This story is just fictitious. All events that occur are free authors' essays, not actually occurring in the places and locations mentioned......

Just as dawn came, all the belongings and suitcases that were originally in the rental car that were all damaged, had been moved to another car. Vin gave the compensation money as responsibility for Mr. Beni's car, but he refused under the pretext, "Wong I did nothing for you guys anyway, so let me now help as much as I can. What happens let it happen, it's not all your fault either."

Luckily, their friend—Gopal, got Pak Beni as the owner of the vehicle they used. Good people always try to help when they are in trouble. Mr. Beni also gave Gopal ID to Vin, because the group will soon return to Jakarta.

"Thank you very much, sir. We will never forget the help of the Father, also Si Mbah," said Vin who then turned to old men who stood nearby. "I hope our friendship will continue."

The Mbah nodded. "God willing. Now, get going."

Salfa, Genta, Kinara, and Vin, are escorted by Beni to the hospital where their two friends, Novan and Gopal, are located. Fortunately, there was no signal interference so they could contact Novan. Their friend was apparently waiting in front of the ER. Salfa immediately jumped out right after the car stopped, approaching Novan hurriedly.

"Where's Gopal? Gopal's okay, right?" salfa asked in a panic on Novan. The question struck like lightning as if it did not give Novan time to answer. "Gopal's fine, isn't it, Van? Answer!"

Novan nodded with a slight smile that he gave off. "She just realized that dawn. It's still in the ER."

"Yes, let's go there" said Salfa by pulling Novan's arm to immediately show the way. While being pulled, it accidentally saw Kinara's hand being linked to Vin's. So tight. Slightly stunned, as a strange sigh spread filled his chest quickly. "Come, Van, hunt!" salfa said again, shifting his focus.

Novan showed the way by enduring the turmoil in his chest. From what he saw, Kinara and Vin seemed to have had a change. Of jealousy? Yeah, it seems like it. Novan did not avoid that he felt that. But, of course, now is not the time to think about it just yet. Gopal even just survived death, let alone the astonishing things that happened to him until he managed to reach the hospital is still clearly twisted in his head.

Apparently, in the room that Gopal occupied, the young man was chatting with a boy. Their hands fought each other forming scissor, stone, and paper symbols. Simple games that are familiar in almost all corners of the world. Seeing that, of course his friends were outstanding. Gopal himself who was still in a leaning position was somewhat lying down, staring happily at them.

"YESHALL!!" sahut Salfa could not stem the feeling of relief. Immediately he rushed to Gopal, hugged him, making Gopal immediately whimper because the wound on his stomach was depressed.

"Ups, sorry, so happy, Pal," said Salfa feeling guilty.

"Lo's fine, isn't he, Sal? Novan lo finished.... possessed?" reply Gopal hesitantly for imagining it just horrified.

Salfa, who had returned to his normal standing position, was on his back, "Yes, thank goodness someone helped us. The bells picked me up."

Gopal immediately turned to Genta who he had just realized that he had lowered his head more weakly. Realizing something was wrong, he improved his position to be more palatable when asking questions to Genta. "Ta, why are you?"

Vin and Kinara who had been silent since then, now took a look of pity. As if what Widji did to the six of them wasn't enough, the lives of innocent girls are being made to drift. Diandra who Vin very much remembered with a cheerful nature, had to end up in such a sadistic way. The defense is collapsing. His head turned and hid behind Kinara's neck. The young man wiped away something that was nothing but tears.

Kinara cried when she saw Vin. His hand then grabbed the young man's body, trying to calm him even though his own heart was also a broken terrace. Gopal immediately shone onto the two of them. Surprised of course, why are they suddenly so.

Genta who realized which direction Gopal was staring at, automatically followed him. "Gue himself has promised Diandra that I will not cry. Why are you crying?" he said with an unpleasant tone that actually sounded vibrating.

"D-diandra?" gopal Sahut. "Diandra.. whoa lo, Ta?"

Salfa could only catch his breath many times so that his cries could not escape. The girl looked up at the ceiling of the room to hold back her tears from falling. Like Genta, he had promised that he would not cry, which could incriminate Diandra's steps.

