Umm Sibyan
Chapters 11. Wh why?

"Bu Gayatri was possessed yesterday. He said, rich nights there's something sown on the roof."

"Yes. I also heard the story yesterday accidentally passed by and stopped by for a while."

"And to my astonishment, Ustadz Soleh said that what happened to Ms. Gayatri was wrong."

The mothers who were shopping at the vegetable stall began to talk about the trance that Bu Gayatri experienced. Sinta who happened to intend to buy vegetables, deliberately eavesdropped on the talk of the complex mothers.

Inwardly, he cursed in annoyance as his attempt failed again. Then, what was that? Wrong target? Whatdoes thatmean? Not wanting to second-guess, Sinta immediately went from the vegetable stall to go to Mbah Sumanto's house. He will ask further why the target even hit Bu Gayatri and not Aruna.

After saying goodbye to the Husband, Sinta rushed to Mbah Sumanto's residence. He willingly lies to Bowo who happens to be at home because of a work holiday after a few days out of town.

After passing a long road on the side of the road in the growth of tall trees, Sinta finally arrived in front of a wooden house in the middle of the jungle. Rough breath was heard from Sinta's lips because he felt tired of having to go back and forth to the city and then to the forest.

Sinta got out of the car and immediately entered to meet Mbah Sumanto. "Change?" call Sinta who makes Mbah Sumanto look at himself flat.

"Why? Wanna blame me?" he could not hide his tone in speaking.

Sinta also scratched his nape that was not itchy. Mbah Sumanto seems to have been able to read minds. "It's not so, Mbah. I just want to ask why I got the wrong target," replied Sinta feeling bad.

"Sit down first" said Mbah Sumanto, inviting Sinta to sit cross-legged in front of him who only borders the low table. Mbah Sumanto threw his gaze at Sinta who was now speechless.

"You ask me why I got the wrong target? Yes, because you bring the hair of his mother, not the person you are looking for," explained Mbah Sumanto who makes Sinta's eyes perfectly rounded.

"So, I took the wrong hair, Mbah?" sinta asked almost in disbelief. It is impossible if Sinta wrongly took the hair because she took it from the comb that was in Aruna's room. He could tell if it was Aruna's room of course after seeing the items located inside.

"Like so. My request will not be wrong about the target especially if it has used hair media," replied Mbah Sumanto reassured.

"So, should I do more, Mbah? My efforts are not short either. So why hasn't it worked so far?" Sinta seemed frustrated lamenting the fate of her life that never found happiness because of the presence of a child in her womb.

Mbah Sumanto clucked annoyed at the question from Sinta. "It's actually easy if you don't ask for anything weird. If you want to have children, you can find other pregnant women. Why should he? Didn't I tell you from the beginning that he has strong guard?" mbah Sumanto said, looking passionate. As a reliable shaman famous for his efficacy, he did not accept the integrity of his performance in doubt.

"I'm sorry, Mbah. I believe in the power of Mbah Sumanto. I will be patient and wait until that day comes," said Sinta in the end did not want to demand much.

Elsewhere, Aruna had just watered flowers in her backyard. The mother who usually did the activity, now can only see Aruna who replaced him while sitting on a rattan chair on the terrace.

"Wamma! Had enough. Accompany Mother here," said Bu Gayatri while waving asking Aruna to come closer.

"Good, Mom!" aruna answered a little screamed for her voice to reach where her mother was.

Indeed, the condition of Bu Gayatri's body after experiencing trance is now weakened. He daydreams a lot and always does not connect when spoken to. "Mom need something? Let me get it," asked Aruna patiently.

Bu Gayatri shook her head in response. He patted the rattan chair beside him, asking Aruna to sit quietly there. Aruna complied and grabbed the mother's fingers that afternoon the area of her nails looked blue. In his view the nails of Bu Gayatri with great precision. After that, there was a soft sigh that Aruna did to escape the tightness that squeezed her chest.

"What do you feel right now? Do we go to the doctor, Mom? Let me check her condition," bargained Aruna began to worry about Bu Gayatri's condition. In addition to his blue nails, his face is also pale with flaking lip skin.

Ms. Gayatri smiled sweetly at Aruna's offer. "no need. You do not need to see a doctor because your illness is not a medical illness. I know if the incident that yesterday Mother experienced was the work of human hands," he said with a distant look in his eyes.

"We're going to Mr. Hasan's house, Mom? He certainly can treat Mom," asked Aruna again not tirelessly persuade her mother to seek treatment in people who have experienced. Unfortunately, he replied Bu Gayatri again refused to take the treatment that Aruna offered.

"Mom just needs God to fight this. Later, if you are already unable and need to work through people who understand, I will tell you. Right now, I just want you to always be close to me." Ms. Gayatri said as she looked at Aruna gently.

That made Aruna unable to hold the clear liquid that had been trying to hold him back from melting on the cheek. Her tears just fell and she ran the river. "I'm sorry, Mom. It's all because of Aruna. If that guy wasn't after Aruna, maybe I wouldn't have been targeted."

"Where is there? It's all fate, Na. Don't blame yourself. Perhaps, this is God's way of making us more cautious. I hope, you can also learn from all the events that you have experienced in recent weeks. Do good things and bring yourself closer to God" said Bu Gayatri.

Aruna nodded quickly. After what happened to her life, Aruna began to listen to all the advice that her mother had given her. Aruna will start to take good advice from his mother so that those around him will be safe.

"Definitely, Mom. Aruna will do the things I've suggested."
