TUMBAL SEVENTH

Astral Projections

🌹🌹🌹

🌷Next POV. Tirta 🌷

“Ta ..” Saying Bayu I stopped with a pat on his shoulder. Om Devandra will panic and hysterical if she hears Tania's name called. While the figure standing in the doorway resembled Tania was still doubtful of its authenticity.

“Why are you guys dumb? Let's find Tania to another room!”

I turned to face Om Devandra. Bayu and Dian.

“Come, Om.” I embrace Om Devandra's shoulder giving her space to look in the doorway. If it was Tania then Om Devandra would have seen it, but the Tania-like figure was no longer in place.

Where the hell is he?

My feelings are starting to get bad. I glanced towards Dian and Bayu, who happened to be the two of them also glanced at me. Dian gestured me with a head gesture to follow Om Devandra's will. We walked back to comb all the rooms.

But strangely, the condition of this house is now much different from what Rania described. According to a story from Om Devandra, Rania told me that this house has residents, namely a woman and a middle-aged man. The condition of the house was well maintained, but now everything is different.

The house is like a house that has been empty for a long time. It's messy dirty, and there's a lot of dry foliage in this house. Is Rania a hallucination? Or is this the homeowner's way of disguising his actions?

“See!”

Om Devandra pointed to a small room located in the corner of the room. Me, Dian and Bayu are approaching.

When I was near the room I felt a very strong negative aura.

“What, Om?” ask Bayu.

“This is the ritual room told by Rania, and that's see there's a photo of Tania as well as 6 other children. Exactly as Rania told you,” is obviously Om Devandra.

I began to grab the photos that were stuck on the wall one by one, and I observed them in such a way.

Right, one of them is a photo of Tania, while the other 6 I don't know her. However, there was one photo that made me think hard.

“Try this photo who? I forgot to remember the child in this photo.”

Bayu immediately grabbed it, and immediately like a possessed person. His body trembled violently, his eyes darted upwards, so that the whites of all his eyeballs. Then it collapsed lying on the floor unconscious.

“Dia why?”

Om Devandra panicked to see Bayu's condition.

“Quiet yes, Om. This is common with Bayu. He's on a magical journey. We call it astral projection.”

I nodded confirming the explanation that Dian gave Om Devandra.

“What are the dangers?”

“God willing, not Om. This has happened to Bayu often. If he will get a vision of the past events then it will be like this,”, I explained. Om Devandra started to calm down a little.

While waiting for Bayu to return from the supernatural. Me, Dian and Om Devandra again combed through the room looking for clues. We believe and believe that as smart as anyone conceals his crimes there must be a trace left behind. Yes, although it is very unlikely. But there is no harm in continuing to try and hope.

The bed, the closet, the drawer, we checked, but we did not find the documents or the identity card of the owner of this house. Looks like the perpetrator has been very professional in running and hiding evidence of his crime.

“Even though Rania is very sure that the perpetrator of Tania's kidnapping is Tini Mbok, but we can't just accuse him without accurate evidence, right?”

Devandra looks so frustrated.

“Iya, Om. Without evidence we can be accused of defamation. There are even we later who are convicted,” I said.

Om Devandra looked down. The corner of her eyes was wet, taking a photo of Tania who was originally lying on a small table near the ritual room.

“Where are you, Nak?” muttered. However, it sounded clear in my ears. After that I saw Om Devandra rubbing the corner of her eye.

“I-it's your friend why?!” pekik Om Devandra, while pointing at Bayu's body convulsing on the floor.

Dian and I then approached trying to call Bayu back from the supernatural, but Bayu's body even more vibrating.

“It's bad, Ta.”

I nodded to Dian. Usually if it is like this then Bayu in nature there gets an attack from astral beings.

“Bad? What happened to your friend?”

“Quiet yes, Om. This is common. God willing, we can handle it.” Dian tried to calm down Om Devandra.

“Terus who will pick up Bayu? Me or you, Ta?”

“Let me just.”

“You sure, Ta?”

I nodded steadily. “Iya, I'm sure,” I said later.

“Later if in a matter of time I have not managed to bring Bayu back, you know ‘kan what you have to do?”

Dian megangguk. “Don't talk like that! You have to be sure, and bring Bayu back. Don't pessimist! Must optimistic. Okay!” dian said, holding onto this shoulder.  She's almost no different from my mother if she's such a smart-ass and adult-assass.

“Iya. Pray for me, yes!”

“Nevent asked too, I always pray for the best for you guys.” Again, Dian patted this shoulder.

Just friends, Dian always said that. That's what makes me risk expressing my feelings to her. Until finally the love that I originally wanted to heal in his heart, now linked to another heart.

“Eh, even dumb. Bayu shuttle hunt!”

