The Old Tree Dwellers

Start Standby

Madi began to be on standby, coordinating with Bayu and Ustad Amir. Tonight, all the students should be in the hall.

"Yu, how are the preparations for tonight? Have all the santri been directed to stay in the hall?"

"Already, Kang. Bayu and ustad Amir have been around, conveying the message of kyai Sarwa and kang Madi."

"Thank God, Yu. Then, we just need to tidy up the hall and prepare food and drinks for dinner tonight!"

Bayu nodded. And so did Ustad Amir. Rushing they headed to the hall, preparing mattresses and blankets for the need to stay the students. There were also some students who helped them.

While the arrival of Kyai Senta with one of his students named Silo, has arrived at the house of Kyai Sarwa. The meeting that made the two brothers embrace.

"Alhamdulillah, God still brings us together, Sarwa," said Kyai Senta after releasing his embrace. Kyai Sarwa nodded, happy to mix haru.

"Yes, Kang. Thank God, we can still be in touch, face to face, even though it is enough to not visit each other." Kyai Sarwa chimed in on Kyai Senta earlier.

"Oh, yes, Sarwa. Here, Silo, one of my students." Kyai Senta introduces his student Silo to Kyai Sarwa.

"Welcome to the cottage, Silo. Thank God, your arrival will be of great help here."

Silo nodded at the words of Kyai Sarwa, thanking her for receiving them with open arms.

"So, where are you, Sarwa? I didn't see him" asked Kyai Senta, after realizing that Madi wasn't with Kyai Sarwa.

"He was with the santri and the ustad, preparing some things and supplies for the night."

"Alright, we better rest for a moment, restore energy during the trip earlier." Kyai Senta with Silo was finally intervened by Kyai Sarwa to rest. Soon the Ashar prayers, they also did not have more time. Perhaps, with a little rest, recovering energy, the condition of the two of them would return to normal.

In the hall, Madi also continued to recite remembrance, thicken the occult fence, the protector of all residents of the cottage, especially the students.

Some of the miberal drinks and cardboard boxes containing snacks, were also neatly arranged in all corners. That is to make it easier for all students to take food and drink, so they no longer leave the room.

Murotal was still being played, making some sort of defense against invisible beings who would try to enter, making a noise.

"Kang, it seems like our preparation is enough," said Bayu senbari leaning against the wall. Feeling tired, approaching him for a moment.

"Yes, Yu. It feels like we've done enough to make preparations" Madi replied, smiling to see Bayu leaning against the wall.

"Capek ...?" madi asked, approaching Bayu and sitting next to him.

"Yes, Kang, be good," replied Bayu, now jumping into his two legs.

"Yes, already. You, just rest. After that, get ready to pray ashar."

Bayu nodded. Ustad Amir also followed in their footsteps, sitting to the right of Bayu, sitting on his feet with his body leaning against the wall. While some of the students who helped, excuse me to go back to the dorm. Prepare for the Ashar prayer.

"Hopefully tonight everything goes according to plan. It's a fear, too, that we can't stand against Jaka's kang allies."

"Yes, Yu. Akang, hope so too. What about ustad Amir. Is she still tired?" Madi, shifted his talk to ustad Amir who sat on the right side of Bayu.

Back Madi nodded at the words of Ustad Amir. Madi Jiga hopes his own condition is also in prime condition.

In the house of Kyai Sarwa, after resting for a while, kyai Senta felt like someone was constantly watching their movements.

For a moment, Kyai Senta closed his eyes, looking for who was spying on them Turns out Jaka, a former santri and student of kyai Sarwa.

Kyai Senta's breath, it sounded so long, yelled kyai Sarwa. Especially after being told that Jaka has always been free to spy on their movements easily, because there is no protection at all.

Finally, Kyai Senta also proposed to obscure the clarification of Jaka, so that he could no longer see what was happening in the cottage. Kyai Sarwa agreed, not denied. The leader of this pindok, so sure that this time his brother, kyai Senta already felt it.

After that, kyai Senta, finally helped kyai Sarwa close Jaka's vision, looking up at their activities. Apparently, all this time Jaka can freely observe all their activities in the cottage because there is no protective covering.

"Sarwa, it should have been, that Jaka you didn't accept being a santri here!"

"Why, Kang? Wasn't he always nice and polite?" Kyai Sarwa asked not understanding the question of her feet earlier.

"Indeed his demeanor was always courteous, but it was actually to cover up his cunning and envious nature."

Kyai Sarwa returned pensive, not expecting that one of his mainstay santri turned around to betray him.

"Maybe, it was one of my faults, Kang. Let ... what matters now, we both try to get rid of it." Kyai Sarwa finally said, resigned to the situation that is now being faced.

"Yes, Sarwa. This is all the destiny we have to accept. Now, get ready to help me, close the veil of vision, so, that Jaka is no longer willing to observe our activities here!"

Kyai Sarwa and Kyai Senta also start a dhikr and install a kind of protection that will block the view of Jaka and the hunchback grandmother, their sworn enemies.

One of Senta's kyai students, Silo, helped kyai Senta and kyai Sarwa. Silo's ability need not be doubted. He is also the same as Madi, both have supernatural abilities and canuragan that can be relied upon.

They are both very much expected kyai Sarawa and kyai Senta to paralyze Jaka and his allies, the creatures of the supernatural world.

In one place, Jaka looks very furious, knowing his vision has been limited by kyai Senta and Sarwa. He did not stop nagging, condemning the actions of kyai Senta and Sarwa.

"How is it, Nyai. The two kyai put up a veil, protecting the hut from our vision?"

With a sigh, Jaka looks like complaining to an old lady and hunchback.

"Leave it, Jaka. We can still see their movements, just not as fast as yesterday" The hunchback grandmother tried to calm Jaka.

"How are we doing tonight, Nyai?" Jaka asked back. He began to tuck a hint of doubt into his heart.

"Not to worry, Jaka. We give up all those subtle-creatures, after magrib. Where our strength is full and the darkness is wide open."

Jaka can breathe a little relieved.d

He again tried to pump his spirit. Defeat all his enemies_enemies. Hopefully with the help of Kyai Senta and Silo, the spirits can be expelled.
