DEVIL SNARES
CHAPTER 156

🍀 SURRENDER 🍀

One year later ....

Time goes by so fast. A lot of things happened without Ningsih's knowledge. Now, Revelation is becoming an independent child. The age of almost nine years made him grow into a talented child santri. Anwar loved the boy very much.

While Reno and Santi, all this time they have returned to the city of Yogyakarta. Once a week, precisely during the weekend, they visit the pesantren to visit Revelation and of course see the state of Aunt Ningsih.

Ningsih was still unconscious. The health workers have given up. In fact, Budi several times replaced health workers who monitored Ningsih's condition and installed infusions and oxygen hoses. Budi still hopes, the woman who became his boss will soon realize.

PakLek Darjo after returning to Salatiga, did not return to the pesantren because his wife several times sick. Both of his children often come home because they are worried about the condition of his mother. Santi and Reno also visited PakLek Darjo's house several times.

While the life of Joko's family, slowly getting destroyed. Since the departure of Joko who became the backbone of the family, the economy of the Joko family dropped dramatically. Moreover, Ningsih simply disappeared. Nindy, who is young and has just graduated from High School, works odd jobs to help the family economy.

Nindy gives up on working hard. He is overwhelmed with all the trouble that exists.

"Where, Nin? So not yesterday? I'm super rich for you!" said Nindy's friend who offered her 'Om Happy.

Poverty makes Nindy take the wrong shortcut. "Yes, I want to. The price is high!" sahut Nindy who was preening in front of the mirror, after work hours ended.

"Relax, I found something super rich for you. She's two hundred million of your origin still a virgin" Mince whispered as he looked left and right making sure no one heard.

Nindy was silent for a moment. Actually, he didn't want this to happen. However, Abah has been sickly since Bang Joko left. Mother is the same. Their homes were sold for medical expenses.

Nindy's been trying to contact Aunt Ningsih but nil. At first, Nindy was still communicating with Santi and Reno. However, they cover up the reality about Aunt Ningsih. Over time, they get busy and forget about Nindy. The girl is heartbroken when Reno forgets her promise to marry. This made Nindy persuaded by Mince's offer to sell virgins for hundreds of millions.

"Hey, Nindy .. What, even dumbass? So, right? I made an appointment at the Sky Lounge Hotel" Mince said, breaking Nindy's daydream.

"Yes, so! I'm getting ready first" said Nindy who bounced.

Nindy had no idea that day was the beginning of a very long story. Nindy sells virginity to help the family economy. Staying in a rented house and having to move if you can't pay, making Nindy who had been working as a restaurant waiter gave up on the situation.

***

That day, Santi and Reno were going to the pesantren. As usual on Saturday, they went to the boarding school to look at Revelation and Aunt Ningsih. Then back to town on Monday morning. It becomes routine for them.

"Reno, are you ready yet?" santi asked her sister.

"Udah, Brother. Let's go!" exclaimed Reno who is now more mature and handsome.

Since the tragedy, Santi began to open up and often participated in religious activities such as lectures and charity bazaars. He also often helps Budi when the boarding school has an event. However, Santi's heart was still empty. There is no man who made her fall in love like when she saw Joko.

While Reno, she decided not to continue with Nindy because many things were considered. If he stays with Nindy, it will be harder for Kak Santi to forget about Joko. Moreover, Aunt Ningsih was still unconscious from the suspended animation. Reno put her feelings aside for the sake of family. Although Reno does not know if it makes Nindy heartbroken terribly.

On the way to Wonogiri, Santi invites Reno and ends up asking her relationship with Nindy.

"Reno, how is Nindy? You still communicate a lot, don't you?" santi asked, making Reno surprised.

"Ehm, no, Brother. It has been seven months of lost contact. I sent him. Suddenly, he changed his phone number" Reno replied as he was.

"Astagfirullah, why did you break up? I thought your relationship was good. But he never chatted brother again. What's up, Reno?" It seems that Santi is sad to see his sister's decision without talking to him first.

"It's okay, really. Reno is already big, can choose his own way of life. After all, Nindy deserves more than Reno" Reno said, covering up the real reason.

Although deep down, guilt lingered and did not want to leave. What power, Nindy has changed phone number even when Reno stole time to fly to Jakarta, Nindy's house has been sold and no one knows where to move. To be honest, Reno felt lost, but what could he do?

The journey was quiet because Reno and Santi were swept away in their respective thoughts. Not felt, they arrived at the boarding school after a three-hour trip.

"Assalamualaikum, Mr. Anwar," cried Reno excitedly.

"Wa'alaikumsalam .. wow, Nak Reno and Nak Santi. Please enter!" replied Mr. Anwar who was in the front office of the pesantren.

