FIRST DAY
Aminah's meeting with her grandfather led her to a journey that is difficult for human reason in general to understand. On the day Aminah met her grandfather for the first day, she was taken to a spring, the fountain of Cibungur, as the people around her called it. I don't know what's behind the name of the place. Ci means water and Bungur means Purple. The spring is located in the southern end of the village of Cibunar, a little like a valley but not too deep, and is located in a lush forest with dangling bamboo trees. The place is not too far away and approximately 50 meters from the surrounding settlement. Just have to pass a slightly decreased path to get to the place. The source of the spring is used by locals as a place to bathe, wash and latrine during the day.
Actually out springs in that place because there is a very large kiara tree, approximately the size of 3 buffalo. The tree looks haunted with some of its roots the size of an adult calf seen piercing the ground. From under the tree came a spring as big as a thumb. The community accommodated the water by making a small dam measuring 4x3 meters, just below the large tree. According to locals, the water came out because there was a big tree. If the tree is cut down, the water will dry up, he said. And right under the big tree that Aminah lived on the first day he was taken by the grandfather.
Aminah's feelings at that time could not be explained. He just realized it was night, and he realized he was in the woods. There was no illumination, but no feeling of fear at all. Both her breasts began to swell and feel heavy, she wanted to breastfeed her child. But he could not do anything, he was just fixated, like being under the influence of hypnosis, and only the grandfather was beside him. In a state of Aminah fixated still unable to act anything, Aminah realized at that time she heard the incisions from a distance the cries of those who called her name. "Dina... Interests... Amina... Aminah...!!!". The voice slowly but surely approached Aminah.
A few moments later. "Dina... Interest...!!!". The voice was now clearly heard by Aminah. And right in front of Aminah, about 4 meters away in the darkness of the night, he could see the sparks of torchlight across the path in front of him. Aminah clearly saw Mr. Osin and several others who were at that time conducting a search, passing right in front of him. Even so, they seemed to be unable to see it. Aminah at that time wanted to ask them about the news of the baby. But his mouth felt locked, could not scream, could not move, but he wanted his heart to ask the news of the baby he was born, but he could not do anything. Slowly but surely, eventually the search team began to move away from the location where Aminah was. Only Aminah and her grandfather did not leave the place. The grandfather then said, "My grandson, tomorrow we will move to Cilamping". Cilamping is the name of the source of the next spring that Aminah will visit with the mysterious grandfather. Aminah could only nod.

SECOND DAY
It did not feel like the night was changing by day. Aminah has not been found. This is the second day he disappeared. At home, the baby Aminah continued to whine, only cries and cries filling the silence of her room. On that day the baby finally got a droplet of milk. The milk was obtained from the brother of Aminah who was forced to buy it to the city, because he felt sorry and worried about the condition of the baby Aminah. Eventually the baby gets a droplet of milk for the first time, even if it's just formula.
On this second day, during the day at the location where Aminah was, she could only sleep and sleep, or sometimes she woke up for a while. It seemed like the grandfather who accompanied her last night was no longer visible beside her, out of nowhere. But Aminah still remains in her condition, still as if under the influence of hypnosis. He can't move and can't do anything.
Day started to change again. The grandfather who had not been seen since, finally appeared again beside him. I don't know where it came from. The Grandfather at that time intended to continue his journey to the second place, namely to Cilamping. Carrying by the grandfather, they finally moved from that location to Cilamping. And they arrived at their destination.
It had been 2 days that Aminah disappeared, without her own understanding. This second night Aminah was in Cilamping, where the spring was located. The spring dripped between the rock rocks that formed a steep wall around it. Indeed, this location is quite far from the settlement, and is in a valley that is quite deep from the surface of the village of Cibunar. During the day there are only a few people who are doing bathing, washing and latrines in this place. In the evening there is never anyone who dares to pass to this place, because it may have to go through a path and bamboo garden that is quite shady, coupled with a fairly steep descent to go through it, and just beside it is a deep abyss that is lush with trees. The gorge leads to the flow of the Cimanuk river that stretches from north to south.
In the place where Aminah is now, she, as usual, can only stay glued to the grandfather beside her. On that night he felt very hungry, for almost a full day he did not eat. Because he was not strong enough to hold his hunger, Aminah finally asked for food to the grandfather. “Kek, I'm hungry!”, he said. The grandfather then offered him a piece of food. The food that the grandfather loved was not like food in general. The food was reddish black, just like a dull tile cut, and approximately the size of 3 adult fingers. This is the food that my grandfather gave me. Hungry, without thinking long finally the food reached his mouth. It doesn't taste anything when eating that food, it tastes tasteless. Surprisingly, after eating the food, Aminah felt full enough and did not feel thirsty anymore.
The night began to change. Observing that grandfather was no longer beside her, it seemed like he had disappeared or left for a while. But the state of Aminah at that time was still as it had been in the days before, unable to do anything, and all she could do was to remain still and sleep.

THIRD DAY
It was not felt that the third day Aminah had disappeared. Aminah's family still continues to be overwhelmed by a state of panic not because, thinking about the condition of her son who has not been known to be the limp. Finally, at the initiative of nearby neighbors, the Aminah family was asked to find a smart person. They argue, perhaps the disappearance of Aminah because there was interference by the magical creatures of the jinn who kidnapped him.
