SLANDER

#3

Back in four days after the death of Aidah, residents were increasingly worried about the terror of the subtle creatures that always disturb the peace of the residents and newcomers entering the village. Not thinking night or day, the creature was always haunting like he was looking for something he had not completed during his life on earth.

"Nur! Don't daydream about getting in!" Shouted Ijah from inside the house. For three days, Nur looked gloomy and often cried alone, I don't know what his daughter thought?

"Mommy, Nur always thinks the same way Aidah keeps going." Nur said as he stepped closer to Ijah who was kneading spices in the kitchen.

"Yes do not think again if rowdy, do'ain let Aidah calm down and get a roomy place." Ijah cried while continuing to mengolek red chili, he wanted to cook eggs balado for Nur.

Nur just silently responded to his mother's remark, he was still saddened by the departure of the woman as good as Aidah. During her time as a neighbor, the woman always greeted and occasionally gave her and her mother food. Not infrequently also Aidah took him to the market that was in the next village.

Nur walked back to the front, he was now sitting on the porch of his house. His eyes looked at Arman's house whose door was wide open, there was no visible movement of humans there, but the smoke from behind the house seemed to be soaring in the sign of the owner of the house cooking. Aidah said he did not want to use a gas or oil stove because the taste of the cuisine would feel different on his tongue, but this morning Nur saw a father who drove a large box into the house of Arman. Seen from the picture in the box, it was a gas stove complete with tubes that the man had tote.

TARR!!!

The sound of a lightning strike made Nur flinch and immediately stood up from his seat. The sharp white light shot right towards the guava tree behind Arman's house. Nur looked up at the sky if there was a sign of rain, but only a blue color that adorns the sky without any clouds hanging there. 'lightning weaving' murmured Nur while linking his eyebrows

"Nur! What a sound is that boy!" Shouting Ijah approached his daughter who was still standing in the house.

"Like Mak lightning, Nur saw that there was a white light that came suddenly like when the lights went out and on again." Nur said while looking at the guava tree struck by lightning, the leaves instantly withered and turned brown. Nur also saw Arman standing right in front of the guava tree seconds later their eyes collided with Arman staring intently at Nur. Nur who saw the sharp gaze of Arman just trying to singleness a smile, he admitted he was friendly but for the gaze of Arman his smile as if scared and hiding.

"Let's go in, aren't you afraid that lightning is coming again. Where the sun is now scorching and there are no clouds, there could be lightning striking." Ijah exclaimed as he pulled his daughter's arm into the house

"Bang Jaya how are you Mak?" Tanya Nur while having lunch with her mother

"Kasihan Jaya Nur, even though he has not been married for a week but now he can not speak the same with both hands."

A moment Nur stopped eating hearing what his mother said, somehow his feelings were on Aidah now.

"True Nur..."

A subtle sound immediately passed through Nur's hearing and made his hair stand up at that time, he stopped his eating activities and looked around. There was nothing, only Ijah who was busy eating his lunch greedily.

Nur watched his mother who was eating, gradually Nur saw his mother's body like there was the face of Aidah there. He stared fixedly, Aidah looking down with a pale face and his eyes closed. The white shadow of Aidah was sad now, his mother felt nothing from earlier and was still eating. Seeing Nur staring at himself with unblinking eyes, Ijah flicked his hand right in front of Nur and made his daughter flinch in shock.

"Why are you Nur?" Ijah asked with a surprised face

"No papa Mak, Nur Kayak saw something behind umak."

Ijah saw his back, there was nothing, there was only a plate shelf on display there.

"You are there, so don't daydream about eating. You may fall asleep later after eating." Say Ijah while feeding food back in front of him into the mouth

"Hehehey is Mak, Nur seems to have seen it wrong."

"What did you see?"

"Nur look at Aidah's brother."

Byurrrs

The food Ijah chewed right on Nur's face, he was shocked to hear his son's words. Ijah stared intently at Nur, he remembered the words of his neighbor and the mothers in the village. Who sees the spirit of the Aida must have something to do with it.

