The Tomb Next to the House
31. Help Ustadz Khalid
Raihan and I immediately lunged out of the wooden building. Keep running out of the yard. Leaving Bryan still mourning his father's body. Our minds are both confused. Fear of anything happening with Althaf who was alone in the house.
"Positive thinking, Deck. I hope Althaf is okay. Pray that God will always protect you. You met ustadz Khalid first to seek help. Mas who will check the state of Althaf," he explained giving instructions that I replied with a nod, before we parted at a crossroads.
Immediately I speed up my footsteps to get to Khalid's ustadz residence. And it just so happened that I met him on the street.
"Ustad!!" yell me. Even the bird that was relaxing perched on top of a branch to fly into the sky was so shocked.
Ustadz Khalid turned to me while shaking.
"Assalamu'alaikum .. "said when our distance is near.
"W-walaikumussalam, Ustadz," I smiled back clumsyly as I adjusted my breath.
"What's up, Ma'am? How about running around like that? I just saw the devil."
"Yes, Tadz. A-there's a demon."
Ustadz Khalid frowned. His face looks confused.
"Rather Kades .... "
"What's wrong with Mr. Kades?"
"He ... Killed by his pet demon."
"Astaghfirullah. What's this mom talking about?"
"Let's go to our house first. We'll explain."
Although still doubtful, Ustadz Khalid was willing to follow my footsteps as well. Along the way, I hope everything will be okay. May the black creature did nothing to our child.
My hope was dashed when the footsteps almost reached the goal.
"Astaghfiullah! Al?!" my cry from a distance watched the scene beyond reason.
Ustadz Khalid was no less surprised by me. We saw clearly, Raihan was trying to pull the arm of Althaf, part of his body, as if sucked into the ground right in the middle of the sacred tomb next to the house.
"Please, Ma ... Al was afraid .. "the whine was in tears. I just got panicked.
"Can't you believe it, Mom? What the creature that's a—"
"Mas doesn't know the story either. Pas Mas Dateng, Al is already here screaming for help. But no one wants to leave the house" Raihan regretted making me angry.
My lyrics ustadz Khalid at a glance. He just stayed in place with his eyes closed and lips moving small. Looks like he's reciting a prayer or something I don't understand.
A few seconds later, Ustadz Khalid approached the tomb, which had nearly swallowed Althaf's body. The mouthfuls of the tomb while continuing to mutter prayers. Slowly his hand holding the beads came down to the ground, then to the body of Althaf who was still struggling in panic.
Not long after a miracle happened. Slowly but surely we were able to pull Althaf's body out of the ground with a little more ease. All our efforts were in vain. It felt like something was in there that was blocking our efforts.
Brugh!
Because the pull was too strong, Althaf's body that had fully come out of there was also befalling us both until it fell flat on the ground.
"Awh," I groaned as I felt pain in both elbows.
But I immediately ignored to see Althaf's condition that looked suspicious. Wasn't she still crying? Why is it quiet now?
"Al's? Wake up!"
I turn my head to the sound source.
"Althaf why, Mas?" I asked, not yet understanding the situation that occurred.
"Astaghfiullah!"
Not yet I confirm the situation of Althaf who is still lying on the ground, Ustadz Khalid has been squealing with a panic tone. Atenciku. Between seeing the condition of Althaf and what makes ustadz Khalid beristighfar ria.
My husband immediately grabbed Althaf's body, which I thought the boy was fainting. Alright, Althaf is Raihan's business. Now, what made the ustadz surprised?
"What's Us ... tadz .... ?" My question was interrupted when my net had just seen the blood pouring from the ground through the hole that had sucked Althaf's body.
In disbelief, but this is plastered in plain sight. What the hell is going on?
