The Three Chosen
228. Returnees

After shaking hands with Faiq and his family, Paul invited them into the house. At that time Mirva was accompanied by three women and the shaman. Seeing the presence of the people seen in his vision the shaman smiled. He stood up to greet Faiq and his family and greeted them one by one.

“ This grandfather who told me to ask for help with the Father and family.” said Paul explained.

“ I know, thank you Kek...,” said Faiq while smiling at the shaman.

“ Equally. Now that you are here, it is time I go..” said the shaman and came out of Paul's house with a smile.

Faiq and Fatur stared at each other with a smile. Both salute to see the attitude of the knight shown by the shaman. Then they looked back at Mirva who suddenly sat down while growling furiously. The three women who were with him also looked frightened and shifted away from Mirva.

“ Mothers stay here help Us yes..,” pinta Faiq.

“ But I'm afraid Sir. Last night, six men could not handle the rampaging Mirva, let alone a rich woman We.

“ I don't need to hold Mirva, but stay in this room to help dzikir..,” Faiq explained.

“ Oh, if that's all we can do.” said the three women with a smile.

“ Well, We are from now on yes..” said Faiq who was taken by the three women.

Then Faiq and his family began the process of ruqyah after previously wearing gloves. Mirva's demon guts shrieked in her face with Faiq, Fatur, Iyaz and Izar. While Heru and Pandu seem to sit while reciting and reading Surah Al Qur’an which they memorized.

The reaction Mirva showed was quite unexpected. Mirva changed her sitting position and squatted down. He then jumped on Iyaz and Izar. They quickly dodged Mirva. Mirva's rapid movements made Paul and his three neighbors look surprised.

After failing to attack Iyaz and Izar, Mirva turned her body around and revealed her face that looked different from her real face. The face of a lion-like with tangled hair and fangs sticking out on both sides of her lips made Mirva's appearance very creepy. Plus the growling sound and the exact same body attitude as the beast made the three women in the room even more frightened. The three of them frowned loudly as Mirva turned her head towards them. Disturbed by what the three women did, Mirva attacked the three women. But Mirva's movement was held back because Iyaz, Izar, Heru and Pandu stood in front of the three women.

Mirva roared furiously for failing to get her prey. But Mirva stopped her roar as she saw Pandu was among the four men who confronted her. It seems that the soul of Mirva who loves Pandu is beginning to worry. But it was only for a moment. Because the demons in Mirva's body again controlled her body. Even the demons in Mirva's body brought Mirva up the wall, which is impossible for Mirva to do under normal conditions. Paul almost fainted but Fatur managed to encourage Paul to stay conscious and see everything.

“ Strong Sir, don't be weak. Mirva needs her Dad..!” the word Fatur was so loud that it awakened Paul.

“ Astaghfirullah aladziim. Yes, yes, sir. I am strong, I want to help My Son.” Paul said.

Paul's words made the three women who were with him surprised and smiled. They knew that Paul had forgotten that holy sentence since the death of his wife. Paul, who converted, assumed that God had wronged him by taking the wife he loved. Paul ‘ngambek’ and no longer do worship like a Muslim after his wife's funeral. Even the teenage Mirva had to lose the figure of a father because Paul prefers to busy himself with work to forget his disappointment.

Paul's istighfar speech turned out to make the devil in Mirva's body angry and lunged at Paul until Paul was stranded to the floor with a thud. Mirva managed to sit on her father's body and was ready to strangle Paul.

Faiq and Fatur quickly caught Mirva's hand outstretched by Paul's collar. And Iyaz and Izar are more alert. Both pulled Mirva's body away from Paul. Mirva seems reluctant to let Paul go because he is still pulling the end of Paul's shirt. Iyaz and Izar were forced to hit Mirva's arm to remove Paul's shirt that began to tear.

When the pull of Mirva's hand was released, Paul also moved away with a pale face because he could not imagine the skin of his body was torn earlier.

“ Kok Mirva so savage so yes Ma'am..,” said one of Paul's neighbors.

“ Yes, very similar to a lion..,” said the woman next to him.

“ But the lion is not adept at climbing Bu..” said the first woman earlier.

“ Her name is also a lion so-genesis Bu, which can not be so can..,” said the woman.

“ Ssttt. Better to dzikir. Do you want to be attacked with Mirva.?” ask the woman next to them to make the two neighbors of Paul silenced for fear.

After a fairly interesting drama of attraction seized the energy, Faiq and Fatur finally pushed forward to stop the savagery of the creature in Mirva's body.

