Happy Reading's...

"Stop...!"
Anji was seen roaring in pain in the corner of the classroom. Children who are possessed are immediately taken to school musala. While Raja, Robi, Mr. Aaron, the gym teacher and Anji are still in the classroom. The school guards secure the front of the class so that the excited children would want to see could not get any further.
"Bi, help me get this hat!" exclaim King.
Mr. Harun knew there was something strange with the hat, he tried to reach the hat from the head of Anji who did not come off. Robi and the sports teacher along with the King hold Anji's body which is still struggling.
Suddenly, a puff of black smoke came out from Anji's body. The shape of the subtle creature showed its sinister figure. Mr. Aaron chanted some holy verses of the Quran to make the evil jinn figure feel hot and burning.
They saw the longer the body of the creature was burning more and more fire until finally he continued to become smoke and disappeared. All students who had been possessed were immediately aware and healed by themselves. Although their bodies were tired and looked bruised from hitting anything around them. Mr. Aaron grabbed the hat and set it on fire.
"This must have been the ghost of the back gardener, sir," said Pak Agus his school's sports teacher Raja.
"No, Sir! They do not bother, they are good they also have a ghost school in the back garden" said the King who was immediately laughed at by Mr. Agus and Robi.
Mr. Aaron also smiled at the King, but he knew what the boy said was true. The bully genie was from the hat Anji was wearing, and it was not from the Jin who was behind the school.
"I will say hello to the headmaster to call people pinter to drive out the ghosts" said Mr. Agus.
"So, all the children who are first in each class will be gathered so, sir, to drive out the ghosts?" asked Robi with her innocent face.
"If you don't understand it, Bi!" whispered King.
"Don't be like that, just do tahlilan to pray the lost spirits to return to calm there, after all if we don't interfere, they are also not disturbed," said Mr. Harun.
"Lho, the proof is that they make disciples possessed," refuted Mr. Agus.
"That evil genie from this kid's hat I burned earlier, where did he get it from?" ask Mr. Aaron to Robi.
The boy was holding Anji's unconscious body.
"After my house, sir, in the duren garden deck" replied Robi.
"Hmmm.. tell your mama to pray, ask for protection with Allah so that no evil jinn will enter the house later," Pinta Pak Harun.
"Bikin selamatan kayak tahlilan in school later that, sir?" ask Robi.
"If your parents are capable, go ahead. Azan dzuhur has been heard, let's pray together!" bring him.
The king smiled in awe at Mr. Aaron, but something bothered him and made him flinch when he saw the shadow of the kindly religious teacher did not appear in the reflection of the classroom window as he stepped towards the musala.
"Sir, can I talk to you?" ask King.
"What is your ability to see ghosts? I have known for a long time, I can see you are a different and special child" he said, smiling warmly at the King.
"The father knows about me apparently, but there is more I want to talk about" said the King.
Then the child tells about his ability to predict the death of someone who will come closer if he can see the image of the person in the mirror. Mr. Aaron nodded as he responded while smiling at the King.
"I did not see the image of the Father in the mirror" said the King lowered his head and did not feel tearful.
"King, the fate of one's death has been determined by God, whenever in any circumstance. When the time is up in this world it is over, go back to the divine place, can not be prevented" said the warm-faced and shady man.
"But I don't like to be given a look like this if I can't prevent that person's death, I don't like huhuhu...!"
The king hugged Mr. Aaron for a moment while crying. The middle-aged man patted the boy on the back.
"Father sure the King is a strong son, a great son, give up all the same God, Ja."
Robi pulls Anji's conscious arm towards the musala. They saw her friend embracing a religious teacher while crying.
"King why, Bi?" asked Anji whose body still feels weak and tried to survive by holding Robi's arm while walking.
"Don't let the king get possessed again, hiiyyy.." replied Robi.
"The bad trance that I want to separate, the father of the religious teacher wants to change schools, huh?" ask Anji.
"No idea!" sahut Robi's.
Both approached the king. The boy wiped his tears and took off his embrace from Mr. Aaron.
"Come, we pray!" bring Mr. Aaron.
The three children followed the steps of the religious teacher. Some other students and some male teachers went to the musala and were about to perform the prayer dzuhur congregation.
"I don't know, I feel sad again" said the King.
"Why sad, because of me, huh?" ask Anji.
"No, Nji, let's start praying, '" said the King.
Salat dzuhur Raja and others were led by Mr. Aaron as a priest. However, when he was on the second prostration before the final superstition, the priest did not want to say Allahu Akbar. Finally Mr. Agus raised his head and checked the situation of the priest.
Mr. Agus touched the shoulder of Mr. Aaron who immediately lay lifeless. He breathed his last while he was a priest at school. The king and the others immediately wept over Mr. Aaron's body.
