their arrival.

The sun began to return to the western horizon, leaving a dark creeping slowly. The sound of the night beast adds to the horror of being in a foreign place of destination.

“Serena, you can move seats if you are afraid to be alone in the back,” bargain Joni on Serena who was even a little surprised. It seemed that the girl was daydreaming, to the point that she did not hear Juan or Joni's call.

“What are you thinking?” juan asked who was worried about Serena, because the girl still did not answer his call that somehow.

“I think of mother. We did not have time to say goodbye,” said Serena slowly. He doesn't look excited at all. In fact, he was the most chatty to tell Juan and Joni to immediately go to Ni Maryam's house to help his sister Zahra.

“After this is done, you will be able to meet him as much as you.” Juan tried to make Serena cheerful again.

“Eth why do I feel that we are going to meet a big obstacle ahead. And I'm so not sure if we'll be able to go home and see mom again,” Serena revealed the anxiety that has haunted her since.

Juan and Joni were both silent. The two could sense what was the source of Serena's fear. No one can guess for sure what will happen next. But whatever it is, Juan and Joni will do everything they can to help Serena heal Zahra.

“I've moved my club's ownership in your name,” Juan said again opening the conversation to break the silence.

“Myname? Wh why? Where are you going?” joni asked who was suddenly panicked.

“This body that I am wearing, can't last continuously, and I can't make Serena the owner either. So I used your name to be the boss who replaced the original owner.”

“I don't want to!” reject Joni.

“Why?”

“It's neither mine nor yours. If I accept it, wouldn't it be the same if I stole it from the person you possessed?”

“You can't be a driver forever right? You need a job that can provide more income to support your family later.”

“But this is not the way,” Joni still refused.

“As much as you agree or not, I certainly did what I had to do to help your future. I don't want Serena's career to degenerate because of you. You're the one who knows the most like his struggle to get to where he is now. And you need something strong to be able to continue to be a supporter, which is a lot of money.”

Serena can only listen to the debate between Juan and Joni. She did not expect to see two men who cared about her so much, arguing in order to give her the best.

Serena used to feel that her life was full of injustice. He was very envious of seeing his friends' harmonious family with complete family members. Fathers and mothers who are the strongest foundation of a family, are always willing to be there for their children.

Serena's life is perfect. Father and mother who love each other, give love and sincere affection to him also Zahra. But unfortunately it only happened first. Once before. Before his father suddenly turned violent, even to his own wife and children.

After the change of attitude of the father, then the turn to change the attitude of his friends. Friends who were usually by her side, one by one began to leave her and leave hostility without Serena knowing the reason.

As if that wasn't enough. His mother also began to get sick. Serena is getting worse. Circumstances forced him to become the backbone of the family after the departure of his father who no longer cared about the fate of his household.

“Serena...” Call Juan.

“Serena...” call Joni.

“Serena!” Juan and Joni compactly raise the voice to make Serena aware of her banquet.

“Eh!” Serena was shocked. “What?” tanyanya's confused.

“Why are you daydreaming all the time? We're talking about you!” juan's protest was busy driving in the middle of a dark road.

“This time, what else do you think of hem?” Joni asked in a soft voice.

“No Bang Jon.”

“If there's nothing you're thinking about, why didn't you answer both of our calls from earlier?” juan did not believe.

“Oh that. Although this won't last forever, at least I was given the chance to feel cared for. I won't tell you how my life used to be before you, but I'm so grateful to the owner of the life for sending you to me.”

Well. Serena must be feeling very lucky right now. In an improper situation like this, it turns out that there is something that makes him still able to smile. Build great hope to live a better life later. Only, he also had a problem that needed to be resolved immediately.

“Juan... Bang Jon... is our journey still long?” serena asked him later to switch the conversation. He did not want to get the questioning gazes of the two men in front of him.

“In the meantime,” replied Juan. “Didn't you ever come here before with Joni?” Juan asked back.

“Iya, ever. But I'm not so familiar with the path. Bang Jon who knows this place without me having to guide.”

“We only need five minutes after the turn that is in front of it,” point Joni.

“Why are you here again?” ask the little girl who lives with Ni Maryam to Serena.

“I need help,” replied Serena while lowering her height, in order to align with the little girl who she thought was very sweet.

“What about your sister?” ask the little girl again.

“Iya. How do you know?”

“You have to make sacrifices to be able to return your sister safely.”

The little girl fingered Serena's cheeks suddenly. A gentle swipe on her cheek, allowing Serena to see random shadows resembling messy pieces of a puzzle.

Serena's eyes are perfectly rounded. His fear grew because of the vision that the little girl had given him. Serena's mouth was almost open to ask, but a voice was already heard to precede.

“Do not disturb my guest, Sekar!” that's Ni Maryam's voice.

Serena and the little girl both looked up towards Ni Maryam who was already standing in the doorway. It was as if he was allowing his guests to enter immediately.

“So your name is Sekar?” serena asked the little girl.

No answer was heard. The little girl replaced it with a light nod with a thin smile.

