FONDLING
PAREWANG 33

I woke up when someone pulled me.

"Wheel,"

I still manage my breath that goes up and down after seeing the events that made me cold hot.

"Drink first Fik, let's be cool,"

Anas gave me a glass of cold water.

It was so fresh that I finished two glasses of cold water.

"Abis lamented that it should be Fik's bath, not even sleep. It's like this, a dream in rep rep satan!" chirp Anas

"Yes Nas, my brother was tired,"

"Jaudah now takes a bath, that's eating, Daddy's mumpung cooks good tuh,"

"Well, Mr. Dhe can cook Nas?"

"Don't get me wrong, Daddy is versatile. Anyway super Dad diamah,"

"I'm so jealous of you Nas,"

"Don't Ngiri there will be Barra on your right Fik" said Om Gilang

"Yes Om,"

I rushed to the bathroom. There I soaked long enough that the sound of the bathroom door banging made me rush to finish my bath.

But when he came out there was no one at the door.

"Ah shit, must be the same behavior Om Barra Om Gilang again, you nosy!

I finished changing clothes and headed straight to the kitchen. I was so happy when I saw the good food on the table. It's been a long time since I've eaten so well. Maybe since Mom got sick, because I had to save money on my medical expenses.

"Thank God, thank you Mr. De for making a delicious lunch,"

"Together Fik, please eat,"

We also had lunch together. Anas was so good at eating his food, so was Mr. Dhe.

Thank God, it feels so lucky to have a friend like Anas who cares so much about me. Because I almost forgot to eat my food.

After lunch I rushed to Bik Sumi's house to ask her to help prepare for the event later tonight.

Although Bik Sumi has been working for my family for a long time, but I have never been to her house. Just this time I visited Bik Sumi's residence.

There is nothing strange in the house, just like the houses of the villagers in general. It's just that Bik Sumi's house is a little more lush because of so many big trees in front of her.

I saw Bik Sumi cleaning her yard.

"Assalamu'alaikum Bik,"

"Waalaikum hail Fik, what's the matter here?"

"You're asking for help with tonight's event, please,"

"Oh yes, later in the afternoon Bibik came, now again nanggung clean up the house first,"

"Remember Bik, if so Fikri said yes,"

"Yes Le, be careful!"

At four in the afternoon Bik Sumi came to the house. He immediately headed back to join the other mothers who were busy in the kitchen. Anas and I purposely cleaned the front yard.

Because this house will be the arrival of many people I also tidy up the plants in front of the house.

Thankfully, everything was finished at five in the afternoon.

I hurriedly bathed and prepared for the magrib prayer at the musholla.

But before leaving Bik Sumi told me to eat first. He said later I could not eat if waiting abis magrib.

Finished the magrib prayer I went straight home to roll out the carpet and mat preparation for tahlilan.

Everything is ready at the Adhan Isya. I even chose prayer at home to welcome the guests.

Sure enough the citizens came sooner than I expected. Shortly after the Adhan isya reverberated some neighbors had come.

When the event was about to start Anas and Pak Dhe had not come, maybe they were late because it was anas village and my village was quite far away.

Not only sad I also became reminded of the woman, the woman who slit the neck of the mother until almost broke up.

My blood immediately boiled as I remembered it. I'm sure he's the one who called back Mother Parewangan to hurt her until she died.

I saw a black-clothed woman in front of me. She covered her face with a veil so I couldn't see her face.

Revenge keeps me from controlling myself. I took the knife that was lying next to me. I stood up and walked over to the woman.

Now that we were facing each other, I immediately slashed at the woman's neck. And strangely he did not fight back one bit.

He just silently looked at me with his eyes as if warning me.

I don't know why it's him I stabbed but I'm the one who got hurt.

All of a sudden it was so dark I couldn't see anything.

"Fikri, wake up Fikri!!"

I heard a familiar voice in my ear, slowly opening my eyes to see who was calling me.

"Alhamdulillah you finally realized too," he said gently rubbing my head

I don't know why my neck hurts so much that I have trouble talking.

"Don't say much Fik, wait until the gift is off, yes" added Abu Musa

I nodded in agreement to Abu's words.

Anas came with his father shortly.

"Sorry Fik, I just came" said Anas feeling sorry

Ashes who knew I had trouble speaking immediately got me a piece of paper and a pen.

"Write it if you want to answer Anas's question" Abu said

Again I could only answer Abu's question with a nod of the head. Ash even helped me sit down so I could write easily.

"No papa Nas, yes" I replied, which I wrote on a piece of paper

"In part why the hell did you want to kill yourself all, did I tell you that there was a story problem to me, not in the pendam??"

"Suicide, when I do it, I'm not the one who "does not believe

Abu then told me that during the tahlil event I was like a possessed person who suddenly took a knife and slashed my own neck. Luckily, a neighbor of mine immediately ran me to the hospital until my life was still helped.

Instantly I shuddered to hear the story of Abu's version. I then told my version of the story using writing.

Abu, Mr. De Lingga, and Anas immediately sighed after reading my story.

"This fiction is someone who deliberately wants you dead" said Anas

" After hearing your story I believe that the person who wanted to kill you deliberately used the help of supernatural beings" added Mr. Dhe Lingga

"Is this the work of the Jin people?" ask Abu Musa

"Master of Ustadz" replied Mr. Dhe Lingga

My face paled upon hearing their conversation. I thought all the Parewangan business was done with Mom's death, but it wasn't over.

"Am I going to be a victim too??" I am accompanied by a sad emotion

"If according to what I read from your mother's notebook, it should not be, but I also do not know because only your mother knows her agreement with the supernatural being. But you don't worry that it is me and Mr. Ustadz who will protect you" said Mr. De Lingga to make me a little relieved

Tonight I stayed at the hospital accompanied by Mr. Dhe Lingga and Anas.

"Rest only if drowsiness, do not think of others. The problem of Tahlilan has been handled by Abu Musa as Bik Sumi, so you just focus on your health,"

Somehow Anas looked like an old man who always advised me. Thank you Nas for accompanying me.

I closed my eyes after taking the medicine. I want to heal quickly so I can find out who the guy who tried to kill me is.

"Ficery... Fici..."

I woke up when I heard someone calling me.

When I woke up I saw a beautiful woman smiling wryly looking at me.

"Sugeng Ndalu Fikri (good night Fikri)"
