Asmi woke up when it was night. He looked around her. The situation inside the house was pitch black. Only a beam of light from the street lighting in front of his house only broke through the windshield window of his house that was not covered by curtains.
" Oh, it's dark. Where's my hape, huh? " Asmi grabbed her tote bag and reached into it looking for something. After he could cry out.
" Ah. can. Here comes my hape. Hopefully it can still light up! " Asmi immediately pressed the power button on the back of her cellphone and soon the phone lit up. There are some messages that appear to be coming in via WhatsApp. But Asmi did not intend to open it.
Asmi presses the flashlight button to turn on the flashlight. He went to the bathroom because he had peed.
Asmi walked slowly down the hallway of the house to the bathroom which was located already in her head outside with only a flashlight in her hape. He had already pressed the electric switch button on the wall of his house but apparently the electricity in the house was off. 'Dead, maybe I forgot not to pay the electricity bill for this month.' he thought.
He sighed, he only realized that since the death of his mother a few months ago, this house had become abandoned. Electricity bills are not paid.
His mother died a few months ago from heart disease, following his father who had left them when he was still in High School.
Asmi went into the bathroom, washing her face with water. The coldness of the water made the haggard Asmi face become a little fresh. He immediately completed his desire to urinate.
Without him noticing there was a pair of eyes that had been watching him ever since he entered the house. The pair of eyes sparkled and still continued to pay attention to all the behavior of Asmi in the house. Followed Asmi wherever the woman stepped without realizing it.
Asmi returned to the living room. He opened his wallet and took out a piece of twenty thousand shards. Asmi intends to go out to the mbok Ati stall, her late mother's neighbor to buy instant noodles, candles, eggs and mineral drinking water.
Lucky for him because the shop Mbok Ati is still open until night so he can buy all the items he needs.
Just as his foot stepped off the stall of Mbok Ati, a voice greeted him.
" Where, the Asmi Deck? " Asmi turned her head and found Mas Wira next door to her mother's house was standing looking at her with a look of pity. Perhaps rumors about her being divorced by her husband have spread in this village.
Asmi sighed while lowering her face reluctantly returning Mas Wira's gaze.
" It's buying candles, instant noodles, eggs and drinking water, Mas" Asmi showed the items he had bought from the Mbok Ati stall to Mas Wira.
" Oh yeah, the electricity at your late mother's house went out a week ago, dlek"
" Yes, I forgot to pay the bill last month" Asmi looked down. He was careless because Wira still kept staring at him.
He really hated that look. A look of pity directed at him. Hmh! he doesn't need pity. Let the world know that Asmi is the woman who was divorced by her husband because of barrenness. The woman who was cheated on by her husband for not being able to give her a child. Asmi feels her own smell.
The hero moves forward towards him. Standing right in front of Asmi, he grabbed her by the shoulder and said, "So sorry about what happened to you, Dek. I hope you can be patient in the face of this trial. Don't hesitate to ask for help if you need help." Asmi nodded slowly.
" Yes, thank you Mas, then excuse me first." said Asmi as it passed from the presence of Mas Wira. He did not want to talk for long with Mas Wira for fear of being a gossip considering the status of her who had just become a widow with barren frills.
Asmi did not know that there was someone who had been watching her. The person showed an expression of dislike when he saw Asmi talking to Mas Wira. His hands clenched holding in fury.
He did not like Asmi talking to the man. And He also hates to see the look of pity but also longs from the man to Asmi.
Hmh! Inspiration to throw spit violently. The man undoes his intention of wanting to meet Asmi.
At first he intended to deliver a little shopping money for Asmi because however Asmi was still his wife until the official talaq letter from the court came. He already knew from the story of his neighbor this afternoon if Asmi occupied the house of his former father-in-law.
But what he found was Asmi talking to Wira. The man he knew had long harbored a taste for the woman who would soon become his ex-wife.
Jealousy roiled in his chest. Burning his desire to meet Asmi and choosing to go home with an upset heart filled with anger. He did not expect that fast Asmi could be with other men.
Instant noodles mixed with eggs that have been left unnoticed in the bowl. He was very hungry because from the morning his stomach had not filled anything. He was lucky because the gas stove at his late mother's house was still functioning well and there was also a gas supply in his tube.
" Ah, full. After this I'm gonna go clean up the suitcase."
Asmi cleaned her used bowl of food. Then she went to the living room to pack her suitcase and carry-on bags into her room. He had deliberately chosen the room he used to occupy, the one he used to occupy, although there are still two rooms that are still empty, namely his mother's room and Mas Ardi's oldest brother's room which is now in Central Kalimantan with his wife and children.
Asmi puts her clothes in the wardrobe and then replaces the old bed sheet with a new one.
Asmi who felt a little tired then leaned her body on the back of the bed while opening her cellphone. He intends to see the messages that enter through his personal Whatsapp. But it was only a moment when suddenly his eyes caught a black shadow moving in the corner of his room. "Who's there? "
The shadow stopped moving. Asmi felt her hair standing up, there was a sudden fear of ambush but she tried to expel her fear by reading some holy verses that she memorized.
Asmi saw that the black shadow no longer existed. He continued to open his Whatsapp.
But when Asmi was busy checking the chat from her friends, from the corner of her eyes Asmi saw something moving in the corner of her room. This time it was not a black shadow but more shaped like a human shadow.
"If you come here just to bother me, then you're wrong Hai, you bastard! " Snapped Asmi at the shadow.
Since childhood Asmi often saw various sightings of supernatural beings, because she was blessed with eyes that could see the supernatural realm. For this reason, when she was a child, Asmi was active in learning to teach in order to repel these creatures if they intended to disturb her.
Asmi sits cross-legged on the bed while her mouth commats kamit chanting sacred prayers while expending her inner energy. Not in vain he also studied kanuragan science on his late grandfather first. Of course, all of that is now useful for him when pinched to defend himself.
" Allahu akbar!!! " cried Asmi while directing her power towards that shadow.
The shadow moved to avoid Asmi's attack. The wind blew against his face accompanied by a subtle voice sounded along with the moving of the shadow to the other side of the room.
" I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, I just wanted to get to know you" The shadow was now moving towards Asmi. Asmi is alert. He went down to the floor and started putting up the horses for the next attack.
" You are there, whoever or whatever you are. Show your true form now!" Asmi's word to the shadow.
"Hmm, are you sure of what you said? Aren't you afraid of me? " the shadow is now moving closer and closer towards Asmi.
" I'm not afraid of creatures like you! Just show your form now" replied Asmi with sharp eyes.
" Well, if that's what you want!" Instantly, the shadow slowly turned into smoke which then changed into a very handsome young man.
Asmi took a few steps back realizing what kind of creature was standing faced. "You are from the jinn" Asmi sissed as her hands crossed in front of her chest, preparing to install a stance to attack.
