"And, it seems that's what his name is ... Umm Sibyan."
Danu turned to me, the two of us met. There is a sense of fear as well as curiosity over the creature in front of us. I met a creature like this for the first time. If it is true that he is Umm Sibyan as I heard in this village, then his form is indeed terrible, regardless of his hobbies that like to disturb young children or pregnant women. He's not a wewe like I've met before. Very different, although the concept is almost the same. The difference between wewe or some people who call it wewe gombel is the incarnation of a woman whose spirit is wandering, usually caused by suicide. There used to be a myth that said so, the spirit of the woman who committed suicide hung herself in a tree, in the hillside gombel area. Before her suicide she caught her husband sleeping with another woman, because he could not have children.
While Umm Sibyan is a female genie who likes to appear during the atmosphere of magrib, they will disturb young children and pregnant women. One of the reasons why you need to sacrifice a newborn baby is the concern that this genie is bothering the baby. Although this understanding is not based on the Quran and hadith. Indeed, when magrib, in some places prohibit their citizens from wandering. And I did not expect that in this village is really thick with the custom. Even that genie is actually appearing in front of me right now.
Danu was more attached to me, even though his attitude was ready for danger and the possibility that would happen, but I believe deep down there is a great fear of facing the creature. "What are our plans, Tha?" whispered Danu with the question I was thinking about the answer to since.
"Keep praying, Dan. I don't know how to either. Maybe we get him out of this house." I whispered too. The female genie was still creeping on the wall, constantly watching our movements. As if watching and preparing if one of us will attack. Because he has done nothing since. Although actually just looking at creeping up and down here and there has made a mental burden for us. Frequent encounters with subtle creatures, does not mean I am immune to the fear they cause. Because the first thing I couldn't get rid of in the past was fear. At a time like this I wish there was Brother Arden, so we'll easily throw him out. I started to think softly. Danu has also begun to mutter the holy verses of the Quran.
The female genie tilted her head, her lips widened displaying rare but very pointed teeth. Her hair is curly though not as long as kuntilanak, but still distinctive, disheveled. His skin, even his entire body was slightly dark. I don't even know if it's because it's dark, or it's burning. Because some parts of his body look blistered and peeling. Disgusting.
The screams from inside the house sounded very clear. Me and Danu looked at each other, our foreheads shrinking as if they had the same question. "Who's that scream?!" tanyakanya. That question is the same as what I was about to ask. I shook my head slowly. We started to get confused, as there was a huge threat that was before us now. But we were also curious about the voice from inside earlier. One thing I can confirm, there's no way it's Grandma's voice. Whose voice was that. Now I'm worried about Grandma. I was afraid something would happen to him.
"And, you choose, would be here watching the female genie, or inward. Check Nek Siti. I'm afraid something's happening."
"Hm, there's no good choice, Tha. But I prefer here, this demon is still there. I don't think he's gonna fuck around. While inside .. I don't know what. Seriously, I'm more afraid of the same ones inside. Please do," asked Danu, for reasonable reasons.
I took a deep breath, then nodded and agreed to Danu's choice. We started walking around to get closer to the hallway corridor. As we moved, Umm Sibyan also moved, as if she also avoided being close to us. "Let me find a way to nge him, Tha. You check out Nek Siti!"
I nodded, "You be careful, Dan!" As soon as I reached the corridor of the connecting door of the living room with the living room, I immediately went inside.
The atmosphere of the middle room was silent, even I felt a sensation of heat and cold mixed into one. The mirror near the sideboard, condensed, but I'm sweating now. It feels so stuffy in this house.
The middle room was over. There are no signs of other people or visible beings here. My destination was Nek Siti's room which was close to the kitchen. The more I accelerated, the anxiety was very sharp and hope that the bad thoughts that had crossed my head had never happened.
"sam ... Grandma!" call me as soon as it reaches the kitchen. I kept walking towards Grandma's room. When I opened the door, not feeling my mouth gaping, Nek Siti's room window that was still wide open now appeared a terrible figure. A man with a terrible body condition, his head covered in blood, there was even an axe still stuck in the middle of his head. His entire body was like a whip, because it left a pushy scar with traces of blood that was still wet, as well as some that had dried up. But what makes me gawk is the body of Nek Siti who is being raised high enough and is in the hands of the terrible creature. Nek Siti did not move, but her bulging eyes indicated she was having trouble breathing.
"Grandma!" my screams, as I was about to run over, help him, suddenly my body was thrown into the dining table behind me. I groan in pain. The feeling of linu on the back had made my strength reduced drastically, let alone to run to help Nek Siti, to wake up I was not able to. Nek Siti's helpless body there, made me try to get up. This pain is trying not to feel. Both hands began to become the foundation of my body to stand. I also grabbed a chair to help me stand up. I don't know why my legs seem unable to support my own body. With a shock I tried to get closer and went back into Grandma's room. Thought I kept saying every step I made, I asked to be given the strength to help Grandma.
The door to the room I managed to get. The murmur of dhikr was starting to clear, even I raised my voice while reciting prayers. But suddenly my tongue was confused, the prayer I was reading suddenly disappeared from my mind, all felt blank and unreasonable. The Al Fatihah I was reading could no longer continue the sentence. I forgot about the reading. The only way is to get Grandma out of here. With great difficulty I hugged Grandma's body, trying to pull Nek Siti out of the hands of the monstrous creature. Only the words basmallah are able to speak from my mouth. With all my might I managed to snatch Grandma out of the creature's hands, we fell down with Grandma's position on top of me.
"Aretha!" danu's scream now appeared at the door. She helps Grandma and takes Nek Siti to a wheelchair. I stared at the dark window there. The creature vanished, leaving only a black trail on the table. The curtain fluttered in the wind, and I just sat where I fell earlier, staring blankly at the window. Until Danu was in front of me and helped me stand up. He looks very worried.
"Not what, Dan."
Danu's one breath was very clear, and it showed relief in her after hearing my answer earlier. "Grandma how?" tanyaku and now looking for the whereabouts of Nek Siti who was still sitting quietly in her wheelchair.
"Father, Tha. But I think we should take Grandma to the doctor."
"Why, Dan?"
We both got closer to Nek Siti. Danu leaned over, watching Grandma's neck. I followed what he did, narrowing my eyes so that what Danu meant could also be caught.
"See this! Nek Siti's neck," point Danu to the bottom of the head. I brought my head closer and saw what Danu meant.
"Oh God! Don't - not for the giggling!" I said assume.
"Gaggots?" And I looked at him, asking for more explanation.
"Don't you see that male demon?" askaku.
"Where? What demon?" I looked around, looking for something.
"So Grandma strangled the devil, man - man and ... Horrible."
"Tha, where have you been, a demon that's not terrible?! So that's why Grandma's neck is like this? Oh, my God, what a pity. It must hurt, Tha."
"We're taking it to Doctor Daniel!" I said enthusiastically. Danu nodded and agreed to my new idea of san.
The clock shows at 8 p.m. After grabbing a jacket in each room, we started walking out of the house. Grandma's already wearing my sweeter, 'cause I'm sure the night air's pretty cold.
"The door locks first, Tha!" said Danu as soon as we got to the terrace.
"Yes, baffles!" I turned the key around and made sure the house was sealed shut.
