Legacies
Mr. Ko

"Grandfather, where are we really going?"

"There's grandpa's friend, he's a smart guy. He likes to heal people who are possessed and can see subtle creatures. Grandpa asked you to get cleaned up so you're like a normal kid."

"Well! Eka's normal grandfather and Eka's not possessed."

"Yes, grandpa knows. Normal is that you don't see any more subtle creatures."

"They are not alive and have never asked to see. The late Mbah kung said it was derivative."

"Eka, grandfather sees you can and often is disturbed to feel worried. You're afraid you're okay."

"Yes the cake. Eka come along."

Not how long they arrived. And welcomed outside the home.

This is a shaman not a smart man. Eka was deep in his heart.

"How are you?"

"Good Ko. I brought my granddaughter."

"Yes, I already know. There are many near your grandson. And they're all evil."

"Yes, please banish them so that they do not approach my grandchildren and do not disturb our family."

"It's expensive loh. Because I have to throw one at a time and can't be careless."

Eka is upset with her grandfather. It turned out that his grandfather was into a shaman and Eka knew the shaman was just bragging.

Eka was silent, Eka looked at the shaman.

Suddenly inside the shaman's house there was a noise.

"What sound is Ko? How does it look like something broke and smelled of gini?"

"A little while, I go inside first."

Grandpa's friend called Ko went inside the house. Not long out of the house while running.

"Hey, who are you! What are you doing in my house?" Grandfather's friend pointed at Eka furiously.

"My grandfather has been fooled by you! You're not a smart man but you're a shaman. You use people to make money!"

"You little boy knows what! Silence you!"

"You witch doctors, many people have died because of your actions! Don't blame me if now they're suing you for it."

"Eka! You don't carelessly talk. Mr. Ko is not what you thought!"

Grandpa scolded Eka.

"Grandfather, grandfather wants to see proof that he's bad with people! He will vomit and from his vomit it will come out all the things that he has been wearing to hook people. Look grandpa. Looky!"

"You little boy. You're being rude!"

Suddenly Mr. Ko coughed and vomited. From his vomit came out black blood, razor blades, nails, shard, centipedes, leeches.

Grandpa was shocked and surprised. What Eka said was true.

"If you want to be alive, you have to apologize to all the victims. You killed them."

"It's not me who wants them to die but the people who come with me and ask me for help!"

Mr. Ko's wife is out of the house.

"Sir, astaghfirullah. Istighfar sir. Mbak's right. You've been mean to those people all along. He does work that God does not desire."

"Shut up! You all this time can eat good, can go for a walk, can buy this is money from where? From the people who came here to ask for my help. They did that mostly out of heartache!"

"Mom, can you please buy coconut water ijo, in front of the road there I see someone selling. So that the mother's husband does not constantly spit out all the things that he has done."

"Yes, just a minute."

Mr. Ko's wife went inside and a child of Eka's age came out of the house and ran to buy an ijo head.

"Mother, ask for garlic?"

"Oh yes, mbak."

Not long after Pak Ko children come and give coconut water ijo to Eka.

Mr. Ko's wife came out to take the onion that Eka meant.

"What is this mbak?"

"Yes ma'am, right."

"Sir, if you want to promise yourself and especially to God not to do evil again, you can be healed and all the victims of the father must come to his grave and apologize.'

"Yes I promise but how can I go to their graves."

"With the power and guidance of Allah SWT you will know. It is eaten onion and drunk coconut water.

Pak Ko directly ate the onion lanang and drank the coconut water given by Eka.

Gradually Mr. Ko did not vomit anymore and he sat up leaning on the chair.

"Grandfather, Mr. Ko is fine. We go home now. There are schoolwork not yet done."

"Yes Eka. Ko, I'm saying go home. Next time don't be like this."

"Yes, be careful on the road. And thank you for saving me."

"God saved you Ko through my grandson. Expand prayer, diligent prayer and tahajud. Ko Fasting."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Mr. Thank you for bringing my husband to life. I hope my husband doesn't do it anymore."

"Sama-sama mom. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

Eka and grandpa left Mr. Ko's house.

"Eka, grandpa's sorry. Grandpa trusts her too much. Until grandfather doesn't think again."

"Ngga papa grandpa. Eka knows Grandpa doesn't want Eka like this. Grandpa wants Eka to be ordinary and live naturally like other people. If you can ask, Eka actually does not want to. But the more here Eka realized that maybe this is the way of Eka's life that Eka should go through not to boast, more to help others."

"Yes Eka. Grandfather realized, you're not like this because you asked for but you get a gift that you have to use to help people."

"Sir, later if we pass the mosque or mosque we stop, soon maghrib. When the house gets scared it's not an abomination."

"Yes sir."

They stopped at a mushola and prayed magrib.

"Grandfather, I want to say something."

"What?"

"Tomorrow to go home from school I can't make the pilgrimage to the graves of my mother and sister."

"We're going on a Saturday pilgrimage with your father, grandmother and aunt. And tomorrow as if you were going home alone. Because tomorrow grandpa has to get out of town."

"Yes cake, no papa. After all, Eka does not actually need to shuttle the cake. I can take public transport."

"Don't pick up unless tomorrow you're not picked up but you'll be delivered later with grandpa."

They're home. When Eka got out of the car. Eka saw Siska standing up.

"Grandfather come in first. I still want to be on the porch."

Eka sat on the terrace. Grandpa's driver was cleaning the car.

"Eka, you really want to help me, right?"

"Yes Siska, I'll help you. But now my mother can't stay long because my schoolwork is a lot. We'll meet at school tomorrow. How's it?"

"Yes Eka, thank you."

"Yes together."
