Turbulance

It's feel like a storm brewing in his head. His heart grew heavier. He feel sad like he is parting with someone closed to him.

Towards Hakimi he feel very angry. Most of all he feel envious. He feel like Hakimi want to take his best friend. That is the problem. Why he think Hakimi want to take his best friend? It doesn't make sense at all. Hakimi is his best friend. All this times he only close to Hakimi. Is he going insane? His emotions like a roller coaster. He didn't understand it at all.

Right now at this time he only want to cry. On a second thought maybe screaming is a better idea than crying.

Udin sit at his study desk thinking hard. He just come back from Hakimi house. They've been lecture by Hakimi mother's. She didn't believe he's been possessed. She said there's no such thing. As a punishment they need to read one book and write a summary. Beside that they need to write 1000 sentences. They will not quarrelled again and settle any argument as civilised human beings. His hands feel numb after writing that much. It's not only at school they get punishment like that. There's nothing strange about it though, Hakimi's mother is a teacher. She teach at primary school at their village.

Sitting at his study desk he keep thinking the incident that happened a while ago. How their plan to discuss about his situation turn bad. He feel guilty he didn't even remember he strangle Hakimi. The last thing that he remember was looking intently at Hakimi trying to form sentences to tell him his strange experience. What he didn't tell Hakimi was he did feel sick at that moment. Every time he want to speak he feel nauseas to the point he want to vomit. How is he going to solve this problem if he can't tell anyone about it in detail. Now that Hakimi's mother don't believe them. Maybe most of the other adult don't believe them too.

While thinking he put his head on the desk and fall asleep. He feel so exhausted.

"Where is Udin?" Is he skipping dinner?" Ask Pak Samad.

"I don't know." "He is not in his room." Reply Mak Saodah. After her maghrib prayer she look for Udin in his room to ask him to come for dinner. Usually Udin go to the mosque for maghrib prayer with his grandfather.

"Where did that boy go?"

Mak Saodah open the door and come into an empty room. Maybe he's in the gelanggang silat.

"But why go there too early?"

So here they're having dinner without Udin.

"Maybe he's at the court?" Suggest Mak Saodah.

"I don't think so." "It's dark there." Reply Pak Samad.

"Are you sure he's not in his room?" Asked Pak Samad again.

"Remember before?"

"How can I forget about it." Mak Saodah started to feel uneasy.

Around one year after living with his grandparents there's something happened to him a few times.

At that time Pak Samad still working as a government servant.

"Are you sure he's not in the house Odah?"

"Yes, I'm sure about it." "Last I check he's in his room playing with his toys." Answer Mak Saodah panicked. "When I call him for lunch he didn't answer it." When I look in his room, he's not there." " I check the entire house too." "He is not here."

"Calm down Odah maybe he's out side of the house." "Check again and call me after that."

Mak Saodah end the call and start the search again.

"Udin! Udin! Call Mak Saodah at the window in the living room.

No one answer her call. So she go to the kitchen. After that she went to their bedroom and open the cupboard. She hope Udin hiding inside it. When she open it only clothes hanging in there. Feeling frustrated she went to his room again. When she open the door, she saw Udin laying on the floor sleeping.

She's so shocked the only thing that she said only praises to Allah.

She call Pak Samad again to tell him the news.

It's happen a few times. She was sure he's not in the house.

Pak Samad finish his food and wash his hands. He goes to Udin's bedroom. When he open the door he saw Udin sleeping. His head on the desk. "Udin! Udin! Wake up." Pak Samad touch his shoulder to wake him up because he didn't react to his voice. Slowly Udin raise his head and look at Pak Samad.

"Are you here all the time?" Asked Pak Samad.

"What with the question Tok?" "Of course, I'm here." "I fall asleep here." Reply Udin still drowsy.

"Why Atok didn't wake me up."

"She said you are not in your room."

"That's strange I was here since I get back from Hakimi house." Explained Udin.

"I see, so that the case."

"Hurry up go take your bath now and solat." "After that go eat your dinner."

Udin wonder why his grandmother said that. He greeted her when arrived earlier.

During dinner Mak Saodah accompanies him. She keep staring at Udin.

"Why?" Udin asked. Mak Saodah just shook her head. Nothing she said.
