Hey Indigo Girl (The Series) TAMAAAAAT!!!!
19. The kidnapped child

"Darling, what?" radit asked as he reached the courtyard of the house.

"Salt sow. It's kliwon tuesday night, Dit. Yesterday we were waiting to sow salt under the same window door, the outside. Let the demon can not enter," explained Aretha still doing it until it is done all.

"Oh that. I didn't even know it was kliwon Tuesday night, honey. Have you finished sprinkling the salt? If I haven't, I'll help you" Radit said.

"Udah is done. Yes, we go in first. Magrib soon."

"Come, sweetie."

Radit then embraces Aretha's waist. Walk side by side into the house.

"Would you take a hot bath, honey?" aretha asked as they entered the room to put Radit's bag and suit.

"Eum, no need, honey. I took a cold shower. Let's fresh. Not too late anyway. Oh yes, how was Mr Slamet with Mas Ratno? Any complaints from them during work today?"

"Not really, honey. But today they just dismantled the ruins of the bathroom he said. Tomorrow we start to wake up. There are a lot of broken walls. Wonderful deh. The bathroom has been hit by an earthquake or what? How can it be so shaped."

"Maybe the right development is less material, so easily damaged, dear."

"Then anyway? How weird."

"Udah. Don't think weird. I take a shower, yes" Radit said, then kissed Aretha on the forehead.

While waiting for her husband to finish bathing, Aretha decided to make coffee. Azan's voice sounded faintly faint. Although their house was not close to the mosque, the call of prayer could be heard.

"Do you want worship, honey?" radit asked as soon as he came out of the bathroom, still with some parts of the body that were still wet because of the ablution water.

"I think I'm having my period, Dit. I'm gonna check first. You pray alone, yes," said Aretha.

"Oh okay, honey. I'm going to the room first, yeah."

"Yes." Yeah."

While in the bathroom, Aretha felt that someone was knocking on the door. But since the voice sounded faint, then he thought it was not coming from the bathroom door. "Who, huh? How are there night guests like this. Still magrib again," murmured Aretha. He sped up in the bathroom and got out.

Once in the kitchen, Aretha again sharpened her hearing. He reassured again that the voice was indeed felt from the door and was real. The knocking is still heard. Samar yet repeated.

"Yes, really. There's a guest." Aretha rushed a small run into the living room. The voice was still heard but he stopped thinking.

'Don't open the curtains! Don't look outside!'

The words still ring in Areta's head. He still remembers exactly what he can and cannot do on Tuesday night Kliwon and Friday Kliwon. He said he should not see the genie figure wandering in the village. They shouldn't look at each other, because that would be dangerous. He knew, and was convinced, that the threat was not a figment, but a fact he did not need to prove. Aretha was certainly not that stupid to open her door just to see who was coming.

"It can't be human. I'd better let it go." Aretha returns to the kitchen to prepare dinner for Radit.

But when he reached the middle room the sound of the knock seemed to move. Aretha looked in all directions. He wanted to ascertain where the source of the sound was coming from. Until he looked up. Because he was sure that the sound this time came from the second floor.

Radit came out of the room, still wearing a sarong and a peci. His face seemed to shine as he finished the prayer. It made Aretha feel at ease staring at him. But not for tonight.

"Why, Honey?" radit asked astonished to see Aretha like a confused person.

"You hear that voice?" asked Aretha who was still focused on knocking on the door.

"There's guests?" ask Radit.

"I'm not sure if the guest is human, Dit. The whole village won't be out tonight. They already know it's Kliwon Tuesday night."

" Who do you mean? Is it the Jin who terrorized this Village?" tanya Radit immediately assumed.

"Can be. But last time I was in the bathroom a knock on this door came from the front door. I was in the living room but I didn't open the door and I didn't look out either. But when I got back here, her voice moved upstairs. Listen to me, am I right?" ask Aretha.

