BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 167: THE PRIEST'S PRAYER

    It's been two days since Podin was in the hospital. It's been two days since Podin was infused. It's been two days since Odin was helplessly rolled up in a hospital bed. But apparently the condition of Podin has not yet shown consciousness. Podin's condition has not changed, still the same as when he entered the hospital. Of course Ms. Melan became very worried, what exactly was experienced by her husband, what exactly was the illness suffered by her husband. If you hear the words of the doctor, he said this is just ordinary fainting that takes a long time to realize. Why does fainting last so long? Why have you fainted for two days but not immediately awake? Why has her husband been unconscious for two days? What pain is this really? That's what sank into Ms. Melan's mind.

    Of course, it's not only Ms. Melan who has such thoughts. But the villagers, the neighbors of Ms. Melan, must also want to know, how Podin is doing. As usual, like the life of the villagers who are very familiar, still hold a sense of togetherness, still high sense of family, still thick juwa gotong royongnya, of course when Podin was in the hospital, when Podin fell ill, of course the residents in his village to visit, then on the difference. At least they want to know the state of Podin. They want to know how the neighbors really are. They wanted to know what kind of disease Podin was suffering from.

    So, they also flocked to come to the hospital to membenzuk Podin. There are those who ride in pick up cars, some even ride in trucks. One truck a lot. Understandably transportation in the village is still a bit difficult. The presence of an opening car that is commonly used to transport goods. And of course, as many people as almost one village, old young, male women, all of them visited Podin in the hospital. Of course, the citizens of the community, the neighbors of Podin want to convey a sense of concern, want to convey his empathy towards the family of Podin. Because the life of Podin and Ms. Melan everyday in the village has also done a lot of good. Especially these two people have helped the people in their village a lot. Especially the unemployed youths, who did not work, they were given jobs by Ms. Melan. Although there are only people who help in the store, and there are also people who are trusted by Cik Melan to manage the store finances and other businesses.

    Yes, indeed Ms. Melan who is good at economics, Ms. Melan who is smart and expert in finance, she teaches young people, especially young women who become employees, she said, to help in the financial area of the place of business. And of course the people of the community also feel indebted. Because Podin is a good man. A generous person. People who love to give to their neighbors.

    Likewise Ms. Melan, who despite being busy with her husband's business, despite being busy with activities taking care of the shops and places of business, was, but Ms. Melan always took the time if there were social activities in her village. Especially social activities such as visiting people who are sick. Although sometimes Ms. Melan left alone or even escorted by her husband to come to distinguish her sick neighbors in the hospital or in the neighboring house. Hence, now replace. The feedback was felt by Ms. Melan. When Podin was sick, when her husband was in the hospital, when Podin was rolled up could not do anything, the neighbors returned to return the favor of both Podin and Cik Melan.

    In that case, of course, because Ms. Melan is currently busy taking care of her Sakiy husband, bothering to take care of Podin, even still confused by the state of her husband, she said, still not able to leave her husband in the hospital alone, of course Ms. Melan ordered to her employees, most of whom are her neighbors, to be able to take care of the shops and business premises. At least those employees can work without having to wait for by Podin and Ms. Melan who at such times really need help from anyone, he said,

    Certainly, at a time like this his place of business became vulnerable. His place of business is at risk. If Ms. Melan does not trust the person who must manage, does not tell the person who must take care of it fully, then the place of business can be messy, can not even walk anymore.

    Lucky Ms. Melan is a good person, a smart person, a smart person. And Ms. Melan can manage her husband's business, organize the store by entrusting to the people she has educated to manage the places of business. And now, when Ms. Melan has to take care of her husband, then her men, the employees are relied upon by Ms. Melan. The employees of his trust should be able to take care of his shop, can manage his business.

    And of course Ms. Melan keeps calling with her employees who are trusted to manage her shops and businesses. Just using HP to manage all of that. Yes, luckily the era is modern, the era is very sophisticated, the era is very advanced. To manage and manage his business can be done by using the phone. It could be just by calling.

    But there is one thing that is also the thought of Ms. Melan, when she has to take care of her husband who has been two days yet there are no signs of awakening, there are even sisters who say that Podin is currently in a coma. Yes, of course, hearing the word comma, Ms. Melan grew very concerned and very worried about her husband. In such circumstances, inevitably Ms. Melan just surrender to God, only surrender to the almighty, which of course can be asked for help, which of course can help overcome all the problems in her life. Yes, Miss Melan believes in her God. God will heal all sicknesses. Ms. Melan believes that the God she worships is a mighty God, a God who will help her people, a God who can heal all diseases. So, during the night Ms. Melan always prayed, asking God to help her husband, so that God would lift the disease that was on her husband's body.