Reno and Santi come in. A moment later, Mak Sri ran towards Pak Anwar. "Anwar! Anwar!" said Mak Sri who was in a hurry.

"What's up, Mbakyu? Do not run, remember the age." replied Mr. Anwar who approached Mak Sri.

"Well, there's Den Reno and Non Santi, huh? Let's go to Madame Ningsih's room. Di-dia ... moving." said Mak Sri while breathing hard because of running.

"What?" Let's go there" replied Reno, Santi, and Mr. Anwar simultaneously.

A trace of hope arose in the minds of Santi and Reno. Budi was already in Ningsih's room when Mak Sri ran to inform Pak Anwar.

***

Ningsih spent time talking to her son who was still a red light. "When can we get out of here? Son, you can hear Mom all this time, right?" ningsih said looking at the light that was getting bigger and bigger.

The darkness in the room began to fade. Ningsih felt a warmth, as if Bima was there too. Suddenly ... The light got bigger and seemed to explode. Ningsih was shocked and closed her eyes with both hands.

"I-mom ..." I see something coming from that red light.

"N-Son? You're my son?" asked Ningsih who was still guessing in confusion.

"Yes .. Let's get out of here. You don't have to be afraid" said the boy, who is about six years old.

Ningsih grabbed his son's hand. Son of Ningsih with Bima, very handsome. His smile made Ningsih remember Bima.

Then, they disappeared from the dark room. Ningsih's son takes her to the castle where Laurent lives.

Laurent welcomes the arrival of Ningsih and her son. Laurent was married to Daniel. On Laurent's return from the darkroom, he accepts Daniel's invitation to marry.

"Ningsih, you can finally return to your body. Today finally came. Hi, kid! Take good care of your mother, yes," said Laurent who somehow could see the faces of Ningsih and her son.

"Thank you, Laurent. I owe you a favor," Ningsih replied as she hugged the blind girl.

"It's okay. Hurry home. Go back to your body. May the magic come soon" said Laurent who smiled and was moved by the day that Ningsih was waiting for.

"Thank you, smart and kind woman. I'll bring Mom back." insisted Ningsih's son with a very adorable smile.

Ningsih also held his son's hand. They disappear. Crossing space and time. Until finally, Ningsih can enter his body.

***

Ningsib moved slowly. Mak Sri who saw that immediately ran for help. While Budi who saw Mak Sri running, went straight into Ningsih's room.

As Ningsih moved her hand, opening her eyes slowly, how surprised there was Budi there. "Didnickers? Ningsih, you're back!" exclaimed Budi who was very happy to see Ningsih open his eyes.

"Ugh .. why does it feel so heavy," said Ningsih who could not move her body.

After a year more Ningsih not united with the body, of course, make his body stiff. Difficulty moving for a while, is a natural effect if too long the spirit leaves the body.

There, in the corner of the room, there was Ningsih's smiling son staring at his mother. The power he possessed was much greater than Bima. Either because it sucks up energy in a dark room, or is it the miracle of fate. The presence of Ningsih's child who penetrated the magical fence could not be felt or known Budi even Anwar Pak.

Instantly, Santi, Reno, Mak Sri, and Pak Anwar entered Ningsih's room. How happy they were to see Ningsih was conscious, even though she could not move her body.

"Thank God, O Allah" they said at the same time.

Santi also approached Aunt Ningsih who was lying limp."Santi sure, Auntie must be awake. We never gave up on Auntie. Revelation too," said Santi who was moved to see this miracle.

Ningsih was about to speak, but a faint taste in her tongue made the words sound indistinct. "Te-thank you ..." whispered Ningsih painstakingly speaking.

At that time, Mr. Anwar invited them to pray and worship God. After that, Mr. Anwar invited the kitchen attendant to make tumpeng as a sign of gratitude.

Not to forget, they immediately informed the Revelation that is still in the classroom. Reno ran to the Revelation to tell him the good news.

"Revelation, let's go to your Mama's room. There's something important" said Reno excitedly.

"Yes, Brother Reno. What's wrong with Mama?" ask the curious Revelation.

"Your mother is conscious! Miracle happened!" exclaims Reno with sparkling eyes.

"Thank you, O God. Your prayers have all been granted" said the Revelation, which is grateful for this miracle.

Reno and Revelation walked quickly towards the room where Ningsih was lying. When entering the room. The revelation sees a child in the corner of the room. "Who, who is that?" ask Revelation while pointing towards the son of Ningsih.

The person in the room notices the angle that Revelation points to. But they saw nothing. Even Mr. Anwar and Budi could not see or feel the presence of the child.

Ningsih was surprised that Revelation could see her sister. Magical sister, the result of love Ningsih and Bima. The child smiled too.
