Pelet, black magic from Indonesia

Yongki and Ratna were in their room. Even though it was late at night, the two of them were still awake. They sat comfortably on the couch, Ratna leaning fondly on Yongki's shoulder while enjoying the television shows.

Finally, we were able to marry Nadine to Gilang, even though Father was worried that he would not be able to carry out Pendi's will before he died." Yongki said. Ratna shifted her head and put him on Yongki's lap. She looked at Yongki's face and asked enthusiastically, "Mom still wants to know, how did you force Gilang to marry Nadine tonight?"

"Do you want to know?" asked Yongki.

"Haha … want to know?" asked Yongki, laughing aloud.

"Yes, come on, answer!" Ratna exclaimed curtly that she really wanted to know how her husband arranged for Gilang to marry Nadine immediately.

"Gilang, have you seen the sensitive parts of Nadine's body? Asked Dad. Gilang answered, "Yes, daddy." Dad immediately got angry and hit the table, saying, "Tonight you have to marry Nadine." Yongki said he was repeating the conversation between himself and Gilang.

"Did you want it right away?" asked Ratna, holding back the feeling of wanting to laugh.

"Want, Gilang's face is really pale, Mom; maybe he's surprised he's never been scolded by Dad." Answer Yongki.

"Ha-ha." They both laughed happily.

"After the morning prayer, they have to go to the airport; let's sleep now." Ratna said while getting up from Yongki's lap.

"That's right, Mom, come on." Yongki answered briefly, and they returned to bed.

Yongki and Ratna feel relieved; tonight, they can sleep soundly and don't have to think about Pendi's last message to two of them, a message that only Yongki and Ratna know.

Just as the sun was rising, the dawn call to prayer was heard from the mosque, which is located in the Gilang House complex. Gilang and Nadine's parents had been waiting for their arrival for a long time. Finally, after some time of waiting, Gilang and Nadine finally appeared together in the house prayer room.

"My daughter, who is very beautiful, wears a mukena." Ratna said, embracing Nadine to stand beside her.

"Thank you, ma'am." Nadine replied with a big smile, getting praise from her mother-in-law.

Yongki turned his head back to check whether the people who worshiped with him were ready to follow him as priests in carrying out the morning prayers. After making sure that his family was ready, he uttered the takbir, "Allah hu Akbar." They solemnly carry out their morning prayers together, and Nadine looks very focused and solemn when doing so.

A few minutes passed; they had finished performing the dawn prayer in congregation. "Dar!" suddenly, the prayer light bulb went off, and everyone in it jumped a little. Yongki's face looked at the front wall of the prayer room. "Satan, don't disturb my family; go away!" Yongki exclaimed.

Anxiety covered the faces of Nadine and the two women behind her; the two maids looked worried seeing what had happened for the first time in their master's house, while Gilang and Ratna looked calm in facing the situation at that time.

"Apparently I am a source of trouble for you, but even so, you are wrong; we are a family of faith!" cried Gilang. Ratna also stood up and said, "O devil, we are a family that adheres to our faith; go before you burn yourself." Ratna said that Gilang and Ratna had peace because they had the same spiritual abilities as Yongki.

"Ha ha ha." There was the joyful laughter of an invisible young woman. Nadine was scared and immediately hugged her husband for protection. On a frightening morning, Gilang begins to be attacked by black magic owned by Ki Arya and Nyi Laras.

Yongki stood up from his seat and approached the front wall of the prayer room. He put his hand on the wall and closed his eyes. In his calm, Yongki read the holy verses of Al-Quran.

Suddenly, black smoke came out in a circle from the inside of the wall, accompanied by a young woman's full, pained screams, begging, "Let me go. Forgive me."

"This is the final warning; don't ever bother my family again!" Yongki shouted, releasing his hand from the wall, and the black smoke slowly dispersed and disappeared. Yongki wiped his sweat.

After the atmosphere calmed down, Nadine let go of her arms, and they all gathered in the middle of the prayer room, sitting cross-legged. "You see for yourself, there is no reason to miss praying again." Yongki said this while looking at the faces of Nadine and her two assistants.

"Yes, so that we are always protected by the Almighty." Ratna answered in response to her husband's words. An astonished expression appeared on Nadine's face when she looked at Ratna, and then she asked suspiciously, "Did my mother do that, but why did she attack Gilang instead of me?"