    Yes, after two days of prayer and yet to receive an answer from her Lord, Ms. Melan recalled to her pastor. Although the church where her prayer is in Jakarta, Ms. Melan wants her pastor to pray for her husband who is preoccupied and said to be in a coma. Yes, Ms. Melan hopes that her husband is prayed for by the pastor and also prayed for by his church members.

    Then immediately Ms. Melan immediately picked up the phone, immediately raised her HP. Ms. Melan immediately contacted the pastor who was expected to give hope to her and her husband who was being scratched in the hospital. And of course, the pastor who was contacted by Ms. Melan only knew that Podin, one of his congregation was experiencing trials, was experiencing pain, was experiencing tests from God.

    Of course, the pastor called Ms. Melan also immediately received testimony from her congregation. The priest immediately received a complaint from Ms. Melan. And of course the priest also immediately replied will pray, so that God immediately raised the pain of the disease in the body of Podin.

    But in reality, the pastor did not just pray from Jakarta alone. The pastor did not just pray from his church. The pastor not only asked the other congregations to pray for Podin, but apparently the empathy and sympathy of the pastor along with some of the congregation, he said, they came to the hospital where Podin was treated and helpless. Yes, of course the congregations along with the pastor will be different, will look at the congregation, want to know the condition of the congregation, want to know the condition of the hospital Podin. And they would have prayed together in that hospital, in the room where Podin was helpless.

    And immediately, the church friends of Ms. Melan, members of her church and the pastor, came to the difference, who came to see Podin in the hospital. They want to know exactly what happened to Podin. Want to know, actually what pain is currently experienced by Podin.

    "I don't know myself, Pastor .." replied Ms. Melan.

    "Doctor didn't say it hurt?" ask the priest again.

    "Says just fainted .... But it's not been two days" replied Ms. Melan.

    "How's the story?" ask the priest again.

    "Yesterday, two days ago .... We were in the bedroom together. Papah slept in the room with me. But suddenly, my husband fell to the floor, and it was as if someone was dragging his body out of the room and being moved elsewhere. I wonder myself. I can't see what really happened to my husband either .... The event coincides with a lunar eclipse, when the moon is tightly closed. A full eclipse. Of course I chased my husband's body into another room, a place that was never opened, a room that was kept secret by my husband. But as soon as he entered the room, Papah Podin just disappeared .... My husband was not in that room. I also shouted for help to the people. And the people helped us find my husband. They said, the residents said that Papah Podin was hit by an eclipse. It was a lunar eclipse at that time. So that people believe that Papah Podin is eclipsed." so said Ms. Melan who told her about the incident, and of course she also told the beliefs of the people in her village, if during the eclipse of the moon, it could be that people were knocked over by the eclipse, eaten by that eclipse.

    "Lah ..., how's it going?" the priest asked again, who also wanted to know the complete story. Of course, the congregation who participated in the room Podin was also paying attention to the words of Cik Melan.

    "Papah Podin overnight sought by the people of one village. Everyone is looking around here and there. To the whole village. Not found overnight. But when the eclipse disappeared, when the moon reappeared, there were people who came looking, seeing that Papah Podin was on a tree. Then people took my husband down, who had fainted and could do nothing. Then my husband was taken to the hospital, it was like this. To this day there has been no change .... Huhuhuhu ...." Ms. Melan cried again, of course because she witnessed her husband who could not do anything.

    "Keep ..., according to the doctor, said the doctor, Mr. Podin what pain?" ask the Pastor again, which of course the other congregations listened and were amazed by the story of Ms. Melan.

    "Not yet, Pastor .... To this day, the disease has not been found. His tension is normal, his heart is normal, all his health conditions are normal .... But the fact is Papah Podin can't do anything .... Not even conscious. There was even a nurse who told me that Papah Podin was in a coma ..." so replied Ms. Melan who was certainly teary-eyed because she was so sad.

    "Yes .... Let's pray .... May God help the body of Mr. Podin ..... May the Lord lift up the sickness that is in the body of Mr. Podin .... And may God give health, restore as ever to Mr. Podin ...."

    Finally, the pastor returned to pray with his congregation. Praying for Podin in the hospital room, so that the God he worshiped gave healing to Podin. The priest who led the prayer, his palm was placed on the head of Podin. And of course, those prayers were colored by sobs by the congregation. Especially Ms. Melan who really hopes that her husband will recover soon.

    Strange things happen. Apparently God heard the prayer of His grieving people. When everyone was praying, Podin's eyes opened. Podin starts to rumble.

    The efficacious prayer. Prayers are instantly granted.
