The Treaty of Invisibility
LIGHTNING IS RAINLESS

Silangit was still deep black above Mahmud's house a black cloud roll accompanied by glittering lightning as if vying impatiently to grab the one below.

From an invisible glance, behind the black clouds hundreds of troops of stealth monkeys lined up neatly forming boxes while stomping their feet.

"Huhooh! Huhhhhhhh! Huh...!" The sound of monkey troops echoed throughout the universe.

The row of stealth monkey troops was divided into 5 groups forming boxes. In front of each box stood a large tall monkey complete with battle clothes on it, curled a golden shield. His right hand held a long toya of yellow iron while his left hand held a silvery long sword.

"We wait for the day to night, wait for the attack..!!!" Excited the big tall monkey who became its leader.

"Huhooh! Huhhhhhhh! Huh...!" The screams of the troops re-echoed.

From the background of Mahmud's house lightning flashes can be seen licking under clumps of dense clouds occasionally accompanied by thunderous roars.

Soon enter the magrib time where the change of time from day to night.

Meanwhile, in the middle room of Mahmud's house, Gus Harun, Abah Dul, Ustad Baharudin and Ustad Basyari tribe sat in a circle.

While Mahmud, Kosim and Mang Ali who were previously assigned to water the water given by Gus Harun to fence around the house, now gathered in the living room to carry out a new task of remembrance.

"Dul, you check the fort that was installed earlier" Gus Harun told Abah Dul.

"Njihh, Gus." replied Abah Dul.

Abah Dul immediately changed his seat by concentrating on bowing his head with his eyes closed.

Abah Dul's inner eyes looked in amazement, over Mahmud's house surrounded by a silvery-white light shaped like a large dome encircling Mahmud's house.

After looking carefully at the fortress made by Gus Aaron and making sure there was no gap, Abah Dul slowly opened his eyes while saying, "Alhamdulillah.."

"What do you think of Dul?" Ask Gus Aaron.

"What a tough Gus. The silvery-white dome tightly protected this house, "Abah Dul replied.

Gus Harun bearded for a moment. On the left right, the sukma Ustad Baharudi and Ustad Basyari look kusyuk mengzikir past the prayer beads in his right.

"This is called the Dul trap fortress. Let them come down to attack, they won't be able to see this white dome and that's one of its specialties and by the time they come down it'll be safe....," gus Harun's sentence was stopped by a loud bang that shook the entire house.

"Vuarrrrr...!" The loud bang sounded right above Mahmud's house.

...----------------...

In plain sight, the cry "Seraaaaang...!" Echoing the whole sky. Simultaneously, grey lights shot down from behind the black clouds forming a huge spear formation that rained down just above Mahmud's house.

"Vuarrrrr...!" The loud clashing sound boomed as the huge spear formation struck the white dome until the floor felt trembling.

Three meters above Mahmud's house, it was seen glowing red light along with a loud bang. The red lights were bouncing in all directions like fireworks.

In an invisible view, the red glows were nothing but the figures of stealth monkeys that had been blown off fire after hitting the white dome over Mahmud's house.

Simultaneously from inside one of Mahmud's rooms came the sound of a small boy crying loudly. Abah Dul rushed from his seat to the room where Dede's voice cried suddenly.

He saw Dede's body convulsing, his hands clenched firmly, his eyes bulging but not a single tear dripped on his cheek despite crying and thrashing wildly.

While Arin's mother Dede stood in a corner hugging each other with Dewi, full of panic mixed with fear of seeing Dede's wild reaction.

Abah Dul saw clearly that there was a rope resembling a brownish tree root wrapped around Dede's neck, wrists and ankles.

"Allahu Akbar..!" Abah Dul shouted his palms together with the pounding of his feet.

One rootstring in Dede's neck was cut off, but Dede's cries had not subsided. Abah Dul moved his hand. A flash of white light shot out from Abah Dul's palm and struck the root string on both wrists. The brownish root rope was broken instantly by emitting black smoke as it burned.

Dede's cries began to weaken, his eyes no longer bulging and his body no longer twitched. Now that only two of Dede's legs are still moving wildly, the 3-year-old boy can only move his legs by bending and straightening them repeatedly.

Abah Dul again exerted his internal energy to hit the rope ties of the roots that stayed tied in both ankles of the little boy.

"Praakkkp..!" the sound of two great powers clashed until it caused a puff of black smoke that soared and then disappeared through the roof of the room.

