Before 365 Days
51. Raga Mamat's

Mr. Kyai's soul crossed the sea, on the power of the Khaliq, Pak Kyai entered the sea. In the darkness, there is a magnificent palace like a fairyland.

Mr. Kyai continued to swim inward near the magnificent palace.

Mr. Kyai stepped on one of the boards, he was stunned when he heard a voice, "it hurts! Don't step on me hard" said the board.

Mr. Kyai then retreated and stood on the sand. Mr. Kyai observed the building.

The pillars supporting the building are humans who ask for a gift to the bayong fish. Not just the pillar. But the floor, the lights, the roof, the fence and everything in it are all human beings.

Mr. Kyai smiled at the sight.

"I'm sorry, I was forced to step on you" said Mr. Kyai then set foot starting down the palace.

"Woy, sick! Slow down the road,"

"The floor is indeed stepped on, you enjoy it," said Mr. Kyai again.

Mamat was still speechless imagining trouble after problem that he had experienced in his life. However, his wife can always make him calm and comfortable, while he was being khilaf.

"Mas, let us be despised, in the maki caci. Let our hearts be broken at this moment. Just don't be deacherated later, Mas! It is a torture there that is more severe than the problems of life that we live now," said Atun when advising Mamat who was crying at the time.

At that time, Mamat did not accept to see his sick son ridiculed by the children of his neighbors. Coupled with Mamat's economic conditions are very mediocre.

If only, Mamat had no debt, maybe Mamat's finances would be stable. Mamat had a big debt first, when he had not worked with Mr. Ruman. For the control of his son, Mamat always owed, and also for his daily needs.

"Think of my offer, Mamat, you will live a good life if you marry me, please, you eat also the food that I have served," Bayong said with a grinning smile.

"Are there any restrictions for me, if I accept marrying you?" ask Mamat who is starting to get tempted.

"You just have to serve me every night. And also, you can't shop and wear nice clothes, that's all" replied the Bayong demon.

Mamat was interested in the offer given by Bayong. The conditions given were also very easy for him.

"All right, I'll ...."

"Istighfar you, Mamat!" exclaimed Pak Kyai who suddenly appeared from a corner.

"Sir Kyai!" mamat then moved from his seat.

"Damn it! Who are you!" tanya Bayong beaver.

"Don't be fooled by the devil's deception laknatulloh, he just wants to trick you. Never be tempted by any offer that sounds tantalizing to your ears. No desire can be instant, Mamat! Think of your son and wife at home" shouted Mr. Kyai.

"But, to be honest, I am tired of the economic condition of my family, Mr. Kyai," complained Mamat.

"Truly, you are being tested, be patient, Matt! After this trial, there must be happiness waiting. Come with me" said Mr. Kyai, extending his hand.

"It's not that easy, he's mine, I brought him here" said the Bayong fish then snared Mamat's neck.

Mamat complained of pain, his voice stuck in the throat.

"Take him off, he hasn't touched anything here, you don't deserve it. All beings belong to God, including you demons!" said Mr. Kyai beaver.

"Cute, you want to fight with me apparently, come here, I will serve you until you die also with this man," said the demon Bayong.

Pak Kyai and the Bayong fish fought fiercely. Mamat then fainted feeling the heat in his throat.

They both fought. Kang Ridwan has ordered Juned and Bambang to cross the sea by boat. The three of them set off towards the point that Kang Ridwan had set.

Fortunately, the boat was already using fuel, so there was no need to expend a lot of power to row.

"Stop here," said Kang Ridwan as he raised his palm.

Juned stopped his boat at a distance of five kilometers.

Kang Ridwan then said do'a and patted the waves below.

The cepluk! The cepluk! The cepluk!

A new wave of power swirled, going inside and circling Mr. Kyai's body. The Bayong Demon widened his eyes. Attack after attack cannot penetrate Pak Kyai.

Pak Kyai then focused his mind, to attack the Bayong Demon in full. Mr. Kyai started cross-legged on the floor which was heard screaming and feeling the pain of the terrible fight.

While Mr. Ruman, Adam, Aziz and Dimas waited for Mr. Kyai with anxious hope. Moreover, seeing the clothes worn by Mr. Kyai began to get wet slowly.

"Son Adam, please buy appropriate clothes for Mr. Kyai" said Mr. Ruman while opening his wallet and handing over hundreds of thousands of dollars to Adam.

"Well, Om!" said Adam received the money, and immediately looked for clothes for Pak Kyai around the beach.

"What happened there?" ruman asked in his heart while paying attention to Pak Kyai's body.

Aziz and Dimas then sat down next to Mr. Kyai. They both recited and offered a do'a to Mr. Kyai.

After the sense of strength gathered was enough, at the power of Allah, Pak Kyai managed to defeat the Bayong demon.

"Aargghhhhhh!" bayong shouted with his body bouncing against his slave wall, so that the wall felt pain.

"Aduuuhhh, sakiiii! Forgive me!" the sound of the wall cries out.

With lightning-like speed, Mr. Kyai gradually carried Mamat's body that had been suffocated. Mr. Kyai continued to swim carrying the body of Mamat, to rise to the surface.

Kang Ridwan opened his eyes, he began to look around the sea trying to find Mamat's body.

"How, Kang?" ask Juned.

"Berdo'a course, hopefully, Mamat can still survive" said Kang Ridwan flat.

"Amin, may Mamat be in good shape" Juned said.

"There, it's Mamat!" bambang shouted while pointing south from his standing position.

Kang Ridwan and Juned squinted their eyes. Juned's eyes instantly rounded seeing Mamat's body floating. Juned immediately started the engine and headed towards Mamat's floating body.

After getting close enough, Kang Ridwan and Bambang try to pull Mamat's already pale body. With great difficulty, they were finally able to pull Mamat's body into the boat.

"Alhamdulillah, Mamat! Yes Allah, Mamat!"

Juned's cry instantly broke. Bambang who had been strong, crying also saw Juned who was crying tears hugging Mamat's cold body like Ice.

"I'll try to help him immediately, move aside" said Kang Ridwan as he took a position and rolled up his sleeves.

Juned wiped his tears, and started driving the boat towards the mainland.

Kang Ridwan begins to do first aid to the drowning man, as he once did.

Kang Ridwan also checked all of Mamat's pulse and heart rate.
