"Mom, you go out first yes, meet your men. Kasian, they've been waiting for a long time" said Ruman while stroking his wife's hair.

"Yes, sir! Please get plastic first, mother's stomach tastes bad," Saras replied.

"Yes," replied Ruman then took the plastic for his wife.

Afterwards, Ruman met Mamat and his friends while carrying medicine.

"Bang, treat your wound with this," Ruman ordered as he sat on the sofa, and placed the dope on the table.

"The scratch mark, indicating that the incident was real, not an illusion," said Ruman.

Bambang then applied the drug in his wound. There was a chill there that made Bambang relax.

"What's really going on, sir! Why did the old grandmother I saw coming out of my father's car, actually went into the body of Ms Saras!" ask Mamat curiously.

Juned glanced at Mamat in annoyance, just warned, but Mamat had already been knocked over again.

"There have been events in my family's past. Oh yeah, here's your paycheck, here's to you, Mat ... Juno ... Bambang," Ruman handed each of his men a brown envelope.

The three of them received it cheerfully, and the face turned bright to find the thick envelope.

"Thank you, Sir!" juned and his friends said.

"Well, I also thank you for helping with my problem. Mumpung day is not yet dark, you should go home soon," said Ruman.

"We'll deliver the boat, and the truck first, sir!" juned.

"Oh yes, I forgot, you have to give it back. Em, you can have three days off, no need to go to work," Ruman said.

The three of them more than heard the offer from Ruman.

"Thank you very much, sir!" reply Bambang.

"Yes, yes, you must be tired, and need to rest" said Ruman.

"You know, we'll go home first, sir!" said Juned.

"Semoga, Bu Saras segera baikan lagi," ucap Bambang.

"Bang, you're not married, are you?" tanya Ruman suddenly stopped the three of them.

"Yes, not yet, sir! What's up, dad?" bambang asked curiously.

"I happen to be in need of help to keep watch at home, will you not keep watch in my house?" ask Ruman.

Bambang glanced at his two friends. "Em, actually, I also need a break, sir!"

"Oh sure, sure, you can rest, Bang! Rest in my house after delivering trucks and boats, all with me, if anything happens, Bang! You're ready, aren't you?" ruman said with a pleading gaze.

Because it felt bad, finally, Bambang agreed to Ruman's offer. Due to a new order from Ruman, Bambang did not help Mamat to bring back his truck.

"I'm sorry, Mat. I revoked my promise, you know what, Mr. Ruman's request," Bambang said before entering his truck.

"Yes, it's okay, Bang! Oh yeah, if there's anything in Mr. Ruman's house, you're telling me, Dad!" said Mamat.

"Basic kepo! Why don't you stay at home, Mr. Ruman, Mat!" yelled Juned then got into his truck.

Mamat did not heed Juned's exclamation. The three of them then drove the trucks to the factory.

Roses stand guard in the hospital. The doctor said Bi Minah's condition was good enough. After lunch, Roses tried to ask Bi Minah. What really happened until Bi Minah fell ill.

"Take the medicine first, Bi!" say the rose while handing over medicine and drinking water.

Bi Minah who was still lying half-sitting took her medicine quickly because she could not bear the smell of the medicine. Bi Minah drank a little water given by the Rose.

The rose put the glass back on the table. The rose seared Bi Minah's feet painstakingly.

"Already, Ma! Thank you for waiting here for aunt" said Bi Minah in a still limp voice.

The smiling rose heard Bi Minah's words.

"Together, Bi! Bi, if you can tell, what really happened back then?" ask Roses.

Bi Minah looked at the Rose with a mute. He then turned to look at the front wall of his vault.

"I see a woman who resembles my face, Ma'am!" said Bi Minah.

The rose scrunched up the eyebrows not understanding.

"I mean aunt?" ask Roses.

"At that time, I was in the back, drying clothes, then I heard the sound of things falling in the kitchen. Aunty immediately looked at him, and it turned out that there were a lot of things scattered there. By the time aunt picked it up, suddenly there was a woman coming in front of me. As soon as I looked up, the face was my face, and smiled grinning. He said he said ... I came back ..." Bi Minah said in horror.

Roses fell silent and went for chills hearing Bi Minah's story.

"Why is it like that, Bi? Who is that woman exactly?"

"I don't know, Ma'am!"

After being remembered, Rose also heard the sound of "I'm Back" when she wanted to sleep in her room yesterday.

"Yes, aunt rest again, do not think about anything else, Rose stay first, Bi! Want to eat," said Rose accompanied by a smile.

"Yes, Mommy!" reply Bi Minah.

Niken and Wati tell a fun story so they do not know the time.

Niken several times repeated the story of Wati because he did not believe what was said by Wati.

"It's scary, Wat. So, the grandmother who helped give birth to Ms Saras, is now still in that swamp? With ari-ari'an? And the body of Rose's brother, where's the grave, Wat?" ask Niken.

"You about the body of his brother Rose, I do not know where I buried it, already, it's late afternoon, you do not want to go home what? Later in search of your son and husband, you know," said Wati reminded Niken.

"Yes, of course, home. But I'm still wondering about your story, Wat. Koq could've found Ruman's grandmother,"

"I don't know, say it's a koq baby shaman. Don't know me, Ken! But I also often see the grandmother through the front of the house," said Wati recalled the incident 22 years ago.

At that time, the rain fell very heavy, Saras could not bear to give birth to the baby she contained. Her father-in-law was out of town and on his way home when he heard that his daughter was about to give birth.

At the time, she was still working in the office. He looks panicked because at home there is only his wife and maid. In a hurry he immediately returned from his office.

On the way, his car broke down. Ruman got out of the car to check the engine.

At that very moment, there came an old grandmother who was tall with a bowed path and carried an umbrella towards her. Not without reason, the grandmother seemed to be the one who made Ruman's car crash there.

The grandmother introduced herself as Nek Jamilah, a baby shaman.

"Let me help you see, son Ruman," said Nek Jamilah at the time.

Ruman who had been soaked and could not solve the engine problem, let Grandma Jamilah check his car. Once touched by Nek Jamilah, and Ruman tried to revive his car, it worked. The car is back on.

Ruman was very happy and thanked Nek Jamilah.

"Thank you, Grandma for the help. Where's grandma going? Let me take you!" Ruman offered himself.

"I want to go to the place where the guy who said he wanted to give birth to twins!" nek Jamilah.

The ruman who heard the narration of Jamilah's nek furrowed his eyebrows.

"Twin boy? My wife is also going to give birth to twins. What is the purpose of this Jamilah grandma going to my house? Has Bi Minah contacted Nek Jamilah?" Ruman wondered in his heart.
