This incident before my eyes was fast. The other broadcasters swiftly approached the three female broadcasters who were already acting strangely. Each of them is held tightly by several other broadcasters including Teh Opi and Teh Hani to be made aware of.
"Woi Adu! Help hold it! He said you used to like to help sir ustad megangin people possessed," cried Opi Tea.
Adul shook his head quickly. "Tea, please Adul," he exclaimed to me softly. "Feet Adul lemes. Adul's afraid, Tea.
"Xu, let's help you hold on!" Teh Hani said looking at me.
"I-iya, Tea," I said with great difficulty and got up towards him followed by Gia and Remi. My hand trembled as it touched the leg of one of the female announcers who had glared sharply at me as Teh Hani recited the Verse of Chairs.
His strength seemed to be multiplying, so that the five people who were holding him felt overwhelmed.
"Gi! Don't daydream, read the chair verse!" teh Opi jolt as she stared at Gia whose gaze was starting to empty.
Too late! Gia's body collapsed to the floor within seconds after the Opi Tea finished speaking. Me and Remi immediately approached and tried to resuscitate him.
"Adul help!" I cried to Adul who was still afraid. "It's Gia fainting, help her!"
By crawling, Adul approached us and helped resuscitate Gia by patting her cheek and shaking her body.
The relief that came to me when I saw Gia's eyes begin to open did not last long because the next second she laughed out loud.
"Astagfireullah! Gia's tea is sticking demit!" ceplos Aful toned who instantly got a sharp gaze from Gia.
"I want my son!" gia said with great emphasis.
"Dih, ngehalu the Teteh," Adul replied by patting Gia's arm. "It's not a child yet!"
"Give me back my son!" yell at Gia again.
"Which son does Teteh mean? Istigfar, Tea! Tomo is not yet the husband of Teteh, but Teteh has no son," replied Adul again.
"My son ma*ti! My children ma*ti when they are going to visit their grandmother in a faraway land!" yell at Gia again.
"Gia Tea Why, Tea?" ask Adul to me. "Ngaco by the way."
"You were not aware of the situation? Temen-men on the trance, this Gia also rich in trance!" sentakku annoyed. It seemed, fear made Adul's way of thinking slow down.
Adul was wide-eyed after hearing my answer, then quickly glanced towards Gia who was already laughing back.
Plaque!
"Indit maneh! (Go you!)" adul said by patting Gia's forehead tight.
"Astagfirefull!" Remi and I were amazingly shocked when I saw Adul do that.
"Indit, indite, indite! (Go, go, go!)" repeat again while patting Gia's forehead many times. Remi quickly restrained Adul's hand which almost landed back on Gia's forehead which already looked red.
"Hold his head, Dul. Teteh want to read," tell me. I lowered my head towards Gia's ear and recited the Verse of the Chair in a loud voice while holding one of her hands. Remi held her other hand while Adul moved over Gia's head and held it firmly.
Chief Gia moves wildly every time I say a verse by verse.
Plaque!
I went back to reciting Ayat Kursi many times until it felt like my throat was dry. The howls and shouts of other broadcasters whose trance is getting firmer fill every corner of this room, unpretentious to the Ayat Kursi recited over and over again.
Brak!
"Astagfirefull!" exclaiming Adu was shocked because his position was closest to the front door that had just been opened violently.
The figure of Mr. Obi is seen walking in. Quickly, he went to one by one possessed broadcaster, reading something in the ear before rubbing their heads slowly.
The screams gradually disappeared before the possessed broadcasters lost consciousness again. Not long after, the electricity began to light up and make the room instantly bright. There were footsteps approaching, and I saw Bang Win and Kang Utep walking in with shocked eyes.
"Take your way into the meeting room" asked Kang Utep. We all simultaneously picked up the unconscious broadcasters including Gia.
***
"The feeling of you is not good when you leave you here" said Mr. Obi opened the conversation.
I, Bang Win, Kang Utep, Teh Hani and Teh Opi gathered on the terrace with him after a tiring event a while ago. All the other broadcasters have gone home and left us.
"This building has always been famous for being haunted. The Neng Nday family servants also used to never be at home working here because they often get interference."
"Originally, it was very surprising that we were, sir," I said softly. Mr. Obi smiled at me.
"Yes, Sir. Moreover, there is a figure of indigenous women creeping on the wall, the same figure who does not have a head," added Teh Opi.
Bang Win looked at me for a long time and tightened his grip on my hand.
"Where was singing Dutch songs, again," continued Teh Hani. "Bikin' really cool."
"What used to be this house, which has Dutch people?" manya curious.
"The news is that, Neng. In the past, this house was built by a Dutch man, who married a native woman and had two children. The tragic story happened when the Dutch man intended to return to the Netherlands and bring his two children to meet their grandmother who they had never met. Unfortunately, just as they were about to leave, they were summoned*tai by the Japanese army who had already come to power in Indonesia."
We all nodded.
"Tragically again, the man's wife witnessed firsthand when her two children were murdered*nuh, and her husband was beheaded. From that moment on, the woman became less sane until her death shortly after the incident."
Silence is created because we are busy with our own thoughts.
"So, the one we just saw, the spirit of the owner of the house, yes sir?" tanya Teh Opi lirih in the end.
Mr. Obi chuckles. "Obviously no. When a man dies, all his business is done in this world. If anyone says he has met a dead person, you can only say that it is not the person concerned. Have you ever heard that every human being is born with a companion?"
We all nodded back.
"Every human being is born with a companion named Jin Qorin. This genie follows from the time humans are born, until humans die. The point is exactly the same as the man he follows, including knowing everything that humans feel.
When the human died, Jin Qorin remained in the world with everything that was the same as the human. Including if there are deep feelings for someone or somewhere. This genie figure is what is often mistaken for the human spirit and sometimes appears."
"So not a spirit, sir?" ask Opi Tea.
"Obviously not, son. The spirit will enter the phase of the grave, before the time of the day on which all men are resurrected. After you like that, Wallahu a'lam bish-shawab," replied Mr. Obi closed the conversation.
