BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 178: CONFESSION

    Podin is healed. He is healthy and can go home from the hospital. Doctors and nurses said Podin had less blood. After being infused and transfused, of course, it can immediately add to the blood needed in the body of Podin.

    Of course Ms. Melan smiled happily, watching her husband return to health. Let alone watching her husband who can smile, even laugh when invited to joke. Of course Ms. Melan can't wait to take her husband home. He said he was tired of sleeping in the hospital.

    So that afternoon, Ms. Melan immediately packed up and invited her husband to come home. And after finishing all the affairs of the hospital administration, they continued to rush home. By driving a beloved old car, Podin, who was driven by his loyal employees, followed his boss.

    Jakarta - Parung trip is not too long. The journey from the hospital where Podin was treated, to arrive at the house of Podin only takes about an hour and a half drive. And of course, after arriving home, Podin was welcomed by some residents who wanted to know his situation.

    "It's healthy, yes ..., Mr. Podin ...?" ask some residents who certainly hope that Podin is really healthy.

    "Yes .... Thank goodness, it's healed .... Sehat ..." answered Podin to his guests who came to want to know the news.

    "May Mr. Podin continue to be healthy .... No more pain ..." said the guests.

    "Aamiin ..." said Podin along with Ms. Melan.

    They also immediately became friendly. While chatting and enjoying the treats presented by Cik Melan. There are many fruits and breads that are parcels or innate parcels of people who distinguish the Podin saart in the hospital. But there are also snacks and drinks taken from the grocery store, even snacks that buy in the market.

    Indeed, neither Podin nor Ms. Melan, were very much liked by her neighbors. In addition to the generous people, which is certain that Podin has given many opportunities to villagers to get a job, become employees in business places owned by Podin.

    And the neighbors came to visit Podin who had just returned from the hospital. Of course asking each other answers, telling each other, joking, chatting until the day becomes dark. And Miss Melan was relieved, because surely she could rest. Similarly, with Podin, which certainly needs enough rest for the recovery of his health.

    That night, on the bed, while laying down her body, Ms. Melan scowled her husband's body. Tentuny while talking small, as a bedtime delivery.

    "Our neighbors are all right, Mah .." Podin told Ms. Melan.

    "Yes .... They are very attentive to us." said Ms. Melan who still massage her husband's back.

    "We must be grateful ..." said Podin.

    "Yes, Pah .... And it must be even more grateful because God has helped Papah ..., has established from a strange disease in Papah's body ...." said Ms. Melan who is certainly very grateful because her husband is healed.

    "Rubber, Mah .... I have been sick for days .... Even until monthly. Repeatedly sick, which is reasonable and knowledge doctors have not been able to find out what exactly the disease attached to my body" said Podin who mused the pain of the disease he suffered.

    "Mahs .... The name of the pain can be as a test .... Like the story of the Prophet Job .... God is testing our faith .." replied Ms. Melan.

    "Yes, Mah .... But it can also be a punishment, Mah ..." said Podin.

    "What punishment ..., Pah ...?" ask Ms. Melan who wants to know the reason for her husband.

    "Yes .... I have sinned too much ..." replied Podin as his gaze glared to the ceiling of the house.

    "What sins ...?" ask his wife again, who would like to know.

    "Mahs .... I used to live in alliance with the devil .... Maybe it was a punishment given by God to me .... Mah .... Do I deserve to be a disciple of Jesus ...? Will I be saved by God ...?" of course Podin pondered his fate all along.

    "Sorry, Mah .... Maybe it's not worth saying to Mamah .... But it feels hard if I am damned in my heart" said Podin who now looks at his wife's face.

    "What's the matter, Pah ...?" asked Cik Melan whose soft fingers immediately stroked her husband's cheeks.

    "Maybe all the diseases in my body are curses from evil demons that always haunt my life." said Podin.

    "The evil devil ...? What kind of evil devil, Pah ...? What came out of yesterday's eclipse first ...?" ask Ms. Melan who is getting curious.

    "Yes .... The devil is the ruler of Pulau Berhala .." replied Podin.

    "Devil ruler of Pulau Berhala ...?!" Ms. Melan was curious.

    "I once asked for a courtesy to the ruler of the palace of Pulau Berhala .." replied Podin with a face that looked somewhat hesitant. He was worried that his wife was angry.

    "Pah ...What is the ruler of Pulau Berhala like? Why hurt Papah continuously?" ask Ms. Melan who is certainly curious about her husband's story.

    "I don't know the truth .... But when the eclipse happened, when my body was dragged, there were palace executioners Pulau Berhala who dragged and threw my body until it fell on the altar of the palace of Pulau Berhala. At that time, it was as if the royal cavities were dragging the moon into the palace. But suddenly, from the moon that was dragged, appeared a strange, terrible giant creature. Wearing wings like an enormous bat, his legs were huge, his head was like a dragon, with eyes that lit up like a fireball, from his nose came out hot smoke, as well as from his mouth also spitting fire. His hand held a spear with three terrifying sharp spear eyes. That demonic incarnate thing threatened me ..." - a frightened-looking Podin story.

    "Threatening how, Pah ...?" ask Ms. Melan, who would like to help with her husband's problems.

    "He demanded I give the show .... Otherwise .., surely his executioners will pursue my life .... Hence ..., I was always sickly ..., and the doctor could not find the disease .... It must have been a disease of the ruling demons of the Island of Berhala .." said Podin to his wife.

    "So ..., all this time Papah was still terrorized by the devil ...?" ask his wife who is certainly curious about the fate of her husband.

    "Yes .., Mah ..." replied Podin.

    "Jeez ..., Pah .... Why didn't Papah tell you the story before ...? Do we need to ask for help from the Pastor and the congregation friends again ...?" said Ms. Melan who would immediately want to ask for help prayer.

    "But, Mah ....?!" Podin. He certainly did not want his territory to be known by others.

    "It's okay ..., Pah .... For Papah's safety ..." said his wife.

    "But I'm ashamed, Mah ..." said Podin.

    "Then why ...?!" ask wife.

    "Yes .., our treasure comes from the devil ..." said Podin who was aware that the wealth he obtained from the Island of Idols is not good.

    "Yes, later the language we pack as best we can .... So that others do not know the case that occurred. It is clear to ask for the prayer of salvation." said Ms. Melan to Podin, so that her husband would be prayed back by his pastor and his church members.

    "Yeah .., please, Mah .... How good, I resigned." said Podin who had already told me.

    Sure, Miss Melan smiled. And of course, she wanted to save her husband from the devil. Only confession to God, and repentance alone can save Podin. Thus, the prayers of repentance are believed to help Podin, so that he is saved by the Lord Jesus Christ.
