SUKMA: The Deal With the Devil

A Warning

Still ringing in Sukma's ear about the words of Mr. Risman's relatives this morning. The father's mistrust of supernatural beings, made the little girl tickle. Intrigued by Mr. Risman's reaction when his inner eyes were opened, Sukma secretly began to do what uwa and his aunt had asked.

In the room, it appears that Mr. Risman is taking a nap. This is a good opportunity for Sukma to open his father's inner eyes while sleeping in the dreamland. Sukma put his palms in his father's eyes, and then cast a spell. When he finished, he rushed out of the room without anyone noticing.

A few minutes later, Risman woke up. Along with the gathering of consciousness, he walked towards the bathroom to take ablution. However, when opening the door, Mr. Risman was surprised not to play. There was a white-clothed woman with dreadlocks standing in the corner of the bathroom.

Mr. Risman did not want to believe what he saw. He rubbed his eyes, and the figure was still in the corner of the bathroom. Shakily, the middle-aged man chased the dreadlocked woman out of the bathroom. However, apparently the figure was reluctant to come out as Mr. Risman ordered.

Hearing Mr. Risman's cry from the kitchen, Sukma and Bu Inah approached him. Ms. Inah was stunned to see her husband behaving in an uncharacteristic manner.

"What's up, sir?" ask Mom, you are a little panicked.

"Mom, get that dreadlocked woman out of the bathroom! He is shameless, you want ablution," replied Mr. Risman with wide eyes.

Madam Inah looked at the bathroom. There's no one there. Frowning, the middle-aged woman looked at her husband in surprise.

"There's nothing, sir. That's how you feel" said Bu Inah.

Sukma also looked at the bathroom. It turns out to be true as seen by Mr. Risman. There's a dreadlocked woman there. The little girl was happy to know that her spell had an effect when her father fell asleep.

"Yes, Sir. There's a female dreadlocks. Dedek also see," said Sukma.

"Then get her out of here. You want ablution," ordered Mr. Risman.

Sukma happily plucked the hair of the monstrous figure into the backyard. The woman seemed resigned to follow Sukma walking to the backyard. Meanwhile, Mr. Risman continued to wudhu with horror that still plagued his mind.

In the backyard of the house, Atikah approached Sukma who came out while moving his hands strangely. He was curious after hearing his father's screams a moment ago. Without hesitation, he began to ask about his father.

"Daddy, what's the matter with you?" ask Atikah.

"Father can see ghosts, Tea," replied Sukma with a big smile.

Atikah's eyes widened to hear Sukma's answer. "Huh?! Really, Deck?"

Sukma nodded quickly.

"What?! Mr Dedek can see ghosts?!" Abah came to Sukma.

"Yes, Abah. He got the screams so fitting in the bathroom," replied Sukma.

"Astaghfiullah!"

Rushing Abah with Sukma and Atikah went into the house. The three are looking for Mr. Risman's whereabouts. Upon arrival in the room, it appeared that Mr. Risman was performing Dzuhur prayer solemnly.

Abah's feelings become unpleasant, knowing his daughter-in-law can see invisible creatures. While waiting for Mr. Risman to finish praying, Abah sat pensively in the middle room. His heart was really anxious about something that would happen to Mr. Risman next.

Finally, Mr. Risman came out of the room after finishing praying. Abah tells the children to play outside so that the conversation with his son-in-law is unknown. He also called Mr. Risman to sit nearby and talk about important things.

"What's up, Bah?" asked Mr. Risman while sitting in front of Abah.

"Risman, did you see that horrible figure in the WC?" Abah asked back.

"Yes, Bah. Who, the hell, is that him? It can be seen the same Sukma Deck, but not the same as my wife," replied Mr. Risman while frowning.

"Ouch! The thing Abah was afraid of was really happening," Abah Semabri muttered weakly.

"What's up, Bah?" Mr. Risman was stunned.

"Risman, you'd better take your wife and kids back to town. It's not good to linger here. In the near future, your family will send us a round of gimmicks," Abah said staring into Mr. Risman's eyes fixedly.

"No way, Bah. They can't possibly send us. Anyway, Eid, right, tomorrow. It's a pity that me and my family missed a family gathering moment during the holiday" said Mr. Risman.

"Yes, it's up to you, man. Abah just wanted to warn you. Abah hope, you are fine until you return to the city," Abah said languidly, then passed to the backyard.

Meanwhile, at Mother's residence, all of Mr. Risman's relatives smiled widely. Their initial plan to use his brother was successful. Soon they will launch a witchcraft, after busying Mr. Risman until his faith weakens.

On the terrace of Abah's house, Sukma opened a small bottle. When Wanara made it out of the bottle, Sukma was flabbergasted to see an upset look on the face of his beloved ape. Wanara sat opposite Sukma with both eyebrows linked together.

