The Old Tree Dwellers

Towards the Cottage

Aulia looked at her husband's departure

woefully. This morning, Madi is indeed going to go to the boarding school, which is,

meeting kyai Sarwa. After a long time of planning, it was finally possible today

implemented.

“Kang, when it's over, khabari Adek soon, yes!” Aulia's voice sounded slightly trembling. Withstanding crying. As a wife, Aulia could feel the danger lurking around her husband along the way. From a series of frequent stories

he heard, the mysterious figure often attacked suddenly and greatly endanger the safety of Madi, her husband.

“Iyaa, Deck. Don't worry. Akang must be fine. Don't forget to keep chanting the prayer that I taught you yesterday!” Change Madi reminded Aulia. Indeed Madi should be anxious considering Aulia is quite vulnerable to be bullied by astral beings that threaten her life to be used

tumbal.

Aulia nodded, encouraging Madi. She did not make her husband worry too much.  Especially considering the journey that must be taken by the husband quite long and far. And after letting go of Madi, Aulia went back into the house. Continuing his activity twists the muuurotal and recites some prayers in the heart. Prevent the astral creature from harming him by disguising himself as Madi who has just departed.

 While reading the prayers, there was a subtle knock on the door. There was also a voice similar to Madi. Aulia's heart immediately thumped. It seems like her husband's words

proven now. The creatures seemed like they would still try to disturb him in various ways.

Slowly, Aulia walked up to the door, peering first through the glass window, who was the one who knocked on the door. How shocked Aulia was. There was a man exactly once with Madi, her husband, standing there. It's just that the car he was driving while leaving was not visible.

Directly remembered with the message of her husband, Aulia continuously chanting prayers to ward off the interference of the uninvited creature. Sure enough, in the sight of Aulia, who was standing in front of the door was the figure of a jet-black and large tall creature. All the surfaces of his body were overgrown with dense fur. Aulia instantly goosebumps and is scared. Not expecting to see the apparition of the monstrous creature.

The creature also looked more agitated. Keep pacing back and forth, trying to call Aulia as well as her parents. However, having received a message from Madi, none of them would open the door.

Over time the creature was like heat. Moreover, Aulia still continues to read the prayers that Madi had taught yesterday. Can not stand, finally the creature that resembles Madi, her husband was finally disappeared just like that.

The creature's departure again shocked Aulia. Totally beyond his expectations. At first, Aulia felt a little

dreaded. However, after passing through this event, it finally grew courage

and the belief, that he too can get through this period of concern.

“Already gone, Lia, the creature?” Aulia's mother asked while peeking out from the glass window.

 “Alhamdulillh, noah, Mom. Hopefully not

her daughter. It is true what Aulia said, hopefully there will be no more interference from these invisible creatures.

Meanwhile, on the way to the boarding school, Madi is also experiencing interference and attacks from a mysterious figure who does not want Madi to arrive safely to the boarding school. When the trip was past the village where Aullia's parents lived, Madi passed a sawangan, a place covered by thick scrub.. When passing there, drowsiness very suddenly attacked Madi.

On the left right side there is a deep gap. Several vehicles were reported to have been mired in it. It could be due to drowsiness

those creatures. Lucky Madi could immediately wake up and immediately pull over

the vehicle was right on the side of the road, barely getting into the abyss.

The feathers of Madi immediately stood up. In the vision of his inner eyes was seen the mysterious figure looking at him sharply with a mocking smile. Not far from that figure there was a hunchback grandmother also laughing chuckling at him.   Madi's getting stuck.  The grandmother was the owner of several gifts that were often encountered when she used to follow the kyai Sarwa of the cottage

pesantren, eradicating the practice of indulgence that unsettles residents.

What is the relationship of the hunchback grandmother with a mysterious figure who is often present and attacks her. Was he his disciple or follower? Why can they go together? Madi shook her head, trying to string together every possible possibility, Then, the questions kept spinning in her mind. Ask for the right answer.

While behind the hunchback grandmother were some invisible creatures disguised as locals. Some were selling along the way by opening huts to rest. Their average faces were horrible and shattered. But there are also those who have a full and charming face.

All are ready to tempt humans who have a thin faith. This place is famous as a place to demand pesugian and has taken many casualties.  Maybe for ordinary people will not believe that some of the sellers who are around the place are not humans but astral beings who are ready to plunge humans into their followers. Only certain people can see their presence.

Madi then immediately rubbed his face and continued to contemplate in his heart, asking for help and guidance that only God alone, in order to escape the disturbance of the mysterious figure. Slowly, the drowsiness that had attacked earlier began to disappear. The figure of the hunchback old grandmother and the mysterious man also disappeared. Only a few other astral beings still survive in some gubugs,

disguised as a food vendor.

However, after seeing Madi started to move

from the car, one by one the creature disappeared, leaving behind a hut-gubug

the quiet and dark. It is a strange and confusing mirage, for those who do not have the ability of the sixth sense.

But that is the work of these creatures. Always make the passersby there become victims of the loss of benefits from humans who have allied and made a treaty with them.

Really horrible. If only humans were stronger in faith, of course they would not be easy to reign. To rule over man, to weaken man's faith.

Their way can also be by way of teasing, influencing, the human mind that is careless.

After giving thanks and istifghar, Madi slowly turned on the car engine. Press the gas pedal and leave the place. From the rearview he saw the creatures there were again filling the gubugs along the way, trying to mislead the humans who were careless. Hopefully not many are affected by their disorder.
