SPIRIT AND DEATH

RESCUE

I walked back to the yellow bamboo and told him I wanted Amanda. Just then, I saw the girl's eyes staring blankly straight ahead.

"Don't fuck with me!"

"No. I only asked for one and that was Amanda" I said, staring at the scary-looking woman.

"You scared?"

"No."

"Yes?"

"of course. There are many more in my house."

While talking, suddenly the woman's hands extended forward and grabbed my neck while pushing so that my body retreated a few steps back.

I took hold of the hand and began to recite the verse I used to protect those around me. Because it could be that he also attacked the others or possessed another body, so that the current magrib time travel will be longer.

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْتَحْفِظُكَ وَنَسْتَوْدِعُكَ دِيْنَنَا وَأَنْفُسَنَا وَأَهْلَنَا وَأَوْلَادَنَا وَأَمْوَالَنَا وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَعْطَيْتَنَا، اَللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا فِي كَنَفِكَ وَأَمَانِكَ وَجِوَارِكَ وَعِيَاذِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ مَرِيْدٍ وَجَبَّارٍ عَنِيْدٍ وَذِيْ عَيْنٍ وَذِيْ بَغْيٍ وَمِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ ذِيْ شَرٍّ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ 

"Allaahumma innaa nastahfidhuka wa nastaudi'uka didianii wa anfusanaa wa ahlanaa wa aulaadanaa wa amwaalanaa wa kulla syai'in a'thaitanaa. Allahummaaj 'alnaa fii kanfika wa amanika wa psyakarika wa 'iyaadzika min kulli syaithaanim mariid wa jabbaarin 'aniid wa dzi 'ainin wa dzi baghyin wa min syarri kulli dzi syarrin innaka 'alaa kulli shai'in qadiir."

"O Allah, we ask You to take care of us and we entrust to You our religion, ourselves, our families, our children, our possessions, and everything You have given us. O God, make us in Your care, Your care, Your closeness, and Your protection from the seductive interference of Satan, from the cruel, from the eyes of the wicked, from the one who means evil, and from any evil that brings evil. Verily, You are all powerful over all things."

Smoke began to come out from his hand which was covered in white cloth like a worn shroud. At that moment, the creature removed his hand from Amanda's mouth and pointed his fingers filled with black, long and sharp nails toward my eyes. But this time, I was able to catch him deftly.

My focus was split because I saw Amanda not reacting. The little girl just stood there, unable to feel anything and I also had no idea what was happening to her. He should have run towards his parents because his body was no longer held captive by the frightening figure.

"Why you?" ask Amanda's mother who sees me as desperate and asphyxiated. But I didn't answer because I couldn't.

Slowly, I gathered my energy and focused on the astral enemy before me. With my right hand, I held the mysterious woman's hand and moved it upwards so that I could speak again.

بِسْــــــــمِ اللَّــــــــهِ الرَّحْمَــــــــنِ الرَّحِيــــــــمِ {1} الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ {2} الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ {3} مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ {4} إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ {5} اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ {6} صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَالضَّآلِّينَ {7}

"By the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful (1) Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds (2) Most Gracious, Most Merciful (3) Who rules the day of vengeance (4) You alone are the one we worship,  and it is only to You that we ask for help (5) Show us the straight path (6) The path of those whom You have blessed; not their path is destroyed nor their path is perverted (7) (letter of Al-Faatihah 1-7)"

اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ

"Alloohu laa ilaaha illaa huwal hayyul qoyyuum, laa ta’khudzu sinatuw walaa naum. Lahuu maa fissamaawaati wa maa fil ardli man dzal ladzii yasyfa’u ‘indahuu illaa biidznih, yes’lamu maa baina aidiihim wamaa kholfahum wa laa yuhiithuuna bisyai’im min ‘ilmihii illaa bimaa syaa’ wasi’a kurisyuhus sataawaati wal ardlo walaa ya’uuduhuu hifdhuumaa wahuwal ‘aliyyul ‘adhiim."

"How dare you bother me" he said, with half of his body already on fire. Starting from the hands, chest, and both legs.

"Allahu Akbar ... Allah Akbar ... Allah Akbar .... " I continued with the letter an-nas and lastly Surah An-Naml.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّ حْمَنِ الرَّ حِيْمِ , اَلَّا تَعْلُوا عَلَىَّ وَاْتُونِى مُسْلِمِيْنَ

Bismilbornrahmanirrahiim, allaa ta'luu 'alayya wa'tuunii muslimiin

Meaning: 

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful. Do not be arrogant to me, and come to me as one who surrenders. (QS An-Naml: 30-31)

"There is not the slightest trace of fear in my heart when facing a being like you. But not all of you must burn as you are now, if you want to understand the meaning. Meaning that God the Ruler of the universe includes you. To him, you are just a weak figure."

"Call her name as often as possible!" I said while looking at Amanda's mother.

"Navio ... Ariston ... Amandaa .... "

The screams from Amanda's family, as loud as the shouts of the astral figure. Before long, Amanda screamed from the yellow bamboo and instantly her family could see Amanda who had been hiding.

Finished destroying the creature, suddenly my right hand trembled violently. I don't know why? It is not because of fear or hunger.

All members of Amanda's family ran over and hugged the tiny body that seemed to cry hysterically, except for her father. "Mama ..." cried Amanda, just like any other little girl, in confusion and fear. Yes, only the mother is the first person we remember.

"No way, no way, no way" his father Amanda said when he saw his daughter was near the yellow bamboo.

While I who felt my whole body weakening instantly fell silent while continuing to watch the family cry for Amanda. Before long, I saw Amanda's father approach the little girl and she hugged her very tightly.

After seeing the sight, I thought back. Maybe all this time his father Amanda did not think that what he did, could be very fatal to his daughter. It is also possible that during this time, he did not know that the astral world does exist and was always looking for loopholes and opportunities to take a side of our precious selves.

"Are you okay, Sarah?" wiro asked who seemed to be in a hurry towards me and you only answered him with a nod of your head.

"Bau blood, wewe gombel to?"

"I want to go home."

"Come on."

"So, what's your name?" ask Amanda's father who seems to be starting to care.

"Tidad." Then I left them all while hugging my own trembling body.

"Allow us to take you home."

"No, thank you and you should all go home too! Before the others come."

"Thank you very much, Ma'am" said Amanda's mother. I didn't turn my face back at all because I didn't want to go into their family affairs much deeper. This alone, it already feels very painful.

"You sure you're strong, Sarah?"

"Yes, I was just shaking" I said as I was far enough away from the family.

"He must be an old creature, I mean a long waiter there. That's why he's strong enough. You should have called me, Sarah. So you don't have to intervene like this. Now, look at you!"

"I'm just a little shaky, Wiro."

"Sarah, you're in deep pain and recovery isn't easy. Don't take it lightly, you plain brat."

"Don't grumble anymore, Wiro! Now I'm asking, can I walk this road to the car quietly?" I asked because I saw that there were already many astral beings scattered before me. Naturally, the sound of the adhan magrib had started to be heard from the mosque around the location where I was moving.

Seriate.
