"Alia is the old one!"
Mayra grumbled as she waited for Alia long enough downstairs.
"Sorry, there's a little business"
Alia approached Mayra and walked towards the parking lot. Alia turned on her motor and started to drive.
On the way he still thought about his words that he did not realize. Mayra spoke incessantly but Alia paid no heed.
"Woy Alia stop! this is my home!"
Mayra screams as Alia continues to speed through Mayra's house.
"Sorry, I forgot!"
"Think what!"
Alia smiled and said nothing, then turned around to deliver Mayra and continued on her way.
After arriving at home Alia changed clothes and then cleaned herself. He intended to rest for a while while waiting for the Maghrib to arrive.
Alia laid her body on the mattress while looking at her left wrist.
"It turns out that something like this really exists? all this time I thought it was an illusion. I can't imagine the pain that Arrafi felt back then. Why did I think he was the! bodo ah it's his own fault!"

Meanwhile, at the pesantren...
Azam was still reading the Qur'an in his room while waiting for the Maghrib to arrive. As Maghrib's time drew near, Azam immediately stopped reading the Qur'an, again holding his blistered hand. The wound was again hot and painful.
"Astaghfirullah"
Azam remembered Alia's words earlier, he tried to follow Alia's advice by soaking her wounds using salt water. Azam rushed to the kitchen to ask for a little salt and took a basin of water and mixed with salt. Slowly he began to put his hand into the basin filled with salt water earlier.
"Oh Allah is very sad"
Azam was in a lot of pain when his wound was put in salt water, he kept praying and trying to hold it.
"Azam! come to the mosque, I want an adzan! what are you doing!?"
One of Azam's roommates approached him and was shocked to see Azam soaking his wounds with salt water.
"You're crazy! this must be really sick!"
His roommate kept trying to remind Azam to stop but he paid no heed until Azam finished his seventh reading of Al-Fatihah and the pain began to go away, just now Azam pulled his hand from the immersion.
"I'm not papa, let's go to the mosque"
Azam spoke very casually while his friend only fell silent in astonishment. They rushed to the mosque to perform Maghrib prayers.
And....
In the princess boarding school, Nafisah was still trying to endure the pain that had arisen in her hands. It felt almost the same as Azam, but it was lighter because the wound was not as severe as Azam. Some of the caretakers gave Nafisah burns medicine, but it was useless. When the santri finished Maghrib prayers congregated in the mosque then the pain experienced by Nafisah began to disappear.
"Alia! I never thought!"
Nafisah felt very upset considering the incident that caused her hand to be injured. She hated Alia.

The next day as usual Alia went to school early in the morning. He also did not forget to stop by Mayra's house and invite her to leave together. Along the way he feels that there is something different about Mayra. Unlike usual, he became very quiet.
Once at school, Mayra got off the bike and Alia parked her bike. After that they walked as usual to his class.
"Mayra why are you!"
"Ngga papa kok"
Alia looked at Mayra's wrist using a round-brown wooden bracelet rather young.
"Oh this, no, it's been a while I've only used it"
Mayra replied while showing her hand to Alia.
"Well, let me see? uh...!"
Alia tried to hold the bracelet to get a closer look, but she immediately threw Mayra's hand when she touched the bracelet.
"Why you?" ask Mayra.
Alia was still speechless with a shocked face, she felt strange after touching the bracelet.
"The bracelet owner is dead?"
Alia asked somewhat hesitantly, but she really wanted to make sure what she saw was right or wrong.
"Well, she died last night, I was told this morning" Mayra replied, looking down in sadness.
"He was in an accident?" Alia asked back.
Mayra just nodded, she still couldn't believe that the person was dead.
"He's my cousin, he gave me this bracelet a long time ago, but I never wore it. Until this morning when I heard that he was dead, I just went to look for this bracelet and put it on".
"Oh yeah, sorry I asked so much"
Alia felt guilty because her question made Mayra recall the recently deceased and made her feel even more sad.
"Eh how do you know that? besides indigo, you're not a fortune teller either, are you?" Mayra wonder.
"Hehey"
Alia just smiled and did not talk, she tried to distract by inviting Mayra to walk faster to get to class.
But Mayra was still curious and she kept asking for an explanation from Alia, and Alia just fell silent as she continued walking.
Until Mayra's class still forced Alia to talk, until finally Alia began to talk.
Alia explained that only by touching something related to the person who had died could she know what was the cause of the person's death, and also be able to see a little of her past.
"You are scary!" said Nida who also listened to Alia speak.
"I'm not scary! but you're a coward!"
Alia replied to Nida with a mocking tone. As a child, Nida was a coward, she did not believe in mystical things and had never been interested in such things, but after seeing what had happened to Alia, he believed but was still afraid of that kind of thing.
"Even Nafisah alone can only read a little of the nature of people, but you can even see the past" Mayra began to compare\-compare.
"Me and him are very different! I can even see his bad behavior in the past!" suddenly Alia got out of control in talking, and it made Mayra and Nida shocked.
Alia immediately covered her mouth with both hands as she spoke. He tries to shift the conversation so that Mayra does not question him further. But with Mayra's nature, she will never give up on getting what she wants to know.
"I think the advantages are only about being able to see supernatural beings and communicate with them. But as it turns out, your abilities are really\-very high. I can only see but not talk to them, only know and feel their existence. But you can even know about them without them telling".
"People's abilities must be different!"
Alia only responded to all of Mayra's statements with a short answer, as if she did not want to talk about it any further.
"Easy! don't talk about it! I'm so scared!"
Nida tries to stop Alia and Mayra's conversation, as she has absolutely no interest in discussing it. Because when they've spoken the mystical thing it makes Nida as if it doesn't exist and isn't considered.
