SURREPTITIOUS
Part 42's

"What are you doing in my house?!"

Amadhea, Xaga, and Greeta gasped in shock. They saw the old grandmother sitting in a wheelchair by the door.

"Carnate?" amadhea.

The look of the old woman who turned out to be Carnilah was fixed on Amadhea. He narrowed his eyes. "Do I know you?"

Amadhea frowned. He muttered, "How could he possibly be alive? Then the black-eyed ghost that bothers me who...."

"What?" Because it looks offended.

Amadhea shook her head. "I mean... Granny Carnilah, it's me. I. the daughter of Sudarman and Ayuni, a married couple who bought your house."

The old woman looked surprised. "What-what?!"

Meanwhile, Alinda, Zahra, and Elan are looking for a way out.

Alinda looked at the window of the room. He opened the curtains and looked out the window.

"Look! There's a window here!" exclaim Alinda.

Elan and Zahra approached Alinda. They look out the window. Elan tried to open it, but it was hard. He took a chair and slammed it against the window until it broke.

"Is this not a problem?" ask Alinda.

"The house is empty, there is no owner. Do you want to be eaten by the ghost of this room?" ask Elan. He put away the glass shards so as not to hurt them while going out through there.

Zahra and Alinda nodded.

"How do we get down?" ask Zahra.

"Just a minute" said Elan. He slightly bent down and removed the broken glass on the ground in front of the window with a board lying there.

Alinda said, "But, Elan. If there is no occupant, why is the offerings there? Why is the incense burning?"

Hearing Alinda's question, Elan momentarily stopped her activity. It seems that Zahra is waiting for Elan's answer. However, the man again continued to get rid of the broken glass without giving an answer.

"It's over." Elan went out first and helped Alinda down through the window. "Be careful."

Alinda got down.

"Come, Zahra." Elan and Alinda help Zahra. As Zahra was about to descend, suddenly her body was pulled back inside and thrown into the closet. The girl was unconscious too.

"Zahrah!" Alinda will come in. Elan helped her up the window, but strangely the window had glass. Though it had been smashed slammed into a chair by Elan.

"How is this?! Zahra's still inside!" alinda panicked. It banged on glass.

Elan also looked worried.

Alinda beat Elan's chest while crying. "It's because of you! Why are you so careless!"

Elan calms Alinda. "We tell Zayn and Arnold. They must still be ahead."

Alinda still looks panicked. They immediately turned around and reached the front yard.

Seeing Alinda and Elan suddenly emerge from the backyard, Arnold and Zayn are confused.

"Why did you guys come out of there? Which other one?" ask Arnold.

"We were separated while we were inside. Me, Zahra, and Elan were trapped in one of the rooms. We found a big window and smashed the glass. We made it out, but Zahra is still stuck there" Alinda said.

"What?!" Zayn and Arnold looked surprised. They soon enter the house followed by Alinda and Elan.

They look around. There was no one in the living room.

"Amadhea, Xaga, and Greeta where else? Why did they disappear?" ask Arnold.

"That room." Alinda pointed at one of the doors.

Zayn banged on the door. "Zahra's? Zahra?"

Arnold tried to break down the door, but couldn't. Zayn also broke down with Arnold.

Alinda looks worried. "Zahra, sorry."

Elan took the chair and hit the door with the chair. Instead of opening, even his chair was shattered.

Zayn and Arnold snorted in annoyance. Their breaths are panting.

Zayn, Arnold, and Elan broke down at the same time, the door finally opened.

"Zahrah!" Alinda went in and looked for Zahra.

"Zahra?" zayn muttered as he saw Zahra standing in the corner of the room while looking down deeply.

"Zahra?" call Elan.

Zahra looked up at the four friends standing at the door. He smiled widely.

"Is he possessed?" ask Arnold.

"No way." Zayn. "Zahrah! Istigfar, Zahra!"

"Can you help me?" Zayn asked Alinda.

Alinda hesitated. "I'll try to help."

"Hold Zahra when she's calm" Zayn said.

Alinda nodded.

Suddenly a chair floated up and was thrown towards the four of them.

"Revelation!" Arnold protected Alinda and they immediately ducked.

Alinda approached Zahra. "Zahrah! Conscious, Zahra!"

However, just a few steps away, Alinda bounced. Luckily Arnold spruced up and caught Alinda's body.

"Zahra, you are being deceived by the jinn, sober up! Speak Istighfar and the words of Allah!" Zayn.

Zahra grinned.

Zayn raised his hand and then prayed. Suddenly Zahra shouted in heat.

"Stop! Stop that!" shout Zahra.

The items in the room floated up and attacked the four of them.

"Zay! Watch out!" his three friends dodge and pull Zayn away from getting hit by the objects.

A plank was thrown into Zayn's stomach, but it did not shake his prayers. Blood flowed from the corner of his lips on the do'a he was proposing.

"Oh, Zayn!" Alinda was surprised to see blood flowing from the corner of Zayn's lips.

Zahra fell to the floor, and so did Zayn.

"Zay!" Elan immediately catches Zayn's body.

Arnold and Alinda immediately ran over to Zahra.

"Zahra." Alinda cried worriedly while shaking Zahra's body.

Elan helps Zayn get up. They're approaching Zahra.

"Zahra, are you okay?" ask Zayn.

Zahra nodded. Zayn breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you bleeding?" ask Zahra slowly.

Zayn rubbed blood on the corner of his lips. "It's nothing."

Alinda stood up and sprinkled the salt she brought from the house to the table. Suddenly the scene burned.

"Come on, we're out" said Alinda.

They also came out of the room. Elan walked first, followed by Alinda who carried Zahra. Then the last Arnold held Zayn.

"What were you sowing?" ask Elan.

"That's salt and sand that has been given a do'a. I got it from Mama after coming home from China" Alinda replied.

"Oh."

They're out of that house.

"Thank you, Zayn, thank you guys" Zahra said.

Elan seemed to feel guilty. "I'm sorry, Zahra, Zayn. It's all because of my carelessness."

"Why are you apologizing? You're not wrong" Zahra said.

"Yes, you're not wrong. Because in a state of panic, everyone must be doing the same thing while in your position" Zayn said.

Alinda helped justify the Zahra hijab. Zahra kept Alinda quiet.

"I didn't think until this possession. I was not daydreaming" murmured Zahra.

"I didn't expect either. I'm so worried to see you keep laughing in a male-like voice" Alinda said.

"Is it because I'm menstruating? So, they bother me more easily?" mummified Zahra.

Alinda seemed to think. "I think so, because you're coming to the moon, you can't pray, right?"

Zahra nodded.