Finally, Genta chose to leave the room because he felt he could not stay there for long. Gopal and Novan just looked at each other cluelessly when they saw it. Salfa came out, and that's when Vin and Kinara told him everything. The thing that makes Gopal who is still in a weak condition, even weaker.

The adek who turned out to be Lintang, who was none other than the son of a female doctor who looked at the morgue with Novan the night he came, grabbed Gopal's hand. "The brother has calmed down, Mom. Just let it go, yes," he said in a funny way but impressed mature more than his age.

Gopal could not say anything, only a short nod. After that, it was Novan's turn to tell about how he and Gopal arrived at the hospital, which made Mr. Beni almost incredulous. Jealousy Novan, apparently he can overcome because he is good at separating personal problems with groups. Actually, he also wanted to provide support and reinforcement for Genta, but let his close friend be with Salfa first, he did not want to disturb.

Moments later, Kinara who had just remembered the package Si Mbah had given her before they all headed to the hospital, immediately nudged Vin's arm. "The package, which made Gopal."

"Oh yes," replied Vin who also just remembered that. Immediately his hand reached into the pocket of the jacket, then opened it slowly.

"What tuh?" asked Gopal whose forehead was frowning.

Vin has not replied because he is still focused on observing the contents of the package. A leaf with one root that is thin yet looks strong. Kinara had indeed left it to her, without saying anything. That's why he doesn't understand it at all. "Whoever?"

"Si Mbah actually said love to Gopal, that's it," replied Kinara who was also confused.

Lintang then approached, taking over the package with a funny look that did not look confused like adults nearby. Vin let it go, watching the leaves and roots flanked by latitude. Kinara, Novan, and Mr. Beni looked at each other, curious.

The latitude without saying anything immediately slid the leaf onto Gopal's aching leg. The roots, then tied so that the leaves stick perfectly. In between her activities, a female doctor came. The mother, who was also astonished by what Lintang was doing, but she just silently watched.

"These leaves and roots have been prayed for, specifically to treat Mas Gopal's wounds," Lintang said later, making everything stunned.

"Where do you know?" asked the mother, whose presence had just been realized all that second as well.

The latitude was finished, only then did he turn to the mother. "That's the woman behind Mama who told me."

Surprised, the mother froze in place. Kinara immediately held onto Vin who was also shocked. While Novan, who already knew that Lintang could see ghosts, just stood quietly with both hands into his pocket.

"Who is he, Dek?" ask Novan.

"Sister ghost," Lintang replied with a funny smile.

"Ta?" call Salfa down when he finds Genta sitting down on a bench in the front garden of the hospital. The girl sat down. Removing a single tear that bravely pierced through the defense he made. Time and again he set his chest which was blooming withstanding pain.

Hearing the apology, Genta immediately raised his face. "Sorry for what, Sal? You're not wrong."

Salfa was silent. Couldn't he cry in front of the young man who even held back his tears desperately. "Because my father's past caused all this. Your sister is a victim" he said weakly. His voice is almost over.

Genta immediately hugged Salfa that second as well. His eyes closed, feeling how much he loved the girl. Whatever he went through, it all felt calmer when he was with Salfa. "I'll never let you go again, Sal. Diandra asked me to like that, and I don't want to fuck her."

Salfa returned Genta's embrace. He rubbed the young man's back. "We are sincere, Ta. Let Diandra be happy. Our lives continue, Ta. I won't bear the guilt of her passing, if you keep believing this…"

"Yes, Sal. You're right," replied Genta with raucous, increasing his embrace. "But how am I gonna tell my parents about him?"

Salfa sighed softly, the tightness in his chest had already reached the maximum level. "We're dealing with your parents together, huh?"

And when that was, the moment that had passed between the two of them was again twisted. Pleasant, beautiful, colorful gray-white times, both of which complement each other. Which foolishly, all of it was smashed just like that by stubborn Genta who still wanted to keep his first love Liana—, in his heart. Regret is real, but now it appears in the form of relief because Salfa is willing to take it back.

"I love you, Sal."

That sentence, spoken with all my heart by Genta. It seemed, for the first time, he only realized the meaning of the sentence very clearly when saying it to the curly-haired girl he now tightly grasped. Salfania Adhista.

