Jakarta, 14:22

The sounding motor soon stopped. A guy in his gray white uniform just parked his bike in the yard. He was immediately greeted by a sight that made his forehead wince in wonder. Hurriedly he sped up the steps all the way to the terrace. The hero still found his father silent, not looking at him. As if he was invisible.

"Well?" he said to the man who was staring blankly, ignoring himself completely. Wira frowned again, she leaned closer to her father's face. His hand waved right in front of Dody but there was no reply. Not even blinking. "Daddy tumben clock is coming home soon? Not working?"

Feeling strange, Wira went into the house, directly to the mother. "Your mother?" His call echoed to every corner of the house. His eyes then found Nilam who had just come out of the bathroom.

"Oh, what's the matter with Dad?"

"Huh? Why how?" confused Nilam.

"Dad ngelamun. Wira ajakin says it's diem."

Soon Nilam walked forward, holding his chest. He still remembers clearly the husband who had a nightmare last night. Plus, early this morning, her husband finally told her that something was wrong. In fact, what makes Nilam even more afraid, is the talk of her husband who digresses everywhere. More like a prankster. Ah, apace. Pamit, pamit, why? Don't think about it, Nile!

"Well?" call Nilam when he gets on the porch. Dody this time turned his head, but his gaze was really not decipherable by either Nilam or Wira.

There, Dody moved from where he was sitting. Go inside the house, go straight to the room and slam the door violently. Nilam and Wira who had been following each other only looked at each other in disbelief and confused. What's with Dody?

Wira, who realized the mother was daydreaming, immediately shook Nilam's shoulder slowly. "They? Why anyway? Dad why?" tanyanya still did not give up. From the look of his mother, he believed there was something Nilam knew.

"It's not easy to understand either, Le..."

Now it was Nilam's turn to go. The hero just stared at his mother's back away, back to back. Maybe he went to the kitchen. So he also chose to pass to his room to change clothes. His mind is still not in trouble. It feels like something is stuck in the heart. His father's attitude was very different. That blank look reminded him of something that had once happened to his friend.

The hero slammed his body into the bed in a recumbent position. His head was still gnawing everywhere. For some reason, he immediately remembered his brother who was still on vacation. Just to ask the news. He almost grabbed the phone in his black jacket pocket, but a call from the front made him turn to the door. After having time to throw a rough breath, Wira also rose.

Right, guess? Willy was sitting on the front porch. It was a friend since childhood. Willy turned his head as Wira followed sitting down. Looking at him, his friend glanced sharply at him.

"Did I come at a bad time, Wir?" willy asked as if he understood the meaning of that gaze.

"Don't be offended. I'm just confused again," replied Wira.

Willy, who had been ready to leave for a moment and gave time to Wira himself, sat back down. "What's wrong?"

"Remain."

The hero changed his sitting position. Lean further to the left where Willy is. His troubled face could no longer be hidden. During this time, Wira never much to tell anyone about anything, especially, what happens in the house. For the hero, everything in the house should not come out. It takes care of the whole thing. But, except for Willy. He believed in his friend that much.

Willy noticed the spirit who was breathing. Impatiently, he immediately opened his voice again. "Why, Wir? Want to tell me nothing?"

The hero looks up, glorifies in the end. "Come, Wil. I'm weird, he was daydreaming. His gaze was empty. I feel.." said Wira hanging the sentence. "...kayak is not my bokap anymore."

Machine sound caught ear. The hero immediately turned his head towards the classic black sedan car that stopped in front of his house. A middle-aged man came out from there. The person he did not know very well because he had only met several times when delivering Salfa to his home to be guided.

Mr. Aji got out of the car and found what he had expected from the beginning. He scanned Wira and Willy alternately with possible gazes, Wira understood. But the guy was not too pushy, now he has moved from his seat and greet Mr. Aji.

"Your mother called me. So I came here," said Mr. Aji before Wira asked. It was as if he could read the mind of the hero.

Not until Wira responded, Nilam came out in haste to meet Pak Aji. "In the room, Pakdhe. My husband's in the room, and the door's locked."

Mr. Aji was even more shocked. Soon he asked Nilam to show him the way to the room. Behind, the hero follows. The guy had a chance to say hello to Willy first, because he knew Willy could not enter his house. In a hurry he followed Mr. Aji. The man knocked on the door to call Dody, but there was no word.

"Dodys? The dod? Open the door, Dod?!"

"Oh, what the hell is this?" asked the Hero who still did not understand when reading the fearful expression on Nilam's face. The mother did not answer, just stared meaningfully and then turned to look again. Increasingly reinforcing his assumption that something was wrong was happening.

