Suddenly Chased by Satan
Waiting for Demits
Yes, the horned creature came. He showed off his horrible smile.
"Maassssss?!!" I screamed hysterically.
"Quiet, Honey. Is it me?!" said the kangmas while hugging me, protecting me. Madam Midwife covered my legs with a rag. And the Mbok ran out looking for help.
"We're all waiting for you, hahahahah." said the creature.
"Omong empty! I won't let a creature like you bother my wife!" kangmas.
"Pergies...?!! go, I said go....?!!" i screamed.
Only then did Ridho recite prayers, not long sir Sarmin came followed by the Mbok, and the creature suddenly disappeared.
"Say the Mbok if there are other creatures who dare to enter this room," said Mr. Sarmin who looked at every corner of the room.
"Yes, Mr. Haji." said kangmas.
"Aaaaaaaarghhhhhhh, saki...! aaaaaeerrghh," I grabbed Ridho's hand. The pain came back.
"Hahahahah .. hihihi," the sound of laughter echoed. The situation tonight is getting gripping with various sounds of grim laughter that seems to be mutually disdainful. The laughter made the pain come faster with a longer duration.
"What is this, Haji sir?" kangmas panic.
"Reva? are you okay?" now Mr. Karan who came with an anxious look on his face.
"What's the matter, Mr Haji?" kangmas sightseeing.
"The birth of your son is awaited by the Dedemites, Ridho. Outside, there are many creatures that surround this house. They're all looking forward to the birth of your child, because there's someone who wants that child,"
"Do whatever, sir. Please my wife, I don't want anything to happen with Reva or our son sir!" this time Ridho panicked.
"We're going to do a study in front of this room. Go with your wife, and give her some encouragement. Sure you two can get through tonight" said Mr. Sarmin.
One hour, two hours, three hours. Time seems to move for a long time. I think I want to give it up.
"Aaarrghhh, huuuwh, huuwhhh is sick," I screeched again while taking a breath and throwing it away slowly.
"I'm not strong, Mom." I said.
"No, no. You are strong, my dear. Don't tell me that kayak. I'm here, we're going through everything together, okay?" said Ridho, he shed his tears.
While outside the room there was the sound of people reading the holy verses of the Qur'an.
"Mother midwives until when can our child be born?" ask kangmas.
"I checked again" said Miss Mila.
While the Mbok already kamat aja daritadi.
Yassalam, how many more times do I have to fend off this very painful examination.
"It's open 7," said Miss Mila.
"We'll wait a minute" he continued.
Ridho scratched my forehead, "You heard right? madam Midwife said in a minute, so you need to be strong, right?"
I shook my head, "I'm tired, Mas. I'm sleepy..."
"No, no. Reva ... You should be aware, honey?" ridho's hand held my hand firmly.
And the impulse came again this time I was like sitting on a balloon filled with water and the balloon broke along with the liquid that felt warm.
"Exit.." I said to Ridho.
"out? what's coming out?"
"Water.." I said.
Madam Mila who heard my words swiftly checked again.
"Complete opening!" said it.
"Mother .. calm mother, I will guide mother.." said Ms. Mila.
"Return your breath, when I say push, you have to push as hard as you can. And when I say hold it, you have to hold it, right? mom understand?" ask Miss Mila.
I'm nodding.
"You can do it, baby," said Ridho. He kept stroking my forehead.
"Come, push the strong one?!" yell out to Mila.
And when I tried to push, the laughing voices of the creatures sounded really loud. While the sound of the chanting of the holy verses is also getting louder and louder.
You can imagine how I gripped him tonight. A lot of voices were captured by my ears, starting to grimace, the sound of people singing songs and the sound of people teaching outside.
And now I feel that there is another figure present in our midst at this moment.
"Aaaaaaaarhhhh!!" I tried to push again.
"Come, push the strong one?!"
"Aaaaaerrrghhhhh?!" I held the kangmas firmly.
"Yes like that, let's go a little bit more, his head is already visible!"
"Hahahahahhahaha." There was a shrill laughter.
"Aaaaaaaargghhhhhh, huuuwh huwww," I pushed the baby out quickly.
"Oeeeeeeeeekkk!" and the sound of the baby screeching along with me who was weak and no longer powerful.
"Alhamdulillah, congratulations Ma'am. Mother has given birth to a very handsome baby boy" said Miss Mila, she showed my son's face.
"Awaaaaaass?!" I said pointing to the back of Mila.
Ridho who saw it got up and held the creature that was trying to reach my baby. A shriveled, wrinkled creature that has deer antlers on its head. Almost touched my son.
"I won't let a creature like you touch my son" Ridho pushed the creature away.
Madam Mila immediately cleaned the baby, wrapped it in a cloth. He'll take her out. While the Mbok, covered me with a wide cloth.
"You want my son to take? want to take my sonuuu?!! stop!"" I screamed hysterically.
"Silence, calm, Mom. I'm going to take this baby out, it's not safe here" Mila said.
"Please, baby!! Mass?!!" I shouted again, I can't trust anyone right now. Except Ratmi's mom and Sarmin's.
Miss Ratmi who heard the noise outside also immediately entered.
"What's wrong? what's up?" ask Ratmi's mom.
She saw the baby in Mila's arms, "Have you been born, Mom?"
"Here, this is Reva's mother's baby." said Ms. Mila.
"Astaghfirullah, Baaaaak. What?!!" ms. Ratmi screamed hysterically.
Mr. Sarmin came and found Ridho bleeding from his mouth. He looked towards us. I saw that it felt weak.
"Please my babyuuuuu.." I said softly and tried to reach the tiny baby.
"Give me the baby" said Ratmi
"Go and don't bother my granddaughter! She's not your food, leave?!" said Mr. Sarmin.
"No way, the baby is mine. I'll make him my loyal follower. The baby is mine now, I'll take her away!" said the creature who was detained by Ridho.
"Can't you, go back to the one who's been in fellowship with you, get out of here?!" said Mr. Sarmin while touching the creature and for a moment he turned like white smoke.
My baby was crying, the ringing of the creature stopped. There are only voices of people chanting holy verses.
"Ridho, are you okay?" ask Mr. Sarmin, Ridho shook his head.
He painstakingly approached me.
"You hurt?" I wiped the blood that was on the corner of his lips.
Ridho shook his head, "I'm fine. I'll treat our son, after that I'll come back here" he said.
I nodded, I was relieved when my baby was in Ratmi's sling. So many people who we thought were good, it turns out their behavior was horrified. Not much different from the devil.
The door closed again, and Mila continued her examination.
"Alhamdulillah there are no tears, so there is no need to stitch," he said.
After cleaning everything, I also changed my clothes and others. Madam Mila came home. And when Madam left, there was one figure who saw me from the doorway.
"Cousin brother?" shirihku.
