The Old Tree Dwellers

Keep Alert

Kyai Senta, Silo and Kyai Sarwa, were still sitting in the living room, when Madi came home from the hall. Seeing the existence of Kyai Senta, Madi soon found one of the elders of the cottage.

"How are you, Kyai?" sapa Madi while kissing the back of Kyai Senta debgan hands respectfully.

"Alhamdulillah, fine, Madi. Looks like you're okay too" retorted Senta, gently patting Madi on the shoulder.

"Rubber, Kyai. As far as this, Madi's situation is fine."

The four of them immediately engaged in a warm conversation. Moreover, after Madi was introduced to Silo, one of Kenta's kyai students who was the same age as him.

"Silo, this, has the same ability as you, Madi. You can exchange experiences!"

"Well, Kyai," said Madi, giving a smile to Silo.

For a split second, the two looked at each other and each gave a smile.

The warm conversation soon flowed. Until it didn't feel magrib had arrived. The four hurried to take ablution and walked to the musala. Tonight, they will face Jaka and his allies.

"Have long been a student of Kyai Senta, Silo?" ask Madi, after the magrib prayer.

"Nearly three years," he answered while aligning his steps with Madi.

After the magrib prayer, they deliberately went home first, to fill the stomach, because after the matter, will go directly to one place, near the hall.

The room is not too big, a place where students usually talk about something personal with their parents. The room where the santri ask for advice and guidance on the ustad they ask for directions.

After the prayer, from the guests directly to the hall, no longer go back to the dormitory. As directed by kyai Sarwa. There was no exaggerated worry on their faces. Senua. Maybe because they feel safe and believe in Kyai Sarwa.

"So, Bayu, Amir, try to check, if all the students and residents of the cottage are already in the hall!"

Feeling the word, the three men immediately moved, moving into the hall. There are already many people gathered santri and other cottage residents.

Some of the ustads, looking back and forth, checked whether the santri-santri were already in the hall. Meanwhile, the santri who entered, still keep coming.

For about half an hour, Madi and the others checked and confirmed that everyone was in the hall.

"Kang, it seems, all the santri and ustad, are already inside the hall!"

Madi nodded, confirming Bayu's speech. The condition of the cottage residents was already in a resting position. Sleeping mats, such as mattresses have been called. So are the mats and thin foam mattresses . The blanket has also been distributed

After making sure everything went well, Madi, gave the code, to all students, to teach, alternately. Thus, the recitation of the holy verse is unbroken.

"Ustad Amir and Bayu, stay in the hall only!" madi reminded the two. In accordance with the agreed plan from the beginning, they both have to maintain and maintain the condition of all the students in the hall to stay calm.

"Okay, Madi! We'll do everything we can!" ustad Amir said firmly.

Madi nodded, satisfied with Amir's reply. After encouraging each other, finally, Madi came out and saw from the tail of her eyes, the hall door was closed by Bayu and Ustad Amir.

"Alhamdulillah! Already Kyai," said Madi respectfully.

The weather is getting colder now. The wind is getting stronger now. The atmosphere gripped little by little felt. However, with the flow of holy verses of the Quran from the hall, able to dismiss for a moment the gripping atmosphere.

"Kang, it seems, Jaka's army is starting to move!" kyai Sarwa. His old face looked a little anxious.

"Yes, Sarwa. The number is not small. They're a lot of." His older brother, Kyai Senta confirmed the sight.

The four of them began to form a formation, sitting down to make a circle. They can help each other and protect each other.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, along with it, there were a lot of invisible creatures entering the room. Some of them surrounded the hall, trying to penetrate the defenses that had been made by Sarwa and his comrades.

The noise, the creatures heard. Trying to mentally make the residents of the cottage that dwells in the hall fall. Meanwhile, the holy verse of the Qur'an still keeps them, making the creature a little away.

While in the room where Sarwa and the others were, it was crowded with various kinds of astral beings. Jin, pocong, kuntilanak, genderuwo, and other types clustered, revealing their ugly forms.

"He .. he. .., it seems you have reinforcements, Sarwa!" suddenly, my grandmother was already in the room.

"Well, you give up, grandma hunchback. Get all your troops out of here!" Kyai Sarwa said firmly, reminding the hunchback grandmother.

Not to mention that this arch-enemy replied, some invisible creatures began to approach the kyai Sarwa and others. Trying to get into the bodies of the four of them, to be possessed.

"How dare you enter our bodies, feel this!" A hijib blow was issued by Kyai Sarwa. Kyai Senta and others.

Madi held her breath, never seeing so many invisible creatures. It's amazing this Jaka. It had completely fused its heart with these demons.

"Not much talk! Just take our attack!" This time the hunchback grandmother led the astral creature to attack Kyai Sarwa and the others.

When Madi, busy serving Jaka's allies, Nang tau-tau was in front of him.

"Desh ...." A punch from Nang that suddenly it almost hit Madi. Lucky punch grandson hunchback was missed, sedik menceng je next to Madi's body.

"You should be more careful, Madi!" ejek Nang's.

Madi smiled weakly, not replying to her words. He was busy dodging the attacks of some makhlus hakus who wanted to enter his body. The recitation of remembrance, the verses of several letters continue to be read, strengthening the defense as well as dispelling the invisible creature.

"Already, Madi. Just give up, now!" Again, Nang tried to break Madi's guts.

This time, Madi gave a punch leading to a hunchback granddaughter who always bothered him.

"Of ...." Their blows collide. Both bring out energy within. An unbalanced fight actually. Madi fought Nang and also many refined beings, allies of the young man.

Nang seemed to recede a few steps, Madi too. It's just that, Madi's position is more stable than Nang who is a little shrewd.

The attack that turned out to be sure aroused Nang's anger. He attacked Madi. This time, Nang did not want to let his guard down. His allies continue to help Nang, trying to disrupt Madi's concentration. So stressful. May Madi survive.
