Umm Sibyan
Chapters 10. Mistargeted

Aruna and Kala took Ustadz Soleh to the room where Bu Gayatri was. When Kala opened the door, the room was empty, making Kala and Aruna look at each other. "Mother was in the room, wasn't she?" ask Kala wonder.

Of course Aruna nodded because she still remembered clearly if she and her husband locked the mother in the room. "Yes. Mother was in the room" answered Aruna who made Ustadz Soleh nod his head several times.

"This room gave off an enormous negative aura. If you may ask, please Miss Aruna wait outside. Let me and Mas Kala take care of all this" pinta Ustadz Soleh and Aruna wanted to refuse. However, when she saw her husband nod his head, Aruna complied.

After Aruna came out, Ustadz Soleh asked Kala to close the door. Then, he immediately read some verses of the Quran to lure Bu Gayatri out. Kala who does not know anything, decided to ask where the existence of the Mother-in-law.

"Ustad? Where is my mother-in-law? Why doesn't he exist?" tanya Kala was confused and creeped out. As he remembered, the door was still locked.

"He was still in the room. It's just that there's a creature that hides him" explained Ustadz Soleh, who made Kala swallow the salivary in fear.

"I asked Mas Kala to pray as much as possible. Pronounce God's sentence to lure the figure out," pinta Ustadz Soleh who immediately got a nod of the head from Kala.

"A'uzdubillahiminasysyaithonnirojim's chat. Bismillaahirrohaanirrohiim." Ustadz Soleh began reciting the verses of Allah to lure the person who inhabited the room out.

"Come out, demon!" pekik Ustadz Soleh who then heard a soft laugh giggling.

"Get out of you, the creature that God cursed! You shouldn't bother a human who never intruded on your world!" Ustadz Soleh called out again to the figure until the sound of a closet door opening.

Kriyeee..

Ustadz Soleh walked slowly to the closet while his mouth recited prayers and his fingers were busy rolling prayer beads. After arriving in front of the closet, he opened the closet slowly and beristighfar when he found Bu Gayatri had been curled up in it.

"Astaghfirullahalazim says. Mas Kala, please help!" pekik Pak Soleh asked Kala to carry Bu Gayatri to bed. Ms. Gayatri was still unconscious with a deathly pale face.

Before Kala managed to bring Bu Gayatri to the mattress, the sound of laughter was heard again which made Kala's nape feel heavy. "Continue Mas Kala! No need to look back!" pinta Ustadz Soleh firmly.

However, when Kala intended to step back, now his legs also felt heavy and the laughter was heard again, making Kala stiffen on the spot. "Mas Kala! Prayer in the heart! Kala can do it!" Ustadz Soleh once again reminded.

After pulling and exhaling several times, Kala forced her steps to go to the bed. He did manage to arrive and make his mother-in-law lie on it. However, the next thing he saw made him cry hysterically because the figure that Kala lay down turned into an ugly old figure.

"Aargh!" she was hysterical and immediately retreated to avoid.

Ustadz Soleh recited the words of God with a letter that did not memorize, while the figure who had been incarnated as Bu Gayatri now began to wake up and look at Ustadz Soleh with a vengeful look.

"Don't interfere!" peek at the figure wrathfully.

Ustadz Soleh uttered his hamdalah while scooping his face with his palm, in contrast to Kala who was still too surprised by what he had just seen.

"Mas Kala? We have to find Bu Gayatri," asked Ustadz Soleh who made Kala nod even though his head was still not in sync.

Ustadz Soleh also opened the curtain and opened the window for air exchange. "Bu Gayatri is under the bed" told Ustadz Soleh when the window was open and he saw a hand.

Kala hesitated. She was afraid that the one currently under the bed was not her mother-in-law. Ustadz Soleh, who understood the situation, finally relented and who examined it himself.

"Quiet, Mas. God willing this is Miss Gayatri. Please pull him out" pinta Ustad Soleh walked to the door and opened it.

"All is safe, God willing." He said again that made Kala finally sure if his condition had improved. Not long after the door opened, Aruna appeared.

"Mother!" peekik Aruna panicked.

Not long after Ms. Gayatri was laid, she woke up holding her temple. Aruna who realized first, immediately took the water and put it on the mother.

"Alhamdulillah," murmured Ustadz Soleh gratified. Kala and Aruna also said hamdalah because her mother had regained consciousness.

After feeling everything was improving and seeing the condition of Bu Gayatri was also good, Ustadz Soleh also said goodbye to go home because there were still things he had to take care of. Kala also drove him to the front of the house while his head thought about the sound of a very creepy laugh that he had heard earlier.

"Ustad? Can I ask you something?" tanya Kala and Ustadz Soleh immediately stopped the move.

"Ask me, Mom."

"So where did the laughter come from? How can I not see?" said Kala who made Ustadz Soleh chuckle softly while patting Kala's shoulder slowly.

"He was on top of the closet crawling on the wall. He's the same person you see in bed. It seems, he was told someone to disturb Mas's pregnant wife, but misdirected to Gayatri, ", said Ustadz Soleh, who made Kala's eyes widen in disbelief.

However, when combining several pieces of the puzzle that occurred in recent days, everything feels continuous. Aruna who was always bullied by the figure of an ugly old woman, and his wife also heard strange noises.

"Ustad! I so remember if last night at twelve there was the sound of the side door of the house being pounded, followed by the sound of sand thrown onto the roof. What's the sign, Ustadz?"

Ustadz Soleh was instantly speechless with eyes still staring at Kala. "Strengthen the faith and diligently worship let alone pray at night. That'll be the most powerful protector, ma'am. When maghrib, close all windows and doors." Advice from Ustadz Soleh will always be remembered.