"Yes, honey, one of your mom's goals was to take pictures of us together, so she could do scary, unconscious things." Gilang said as he hugged his wife tightly. "But don't worry; we have strong faith, so there's no need to be afraid of evil forces." Gilang spoke with full confidence and tried to calm Nadine's heart and mind.

Now that you are getting ready to go on your honeymoon, you are happy there." Yongki said this to Nadine and Gilang.

Nadine immediately shed tears because her heart was hurt by her own mother's actions, but Nadine tried to keep her smile even though her heart was broken by her mother's actions while wiping away the flowing tears.

"Dad, Mom, I ask permission to enter the room with Gilang," said Nadine, then she glanced at Gilang. "Come on, honey, we have to start getting ready." Nadine invites Gilang by pulling his hand.

"Nadine, after preparing ourselves, we will eat together before we go to the airport." Ratna said so lovingly and affectionately to Nadine, as indicated by her hand stroking Nadine's arm.

Gilang and Nadine kissed Yongki and Ratna's hands before they all left the prayer room. Nadine felt more peaceful when she walked beside Gilang; she happily wrapped her hand in her husband's arm. "I feel lucky to be part of your family, honey," Nadine said as she pressed her face against Gilang's arm.

"We love you very much; you have been part of our family since childhood, right, ponytail?" Gilang said and tucked in a nickname from Nadine's childhood, which was pinned by Gilang at that time.

Nadine's face was sullen, looking at her husband's face. "Don't call ponytail again!" Nadine exclaimed while replying to Gilang's joke by giving a gentle touch to his arm with a gentle pinch.

"Ha ha ha." Gilang let out a chuckle when he saw the reaction on his wife's face. "Actually, since we were in school, my heart has been captivated by you." Gilang said happily to Nadine, so that her face brightened again.

"Me too." Nadine answered shyly, saying that they both had the same feelings.

Nadine and Gilang entered the room with great intimacy and joy, and they started preparing everything they needed for their romantic trip to Bali.

Thirty minutes passed.

Nadine and Gilang walked out of the room holding each other's hands. They carried a medium suitcase and placed it in the living room before walking towards the dining room. There, Ratna was preparing breakfast for them to eat together.

Nadine looked at several choices of dishes on the table. "I miss the dishes that mom used to make," said Nadine while sitting in a chair together with Gilang. Recalling his childhood memories, he still has vivid images of how Ratna lovingly cared for him when he was little.

"Thanks, let's eat." Ratna said, stroking Nadine's arm lovingly.

"Actually, you two have been matched since childhood." Yongki said while eating the dish that as soon as Nadine and Gilang were surprised to hear that, they immediately looked at Yongki's face.

Previously, there was already an arranged marriage, father?" Gilang asked enthusiastically.

"That's right, Gilang, before Pendi died, he ordered to marry you off immediately with Nadine, but you are already united, Alhamdulillah." Yongki answered casually while chewing the food in his mouth.

"Oh, apparently lightning isn't just an ordinary natural thing." Gilang said in a soft voice, "You have to be careful with your promises; don't leave me and be exposed to unexpected danger." Nadine said this in response to Gilang's words while giving herself a warning.

"It's impossible for Gilang to do that unless hit by pellets," said Ratna, defending her child. "Nadine asked earnestly, 'What are pellets, Mom?'"

"One of the events that happened this morning is famous in Indonesia as black magic," Yongki answered while putting down the cutlery. Nadine's face looked even more confused by Yongki's answer. "Someone sent pellets to Gilang; whether it was your mother or another woman, I don't know for sure." Yongki explained the events that happened this morning.

"Since last night, I have felt it, but with Allah's permission, I can overcome it." Gilang said this while hugging Nadine's shoulder.

Ratna looked at the clock on the wall and said, "Let's go now." Ratna got up from her seat, deliberately stopping the conversation, which made Nadine even more worried.

"Come on, Mom." Yongki welcomed the husband, who understands his wife's worries. Nadine and Gilang simultaneously stood up, and in pairs, they walked out of the dining room to the living room. Yongki and Ratna are no less intimate with their children; their age is still productive in making love.

A few moments later, they were in the car. Yongki and Ratna accompanied their son and in-laws on their honeymoon.
