OXEN

Chapters 10

A father who was feeling very tense couldn't do much. In his mind now terbesit whether Mr. Rahman really wants to end his own life because of the stress of remembering his very dark past.

Mr. Rahman then brought the knife to his own mouth. Suddenly the whole house shouted for fear of Mr. Rahman doing nothing.

Now Mr. Rahman licked the sharp part of the knife, then he suddenly scratched the sharp knife into his own palm.

"Shreeett!" the sound of a knife slicing Mr. Rahman's hand as if it sounded so clear by the whole house.

"Sir Rahman what are you doing, you don't be rash. The law is to kill yourself!" father said remind Mr. Rahman of the magnitude of the sin if committing suicide.

But Mr. Rahman just laughed evilly, "Hahahaahha.. Mr. Andi, I'm not suicidal! I just want to make sure that this blade is still very sharp, because I will use this blade to exterminate the Ox phantom!" said Mr. Rahman.

"What is Mr Rahman?" ask dad.

"Yes, allow me to help you fight the ghost of the Ox. Because even though your daughter can be saved, but if the ghost of the Ox is still there, it is certain that there will be another child next who will be kidnapped by the ghost of the Ox whenever he wants!"-

"Therefore, the only way to stop him is to destroy the Ox's ghost!" mr. Rahman said, full of revenge.

Mr. Andi, who had been feeling scared, now began to feel calm when he knew that Mr. Rahman did not intend to commit suicide. Precisely Mr. Rahman wants to help Pak Andi to help Nana while defeating the ghost of Lembu. But can humans destroy supernatural beings? That question is what is now stuck in the mind of his father Tirta.

"Tomorrow at night, you come back here! We'll both take the snake's mustika!" mr Rahman's orders.

Mr. Andi just nodded and obeyed Mr. Rahman's words. After all he, his wife and son were tired and needed rest to restore his stamina to fight back tomorrow night.

######

The day has changed. In broad daylight, Father, Mamah and Tirta, the three are thinking about the words of Mr. Rahman last night. They are actually very scared and very unprepared if they have to lose one of them. It is in Dad's mind whether he should take away Nana who has disappeared, or go back to save Nana but sacrifice the person he loves. He thought about it repeatedly made my father stressed. But he always believed there must be a way to save Nana without having to sacrifice others.

"Now it's up to you, if you want to continue then let's continue, but Mr. Rahman said there will be consequences that we have to accept!" say Father.

Tirta, who did not want to lose the people she loved, was unable to say anything. He could only be silent and follow the decision of his parents.

"I want to continue! Whatever the consequences, I will continue even if I have to risk my life!" said Mamah.

Mama is the most noble of God's creatures. In order to save his son, he was even willing to sacrifice his own life.

"Then after Maghrib we return to Mr. Rahman's house! Now I'm looking for guidance by praying to God in the mosque!" said Father who then went to the room to change clothes with cocoa clothes.

Shortly thereafter the dzuhur adhan was proclaimed. Father performing dzuhu prayers congregate in the mosque. After performing congregational prayers he did not immediately go home. He sat down before the pulpit and prayed fervently to God, asking that he be guided. He remained convinced that the only thing that could turn on and off every creature was God. As powerful as the jinn and ghosts are, there is nothing compared to almighty power.

He continued to pray and ask God until his tears poured down the mosque. He hopes that God will grant his wish to be reunited with his beloved family.

"Well, I am sure you will grant all my requests. But I am sincere if indeed the destiny that you wrote for me is not what I want. For you must know better what is best for your servant" said the father in his prayer.

"Kriiiiiiiiiiiiying!" dad's phone rang.

Apparently it was a call from Mr. Rahman. Soon he received the call, but apparently the one who called was not Mr. Rahman, but Maya's mother was his wife Mr. Rahman.

"Halo Assalamualaikum Pak Andi! Sorry sir, did my husband come to my father's house? When I went home shopping, I didn't see my husband at home. My son Linda also said he did not know where his father was, I think must be in touch with Mr. Andi's house!" said Maya Ma.

"Oh sorry Miss Maya, I don't know that either. I am still in the mosque. Later if I see my house there is Mr. Rahman, I will tell Mom!" say Father.

Then the phone ended with Bu Maya saying thank you and sorry for inconveniencing Mr. Andi.

Then he arrived home, but he did not see Mr. Rahman in his house. He asked Mamah and Tirta. They also said that no one today visited the house. Then I called Maya back.

"Assalamualaikum Bu Maya's. Sorry ma'am, I just want to say that Mr. Rahman did not visit my house. Maybe Mr. Rahman is having some business with someone else!" say Father.

Indeed Mr. Rahman is already famous as a fairly powerful psychic. Many people came and asked him for help. So maybe Mr. Rahman is seeing a patient outside.

"Oh yasudah then. Again, I'm sorry to be a hassle. Thank you very much Mr. Andi for letting me know. Oh, it will run out Maghrib Pak Andi and the family want to come here again, right? If my husband doesn't come home, it's okay to wait until my husband comes home!" said Maya Ma.

"Oh yes ma'am good then. Sorry ma'am if we're so much trouble Maya and Mr Rahman!" reply Mr. Andi, Then the conversation is over.

It did not feel the time was 6 pm, adzan maghrib had reverberated. As usual, the father prayed in the mosque, then prayed and returned home to get ready for the rescue mission.

Mamah and Tirta are neat and ready to be born and inner. The three of them had now both solidified their determination to continue this mission. They continued their journey to Mr. Rahman's house.

Arriving at Mr. Rahman's house, they are required to wait for a moment because Mr. Rahman has not returned home. Actually, Mr. Rahman no one knows when it went, and until now there was no news of him. His phone was left at home anyway. It's not usually like this.

"It's not unusual for my husband to be like this, sir. He usually stays away if he wants to go. Even if it's an impromptu, he must have brought his cell phone to let us know!" said Maya Ma.

"It's okay ma'am, we'll keep waiting for Mr. Rahman until he gets home. We need instructions from him anyway!" say Father.

Then an interval of 30 minutes suddenly the weather becomes drizzle. In the middle of the drizzle that made the air cool, it was seen that Mr. Rahman was walking home. Because of the drizzle he sped up his steps so as not to get soaked.

"Astaghfirulloh, I'm sorry Mr. Andi. I have a patient out of town, so I can go home now. I also forgot to bring my phone!" said Mr. Rahman.

"It's okay Mr. Rahman. I also often like that if in a hurry," said the father and shook hands with Mr. Rahman.

When father shook hands with Mr. Rahman, it was seen that Mr. Rahman's hands were full of scratches like scratches and there were even wounds similar to bite wounds. Near his elbow it looks like there is a burn. Seeing that, there was curiosity in my father's head. What caused Pak Rahman's hand to become full of claw wounds, bites and burns?
