SUKMA: The Deal With the Devil

Tumultuously

Upon arriving at Giska's house, the woman in red smirked. How happy he was when he entered the residence of the girl whose body was occupied by him. As was his custom when he had no body, the woman laughed out loud with a terrible shrill voice.

Rifalbi, Giska's brother, was astonished to see his sister's attitude. Not usually Giska who is quiet and does not talk much, can laugh as hard. His mother who was about to greet them at home was surprised to see Giska's behavior.

"Giska, you're so shocked. Why are you laughing like that? Don't kidnap Brother! Later if I hear, can parno him," said Rifalbi annoyed.

The short-haired girl only sneered, then followed Rifalbi into the house. Giska's mother was standing at the door from earlier. She was terrified when she heard her daughter's laughter a moment ago.

Seeing the fear on his mother's face, Rifalbi tried to calm him down. He knew very well, the middle-aged woman was often afraid to refuse to deal with the occult. The young man immediately drove his mother to the room and gave an understanding, that Giska was very happy after returning home overnight at school. So no wonder the girl started to be nosy.

The woman in red walked leisurely towards Giska's room near the living room. The way he walked made the sister-in-law of the short-haired girl, Elisha, feel astonished. According to Elisa, Giska has a very relaxed and elegant way of walking, unlike the haughty thugs who like to hang out in the terminal.

Curious, Elisha approached her sister-in-law's room. He noticed Giska's strange movements. Upon seeing her sister-in-law look in the mirror, the twenty-year-old woman frowned even more. He shook his head weakly, thinking that the teenage girl who entered his sister-in-law's room was not Giska.

"I feel so happy to have this body. Young age, pretty face, short hair. Ah .. I'm really happy" said the woman in red as she stroked her skin and laughed shrillly.

Elisha could no longer bear Giska's attitude. He entered his sister's room without knocking on the door. The woman who had possessed Giska's body turned her head, and then stared intently at Elisha. Proudly, he approached his interlocutor.

"Why did you enter without knocking on the door? Basic humans have no manners!" the woman in red glared at Elisha.

"Giska, since when did you say that disrespectful to your sister-in-law? Istigfar, Giska. Istigfar! You may be happy after spending the night at school, but that doesn't mean your behavior turns badung like this" Elisha grumbled.

Furious, the woman in red pulled Elisha's hair. He then banged the head of the wife of the Rifalbi against the wall. Elisha is completely confused by Giska's attitude which turns rude after coming home from school.

"Don't pretentiously advise me, Stupid Woman! I'm smarter than you. So, shut up or I'll cut your tongue until I can't yell at me anymore" the woman in red threatened.

From outside the room, Rifalbi was surprised to see his sister being rude to his wife. Soon he went into Giska's room, and broke them both. The man told his wife to leave the room while he stood up and folded his hands. A tinge of anger was clearly visible on his face.

The woman in red stared intently at Rifalbi while smiling cynically. Of course, his strange attitude was still a big question for the elder brother. It is not usual for Giska to give such a look if advised. Previously, the short-haired girl had always lowered her head in lethargy and thought about improving herself.

"Giska, what's wrong with you, anyway? It could be rude to be rude to your own sister-in-law. Actually what are you studying at school to dare to challenge your sister-in-law all, ha?" rifalbi snaps pissed.

"I'm pissed! He entered my room without permission. You're looking for a real wife, don't like her. Women have no manners!" the woman in the red dress complained to Rifalbi.

"Stop! Stop you saying that! Wherever he is your brother-in-law" said Albi, trying to contain his anger.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law. She doesn't deserve to be a sister-in-law. It's supposed to be a bitch, who doesn't have manners."

The patience of the Rifalbi is over. Out of his control, he slapped his sister on the cheek. The girl did not cry at all. All that was in his eyes was embers of anger at the man before him.

The woman in red was raging. Rifalbi who suddenly caught fire, rushed out of his sister's room, then slammed the door. Soon he locked Giska's room, so that the girl would not come out of her room. The man begins to realize that Giska has been possessed by a genie at his school.

"Bi, why is the door locked?" ask Giska's mother in wonder.

"He's raging again" answered Rifalbi briefly.

"Well, why are they locked? What if she wants to go to the bathroom or eat?" ask Giska's mother to worry.

"Please calm down, Mom. If he calms down, I'll unlock him. Maybe now he's sleep-deprived, so it's raging" replied Rifalbi, then took her mother to the kitchen to cook with Elisha.

The woman in red still did not stop raging in the room. He kicked the door repeatedly, but it did not open. Irritated, he sat on the bed and cursed, that being human was not as free as being a high-class ghost at school.

Nevertheless, he remains happy because he has the body of a young girl and beautiful. Sometimes he laughs with his distinctive, shrill voice. Giska's sister and mother shuddered in horror when they heard the sound of laughter. They really felt that something was wrong with Giska.

...****************...

After taking a nap, Sukma rushed to take a shower and changed clothes. Bu Inah was astonished to see his daughter doing everything in a hurry. He remembered, it is Saturday. It is fitting that the youngest rest a little while after spending the night at school.

"Dedek, what, look so hasty? Where are you really going?" tanya Bu Inah noticed her daughter who was tying shoelaces on the terrace.

"Dedek is going to Giska's house, ma'am. There are important things that want to talk about Dedek," replied Sukma without looking at his mother in the slightest.

"Well, there's a hape. Dedek can talk to Giska through hape," explained Bu Inah.

"Can't, Mom. The problem this time can not be Dedek obrolin through the phone," said Sukma, while tying the shoelace to the left.

"But Dedek still wants Giska's house? We haven't been there for a long time. Who knows now the house has moved," said Bu Inah.

