It was 1pm, Eka was still finishing her college assignment.


Beige, srek, srek.


Eka heard the sound of dried leaves being stepped on.


Don't bother me, I'm doing college.


Plok, plok, plok, plok, plok,


The sound of clapping again disturbed Eka.


Eka kept doing her job.


Charms, chippings, chippings,


The sound of chickens. Whose chicks have it? As far as I know, no one around here has a chicken farm


Sraaaakkkk, sraakkkk, sraakk


The sound of dry leaves on the broom.


I knew you were outside and would bother me. I don't care what you want, I just want to finish my college assignment!


Gubraaaakkkk


Sounded of broken branches falling.


Astaghfirullah Al-Adzim, O Allah, this is why it bothers so much outside.


Tok, tock, tock


There was a knock on Eka's window.


But Eka did not care


Geck, tok, tok...


Charms, chippings, chippings, chippy


sreeekkkk, sreeekkk, sreeekkk


The sound alternated repeatedly making Eka distracted. She opened her bedroom window and shouted.


"Hey all of you! Why disturb! Show me your faces! I'm not afraid of you! Get out of you all!"


Eka's screams made the whole house wake up and run to Eka's room.


"Eka, what's wrong with you? What's up?"


Dad approached Eka. Grandma, grandfather, aunt, mother Asih and aunt Neni went into Eka's room.


"Eka, why are the windows open? You haven't slept?" Grandpa also approached Eka.


"Sorry, sorry that Eka yelled to wake up the whole house. Eka was working on a college assignment, but from earlier there was only interference from outside. That's why I opened the window."


"Grandfather, please close the window, there's pandanus and jasmine." Ma'am Asih asked grandfather to close the window of Eka's room.


When the window is closed.


Sreeekkkk, sreeeeekkkk, sreeekkkk


Everyone in the room shouted Astagfirullah in shock


Dad pulled a gordyn cloth over the window to see what had fallen. When he opened the gordyn, he was surprised with a white face and red eyes stuck to the window glass, making him startle and fall.


"Astaghfirullah Al adzim, that's what! Astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah. Oh Allah protect us!"


"Why Abi! What's up?" Grandfather asked.


"No papa sir. Abi was shocked to see that there was a face stuck to the window. Abi should go out and look to the side."


"Grandfather come!"


"Dad, grandpa, don't come out! This house has given me a fence. They will not be able to enter the house. Better, we all pray tahajud. It's 3 in the morning."


They were getting ready to pray tahajud, Suddenly there was a knock on the door and the whole window of the house.


"Don't mind them, let's just pray."


As long as they pray the disorder is getting worse.


Praaaang, yangngggg


They just finished praying tahajud shocked because all the window glass broke. Coinciding with the broken window glass. There was dawn and all the strange activities stopped. And they continued with the dawn prayer.


"Hahahahha, our house in the same demon bomb, smashed all the windows."


Grandpa laughed back and forth after walking around the house.


Grandpa called the glassman to reassemble the broken glass.


"Grandfather, what happened last night? I woke up at 3 am sounding rowdy from grandfather's house and there was a hihihihihihi that is."


Some neighbors came to my grandfather's house and asked him the same question.


"Biasalah heheheh, someone did it."


"A shipment from someone's cake?"


"Don't know. It's just that all the window glass broke."


"Astaghfirullah how could that be? No thief would break into Grandpa's house. But me and Mr. Dwi are also the others hear sounds like kuntilanak."


"Indeed Mr Kuncoro ever heard the sound of kuntilanak?"


"Amit-amit the cake, never. It just sounds creepy to goosebumps all my hair on my back."


"Haha. Kuncoro sir could have. Pray tahajjud sir, let's not think of anything."


"Grandfather, let's help you clean up."


"Thank you so much, Mr. Arman, no. I called the handyman. Waiting for the handyman to come."


"Then it starts tonight, we'll have another patrol. We're just in case, it could be grandpa's house last night, and it'll be another house tonight."


"Yes right. Be prepared if there is a patrol tonight, at least our village will be safer."


One by one the neighbors left the grandfather's house. And Grandpa went into the house.


"Grandpa, Eka's sorry that Eka, grandfather's house is falling apart."


"Why does Eka have to apologize. Eka is not wrong. They're the wrong ones. And grandpa's gonna find out why they all attacked Grandpa's house."


"Yes, if Eka was like a normal person, maybe grandfather's house would be cool, calm, comfortable would not be disturbed by the creatures."


"Hahah, Eka, Eka, you are a normal person. Granddaughter of a very dear grandfather. Because it's your granddaughter grandpa, after your two brothers left. Your aunt is not married. And what you have right now is a blessing from God. Grandfather is sure there must be something you have to do beyond human reason. So our job today is to be a better person and never leave the prayer."


"Yes cake. Thank you." Thank you."


"Grandfather, Eka, let's have breakfast first."


"Yes my grandma."


They all gathered at the dinner table for breakfast.


"Abi, are you working today?"


"Ngga sir. Abi today permission. Abi wants to help clean up the house and check what really happened last night. Abi will come here. How's your own father?"


"Just like you. Like yesterday there was a spirit war. I don't know who won."


"We win. For the protection of God, we are not to be. But our defense is lacking, because that's later in the afternoon grandma wants to hold a study."


"Grand, how the hell! Not necessarily today all the glass is plugged in. Tomorrow we have a lecture. And maybe we're rarely alms."


"Not infrequently sir, ma'am but less alms."


"Grandpa, grandma, dad, aunt and mom. Not a matter of alms. But indeed some days on campus there are those who do not like the same Eka. Until finally yesterday Eka did not take the last class. Eka was taken to the bamboo forest behind the campus. And fortunately Eka was helped by Alvian, Chandra and Martin, and also Mbah kakung."


"Eka, wrong! The one who helped Eka was Allah SWT through Alvian, Chandra and Martin as well. Therefore multiply dhikr, do not leave the prayer."


"I mean Eka it's cake. Sorry."


"But you're going to college today, right?"


"Yes dad. There will be class at 11. At least this morning Eka can help clean up broken glass."


"Later you are delivered with the driver. Because I want to help grandpa at home."


"Eka take public transport alone no papa dad. Who knows, maybe dad or grandpa will need a car. Eka hours leave for college are rush hours, must be jammed."


"Yes already. How's it good."
