The stench was very stinging, I who was stunned speechless, could only watch all those strange occurrences, but only the sound and smell were nonexistent, slowly the stinging stench disappeared.
Papah took me to the family room, all followed Papah while still chanting the holy verse of the Quran, Papah sat me in the sopa and said.
"You take care of Liya, Papah you take the water first".
Papah came back quickly with a glass of water, Papah sat down, and recited the holy verse of the Quran into a glass, then told me to drink it.
"Drink son ".
He said as he stroked my hair, that night we slept together in the living room, until dawn we woke up, and then went to prayer for the congregational dawn, he said, and that morning as usual we did the usual routine.
It was always so strange as if nothing had ever happened, as I remember until now a dozen years we lived in that house, almost Twelve years until I turned Seventeen - Eighteen years we lived in that house.
Never once did we hold a lecture or alawasulan, to expel the subtle creatures that occupy the house, even though the terror we experienced was so real.
do not want to do a lecture, Mamah wanted to tell my Grandfather always forgot, but if we were outside the house, he thought back but we were at home, like nothing ever happened, and the terror of horror came again, and again disturbed us.
Until one day my sister cried not to stop, but did not shed tears, until for hours she cried, after which she fell asleep.
But his sleep from Eleven noon to four o'clock he hasn't woken up yet, usually he just sleeps for two hours.
Mamah thought maybe my sister was soaked because crying from morning until noon did not stop, but when Mamah tried to build her because of worry, from stopping crying until falling asleep my sister had not eaten anything.
Mamah builds my sister, but my sister does not budge, when Mamah builds my sister shake her body, her whole body moves, her body moves, and his face was not the slightest expression of movement like death.
Mamah continued to shake my sister's body at all costs, trying to build my sister, but did not wake up too, Mamah panicked and then went to call Papah who was still in the office, papah usually comes home at 5pm.
" Bah Julian Pah's.. Julian didn't wake up Pah, he slept from eleven o'clock in the afternoon until he didn't wake up...Mamah tried to wake up but did not wake up, where she had not eaten from the morning crying Pah, Papah came home Pah...Mamah was worried like.... ".
Mamah stopped saying, her tears came out crying a sigh.
" Patience Mah Calm Mah... We have to remove the delicate creature from our house, Papah will bring Pa Ustad from Subang to the house, Mamah wait well calm.at most two hours Papah until home, bring Pa Ustad and his disciple to drive the creature away".
Papah said on the phone and hung up, and Mamah went back to the room to my sister, me, and me, and my brothers could only cry because we were afraid that my sister would not wake up again.
"Have you not wept, you help by asking God for help".
It's been two hours but Papah hasn't come home yet.. Three hours passed I can't wait for Papah, I came out crying I want to wait for Papah outside my mind.
I came out of the house with a hiccup holding back the cry, I watched the road every car that passed I wished it was Papah, until it passed by a delman.
In Lembang Bandung many delman or andong or coachman train until now still there, coachman delman at that time a grandfather, he saw me crying on the side of the road, he saw me crying on the side of the road, he stopped his delman and came down to me.
" Kunaoan neng?".
He asked me in Sundanese (why neng), I did not answer instead crying became more and more.
" Kunaon crying tos wengi, kunaon on the road?where is earth?".
(Why crying? where's the night of the house?).
Said the grandfather worried, I showed my house which is not far from the road, only five hundred meters from the road because my house is indeed decked the road ahead of the highway.
"Eta earth na? Sok oruh lebet ka bumi tong on kunaon nangis street?".
(That's his house pretentious to go into the house don't be on the street why crying) said Grandpa told me to go into the house.
"Please My sister don't wake up I said".
Fortunately, Grandpa understood what I said.
"His parents are home?".
The grandfather asked.
"There's Mamah".
I said while still crying.
"Come on, let's go in".
The old man said while waiting for me to enter the house.
"Asalamu...".
The grandfather greeted me as he entered, My brothers came out of the room to see who was coming, and then came Mamah's voice from the room.
"Who's Tea?".
Said Mamah still from inside the room, then my brother approached Mamah to the room, and told Mamah.
"Don't know mah, it's Liya bring Grandpa-grandpa".