"Salfa's sister?" she who somehow immediately remembered her brother.

The hero immediately ran to the room, picking up the cell phone. Type Salfa's name there, and press the green button without waiting long. The broken connection was heard. But there is no truth. Until there was silence when the voice died. The hero is still trying again, even he is holding his chest. It feels really hard to explain. There was an incredible panic attack. In fact, he doesn't even know why.

"Where are you, brother?" muttered furious.

He immediately switched, calling Kinara because according to him, Kinara was always with Salfa. But the same, there is still no answer. Let alone the voice from across the phone saying 'hello', which is even the voice of a female operator who said that her number was not being contacted. Hero swears. More and more clueless with the roar of feeling that was stirring in his chest.

His mind was focused on one thing. If Mr. Aji comes based on his mother's call, there is certainly something else related to things beyond human reason and logic. Wira certainly knows who Mr. Aji is. Understand even. Now, the man looked back at the screen of his phone. Call Vin, because there's only one left he can call. Her other brother's friend, she doesn't know.

"Hello, Wir?" The dashed connection was instantly replaced with a heavy greeting from across. The hero immediately relieved by shutting down for a while.

"Hello, Bang Vin? Are you the same as my brother?"

"Si Salfa?" reply Vin that sounds very silly to Wira.

"Yes, who else?" the answer is still trying to be as calm as possible. "He's the same, right?"

For a moment, no answer was heard. Wira thought Vin was somewhere because it sounded like he was muttering the roar of the vehicle vaguely.

"Hello, Bang?" greet the hero again, and when Vin immediately replied.

"Yes, yes, hello? I'm not the same kid, Wir. They walk alone, I'm in a rented house." Yeah."

"e-don't. I'm on my own."

"OK, okay. Did you tell him he made my phone call? Thanks, Bang."

Wira then decided unilaterally after hearing a brief deheman from Vin as approval for the mandate he gave. The guy then scratches the back of his head that does not itch, it still feels strange. What is this feeling? Why did he suddenly become unsettled? The questions still circled in his head. Wira was also upset.

Until, not yet he can neutralize all that, the sound of dings accompanied by screams makes the focus of the Wira switch. Directions from the father's room. Immediately he slammed his phone on the bed before a moment later darting out of the room.

Apparently the slam was the door that was forced to break by Mr. Aji. The hero could see his father immediately, but he could hardly believe it. His mouth looked up at that. Apparently, his father is no longer his father. Dody is now crawling on a wall that not even science can explain. Wira glanced at his mother, apparently the number one woman in his life that just shouted.

Meanwhile, Wira saw Mr. Aji chanting prayers while continuing to stare at Dody up there. Suddenly the window in the house was closed, leaving minimal lighting because it did not allow sunlight to penetrate. Things got gripping, and this was the second time the Hero saw the tragedy of possession. Earlier at school, he had seen it happen to his friend. Although his friend did not arrive like his father at this time, but his blank stare before possession occurred was exactly the same.

"YOU WANT TO KICK ME OUT, HUH? TRY IT IF YOU CAN!!" said Dody whose voice turned like a double. Dody got down and crawled, preparing to attack Pak Aji but the man immediately held both hands.

Bloods. That's what Wira saw other than the father's eyes that turned black overall. His mouth was spitting out blood that smelled very fishy. Nilam's hand pulled his arm, making Wira immediately turn her head. He followed Nilam's index finger which showed something in shock.

There are a lot of rats. Whether when was in the corner of the room, Nilam did not know at all. Since morning he had not entered the room again because he was busy making pastries ordered by Bu RT. Now, he could only cry. Moreover, when seeing Mr. Aji overwhelmed with her husband.

"OFFICIAL!!" call Mr. Aji while looking, but his hand still holds Dody. "GIVE ME THE ROPE, QUICK!! HURRY, WIR!!"

Hearing that automatically Wira nodded and immediately ran back towards the warehouse. Tearing apart whatever was in there, until his eyes caught a roll of rope on the top shelf. The hero brought a dusty wooden table closer and lifted a bench on it. As he climbed, he was surprised by the sight he got. Like a tape playing, he saw his father's face, smiling yet a sad smile. Because of this sudden shock, Wira could not maintain her balance and fell.

The guy was complaining because his temple hit the end of the table. He immediately crawled to pick up the rope that also fell, and hurriedly stood up again. He limped back to his father's room.

"Sorry, sir, long time. I fell down," Wira said with still moaning in pain.