"Please calm down, Mom. If he has moved, just ask his neighbor. Just now, Mom. Dedek is leaving. Assalamualaikum," said Sukma standing up, then kissing his mother's hand.

"Wa alaikum salam" replied Bu Inah.

Sukma hurried away from his house. Not to forget, he also brought Wanara into the bottle just in case. His heart was still not calm. Worried in case the Giska family fell victim to the violence of the woman in red.

Half an hour drive by public transport. Sukma still felt anxious thinking about the current state of Giska's body. When the angkot will cross the compound area, Sukma immediately down. He ran into the complex, where he lived as a child.

Meanwhile, the woman in red began to calm down on Giska's body. However, he still felt hungry as a human. He ransacked the fridge in the kitchen, looking for fresh edible meat. Luckily, there was raw chicken in there.

Soon the woman in red devoured the chicken meat raw. For him, the taste of raw meat is still good. Giska's mother, who accidentally caught her daughter eating meat, was shocked. Roughly, the middle-aged woman snatched the chicken meat from her daughter's hands.

"It's too bad you snatched my food. You must feel the consequences!" she snapped the woman in red, then strangled her mother Giska vigorously.

Hearing the commotion in the kitchen, Rifalbi and Elisha immediately approached the origin of the commotion. The two soon broke up her sister and mother. Unmercifully, Rifalbi dragged his raging sister into the room, while his wife tried to appease the in-laws.

Rifalbi was completely overwhelmed to face her sister who was trying to rebel. Using all his strength, he pushed his body into the room, slammed the door and locked it. Finished shutting Giska away, the man rushed into the kitchen. However, his steps stopped when the bell rang.

Not wanting to make his guests wait for a long time, quickly Rifalbi headed for the living room and opened the door. A girl his sister's age was standing at the door. He was none other than Sukma, who was impatient to report the condition of Giska to his family.

"Giska's aunt, huh?" ask Rifalbi.

"Yes, brother," replied Sukma.

"If you want to see Giska, tomorrow again, yes. You see, he is sick again" said Rifalbi.

From inside the house, a girl screamed. His growling voice, making Sukma sure, that something did not happen to the body of his childhood friend.

"I don't want to see Giska, but I want to see Brother" Sukma said.

"I? All right, come on in, please" said Rifalbi.

Sukma then sat on the soft sofa. Rifalbi went to the kitchen for a while to ask his wife to prepare a drink. Shortly after, the man returned to the living room to meet Sukma.

"Yes, the feeling, Brother has met Adek deh, but where, huh?" ask Rifalbi to make small talk.

"I used to live around this compound. I'm a Kindergarten with Giska, even my mother used to come here too" explained Sukma.

"Who? Ma'am Inah?"

Sukma nodded quickly.

"Oh, so you who used to have the same business as Susan's doll?! Holy hooch! Thank goodness you are well" said Rifalbi.

A few minutes later, Elisha came with two glasses of sweet tea. He sat down for a moment to greet Sukma. The woman also felt familiar with the face of the teenage girl sitting on the sofa. He had seen her while dropping off Giska's school list.

"Well, what do you need to see Brother?" ask Albi.

"I just want to say to Brother, please stay alert. Because Giska that Brother brought home his body was possessed by the same dedemit. Giska's soul doesn't know where it is" explained Sukma.

Hearing Sukma's explanation, Rifalbi and his wife were stunned. The man immediately told his wife to bring his mother into the room. Worried talk between him and Sukma sounded. Unimaginable if until his mother fell ill because of hearing this bad news. Rifalbi and his wife will be very troubled to take care of both.

"But ... how can Adek know that Giska is possessed? What happened at school?" rifalbi asked in a soft voice.

"Giska desperate to play Jailangkung with her friends when spending the night at school. I warned him a few days before, but he was instead. At midnight, I found him unconscious in one of the classes. Two of his friends ran away first. I think Giska is fine, but in fact really possessed," said Sukma.

"Keep, how is the story you don't know where Giska's soul is? As far as you know, Giska's school was coming home all right."

"That's because the dedemit in Giska's body does not want to be caught by the crowd, so pretend to be innocent," explained Sukma. "Well, what is he doing at home? Did he make a noise?"

"Since arriving home, he has been angry until he dared to insult his mother and wife. Big brother can't stand him behaving like that, so kept locked up in the room."

"Hm .. so, yes. I thought this would be how it would be."

"So, how should we go? Do I need help recovering Giska?"

"Try it, brother. Maybe the dedemit will not dare to act rowdy during the recitation of prayer," said Sukma. "While you deal with that dedemit, I will seek the soul of Giska, no matter how. Anyway you guys should help me so Giska can quickly get back into his body."

"All right, we'll work on it."

"As long as the dedemite remains in Giska's body, Giska's soul will not be able to enter easily. Perhaps with the help of ustaz, Giska could recover as usual."

"I don't expect that either. So, for now you have to call ustaz first, right? You see, if you keep thinking like this, pity our mother. He likes parnoan when it comes to dealing with ghosts."

"Yes, Brother. Try it first. I hope our plan to return Giska works."

"Aamiin's."

"Oyes, Brother. Can you take me to Giska's room for a second? I want to see how he is."

Rifalbi nodded, then got up from the sofa to take Sukma to his sister's room. Slowly, the man opened the door. His sister's body was lying on the bed. Sukma let out a long sigh, trying to look at Giska's state more closely. However, his presence has been known by the red-clothed dedemit.

"Satanic Boy! What are you going to do here? Dare to fight me, ha?" snapped the woman in red got up from the bed, then walked hurriedly to Sukma.

Soon Rifalbi pulled Sukma's body from her sister's room, then locked the door again. Sukma looked surprised to see his friend turned very fierce when possessed by dedemit. He looked at Rifalbi, shaking weakly.

"We should save Giska tonight" Sukma said.