"Are you doing the same Aida?" Ijah stared intently at his daughter

"You know, anyone who sees his spirit will have trouble and get lost." Firm Ijah. He still stared fixedly at the face of the only princess

"Nur did not admit anything Mak, Mak knew too. Mak has always been with Nur." Nur sobbed, he thought his mother had accused him of nothing

Ijah let out a heavy sigh, he looked at Nur with regret. He was lulled by the words of the villagers, until he forgot his daughter was always near his armpit from birth and except when school first.

"I'm sorry Nur, Mak didn't mean it that way. Mak is just worried about you. Said Jaya residents can be like that because it is disturbed by the spirit of Aidah who is still in this village." Ijah. Nur just fell silent and scolded every word of his mother

"That means bang Jaya knows something about the death of Brother Aidah?" Nur said by entering sobbing

Ijah was wide-eyed to hear his daughter's words, right too, said the only people guilty of Aidah who disturbed him.

"Somehow did bang Arman not follow up on his wife's case? Already knew his death was not natural even to be left alone." Nur. This time Ijah agreed with his daughter

"That's his own family business. We can't interfere." Ijah started tidying up their lunch marks

"That spirit is actually no Nur, it's just a genie that resembles a human." Ijah. He was already in the well and washing dishes

"But Mak, why did the genie do evil to the person who had disturbed the deceased?" He was more curious about his mother's words. During the school they did not discuss this and only memorized the do'a and holy verses related to God Azza wa jalla. They also discuss a little hadith and sunnah-sunnah of the Apostle after that only studied world science.

"Jin is in fact Nur's bully, they will do anything to make people afraid. Jinns or demons and the like will continue to act so that someone's faith is shaken and turns to believe in them. They will lead us astray and distance us from God."

Nur only mangosteen heard his mother's words, from that he was very sure that Jaya had something to do with the death of Aidah. He had to find out also why Arman did not look so sad over the death of his wife and child in the womb of Aidah.

"Why bengong Nur?" Tanya Ijah saw Nur staring with a flat gaze

"No papa Mak, Nur just thought why lately Kak Aidah always came to Nur through dreams or directly even though Nur also did not believe."

"Makanya more often worship, which comes it is not Nur's Aida anymore but jin qorin or ifrit that resembles him during the world." Ijah to his daughter

Nur had heard about jin qorin and jin ifrit from their religious subjects teacher. He remembered the genie qorin was a genie that was almost attached to himself and always accompanied even his teacher saying the genie was like a twin with us. As jinn ifrit, their teacher said it was the temperature of the jinn. It can be said that the genie is the king of the jinn, he is the one who often possessed or made weak human faith possessed.

Nur is not out of thought with something created by Allah SWT, if we logic all that we can be crazy and constantly looking for tau. Our job is to believe only in them and the existence of another world besides human life.

"Are humans who have died and turned into wild animals right umak?" Ask Nur again. It is undeniable, all their villagers still uphold the cultural values and customs of the ancestors. Even mystical things are still believed by the community and not infrequently many people who come to shamans for treatment or ask for something. Residents believe that people who kill themselves will be swaying and turned into wild animals such as bears and tigers.

During the fruit season, people will often encounter sightings after sighting, they will assume anyone who sees it will get unusual misfortune or misfortune.

Ijah stared intently at his daughter who was sitting on the bench and stopped washing her. He walked up and sat back on the bench in front of Nur, Ijah heaved a heavy sigh to answer his daughter's question

"Yes, that's only according to those who have gone before us. They believe the person who died by suicide will not be accepted by the land and will continue to float in the world. Remember Nur, many people say that the spirit will be used by people who are demon-spirited to damage others." Firmly Ijah

"I mean umak?" Dahi Nur pinched at hearing his mother's words, the spirit can be used by people who are demonic? Nur did not understand

"Like a person who sends us harm, he will also use the spirit that the earth does not accept to hurt others. That's what people used to believe, but we shouldn't take it for granted."

Nur understand now, the story of people who say that the Sumatran tiger that attacked the residents was so-japan and it was done by a person who was in the spirit of a demon. Nur often heard the story that in the forest that almost surrounded their village there were many creatures that were visible and invisible, including tigers who became a legend that it was the incarnation of their ancestors to guard the forest area Mandailing and Batang river girls who became the center of human civilization in the area of Mandailing Natal.

The story of female ghosts who always dwell in the white rock located in their river is also Nur think, what is a spirit that has not been calm or not received land as well.
