Among the people of Chinese descent there are rituals or customs calling children who have died before adulthood or puberty, also children who died while still in the womb or miscarriage and children who died at birth.
This ritual is to maintain or maintain the spirit of a dead child and at any time can be incarnated. The spirit of the child who is nourished is called the SON OF AMBAR.
The word amber comes from Sanskrit meaning "disappear", peranakan Chinese people also take care of amber children by giving them shoes and mini clothes. Then on certain nights, especially the day or night of his death will be provided offerings in the form of banana kings, chicken eggs, chicken eggs, and water or it could also be a favorite food of amber children when still alive if died after birth.
There are also some people who believe that amber children can give wealth to their parents, so that amber children are usually treated like living humans even though they cannot be seen with the eyes by others, but it could usually be seen by the old man who called out to him.
Some people also believe that keeping amber children can help realize any demand, whether in terms of economy or other problems. It can also be used as protection against occult attacks.
But most of the amber children who are called are unborn children, died at birth or are not until 5 years old.
The amber children are believed that, after they are called, they will grow up like a living child, but the conditions must be offered offerings, clothes and all other necessities, it's like a living child.
“I've never called a 12-year-old child to be an amber, I think you're the only one of the family's descendants who won't perform this ritual, because your child is already a dozen years old, but it turns out I was wrong, it seems like the curse of the amber child has been attached to you, so there must be a time when your family will see the child ambar.” Babah said after a week after mommy and papi prepared everything to perform the ritual.
“I plead for help because maybe our family wouldn't have survived if we hadn't called him, Babah.” My mother said sadly.
“I do not promise this will work, because the child you will call is already big enough, but because your family has the privilege in this ritual, it is possible that we will finish, but if it doesn't work, you have to be sincere.” Babah warns again, he is not a black shaman, but indeed many things he does to heal people with rituals according to the culture they profess, not based on religion, but the, because the knowledge he learned was indeed from the culture he embraced.
Mami and papi have been wearing clothes that are recognized by the sister, the last clothes that the sister uses shortly before dying have been placed in a basin of water, taken from 13 springs, which are now in the water, the shirt was perfectly submerged, the blood from the shirt had also been cleaned even though it was unable to clean perfectly, the fragrance that sister liked had been poured into the basin as well, she said, the basin was in front of his parents.
Around the old man sitting cross-legged there was a red candle that became the boundary between the supernatural and the real world, Babah started reciting spells.
The mantra calls for the soul that has gone.
The new clothes that will be worn by the amber child's sister have also been prepared, ranging from underwear to skirts do not forget shoes, have been prepared, as if to welcome the arrival of a child.
Everything is new, to please the amber and finally agree to live again with his parents as an amber child.
Babah sat outside the circle of candles which in the circle there were mami, papi and basins.
Khuv khuukhed garchir, bidnii omno garc
Bid chamaig duudna
Bid tand shine khuvtsas
Hot shine brutal avsan
Etseg ekh chini end
Etsrgg ekh khoyoryg sanaj
Kutkus .. kutkus .. kutkus ….
Everyone called out to the amber child, with the last words, all shouting and Babah ringing a rattle that had a golden-coloured iron rod for the handle.
The lights are off, the candles are dead too, Babah is silent, his body has been in another realm, his body is in the supernatural realm.
The warts! The warts! Babah whispered the name of the child so as not to be heard by ‘penghabili’ others in the supernatural world, because it could be, anyone comes undercover if they know the name of the child. He called out the name of the boy in a whisper.
Behind Babah there are mami and papi, they go into the third supernatural realm, Babah to show the way and his parents to persuade.
They continue even though many ‘they’ spirits who are in the supernatural world. Keep calling by whispering your sister's name.
From a distance there was a strange light, the mantra was heard by the spirit that was about to be called, the spirit recognized the voice of his parents, so he waited at the end there.
Upon seeing the boy, Babah ran followed by mami and papi, after approaching, papi and mami fell silent, because the boy had his head split apart, even in the bow of spirit, the boy's head was split exactly in form when he had an accident.
“Adik want to join mami and papi?” Babah asked cautiously, for this is the time of approval.
“But this pain.” The sister pointed at her head, apparently before this she was in the spirit realm of the child which made her not feel any pain at all, but upon hearing the call from her parents, she crossed over into the supernatural realm, lam unseen, here he started to feel the pain again.
“Later if you come with us, his younger brother will not hurt again, sister will wear new clothes, not this dirty clothes. This papi mami miss youh, does not want to join papi mami?” Babah persuaded, this is what Babah meant when the child is too big, it will be difficult to persuade him, because the child is much more able to think even in the form of spirit.
But if the child is still a fetus or has not passed from the age of 5 years, the child is only left pulled out, if now, depending on the wishes of the child, the child, stay in the mortal world and feel pain even though he will always be with his mother, or return to the spirit world of children.
“Adik go home with mami yuk, we eat together and later play together again, play with papi also.”
Mami reached out, she did not want to miss this opportunity, even though her form was so terrible it was better than the child was no longer there.
“Sick mami.” The boy seemed to be refusing, Babah hurriedly recited the spell so that the boy would not escape or escape.

This word will be repeated by the sister when it comes to Amanda whose energy is being absorbed through her necklace.
My sister stretched out her hand to my mother, once the hand was grasped, it was cold, my mother held back tears so as not to cry, the warm hand had not changed into a cold hand.
