Karuhuns

Part 10: Abah

Two beasts fell from the roof, the three-bladed and the white, their bodies both pierced the astral beings, they beat them one by one, while I was retreating because there were still people coming off and chasing me, I was cornered, they started to grab my hands, legs, head and my whole body was already in their hands.

“Tolooooonggggg!!!” I screamed with all my might.

“Ser!!!” Someone pulled my hand and dragged me, finally I was free from the encirclement of those creatures.

My hand was held by someone who helped me just now, he was gnawing at me and kept running fast. I saw that the three-striped and the snail had been helped by another tiger that was just as big, as it was, while I was running and started down the stairs to the 1st floor, I could not find the stairs when I ran down the hall many times.

When we reached the 1st floor, there was a lot waiting for us.

“How is Mr Hanif?” I asked the man, yes, he was Mr. Hanif the person I was looking for, he saved me.

“Let me borrow yours,” After speaking as soon as he jerked my tightly held hand, then he chanted some words I didn't understand, I felt the whole body rumble, like being pulled by a huge wind and the instant dozens of other creatures stood behind me, they looked just as terrifying as the creatures here but were larger in size and probably numbering over 10, they looked just as terrifying as the creatures here, but they were all wearing the same scarf, the green scarf, they looked down and stood up straight, lined up behind me and Mr. Hanif.

“Ser, if you have seen the gap to run, run, call the Maung to escort you, you can not be touched again, otherwise this island will be destroyed, understand!” Mr. Hanif started a fight with the creatures, aided by the green-tipped troops, strange, I think they are allies with the creatures in this building, it turns out they are helping us instead.

Aummmmmmmmm, I saw that the three-pointed one was already in front of me, he hinted to get on his back, I did it because I had no choice, so go up to his back, I said, suddenly there was a green shawl wrapped around the neck of this supernatural tiger, the shawl became a handle, the tiger started to run very fast, I was holding very strong, very fragrant, scented pandan, out of my tiger body.

As soon as I got to the exit, I came down from his body, strange as I saw before this was a lobby door, but why now it only looks like a worn out door from an old building.

We've been outside this old building, before long I saw a white tiger was also out followed by another tiger who helped me earlier, the three of them were around me, I thought it was safe turned out wrong, I thought it was wrong, the whole island is dark and there are no more residents or markets around here, there is only this old building, the building that looks like a former lighthouse has not been used for a long time, destroyed here and there, the creatures are filling the island more and more, we're trapped!

“Lari Ser, Run!” Mr. Hanif shouted, I spontaneously ran with 3 tigers and dozens of green-scattered creatures that surrounded me like a shield, as long as we ran Mr. Hanif and the creatures that helped me unceasingly dispel the creatures from this island, before long we reached the shore, there was a boat, there was a boat, and an aged man wearing black scatter clothes, he told me to go up, I immediately went up followed by Mr. Hanif and the boat boat went very fast.

“Pak, how about them? Stop, stop!” I told the man driving our boat to stop, as the 3 tigers and the green-scattered creature left on the island were still fighting.

“Ser! Ser, look at me, calm down first, we got to the island first we just talked ok.” Mr. Hanif pointed at the island that was previously invisible to me.

“But sir, how are they? They are overwhelmed, they are injured and, and that's because I pack!” I was crying so much.

...

“Drink first Ser, warm black coffee.” Mr. Hanif thrust a glass and a pot of black coffee after we arrived at the island appointed by Mr. Hanif and it turns out this is where Mr. Hanif's house.

“Thank You.” I took a glass and poured my coffee.

“Surely just a glass?”

“Why pack?” I don't get it.

“You have no pity on them, they are tired and hungry.” Mr. Hanif pointed around me.

“Astagfirullah.” I was shocked, suddenly the Three-bellied Tiger, the White Tiger and the Green-scared Beings were already behind me. “Ma-mau coffee.” I'm reflex offering.

“Ser, you're funny.”

“Why pack?” I don't understand what's funny exactly?

“They don't eat and drink like us, they eat from your energy, coffee is the fastest energy they can absorb, especially black coffee.”

“Why do they eat from my energy sir?” I'm still uncomfortable with them, they're good but I still find it hard to accept.

“Because they belong to you, they are bequeathed to you, he is called karuhun.” Mr. Hanif pointed at the three-bladed tiger.

I turned to him, he looked at me sharply, he looked savage, beside him the white tiger was even worse, he was bigger and fanged longer, similar to a seal but a big version, he was a big one, sure is.

“Then, yours?” I pointed at the tiger behind him.

