Chapter 3

The next day Dad and Tirta decided to go together to Linda's residence, his friend Tirta. They wanted to ask them something they wanted to know about Linda's father, Mr. Rahman. Immediately they rushed to Linda's house, within 15 minutes they had arrived. Indeed Linda's house with Tirta's house is not so far away. Only different Rukun Warnya course but still one subdistrict.

"Good day Linda, Linda, has Linda not woken up yet?" tirta said because he had called almost 3 times.

With an earthy face his father tried to change his greetings.

"Excuse me good afternoon, assalamualaikum.is there anyone in the house?" tirta's father said, knocking on the door. But no one answered yet.

Only 5 minutes later there was a voice from inside the house that answered their greetings.

"Waalaikumsalam, briefly" said the person inside the house.

"Ahh, finally there are also those who answer our greetings. Looks like we were too slow to say his greetings" said Tirta's father who was answered by Tirta with a nod.

The one who answered their greeting was Linda. After Linda found out that the ones who came were Tirta and her father. Linda immediately knew the purpose of their arrival, and Linda immediately invited Tirta and her father to sit down and Linda went to the back to meet her father and mother Linda who were taking care of the plants.

"Gee.. Linda is a good and polite child" muttered Tirta's father while taking a seat in the guest chair, then followed by Tirta from behind.

While behind her house Linda looks like her father and mother are busy caring for their favorite plants, namely green dispensary plants. Indeed, Linda family is famous as the family that cares the most about health, especially Linda's father works as a healer in this village. His father Linda is not only able to treat pain caused by medical, but also able to treat pain caused by non-medical with the permission of God.

"Dad, Mommy. There are guests in the front room" Linda said.

"Who's visiting? It seems like today I have no appointments with patients?" ask Dad.

"That's Dad, Mother. The friend I told my father and mother last night. Still dong" replied Linda.

"Oh yes Father inget. Well then I want to meet them first yes Mother" said Mr. Rahman her father Linda while putting a tool used to cut leaves. Then Linda's mother followed from behind along with Linda.

"Eh sir Andi how are you?" said Mr. Rahman while thrusting his hands to shake hands. Apparently Mr. Rahman has known Pak Andi his father Tirta for a long time. Indeed, his father Tirta is a former village officer who finally filed for early retirement because he wanted to focus on undergoing the business he started with his wife.

"At this time we are not doing well Mr. Rahman" replied his father Tirta in a lethargic voice.

"Yes, my son Linda told us last night about the disaster that befell Mr. Andi's son named Nana" said Mr. Rahman.

"I am very sorry and at the same time apologise to the father, because my son was also involved as a witness in the incident." continued Mr. Rahman.

"If based on what Linda told me. It is likely that your daughter is lost in a supernatural way. Or more precisely he was kidnapped by supernatural creatures waiting for the lake setu cikaret" said Mr. Rahman.

Hearing the words of Mr. Rahman, Tirta's father was shocked. How is it possible in this modern era there are still stories about humans who were kidnapped by supernatural beings. But sometimes the occult can actually happen.

"Was there any way I could save my daughter sir?" ask mr. andi.

"There is actually a sir. But it was very difficult because the time was just a little. You should be able to use time as efficiently as possible" replied rahman.

"What does her father mean Linda?" suddenly Tirta ventured to ask out of curiosity.

"Sir, what did you mean by that word?" Andi also asked.

"For you must be able to find and save him before 7 days. If it has been more than 7 days, then you will never be able to save Nana again!" rahman pak panjang.

"Why is it only 7 days sir, so great is this cow genie?" ask mr. andi.

"Hmmm actually not so Mr. Andi. Know that when the jinn and their ilk enter the human world, they use their full power to touch and capture humans. But from that power they have opened this portal connecting the supernatural with our nature, and the portal is still open for 7 days. And you will use the portal to enter into the supernatural" said Mr. Rahman.

"So during the time before 7 days that you should use to find the need to perform the ritual of finding the portal of two realms used by the jinn of Lembu" continued Pak Rahman explained.

"Oh then that's an easy thing. My father went in and saved Nana. Isn't that right, dad?" tirta said confidently.

While the father did not respond to the words spoken by Tirta, instead the father asked whether there were consequences or maybe other conditions to be able to enter the occult portal to pak rahman.

"Yes, you must prepare yourself by carrying out the ritual and some heirloom objects that you must get" said Mr. Rahman as he walked towards the door.

"Is there anything you haven't said Rahman?" asked Mr. Andi was curious because Mr. Rahman was silent for a few seconds.

Then Mr. Rahman again explained the consequences that must be faced by Pak Andi and Tirta if they want to save Nana.

"Not only that, if you've made it into the supernatural dimension. You need to find Nana and bring her back to the world. Because if you are late from those 7 days, then you will also be trapped in the supernatural and maybe you will become slaves of the jinn. Or worse you will be a meal that will increase their strength" said Mr. Rahman with a firm tone.

Hearing the words of Mr. Rahman made Mr. Andi, Tirta and even Linda herself feel afraid. Is it possible that Tirta and her father could perform the ritual and conditions and then save Nana?

In the middle of the atmosphere that became quiet and then her mother Linda broke the atmosphere.

"If the children are disturbed by the jin Lembu, it means that the children have done natural damage that makes the jin Lembu angry" said Linda's mother.

While looking down, Tirta confessed to everyone that he and the other children had thrown a cat into the lake like a cigarette because the cat hurt Tirta and the others. But luckily the cat was able to swim to the edge of the lake and survived.

"It seems that's the cause. Even though the cat survived, your behavior still cannot be forgiven by those who are invisible!" said Linda's mother. While Tirta could only cry regretting his actions.
