BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 168: EVACUATING THE SECRET ROOM

    After hearing the story of Ms. Melan about her testimony regarding the room that was kept secret by Podin, of course the pastor, and also along with other congregations, became curious about the secret room. Yes, told by Ms. Melan that in the secret room she said she should not be entered by anyone, including Ms. Melan herself should not open it. The weirdness of the secret room that only Podin could enter. And of course the Pastor along with the other congregations wanted to know what exactly the contents of the secret room were.

    It's a bit strange of course, why there are rooms in a house that are tightly closed and kept secret by Podin. Even until his own wife cannot approach, he cannot open it. Certainly, according to the belief of the Pastor, according to the priest's instinct, according to the estimation of the Pastor, in the room there was something that was kept secret by Podin. That room is not a random room. The space that was kept secret by Podin was definitely a suspicious oddity there. And of course, the Reverend wanted to see firsthand, wanted to know for sure, if in the secret room according to the estimation of the Pastor is there is a conspiracy space between Podin with other beings outside the power of God who he believes.

    Yes, surely Podin as a new church congregation, a congregation who entered his church because of being the wife of Ms. Melan, must still have a lot of business with worldly problems, he said, it's not God's business to be worshipped. Of course, Podin still doing his old beliefs activities that smell animism and dynamism. And the priest was sure, that Podin still worshipped idols.

    "May I see the secret room that once made Mr. Podin disappear?" said the Reverend, who certainly wants to know how the state of the room is said to be the secret place of the Podin.

    "Can .., Mr. Pastor .... It's in my house ..." said Ms. Melan who is certainly also willing to be seen by her pastor. And of course Ms. Melan who already knew what was in the room, of course, she did not dare to directly reprimand her husband, who used to be her own boss who she still respected.

    Although not yet able to talk, Podin who can already see the people around him, Podin who had begun to realize it, was, Podin, who could see the Reverend present in the hospital room, could only nod his head, signifying agreement and allowing. Surely he could not resist the desire of the Pastor who wanted to see the room that was said to be the secret place. Moreover, Podin who was still lying there knew that the pastor and the congregation who had prayed for him who he said two days declared a coma, he believed the pastor as a good person, as a good person, as a person who was very close to God, so his prayer to ask for the healing of Podin was granted. Surely he did not dare to say no, did not dare to forbid the priest to plan to enter the room that had been secret.

    Finally, after talking with her husband, expressed the intention to see a place that had lost her, Ms. Melan invited her pastor to her home. While some of the people from the congregation who participated in the difference, some remained in the hospital to wait for Podin. And of course they are people who are close to Ms. Melan. While some people also joined Ms. Melan along with the priest, to go to Cik Melan's house. Surely they want to know, what kind of room that he said was kept secret by the Podin, what kind of room that should not be entered by anyone.

    Finally, the Pastor who was accompanied by several congregants, along with Ms. Melan, a group of one van, had arrived at Podin's house. Ms. Melan immediately invited her guests into her house, and of course allowed the guests to sit in the guest room. And Miss Melan also gave drinks and treats for her guests, all of whom were very close and familiar with Ms. Melan.

    "Russia .... Ms. Melan's house is huge ..." said one of the attendees.

    "Pak Podin's .... But in the village, far from the city ..." replied Ms. Melan.

    "Enak dong, quiet ..., not disturbed by noise ..." said another.

    "Yes .... If the night can still hear the jengkik ..." added Ms. Melan.

    "But, Ms. Melan is still often in Jakarta, right ...?" ask another friend.

    "To and fro .... Understandably, Mr. Podin's place of business is in several places, and I have to take care of everything." replied Ms. Melan, who of course while allowing his guests to taste the dishes he provided.

    "Sir Melan ..., where is the room Mr. Podin kept secret?" ask the priest to Ms. Melan who of course she wants to know what kind of place is kept secret by Ms. Melan's husband.

    "Yes .., Mr. Pastor .... It's there .... A little backwards. Come with me, sir ..." said Ms. Melan, who immediately got out of her seat, and took the pastor to the room two nights ago, during a lunar eclipse was opened by Ms. Melan, when she had to find her husband who was dragged by what was not known to exist.

    Then the Reverend followed Cik Melan's footsteps, and also followed by the people who had come together to Cik Melan's house. And of course they all want to know about the secret room told by Ms. Melan, related to the room that her husband had lost there.

