The old man bounced while shrieking in pain. His back hit a large tree, then fell on top of its roots. The groan of pain was heard by Nilam, but he could not see the condition of the man.
The next second Nilam's body floated back, darting quickly over the stiff body on the mattress. His body had moved weakly, then returned to calm in a deep manner.
Elsewhere, a young man was sitting on a bed of prayer mats. His right finger moved slowly in a small voice, only audible in his own ears. When he finished, he prayed with all his heart.
After returning from Nilam village, Juju routinely woke up in the middle of the night, taking wudu and circumcision prayers. The events experienced by Nilam are very close to mind. Worry strengthens his faith. Realizing that there is nowhere to ask for help but the Owner of Life itself.
Juju, a young Betawi born into a religious family. Buyut from his crank was once named Ustaz Arifin Anwar, nicknamed the leader of a million people because every lecture flock to him, filled the field or where he preached.
They are friendly and love anyone who asks for help. Juju knew from the story was hereditary in the family, so that the child of Anwar descent could keep his good name. Although not ustaz, at least remain on the straight path of religious rules. The obligation to God must be balanced with the life of seeking the world.
Juju includes trendy youth, broad outreach from all walks of life and religion, but the obligation remains to be carried out on time. His fear of God still keeps him on the safe path. Without getting carried away by the flow of night entertainment, or illegal drugs that once dragged some friends of his age who he knew.
After finishing with Juju's plea rubbed his face, then went back to lying down and continued to sleep. Still begging his friend for help.
Touch the heart of Allah, to receive Your guidance
Truly, the prayer that a man without knowledge prays is a prayer that must be answered.

“Owh ..” Nilam woke up, when rubbing his face he felt both sides of his cheeks pain.
His jaw moved in hope of easing the pain.
As usual, there was nothing in his memory. Just a very tired feeling in the body.
Blackpink's Ddu-du music was heard on Nilam's phone. Soon he sat grabbing the thing at the table.
“Hm,” say without seeing the caller. He knew it must be Juju.
“Lo no pa-pa, Ni?” The worried voice over there.
“Emang me why? It was mulu,” sewotnya sing lips.
“Ah, no. I don't feel good. Not papa ‘kan?”
“Gak pa-pa's. Didn't ask another?
"Ah, no." Juju suddenly stammered.
"Bye.” No other talk Nilam disconnected the connection, while back lying down lazily.
The phone rings again.
“Cuban, Ni,” said Juju briefly without waiting for him to talk, the young man's turn quickly pressed red close the call.
Basic Juju! rutuk Nilam looked at his smartphone screen.
After a moment of astonishment he glanced at the wall clock. It's good to be sleepy, it's only five o'clock less .... Nilam returned to lay his head. Not accustomed to dawn worship, heavy eyes will fall asleep again.
The phone rings again. The usual music is very liked feels discordant, shouted to be lifted. I had to answer without opening my eyes.
"Hem."
“Udah subuhan not yet?”
“But.” Lazy sound of Nilam.
“Cepet there. Buruan.”
“Humm ...” Still sleepy, soon Nilam drifting.
“That demon stuck in the eye so heavy wake up!” Juju deliberately shouted a little. Nilam's eyes were instantly widened. Juju's been scaring him. The girl woke up.
“Iya, already. Ni want wudu.”
“Sipp. Doain me, yes,” pinta Juju tease before turning off the phone connection.
Across the street he smiled broadly.

Tonight after returning home from work, Juju took Nilam to Mangga Dua Town Square, they had not been out for a long time. Juju changes clothes and eats at Babe's house, while Nilam prepares. After Isha they left.
There, friends have gathered in the Korean Zone area, where special KPOPERS young people create and perform on stage. There was dance, singing, also performing some Girls Band and local Boys Band.
They share a laugh after a long time without seeing each other. Three hours later Nilam and Juju went home first. Kos Nilam has a curfew rule, out only until eleven. The rest can be out in case of emergency. That's Babe's responsibility to the women in his boarding house.
On the way home Nilam felt suddenly his head throbbing violently. It was as if there was a heavy burden on the head to the nape of the neck.
“My head ...”
Juju stops the motor on the side of the sidewalk, Wedging the Patchouli into the paving sitting leaning on the potted plants.
“Sick?” Juju tidied up the girl's long hair that decomposed onto her face.
Nilam nodded, looking to open his eyes, but back closed.
Why suddenly? It was not papa, Juju's mind was restless.
When he was about to stand up for help Juju's eyes raised something on Nilam's face. The dark shadow that spread like a streak of black markers walked over. Rounded the whole face up to the girl's neck. It is very clear because the street lights are quite bright.
“Astagfirullah.” Realizing this was unusual, Juju hustled to ask for help from passing riders.
Once confused about where Nilam should be taken, he finally asked for help to be delivered to the nearest hospital. Juju's motorbike was placed in front of the store not far from the place.
Arriving in the room Nilam ER immediately laid on the bed. When examined, complaints of pain in the head and neck suddenly disappeared. The white girl flinched like she had just realized from a dream. The nurse's hand examining the heartbeat was pushed.
Sitting, Nilam was astonished to look around. Many people were in white uniforms and some other faces were also bloody bodies in the surroundings.
“Ni, lo?-“
“Ke-why am I here, Ju?” Nilam down from bed. The two women in white-and-white uniforms were astonished before asking.
“Eh, so this Mbak pretended to be sick, huh?” One of the women in white uniform who examined her earlier spoke with a suspicious look.
“Sorry, this doctor is real. Last time my friend almost fell from the motor,” bela Juju saw the unpleasant gelagat. The reaction from the speech invited the attention of a middle-aged male doctor approaching.
After asking, hearing the explanation of two women in younger white uniforms, and the defense of Juju interjected. The face of the man with the glasses reddened.
“Listen, yes! This is no place to mess around. You're wasting our time, get out!” throw him away while glaring at Nilam and Juju, then rush to approach another crash patient on the opposite bed.
Everyone thought the two young men made frank cheap.
The two of them came out without succeeding in making the person inside believe, all of it was just utterance without proof.
“What am I, anyway, Ju?” ask Nilam plain. He really didn't feel any complaints.
Juju's forehead skin folds.
This is strange ….
“Ni ..” Quickly he touched Nilam's hand. “ini is serious, I ask—” Feel wrong talk Juju looks think hard before continuing. “We marry as soon as possible. Want to be my wife?” He stuttered a little because he felt suddenly nervous.
“Who?” Nilam laughing. “Any. You proposed to me in front of a gini hospital. Sudden. I was brought here Frank for this?”
“Not, Ni. There is something in your body, remember not said Mak, if you are disturbed by the seeker of virgin. The creature is still disturbed, but you're unconscious. If we get married, it'll all be over. Understand?” Juju stared
nilam's eyes were straight while holding the girl's two hands. No matter what people look at them.
Nilam's eyes were round, still with a look of disbelief at what was happening.
Juju want to marry me so I don't become a victim??
Is it true I was weird unconsciously, huh? All my friends have said that since returning from the village .. but why do I not remember anything ….

"Damn! Fail again, fail again!!" The black-robed old man punched the wall of the house board.
After preparing for the heavier ritual than before, the girl's life was not easily recovered. Suddenly the body that was being mastered just slipped from his grasp.
"Review you are Nilam! If not you, the people around you are affected!!" the man grumbled his teeth. His eyeballs almost came out of the cavity.
He is a man who is crazy about magical powers. Feel themselves will be in power after reaching the supernatural force that is being acted on.
Hoarseness echoed filling that night. Joining the old man's faith gets his wish.
Connect ....
Don't forget like, yeah.
