DEVIL SNARES
CHAPTER 157

🍀 A Little Child 🍀

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.

"Hi, Brother. Sssst ..." said the son of Ningsih who then put his index finger on the lips of the omen for Revelation keep his existence a secret.

"Geez, what's up?" reno's question followed by everyone's view in the room was fixed on Revelation.

Feeling uncomfortable, the Revelation had to lie. "What's wrong, Reno. The revelation was just a misunderstanding" he said, who then tried not to pay attention to a corner of the room.

"It's really okay?" ask the worried Budi. He immediately whined for Revelation to draw near to Ningsih. "This ... thank God the Mama of Revelation is conscious," added Budi who smiled looking at the two mothers and children.

"Thank God, Om. Thank you Om Budi, Kakung Kyai, Kak Reno, Kak Santi, and Mak Sri for taking care of Mama until she recovers" said Wahyu who began to grow up in thought.

"Together, Revelation," they answered in unison.

Revelation immediately hugged the body of his mother who was still limp on the bed. "Ma .. Thank you for waking up. Sorry if the Revelation used to be so stubborn with Mama. The Revelation asks for forgiveness from God so that Mama will wake up from a long sleep," said Revelation while embracing Ningsih.

Ningsih. Unnoticed, tears dripped from Ningsih's eyes. He tried to move his hand to stroke the head of Revelation. "Wa-Wahyu .. good child," said Ningsih stammered because his tongue was still mute and his jaw was stiff.

"Thank you, yes, God. You grant the prayers of Revelation." The nine-year-old was unceasingly grateful. Making the people in the room feel overwhelmed.

The struggle they are doing is bearing fruit. Ningsih was aware of her dead survey. Pak Anwar and Budi did not feel the magical power there. They think this is all over.

After Pak Anwar invited them to pray together, Mak Sri rushed to make porridge to eat Ningsih. Santi, Reno, and Budi were still in Ningsih's room.

"Tante, recover soon, yes. Santi and Reno will always accompany Aunt. Like Aunty accompanying us." said Santi while stroking Aunt Ningsih's hand. The atmosphere of the haru made them powerless to hold back tears.

It was getting late, the night was coming. After Pak Anwar and Budi held a tumpeng selamatan, they also left Wahyu and Mak Sri in the room Ningsih. While Santi and Reno rest in the living room.

"Sir, if you sleepy just rest first. Revelation will take care of Mama" said Wahyu as if he understood Mak Sri's fatigue.

"Sorry, yes, Revelation. Mak permission to rest first. Good night, good light," replied Mak Sri who then kissed the forehead of Revelation and stepped into the next room to sleep.

Revelation awaits the sleeping Ningsih. Once there is no one else, Revelation immediately invites the talk of the child who was in the corner of the room.

"Hey, who are you? Why did you call me brother?" ask the Revelation who stands, walks, and approaches the little boy.

"I don't have a name yet. I'm his sister Wahyu" replied the little boy who was about five or six years old.

Revelation brought his face closer to the boy. Observe from head to toe. "Hmm, you're not floating, you're not a ghost. Then why can't anyone else see you?" investigate Revelation while squinting at the child before him.

"Ha ha ha .. shouldn't you show yourself to everyone? Brother, Mom's condition has improved, right? I'm tipping, yeah. I have to find Father." said the boy, making the Revelation even more clueless.

"Whose father? Then why call me brother? Why call my mom mother Mother? Weird." The head of Revelation is still filled with many questions.

"If explained, then the time is up. Revelation is so funny. Oiya, when Mom wakes up, tell her I'm looking for Dad, okay? Don't forget to ask for a name for me" the boy replied, twisting his eyes.

Revelation also remembered Om Bima. "Don't .. You're my Mama's son and Om Bim-" Not yet finished speaking, the boy immediately hinted at Revelation to put a mouth.

"Sst .. don't mention Father's name. They don't like Dad. It is good that Wahyu has understood. I'm leaving first." said the boy who then disappeared somewhere.

"Ma, recover soon, yeah. Revelation longs for Mama." Wept Revelation who sleeps in a chair while hugging Ningsih's hand.

The next day Ningsih awoke and found the Revelation praying nearby. The morning prayer, since the Revelation in the pesantren never forgets the five prayers of time.