Jakarta, 09:11am

The boarding house sent more students to the house who needed help. Days have changed, and Kyai Sa'id knows that the real enemy is dead. Washed away by the tidal waves in the sea when the process of cooking is not even finished. So now, just take Dody back though it's almost impossible because it's been taken so far. Moreover, it was Dody himself who volunteered to give himself up, for the sake of his daughter.

The way used now is, put Dody in the middle and circled by the praying santri. It was done until the sun was out. Still no change. Dody was still roaring with tremendous thrashing movements.

"Where is this, Kyai? What else is it gonna do?" asked Mr. Aji began to fret, while the teacher remained standing with a calm look.

"Don't underestimate the Wrestling of God, Ji. The important thing is we don't stop trying our best."

Mr. Aji nodded. Judging from the guru's guts, it seems he already has a backup way to try if this still does not work as well. Pak Aji also had a guess, then followed Kyai Sa'id who walked closer to the santri.

"Kyai, are you going to send people to pick up Dody? Isn't it too risky?"

Kyai Sa'id turned his head, then sighed softly. "Yes, but it still has to be within certain limits, it can't be too far. At least, if the most valuable person to Dody called him directly when in nature there, a way out would be found."

"The most valuable person in his life?" sahut Nilam who was not far from the two men. "Salfa means?" ask again with worry. Clearly Nilam heard earlier, Mr. Aji was a little hesitant and carried around the word 'risky'.

Both Mr. Aji and Kyai Sa'id actually understand very well the concerns of Nilam. However, it is a way that can be said to be effective even though there are not fifty percent. At least they're trying to save Dody. Kyai Sa'id then approached a few steps, staring at Nilam and Wira alternately.

"But doesn't he say Salfa exists in other realms as well?" reply Nilam did not understand.

Mr. Aji replied. "Someone helped the children there, Nile. Salfa is back."

"And when you get back, you want to send him there again?!" This time the tone of Nilam's question was slightly elevated. He then shook his head. "I'm sorry, I know that's the way to save my husband, but I can't risk Salfa's safety."

The breath of Kyai Sa'id sounded heavier than before, but his voice was still calm. "Just calm down, the two of them will stay on the line. Me alone and Aji who will keep that limit so that they don't go far."

Nilam immediately frowned, as well as the Hero who was right next to him. They then exchanged glances, but it seemed that Wira was the most shocked because he could be said as if he could guess the meaning of what Kyai Sa'id just said.

"M-them two? I-i mean?" ask Nilam.

Kyai Sa'id then turned to the only person who had been silent since. Hero, he knows what his gaze means. His body immediately stiffened because it had felt that the secret he had been secretly harboring without being shared with a single person, would be revealed now.

"Get your father, son. But you need to wait for your brother" said Kyai Sa'id, and at that instant, Nilam immediately shone in shock at his son. The mother of two children realized that Wira did not dare to look at him, then turned to look at Kyai Sa'id again, who was immediately taken as if the unspoken question was well understood by him. "Yes, your son, has had an open inner eye a long time ago."

Pak Aji was calm because he did not need to explain anything even though since the first meeting Wira, he already knew the ability of the child, which at that time was also known that Wira kept it secret from everyone. Mr. Aji himself was also more convinced of his conjecture when he came to this house yesterday, when Wira was sitting together with his friend who was not human. Yeah, Willy's not human.

"Wir, k-you?" nilam said with stammering, especially his breathing has not been regular because of crying a lot.

"Yes, Buk. That's right," replied Wira resignedly. Feeling guilty because his mother would probably think that Wira did not want to be honest all this time. In fact, the only reason why he harbored the ability of his sixth sense secretly was because he did not want to be considered strange, even by his family. "Maafin Wira has done this."

Nilam immediately took Wira into his arms. Kiss the top of his son's head. If only Wira felt guilty for keeping it a secret, let alone Nilam. As a mother who should understand anything that disturbs her children, she finds herself failing. "Healthy who apologizes, never understand if you live such a heavy thing, Wir…"

At the door, Willy looked at the mother and child. Wira unintentionally glanced there, looking at Willy who was smiling in relief. Indeed, his friend had repeatedly suggested that Wira did not hold all of it himself, so when now all was revealed, he felt happy too. The hero replied with a short smile. Now, in the end the ability that he considered more of a curse reached the most important point where perhaps, that is the reason God gave it this advantage.