Faiq threw the chicken he had seen on the table at Mirva, after smearing it with a powder of camphor wood. Mirva caught him and devoured him quickly. It was then that Faiq, Fatur, Iyaz and Izar made a circle around Mirva and attacked Mirva together to make the demons in Mirva's body overwhelmed. Moreover, the chicken meat he ate earlier made his mouth and throat feel hot like burning. Mirva screamed and could not control herself. It was then that Faiq held out a bottle of mineral water towards Mirva.

“ Want to drink, take this...,” said Faiq.

Without a second thought Mirva grabbed the water bottle and gulped the contents down to the toilet. Guess how Mirva will react next. Mirva howled while rolling on the floor. Fatur also doused Mirva's body with ruqyah water that he carried to make Mirva helpless.

Mirva screamed once more and then fell unconscious. A moment later the demon in Mirva's body came out of Mirva's body in a state of horror because her entire body was full of wounds.

“ Go and don't come back again..!” faiq said loudly while sprinkling camphor powder towards the creature.

The silky creature in the form of a lion groaned in pain. The camphor powder again injured him because it exploded when it touched his skin. Unable to bear the pain, the lion nodded weakly and darted away from Paul's house.

“ Alhamdulillah..,” says Faiq, Fatur and the twins together.

His words made everyone in the room happy and smiling.

“ Thank God, yes Sir..,” sahut Faiq.

“ But why does Mirva ga move..?” ask Paul worriedly.

“ Mirva gapapa Sir, just exhausted. Let him sleep for a while..,” says Faiq.

“ Oh so, thank goodness.” said Paul as he rubbed his sweaty face.

Paul's three neighbors smiled. They approached Mirva then tidied up Mirva's clothes and covered her body with a blanket.  Afterwards they went to the kitchen to prepare coffee and snacks. They returned to the living room with a tray of coffee and boiled cassava.

\=====

Mirva awakens in the Maghrib. He opened his eyes while looking around him. Mirva frowned as she felt that her entire body was very sick. When he opened his mouth because he wanted to ask, Mirva was surprised. He felt his mouth and throat burning hot.

Paul, who first saw Mirva Siuman, seemed to approach her with a smile.

“ You are aware Son. How are you doing..?” paul asked with teary eyes.

Mirva shook her head in tears as she could not answer her father's question. Paul turned to Faiq for an explanation.

“ Next two days Mirva will have trouble talking. Drink water mixed with honey to neutralize the pain, sir. Do not eat spicy first so that the wound in his throat heals quickly.” Faiq advice.

“ Well Sir, thanks..,” says Paul relieved.

“ Please remind Mirva to keep fardhu prayer yes Sir..,” said Faiq who is subscribed to Paul.

Faiq's words were satirical to Paul and embarrassed him. Mirva lowered her head knowing something had happened to her earlier. Mirva remembers that she had teamed up with the devil to commit a crime. And he knew that one day the creature that had helped him would come and ask for a reward. Remembering that made Mirva cry out of regret.

Paul hugged his son tightly while whispering a soothing phrase to Mirva.

“ Don't cry anymore Mirva. Papa's here for you, Papa ain't gonna let you live it all by yourself later. Papa will do his best to make you happy. We do it together, son..,” whispered Paul.

“ Mmm..., mmm...,” says Mirva while nodding signs agree.

Paul smiled and kissed Mirva's head fondly. Paul knew he had a hand in what was happening today. Paul promises to fix everything. Paul also intended to call the religious teacher to deepen his religious knowledge and worship that he had long neglected.

The sight of Paul embracing Mirva moved everyone. After making sure Mirva was okay, Faiq and his family resigned right when the Maghrib adhan reverberated.

After performing the Maghrib prayer in musholla, Faiq and his family sat on the terrace of the musholla talking.

“ Do you want to nelephon Cici Nak.?” ask Heru.

“ I want Well, but a few days this signal is bad..,” says Quick Scout.

“ But tonight the sky is clear you Mas, maybe the signal is also good.” said Izar while raising his eyebrows teasing Pandu.

The guide nodded then shifted away. He tried to make a video call with Hanako and connected.

“ Dear Assalamualaikum..,” greet Pandu with a smile.

“ Wa alaikumsalam Mas..,” Hanako said shyly.

“ I miss You Sha...” said Pandu to make Hanako face blushing.

“ When to go home Mas..?” tanya Hanako tried to ignore Pandu's remark.

“ Insha Allah asap Darling. Why, did you miss..?” ask Pandu.

“ Yes, the time is still nanya also..,” said Hanako with a frown to make Pandu laugh happily.

The sound of Pandu's laughter makes Faiq and his family look at him and smile at the happiness of Pandu and Hanako.
