Terror Tak Kasatmata
24: Reject Bala

“You have items, especially clothes left in the kingdom of goldfish? If so, this is also no less dangerous than when you eat or drink dishes in a foreign place that you visit, especially if the place does feel different, and you are aware, and you are aware, that's beyond reason, Mas!” opa Helios said.

Opa Helios stared intently at her granddaughter who had already instantly given her an uncertain expression. An unconvinced expression that slowly became a deep worry. The response that had immediately made the opa Helios worried and even scared.

No less restless, Kim as the father of Aqwa, cleared his throat. “Aqwa is different from normal humans in most, Pah. It is impossible for Aqwa to be used like that. They are not even as strong as Aqwa!”

Opa Helios immediately turned his serious gaze to the son as he shook his head heavily. “Fixed, Aqwa could be affected so. Especially if the clothes, hair, and nails are deliberately taken for that purpose. Including, the power of Aqwa will also not be able to help himself. It really has to be from the other side and it could be that person just us. Especially couples and parents, or even children.”

“So, after knowing this, all we have to do is break all the benefits and it seems to still be related to the loss of Asih,” continued Mr. Helios who has immediately pondered seriously.

As a mother who has given birth to Aqwa and the process is not easy. Because when pregnant with Aqwa, Ryuna's mother can see invisible creatures as well as the future beyond reason. Which most of the invisible creatures also did not hesitate to disturb him, Ryuna mother's heart was completely destroyed hearing the explanation of the father-in-law.

Ryuna's mother reflexively holds Aqwa, although the reality makes her have to kneel to balance Aqwa who remains on her knees. Aqwa looks very confused, Ryuna's mother believes, the situation now makes her son feel very burdened.

“Do we have to go to the kingdom of fish? Everything can still be straightened out, right, Pah?” said Ryuna's mother was heavy.

“Now too, we do salat talak bala. Tomorrow morning, Papah will perform talak bala according to local customary beliefs. We sacrifice a Javan goat as a substitute for Awa in the memento. Right now, Papah wants to order a goat to Pakde Sepri. Furthermore, there will be a prayer together also for us as a family including Asih and her fetus,” sergeant pak Helios.

Everything was done according to plan. Salat talak bala, they do in the Asih nursery. As long as they did, Asih remained calm, without any sign of the woman being disturbed by their prayers. However, Aqua who was too scared, deliberately woke Asih. Something that really needs a process.

“Alhamdullilah ...,” omit everything there.

Aqwa immediately fed Asih with the drinking water they had prayed for.

For the Aqwa family, the most important thing now is the safety of Asih and Aqwa following them as a family, in order to avoid the use or invisible terror. Healing and everything, they prioritized to get out of the spot very uncomfortable as it is now.

Asih is still very helpless because it just swallowed every mouthful of drinking water from Aqwa alone, Asih distress. Including to talk, Asih has not been able to do it. However, the existence of tears that alternately fell from both corners of Asih's eyes, as if it represented his feelings as well as his heart.

“Already, nothing, rest again. What matters is that there is some prayer water coming in. Rest, Huh. Don't get to setres.” As Aqwa's mother who has been very close to Asih, Ryuna's mother is the most important in togetherness. Moreover, the opa Helios and Kim have been immediately busy planning the local customary talaq balak that they will hold tomorrow morning as well.

“I najai ya,” said Aqwa after setting aside a glass of drinking water that they had prayed for.

“There are still those voices, Mas?” lirih Ryuna's mother made sure. He even sat next to Aqwa. Afraid of his son being swayed by the use of it as it seemed, that sending was indeed very powerful. The proof, despite having undergone the talak bala prayer, Aqwa claimed to still hear the voice of a very soft woman.

“If Mamah knows the culprit, if the culprit is in front of Mamah, already Mamah haj*ar him!” annoyed Ryuna's mother is really a drag. He sat until he could not calm down, other than he who became stranded. Although when he saw Asih who turned out to have not closed his eyes again, he deliberately persuaded him. Ryuna's mother said many things that would make Asih calm down.

While in the family house Aqwa was busy with the preparation of the salamat that is great cooking. The body of the goat is cooked and will be distributed in the event of a salamat or what locals call a siege, along with other blessings.

“Mah, ... start to decrease. My ears have not been as noisy as before,” said Aqwa whispering to report it to the mama.

“Truly right, Mas? Alhamdullilah ..!” said Ryuna's mother began to breathe a sigh of relief because even though there was no salvation, the results of talak bala already exist.

Because the Asih state is still weak, Asih has not been able to eat food directly other than liquid. All nutritional intake requirements for Asih, circumcised* via infusion.

“It's strong talk? Are you really angry with me? Or, are you even embarrassed?” aqwa said to Asih.

“Don't get pulled by that,” look at Ryuna's mother while stroking Aqwa's back.

“If not gini, when to start, Mah?” avalanche Aqwa still spoke softly like she had to Asih.

“I was confused ...,” said Asih who was still lying down, really weak.

“Not to be confused. Everything's been fine. Everything recovery stay.” Aqwa who was still speaking softly, reassured. “Should be tomorrow, you can move your body freely.”

“Janinku, ... real?” ask Asih because after all, she did not know the truth of her pregnancy. He looked at Aqua with both eyes still sad, full of certainty.

Aqwa who was still looking straight at the two Asih eyes, gradually nodded. “Iya ...,” omitted.

While Ryuna's mother who had become sad, only able to remain silent. Ryuna's mother realized, what Aquwa let alone Asih naturally was really heavy. But it also became a mesem when Aqua sowed colorful pieces of paper that were originally on the nightstand next to Asih, just through a glance.

“I can not see ih, Mas ..” Asih said this time whining.

“That's a small welcome,” sure Aqwa is no less upset while glancing back.

Finding that, Ryuna's mother blushed. “Start gelud again. Later if far kangen.”

In that instant, Aqwa and Asih became misbehaved.
