Chapter 25's

Adhan maghrib has been proclaimed, day has changed with night. Father, Mamah and Tirta approached the raft boat on the lake. The father first boarded a raft boat, then after that alternated with Mamah and Tirta on a raft boat. Now the three of them were on a raft boat. The father who was in command, held the oars and was in charge of rowing the raft boat heading towards the middle of the lake. Whether coincidentally or not, as the raft boat they boarded made their way to the middle of the lake, many lake fishes were leaping from the lake water as if giving a code. But they did not care about it, Dad continued to paddle a raft boat until it reached right in the middle of the lake setu cikaret.

When they reached the middle of the lake, Father, Mamah and Tirta opened their bags.

"Sreeeeett"

They unzipped each bag. Father pulled out a paranormal book from his bag, while Mamah took out offerings of chicken blood, seven-figure flowers and rose water. Tirta took out the magical tools that they had previously obtained with great difficulty, namely, the magical black orchid, a piece of hair under wewe and the snake queen mustika.

Then Dad took out 6 candles, he lit the wicks one by one. Dad arranged the candle around the raft boat. Mamah mix offerings with rose water and then placed in front of the father who has been sitting preceptively on the edge of the raft boat. He also gave the blood of cemani chicken already in a clay bowl to Dad, then the father splashed the blood to the surface of the lake water while reading a spell.

"Shika nawangsa, javunta caksa ashoka"

"The water of the land of fire of air, all united in darkness"

"O darkness, suck all light into your darkness and take us into your darkness"

Then Dad told Tirta to drown the black orchid, the hair of the wewe and the mustika queen snake into the rose water that had been mixed by the seven-figure flower. After that Dad poured chicken cemani blood into the rose water, suddenly the rose water boiled and let out a thick enough smoke. Then Dad opened the paranormal book and he opened the next page. After he read it then he took the heirloom Ijang given Pak Rahman from the bag, then he scratched the heirloom into his palm. Fresh blood dripped from Father's hand, and then drops of blood he dropped into the boiling rose water and let out smoke. After that, I said a word.

"Open the doors of the supernatural, open at my command!"

The rose water was boiling, the thick smoke was now gone. Slowly the light appeared from within the rose water, the longer the light got bigger. The light was Purple in color, it looked like it formed a large circle that was larger than the size of a raft boat. Apparently the purple light now forms a portal, a portal connecting the human dimension with the spirit dimension. Now the portal to the spirit dimension was right in front of the three of them. Tirta felt fear, but she tried to fight the fear in her chest.

"According to the paranormal book given by Mr. Rahman, before us now is a portal to the supernatural realm! We're gonna go in there and we're gonna find Nana!" father said, while Mamah and Tirta were only stunned to see something beyond human reason now in front of them.

"Remember always, we must continue together and not be separated when we are in the spirit realm. We'd rather die together than be safe but alone!" continue to talk.

Father extended his hands so that Mamah and Tirta would hold his hands. Then Mamah and Tirta held Father's hand. They stepped into the portal of the supernatural realm in a state of hand-in-hand. Their determination was already strong, it was better to die together than to survive alone.

Meanwhile, Maya and Doctor Arman are on their way to the lake. They intend to catch up with Pak Andi and his family, they both want to save Pak Andi's family from a trap set by Mr. Rahman's husband Bu Maya himself. Unusual - usually Doctor Arman driving a car at high speed, it turns out that Doctor Arman is also good at driving a car at high speed.

Shortly thereafter, Dr. Arman and Ms. Maya have now reached the lake area. Doctor Arman parked his car on the edge of the lake, then they got out and continued the search on foot. After getting near the bamboo garden on the edge of the lake, they saw that there was a raft boat in the middle of the lake and they also saw that there was a purple halo near the raft boat.

"Its Amazing, it's amazing! It turns out that the door to the supernatural is indeed true! Then that means they must have entered the spirit realm by now!" said Dr. Arman.

"That's right, we have to get in there before it's too late! However, no more boats can take us to the middle of the lake approaching the portal!" said Maya ma'am.

Maya tried to look around the lake slowly, then finally she found a small raft boat made by fishmongers in the lake setu cikaret. Bu Maya and Doctor Arman use the small boat to go to the middle of the lake and approach the portal of the supernatural realm. Then the two of them both boarded the small boat, and they managed to reach the spirit realm portal opened by Pak Andi and his family.

When they were right in front of the portal of the supernatural realm, they were stunned and amazed to see the portal of the supernatural realm that some people thought was just superstition. Dr. Arman pulled the phone out of his pants pocket, and he captured the portal by photographing it using his cell phone camera. Bu Maya who saw Doctor Arman photograph the portal then looked at the Doctor with a strange look.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Come on, I just want to capture it for research purposes!" doctor Arman said, Maya just fell silent and let out a long sigh.

"They definitely managed to open this portal because they learned from my husband! I didn't expect that they turned out to be talented in paranormal science!" said Maya ma'am amazed.

"Indeed, sometimes a person can master paranormal science in a short time, but there are also those that take longer! It all depends on the blood genes flowing within them!" doctor Arman Long.

"Have you gotten that far, Doctor! To the point of matching genes with mystical powers?" said Bu Maya.

"I told you, no, that I've been researching the Illuminati for almost 10 years. During that time of research, a lot of knowledge about the occult I discovered!" doctor Arman.

After that the two finally decided to jointly enter the portal of the supernatural realm. At first nothing happened, but when their hands touched the portal layer suddenly their bodies seemed to be attracted by the extremely strong gravity. Mom Maya and Doctor Arman are sucked into the portal.

As they were sucked in by the portal, they lost consciousness. Then a few minutes later Bu Maya woke up in a dark area and like tall trees around it. He tried to look to the right and left trying to find the figure of Doctor Arman who entered the portal with him, but he did not find the figure of Doctor Arman. Apparently when entering the portal of the supernatural realm, when they have entered the supernatural dimension then they will be separated from each other. Mom Maya is now separated from Doctor Arman. Ms. Maya tried to walk east hoping to find Doctor Arman, or if she was lucky she could see Mr. Andi's family.

Elsewhere that looks dark and many large trees, Doctor Arman has regained consciousness. He was stuck on top of a large tree, the shape of the tree was like a dragon blood tree growing on the island of Sokotra. He looked to the right and left and je down, he looked for the figure of Bu Maya. However, he did not find any figure of Bu Maya in the area where he was stuck.

"Hm.. Why am I separated from Maya? Is this really the law of the supernatural?" doctor Arman's Germ in the Heart.

"Rather than me bafflingly searching for her, I better get down from this strange tree and walk down this mysterious forest! It's possible that Maya's not far from here!" Doctor Arman tried to get down from the tree.

"Tolooooong! Toloooooong!"

There was a scream of a woman asking for help. Hearing the voice, Doctor Arman immediately rushed down from the strange tree. He tried to find the source of the sound, apparently the source of the sound was heard coming from the south. Dr. Arman immediately ran as fast as he could to the south. Until the moment he reached the source of the sound, he was surprised by a figure that made him surprised.
