The Three Chosen
83. Possessive Ghosts
Hanako awakens as the Fajr Adhan reverberates in the distance. He rubbed his eyes and looked around him because he remembered there was a ghostly figure of a man who followed him last night.
“ Find Me...?” ask the ghost of the man in black.
“ Yes. Come out, don't follow me..” pinta Hanako.
“ If I don't want..?” challenge the ghost of the man.
“ I just reminded. I guarantee you will not be comfortable near me.” Hanako said as she stepped into the bathroom.
" I wonder what would happen if I followed you." murmured the ghost of the man in black.
The man's ghost smiled and floated around Hanako who stepped into the bathroom. But as Hanako walked into the bathroom and closed the door, the ghostly body of the man bounced as if it had hit an invisible wall made of fire.
The man's ghost seemed to flick his smoky clothes as if it had just hit a wall of fire. Then the ghost turned to Hanako who had just come out of the bathroom after ablution. He again followed Hanako and stood right next to her as Hanako performed her Fajr prayer.
The ghost's body bounced back even further to the exit of the room as Hanako said the impeachment of ihram while raising both of her palms. The ghost growled angrily and again pushed forward to approach Hanako who was solemnly worshiping.
Just like earlier, the ghost's body was thrown back as if there was an invisible force that prevented him from staying away from Hanako. Finally the ghost chose to stay outside while waiting for Hanako to finish her prayer.
After seeing Hanako folding her prayer equipment, the ghost of the man again approached Hanako.
“ What did you do, why did I fall many times earlier.?.?” the ghost of the man was curious.
“ I told you not to follow me, but you ngeyel...,” Hanako cuek said.
“ That's not what I want to hear. I asked what you did until I fell many times before.?” ask the ghost again.
“ You really want to know...? ask Hanako.
“ Yes...,” said the ghost of the man to make Hanako smile.
“ When I want to enter the bathroom I read the prayer first. I asked God to protect me from the demonic interference of women and men. You are a male ghost, so it is because of prayer that God protects
I'm from your evil eye's sight. Anyway do you want to follow me to the bathroom all. Surely you have bad intentions, right the same I.?” accuse Hanako.
“ Don't just say you..” say the ghost of the man.
“ I didn't just say. If you are a good man, you will not live in the room of a rich woman. Fortunately I've been used to changing clothes in the bathroom, so you will never be able to squirm Me in a state of swallowing**ng..” said Hanako Ketus.
The ghost of the man gasped in shock. He misjudged Hanako. He thought Hanako would be the same as any other woman. Although Hanako lets him follow her, Hanako does not let him see Hanako in a state of being without clothes or when Hanako does her personal activities.
“ So I was thrown away because of your prayer reading earlier...? ask the ghost of the man.
“ Yes...,” says Hanako.
“ I'm sorry, after it's all revealed I'm leaving. And all that time I'm not gonna go back inside
your room...” said the ghost of the man.
“ That's the best...,” said Hanako quickly although not sure the ghost of the man in black will keep his promise.
“ Are you willing to help me..?” ask the ghost of the man carefully.
“ Insha Allah. We'll talk later after I get home from college..” Hanako said reluctantly.
“ Good. I'm waiting for you outside..” said the ghost of the man.
“ Hmmm...,” Hanako said while opening the door to help the mother prepare her family breakfast in the dining room.
“ Hey, what's your name..?” ask Hanako.
“ Call Me Abin...,” said the ghost of the man as it passed.
“ Ok...,” Hanako said while closing the door.

The ghost of a man named Abin continues to follow Hanako everywhere even to campus. Although it does not bother Hanako, but Abin's ghost actually bothers Hanako's friends. Abin's possessive attitude was evident when Hanako was approached by her male friend.
When he saw the men who were trying to get close to Hanako, Abin immediately acted. He would get angry and disturb them. As some of Hanako's friends have experienced today. One of Hanako's friends, Arif, felt like his shoulder was hit with a blunt object.
“ Oh, what the hell. It hurts so rich there is mukul Gue..” said Arif while looking to the right and to the left. He also held his shoulder which hurt.
“ Not I you know..” said another Hanako friend because he did not want to be blamed.
“ Continue who dong, the time of the ghost who hit Gue...,” muttered Arif while stomping on his shoulder that hurt.
“ Ah ngaco Lo, where there is a ghost gini day. Ghosts are nongolnya only night doang..,” said friend Hanako.
“ But...,” greeting Arif cut off when Hanako said goodbye.
“ Mmm..., sorry I went there first yaa...,” said Hanako while rushing away from her friends.
Arif and two other Hanako friends seem confused to see Hanako's slightly different attitude today.
In class Abin was acting. He pulled the chair that Herman was going to sit on just because he had just greeted Hanako. As a result, Herman fell on the floor. In addition to making noise, Herman also had to resist the embarrassment of falling without cause and laughing at classmates.
Hanako who saw Abin's nosy attitude could do nothing. He wanted to protest Abin's attitude but he did not because he did not want to be considered g*la when others saw him talking to himself later.
“ Don't disturb them can right..,” protest Hanako while whispering.
“ I only protected you..” says the ghost of Abin.
“ They are not bad people, they are my friends.” Hanako said.
“ For me the same...,” said ghost Abin while floating away.
“ Strange ghost base..,” Hanako grouse.
“ I heard Hanako...!” said the ghost of Abin from a distance.
Hanako bellowed while stomping her feet. Hanako is upset that the ghost of Abin, who is feared by all students, is engrossed in following her and restricting her interactions.
After a day of being restrained by Abin's ghost, Hanako gets even more upset. He walked to the park and sat alone in the garden chair. Hanako pulled out her phone and contacted Faiq.
“ Assalamualaikum Papa, can you help me ga..?” ask Hanako.
“ Wa alaikumsalam Son. God willing we obrolin later. Now Papa is out again to snail..” Faiq said.
“ Okay, I'll wait for you Pa...” Hanako said ending her conversation with Faiq.
Hanako smiles believing Faiq can help her escape Abin's ghost.