“Iya, she's mine.”

“But sir, why did the place this afternoon feel so different, there was a market, there were residents even though there were not many residents and the building looked like a hotel, he said, why did we get out that building turned into an old building and like a place that has been uninhabited for a long time?”

“Not only the building that has been a long time, the island was also uninhabited island, you are the third person who lost there, sorry, not lost, you were indeed picked up by them to get there, they do not understand, you're not me, you're more than they can face, so I'm not there to save you, I saved the island and he.”

“dia? who is he?”

“Adinda, he is the genie waiting for the island, the first person to get lost there is me, Adinda is the leader of the genie there, she is a good beautiful genie, she is a beautiful genie, he will only borrow energy for urgent matters, he never intends to borrow a human body, but the creatures that attack you, they are different, they want your body, they want your body, mastering your power and hoping to be the leader on the island, but they don't understand, you're not just the heir of Karuhun, you are .... ”

“Hanif,” I see Malik in this room.

“Malik, how are you here?!” I'm surprised Malik is here.

“Sir Malik told me you were coming here, he was afraid you would get lost to the island and he was too far away to be able to help you.”

“Malik, how do you know I'll get lost?”

“Ser, I've booked a plane, we're home tonight too.”

“Pak, is it not dangerous if you guys cross this night, it's already 9 pm.”

“Hanif, you and I know what the risk is Sera there on this island, too close.”

“Why? Why can't I stay here long?”

“Hanif,” Malik hinted Mr. Hanif to come out with him.

“why do you guys have to talk outside?” I tried to follow them, but Mr. Hanif's tiger was blocking me, I was shocked because suddenly the three-bladed tiger and the white one were in front of me, they were preparing to fight.

“Ok, ok, enough, quite” I pulled the tail of the tigers that he said were mine, automatically they looked at me and stopped, they looked annoyed and roared loudly towards the tiger Mr. Hanif, then just disappear.

“Ser, come.” Malik pulled my hand, I had no strength to resist.

“Loh, Mr Hanif coming too?” I was shocked that Mr. Hanif had entered the Boat, just now I was about to ask about the thing for which I had come here, but I saw Malik holding my nape and jerking it, it was all dark.

...

“Malik where is this?”

“Dipesawat.” Malik replied without looking, he was exhausted and closed his eyes.

“Which Hanif sir? I want to talk.” Malik did not answer.

If Malik hadn't come I would have gotten the answer, Malik would have always bothered me.

...

Malik will return me to my Mamah while he said, I feel the wife who made a sin and was flipped over to her parents for further self-introspection, after all her fault, why is she too busy with her new secretary, it was difficult for me to discuss the problem that the demon snake said, so I went to see Mr. Hanif.

“Dho, 1 week yes, later Sera I pick up again.” As soon as Malik airport handed me over to Mas Ridho, he didn't even look at me one bit, strange man, he got angry? But the moment he turned his back on me, I saw part of his arm, blood running from under his shirt down, he got hurt?

“Malik!” I called out to him, he did not turn his head and instead accelerated his pace, by the time I was about to catch up, Mas Ridho held my hand and asked what was with the facial expression.

“No Mas, come.” I pulled my brother, maybe I saw it wrong, we got in the car and drove to Mamah's house.

My mother's house is only 2 hours drive from the capital, the capital where I live and Malik, I come home once a month, sometimes sooner, sometimes sooner, as I told you earlier that my mother was a single parent, after so much suffering that my mother went through to raise us, she was finally able to calm down in her old age, so 5 years ago mama asked to move to his hometown, My brother happened to meet his wife in the hometown of mama, so my brother also lives with mama, the catering business mama growing rapidly, Malik lends capital that in 3 years can be repaid.

“Mbaakkk.” My beautiful sister hugged me as soon as we got home, she was still in college last semester, my beautiful sister she rarely troubled us, so if she asked for something for me it was an edict.

“Mbak stink tau, maen hugs aja, anyways already big still like a child 2 years.” I commemorate his efficacious attitude.

“Let's go, wrong yourself go home once a month.” She's a monyong, typical of her crutches.

“Ma,” I hug mom and salim.

“Udah eat first there, Mama has cooked your favorite potato balado, same already Mama make coffee Item yes.” As usual, my mom is the best.

“Malik where is Ser?” mama asked.

“Ngot coming.” Ridho replied.

“Kok, even though he called mama, he said you took a week off from the office, mama thought he wanted a proposal amu.”

“What?” I'm choking on coffee, “ Ma, really, time to apply, he's just a friend, Mama knows I'm the same Malik how.”

