Chapter 18's
The next day, Father, Mamah and Tirta were preparing everything they needed to perform the ritual of opening the magical door portal. Dad opened the spell book given by Mr. Rahman, he memorized the magic door opening spell. He also memorizes all the procedures that must be done during the ritual. While Mamah and Tirta were also asked to prepare the tools they had to carry to survive when later they were in the supernatural dimension.
Mamah who is still worried about the condition of Mother Maya, continues to think about the speech that always comes out of the thick lips of Bu Maya. Curiosity still lingered in his mind. Why does Bu Maya keep saying that her husband is cruel? Not to his knowledge, Mr. Rahman is a kind husband and never looks angry. In fact, the look on his face did not look like a man of temperament.
Mr. Rahman is indeed a paranormal profession and his greatness has been famous in various regions. Is it possible that Mr. Rahman used to do the enchanting pellets to get the heart of Bu Maya, then because now Mr. Rahman is dead caused by the Queen of Snake Demon, and now Mister Rahman is dead, now that the pellet is gone and Miss Maya becomes lost her love? However, it is rare that the science of pellets will make the affected pellets go crazy if the sender is dead.
"Are you sure Mr Rahman is still alive? But that's impossible?-
"If Mr. Rahman was alive, he would have met us yesterday!" mumbling Mamah inside her.
Father who realized that his wife was daydreaming then rebuked mamah, until Mamah's daydreams became extinct.
"You're okay, aren't you, Maryam? I watched you from then on daydreaming?", then approached Mamah, "What are you thinking?" ask Dad.
"No, Mom! I didn't think of anything!"-
"I'm just thinking about Nana, I can't wait to see her. If we manage to get him back home, I'll make him his favorite donut ring!" said Mamah who did not want her husband to know that he was still thinking about the fate of Bu Maya.
Dad smiled wryly too. It seems he found out that his wife was not being completely honest about her feelings. However, Dad is not the type of husband who will force his wife to be honest. Instead Father will remain patient waiting until his own wife who will tell all the grunts in his heart.
The father who understands that Mamah is thinking about something then embraces Mamah affectionately. The kiss of Mamah's forehead was slightly wrinkled. Mamah's eyes were round and sparkling. He felt very lucky to have been destined by God to mate with Father, a husband who really understood him the most. Mamah's lips opened and said, "Thank you, Mom! You can always make my heart calm and peaceful, I'm lucky to be your wife!" mamah said as she hugged my father spoiled, her embrace so tight that I felt difficulty breathing.
"Thank you for your praise dear Maryam, but please loosen your arms a little, I find it hard to breathe!" exclaim Dad.
The two laughed happily together. Tirta who accidentally saw a romantic moment from both parents also smiled happily because both parents remained strong and still strengthen each other, despite being hit by a disaster. Tirta feels very lucky to have been born from a couple who get along and understand each other.
"Mas, I somehow feel a bad feeling. Looks like the disaster that befell Bu Maya has something to do with our mission to help Nana!" said Mamah.
"When someone is in a disaster, feeling a bad premonition is normal, Maryam!-
"But know, we can certainly get through this all because of the power of our great love for our children!" reply Daddy who wants to calm Mama's feelings.
"Then we must accept it with grace, because it is pure destiny that has been determined by God!" answer Father.
Hearing the words of wisdom spoken from her beloved husband, Mamah tried to calm herself to not think too negatively. He again tried to think clearly and not too concerned about the disaster that befell Bu Maya with their efforts in helping their beloved daughter named Nana.
"I'm willing to come out for a while, maybe I'll be home later this afternoon!" say Father.
Mamah who was curious because Dad wanted to go and said that he would come home in the afternoon.
"What are you going out for, Mom?" ask Mamah.
The father, who realized that his wife felt something strange about him, made a reasonable excuse, "I will go to the Mosque to worship and ask for guidance and strength from God. However, when we are in trouble we can only ask for help from the Almighty not!" Answer Father.
Mamah also scrunched her forehead, "Oh I think you have an outside interest to the point that you leave now and will only come home later in the afternoon!" said Mamah.
Then not long after, I heard the voice of adzan dzuhur. Dad rushed out of the house to perform congregational prayers at the mosque. Tirta also wanted to pray at the mosque, but Dad forbade him to go to the mosque under the pretext that Mamah should have someone accompany him.
"Daddy wait a minute, Wassalamualaikum!" say Father.
"Goddessaam!" mamah and Tirta answered together.

While in the supernatural dimension, Mr. Rahman was close to the place where Nana was in the land of the tuyul. Mr. Rahman disguised himself by dressing like a ghost in charge of maintaining the balance of the supernatural with the human nature. He wore a black cloak and carried a kind of klewang weapon that was about one meter and thirty centimeters long. He also cast a spell and suddenly came the dreadful and terrible Demon Tiger. The color of his skin and fur was black, his eyeballs were blood red, his canine teeth were long until they touched the ground, and the Tiger was about three meters tall. Mr. Rahman made the Demon Tiger as his mount to the haunted house of Kolong Wewe which is in a big tree in the middle of the country of the tuyul.
The tiger ran so fast that it only took a moment, Mr. Rahman was already in the land of the tuyul. With lightning speed, the Demon Tiger that was the mount of Pak Rahman was now close to the House of Kolong Wewe. He did not care about the tuyul ghost who was busy playing near the big tree. Many tuyul ghosts who died because they were oppressed by the Demon Tiger that became the vehicle of Mr. Rahman. The country of the tuyul in the supernatural was now turned into a dark country. His clear sky had suddenly now turned a dead red.
The Tuyul who usually look always cheerful now turned into a coward. They were scared when they saw the Demon Tiger that ran and destroyed anything it passed.
"Rrrroooooaaaaaarrrrrr!" the voice of the Demon Tiger roars and ravages the land of the Tuyuls.