I gasp. “Astaghfirullah thing’zim. Yes, forgot.”

I then sat cross-legged beside Bayu's body lying on the floor. My right hand holds Bayu's right hand. I closed my eyes and prayed.

In a matter of seconds my body was like being thrown down the passage of time. Until we get to where Bayu is. In an ancient building.

I panicked, my brain blanked when I saw Bayu being beaten all-out by a huge high demon and on his head grew horns. Blazing red eyes and wide gaping mouth, long teeth. His body was covered with a lot of feathers. Exactly like porcupine feathers.

Without a second thought I immediately tried to save Bayu, but instead we both got an attack from the demon bastard. Bayu and I bounced away until our bodies hit a wall.

We both moaned in pain, while the demon laughed out loud. His laughter echoes deafeningly.

“You think I'm that kind of a deal? I've come all the way here to pick you up. I'm not coming back without you, Bay.”

“But Ta ...”

“No buts. We should try to get back to our world, Bay.” Quickly I will say Bayu.

When I was about to stand closer to Bayu was, and intended to break him. Again I was attacked by the evil devil that my body bounced further and further away from where Bayu was.

I prayed to try to fight the devil, but it felt like nothing. The devil laughed at the prayer I was reading.

“Ta, we read the seat verse together!” take Bayu with a screeching tone, and kuangguki.

When I read the verse of the chair, the devil stepped on the heat. But, after I finished reading the prayer, the demon grew even more furious. It has become more scary than ever. His eyes, mouth, ears, and nose let out a blaze.  And whatever it throws up or sees will burn.

I shook my head in a doldrums. Dismissed is my hope to get out of this magical world.

The devil took a wave about to gush me with fire from his mouth. I could only cross my arms in front of my face preparing to receive an attack. My eyes were tightly closed in horror.

Mind fucked. There's little chance I can bring Bayu back.

“Le, take your friend away from here.”

I slowly opened my eyes after hearing someone speak in front of me. His voice sounded familiar to my ears.

Right, when the eyes have opened wide look familiar figure. Although I only saw his back, but I'm sure he's the figure I've longed for.

“Grandpa!” pekikku joy.

“There's no time, Ta. Quickly take your comrade away from here!” Again, Grandpa gave me orders.

“But Cake, I miss. Let me hug you for a moment, Cake.”

“No Ta time. Quick go!”

I was dumbfounded to see Grandfather so valiantly trying to withstand the attack from that bastard demon.

“Go!”

I gasped at Grandpa's scream. Then with a heavy heart left Grandpa who was exerting all his abilities to fight the demons.

“Let's go home, Bay!” ask me, extending a hand to help him stand up. Then I got in, and we left with a step.

Until when I arrived at a crossroads of light, I was confused to choose which path. If the wrong passageway can be ascertained we will further get lost in this astral realm.

“Lewat here, Ta!”

I heard the voice of a woman from the hall to our left standing, but it was not Dian's voice.

“Don't go through there, danger!”

This time the same sound I heard from the hallway on the right. It made me confused which one to choose. With Bayu. We are just as confused.

“Bay, you're still strong ‘kan?”

Bayu did not reply, his face downcast increasingly pale. Makes me panic. A little late, it is certain that Bayu will not survive.

Dian, call us.

“Tirta, Bayu, did you hear my voice? Quickly back!”

Samar I heard Dian's voice from the hallway that stretched straight in front of us.

“Ayo Bay, this way!” take me.

“I'm no longer strong, Ta.”

“No, you can't give up! You must be strong. Soon we reach our world.”

Bayu shook his head weakly. His face was getting pale.

There's no more time. Immediately I carried Bayu and I took him running down the hallway of light that stretched straight in front of us. Following Dian's voice.

Seconds later it all felt dark. A moment later I opened my eyes and let out a long breath like a person drowning out of oxygen.

“Ta, you are back.”

I turned to my left side, where Dian smiled with relief. Pun Om Devandra's. The corners of their eyes are wet. Then I turned to my right side, where Bayu was still lying unconscious.

If you remember the condition when in the magical realm earlier, the pale one is helpless. I started to worry, afraid that Bayu would not come back.

“Ta, you managed ‘kan, bring Bayu back?”

I looked towards Dian.

I hesitated. “It should work, but why hasn't Bayu realized as well, huh?”

The three of us then tried to resuscitate Bayu by rubbing his hands while continuing to call him. Bayu's body is getting colder I think. Like corpses. I'm getting worried about it.

However, until the seconds passed changing minutes, Bayu was not yet conscious.

“Are we going to lose Bayu for good, Ta?”

Dian's voice sounded raucous. He looks very scared to lose Bayu. I can't answer. I rubbed his shoulders to channel the power. But instead, he was getting sobbing.
