BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 169: CIK MELAN'S FAITH

    Podin's condition has started to improve. Podin can already be spoken to, although not so fluent to answer or speak. The nurse who treated Podin told Ms. Melan, if the condition of the sick Podin like this later, the recovery is rather long. It could be said that this pain is a kind of mild stroke. But not yet worried. And of course, the condition of Podin will recover as usual.

    "Not to worry, Ma'am .... Mr. Podin is fine .... Later surely his health will recover as usual" said the nurse who was checking the condition of Podin.

    "Thank you, Sister ..., for her help all this time." said Ms. Melan who was certainly happy to hear the consolation from the Sister.

    "This, Mr. Podin .... Breakfast is ready in the morning .... Eaten to the end, yes .., sir .... Let's get well, get healthy fast, go home quickly .." said a consumable nurse, who had just entered the Podin room, delivering ration food to the patients. And of course when entering the room Podin, the nurse also requested that the patient immediately eat breakfast that has been provided. Of course they are friendly all, aiming to keep the sick patient motivated and immediately recover his health.

    "Yes, thank you, Sister." replied Ms. Melan who would be grateful to have provided breakfast for her husband.

    Then Cik Melan took a plate containing porridge with chicken opor side dish, to be fed to her husband.

    "Pah .., eat yuk .... Let it be healthy, let it heal, let it be allowed to go home .... Not sleeping in the hospital .... I'm tired of hearing people on crying, hearing people on sad .... Even sometimes there are screaming because of the pain .... Eat in our own home, quiet and comfortable .... Come on, Pah .., I bribe ..." said Ms. Melan who definitely gave affection and tenderness to her husband, while feeding breakfast that has been shared by the sisters consumption section.

    "A little bit, Mah .." said Podin who received a bribe from his wife.

    Surely, Podin obeyed the words of his wife. And Podin raised his head, which was stuffed with pillows and bolsters. Of course, let it ease when eating. Then received a bribe from his wife, breakfast porridge given by the hospital, which of course was for health, so that Podin quickly recovered his health.

    Yes, indeed in the meantime, the infusion support pole is still on the bed bed, and the infusion bottle is still hanging there. That means that Podin still has to get intravenous fluids inserted into his body, a lot of nutritional intake, and drugs so that his body condition will recover soon, so that his body condition will be healthy again. Of course, when Podin who was knocked by the eclipse, Podin who disappeared overnight and met had been leaning on a tree branch in unconscious condition until two days and two nights, Podin who was in the Hospital also did not realize himself, even had said that Podin was in a coma, which of course had made Ms. Melan's heart familiar, worried, because if until her husband was not helped, it would not be helped, she will definitely be a widow.

    Finally, after getting a prayer from his pastor, prayed by the congregation who joined Podin, then at that time Podin received help from God. Podin can be awakened, and Podin can be conscious. Even today, although the state of Podin is still in a very weak condition, he can already talk. He can move his limbs. At least Podin has started to improve his health. Just waiting for time, which of course to restore health is not an easy thing. Especially the condition of such a podin. It was also said that he had symptoms of a stroke. At least, in the medical world, this disease suffered is a mild stroke.

    Yes, but another fact says that that night during a lunar eclipse, Ms. Melan saw with her own eyes that her husband that night fell out of bed, and it was as if her husband's body had been dragged away by an unseen creature, which was brought into the chamber of the Secret Room of Podin, which no one could enter. But in reality, after Ms. Melan searched her husband into the room, the reality she experienced, which she saw, her husband simply disappeared.

    And even more bizarre is when Podin was found slung in a large and tall tree branch. Well, it's like outside of human nalaer. The podin disappeared inside the room, but was found on a tall tree branch. That's reality. Wanting to not believe, the truth was that everything happened that way. And even that is very strange. Cannot be reasoned by the ordinary human mind.

    But based on the beliefs of the people in his village, Podin was eaten by an eclipse, during a lunar eclipse. Usually, the villagers perform a beating kentongan during an eclipse, so that the eclipse does not interfere with the lives of residents. Do not mengondol his son, so as not to eat his agricultural crops. So during the eclipse, there are also residents who hit the trunk of the tree, so that the plant is not eaten.

    But apparently, Podin by the villagers did not pay attention to the eclipse event. It is also possible that Podin slept since the afternoon.There is no activity to dispel the eclipse approaching to his house. Moreover, Podin house is very far from the neighbors. Surely quiet and desolate. So Podin was eaten by the eclipse. Because maybe the eclipse was likely not strong carrying the body of Podin, then only sucked the inside only. And the rest of his body was placed on a tree branch. Luckily, Podin's body was still intact, nothing was missing. No one is eaten. Nothing is taken away by the eclipse. Maybe when the eclipse will bring the body of Podin, people are already busy hitting the fart, because Ms. Melan who screamed screamed for help. So the villagers immediately crowded out the eclipse and looked for the body of Podin who was hacked. Had the evil eclipse managed to prey on Podin's body, then it is likely that Podin would not have been found. And maybe also Podin's body has been torn to shreds or suffered heavy injuries.

    But in fact, although the body of Podin is still intact, although he had to experience some kind of unconscious pain, had been declared dying, Podin was still lucky his body was still intact. But the residents of Kampung also argue that Podin has been like memory loss. Usually, villagers who experience such things, experience the fate of being eaten by an eclipse, even if the body is still intact, no one is disabled, but usually he will be a crazy person.

    But for Ms Melan, who has believed in her faith since infancy, who also came to her home yesterday with her pastor and other congregants, who checked the secret room owned by her husband, who saw the place saved by Podin, it has another view, if the place is the place where Podin ally with idol creatures, creatures hated by God, and God, beings that must be cast away by the children of God.

    Yes, Ms. Melan also thought that her husband was actually allied with the devil. But of course she did not understand what her husband had been doing all this time. What had been done by Podin so that he had to suffer such torment. Maybe Podin had to suffer pain, Podin had to suffer a stroke, Podin had to suffer like a lack of memory, it was all a warning from God. Maybe God showed her husband's actions to Ms. Melan. And certainly, Ms. Melan must be able to awaken her husband, to show the light of Christ, to lead to the way of truth.

    In such circumstances, Ms. Melan always prayed, that her Lord would always make it easy for her husband, give health to her husband, restore all the energy that was in her husband's body. And above all, that the Lord may realize the deeds of her husband that deviate from the teaching of Christ. Ms. Melan believes and believes, surely God will help, God will certainly help.

    Well, that's Ms. Melan's belief. As the saying goes from his holy book, faith as big as mustard seeds can move mountains. Moreover, after she was able to invite her husband into the church, bring her husband to believe in his God, then Cik Melan also believed, that help from God was very powerful and powerful to provide convenience to her husband.

    Ms. Melan did not care about the words of the citizens of the community, who considered Podin a stroke, Podin lost his memory, Podin's brain was eaten by an eclipse, Podin's, there are even those who estimate that later Podin must be a less sane person aka crazy. There is also a suggestion to Ms. Melan to go find a shaman to cure her husband. Miss Melan ignored all of that. He continued to pray and believe in God. Ms. Melan was sure God would help her.
