I saw her at the end of the alley. She saw me, the grandmother saw me. I rushed to run away, but she chased me. I looked back, he crawled quickly and the maggots spilled out of her left eye.

I kept running but my pace slowed down. My breaths thinned, and I stopped as the rough, sticky hand clung to my ankle.

I tried to break free but couldn't.

He tugged at me and I was dragged now, even tighter. The maggots were scattered on my body.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"

"Son, wake up!!"

I woke up, gasping for air with a cold sweat running down my face.

"Hey, drink this first"

My mother gave me a glass of water.

"For the past 3 days, you have always had bad dreams, son. Tell me what you dreamed about"

I just kept quiet and lay back down again. Honestly, since the incident 3 days ago, I haven't told anything to my parents. About what happened to me.

And it gave me nightmares and been sick during the events of that night until now.

The news that my sister was coming 3 days ago was canceled because there was still a family matter. Yes, my sister is married, and already has 1 son.

my Father said that my sister would come this afternoon.

"Son, let's eat lunch first. You haven't eaten breakfast earlier."

Dad came to bring my lunch.

Then dad held my forehead.

"Hmm, the fever hasn't gone down yet"

"Well, just take him to the hospital?"

my Mother added.

"No, I don't want"

I immediately cut off my parents' conversation at that time. The first reason is that I'm afraid of needles, and the second reason is that I'm sick because I have nightmares not sick of anything else.

"Okay, just take a break"

Then mom and dad left my room.

"Why don't you tell them?"

Awan added while laying down on my left.

"I don't know, I just don't want to tell them."

He just mumbled next to me.

I tried to hold back the pain I felt, the confusing pain. No cuts, bruises, or anything else. But my stomach hurt so bad like there was a peg stuck in it. And I didn't tell this problem my parents and even Cloud didn't know I felt that way.

Every time I straighten my body, my stomach will feel very sick. Very ill. I can only curl up in my king until now.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Awan again asked me the same thing.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Only now my stomach hurts again"

This time I express what I feel, because I can't help it.

"Maybe you should eat now"

"Yeah, I'll eat it later."

***

The noise in the living room woke me up from my nap. I looked at the clock on the table next to my bed showing 06.00 pm, I forced myself to get up and sit on the bed.

"Ughhh"

I thought the pain from the afternoon had gone away, but it was still the same and didn't go away, it just got worse.

I leaned against the wall next to my bed.

Suddenly a boy entered my room and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Hi"

I greeted him slowly,

Then he ran out.

It wasn't long before someone else came in.

"Hey, what's up with you?"

I lifted my head and looked at it.

"Hey. Ahhh"

I groaned as I got up from my seat.

"Sis, when are you coming?"

"It was half-past six, what's wrong with you?"

"Hmm, just a normal fever"

He approached me, then he called my father.

"Dad, come here for a second."

Shortly after my sister called him, my father then came along with the boy earlier.

"Why, Emi?"

"Didn't you see? his stomach was stabbed by the horns"

"What!"

Spontaneously, my father and I shouted at the same time.

"I can see it, there's a horn stuck in the middle of your belly"

My sister added again, porch stroking my forehead.

"Put your body down first"

I just followed what my sister said.

"Well, he 3 days ago met a creature. And that creature also terrorized him"

He knows what happened earlier, just by holding my forehead.

"That creature didn't accept it, because it was kicked by you. And that creature had sent Glendeng Pecik to finish you off. It was Jin who terrorized you. And now it puts goat horns in your stomach!".

My sister knows everything, but something is missing. He didn't know that Awan was there.

He couldn't feel Awan's presence.

Then my mother sat next to me on the edge of the bed.

"Does it hurt son?"

my mother stroked my forehead, I felt a drop of water fall on my cheek.

"Mom, why are you crying?"

She didn't answer, he just cried. My sister came to calm down

my Mother.

Why is everyone panicking, I feel this is something normal.

Then dad came up to me and stood on the edge of the bed just above my head.

Then dad rubbed his two thumbs to the right and left of my forehead. my Father repeated it three times.

The first one I'm confused, because I can't explain in detail what my sister looks like, the second why everyone panicked when they found out there was a goat horn stuck in my stomach. And are they hiding something?

I tried using my telepathy with my sister.

"Sis, what happened?"

she who previously looked blankly at the window then slowly looked at me.

"Don't you know about goat horns yet?"

she replied.

< I wanted to tell you about my sister but the time is not right now to talk about it.>

I just shook my head at her.

"It's a rare disease made by the jinn to mankind. If sending Glendeng Pecik doesn't work, then the genie will send horns and pin them to the limbs. Then within a week, the person affected by the horn will die."

Hah! I didn't answer. I just silently gave her the expression that I would be fine.

"Hey, H calm down. Surely we will find a way out."

***

It turned out that the boy was my sister Emi's son. His name is Aga. He is still in elementary school.

Today I noticed everyone is busy, my Father, my mother, my sister too.

"Sis, why does everyone seem busy today?"

I had to use my telepathy on her. Because today I am still sleeping in bed because the pain is getting worse. I haven't gotten out of bed for 4 days.

"We are making "Selametan Tebus Urip", it is aimed at the Jin who was kicked by you. We want to sincerely apologize so that he pulls out the horn before the goat-headed creature comes to you."

"What is a goat-headed creature?"

"You should just rest."

Goat Headed Creature??? come to me???

Hmm, I'm getting confused...

"Awan, come I need a friend"

I called Awan because right now all I can do is lie on the bed. Because the slightest movement of the pain was half dead, it felt like there was a stake I felt stuck in my stomach. Which if I shifted would be very painful.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Awan came over me through my bedroom window.

"Do you see I'm okay?"

Without another word, he showed an expression of regret for asking me that.

"Your house is making an offering ceremony"

He added.

"So how did they prepare it?"

I asked him because he knows how busy the kitchen is.

"Your father has been looking for a hen with five colored feathers or called the Panca Warna. While your mother is looking for eggs that are released from the rooster. Your sister, she prepared 7 kinds of flowers and yellow rice along with red porridge rice."

"Was it that complicated they made it?"

"Yes, because for your sake. So that you are not taken by the genie"

Awan added.

Duh, duh sometimes being an abnormal person is very troublesome and difficult to live with. Especially if it is in Java, and is still thick with mystical things.

"Didn't my sister know of your whereabouts?"

I asked him.

"Hmm, she doesn't know. Because I told you that I was here willing to wait 13 years just for you. And I deliberately didn't show myself to them, I only showed myself to you"

"Are you going to continue like this?"

He just fell silent after I asked him that.

***

The sound of the Maghrib Adhan has resounded.

The offerings have been sent under the avocado tree by father. Then my mother came to my room.

"Son, don't move ok"

my Mother climbed onto the bed standing up. Then she stepped over me back and forth seven times.

Then she came out of the room and closed the door.

I can only be silent and do not know what will happen after this.

I called Awan, but he didn't come. I called my sister but she didn't answer.

Then after some time. I saw a creature in black robes and the head of a goat. He was floating above me at the end of my front wall.

He carried a staff, his entire body covered by a long black robe.

I saw him just silent, he only had one horn on his head.

He looked at me blankly.

What is this, what is he going to do to me.. what is this.

"Mom,?"

"Dad...?"

"Sis...?"