After finishing the prayer, Revelation approached her mother who was already sitting on the bed. "Mama! Alhamdulilah Mama can sit and move," exclaimed the Revelation who was very happy.

"Yes, honey. Sorry, Mama. How long did my mom sleep? My mom's son is getting bigger. Add smart and polite as well," said Ningsih who widened his hands to embrace Revelation. Infusion is still installed in his hands, today it is likely that all medical devices will be removed if Ningsih's condition has improved.

"Nearly two years ... Mama sleeps well. Revelation is afraid. I was afraid that my mom would not open her eyes again. Do not dwell on Revelation anymore, yes, Ma." said Revelation while hugging tightly the body of Ningsih.

"Yes, honey. Forgive Mama, yes." replied Ningsih while hugging the child who had been lacking affection from her.

"It's okay, Ma. Mama is not wrong. Oh, yes, the Revelation wants to say. The little boy who said he was the younger brother of Revelation, hasn't been named yet, has he? He asked for a name, kept permission to go find ...." The revelation looked right and I made sure no one heard. "He's looking for Om Bima, Ma."

Ningsih was surprised to hear what the Revelation had to say. Should have been, he couldn't see his magical brother. In fact, until now Ningsih was still confused and could not decide to name the child.

"Revelation, don't tell anyone, okay? My mom doesn't want anything bad to happen again. Let that brother of Revelation live in a different world" Ningsih slowly explained.

"Yes, Ma. Just chill. Revelation is big. Don't think about complicated things. Most importantly Mama healed and recovered like before." The revelation calmed Ningsih down as if she was an adult. Verily, Revelation can be both a righteous child and a good sister to her magical sister.

In search through space and time ....

A little boy flew here and there to find his father. The boy knew who and how his father was, only, he was sad because he did not have a name. Do you know if Bima knows about the whereabouts of her child?

The energy was great, making some high-powered supernatural beings could have been eyeing the child. Great energy, but it does not stand out because the child is smart to dampen his strength. He penetrated through space and time, with courage that came out of nowhere.

Looking in the dreamland, subconscious, past, and future realms, as well as the spirit world, the result is nil. He rushed to Hell, where he should be. When the boy was at a gate of Hell, he saw something that made him inevitably have to go in there.

"Dad? Is that Dad? Why is Dad in Sixth Layer Hell?" muttered the boy who accidentally saw a Bima-like figure inside the Sixth Layer Hell cell. The figure was glimpsed and there was a huge chain shackling his legs and hands.

The boy immediately went into hiding as the guard of Hell walked to check the conditions outside the gate. He confirmed back, is it true that he saw his father-Bima Prawisnu who disappeared for a very long time? The boy continued to observe while hiding. The figure closed his eyes and was in pain. The lash marks on his gaping back were clearly visible even from a distance.

"It seems, it was indeed Dad! I need to figure out how to free Dad. If it's true that they have Dad, I won't stay silent!" the boy looked at himself. Without help, without guidance, she acted according to what was in her heart.

This kid doesn't realize that danger is lurking. The overwhelming energy made him the center of attention for the supernatural beings who wanted additional power. Slowly, the boy looked for a gap in order to get past the Sixth Layer Hell guard.

In the Sixth-Layer Hell, Lord Asmodeus in the seat of power sniffed out an incredible smell of energy. "Whose devil has this much power? The guard! Search and find out who the owner of the big energy is. Bring him in front of me!" lord Asmodeus orders five of his guards. He had never felt an energy greater than the energy of Bima. Bima has the privilege of having won the match and gained strength from His Holiness Lucifer. Could there be a Devil messenger stronger than Bima? This disturbs Lord Asmodeus because it can trigger a battle in Hell if the fight for power between the rulers of Hell.

"Dad .. It's me, your son. Dad ... is that you?" the inner child tried to focus his mind to talk to a figure like Bima.

The figure in the cell seemed to catch what the boy was saying. He opened his eyes slowly, then gazed outside the Sixth Layer Hell gate. He tried to move his crumpled body. He looked towards the child and smiled without being able to say anything.

"Could it be Dad? But ... Why just shut up? What if I'm wrong? Ah, how's this?" muttered the confused boy, between going into Sixth Layer Hell and making sure or waiting first.
