TUMBAL NURSING HOME

CHAPTER 98 IS A STRUGGLE.

Sintia was terrified to see Grandpa Dodit's pocong form. He gulped roughly before trying to get up. But the figure of the pocong in front of him darted quickly closer to him. From a distance came the sound of Riko screaming.

"Read the prayer Sin, inget the same God. All this time we are too far from God to be unaware of the circumstances around. Don't be afraid Sin, fight with the holy verses!" Pekik Riko who is in the excavation of the land.

Sintia's body trembled violently with cold sweat pouring out. He breathed a long breath while raising his hands up.

Bismilbornrahmanirrahim's.

"Allahu laa ilaaha illaa huwal hayyul qoyyuum, laa ta’khudzu sinatuw walaa naum..." Say Sintia reciting the verse of the chair, but the reading is never complete until it is finished.

Confused Sintia ran towards the living room, but her steps were back in the pocong block. This time he again spit in the direction of Sintia. But unfortunately his arm was hit by a splash of spit pocong that. Sintia's blistering arm let out a thin smoke, which made her skin gaping revealing reddish-colored flesh mixed with black blood. As soon as Sintia cried, she held onto her arm which was unbearably sick. From behind the wooden window was a peeking eye.

"Fight Sin... Fear not! You will definitely not be able to finish the prayer reading if in your heart there is still fear. You read prayer not to ask for protection from God, but you read prayer because you are afraid of the pocong. That is why you will never be able to complete a prayer reading. Come Sin fight your fear, and face the creature bravely!" Jerit Rania's out the window.

Hearing Rania's words made Sintia's courage appear. He wiped away the tears and sweat that soaked his forehead. He resigned himself while raising his hands up. Starting with the basmallah reading, Sintia finally uttered the verse of the chair calmly and sincerely. His eyes closed asking for God's protection and power to protect him from Grandpa Dodit's pocong. As soon as he finished reciting the verse of the chair, there came a gentle whisper of a strange man in his ear.

"Everything that comes from fire must be fire." Whisper of someone invisible.

Sintia finally understood, if he had to burn the figure in front of him without fear as before, when the figure of Grandpa Bimo burned because of a match accidentally hit him. And as soon as Sintia ignited the fire with a sincere prayer, the fire completely burned the hollow body of Grandpa Dodit's pocong figure. He floundered before finally being charred to ashes.

"Sin we just change positions. I dug the ground, and found some packages formed by pocongs. But I can't find a match anywhere. Well this is how there is smoke from the former fire, where did this fire come from Sin?" Said Riko whose breath was panting from tired of digging the ground.

"There's no time for Ko to explain, I brought her matches. You can't go to that door, let me burn all the boghuls!" Said Sintia while running to the back garden.

The sound of Widia's screams interfered with her concentration. Sintia was worried and wanted to run to the ritual room. But he remembered the message of his great-grandmother.

"Focus Sin! You have to finish your job! Widia will be fine!" The inner Synthetics in his heart.

Seen some bughul next to the mound of land that succeeded in digging Riko. All the boghul looked wet, so Sintia had trouble burning it. Finally he brought all the bughul to the kitchen, some wooden blocks were taken to liven up the fire in the furnace. And all the bughul put together with the wood into the furnace. His strategy worked too. The fire grew perfectly, though all the boghuls had not yet been charred to ashes. After making sure the fire was not extinguished, Sintia forcibly opened the door of the ritual room. Seemed a sight that cut his heart. Widia was already lying limp on the wooden couch. On his left and right sides were several coconut shells used to hold blood flowing quite profusely from his wrist. Widia was still half conscious, she was heard asking for help in a soft voice. There was a ghostly figure dressed in kebaya that sucked his blood. Sintia quickly took action by reading the chants of the holy verse while resting on her feet, then lit a match thrown towards the figure of Nek Windu.

Whuuusdw...

The fire burned the elderly ghost to ashes. There was a hysterical Mariyati scream. He cried bitterly to see an elderly figure that was successfully scorched by Sintia. He was enraged and ordered Dina to capture Sintia. Mariyati recites a mantra to reflect the soul of Sintia connected to the bughul that she thinks still exists. But unfortunately all those boghuls were already crushed into ashes. Mariyati tilted her head as she walked closer to Sintia. From a distance of ten steps, Mariyati stopped and grabbed Sintia by the neck. Miraculously, despite not touching his neck, Sintia can feel a giggle that makes it difficult to breathe. His body shot up into the air, and he nearly suffocated to death. However there were two ghostly figures that shot through the walls of the room. Two male ghosts who tried to stop Mariyati strangled Sintia.

Bruugh...

Sintia fell down, he did not care about the pain in his body but instead tried to remove the rope that binds Widia's legs and hands. Dina did not stay still, she immediately grabbed Sintia's hair. There is a struggle between the two. And accidentally Sintia kicked Dina's stomach. Dina screeched in pain, then rolled on the floor. Blood flowed down her calves, making Dina scream hysterically. Mariyati is still busy controlling the two ghostly figures who are trying to attack her, so she does not realize if Dina is in a state that needs help. While Sintia became shocked to see Dina's condition. He stood still forgetting his original purpose to help Widia.