After escaping from the root rope bond, Dede immediately rolled towards his mother. Arin immediately caught and carried him and rushed him out of the room followed by the Goddess.

In the living room, Mahmud, Kosim and Mang Ali did not budge still do remembrance even though in his heart felt anxious, panicked and frightened. It was evident from the expressions of his faces that turned tense.

While in the middle room, Gus Aaron's body was still motionless. In plain sight, with the Ustad Basyari and the Ustad Baharudin, Gus Harun shot into the sky through the black cloud above Mahmud's house.

Behind the black clouds, Gus Harun, Ustad Basyari and Ustad Baharudin tribe stood in the confinement of five large monkeys. The three of them close their backs to each other.

A violent wind suddenly came from the left side about to hit Gus Harun, but mentally by the hands of the Baharudin tribe. Escape from the first attack, a flash of yellow light a baton rained down on the heads of the three magicians.

The three of them simultaneously raised their arms to fend off the blows of the cane. There was no other choice but to fend it off if it was not fended off would harm one or two of them who would definitely be hit.

"Duarrrr...!" The sound of the impact of the two great powers clashed loudly and echoed in the sky.

The impact caused flashes of reddish white light to glow in all directions. Gus Harun saw an opportunity to strike back, nimbly he jumped a moment above the head of the Ustad Baharudin and Ustad Basyari tribesmen, then slam half his energy through the palm into the large gray tall monkey that was straight in front of him.

"Vuarrrrr...!" A white glint slammed into the gray monkey's head.

The large gray monkey immediately bounced away to the point of being invisible from Gus Aaron's sight. Sukma Baharudin did not stay still, after dodging the attack of the golden rod, his right leg swung towards the belly of a large golden-yellow monkey, "Bukkkkk..!" his feet hit the stomach.

The golden monkey fell down, but rushed to get back up, but a flash of white light had already reached him when he was half standing. The sound of a bang was heard again as the flash of white light hit his head from the side.

A gray plume of smoke immediately billowed and as the smoke vanished, only his body seemed to be without a head. His head was crushed by the impact of Ustad Baharudin.

Meanwhile, Ustad Basyari tribe was attacked by three large silvery monkeys. Not taking any chances, he immediately pulled out the turban cloth with just one saying, "Syehk..!" A green-striped white turban had suddenly appeared in his hand.

It was quickly placed on the turban 3 large silver monkeys armed with long swords who continued to urge him.

"Darrr...! Darrr..! Darrr..!" The three-times thumping sound scorched the three silver-colored great monkeys.

The battle behind the dense black cloud made the five leaders of the stealth monkey squad successfully destroyed by Gus Harun, Ustad Baharudin and Ustad Basyari.

The three sukma alumni of santri Madura were immediately back down. Gus Harun re-entered his body accompanied by the left right side of the tribe Ustad Baharudin and Ustad Basyari.

The air that had been blowing irregularly in its direction and sometimes large sometimes small now suddenly became calm. In the sky too slowly the light of the stars began to flicker. The dense black clouds that had been rolling since noon above Mahmud's house were no longer visible.

"Alhamdulilbornobbil alamiiin.." said Gus Harun while opening his eyes.

For a moment Gus Aaron looked at one by one the people around him, starting from Abah Dul, Arin and Dede who looked very tired. Then Gus Harun rubbed his palms on the crowns of Dede's head while blowing prayers.

Then Gus Harun moved from his seat to the living room where Mahmud, Kosim and Mang Ali recited. Gus Aaron patted the shoulders of the three one by one.

"Already, already... Thank God it's over.." Said Gus Harun, seeing the three I was still thinking with my eyes closed.

"Gus, ane same Basyari want to say goodbye. It's been too long staying at home, later it is thought we died again, hehehe.." said the tribe Baharudin approached Gus Aaron.

"injjiih. injihhh. matur nuwun sanget with the help of sampeyan-sampeyan.." Said Gus Aaron.

Gus Harun then hugged one by one his friends and said his greetings, "waalaikum salam warohmatillahi vabatokatuh.."

The two tribes immediately disappeared from Gus Aaron's sight. Seeing that scene, Mahmud, Kosim and Mang Ali were again made dumbstruck.

"Talk to who Gus is" asked Mahmud to the astonishment expressed by Kosim and Mang Ali.

"Hehehe.
