The Old Tree Dwellers

There's Another Waiter

There seemed to be something strange about the mysterious figure. Made Madi even more curious. Once this he was determined to find a clue as to who exactly the figure was.

“Kang, what crowd was there

home front?” Madi gave a small smile in response to Aulia's question, for a moment she was new

just get home.

Aulia loosened her head, intending to see the situation outside. Madi himself was in a dilemma.  Want to explain the truth, afraid to make his wife even more afraid. However, if not explained can make Aulia ask constantly.

“There was an unidentified female corpse found under the old tree earlier, Dek,” finally Madi told the truth too. At first, Aulia was very surprised. It even made those simple female eyebrows up until they lifted up. However, slowly he was able to also neutralize his shock earlier.

“That's a pity, yes, Kang. There's someone so nice. Killing pregnant women.” Aulia spilled all the frustration through her signature grunt. A smile on Madi's lips. Amused, look

aulia's lips until the monyong so.

Madi did not respond too much to Aulia's words, fear later spread everywhere. He only suggested that Aulia immediately take ablution. Azan zuhur is coming soon. Moreover, his stomach was rumbling to be filled. The last meal was around 10 a.m., eating provisions brought from home.

Towards the magrib, the atmosphere around the residence began to be quiet. Many of the doors of the house were closed this afternoon. Fear began to fall on the people around the old tree. Especially when there was a murder incident. The cold, also increasingly makes residents reluctant to leave the house.

Madi felt a lot of negative air surrounding their residence. Even now it's getting stronger. He can detect that the strength of the creatures strengthened since the murder of the pregnant woman.

What indeed, the murder was intentional to be made a sacrifice or an offering to the inhabitants of the old tree? Is there a reciprocal as well. Madi shook her head, trying to throw away the thoughts that had been penetrated earlier. However, it takes time to uncover the truth behind all of these events.

“Kang, Adek to the bathroom first. It's almost magrib. Take wudhu. Akang is not good bengong so, while looking at the old agker tree!”

Aulia's warning, quickly resuscitated Aulia. It is true said Aulia, it is not good to be pensive for too long when so many negative energies are wandering, because the gate of darkness is wide open. He then followed Aulia, taking ablution,

clean up before facing the Khalik.

Before the azan magrib, Madi sat quietly on the prayer mat. He always took the time to recite before the magrib. It was useful to thicken the magical fence that will later fortify them from the attack of the creatures of the old tree dwellers.

Magrib had not yet arrived, but a single attack had already been launched on him. However, this time not from those creatures, but from humans. It seems to be a stranger

and that mystery. The attack was violent and sudden. If not ready, of course could make Madi hurt inside.

For nearly ten minutes, Madi frowned fervently. He himself did not want to open communication with the person, because the time of prayer magrib will soon arrive. Of course, there will not be enough time to pry the description and existence of the mysterious creature.

“Kang, already azan, tuh!” heard Aulia's words to break Madi's remembrance. Madi then got up, fixed the slightly tangled sheath. While Aulia had also stretched the prayer rug, and stood behind her.

They both perform the prayer procession with khusuk.  With prayer can fortify themselves from the temptation of invisible creatures. Especially later when they tease in a scare way, Madi and Aulia are mentally prepared. So, it would not be too afraid anymore if they just suddenly came.

While Aulia began to open the Quran and teach in a soft voice. Murotal sound from the speakers, while they turn off first.

When Madi was preoccupied with zikir, a very strong wind suddenly hit the roof of the house, like the sound of solid objects falling on the roof. Aulia is still teaching, and so is Madi.

Perhaps because it was more accustomed to the various forms of interference from the creatures, making the couple did not care much about it. The usual fear that haunts Aulia also seems to have

starting diminishing.

When Madi and Aulia were focusing on their respective work, suddenly there was a very foul smell. Like the smell of rotten meat. Aulia suddenly became nauseous. His stomach was shaken and wanted to vomit.

Madi immediately approached Aulia, rubbed her face gently and whispered a few verses in the pregnant woman's ears. Little by little the nausea that had attacked, began to disappear.

A large sweat of corn kernels seemed to adorn Aulia's forehead. A really uncomfortable distraction. Aulia sighed, grateful to have managed to escape from the disturbance of that very pungent smell.

Grateful, this time, the attack was only a very foul smell. A distinctive aroma signifies the presence of a dark-bodied figure, also high. It didn't last long either. Can't stand it, with Madi's positive energy.

Until the time of the prayer, the smell was still smelled, but not as strong as before. There are still traces.

And when entering the isha prayer, Madi and Aulia again did it solemnly. Trying to fortify themselves from the attack of the old tree dwellers.

After Isha's prayer, while they were eating dinner, Aulia asked what was bothering her.

Madi did not immediately answer Aulia's question. He still continues to eat rice dishes, complete with side dishes.

"Don't listen, huh?" aulia asked with an annoyed mimic.

Madi smiled again, understanding his wife's impatience. It was intentionally

buy time, because it could be the influence of the creatures who inhabit the old tree.

"Yes, patience, Deck! Akang, finish the meal first. Ntar sprain." Madi, finally making a sound as well, asked Aulia to be patient for a moment.

Hearing her husband's cry, Aulia no longer urged. Sitting sweetly in the chair in which he sits. Usually Madi will continue to advise there is also his heart if he does not stop asking.

After dinner, Aulia tried to clean and tidy up the dining table. He did not realize, there was, one female figure, following him to the back.

Aulia did not know at all, that the spirit of the woman had followed her from earlier. Madi himself had also hesitated, telling this truth to Aulia.
