Longing Memories

Disturbance to Hanif

Pov Author.

Hanif rushed to his car and headed straight for his grandfather's house in the village after getting word that Grandma Kemala had a heart attack. Sarah's family plans to go there after her papa comes home from the office.

"Hallo Assalamualaikum deck, are you on your way?" Hanif called Sarah while driving. There was a hint of panic in Hanif's countenance from hearing the news he had just received.

"......"

"Grandma's in the hospital having a heart attack, just got in the grandpa's phone."

"......."

"Mas doesn't know yet, but it's on the way home. Half the journey again. Later your papa mama will be followed after papa comes home from work."

"......"

"Yes, you be careful deck. When you get to the hospital, call you again. Assalamualaikum."

"...."

Hanif turned off the phone and put his phone in the next seat. He returned to the focus of driving, but suddenly there was a black cat carcass that was lying in the middle of the road, in an instant he tried to avoid the animal carcass by slightly directing the steering wheel to the right of the car which is the opposite direction from his current position.

Without him knowing it turns out in the opposite direction there is a minibus car that is traveling at high speed. Instantly he re-routed the steering wheel of his car to the proper path to avoid an accident.

Collisions can indeed be avoided, but he had to give up the rearview mirror of his car that was broken and lost due to being hit by the minibus car.

Hanif was a little surprised and then he pulled his car over to the side of the big road to calm himself down for a bit. When he stopped, he opened the lid of his drinking bottle and gulped it down with a few gulps to make his throat more relieved.

Hanif noticed the surroundings from inside the car. Currently it has entered in the afternoon more precisely at four in the afternoon, but the surrounding situation feels very quiet. No vehicles passed, but before the incident the road was in a fairly crowded condition because this is a large cross-country road.

Hanif became a little alert and paid more attention to the circumstances around. He finally understood where he was at the moment. After he observed, it turned out that he stopped by the road to a dense forest that was not known by the name of the forest. He felt alien to the existence of this forest because he felt he had never passed before.

Hanif was confused, he was on the side of the road where the traffic flow was quite crowded, but now why was he suddenly on the edge of a strange forest like this? Feeling that there was a gripping air, he hurriedly took his phone back and this time he tried to contact Bagas.

Tuuttt.tuuttt.

There was a connecting tone from Hanif's phone. However, until the connection tone ended Bagas had not also picked up the phone from him.

Hanif tried to contact Bagas again, but up to two attempts Bagas did not pick up his phone. Hanif became increasingly agitated with his current state. How not, all of a sudden he was stuck in an area that he had not known about before. In addition, the atmosphere outside the car is very quiet no human or vehicle passing.

Hanif tried again to contact Bagas, and finally this time Bagas picked up the phone from him.

"Hallo, Gas, crazy hard lo on the phone, help me Gas!" Hanif said with a hunting breath.

"Sorry, I was out of the house for a while, the phone forgot to bring. Lo why?"

"Gue's stuck, but I don't know which area. I am now on the edge of the forest." Hanif also explained the beginning of the incident ranging from the carcass of a black cat in the middle of the road, his car which was almost an accident to sacrifice his rearview mirror, until he was suddenly on the side of the road to a dense forest that he had never known before.

Hanif also explained about the condition of Grandma Kemala who suddenly had a heart attack so that Hanif decided to go home immediately after being notified by grandfather.

"Well, Nif, I think there's something that wants to block your way with Sarah who wants to solve the terror problem at your grandfather's house all this time."

"Who? So how do I go now?"

"So, I called him back on the street."

"Please watch him continue, I'm horrified Sarah is also in the same incar demon."

"OKay I understand. But what am I supposed to do now, Gas? Where the situation around really quiet again."

"Have you prayed yet?"

"Astaghfirullah hasn't, Gas, suddenly it's foggy now, how is this?"

"Judah gini aja, read Ayat Kursi three times out it lo dzikir as much as possible, calm your heart do not panic. Believe that there will be someone coming to help you. I'm here to help you through prayer."

"Yes, Gas, help me from there. Loh, there's a Gas chick behind the tree in front of my car. O Allah help your servant O Allah."

"Nif, you calm down you don't need to panic. Focus on praying now. I matainin his phone yes. Don't look around. Lo pray while rejuvenating and solemn."

The phone call is over. With a tremendous feeling of fear, Hanif immediately followed the advice of Bagas to offer a prayer in his heart and hope that someone passed by to save him.

But he could not ignore the existence of a woman who was behind a tree in front of him. With the appearance of long hair disheveled, very pale skin, bulging eyes and white eyeballs that turned as red as blood, as well as facial skin that slightly peels and bleeds. That of course made Hanif's mentality become silent instantly.

"Audzubillahiminashyitonirojim bismilbornrahmanirrahim." Hanif began to recite the prayer in his heart solemnly while closing his eyes.

After a long time he prayed, suddenly his car glass was knocked from the outside with a tight rhythm.

Dugdugdug.

Instantly Hanif opened his eyes and directly faced towards the glass.

"Astaghfirullah azim." On seeing him there was a grandfather who was peering at him from the outside of the glass.

The grandfather gestured for Hanif to lower the window of his car. However, Hanif hesitated to follow the orders of the grandfather. He did not want to risk following the orders of a stranger who might even harm him.

In the moment of turmoil enveloped his heart, suddenly the sound of a mobile phone rang a sign of a call coming in. He immediately picked up his phone and saw who was currently calling him. It turns out that the call came from Bagas.

Hanif immediately picked up the phone call while continuing to look at the grandfather.

"Hallo, Gas."

"Nif, you follow what the grandparents ordered. He's the one who's gonna help you get out of that area."

"Huh? How do you know that there are grandparents next to my car?"

"It's hard to explain, now you know what I said, you follow the grandfather's orders now."

"But I don't know these grandfathers Gas. What if the bad guy turns out?"

"Udah you believe in me. That grandpa's gonna let you out of the situation there."

Before long Bagas also turned off his phone unilaterally. Hanif was silent for a moment, but finally with a hint of fear he looked back at the old man while starting to lower his car glass.

"I'm allowed to ride in your car, son."
