The Old Tree Dwellers

Preparation to Return Home

Madi was at her in-laws' house for about three days. After seeing the state of Aulia's physical and mental health continue to improve, Madi and Aulia decided to return, returning to their home. This was conveyed by Madi and Aulia, in the morning, after three days of Madi's return.

"Sorry, Dad, Mom. Akang Madi and Aulia want to say something," said Aulia slowly. A sweet and gentle smile perched on her lips.

"What's up Aulia?" her mother asked

"Look, Mom. Lia and Akang Madi plan to go home tomorrow, if you don't mind."

Aulia's father and mother looked pondering, like they were thinking of something. Especially Aulia's mother who often felt anxious about the condition of Aulia, her only daughter.

"Is your condition really ready, Lia?"

"Lia's ready, Mom. Just pray Auiia's situation gets stronger." Aulia tried to ease her mother's worries.

"Yes, Mom I also can't possibly let Dik Aulia why." Madi chimed in, affirming his wife's statement earlier.

"It seems like they have to go home, Mom. Long time here, later they both even lost their livelihood."

Aulia's mother nodded, seeming to agree with her husband's words. It was true what Aulia's father said. It's been a while, the child's stall and son-in-law's closed. If allowed to continue to close, their customers will run Surely it will be difficult to gather customers again.

"Alright, Lia. You guys can go home. But, on one condition. You guys need to stay alert. Salat five time do not stay. And one more thing, you two should call Mom and Dad right away, if anything happens!"

"Thank you, Mom. Lia will remember all of Mom's messages!"

"Yes, Mom. Madi will also check and supervise Dik Lia's condition at all times."

After hearing the words of the two children and their daughter-in-law, the two Aulia parents became convinced to release their return. They, sure Madi will be able to take good care of Aulia.

"If you insist on going home, Mom and Dad won't force you to stay here any longer. You can go home tomorrow."

"Thank you, Miss Lia promised, I'll take care of Lia's condition as best I can."

Mother Aulia smiled, hugging her daughter warmly. Trying to take the princess off with sincerity.

Madi thanked him for the permission given by his father and mother-in-law. That meant, with the blessing they gave, he and his wife, Aulia would have an easier time facing all the obstacles. Including the disturbance from the old tree dwellers.

"Yes, already. You guys, have breakfast first. After that, clean up all your needs to go home tomorrow."

Madi and Aulia nodded, starting breakfast and returning to activities as usual. Madi, planning to go home first, to clean the house. Tomorrow the house is clean.

After saying goodbye, Madi drove forward, heading to her house near an old tree. It wasn't too late, when he entered the house. The sun was shining unbearably hot.

"Home, Madi?" reprimand one of his neighbors whose house is next to Madi's house. Although the location of the house there is quite a wide distance, but, it does not hinder to stay in touch. Greet each other.

Kang Ujang, the next door neighbor, stared with a smile. I was happy because Madi was home. That means, the disturbance of the old tree dwellers will not be as scary as the previous nights.

"Oh, thank goodness. If you need help, just say it. I'm not going anywhere today either."

Madi nodded, smiling, thanking her neighbor for the offer. Then, he slowly entered the house. Open doors and windows wide to let fresh air in. This house has been abandoned long enough.

The young pregnant woman's spirit was standing in one of the rooms, looking at Madi who was cleaning the house. The dust has indeed thickened, attached to the furniture of the house.

"Hatchi ... hatchi ...," many times, Madi sneezed, inhaled the dust that stuck.

All the furniture was cleaned one by one. Cabinets, chairs, curtains, even blankets, pillowcases, all washed clean. Madi does not want Aulia to feel uncomfortable because the house is dirty and dusty.

Hopefully this is a good start for their lives later, whispered Madi Lirih. Not to forget also Madi continues to rotate murotal, cleaning the house of supernatural things.

Long enough Madi struggled with brooms, pengki and other hygiene equipment. Towards the Ashar prayer, Madi finally finished cleaning. Lunch has also been finished in his meal. Staying to perform the Ashar prayer, after that just returned to the home of Aulia's parents.

During the cleaning of the house, Madi could feel a negative aura coming from the direction of the old tree. However, Madi did not bother him. Just keep working while turning murotal.

After the Ashar prayer, Madi rushed back to close the windows that had been wide open. From the tail of her eyes, she could still see the young pregnant woman's spirit was in the living room, looking at her.

After feeling the state of the house is quite clean, Madi decided to return to Aulia's parents' house. By magrib, he had already arrived there.

Again, as soon as he was about to leave the house, the negative aura emanating from the old tree was felt again. For so many times, Madi ignored him, stayed focused on driving, driving his vehicle.

An unexpected attack from the old tree dwellers was brushed aside. Currently, Madi is not willing to serve the inhabitants of the old tree. She had to get to her in-laws' house soon, so that Aulia wouldn't worry.

A hijib and Madi dhikr release also finally when passing through the old tree. From the sight of his inner eyes, he could see the old tree dweller looking at him with fury.

'Right now, I don't want to serve you. Just wait, there will come a time when you feel my hijib, said Madi held back.

It is true that Madi said, he needed preparation to face all the inhabitants of the old tree. Otherwise, they will fail again, there are even casualties.

Not yet magrib, Madi has arrived back at her in-laws' house. Aulia was waiting for her presence from earlier.

"Alhamdulillah, Akang has arrived" said Aulia, glad to see her husband entering the house after saying his greetings.

"Yes, Brother. Alhamdulillah, you can still pray magrib at home," said Madi, smilingly stepping towards the bathroom. Self-cleaning, taking ablution as the beginning of preparation for performing the magrib prayer.

Aulia followed her husband Madi's steps, heading to the bathroom, taking ablution and simultaneously heading for a special room for their family to pray Magrib congregation.

There, Aulia's father and mother were waiting, ready to perform the magrib prayer together. Degrees to the Khalik to be given protection and blessing.
