The Three Chosen
53. Crossing Time
Meanwhile in Jakarta.
When Iyaz was injured in a Bokor cake attack, Faiq's heart beat faster. Faiq knew that something bad had happened. His mind immediately floated on his two children who were currently in the care of Ustadz Hamzah.
Faiq recalled that if Ustadz Hamzah had contacted him and said he would invite Iyaz and Izar to visit the next village which is being attacked by caterpillar pests today. Ustadz Hamzah asked Faiq to participate if Faiq had time to spare. Because Faiq hit the work he had to finish, Faiq promised to follow when the work was finished. And now Faiq feels regret for overriding the request of ustadz Hamzah.
Suddenly Faiq's phone rang . When Faiq grabbed his phone he saw the name My lovely on his phone screen. Faiq smiled because he knew Shera was the one who contacted him.
“ Assalamualaikum, why Dear..,” greet Faiq.
“ Wa alaikumsalam.., Father...,” says Shera with a choked voice.
Hearing the voice of the woman he loved so much was different than usual making Faiq frown. Faiq also straightened his body so that he could focus more on hearing the voice of his beautiful wife.
“ Dear, what is it..?” ask Faiq carefully.
“ Me, I Keinget Kids Well. I had a nightmare. I...,” Shera's speech was interrupted because he could not convey the dream he had during his nap.
Faiq was surprised to hear Shera's reply. His confidence grew stronger when he heard his wife's uneasiness.
“ Mother just calm yes. Now I'm going there. Because straight from the office so Dad can't pick up Mother. Gapapa..?” ask Faiq.
“ Yes, Dad first. Later I will follow...,” said Shera fast.
“ Ask for anterin please with Heru aja Bun..,” said Faiq while tidying up his workbench.
“ Don't Well, I use a taxi online only. Ga tasty ngerepotin Heru continues..,” said Shera.
“ Ok. We'll meet there, be careful Bun. I love You...,” said Faiq.
“ I love You too Father..,” Shera said at the end of her sentence.
Faiq rushed to grab the backpack he always carried from his desk and out of his study. Dayang who floated following Faiq did not say anything because he knew what Faiq was going to do.
“ Where to Lo Iq...?” asked Hendro who had just come out of the toilet.
“ I have a business for a moment. Please Lo continue to edit the news that was yes Hen. It's on the desk I....,” said Faiq as it passed.
“ Ok, be careful Iq. Don't speed..!” said Hendro loudly.
Faiq simply waved his hand as he dashed slightly towards the parking lot.
“ We will not use the motor or car Iq. Later...” said Dayang as they arrived at the parking lot.
“ You are right. So we have to do this now...,” said Faiq while observing his surroundings.
After making sure no one else noticed their movements, Faiq closed his eyes. Dayang smiled then held onto both shoulders of Faiq from behind. In an instant Faiq's body vanished and
crossing directly to the place he wanted to go was a boarding school where his two children studied.
“ We have arrived...,” whispered Dayang.
Faiq opened his eyes and was amazed to see that he was already in front of the boarding school. But Faiq's gaze was fixed on the ghost of Amsir who was also standing looking at him at the boarding gate.
“ Amsir...,” greeted Faiq with a choked voice because it was not good with Amsir who witnessed himself with Dayang.
Faiq remembered that he had refused when Amsir insisted on accompanying him first. But now he actually came with his supernatural companion, Dayang. Faiq drew closer to Amsir who was seen staring at the other direction with a disappointed look.
“ Amsir, sorry..,” says Faiq.
“ Don't discuss it now Iq. There is more important than our business. Iyaz was injured due to a misguided attack by shamans who controlled the village next door. I can't help because I can't go far..” said ghost Amsir.
“ Yes Allah..,” said Faiq while rubbing his face with a huff.
“ Well, thanks Sir...,” said Faiq and then back near Dayang.
Then Dayang brought Faiq back across time and arrived at the location where Iyaz's body lay weak. Faiq immediately approached his two children. He swiftly grabbed the body of Iyaz lying on the carpet
musholla with her eyes closed in her arms. While the Revelation beside Iyaz and Izar also seemed surprised because they did not know the sudden arrival of Faiq.
“ Father...,” call Izar enthusiast.
“ Yes Nak. Dad came for you...,” said Faiq with a smile.
“ Alhamdulillah.., but Iyaz got hit by the black-clothed Grandpa Well..,” Izar reported while pointing towards the outside of the musholla.
“ Father knows, now please help Daddy do dhikr yes..,” sahut Faiq fast who is subscribed to Izar.
Faiq looked at the face of Iyaz who was closed and then kissed his forehead fondly. Afterwards Faiq pressed his palm against the chest of Iyaz while reading the verse of the Qur’an. Faiq's reading rattled anyone who heard it including Iyaz, Izar and Revelation. Even the Revelation was so astonished to hear the chanting of the holy verse of the Qur’an read by Faiq.
A moment later, both eyes opened. Iyaz smiled when he saw his father was there with him.
“ Father...,” call Iyaz shimmies.
“ Yes Nak. Father here...,” said Faiq smiled as he rubbed myaz cheek gently.
Suddenly Iyaz felt nausea and tightness in his chest. There was something urgent to come out and Iyaz tried to get up. Faiq helped Iyaz and immediately reversed the position of his body until he was face down. Then Faiq rubbed Iyaz's back a few times while reciting.
“ Eject now..!” faiq said as he patted the back of Iyaz with a loud pat.
Iyaz also vomited blackish and foul-smelling blood. The veins on the face of Iyaz also appear to pop out as if he felt a lot of pain when he had to vomit black blood.
Izar who was beside Faiq seemed to shed tears because he could not see the suffering of his twin brother. Revelation embraces Izar's shoulders to strengthen him.
“ God willing, all will be well. Yes it is strong, he can definitely pass it..,” whispered Revelation.
“ Yes Brother. Yes it is great, he can certainly chew everything..,” said Izar while rubbing his wet eyes.
After several times spewing out that foul-smelling black blood, Iyaz seemed to be getting weaker. Then Faiq poured out the mineral water he always brought towards Iyaz and helped drink it. Iyaz sipped the water quickly as he felt the heat striking his chest fade as the water passed through his throat.
After finishing the water that his father gave him, Iyaz smiled. Then Iyaz immersed himself in the arms of his father. Faiq smiled and welcomed Iyaz's embrace while kissing her head repeatedly.
“ Thank God you are happy son. Sorry Dad was late...,” said Faiq lirih.
“ Thank God, gapapa Yah..,” sahut Iyaz while smiling in his father's arms. Suddenly Iyaz remembered his twin. He searched with his eyes and saw Izar staring at him with a drenched face
tears.
“ Izar here..,” call Iyaz while waving his hand to make Faiq and Wahyu smile.
Izar immediately approached and hugged his father and twin tightly.
“ Yes don't be rich anymore. I'm afraid...,” said Izar with a trembling voice.
“ Yes sorry. Izar nangis yes..,” ledek Iyaz.
“ Who is crying, this is water wudhu..,” Shy Izar shameless.
“ Oh that. I'm new to know if the ablution water just free eyes with the same nose..,” Iyaz goda.
“ What the heck You, ga funny tau..,” sahut Izar annoyed while hiding his face into the arms of his father.
Iyaz, Faiq and Revelation laughed at the wrong behavior of Izar because he was caught crying. While Izar smiled silently because he was happy to see that Iyaz managed to survive death.