Hearing that Radit was silent while looking up. "Yes, it looks like the voice is indeed coming from above. But why so hard? Couldn't it be that the genie had entered one of the rooms upstairs?" ask Radit.

"Hem, I don't know, Dit. I also don't know and don't dare to check."

" But all the windows and curtains in every room are closed, right? If it's not wrong that's their advice to us yesterday?"

"I checked downstairs, but I haven't had time to check the 2nd floor. Before I asked Mr. Slamet, he said everything was closed and locked. But if so, why is there such noise in the room. Looks like it's in the master room, isn't it?"

"Hem, yes it seems. Do I need to check?" ask Radit.

"Don't!" aretha screams.

"OKAY. We're just gonna let it go?"

"I called Mr. Slamet first to make sure. He was afraid to forget" said Aretha.

"Okay, honey."

They both seemed anxious about the situation at hand. Because the beats are getting louder with frequent intensity.

Areta called Mr. Slamet's phone number. Just a few seconds the phone was connected and there was already a voice of the man across.

"Assalamu'alaikum?" greet the man. But judging from his voice seems to turn on Mr. Slamet.

"Vaalaikumsalam. Sorry, Mr Slamet is there?" ask Aretha.

"Father is in the bathroom, Ma'am. How's it? Is there anything important? Let me call you."

"It... Mr Slamet's son?"

"Rubber, Ma'am. I'm Ridho."

"Eum, gini please ask the Father, the door in the main room and then the top has been closed yet, huh? Balcony doors and windows?"

"Oh, I said Father first. Ma'am, wait a minute, yeah."

"Yes." Yeah."

Silent sound, there is only the sound of the signal rustling because of the air around. But it didn't take long, Rido re-connected with Aretha.

"Sir, this is Dad already out."

"Hello, Sister Aretha? The balcony door was closed. What's the matter, Mommy?"

"Gini, Sir. My husband heard a knock on the door in the main room. It seems to come from inside the room. Is it possible that the genie has entered the main room, sir?"

"Astagfirullah. Is that right, Ma'am? But I've closed the door and locked the window too. But... I asked Ratno first, because he was the last one out of there."

"Good, Ma'am."

The phone rang several times until finally the phone was picked up by Ratno.

"Yes, Sir? What's up?" ask Ratno.

"So the doors, windows, and curtains in the main room of Ms. Aretha's house have you closed, right?"

"It's okay, sir. Doors and windows. Why why?"

"Someone knocked on the door in the master room, Mas Ratno. I think it was from inside the room. It sounds like people knocking at the door. But how could there be anyone in the upstairs room, right?"

"Eh, Ma'am Aretha also there apparently. Yes, Ma'am, as I remember I closed everything. But... Holy hooch! Oh, my God, Ma'am! I forgot!" peekik Ratno's.

"Forgot what, Mom?"

"I haven't closed the curtains yet!" jerrit Ratno. He also repeatedly apologized for his carelessness. Even Mr. Slamet also scolded him completely.

"Yes already. It's okay, Mom."

The call was terminated unilaterally by Aretha.

"Where, honey?" ask Radit.

"Huft, the doors and windows are closed, but... The curtains are not yet, Dit. Apparently just because of the curtains, the creature can enter the upper room," said Aretha.

"God! Seriously? So really that thing up there is that thing?"

"Yes." Yeah."

The two are silent with a troubled mind. The knock on the door that was originally slow, turned hard. Even now seem to want to break down the door.

Radit looked at Aretha and ran up the stairs to get to the door. Once he got to the top, Radit held the door open. "This door's locked, right?" radit asked half-screaming.

"Eum, don't know. Wait, I'll get the keys first!" Aretha rushed to retrieve the key that was in the room nightstand drawer. That key is the key to all the rooms in the house. He then ran after Radit, and put the key into place. Aretha poultices in which direction the door should be if the door is locked. It turned out that the door of the room had not been locked, and he managed to lock it in time. But Radit held back the door because the push from within was still strong enough. He was worried that the creature would be able to successfully rush into their home after breaking through the main room door. Aretha also helped her husband by pushing a sideboard near them and pushing it.

