"A-what happened actually, Non?!" tanya Security was curious.
"I don't know, sir.. What is clear for now is not to accept guests for any reason, at least he has permission from the board or from Mr. Kyai first if you want to enter!" answer Maura.
He got up from his seat, grimacing slightly as his body ached all because he slightly used his strength to dispel the creatures earlier.
He saw that a group of black shadow creatures were going on a rampage because the target just took off, especially the target in a very strong protection. Then the creatures went around outside the fence of the pesantren building, trying to find a gap to get inside.
"Great, they don't just give up! I have to move quickly before we lose again" murmured Maura.
"Sir, I want to go in first after my friend earlier. Remember I said, if anyone wants to go in, ask first what they need!" maura said before leaving the place.
"Okay, Non!" said security while being respectful to him, a little joking reduces the tension.
Maura suddenly remembered something, Ardian! He almost forgot about it, he turned his head back to tell him about him to the security, but it turns out Ardian has come and engaged in a debate with the security.
"Maura!" call Ardian when he sees him coming back to the security.
'Sir, I forgot again! This is my friend, let him in." said Maura a little uncomfortable with the security.
"I know it's Den Ardian, just the real thing isn't the guy." said Security, a little hesitant.
"Original, Sir! Original.." said Ardian impatiently.
Maura nodded when the security asked her opinion, then Ardian entered and they went straight to where her father Ichan was handled by Pak Kyai and the others.
One thing they do not know if their movements are being watched by the creatures, they are looking for the right time to be able to enter the area in another way, like now.
From a distance saw some santri come with some luggage, it looks like they just came home from somewhere.
"Sir, open the door dong.." pinta from one of them.
"Can't, who are you and from where?" security asked cautiously.
"Oh my goodness, sir.. We-we're santri in this pesantren, masa' don't know anyway?!" sahut santri's friend.
"You know me, but why are you magribs still outside instead of praying together? Astaghfirullah, so I forgot to pray too!" said the security while patting his own jidat.
"We just got home, sir.. Yesterday we had a short holiday, sorry to come back here again kesorean for buying the needs first, sorry.." said one of the children.
"Yes, the hunt is in! You want to pray too late again this," said the security.
Finally the three santri entered after the gate was opened by his security, without realizing there was a shadow figure coming in with them and managed to pass through the shield, because the figure was hiding in one of them.
Meanwhile, Maura and Ardian entered a room where several people were gathered there. Maura sees Ichan crying beside her mother, while her father Ichan appears unconscious beside Kyai.
"Maura!" ustadzah Mariam called Maura and immediately approached her.
"Before entering wear this first, sorry yes.. In accordance with the rules of this pesantren must close the aurat in accordance with his sharia.." said Ustadzah Mariam dressed Maura with a large Khimar, almost similar to a mukena if Maura who wears it.
"What's wrong, Ustadzah.. I was also in a hurry to come here suddenly, sorry not to tell you in advance." said Maura politely.
"It's okay, I understand.. Come in, you have also been awaited by Mr. Kyai.." said ustadzah friendly as usual.
Then Maura and Ardian entered the room with a greeting first, suddenly the eyes of his father Ichan immediately opened and stared at them with a frightening grin.
"Finally, the awaited one came as well! Hahaha.." said his father Ichan with a thunderous laughter.
"Who are you? Why are you waiting for us to come?!" ardian asked slightly pulling Maura's hand back, in order to avoid the reach of the figure.
"I'm not talking to you, you fucking kid!" said the creature that inhabited his father Ichan.
"O yes, it turns out that you are not that strong to the point of thinking that I am an ordinary boy." said Ardian, although his words were ordinary with a casual gaze as well he was calling the commander of Arialoka beside him.
"Ck, it turns out you have guards too! Hah, just an ordinary bodyguard is nothing compared to our queen!" said the creature.
"Then tell me who your queen is then I will face her head on! Then will know who is stronger among us, because you cannot underestimate me if you have not felt the power of my sword.." said Ardian while staring intently at the creature that inhabits the creature.
The creature suddenly growled as it glared at him, whether he was afraid or was preparing to attack him. What is clear is that the creature looked at Ardian is not the same as before.
The young man now in his view was a warlord so gallant and mighty, with a large and long sword on his back, making him appear strong and authoritative.
In addition to that creature, Maura and a few people who can see other forms of Ardian, of course people who have special abilities can see it.
"Already, stop! He was already terrified to see you like this, which is my heart that is not safe." Maura whispered in Ardian's ear.
The nyeeesss!
It was like Ardian heard the whisper from Maura, who was so angry with the creature now suddenly his heart became cool and immediately his form returned to normal again. What was hot suddenly became cool, he glanced at Maura the girl slightly pulled her lips making a small smile pattern that was very sweet to him.
"Don't tease me, I'm in this serious fashion!" whisik Ardian also pretended to be upset, even though his heart was also deg-degan let alone the position of Maura was right beside him.
"Ish, who's the tease! Buruan asked the devil again," said Maura pretended not to care, but if it was serious Ardian could be as cool as that.
Meanwhile, outside the building where they were interrogating the creature, there was a commotion. Santri who was followed by one of the creatures who entered the sneak was raging and attacked anyone.
"park!"
There were several voices shouting santri when he saw one of his friends being attacked, moreover, the creature managed to influence the child he possessed to stab one of his friends with a cutter knife he took in one of his teacher's drawers.