My brother said, then Mamah came out while holding my sister who was still sleeping.
"This is Ma'am her son was questioning earlier outside, I'm afraid there is anything I can help?".
The Grandfather said immediately, Mamah could not hold back her tears, then explained what happened, then the Grandfather asked for permission to treat my Brother.
"Let me see, may I take the child's seat, ma'am?".
Said the Grandfather, then Mamah opened her sling and, giving up my sister to the Grandpa, then the Grandpa gave up my little sister to Mamah again.
" A minute Mom I want to wudhu first where's the bathroom?".
He said again, Grandpa asked the bathroom for ablution, then my brother drove Grandpa to the bathroom.
"Let's get me a cake ".
My brother said as he drove Grandpa to the bathroom, after ablution then Grandpa was praying two prayers in the living room, then he asked for a glass of water.
For a long time he prayed in front of that glass of water, and then Grandpa took a spoonful of water to my sister using a spoon, spilled water on her palm and rubbed it on my sister's face and she said,.
" I won't be home until this kid comes back".
Whether Grandpa was talking to whom, after half an hour we did not know what Grandpa did to my Brother, finally my Brother woke up.
" Mommy, this is her son, get up, give her milk or food, she must be hungry".
Said the Grandpa.
" Thank You, thank you, sir...".
While crying Mamah hugged my sister, My brother immediately made a glass of milk for my Brother.
"Don't thank me Mom, I'm just the mediator of all help from God, I go home Mom, my heart is Mom".
Grandpa said goodbye.
"Pa wait this there just to buy coffee".
Said Mamah offering some money to the Grandfather.
" Don't Mom, you guys need it more I sincerely ko, klo I paid I don't get the reward dong Bu".
Grandpa said with a smile and said goodbye, until the next day Papah had not come home... Where Papah....
Two days Papah did not come home. said he waited two hours Papah nyampe house bring Ustad, but already two days Papah has not come home too.
"Don't take Ustad Pah... I'm kangeun Papah.. I need Papah. Nobody imamin us pray Pah. nobody taught us to salaried".
My mind at that time.., every day I silently stared at the window, waiting for Papah to come home.
All I remember was that there were four big houses near our house, the first one was probably close by about five hundred meters, but the house was big, in the castle, the gate was big, the gate was big, fencing the terrace is like giving us distance not to approach.
We were no neighbors, we lived each other, never knew and did not want to know the life of our neighbors, a few days later, Mamah called my Grandfather who was in Bogor, who was, telling me my Papah hasn't been home for days.
Grandfather told my Uncle Mamah's sister to visit us, and help clear up our problems.
Go my Uncle from bogor riding a motorcycle to our house in Bandung, a short story until my Uncle in Bandung, when he arrived at home, Uncle got off the bike to open the fence put the motor into the yard.
The house looks so quiet, there is no sound of children even though it is Mamah Her brother has four children, even still has my sister's toddler, should be crowded at least there is a sound of children, there is a sound of children, at that time, the house was said to be very quiet.
Uncle said his greetings many times, pressed the doorbell knocking on the door, knocked on the garage door, but there was no reply from inside the house, Uncle then peeked out of the living room window, want to look inside to see if there's really no one.
Inside the window there is a curtain, but if we look from the outside by approaching the window, pasting the face to the window can be seen the situation inside the house.
When Uncle began to investigate by bringing his face closer to the window, suddenly Uncle saw there was a huge body once, he saw her from the stomach up to the head, uncle saw the creature's eyes red-lighted dine sharply to his.
My uncle's big height he's a volleyball player, but he saw the creature until he raised his head said Uncle the creature was high above the door and huge, so big, jet black had horns on his head, his eyes were red.
Instantly Uncle was stunned by shock, and when he realized that there was in his mind running as fast as his house died, fortunately he still remembered his motorbike, which he had in mind, he still thinks with his bike running will be faster.
Unknowingly he had arrived at the square with his motorcycle, then Uncle stopped first at the roadside rice stall.
Uncle just realized that he was already nyampe in Padalarang, he ordered water and then drank it, and continued the journey back to Bogor to my Grandpa's house.
