Abah Kardi nodded, then said
"Bener Neng. tong sieun da teu evil (right Neng. don't be afraid not evil)"
I looked left to right, and back.
"Where is she now Bah?, what male female?, what form is she Bah?, why is she following me Bah?, why am I?, since when did she follow me?."
I asked Abah Kardi the question I wanted to ask, but I was confused as to who I was asking, I couldn't trust people so easily all this time I wasn't sure either.
But when I met Abah Kardi Somehow I felt Abah Kardi could answer all my questions, and I can believe the truth, Abah Kardi remembers me to my Grandpa, she said, from his sincere smile, and his eyes when speaking there were no lies there.
And when I set foot in this village, I felt like I had come to this village, met the people who were in this village, and Abah Kardi I felt like I knew it long before.
"Have you said, you're ready yet?, want to meet him now?, see his form talking to him?, so you can be more sure, you can be sure, rather than you hearing from Abah, it's better to talk nicely together hehehehe..."
Abah Kardi said with a laugh, Umi hit Abah's arm.
"Abah batur karek ngadenge oge geus sieuneun komo ningali, kayang urang ge ningali Maung in kebon sok rewas sieun, aya simaan, komo deui ieu ngajirim gede di hareupeun ngeleupeuk sigana Si Neng na (Abah new people are horrified let alone look, let alone look, kebayang Abah we met Tiger at the zoo also likes to be surprised there is his aura, let alone this big form in front of him immediately fainted Neng his)."
Umi then rubbed my arm and held my hand.
"That's just kidding, don't be scared, don't be afraid, you need time."
Umi said again this time to calm me, which may be seen by Umi my frightened face, I smiled wryly and then turned to Abah Kardi.
"Tell him to go, I don't want to be like this!."
Abah Kardi raised her eyebrows when she heard my words.
"Eits tong nyarios kos kitu(do not talk like talk like that)."
Said Abah Kardi while shaking her index finger in front of my face.
"I don't want my friends to think I'm weird, I want to live a normal life."
I said, I had enough of my unnatural childhood life in terror, and had always experienced things beyond reason, when I was still living in that former boarding house, I wish I could live a normal life like any other girl when we moved, but why are mystical things always around me.
"But he's come a long way just want to accompany you, he's been dancing for you all this time."
Said Abah Kardi disappointed because I refused the presence of the Belang.
"Change... My back is striped what is he doing?, why is he doing this?."
I said with a high tone but sad, the feeling I want to cry I do not want to have a striped body like this, let alone I am a woman.
"Later also lost, it happened because he was too close to you, he wanted to keep you his energy was too strong he died to mark you, so there will be no other ghoib creature that bothers you, later also if you are already in a safe place the sign will disappear on its own."
I frowned at me
"At a safe place? indeed I am in danger now?, I am in a safe place now Abah...in a village that all the residents are good and friendly, protected from what?."
"Don't get me wrong.., this village is the site of the pedestal, you're lucky the Belang who accompanied you is not an ordinary genie, many people are willing to perform rituals to the bathinan to get the companion you have now."
Abah said, speaking seriously, his eyes were staring at me sharply.
"Then why did he pick me, Abah?."
I asked, do not understand why if many people are willing to perform a ritual bath to get a companion like the striped why the striped choose me?, who do not want to be accompanied, who do not want to be accompanied, I just want to live a normal life enough to be my helper only Allah, I take refuge from all the evils of his creatures.
"Promise.., to your forefathers, he will come with his 7th and that's you."
Abah said, I can accept if he wants to keep his promise, because a promise is a debt and a debt is brought to death.
"Then why am I Abah?, there are other brothers of mine, if I'm the 7th descendant means they are also the 7th descendant."
Ask me again, I'm waiting for the right reason that can make me accept it.
"Nature who chose you to be her master, you are the 3rd child, your date of birth is odd and your birth month is also odd , tgl 27 months 3 children to three from the 7th derivative, and remember God likes odd numbers if you add the date of birth 27 is 9... so it's your destiny Liya accepted don't refuse."
I'm surprised how Abah knew about my birth?, I never said.
"Ko Abah know about my birth month?."
I asked Abah with a confused face.
"The Belang said, and he said right now, Belang on your back it wouldn't have happened if you weren't the right person, the Belang also want to convince himself if he accompanied the right person, the strip will disappear on its own when the Belang just watched you from a distance, now he was forced to be close to you, he was forced to be close to you, and give the sign because you're in the place of the rope, remember also his other friends to keep his behavior."
I nodded, then I spoke in my heart.well perhaps nature has chosen me, and I must accept it, but I will never, ever, ask for help and protection other than to Allah, I do not want to be a human being who is in alliance with Allah, my dozen years in the former house of our sacrifice were at war with the jinn who forced us to associate with Allah.
"Liya, the striped Muslim jinn, do not worry he does not want you to associate with Allah, instead he will guard you from things that are not in the interest of Allah."
I turned to Abah Kardi and raised my eyebrows.
"Say to Belang Abah, it's not polite to read people's minds."
Abah Kardi smiled.
"So you can accept the strip now?."
Ask Abah Kardi, maybe the striped also who told Abah nanyain so to me, I nodded.
"If nature has chosen me, I cannot resist Nature, be with me, lead me to remember me so that I may always be on the path of God."
Said me and immediately after I said like that I heard a growl
Tiger, right on my right, but I dare not look at the voice, Abah Kardi nodded.
