Eva walks alone from her room her jet-black long hair covered by her beautiful face veil is not eroded despite wearing simple clothes.


"iya kai" she replied


"sit cu" said kai Burhan kindly


Eva sat in the chair beside Kai Burhan right opposite Iksan, her gaze could not be separated from Eva her smile did not fade even though Eva did not respond to him.


"Please tell the story" said Kai Burhan


Eva looked at Iksan her face seriously


"So you met that grandpa this afternoon ? ask Eva


"grandfather ?old man with a stick


the wood? " ask Iksan to make sure


"yes" was answered also with a nod by Eva


"why? " Iksan looks confused


"What did he say ?"


Iksan seemed to think maybe remembering what grandfather said earlier.


"if not wrong, the beautiful woman is dear if owned by others "


"if he comes again don't mind" said Eva firmly


"why ?"


"he's a genie who sneers at my grandfather"


"where do you know ?"


"anyways if he comes again do not hear his words" Eva said


"Alright" replied Iksan resignedly


"Hanif" now Eva moved to look at Hanif who had been listening


"yes "


"the room at night you saw kai Burhan, right? "


"i-iiya" Hanif replied nervously


"don't be so nervous what are you seeing, then what did the old man say ?"


"just like Iksan" Hanif said for sure


"he'll come tonight to your house again I'm sure of that"


"then what should I do"


"ignore whatever he says, remember he's just a genie not my real grandfather"


"then where is your grandfather "asked Iksan curiously

Flashbacks


Eva pov's


"Assalamualaikum" said I who had just entered the house


"waalaikumsallam" replied the mother who came out of the room


"where are you going ?"askaku see mama carrying a bag of clothes


"mama wants to go home to Kalimantan, kai died, you are the same father at home yes "soraya said


"Eva come with ma" my whine


"don't kid, mama doesn't know for sure where kai's body was last night when she came here saying goodbye "


"meaning mama? " ask me


mama looked at me clingy arms reaching for my cheeks caressing her softly.


"Last night you forgot what happened ?"


"Eva why ma? " many wonder


"here son, "mama invited me to sit in the guest room."last night you saw me standing in the house, mama approached ,You don't look like you your face is pale and your eyeballs are just black all you smile at your mama


speaking but not like your voice"


"what Eva said ma "ask me curious


mom continued her story


"dulah's descendants I am your loyal followers, your great-grandfathers have contributed to me, then I will take care of your descendants, then before long your eyes turn all white and say the same mama, mama, soraya forgive me for praying to be lightened torment, you leave, then your eyes change as usual but the gaze is empty and you walk back to the room"


mama told me about my behavior last night.


"then why did mama conclude that kai died could have been a genie who possessed Eva ma" I asked


"according to your first one, then, our ancestors did have guardians and pets of jinn but not forwarded by your nini and his brother because the teachings of Islam have entered the village and all your nine brothers are graduates of pasantren,only your kai would even learn it and inherit all the pets and guards from your datu datu"


"so you mean the genies and guards are coming with us now ?" tanyku doesn't believe


"the book comes with them because if you die no one inherits his knowledge, for the faithful he will come with us for those who do not he will look for other employers" explained mama


"then Mama's coming home ?"


"mama has to go home son, if kai is dead we have to bury him properly"


"But Eva has to come with me"


"but we're going to school"


"no ma, Eva has to come"


"Well change your clothes quickly, soon I'll be there"