"What's going on?!" ask Mr. Kyai worried when he heard a noise out there.
"You just wait here, while the others come with me!" mr. Kyai's orders to the manager and some teachers who are in there.
While Maura, Ardian with Ichan and his mother were still in the room, while his father was seated on a chair and tied with a rope that had been prayed for by Mr. Kyai, that creature is also bound there.
"Now there's nobody here but us, tell me what's going on? Why did the creatures want this child." asked Maura while pointing at Ichan.
"Hihi, this child has been crushed for a long time! Like planting rice, now is the time to harvest the results. This man has already enjoyed all the treasures my queen has given him, it is time he gave his rewards to the queen!
Seen Ichan and her mother were very shocked to hear that fact, Maura felt bad when she saw they had to hear the harsh reality.
"Don't lie and try to manipulate things, I know if you're trying to lie!" maura said again.
"If so, pay attention to me and see if I'm lying, Goddess... Hihi," said the creature as if it was testing Maura.
"Don't try, you know the consequences of trying to trick us." said Ardian.
"Hahaha." The creature just laughed.
Blase it!
Suddenly a black shadow came out from the body of her father Ichan, and instantly her father Ichan fell silent and fainted back. The shadow came out through the outer door to the commotion, Maura came running after him.
As he opened the door, he found a dark empty room with no light, he turned his head back to look at Ardian, and the man nodded in disbelief and handed everything to Maura.
"Go, and be careful.. Here let me handle it," said Ardian.
"Well, I'll go and please.. Watch them" said Maura.
"Yes," said Ardian as he rubbed Maura's head gently.
As if gaining full power, Maura regained confidence and eagerly caught the creatures. While Ardian tried to calm Ichan and her mother, he also tried to fence the old man's body back into possession.
.
.
Inside the dark room Maura walked in silence, the sound of wood creaking every step she went through. Maura understood that he was currently in a wooden floor room, whether it was a stage house or just an ordinary cottage.
He stared at the ceiling of the room, he saw a beam of light coming from the sidelines of the ventilation holes of the wooden windows. Maura opened the window and looked outwards.
He was surprised because he was currently at his grandmother's house, namely Grandma Dawiyah! Maura remembered the current scene, was a flower garden that had been her mother's favorite garden, and near the flower garden, there was a tea plantation owned by her family.
There was a slight difference in the house, his memory was that the house was made of concrete walls instead of wood like this, then where is this? Then he saw that there were some people under the house, Maura's current position was on the second floor or maybe he was on the stage house, he didn't know.
It was dark outside, there was only moonlight and some light from the petromax lamp, Maura seemed to be in the past.
"Hows it? Have you got any of the next victims?" one of them spoke, right under the window where Maura was peeking.
"Not yet, then we should take the boy right away! Otherwise Nyai the queen will be angry." replied his friend looking desperate.
"Who will give up his son first, herman? The love? Or Irwan?" the previous man spoke again.
Dhegs!
Maura's heart beats faster because her father's name is called, although she knows the father is not directly involved but the blood of the witch's offspring is still in his body.
"No, Irwan had refused from the beginning. Let him alone, he himself who will lose will not gain wealth and long life, stupid boy!" they were all her uncles and aunts.
"Wait a minute, we have a solution.. Hehe, Laura his wife Irwan also knows everything and he is just as stupid, what if he we just mumbled!
Just plant it in his garden, let it pick it up when he's off guard! At least we don't need to be confused about the collision anymore, and I'm sure mom and dad agree!" said Sinta's mother, her aunt Maura.
"Great idea!" the other sahut.
Maura saw clearly the three people like planting something in her mother's garden, she also saw there were two people who in her memory were her grandmother and grandfather, they were watching their three children burying something in the middle of the garden.
Maura closed the window door for a moment when she saw the movement of her grandmother who wanted to face the window above her, Maura rushed to move and look for the door, but she instead heard the conversation of her mother and father.
"I know, Bang.. I know the risk, I'd rather be a victim than our children! Without our consent I'm sure they'll take one of them, and the one I fear is Maura!" the voice of a young woman.
Vibrating Maura's heart, she was sure it was her mother's voice. He became determined to fight his father's family, because they were already cruel to his father and mother. This memory of his past bears witness to his key, which is another memory of his childhood.
At the moment Maura was facing off against a little child, a sweet daughter was fixated on staring at her. The boy looked at himself like he was confused.
"Sister, who? Why are you in my room?" ask the child confused.
"Maura.." Suddenly someone called her name.
"Yes.."
"Yes, Maaa.." The little boy answered the call.
Maura was surprised, she almost answered the call if it was not the child who answered her first, wait a minute.. The boy answered?
"Who are you talking to, son?" there was a soft voice talking to the boy.
Maura hid behind the door of the boy's closet, while the boy was talking to his mother in front of the door the moment it opened.
"With brother." replied the boy.
"Whose brother? There's no one in your room, it's time for dinner." said the boy's mother.
"Well, Ma." said the boy weighing on the mother.
Not long after, the door closed again. Maura opened the closet door slowly and was surprised to see another creature in front of her.
"Given that the past is over, now is the time to face the present!" said the creature.
He stuck out his hand to pull Maura out of the closet, but the girl immediately kicked the creature and fell backward.
He was like free-falling into a very distant abyss, so deep and dark. The sound of his screams no one could hear him but himself.