Arriving at Grandpa's house, Uncle conveyed the incident he experienced, then Grandpa invited him to return to Bandung to my Mamah's house with Grandpa, but Uncle did not want to, and then he invited him to return to Bandung to my Mamah's house with Grandpa, because it's still in shock and he said.
"I will never go back to that house again, even if the Father insists".
He said to my Grandpa, go Grandpa with my sister Mamah who is female, at that time my Aunt was not married, Grandpa took a bus from Bogor to Bandung with my Aunt.
Long story short until my Grandpa and Aunt at Mamah's house, Grandpa entered the gate, entered the courtyard in prayer, and then said his greetings.
Pressing the doorbell I was in the house at the time was playing with my sister in the living room, I was glad to hope it was Papah, I called my brother to tell Papah to come home.
"Teh open that door Papah came home".
I said to my Brother, My brother didn't say anything he went straight to the living room door to see who was coming.
Mamah came out of her room following my sister to the living room, when the door opened my Grandpa and Tante, Mamah langung kissed my Grandpa's hand, and hugged my Aunt in tears.
They went into the house, Grandpa did not tell me anything about my Uncle, Grandpa planned to report a missing person to the Police station in the hope that Papah would find his whereabouts, he said, and suggested that we move first to Bogor before Papah was found.
"Now it's night tomorrow morning we go to the police station to report a missing person so that your husband can be found as soon as possible, how many days has your husband not come home?".
Said Grandpa.
"It's been five days sir".
Said Mamah.
"Last time he went to the office, right? We can't tell the police anything beyond reason, they'll just ask when your husband was last seen and where he's going".
My grandfather explained.
"But my husband said he said he wanted to go to Subang first to meet Ustad, we have to tell him".
Said my Mom.
"Yes, of course, we can tell that to the police, so the police can investigate to Ustad's place, you know the address of the Ustad in Subang exactly where it is?".
Grandpa asked.
"Tau sir".
Said Mamah.
"For the time being you and the children should go to Bogor first before your husband is found".
Grandfather said as he glanced at every room of the house.
"Can't sir, me and the kids will stay here waiting for Papah's son's son to come home, I'm sure Papah's son's son will be home soon, what if he comes home with no one? and also Eli how did his brother Herti go to school?".
For this reason, Grandpa was forced to agree.
"Do you have savings for your living expenses?".
Grandpa Mamah said smilingly and said.
"No sir need not worry".
That's Mamah, never told her about economic problems to her family.
That night Mamah cooked for dinner at my Aunt's aid, telling stories, accidentally telling all that happened to my Uncle to Mamah, Mom was shocked to learn that my uncle had come to the house.
"What is really Ana? Dani was here yesterday? There's no way he's never been here".
My mother said sure.
"But Ka, Dani can't lie Ka".
My aunt said no less convincing, Mamah was stunned but Mamah already knew what happened this all must have been the creature.
Mama was silent and then continued cooking, after our dinner to the family room watching tivi, Grandpa went to my room to rest, Grandpa always slept in my room when coming home.
When we were watching tivi sambit telling memories with Papah, my aunt who was sitting at the soup holding my sister felt dizzy her head.
" This please Julian, my head is dizzy".
My aunt said, Mamah immediately took my sister from my Aunt's lap.
"Why are you Ana? Take medicine yes, just take headache medicine".
My mother said as she went to take the medicine.
"Ka dark ka... Aahhhkkk kaa please".
My aunt said hysterically and unconscious, Mamah was surprised to see the state of my Aunt, and immediately gave my sister to my Brother Eli Teh, while trying to build my Aunt.
"Ana why Ana, huh,? wake up Istighfar Ana".
My mother said that while shaking my aunt's body, I immediately ran to my room to wake Grandpa who was sleeping in my room.
I heard my aunt crying like she was awake, but now she's crying and, like, her voice isn't my Aunt's..
" Cake Grandpa Wakes up Cake... ".
I tried to build my Grandpa, and my Grandpa woke up surprised.
"What's the matter Liya?".
My grandfather said with worry.
"That's Aunt Ana's cake..... ".
I did not continue my words, My grandfather immediately went up and ran to the living room to my Aunt, and everything was there.
My mother and, my brothers are in a state of confusion to see the behavior of aunt Ana who sometimes cried and laughed giggling crying again....
