The Old Tree Dwellers

Goes According to Plan

After hearing Aulia's story earlier, Aulia's parents, sitting back, after the congregation of magrib prayers. Madi then walked slowly to Aulia and began to tell her about all the events that had happened to them in the house. Initially, Aulia's father and mother did not give excessive reactions. However, after knowing that their target is now Aulia, then a feeling of worry arises.

“So, tomorrow, Nak Madi will return to the cottage ?” Mr. Aulia rode while tidying up the peci perched on his head.

“Iya, Sir. Aulia nitip rice dicsini for a few days. If left at home alone, I was worried, Pak.”

Mr. Aulia mangosteen. It seemed like he could understand the uneasiness of his son-in-law. Indeed from some relatives, never heard a fairly spooky story about the house that inhabited Madi and Aulia. Also word got out that the inhabitants of the old tree are sentient beings to find victims or casualties to achieve a certain goal. Like generating unnatural wealth.

“Nak Madi, don't worry. Aulia is safe here. Just concentrate on the cottage. Let's quickly solve this problem.” The answer of his father-in-law earlier made Madi able to breathe a sigh of relief. Aulia would be safe if left here. His daily needs will be met.

After all, there are parents who watch his actions that are unstable, so they cannot be influenced by invisible beings who always aim for him.

Maadi thanked and thanked them for one mistake they could finish tonight. Just tomorrow again.  The trip to the boarding school that took almost a day was afraid that it could make Madi run out of time. Not to mention, while there must find the right time to tell the problems he faces now.

What Madi had in mind was the time to leave Aulia alone without any supervision from her. That mysterious figure would definitely strive to flirt in various ways. In fact she could also tease both of Aulia's parents.

“Dek, if tomorrow, Akang so go to the cottage, do not forget to keep praying and teaching. Murotal also continued to play. Don't be fooled by someone similar to Akang!”

Madi's statement not only surprised Aulia, but also her parents.

 “I mean Akang, there is a creature that intends to disguise itself as Akang?” Madi nodded, confirming Aulia's question.

“Iya, Deck. Better watch out. Usually, such creatures will continue to tease and try all means, so that his wishes are realized. Included by disguising as Akang.”

Aulia and her parents were nodding. Started to understand with Madi's explanation. So that they do not vccemas, then Madi taught a prayer to be able to see whether when he left tomorrow there was someone who made fun of him or not.  So there is no more doubt and can distinguish whether the creature is the original or the creature-made.

"Thank you, Kang. Aulia will be more careful, tomorrow.Aulia continued to memorize and recite the prayer. He didn't want to be the game of those old tree-dwelling creatures. And as the night grew late, out there, a subtle movement tried to enter Aulia's house. However, again Madi has made preparations with

create a magical fence, limiting the motion of creatures or figures who try to break through.

As well as being beneficial, both of Aulia's parents were also very devout in worship. It further strengthened the defense fortress of the magical fence. With the frequent watering of the holy verses of the Quran, making its inhabitants become stronger and can reduce fear of the presence of astral beings.

Tonight, Madi can sleep a little. The condition of the house that is always installed murotal is also a little bit of calm for Aulia. Just like in their home. It's just that the focus of the power of the creatures that had been bothering Aulia was the old tree. While currently they were quite far away from that haunted old tree. Thus, automatically Aulia can still survive the onslaught of stral creatures whose strength is slightly weakened.

As usual, Madi always woke up in the middle of the night, performing tahajud prayers. Only this time, Madwakes Aulia to pray tahajud together. Aulia's husband wants his wife to immediately launch a memorization of some prayers that have been taught to Madi since long ago. It could thicken the magical line that Madi had made before.

“Kang, tonight Adek dreamed of someone coming. Darling, his face is covered by a black mask, so can't see his face clearly.”

“Nothing. Deck. He just

“Iya, Kang. Hopefully Adek can

“Must be it, Deck. Bravely

themselves.” Madi is back. It is true what Madi said.

If we are bold and always pronounce the name of God, we must have power

alone to fortify themselves from the influence of the devil who tries to flirt.

Finally, at the end of the last third of the night, Madi also recited all the prayers he had learned in the pesantren to thicken the occult lines on all sides of the house. He did not want to give the slightest chance or gap that caused the mysterious creature or figure to be able to barge in.

Chances are, there will be a terrible thing, if there are invisible creatures attacking them. Fearfully, Aulia could be wretched, as a victim of their ferocity.

That made them very worried and always trying to keep Aulia safe.

Thank God again, until the morning, the attack of the creature did not occur. Madi who had been awake from earlier, was busy preparing to welcome dawn prayers. Demiukian was also with Aulia, and her parents. They also seem to be getting ready. In the living room, some prayer rites have been called Aulia. It is time for morning prayers. They carry out their duties solemnly.

During their dawn prayers, there was not a single lun of disturbance as Madi and Aulia often experienced while in their home. This is a good start.
