THE FORMER BLIND COLLECTION HOUSE IJO
Chapter 66

I saw a mama's feet wearing her claw sandals touching the floor.

"Alhamdulillah.. ".

Said me and Mamah together, it turns out that Mamah also looked down at my feet to investigate whether it was not on the floor, I almost drowned, Mamah hit my hand while laughing.

" Mamah iiiihh kirain me,... "

I did not keep talking Mamah also laughed and said.

"Sama, kirain Mamah is also you. hehe".

Mama said with a laugh and we walked.

"Well, what was in the kitchen?".

Ask me, to the curious Mom.

"So Mamah makes fried noodles, there is still no food, yuk temenin Mamah eat fried noodles, you want? Mama made it for you, huh?".

Mama explained, Mamah does like laper nights maybe because of breastfeeding my youngest brother, so like the laper at midnight.

"Liya is not a laper Mah, Liya is aja yah?".

I said then Mamah nodded, we sat at the dinner table, I accompanied Mamah to eat fried noodles while snacking on krupuk that is always on the dining table.

After Mamah finished her indomie then we went from the dining table and walked to our room, when walking to the room, we passed the family room.

There in the living room soup we saw a man sitting facing the unlit tivi, the man sitting his back to us, who was that man?, it was definitely not Papah, it was not Papah, because Papah is in Cirebon.

Then who?, there was no other adult man in our house, spontaneously I held Mamah's hand, because I was sure the man was not human, Mamah looked at me, we fell silent and looked at each other, our faces in shock, pale as we were both sure it wasn't Papah.

"Quiet.. shhttt read verse chair.. ".

Said Mamah moving her lips without making a sound, then with a gesture of sticking her fingers to her lips so that I was calm and not making a sound, then Mamah asked me to read the surah verse of the chair.

I also closed my eyes to catch my breath, to make myself as calm as possible, so that we could read the surah of the chair verse correctly, I opened my eyes, then sighed, and then sighed, time seemed slow to go, then me and Mamah read the surah of the chair verse calmly, surely and confidently

اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَلَا يَ

ئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ

Alloohu laa ilaaha illaa huwal hayyul qoyyuum, laa ta’khudzu sinatuw walaa Lahuu maa fissamaawaati wa maa fil ardli man dzal ladzii yasyfa’u ‘indahuu illaa bidznih,Yes’lamu maa baina aidiihim wamaa kholfahum wa laa yuhiithuuna bisyai’im min ‘ilmihii illaa bimaa syaa’a kurisyuhus samaawaati wal ardlo walaa ya’uuduhuu hifdhuumaa wahuwal ‘aliyyul ‘adhiim.

Meaning:

God, there is no God (who has the right to be worshipped) but He Who lives eternally again continuously takes care of (his being),

Not sleepy and not sleeping. To Him belongs what is in the heavens and the earth.

Can no one give shafa’at on the side of Allah without His permission? Allah knows what is before them and behind them,

And they know nothing of the knowledge of Allah except what He wills.

The seat of God covers the heavens and the earth. And Allah is not heavy in keeping them both, and Allah is Most High, Most Great.

"Vsurerrrgghhhhh".

There was a heavy groan, Mamah and I held hands, the door of Eli Tea's room opened, and Teh Eli stood before his door, Eli Tea awoke to hear us reciting the surah verse of the chair and heard the heavy moans of men.

Tea Eli saw Me and Mamah standing and holding hands, I glanced my eyes forward giving Teh Eli a signal to look at the man who was still sitting in the living room sopa back at us.

" Papahs... ".

Eli tea turned to us again, Mama and I shook their heads, gesturing, it was not Papah, the instant the man turned to us, his face was indeed Papah but his eyes were red full of Anger.

"Astaghfirullah ajim thing...".

Eli tea ran up to us, holding Mamah's hand, then we read the surah of the verse of the chair again, seen the creature that resembled Papah was getting angry.

" You'll never get out of this house, you'll be stuck here for as long as you're with me, stop the arrrggghhh".

Said the creature that resembles Papah was still sitting on the sopa, but his head was upside down his face right on his back, his red eyes full of anger staring at us sharply.

We did not stop reading the surah of the chair, regardless of it, we held hands, the creature that resembled the Papah stood up, then with the head still facing us, his eyes were still staring at us sharp, the creature turned its body, then walked slowly, his hands pointed at us.

"God help us, there is no strength or effort other than your help which is all-powerful".

Bathin me, while not stopping my lips recite the surah verse of the chair.

" Aaaarrrrgghhhh arrrggghhh ".

The moaning of the creature was so loud that it shrieked our ears, it screamed and walked as if it were coming at us, we closed our eyes and.

"Aaakkhhh. astaghfirullah hal ajim".

I said, and I got myself in my bed, soaking wet with sweat on my body, I was confused was it a dream?, or did it happen why it was so real, so, I was with Mamah and Teh Eli outside the room, and the creature. Is this just a dream?.

"Liyaaa Elliiiii.you're okay".

The sound of my mother's voice came from outside my room, I immediately got out of my bed, stood up and stepped my feet towards the door of the room, and opened it, when I opened the door, Mamah was right in front of me, and Eli's tea, which was already standing at the door of his room, then Eli Tea, half ran over to Mamah and me.

"So Eli Mah's dream..".

Eli said that immediately, when faced with Mamah, and held Mamah's hand.

" Liya was also a dream, the creature resembled Papah".

Eli tea looked at me.

"Yes!".

Say Eli tea again, then Mamah to the kitchen, to the dining table, there is still a dish used to eat indomie fried earlier.

"It wasn't a dream".

Mama said, but why are we in each room?, if it is not a dream, how can we wake up in our respective beds.

" Allah Hu akbar... Allah Hu akbar...".

There was the sound of Adhan reverberating, Mamah turned to Us.

"We take ablution and dawn prayer first".

Mama said, we nodded.
