SURREPTITIOUS
The Part 23

Alinda got up from her sleep. His hair was as messy as a lion. The girl scratched her head. He saw a lot of students in the room. Some are unconscious, some are fed, some look weak.

Zahra was there too. He looked limp while justifying his hijab.

"Zahra," call Alinda.

Zahra. "Are you awake?"

Alinda approached Zahra. "You possessed?"

Zahra pressed her shoulders. "PMR said, I just fainted."

"What happened to me? Am I possessed?" ask Alinda.

Zahra did not answer immediately. He seemed worried and hesitant to say it.

"Why?" ask Alinda.

"It's okay. The important thing is that you're okay now" Zahra comforted.

"Greeta where is it?" alinda asked as she spread her eyes around.

"I don't know" replied Zahra.

Amadhea and Arnold entered the room. Seeing the arrival of the two classmates, Alinda waved her hand.

Amadhea returned Alinda's hand. He and Arnold approach Alinda and Zahra.

Arnold gave Alinda a bottle of mineral water. The girl accepted it and then gulped it down.

"Thank God you're all right" said Amadhea, wiping Alinda's hair and cupping Zahra's face.

"Greeta where is it?" ask Zahra.

Arnold replied, "Greeta is in the other room next to this room. Because it does not fit, the teacher provides 3 rooms downstairs for all students who experience possession."

Alinda looked surprised. "What is possessed that much?"

"In our class only Amadhea is not possessed. In another class even all the students were possessed" Arnold replied.

"I was worried about you, Dhea. You daydream a lot, but thank God you're not possessed" Alinda said.

Amadhea nodded.

"What time is it?" ask Zahra.

"It was 5pm" Arnold replied.

"What?!" Alinda and Zahra looked surprised.

Meanwhile, Greeta who was in the next room looked dreamy. He looked around, but his vision was blurry. He rubbed his eyes.

Amadhea and Arnold entered the room. They're approaching Greeta.

"Drink." Amadhea gave Greeta a bottle of drinking water.

Greeta. He took it a little.

"Is there something on my face?" ask Greeta.

Arnold shakes. "There's nothing on your face."

"I felt like there was a spider web covering my face and my eyes" Greeta said.

Amadhea swallows saliva. He saw a large spider attached to Greeta's head. The spider secretes fluid from its body that forms a spider web covering Greeta's face.

Tell me not, huh? Amadhea wanted to help Greeta, but she was also afraid.

Greeta scratched her hair. As Amadhea saw, Greeta scratched the body of the spider that was stuck to her head.

"My scalp is numb. I didn't feel my hand" Greeta said.

That's because you're scratching the spider, not the skin of your head, the inner Amadhea.

Greeta held Amadhea's hand. "I'm going to the bathroom, please take me."

Arnold nodded. "Then I go to Alinda and Zahra's room, yes. I trust Greeta to you."

Amadhea nodded. He took Greeta out to the bathroom.

"Zahra and Alinda are okay?" ask Greeta.

"Yes, they're awake." Amadhea felt the spider move into her head.

Shit, why did that disgusting creature even move into my head! screams of Amadhea in the heart.

Arriving in the bathroom, Greeta went into the toilet. There was the sound of water flowing from the faucet.

Amadhea kicked the spider from its head until it was thrown to the floor. Amadhea was pounding with joy at the sight of her spiders even on her back and twitching to turn around.

Before the spider managed to turn its body around, Amadhea kicked it with all her might until it was thrown out of the bathroom. The creature also crept away.

Amadhea was still convulsing. "Oh, I hate creatures that have a lot of legs."

Greeta out of the toilet. Amadhea. "Wash your face in the sink."

Greeta obeyed the words of Amadhea. He washes his face in the sink. Amadhea heaved a sigh of relief seeing the spider web on Greeta's face and head being dissolved by the water.

Amadhea is impulsive, can it be, huh?

Greeta looked at Amadhea. Being stared at like that, Amadhea got nervous.

"I can see clearly again after washing my face!" Greeta looked pleased.

Amadhea breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God."

Greeta returned Amadhea's phone. "The food was good. I'll order a lot after I get home."

Amadhea chuckled softly. He was thinking about food. If only he could see the spider.

The clock shows at 7 p.m. Mr. Ahmad picked up Zahra. He also brought Amadhea home.

"Makanya, Zahra, you must be diligent in prayer and diligent in worship. Allah will protect you from the interference of jinn and demons" said Mr. Ahmad.

"I've been praying, it feels like my head is heavy, Pa," Zahra said.

"Don't mostly daydream" said Mr. Ahmad.

Amadhea smiled softly at the attention of Mr. Ahmad towards Zahra. He feels envious. His father used to take great care of him, buy everything he wanted, and spoil him. That's because Amadhea was an only child.

Amadhea remembered something. He thought, That DNA, I really need the results of his DNA. Am I really my parents' child?

Arriving at home, Amadhea thanked Ahmad for bringing him home.

Amadhea entered her house. He looked around. Everything seems normal. Upon entering her room, Amadhea took out a cell phone from her pocket. There was a small thing that came out and fell.

The girl nodded. He took that thing. It turns out garlic.

"Why is this stuff in my jacket pocket?" Amadhea seemed to think.

He remembered everything that happened today and for the past 2 days. Some ghosts stay away from her. Chances are it's because of the garlic, not because of the whole black-eyed ghost. The ghost no longer shows itself.

"yes too. Ghosts are afraid of garlic. That is why for 2 days I slept well, because this jacket is near me" muttered Amadhea.

The girl's gaze was fixed on the slightly open door. He saw the figure of the white-eyed little boy peeking.

With overflowing emotions, Amadhea ran towards the little boy while carrying garlic. The boy ran away.

That same day, Amadhea went to a nearby stall. He decided to buy garlic. Not bearish. He bought some garlic hangings.

Arriving at home, Amadhea hung all the garlic in certain places such as corner rooms, windows, near the door, and near the mirror. The most hung in his room.

"Where garlic is expensive again. Fortunately, they are afraid of garlic, not chilies. Chili prices are on the rise," muttered Amadhea.

For a moment Amadhea remembered something. "Is it possible he put garlic in my jacket pocket?"
