For a while Alia was still trying to see the man, but soon the reading stopped. The atmosphere became very quiet and made Alia feel tense.
"Well stop, lest he know something else" murmured Alia.
Shortly after, the dawn prayer sounded in the same voice. Alia breathed a sigh of relief because she was not caught peeping.
"Alia!"
Alia again felt surprised as Afi suddenly got behind her and shouted.
"You yeah! I thought where you were, it turns out that here, go not to say, make people worry to know!" Afi continued to talk, letting out her frustration at having searched for Alia all over the house but not finding her.
Soon all his friends and also some of the surrounding residents began to arrive to perform morning prayers. Alia also had to give up to not be able to know the owner of the melodious voice earlier.
_____------______
Morning activities start with filial work, they share tasks for three parts. Some clean the mosque and also the yard, then clean the house and also the yard and the last one helps Bu Murniati prepare breakfast.
Alia along with Erik, Anton and also Sandra got a part to clean the house and yard.
After finishing doing the task on the inside of the house, Alia went straight out of the house to clean the yard, she swept the front of the house using a broom. At first it was normal, but a few moments after that Alia again saw a centipede that continued to follow her.
"Astaghfirullah, Sandra help me dong I'm afraid of the oath!" shout Alia.
The three friends immediately ran up to him and asked what was going on.
Alia pointed out the place where the centipede was, but suddenly the animal was gone.
"Woy Alia, are you avoiding me? wake up in the afternoon!" shouted Erik.
"Your daughter, don't do that, last night there was a centipede that entered our room, so maybe Alia is still afraid and carried away until now" said Sandra.
"Oh so the story is so traumatized, you are what age you are, just as a small animal is afraid!"
"Your mouth can't speak softly!" Sandra was annoyed by Erik's words, they both argued because they both did not want to lose in speech.
"Hey already! if it becomes a fight, Alia better you go to the kitchen just help Afi and Rahma prepare breakfast" said Anton in a slow and polite tone.
Alia nodded then walked towards the kitchen, while Sandra and Erik were still putting on annoyed expressions. From the beginning they both really could not get along like cats and mice.
From inside the mosque Azam noticed the four of them talking, he also saw Alia who was walking away with a restless face.
"Do you like him Zam?" latif said while patting Azam on the shoulder.
"Eh Latif, you're not what you are"
"What looks out of your eyes, anyways you look really good" Latif said.
Azam just fell silent while smiling a little and kept looking across the street.
"It turns out that guy likes gossip too yeah!" said Nafisah that made Azam and Latif shocked.
The two of them did not even heed it at all and resumed their respective jobs.
*****
At around 9 pm Alia just entered the room and intends to sleep. Although his friends were still busy making some reports, he immediately lay down on the bed and closed his eyes as all his tasks were done.
That night, Alia slept very well after a day of anxiety.
In the midst of his sleep, suddenly a young woman dressed in all black with long hair as a shoulder stood before him. Alia woke up and tried to sit down, she looked at the female figure, her face looked very angry and wanted revenge.
"You who? what are you doing here?" ask Alia slowly.
The woman just kept quiet and continued to stare at Alia sharply.
Shortly after that appeared a male figure wearing white clothes that looked very shabby. The white shirt had even changed color to brown because it was so dirty exposed to the ground, its head was round hairless with its big eyes.
The figure of the man reached out his right hand which turned out to be filled with hair bristles like thorns. Maybe more precisely like the legs of a centipede animal that is all over the skin of his hands. If viewed from a distance maybe the hand will look like a large centipede attached to the body of the male figure.
The hand held Alia's right hand and immediately Alia cried out in pain because it felt so hot like she was stung by a centipede.
"You killed my partner! you must feel the consequences!" shouted the figure of the woman in black who was still standing in front of Alia.
"Come with me!" the male figure who was still holding Alia's hand also shouted at her, she continued to pull Alia's hand as if she wanted to invite Alia away to come with them.
"Aaaa hurts, please, please let go!!" shout Alia.
Somehow all of Alia's friends no one woke up to hear her scream, only Nafisah woke up and immediately approached her.
As soon as Nafisah came, the two figures instantly disappeared without a trace.
"Why you?" ask Nafisah.
Alia was still sitting quietly while holding her injured right hand. All the parts that had been held by the creature became red, felt very hot and itchy, his hands were also swollen. The symptoms are exactly like when exposed to a centipede sting.
"Why is it like this?" Nafisah asked again, but Alia remained silent while continuing to endure the pain.
Nafisah tried to hold Alia's right hand and closed her eyes and recited some prayers, but she seemed to be unable to do anything to alleviate the pain that Alia felt.
But Nafisah found another truth, he released Alia's hand with his right hand still clenched.
As soon as he opened his fist, something was pulled from within Alia's body and was successfully removed by her.
"Crown of white roses?" murmured Nafisah while looking at the white Rose petal that was still on his right palm.
Nafisah looked back at Alia, and at that moment the white-robed creature that he had seen and was always near Alia disappeared like a wind.
Meanwhile Alia felt that something was strange with her body, like she had just released a load, her body felt lighter than before.
"Tok tok tok"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door from outside the room. His breath rushes up to open and see who is knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
"A... Azam?" I said Nafisah nervously.
"Where is that thing?" azam said firmly.
"Things? what does that mean?"
"That you took out of Ragasy!"
Nafisah again felt surprised when he heard Azam's words, he saw Azam's expression that looked very upset and angry, for many years Nafisah knew Azam, just this time he saw the figure of Azam who was so upset and showed his anger to others.