“Free friends? But kok Mamah ngerasya different.”

“Whatever, Mr. Hanif is much more different.” Uh, why am I comparing Malik and Mr. Hanif, ah, good thing Malik does not exist.

“Ser, Mama do not like yes you are related to just any guy, anyway you have been Mama tippedin to Malik, he is a good person, later if you meet someone wrong, you can be utilized.”

Mama did not know Malik, Malik was the one who used me a lot, his crazy idea to get married just came from his greed to rule the world. Mr. Hanif is much better, he even went to remote islands to devote his life there, away from the glare of the world. But it is undeniable that my heart is always for Malik.

“Very much to eat, abis rodi mbak?” My sister was shocked because I ate more than a few times.

“Cause of career women who live alone rarely eat home-cooked food.”

“Ati-ati fat, ntar Kak Malik turned.”

“Eh, carelessly you talk, later I call my lawyer yes, I demand Body Shaming.”

Seina laughed, mama, Mas Ridho and mbak Ayu my sister-in-law also laughed, quite like this, they do not need to know anymore that I ‘kambuh’, especially mama, mama, he can no longer be as worried as he was, I just want to make them happy, the people I love, the problem of the three-dagger, the white and the green shawl team, I will think, I will think, I want to refresh my mind by relaxing here with the people I love.

“Mbak, Mas Ridho and Ma'am Ayu have been everywhere, but have not succeeded, Mama never revealed this in front of mbak Ayu, afraid he was offended, but Mama was afraid, Mama was afraid, afraid that Mas Ridho is kayaking Grandma.” Mama sleeps in my room, she talks about Ayu who is not pregnant yet.

“Ma they have just been married 4 years, love them time, ask for a lot of prayer, not mostly to shaman places, not good.”

“Mbak, medical already, alternative already, ustad, kiai, shaman already, your Mas kasian, he wants to have children once.”

“Ya means not yet loved Mah, it is not too thought of later mamah who is sick, if the pain continues mbak Ayu pregnant mamah has been exhausted for nimang grandson, dah ya do not think about it, I'll help doain deh.”

Mama just nodded, there were still worried strokes on her face, I hugged my mom and we both fell asleep at last.

...

“Assalamualaikum.” Someone said a greeting.

“Assalamualaikum” he repeated the greeting, where is this? I was sitting on a stone beside the river.

“Waalaikumsalam.” I turned to my right, there was sitting old grandfather wearing a typical royal dress, people call beskap, the shape is like a suit made of black velvet material, each stitch of the shirt is covered with a thread that looks gold with floral patterns, while for the bottom of this grandfather uses batik kebat cloth, on the head he wears a bendo, a head covering typical of Sundanese men.

“Berat is indeed becoming Ayi a guardian task, but Abah believes that Ayi is capable, one thing that Ayi must inget, Ayi must not believe anyone, Ayi must believe in Ayi's intuition, Ayi, Abah has entrusted Commander Erlangga and Raden Ammardharma, those who choose Ayi, those who watch Ayi from infancy, they will guide Ayi to help those in need, he said, if Ayi is in trouble and needs their help, call their name, it is the karuhun owner who is able to call them, be, Kha ngiiiiinngggggggg.”

The man who called himself Abah could not finish his words because my ears were ringing, again that word, the word spoken by the serpent of Satan and Abah, why was it blocked in my ears, those words I could not hear, Mr. Hanif must know what those words were, which should not be mentioned in front of me.

I woke up, the meeting with Abah on the edge of the river turned out to be just a dream, Abah called me Ayi, Ayi is a Sundanese daughter, abah is a grandfather in our family but no matter how many descendants, he said, since his typical royal clothing is definitely my great-grandfather, then who are Commander Erlangga and Raden Ammardharma?

...

“Bu, when is Mother Back?” Mita Reassonis called me, just three days why is she cold?

“ Why Mit?”

“Bu, mmm, I don't know if I need to convey this or not?”

“About work or gossip?”

“Gossip bu.”

“It takes me to know?” I almost exploded, it didn't matter to Mita.

“Need ma'am, Mr. Malik and the Secretary will be MARRIED!”

I fell silent, my phone fell, I cried, finally what I feared most happened. Malik I love you ....

Author's Note: I would like an infoin after this probably won't tell too many stories about the demons that are scary, because as the story progresses Seira's abilities are semi-high, so that meeting invisible beings is not a fear, there will be many battles ahead, about love about nature and about destiny. Hopefully someone will still read.