"Darling, strong isn't it?" radit asked when he saw his wife was a little overwhelmed pushing the big thing.

"Constrictly strong. You hold on a minute!" Aretha struggled to push the table until she finally made it to the door. Radit then helped Aretha until finally the door was held back by a fairly heavy buffet.

"No, make this door?" aretha asked while watching the door being continuously pushed from within.

"God is strong, baby. Let's help dhikr and pray, yuk," Radit asked.

Aretha nodded then they both got down and chose to sit on the living room sofa while reading the Koran. Because Aretha was menstruating, she just chanted dhikr with prayer beads given by her mother. Although Radit is a convert, but his tajwid reading is quite good. Of course after being embraced by Joseph, he can follow the knowledge given and he has applied in daily life. Now they are more compact and solid, especially in the face of invisible creatures.

Until midnight, they continued to chant the holy verses of the Quran and dhikr hoped for protection from the Almighty God. At last Aretha was tired.

"I'm tired, Dit. Sleepy," he said, rubbing his eyes.

"Yes, you sleep. Let me continue."

"Eh, but... No noise, right? Is he gone?" ask Aretha.

"Eh yes. Bener too. He seems to be gone, honey. I'll check upstairs!" radit said enthusiastically.

"Eh, no! The danger!" prevent Aretha and immediately hold Radit's hand from leaving.

"Not what, baby. I will be heart. You just wait here, yeah."

"No! I want to come with you!"

But suddenly now the sound of clanging sounded loud. The sound came from the street in front of their house. Not only was the sound of a clap alone, but the screams of some people started to sound.

"That's... What's up, huh, Dit? It seems like the voice of the villagers!" aretha.

"Yes, I think so too. How do we check ahead?" tanya Radit asked for his wife's approval.

"Yes, let's look ahead!"

They both left the house without thinking. Because they feel confident that the sound they hear is coming from villagers who pass in front of their homes. Apparently true if it turns out some residents are flocking in the road in front of their homes while carrying torches. Many people come along. This made the couple wonder.

"Don't they say don't go out tonight, huh?" ask Aretha astonished.

"Yes. Could it be the wrong day, Yang?"

"No way. If it's the wrong day, it's the one in whose upper room dong?"

"Yes yes. Let me ask them."

Radit approached the highway followed by Aretha. He intercepted one of the citizens out of curiosity at what was happening.

"Mas, what's up, huh?" ask Radit.

"That, Mas. There's a little boy who was brought in the same umm Sibyan. Here we are looking for him!" obviously the young man who came to beat in the back row.

"Couldn't you? Then what if we come out like this, he won't show up? We can't get out of the house, can we?" ask Aretha.

"If there is a victim, he will hide with his victim. This time it was Mr. Dirno's son. He's 8 years old. We're trying to find the kid again."

"Yes my. We're coming, yeah, Mas!" said Radit. When he looked at Aretha, he,

His wife nodded quickly.

"Byeah, Mas. Go, hurry! Do not fall behind the front row" he said again.

They rushed after the person who had already walked ahead first. The atmosphere of the village that should have been quiet, suddenly became crowded. Most of the people came out of the house to look for the missing child.

"Why does the concept look like a gombel wewe, huh?" aretha asked as she walked following the line in front.

"Yes, that's it, ma'am. The genie was never like this. The most distraction is only until the child is fussy. But now he had dared to take a child in this village."

"Have there ever been anything like this before, too, Mom?" ask Radit.

"Earlier. Fortunately the boy found. After hearing the news, we all had to find the boy until we met. Because if it's morning, then it's unlikely to be found again."

"Yes Pardon. I hope the boy meets, yeah."
