METAPHYSICAL WAR
Tobias's House.
From noon to seven in the evening Tobi and Raduma talked about many things. At the same time they both took time to play table tennis briefly in front of the house of Mr. RT which is only five houses apart from Raduma's house.
Mr. RT's house is quite large, the yard is spacious and planted with Japanese grass, the tennis table is deliberately always stored by him in the yard so that children and young people are easy to use.
That night, as Tobi promised, Raduma left with Tobi for Tobi's house number seven near the highway at 20:00 p.m.
“Lock the door, beware no one forgets not locked, that edge is locked yet bro ? later on the entry, you are also the one who bothered,“ said Tobi pointed to the side door of the bicycle storage area.
“Already Tob, later stay gate, you go first aja.“
Beres locked the gate, both walking leisurely, jeans shorts and black turtle neck wear Raduma, mosquitoes roamed along the street after Raduma's leg skin and Tobi's hand wearing only a short-sleeved shirt.
A bunch of small children seemed to be praying after school in the mosque, every time they passed in front of the house Kindergarten (5 houses from Raduma's house to the right) which when the night looked dark and creepy, they often read sholawat together to drive away fear, once they have passed the Kindergarten house they immediately run as fast as they can while shouting to scare their closest colleagues.
“Liat, it's kids every time passing kind of kind of kind of kind of kind of thing," Raduma said with a chuckle.
“Emang creepy also the same thing TK, why not be given the cake lights."
Because the distance is not too far away, it does not feel the two reached Tobi's house, type 45, large enough indeed the house of Raduma's neighbors, if in thought only small.
Not even his right foot entered the gate of Tobi's house. Suddenly Raduma was startled for the third time, he saw an astral being who was beside Tobi's house with a fiery red-eye look watching him, as if distracted by his presence.
His body was like a large tall bear but strangely on his head was a horn, a short right one that was left long.
Highlight his eyes continued to stare sharply at Raduma as if he wanted to kill but could not.
“Wuih..” Raduma shuddered and shook his head a sign of feeling a little nauseous.
For the third time he saw the figure of an astral creature but Raduma's body and head nervous response began to be quite strong and accustomed although still a little nauseous.
A significant improvement because generally ordinary humans especially if a woman when the ability of her eyeballs is active and see astral beings with various shapes and creepy conditions will usually make her body weak and fainted.
“What's bro ?“ tanya Tobi after opening the gate.
“No, there is nothing," replied Raduma hiding what he saw worried Tobi was frightened because the location of the astral creature was indeed silent beside his house.
Both entered and were also greeted by Tobi's parents, Tobi was the third of three children. His father had died a long time ago while his mother was a math teacher at an elementary school in Bandung.
His two older brothers are married and live in different cities, one lives in Jakarta another one lives in Bekasi only Tobi who lives in Bandung accompanied his mother who was 53 years old.
“Bu, Raduma tonight is staying here, he said at home alone rather scared," Tobi told his mother in the guest room. "The coward she is, Mom."
“Oh yes nothing, just here first Kang Raduma," said Tobi's mother named Lya.
“Haturnuhun Ma'am, I am so ngerepotin."
“Ah not, here is also quiet just the same mother Tobi, many rooms are empty, Tobi buy food for Raduma mumpung Mas Samsul is still selling, but,“ Lya replied while telling Tobi to buy Samsul mas fried noodles.
“Siap Bu, bro you just go straight to the upper room."
“Yes, Tob."
While Tobi is out of the house, Raduma climbs into the upper room. Laptops, manga comics and some sketch drawings that have not been scanned are strewn about. Tobi is a fan of Japanese comics, he also works as an illustrator at a company located in the city of Bandung.
In Tobi's room, he turns on the television and one of the channels presents an international magic show. In the middle of the performance of one of the participants of the magic show competition, Raduma again saw something unusual.
