Buhul ghaib
Gathering

This morning, some people seemed very busy. They will bring Abah Kasim to meet someone at the top of the hill, which reportedly can cure strange diseases.

the palanquin the citizens made for Abah Kasim has been completed. From the foot of the hill to the place told by Abah Salim, they use motorcycles.

After reaching the middle of the road, the place to be addressed through the steep terrain. Then their motorbike just left in the forest. Then they alternately guided Abah Kasim to the top of the hill.

Some of them feel exhausted. Then they took turns carrying a stretcher.

Abah Kasim already looked very weak. Nakun residents still hope for a cure for Abah Kasim. Although Banaspati is very dangerous. Because it is rare that residents affected by the witchcraft will survive.

But as humans have an obligation to keep hoping for healing and not give up.

Lastri who felt exhausted, but still forced to continue the journey. Although actually they themselves are not where the existence of women mentioned by Abah Salim. They are looking for something uncertain.

At that time Asih was practicing archery while riding. Chakra watched him from behind.

He felt that Asih lately was too very difficult to manage. So Dina ordered the Chakra to watch over Asih.

Pulling the horse's harness, the horse stopped and walked slowly.

Asih saw a bunch of people who were like exhausted. Chakra also slowed down his horse's run. He also observes a group of people who are resting. An old man on a stretcher lay weak.

Asih wearing his veil, then approached the hordes of citizens followed by Chakra.

The citizens looked in amazement at Asih. "heei. It wasn't this girl who had eliminated Banaspati?" shouted one citizen.

Chakra looked at each word of the person. He felt that Asih had been secretly in the village without their knowledge.

"do you play too far.?" Chakra glanced at Asih who still looked silent.

"yes.. His person. Well, thank you for your help, miss." interrupted another resident.

Asih replied with a nod of his head.

They can be sure if Asih has a very beautiful face, even though he covers it with a veil.

He jumped lightly from his horse. It is followed by the chakras. He approached Abah Kasim who was lying weakly.

His heart pityed the old man. He recalled having met imi's grandfather before. He touched the grandfather's forehead by putting the back of his hand on the old man's forehead.

For a moment Abah Kasim's eyes opened, during the journey he was unable to open his eyes. But the touch was like maghnet pulling it.

At once people were amazed. Their hearts wondered about who Asih really was.

"Where are these groups going..?" ask politely.

"we want to see a female physician. She is young and beautiful. Someone told us that if he ever met the physician in this forest" replied one of them.

The Asih and Chakra look at each other. They believed that the person they were looking for was Dina, their mother.

"what are you looking for..?" tanya Asih full of search.

"we would like to ask the generosity of the physician to treat Abah Kasim who was affected by Banaspati witchcraft last night" they replied.

Trusting their words. Heading to the cave where they live is very far away. Impossible that they can reach it.

"alright, I'll take Abah Kasim to the healer you're looking for. But the location is still very far away, and you will not be able to reach it on foot" Asih explained.

People look at each other. They have to decide who goes there.

"dik's.. We haven't asked Mom for permission on this? And we can't just haphazardly bring strangers." Chakra tried to remind Asih.

"but this grandfather needed help, and they believed that the mother was able to heal him by God's permission. Remember brother, when one is sure, God willing will succeed." answered Asih.

Chakra was unable to refute Asih's slightly stubborn desires.

"i will take this grandfather on my horse, and only one person can accompany to hold this grandfather" said Asih.

"I am, I am his wife. " Lastri immediately volunteered.

"alright, the others can go home. Later I will deliver this grandfather to the village, if he is healed" said Asih explained.

Then the other residents agreed. But one of them did not believe it. "how can we trust the lady, if Abah Kasim is in the right hands.? While we do not know the lady and how there might be humans living in this wilderness." interrupted one of them.

"God will be the witness, if my words are true" Asih replied firmly. Then they agreed.

""Bara..! Sit down..!" He ordered his horse.

the horse obeyed Asih, and he sat down, and the people carried Abah Kasim's body, and sat him on the horse.

"hold the strong granny." Pinta Asih politely.

"Bara. Bring our guests home, safely." Asih ordered his horse. The horse understood. Then stand back up handsomely. Asih pulled the reins, and the brown horse ran fiercely towards the cave.

Asih rode on Chakra's horseback, and they caught up with Bara, who was carrying the grandfather and grandmother.

After they left, the people went back home.

Bara stopped in front of the cave, and Asih had also arrived.

Asih jumps lightly from the horse belonging to Chakra. It is followed by the chakras. Then Asih approached Bara.

Asih ordered Bara to sit down. The horse obeyed him and sat down. Chakra carries Abah Kasim's weak body into the cave. Put it on the stone bed.

Lastri also followed inside the cave. Asih looking for Dina, his mother. But don't find it in the cave. "where's mom, brother? Why isn't it in goa.?" ask the Chakra.

"maybe a gardener" replied the short Chakra.

Lastri spread his gaze around goa. He was very surprised, not expecting anyone to live in a place like this.

Dina carried a small basket on her back. He brought a lot of vegetables and tubers to their menu today.

While in front of Goa, he saw the Asih horse and Chakra were already there. "Based on the good boy, just go about his job." Dina shook her head.

"Asih.bantu mom bring this corn" cried Dina from outside the cave.

"yes, ma'am.." Answer Asih while running.

[deeegh.] Lastri's heart seemed to have slipped out of place. He still remembered the voice. "is that Dina..?" Lastri muttered in her heart softly.

He heard the footsteps of two pairs of feet.

Lastri turned his body, saw who appeared in front of the cave.

"haaah.." Lastri's eyes were flabbergasted at the person before him. He still couldn't believe what he saw.

A moment Dina pegged in front of the cave door. The basket he was carrying suddenly slipped out of his grip.

His mouth was open looking at the person in front of him.

"umi.." she said softly. Then he ran over to the woman, scattering himself in her arms. "Miss.." He repeated his words. His eyes began to glaze over. The clear thread he could not stand, fell wet his two white cheeks.

"Dina.are you alive, son? Why don't you go back to abah and umi..?" lastri Cecar.

He was constantly kissing Dina. His empty heart suddenly seemed to have gotten something missing.

"Why did Uki get here..?" ask Dina wonder.

"Uki brought Abah here, he got hit by Banaspati witchcraft.

"there was someone who told us if there was a physician who had the science of canuragan and was able to cure the disease" Lastri said.

Dina realized, if there's Abah here too. "Change.." Dina approached Abah Kasim who was lying weakly. He held his forehead with the back of his palm.

"Change.wake Abah." call Dina to Kasim gently.

Kasim blinked his eyes. He stared around the room. As his eyes clashed against Dina's eyes, he gasped in shock. Try to sit down even if weak. "A..Dina.." he said staggered. He touched Dina's face, making sure she wasn't dreaming.

"Yes bah. This is Dina." said Dina lirih, holding Abah Kasim's hand.

"are you alive, son..?" he said softly, as if what he saw was a mere hallucination.

"It is really Dina." said Dina reassuringly.

Abah Kasim limbung and Dina quickly caught him. Then lay the weak body in bed.

"wake up the bah, and heal from all diseases." whispered Dina lirih in the ear of Abah Kasim. Then suddenly a miracle happened. Abah Kasim opened his eyes, and looked fit again.
