The Angker Heritage House
Ruqiah Prayer

"What's up, Bang?" asked Karen to Bang Hadi who was holding Dedek Keysa who was still crying.

Bang Hadi approached Karen and then made his point.

"Karen, have you been in the pesantren for a long time? Do you know or have you studied the science of ruqiyah for the possessed?" ask Bang Hadi later. 

Karen was silent for a moment. Trying to digest what Bang Hadi meant. 

"Please, read a letter or verse that can remove the supernatural creature from the body of keysa," pinta Bang Hadi while holding both shoulders Karen. 

"I've seen Mr. Kiyai reciting the letters of Al-fatihah, Al-ikhlas, An-nas, Al-Falaq, and the verse of the chair when he meruqiah one of the santriwati who was possessed by the shaitan." karen replied with the word. 

"Yes already. Read it to him now!" bang Hadi's words without further ado.

"En, maap. His father can also do it with a clean heart and ask God for help." Karen looked at Bang Hadi.

"Oh, I forgot. What age did you learn to memorize those letters. Come on, just like you, this emergency."

'Astahfirullah, even a short letter Bang Hadi forgot, where has he been all this time? Too busy with the affairs of the world that he completely forgot the afterlife, ' hiss Karen in his heart.

"Hurry, Karen. Gosh darn. You don't pity what, seeing your niece cry on?" Bang Hadi pressured Karen to immediately chant the verse and the letter of antidote. Karen nodded and approached Keysa. 

"Natalogue ...." Karen sighed before she chanted the exorcist's reading. He placed his palm against Keysa's forehead. 

Next, Karen began by reading Al-Fatihah's letter. Followed by other short letters, and ended with a verse of the chair.  At first Keysa rebelled with a power that was not worth his age. Bang Hadi and Bang Imam held Keysa's hand. Meanwhile, Mbak Dewi with Mbak Nurul holding the leg Keysa. 

Finally, the youngest brother they were relying on managed to drive away the supernatural creature in the child's body from Bang Hadi. Everyone there said hamdallah. Along with their words, a strong wind like a small whirlwind crashed into whatever items were around the place. Glasses in the open closet immediately fell in the wind. Several calligraphy paintings fell down one by one. So that in the end the lump of wind that towards the window glass. Forcibly broke through until the window broke into pieces.

From the incident, then grew confidence in Karen and heart. That it turns out to be true about what was rumored on social media about this house until it was so viral. 

"Please, Mom, Dad. Do not disturb our lives. Let us live our lives in peace" said Bang Imam, who began to release his clutches from Keysa's body. 

"Astaghfirullah, Bang. Tega really accuses mother of the same father like that. That was a demon or not a pagan genie who wants to slander our parents." Sontak Karen denied Bang Imam's remarks with her belief. 

"You're talking like that because you've never met a father-like mother in the form of a curious spirit, right?" guess Bang Imam who felt his words were denounced by his sister.

"O Allah, even if the supernatural is equal to the face of the deceased and the deceased is sure to deceive us. Shaytan and jinn can freely change their form into anything. So, if it's just being our parents, it's not hard for them." Karen is not content to defend herself because she feels right. 

"Ouch. What time is it, this? Don't make a fuss. Tomorrow just continue your debate. The important thing is that Keysa has improved. I'm tired, I'm sleepy. I'm gonna go to bed." Maak Dewi raised the small body of keysa who was still sweating. Then she chose to go to the guest room after inviting her husband to come with her. 

Bang Imam and his wife just sat glued after hearing Karen's words. Trying to pervade what Karen said. 

"Yes already. Yuk, Bi!" take Karen while holding Bi Halimah's arm.

"Yes, but a minute, Non. I have to clean those scattered pieces of glass." Bi Halimah pointed towards the window that had been damaged by the impact of the supernatural wind.

One by one the cold stairs Karen climbed up. There is a feeling of trust and disbelief with the state of the house that has changed drastically. The light that illuminated the surroundings of the room of the house remained the same. However, his aura felt different. Every now and then the feather of a beautiful eighteen-year-old girl stood up.

***

It was already in the middle of the night, time for Karen to spread her cool and face the Qibla. He stepped into the bathroom that was available in his bedroom. 

Cold water greeted his palm in the first whudhu. "Bismillah." Karen begins the legal requirement to worship before the Divine. 

In the fourth ward of ablution. Again, Karen smelled jasmine. Then, he felt a creature behind him. The corner of Karen's eyes glanced slightly back. However, I saw nothing. When he returned his gaze to the front of the mirror attached beside the bathroom sink. 

Both of Karen's eyes widened in shock to see the figure of a long-haired, blood-stained black woman staring intently at him. The figure almost strangled Karen's neck from behind. Karen can't scream.  His mouth felt stiff and his steps seemed to be restrained. There was nothing he could do but close his eyes and read a few lines of dhikr. 

"Nl ... Non Karen's. Open the door, Non!" Bi Halimah knocked on the bathroom door several times. He was worried about the condition of his employer's son who had not left the bathroom earlier. 

Bi Halimah's call went unanswered by Karen. He's getting worried. The loud knocking sound invites curiosity Bang Ezy, he approached Bi Halimah who had called Karen.

"What's up, Bi?" bang Ezy asked while looking for the whereabouts of her sister who was not seen there. 

"Non Karen still seems to be in the bathroom, Den. Already aunt called but Non Karen did not come out as well" said Bi Halimah with a panicked face.

"Let's just break down the door, Bi." Bang Ezy took a perfectly prepared attitude to forcefully open the bathroom door.

Brak! The bathroom door was opened. Bi Halimah and Bang Ezy found Karen standing in the corner of the bathroom. 

"Astaghfirullah, Non," cried Bi Halimah while embracing Karen. 

"It's really not safe in this house" said Bang Ezy, carrying Karen. Then, take her to the bed. 

"Bi, ask for some white wood!" The tall, thin man tried to make Karen aware. 

"This, Den." Bi Halimah directly picked up the thing that Bang Ezy asked for. 

After the smell of Karen was lured fragrant from eucalyptus oil. Karen finally realized from her stupor. He hugged Bi Halimah tightly, erasing her fear. 

"Pull it down, Non. Aunt turn on the murotal first. So, Non can sleep," said Bi Halimah soothing. 

Bi Halimah asked permission to go upstairs to turn on the murottal footage that used to be played during the recitation. Speakers that deliberately late Mr. Zaenal installed in every corner of the room, managed to echo the chants of Divine verses to every corner of the room. After finishing, Bi Halimah returned to accompany Karenina who was still in a state of fear. 

"Better, Aden just come out. Looks like Aden is so sleepy. Let me take care of Non Karen" Bi Halimah advised Bang Ezy. He left Karen's room immediately. Then, go to the middle room and sit with Bang Imam and his wife. 

"Pity that Karen was left here alone, Bang," said Bang Ezy, breaking the silence between the couple sitting right across from her.

"Yes, how else, Bang Hadi has his own busy life. Brother too especially? Yes if you want to stay here with Karen. Yes please. My brother even seneng if you want," replied Bang Imam.