“This crazy person, aided astral beings just for such an event." Hardik Raduma saw an astral creature with a beautiful woman in a dress that used to be typical of eastern Europeans, his face was almost invisible covered with hair, on his neck there was a circular energy binding strong, strong, the figure of the woman helped the participant who was carrying out his stage action.
One thing that makes him wonder is the energy that comes out of the hands of participants who are yellow, arising from the desire from within Raduma to be able to do it.
“How does he do it ?“
On the other hand he is getting used to his eyeballs, as if finding a new toy, Raduma began to be creative and think creatively in using his metaphysical abilities.
Without Raduma realizing it, the energy in his body actually continued to increase little by little, like a water hole that had been closed and then reopened, it was seen from Raduma's body shape that forms the ideal even though Raduma often do physical exercise but the formation of muscle in Raduma's body is different from the results of ordinary physical exercise or even the results of fitness. He also feels very excellent as well as his eye acuity and vision are increasing.
While waiting for Tobias who is still waiting in line at the Mas Samsul store. Raduma frenziedly imagined and concentrated his hands to release energy, taking only fifteen minutes of bright blue energy out of the pores of his right palm like a tiny and bright speck of dust.
“Mie fry come bro," said Tobi as he kicked the door to startle Raduma.
Sontak Raduma turned to Tobi who lined a black crackle filled with fried noodles for fifteen thousand rupiah, the aroma of onions, and the smell of onions, seasonings and slices of cooked chicken slipped between the nose hairs starving anyone who inhaled them.
“Your habits, the door can be damaged if kicked mulu,“ saut Raduma.
While the energy gathered in his palm faded away.
“Haha let without the door is also not an important problem not to live without him.“ Tobi's claw is close to a woman. “Mamam bro, before you try again mengimpleng later."
Fried noodles with chilli two seeds that they eat greedily. Sometimes Raduma remembered the Grandma, just one week ago he ate fried noodles mas Samsul with his grandmother on the porch of the house but now he was gone. There is an impression of disbelief, all this can happen.
After eating, drinking and cleaning the room both walked towards the balcony.
“Bro, the cave has an idea, curious, try to see the houses, which ones are there astral beings ?" tobi said as he walked towards the balcony of the house and pointed to the complex view at night. Because the house is three levels, all the surrounding houses can be seen up to the end of RT.
“Ane just breath first.“
“That's it ? What happened to Pak Satia's house?“ Tanya Tobi was curious while pointing at the house in question.
Talking about mystical things at night is exciting for some people, including Tobias.
“If you could see his astral beings like he wouldn't be strong Tob."
“Emang shape kayak how ?"
“On the roof there is a bat but the size is large. His two legs are clutching the roof, his face is dog but his body is bat, fierce," Raduma said as he sat on a chair.
“Serem Rad, according to you it's a shipment or a pet Mr Satia ? He's a businessman.“ Tobi who was quite carefree immediately put on a serious face.
“I think it's Tob's pet, for-"
Not even Raduma finished speaking, he looked surprised and almost fell out of the chair.
“What's Rad ?“ Tobi's worried.
“Again, suddenly there was an attack from another astral being. Shocked because he did not know that the creature was suddenly in front of the bat. Directly firing some kind of cannonball."
“Wiiih, how do you keep ?"
“Ya..spontanlah brushed with one wing by Mr. Satia's pet."
“Means you are in case of his business rival yes Rad ?“
“Iya, but still, allied with the creature of the jinn mah violate Tob religious law, not allowed, idolatry.“
“Ho'oh too anyway,“ close Tobi.
Because of fear of Raduma's explanation, Tobi invited him to go back into the room especially when the time had shown at 21:34. Tobi also resumed his work that broke from earlier this afternoon, his right hand agilely moving on the tracer board. A special electronic board for drawing on the computer, he also occasionally replies to incoming messages from his girlfriend named Siska.
