Not how long Bi Asih came, carrying a few cups of fruit filled with drinking water. He was very surprised to see the situation of Dimas and Yijia, who were increasingly trembling and frightened.
"What's the Syifa?" Bi Asih brought a cup of water and approached Yijia. He helped Jijia drink, holding her cup while Jijia drank, because Jijia's hands were still trembling.
Being cooked, without help he can immediately take the water brought by Bi Asih from the kitchen, and immediately drink all the water with just a few sips.
After being calm, Dimas was able to breathe a sigh of relief, he began to regulate his breathing again, eliminating the tightness in his chest.
"Bi we saw a ghost!" dimas exclaimed as he managed to recover himself from his shock.
"Ghost?" Joseph tilted his head to look at Dimas, who looked so serious when speaking.
"Yes, you know what? yesterday in the village next door there was a new one died, and when bathing him Mr. Dullah did not come, because he was going to Barabai," Dimas began to tell stories. Yusuf looked very confused, he decided to sit in front of Dimas and began to listen to Dimas' story carefully.
While Yijia, now she was in the arms of Bi Asih, who was also listening to the story of Dimas, while rubbing Yijia's back, slowly.
"What connection?" asked Joseph curiously
"You will know that Mr. Dullah has long been a bathman of the dead, he is an expert and knows very well what he has to do.
Well because he does not exist, then no one knows if the person who died then there is a science of magic, namely immune science or the like. So his science does not come out, then he became a ghost so-genesis"
"Oh you mean ghosts (Genesis) so-genesis?" Bi Asih looked very surprised.
"What ghost is Bi?" this time Yijia who had started to calm down, also felt curious.
"Look Syifa, that person is actually dead, his spirit has moved to the afterlife, and who is now in his body, controlling, not that person anymore, but the genie he secluded to get immune science or other black magic. When he died and his knowledge was not released then the jinn controlled his body, because that is what he had to pay for the help of the genie, the jinn, makes him immune and feels great when he's alive.
Usually it is Mr. Dullah who helps release the knowledge by sticking a gold needle, or other ways. Of course, with the permission of the heir. The extent of not letting go just prevents the body from coming out of the grave, because of course when the public knows, neighbors and others know it, it will embarrass the entire family left behind."
"So now how is Bi? will he continue to be in our village?" ask Yijia worried
"No, said Bibi's mother first, the ghost so-this incident does not stay in one place, he walked everywhere collecting offerings to be taken to the maratus mountain, he said, after 100 days he'll disappear."
"Where is the mountain?"
"Aibi also do not know, it may be different from nature with us, the nature of the softeners," explained Bi Asih
"Hufh, thankfully" Yijia felt calm in fact, at first she felt worried that if the creature continued to be in her village, it would be difficult to live the night, which was, that was, that was, there will only be fear and worry.
"Dear Syifa, not all ghosts are the same as those on television, like the thing that people who died because of being killed, she can not come to demand revenge to the killer. Because when he died, it was not his business anymore, he would not have time to retaliate because maybe at that time his spirit had faced the angel, in the grave. While the body is still in the tomb, and the creature that lies on our earth is just a genie who sneers at it, taking the form as if the person came out of the tomb. This is what is often referred to as grave slander, by villagers."
"If Syifa's still scared, how about Syifa tonight just stay at Aunt's?"
"But, Grandma would have been very worried, if Syifa hadn't come home"
"Kok I really Bi? I also want to stay here" Dimas protested directly
"It's okay, then Dimas and I will take Syifa home, I'm also afraid Grandma will go out of the house alone to look for Syifa" explained Yusuf
"Yes, okay!" yijia exclaimed excitedly, she did not want to if something happened to her Grandma because she was looking for herself.
"Well then," Dimas followed Joseph's words, and he was ashamed of Jijiah if he now acted like a coward, who did not dare to drive Jijia home.
"Then return home after wrong magrib, now we pray magrib first," Bi Asih
"Yes, alright Bi" Yijia replied
Finally they all decided to pray together first in the house of Bi Asih, and again of course the priest was Joseph.
......
After praying magrib and saying goodbye to Bi Asih, Yijia again walked home with Joseph and Dimas. During the unceasing journey he held Joseph's warm hand, not a second did he take Joseph's hand off, whether Jijia was conscious or not.
While Joseph secretly smiled happily, he could continue to be near Yijia and hold her hand. There was no distance between their bodies, Jijiah kept his body close to Joseph, and Dimas was on the other side. He also tightened his body near Yijia, his chest up and down, his heartbeat sounding quite loud.
Dimas continued to look in all directions, afraid that suddenly a strange creature appeared.
Accompanied by 3 flashlights and street lighting that were each a good distance apart, the silence of the night made the atmosphere even more sinister, plus to the mute of the three, none of them dared to open their voices.
"Yusuf, I'm afraid" whispered softly Yijia
"Relax Syifa, I will protect you" Joseph replied no less softly than the voice of Jijiah, while Jijiah's hand began to tremble again, realizing that, Joseph increasingly tightened his grip on Jijia's hand. Unlike Yijia, he took off Joseph's hand and turned to grab Joseph's upper arm, hugging Joseph's upper arm tightly and sticking his body near Joseph, like a postage stamp that did not come off easily.
After 15 minutes of walking, the three of them finally arrived in front of his Grandma Yijia's house. Instantly they were immediately greeted warmly by his Grandmother Yijia and Sari, and allowed to enter.
Finally after a tense journey, Yijia was able to breathe with relief. He was truly grateful to Joseph who had been patient in bringing him home, and had lent his hand to Jijia.
Yijia began to tell her experience that night to her Grandmother and Aunt Sari. So did Dimas, he also shared that he was almost half an hour in the tree when the creature came and then after Yijia came to go home, just for fear of anything happening to Yijia, Dimas dared to come out of his hiding place, which was down from the rubber tree he was riding.
Yijia's grandmother only smiled warmly at her granddaughter, not because of her story and Dimas, but because Yijia and Joseph continued to hold hands.
So did Sari, she had no intention at all to say that to Jijiah, for if Jijiah were conscious, then he and Joseph would be ashamed.
Finally for the sake of a precious and rare sight, none of them awakened Jijiah or Joseph. They were happier with the sight and did not want to ruin their happy moments at the moment.
Finally my granddaughter can open up to a young man, may this be a good sign, may Allah bless them, Aamiin.