The focus of Mr. Aji who a moment ago only focused on Dody who was still roaring, now divided right when he saw the bloody Wira. Like getting a whisper from his apprenticeship, Pak Aji knew what Wira was going through.

"Let's help me tie Dody up!" exclaiming Pak Aji later and Wira immediately approached even though the look was very clear showing pity. "Don't look at his eyes!" exclaimed Mr. Aji, and again the Hero just obeyed.

Dody looked at Wira unusually, while his mouth was about to lick the rat's blood. Jin who entered into his body laughed at the spirit who held back crying. "WHAT ARE YOU CRYING ABOUT YOUR FATHER FOR, HA? IT'S POINTLESS! YOUR FATHER WON'T COME BACK, HAHAHAHAHA!!"

"SILENCE!!" reply Mr. Aji with growling. His patience had been drained by the genie. "Don't listen to him, Wir! Don't affect!"

Although the two men had difficulty tying Dody up, they finally succeeded as well. The hero then turned to Nilam who was curled up near the door, hugging his knees while crying. Once stunned, but Wira then approached, embracing the mother with understanding. "Silence, Buk. I'm not gonna do anything, believe it."

Nilam cried even louder in his son's arms. He was uncontrollable for fear of dying. There, Mr. Aji tried to understand but the situation was not good. "Come, we're all out. We lock Dody here. I'll call my teacher. I need the help of my other teachers' students."

●●●●

One black van arrives, stopping behind Mr. Aji's sedan. Some neighbors were seen gathering to whisper to each other because of the screams from inside the house that is now crowded with many people. Dody's House. It was Mr. Aji who welcomed the people in front, while Nilam and Wira chose to remain in the living room, avoiding the neighbors.

One person who was seen leading the other immediately exclaimed loudly. "Where is he?"

Understand that what is meant is Dody, Mr. Aji leads Kyai Sa'id, the teacher. The disciples of Kyai Sa'id who were none other than the children of the boarding school then entered. Just arrived at the door of the room, Kyai Sa'id immediately beristighfar. Although he had not seen it directly, his view that could penetrate the room made him shake. The aura of vengeance was emanated clearly, and as soon as the door opened, Dody immediately shouted against him.

"YOU THINK EIGHT PEOPLE CAN GET ME OUT OF THIS BODY, HUH? JUST TRY!! JUST TRY!!"

Kyai Sa'id was still silent with his hand continuing to scroll one by one the prayer beads in his hand. Still with a straight look at Dody. One hand then encoded on his students and in unison, all chanting verses to expel the genie from Dody's body.

The man who was still in a bound state was roaring incoherently. "BABAAAAASS!! AAARRGGHHH, YOU BRASH!! LOOK, YOU CAN'T GET ME OUT!! AARRGGGH!!"

Leaving his six disciples still chanting the holy verses, Kyai Sa'id encodes on Pak Aji to come with him. The two of them approached Wira and Nilam who were outside the room. With a shady look, complete with a very relaxed countenance, the old man opened the conversation.

"This body, hidden in a distant place, very far away," said Kyai Sa'id who was not understood by Wira and Nilam, but managed to invite a gaze from Pak Aji who could be said to have expected it. Kyai Sa'id continued. "She can't go home and it's hard to be led home. I want to ask, what between his wife and child, was ever told something by Dody, for example about dreams?"

There, Nilam was immediately stunned. But then he nodded. "I, Sir."

"Dody said how?"

"Night, my husband woke up. He said it was a nightmare. He met a man whose face was covered with a hood. The man gave my husband a warning. He said it was about our daughter, Salfa."

DEG! The soul immediately choked up at that instant. Apparently this is the reason he had a panic attack and worried about his brother earlier? Apparently, it has something to do with all this? "Keep telling me what else, Buk?" then ask her mother.

Nilam turned to Wira. He who began to control himself, is now back to crying. "Your father didn't say much, Wir. Not so clear. But, he said, he had to go, d-and it was for Salfa."

Nilam's crying was unstoppable. The mother of two returned to her son's arms. The hero who still does not understand, just trying to provide reinforcement to his mother.

"Hum didn't want to think things through and tell your father that it was just a dream... I'm trying not to think negatively about what your father said... W-now why is it like this, Wir? I don't know at all..."

From Nilam's narration, both Pak Aji and Kyai Sa'id can conclude. That Dody, in fact, knew what was going on, was why as a father he gave himself up and received the genie, in order to replace Salfa from being taken. They exchanged looks with the same thoughts. All of this, it's clear the dispatch of people who hate this family.