The 25-year-old woman from north Bandung, one office with Tobi, was in a relationship more than just friends a year ago. Her stature is high, contained, so it leaves a sexy impression, but her father actually disapproves of her daughter's relationship with Tobi, whenever Tobi visits Siska's house, often he received the words ketus and unfriendly face of Siska's father, not without reason, siska's father was the one who had fallen in love with Tobi's mother in the past but both Tobi and Siska didn't know about it in the least, similarly, Lya as the mother of Tobi does not know that Siska is the son of someone who had liked him decades ago, only Siska's father who realized that Tobi is the son of Lya.
At 11:39, Raduma had not fallen asleep while Tobi was asleep near his laptop, he had intended to ask Raduma to look at Siska, what is he doing now and tracking him whether he has a relationship with another man or not ? but he forgot because it was not by the remnants of his own work.
Five minutes later, Tobi's mother screamed in pain in the lower room near the living room, but Raduma was shocked and immediately woke Tobi up.
“Tob, wake up... wake up Tob,“ said Raduma shaking Tobi's body violently.
“What's up ? What's up ?“ reply Tobi got up quickly half-literate.
“Your mother yells, let's see."
“Hah, who really is ? Come on down," invite Tobi to quickly jump from the top of the mattress for Raduma.
Two stairs passed and he found Lya was groaning in pain in her stomach. Glasses appeared to break on the floor, two packs of bread and stomach acid medicine were seen next to Lya.
“What's Ma'am ? Stomach relapse again?“ asked Tobi with an anxious face.
“Iya, you are very sick," replied his mother withstood the pain.
While Raduma tried to bring her warm drinking water, as was the case when her ulcer relapsed, it could at least ease her pain.
“Drink first Mom,“ says Raduma.
“Can't go in, drink can't, eat also can't, at least,“ Lya replied.
“Yes, nothing ma'am, just meat, because if not given food intake, the danger. mother should be infused."
Tobi, who saw his mother lying limp, tried to feed her with the porridge she had made 45 minutes ago. Almost an hour later they were in Lya's mother's room, but soon Raduma began to suspect the illness suffered by Tobi's mother.
After asking Tobi and listening to Tobi's explanation that his mother had taken him to the doctor but the doctor said no disease could be found in his mother's stomach, finally the doctor only gave drugs to normalize stomach acid.
“There is a strange, perhaps this is not a medical illness," Raduma whispered in his heart.
His two sharp eyes stared at Lya's mother's stomach, just a meter between her and Tobi's mother. Suddenly he felt the energy enveloping his entire body the sensation was like being beside a bonfire.
Slowly unexpectedly he could see the shape of Lya's mother's stomach, although initially vague but did not take long the picture became clearer.
Like X-rays in the world of medicine, spleen, liver and stomach he can see, Raduma was initially surprised to be so far but in the end he was quite happy because it turns out the ability of his eyeballs are useful as well.
The longer he looked at the end he saw a figure invisible to Tobi and his mother, his form like a horn beetle, fanged, as big as a jackfruit seed stuck in the stomach area of Lya's mother, right inside.
Don't want Tobi's mother to feel more frightened if Raduma explains the actual disease he saw. Raduma chose to keep it to herself for a while.
The next day, when the kentongan was hit hard enough by the Fathers who did the activity of the morning patrol schedule, at the Raduma complex night guard activities or commonly called patrols are still preserved, indeed, unlike in other places that have used security guards or hansip. In place patrol is considered more useful and able to strengthen relations between citizens, so that residents can get to know each other when gathering at patrol posts.
At dawn Raduma said goodbye to return home and prepare all his needs for work that morning.
The eastern temperature of Bandung at that time felt colder than usual. The story has a story based on the news that he heard from one of the television channels after bathing and frying rice mixed with duck eggs. The temperature of the city of Bandung and all areas on the island of Java increased due to the monsoon winds coming from the direction of Australia.
That morning Raduma returned to his usual activities, crammed in a domestic bus with his annoying AC, heard the spicy babble of the car wash team leader, struggling with foam and kanebo all day.