Aminah's family at that time immediately responded to the initiative of one of her neighbors. They are looking for smart people to help them. From person to person they ask about people who are about capable of helping him. Until finally, Aminah's parents were shown to a house. The house was not very nice, only a modest stilt house, with bamboo rooms used as the walls of the house. The house is still located in the village of Cibunar. Mang Upis the name of the owner of the house. The figure is not too high and likes to wear peci. Some of her hair was covered with gray hair, and her skin was black. Understandably the Upis mang is only a farm worker and a sheep farmer. Mang Upis was not really a smart man, but he was the one who knew exactly who could help the Aminah family from the calamity it was facing. Mang Upis is only an intermediary who will later connect the Aminah family with the smart person in question.
Not waiting long, after the departure of his guest, Mang Upis immediately moved from his seat to meet the smart person in question. Not forgetting the pecinya, Mang Upis walked down the path to the neighboring village which is 4 kilometers from his home. Mang Upis seems to already know exactly the house where the smart person is. Yes, because indeed the smart man is still his close brother, Mbah Ukon the name of the smart man. The 70-year-old man was tall and thin, with beautiful eyes, and his hair looked white, but his posture still looked fresh even though he was no longer young.
Upon the arrival of the Upis mang in the house of Mbah Ukon, the Upis mang later told the details of the incident, from the beginning until Aminah was lost and still not found until today. Mbah Ukon nodded his mark understanding. Mbah Ukon was silent for a moment, closed his eyes and began to look. I don't know what he is doing, until finally Mbah Ukon advised through Mang Upis, so that the Aminah family provided frankincense, which is black frankincense that smells typical like frankincense in general. He said it was only with this frankincense that Aminah could be found, that too if it was not too late, he said. He also advised that he would soon meet the Aminah family to start looking for him.
While Aminah's family was busy with her affairs, Aminah was still in a location that could not be found. No one starts to change the night. And as usual, the grandfather who had not been seen the trunk of his nose, was now at his side. That night the grandfather planned to take him to the next spring. The spring was located in a fairly deep valley. People around call it Cinyusu. Residents around sometimes use the water source for daily needs. Aminah was then taken by the grandfather to the water source. And as always, there was nothing Aminah could do, she could only obey what the grandfather had ordered. Whenever he was hungry, he would be given the same piece of food as the days before. And by eating that food, he will feel full and not feel thirsty anymore.
*****
FOURTH DAY
Aminah's family had heard from Mang Upis to provide the conditions that must be fulfilled. The conditions also seem to have been provided, which is a handful of black solid color complete with the combustion place. Not long awaited, on this fourth day, precisely at noon, the person who was waiting for finally came, he was Mbah Ukon in black clothes and wearing black peci. He came with Mang Upis to meet the family of Aminah. After they gathered, Mbah Ukon then asked for the conditions in question. The fire began to burn. Mbah Ukon then closed his eyes, reciting words and spells that are difficult to understand.
Moments later, Mbah Ukon finally opened his eyes. In a slightly raucous voice, Mbah ukon said, "Thank God it is not too late. Later in the afternoon, take me to the southern border of Cibunar village!", he said.
The time we waited for finally arrived. Mbah Ukon accompanied by mang Upis and Aminah family finally headed to the location in question. Ciraja name of the location. The location is located to coincide with the path that is often passed by people to get out of the village of Cibunar. When the people of Cibunar to the city of Garut, this road is used as an alternative to get there. The path was slightly downhill, and overgrown with many bamboo and wood trees to his left and right. The road is also quite steep and muddy in the rainy season.
They were at the intended location. Mbah Ukon immediately sat down cross-legged and began to light incense while commuting a second time. After a while, finally the wanted Aminah appeared approximately 10 meters in front of him. His clothes were coiled, his position was lying on dry grass under a bamboo tree, and in a state of fainting. Mbah Ukon said, there was a figure of grandparents accompanying Aminah right beside him. He said that the grandfathers who accompanied Aminah ran away and fled because of fear.
So who exactly are these mysterious grandparents?
Mbah Ukon explained that the grandfathers were the incarnation of the jinn nation. He felt sorry for Aminah and intended to marry her. Had they been late at that time, Aminah would no longer have been found. Quoting from the information Aminah after the discovery, that he on the fourth day it will be taken by the grandfather to the kidul sea area in the Pameungpeuk region, Garut district.
Mbah Ukon just advised, do not leave the house in the time before the magrib for mothers who have just given birth. Because it is still the fishy smell of blood that will provoke delicate creatures to approach it, also not much daydreaming. Maybe at that time the village where Aminah lived was still 'geueuman' (angker), but now it is crowded.
Alhamdulilah, Aminah Finally Found. So what about her husband?
Her husband did not get married again, because at that time there was one of Aminah's brothers who worked in the Ministry of Religious Affairs, telling KUA not to marry a man named Mukmin, because he was married.
Until now Aminah lived peacefully with her family, along with stories that she could not possibly forget for the rest of her life.