"What did you do to your father, Sukma?" asked Wanara in an interrogating tone.

"A-I .. I just opened his inner eyes Father, Wanara. Why do you look so upset?" sukma said with her song.

"God! What stupidity are you doing? On whose orders did you open Mr Risman's inner eyes? Let's answer!"

"I just want you to believe the same supernatural thing, let's not say I digress constantly."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Damn! You have brought disaster on your own father. Quickly close his inner eyes before it is too late! From yesterday I suspected you would be influenced by their words."

"What do you mean you say that?"

"Sukma, are you not aware that you have been influenced by their words to open the eyes of your father?"

Not yet Sukma retorted Wanara's words, Mr. Risman came to the terrace. He was astonished to see a large monkey facing the youngest. So worried, Mr. Risman immediately pulled Sukma and Atikah into the house. Meanwhile, Wanara was left outside. The monkey already knew, this would be the case if Sukma's father saw it.

"Sir, why did you take me with Dedek in?" ask Atikah.

"There's a big monkey outside eating Dedek. Don't you see, Atikah?" said Mr. Risman worriedly.

Atikah shook her head while pensive for a moment. He also immediately remembered his sister's pet monkey. Atikah knew very well, the ape could only be seen when his inner eyes were opened.

"Mr need not worry. It was Wanara, Dedek's pet," Atikah explained.

"Vanara? Who likes Dedek to say that pet monkey?" asked Mr. Risman surprised.

Sukma and Atikah nodded.

"J-so, Atikah also knew that the monkey had been with Dedek a long time ago?" ask Mr. Risman again with a gawking face.

"Yes. Atikah used to be able to see the monkey, but now it's not," replied Atikah.

Mr. Risman smiled cynically and tried to deny everything said by the firstborn. However, when he looked again at the terrace of the house, his little heart could no longer deny the existence of the supernatural pet monkey Sukma. Mr. Risman sighed deeply, then walked to the backyard to quell the panic that had run through his mind.

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

Echoes of takbir rippled throughout the village. Guna will not work tonight, because the great name of God will derail it before it reaches the intended person. Sukma can breathe a sigh of relief, his father is still fine when he went to the mosque to participate in the ceremony.

Seeing that Mr. Risman was gone, Wanara rushed into the house to meet Sukma. He can no longer bear to explain the terrible things that will happen to Mr. Risman next. Sukma searched all the rooms, until he finally found the little girl he was looking for in the backyard of the house playing fireworks with his extended family. Soon he approached Sukma and patted him on the shoulder.

"Sukma, I want an important talk" Wanara said.

"Later on. I was playing flowers with Mang Wawan. Tuh look! Good, right, the fireworks," declined Sukma.

"Come, Sukma. We don't have much time left" Wanara urged impatiently.

Sukma also lazily followed Wanara into the house. Arriving in the living room, Wanara drowned, making sure no one saw them talking, especially Mr. Risman. Can panic later if the middle-aged man caught him meeting with Sukma.

"What are you talking about, Wanara?" sukma asked in a upset tone.

"Sukma, you should quickly close your father's inner eye again" replied Wanara.

"What's the rush, Wanara? You are fine, really, until now," said Sukma innocently.

"Tonight he's fine. We don't know tomorrow or the day after tomorrow how it will be. Do you want to see your father die suddenly because of the magic his brother waged? You forgot, yeah, if we were here in the first place, that strange family had bad intentions for your father?"

Sukma was stunned to hear Wanara's words.

"If I had told you, Sukma, that not all who do not believe in supernatural beings are losers. The purpose of your Father choosing not to believe in supernatural beings anymore is to try to protect yourself. If you don't believe me, just ask Abah. He knows more about his past than you do" Wanara said.

"But why do you protect yourself in such a way?"

"You won't understand, Sukma. There have been a lot of people who have become my victims, but not all of them are on target. Some of them are hard for me to take his life, one of them is a man like your father. Those who do not believe in supernatural beings and have faith in their gods are strong."

"Oh, yeah. How am I supposed to do?"

"Quick close your father's inner eye before he believes again just as creatures like us and his faith crumble."

From the front door, Mr. Risman suddenly came throwing sandals at Wanara. Instantly the monkey panicked and ran in all directions. Mr. Risman swiftly threw again sandals until finally the monkey managed to get out of the house. Soon Mr. Risman closed the door, then approached Sukma.

"Guilders are okay, right?" asked Mr. Risman to touch Sukma's face with a look of panic.

"Dedek is okay. Teteh said, right, if it was Dedek's pet," replied Sukma.

"Yes, you know. You're just worried that Dedek's why."

Sukma was stunned to notice his father's attitude that turned overprotective when his inner eyes opened. He felt more sorry for his father, especially when he knew that magic would attack him easily if he believed in the supernatural again. Sukma really regretted having obeyed the words of his brother Pak Risman.