They returned to their bodies, while the sister was still with her spirit form, so until she was dressed in a white dress that had been prepared, a dress that dangled to her feet, the clothes were deliberately made with long, long clothes, sister floated, until her body looks like a mature woman in the dress, Sum later thought that the sister was a kuntilanak with long hair and split head, and then she was a little girl, though he was just a teenage spirit that floated so that his body looks very high as an adult woman.
“Mommy's child is very beautiful, mami's child comes home yes, now it's not sick anymore right?” Mami held incense, because Babah told her not to be in pain and always read a mantra to make her play happy.
After the ritual was completed, they went home with a tube, which contained a green statue, a dwarf human statue, a sister spirit while placed there first, so that the sister does not go anywhere.
As soon as the house, the sister's room was cleaned, the room was repainted, a bed was made and a short altar of worship was prepared there, the sister's food had to be changed three times a day, although the food is not eaten like a human, but the essence has been sucked, then when you eat the food used offerings, the food will feel bland, the food will be tasteless, because his saripati has been lived by ‘they’ the target of the offerings.
After the room was ready, the altar table was ready, and she took out her sister to stay in the room.
My sister came out and looked happy because she was back in her room.
“Cappy sister?”
Sister just nodded, papi and mami saw the sister back even though in the form of the spirit felt very happy.
The brother who was passing by the room heard chatter from the room, he thought it would be closed forever, but he finally understood, maybe papi and mami are longing for sister which is why they open the sister's room to just remember sister.
So finally he just left the room for and returned to his room to rest, lately brother is busy again with his lectures after previously had time off.
Although he actually did not want to remember the incident because it was so stifling, the guilt was very torturing for him.
But he didn't want to die, because let's not answer, he also did not feel relieved at all, losing his little brother he didn't know as something very painful, even though he felt his brother was a thief, he felt, but there was nothing in her life to make her sister die.
Whether since when the family situation improved, they so often dinner together again, although my sister never heard her mommy and papa calling her with a sici call again and the call became as haram used in this house, they tend to call names or I just you, you know, there was never again a sici call in the house, while brother was no problem because after all, now he had no sister as well, so for what he was called a cici as well.
“Mi, I borrowed the keys to sister's room, want to grab an empty book in the sister's closet, like it's still there huh Mi?”
“Let mami take.” Her mother refused the sister who took her to the room.
Brother followed mom from behind, no other purpose, just wanted to take it.
Mami stopped before they reached the door and asked brother to go to his room only, let him take to the sister's room.
The sister finally returned to the room and was confused by her mother's attitude.
Before long his mother went to his sister's room and gave him the empty book from his sister's room.
“This is his.”
“Mi ... Why can't I enter adek's room?” Brother asked.
“Because adek room should not be dirty.”
“What! but I'm just going in, when the adek room gets dirty. Mi, what's the matter?”
“Nothing, yaudah you continue your duties, now Mami want to prepare dinner.”
My mother's answer made my sister very curious, why she should not enter the room, come to think of it, the room was locked at all times, was it not strange, it should have been opened, if you are afraid of a dirty sister's room, then why did you never see the room cleaned? Because sister never saw the maid come into that room to clean. So if the room has to be clean, who cleans it? Mom's time? Brother was getting lost in his thoughts, but eventually he put off thinking because there was something he had to work on first.
At nightfall, they had dinner together, after dinner finished they returned to each other's rooms, until finally the night got late. Brother was already asleep, but waking up so thirsty, he forgot to bring water to his room, he finally went outside the room about to fetch some drinking water, he walked with his eyes still slightly closed because he was still sleepy, but as he passed by walking, he was like hearing his mother's voice chatting, laughing, where it was, where it was, because her mother's room was near her room, the voice she heard was from her room!
Brother slowly approached his sister's room, right, it was her mother's voice she eavesdropped and heard something strange.
“Adek very beautiful, adek very cute gedenya.” Brother heard it became goosebumps, why did his mother talk to herself but when she was scared her mother went crazy, she heard a strange voice, a faint voice, the voice was very similar to the sound of laughter.
The older brother knocked on the door of the room loudly, just wanting to make sure that what he heard was wrong.
The door was not opened for long by my mother, my mother held my sister's body so as not to force her way in, she then immediately closed the door.
“Mami I want to look inside.”
“For what!” My mother pushed my sister away.
“Mami who's inside!” Brother asked.
“Self.”
“Then I heard the sound ...”
“Why are you still up at this time, what do you want?”
“You take a drink.”
“Oudah there take a drink!” Mami then went to her room after once again making sure that the room was well locked.
Brother was getting curious, did he also start to go crazy because he heard his sister's voice?
But he finally fell asleep after drinking water.
In sleep, my brother dreams.
“Killer! Killer!”
“Adek, sorry cici yes, sorry.”
“You want your shirt? Here take! This is my favorite shirt!” Brother shouted in a form that was still very beautiful like the last one to meet his brother.
“Adik, Cici has taken off his shirt to give a beat, but Cici does not know if the shirt is for you even wretched, sorry Cici, Cici hates the shirt, Cici look for the shirt to burn his clothes, sorry Cici yes Dik.”
“No! nope! nope!” As the sister shouted and refused the apology, her face turned ghastly, her head split open and her face was full of blood from that split head.
Brother shouted in fear because of the horror of his sister's body that was like it had been crushed by the truck.