    "This ..., Mr. Pastor .... This is the room I opened when my husband was missing, when my husband was dragged into this room, and it ended up being sick like that." said Ms. Melan who had opened the door of the room, the door of the room that had been kept secret by Podin.

    And of course Coaching is also worried and worried about the room that has just opened, whether there is anything in the room. But clearly, Ms. Melan had seen strange items that were unusual and never known before.

    The pastor certainly saw things his congregation should not do. Something not to be done by the followers of Christ. In the room, the pastor, along with the other congregation, watched how in the room there were treasure chests, some sort of sacred item. And what was obviously very stifling the chests of the congregation and the pastor was that there was a pile of incense burnings. It must have been during this time that Podin had been in a feud with the devil. The omens are piles of incense burnings, which are commonly done by people who worship spirits or idols. It must have been a former ritual performed by Podin to worship idols. Yet such an act in the religious teachings of Ms. Melan, in the religious teachings delivered by the priest, is an act that associates people with demons, an act that is forbidden by God, he said, actions that are not allowed to be done by the children of Christ.

    Of course, the Reverend shook his head, a sign of great regret for the actions that have been done by Podin so far.

    "Mrs Melan .... So far Mr. Podin has been performing what rituals? Worship what is he?" ask the priest to Miss Melan, of course, want to know what Podin has been doing.

    "I don't know, Pastor .... As long as I was married to Mr. Podin, I had never seen him do anything with this place .... He just ordered me not to open this room .... Just like that." replied Ms. Melan who did not know what her husband was doing.

    "Sik Melan never knew or witnessed the ritual or some kind of prayer when Pak Podin came to this room?" ask the priest again.

    "Never, Sir .... I am Mr. Podin's wife, this house is like this .... And indeed I obey when I am not allowed to open this room .." replied Ms. Melan.

    "When you see that there are traces of incense burning, there are traces of flowers .., surely Mr. Podin has some kind of belief, which may be some kind of animism or dynamism .... Well, the beliefs of the ancestors before knowing the religion." replied the priest.

    "Keep ..., what should I do, Pastor?" ask Ms. Melan.

    "We are children of God .... We should have left all that. When we have new clothes, then leave our clothes that are ugly and not worth wearing. We already have a God who promises to save .... Just trust in Him, we will be saved. So don't touch God" said the pastor, who reminded him of his religious teachings.

    Ms. Melan was silent. Can't say anything. He could only listen to the pastor's advice. And of course she also realized, if all this time her husband was very blind with religion. Even Podin himself once told Ms. Melan, if he entered the house of worship because invited by Ms. Melan. He first prayed when he was invited to church by his wife. Of course Ms. Melan realized, if all this time must be her husband still adheres to teachings that do not know God, but still worship and worship sacred objects.

    "Mrs Melan .... Take your husband to the right path, the path indicated by Him, the path of truth through the Only Begotten Son .... I am sure, the events that happened to Mr. Podin must have something to do with these objects" said the pastor again.

    "Yes, Pastor .... Please pray for my husband to be aware and surrender to God ..." said Ms. Melan who of course please help prayer.

    "Sure, Miss Melan .... We will all help in prayer ..." replied the rest of the congregation.

    "This is a room that the children of Christ do not deserve." said the pastor again.

    "Well, what should I do, Pastor ...?" ask Ms. Melan, who is certainly currently confused by the state of her husband's secret room.

    "These are idols .... The children of Christ must not be in communion with Satan .... Just throw away all these things, so that there are no more idols in this house." replied the priest, which of course requested that Ms. Melan get rid of the belongings of Podin stored in the room secret room.

    "Okay, Pastor .... Now let me concentrate on taking care of my husband who is in the hospital first. Later after my husband recovers, I will have all. Pray for me, Mr .... Pray for my husband .." said Ms. Melan who is certainly a bit heavy with her husband's business.

    "Yes, already .... Too long here, pity Mr. Podin left in the hospital .... Let us pray, to ask the Lord for help, to cast out the evil spirits that have occupied the rooms and houses of Ms. Melan .." said the pastor, who continued to pray with his fellow attendees. And of course Ms. Melan. They pray to drive out the evil spirits who will certainly be wandering in Ms. Melan's house.