Serena steps up to follow Juan and Joni who have entered Ni Maryam's house first. But before that he stopped, because there was a small hand holding him. His head turned back to the owner of the hand that was blocking his walk.

“Can you take me away from this place?’ sekar asked Serena with a pleading gaze.

Serena is confused as to what to answer. He was shocked to hear a request he had never thought of.

“Why do you want to leave here?” ask Serena gently. Sekar is a very attractive child for the size of a child who lives in a remote and even creepy place. But Serena needed to know what made the little girl want to leave Ni maryam who had been living with her all this time.

“What Ni Maryam will allow me to take you?” serena asked doubtfully. He actually did not mind if he had to take Sekar home. But he also needs permission from Ni Maryam as the guardian who has been taking care of Sekar all this time.

“You don't need his permission to take me. So... do you want to take me home?”

Home means home. A house containing family members. A warm home filled with love. Is that the desire?

-------------------------------------------

“Actually where are we going Ki?” ask Yuli who feels foreign to the road she is going through.

“I told you I wanted to see someone. Why are you so chatty?!” replied Ki Jarot. She was feeling careless with Yuli's attitude that had not stopped asking since earlier.

“I'll just ask! If you can, why don't you go alone!” snapped Yuli who had been provoked by emotions. His mind kept on turning to the son who was unconscious as he left. The long, tiring journey added to his growing anger.

“In front turn right,” reply. The old man ignored his wife who was holding back in annoyance.

No more conversations took place in the car during the next trip. There was only Ki Jarot's voice that occasionally showed the direction where the car should move.

Yuli followed Ki Jarot's direction while continuing to grumble inwardly. He could sense that there were other creatures riding in the car he was driving. Maybe Ki Jarot used the creature as a guide, because Yuli was sure that Ki Jarot had never been to the place they were going.

Previously he could see all kinds of pet astral beings Ki Jarot, but ever since his female demon disappeared, then it also vanished all of his abilities. Now he was just an ordinary human being without any strength. And that made him even more powerless to refuse Ki's command of jarot and be forced to obey all his increasingly annoying will.

-------------------------------------------

“Please take me away from here,” pinta Sekar once again on Serena.

“Sekar. But I'm not sure I can go back home after this.”

Sekar bowed listlessly. But not long after, she slightly raised her head towards the back of Serena's body. His head nodded slowly, as if he was having a conversation with something invisible.

Serena followed the direction of Sekar's vision, but she could not see anything.

“What do you see?” ask her with a restless feeling. The feathers began to bristle after realizing that there was something strange with the gaze of Sekar.

Smile now. “Ibuku,” answer.

“Your mother? Where?” serena asked even more afraid, because she did not see the figure that Sekar meant.

“It! Behind you,” show Sekar.

“But I can't see anything, Sekar.”

“Do you want to see it? I can help you if you want,” bargain Sekar.

Serena shook her head quickly, her hands swayed as a sign of rejection.

“No! No need,” Serena refused hard. But he also could not cover his curiosity about the figure of Sekar's mother that was invisible to his eyes.

“What is your mother beautiful, Sekar?”

“Of course. My mother is the most beautiful woman in the world. And he has allowed me to come with you,” Sekar explained. “But unfortunately, you rejected me.” he added.

“I'm not rejecting you baby. I'm just not sure I can return home safely. Eehm.. Put it this way,” for a moment Serena thought.

“If I can save Zahra, I promise I'll take you away from here. How?” ask Serena.

Sekar who had been bowed lethargic, now sparkling cheerful full of happiness. His head nodded vigorously with a wide smile.

“Rena... Ni Maryam is looking for you,” Joni's voice interrupts Sekar's blooming excitement. The little girl then grabbed Serena's arm and followed her into the old house.

--------------------------------------------

“What should I do to help Zahra Ni?”

Serena did not need to tell Ni Maryam the details. The old grandmother immediately understood just by coming face to face with Juan.

“There must be a victim to help your sister. Are you willing to do anything for him?” ask Ni Maryam.

“Iya. I'm willing.” Serena answered without hesitation.

“Is there no other way Ni?” this time it was Juan who let out his voice.

“Why?” ask Ni Maryam. “Do you want to replace him?”

“.……”

“You seem to really like your employer this time. But I need to remind you, Raja, you're just tied to marriage with this girl. The agreement between you will be lost with the destruction of the seal on her body,” pointed Ni Maryam at Serena.

“And the person who wanted the girl was perfectly capable of doing so. The old man can break the seal that ties your marriage to the science he mastered easily. And after that, you have no obligation whatsoever to be the protector of Serena.”.

Juan remained silent. He knew who Ni Maryam was referring to. Only Joni and Serena remained who still looked confused without daring to ask.

“Alright.. we must immediately welcome guests who will soon come. Prepare yourselves. Although it can not help, at least do not complicate me.”

Ni Maryam got up from her cross-legged seat in front of Serena and Joni. While Juan and Sekar chose to sit beside a table full of offerings and also a combustion furnace with smoke billowing with a pungent aroma. Even Serena and Joni had to cough many times because they were not used to the smell that disturbed their breathing.
