Dream - The laughter of two happy children can be heard clearly from the direction of a village road in Malaysia during the late afternoon before Maghrib. Aiman, who is 11 years old, is playing chase with his younger brother after returning from studying at the village's surau.
"Come chase me! If you're slow, I'll leave you outside the house. I'll lock the door, and you're done," said Aiman to his younger brother, Fawwaz. Fawwaz, who had a chubby body, seemed to be panting while trying to chase his older brother, who was known as the school's running champion. Feeling impossible to match his brother's speed, Fawwaz tried to persuade Aiman to stop playing chase. "Brother, just stop the chase. Dad has already told you to accompany me and not leave me behind," pleaded Fawwaz."
But Aiman had gone too far ahead that he couldn't hear. Until finally Fawwaz also arrived in front of the house gate panting.
"Turns out Aiman really proved his words by leaving his younger sibling outside by locking the house gate from the inside. 'You're so slow, Dik. Were you running or crawling earlier? Even a turtle is not this slow. You're sleeping outside now,' teased Aiman before entering the house. Aiman then reached for a glass of cold orange juice that his mother had prepared since earlier. Meanwhile, Fawwaz tiredly shook the house gate, asking to be let in."
A few moments later, Aiman, who was still indulging in the pleasure of cold orange juice, was startled. He remembered his younger sibling who was still outside. "How is my younger sibling? It's been almost 10 minutes outside. Let them come in. If they cry, it will be me who gets scolded by mom," Aiman monologued to himself.
Aiman also went out and walked towards the front gate of his house. However, when the front gate was opened, Aiman was surprised to see his younger sibling.
Fawwaz could only stand stiffly and his face looked pale. His younger brother's eyes were fixed on the banana tree across the street.
Aiman himself does not understand what his younger brother sees so seriously. He tries to 'wake up' Fawwaz. "Hey, Dik, what are you doing? Answer, are you okay? Why like this?" Aiman said as he approached Fawwaz who did not respond.
The feeling of worry began to creep up on Aiman, who gently pushed his younger brother's body. But Fawwaz did not react, his body remained still like a statue. "Fawwaz, wake up!" Aiman shouted in his brother's ear as a last attempt to awaken him, as if he was in a hypnotic state.
Running in Fear Like Seeing a Ghost
"Fawwaz was startled, and immediately took a thousand steps towards the house while starting to cry. "Mother! Mother! Mother!" Fawwaz shouted shortly after to search for his mother. Aiman, who was still outside, was confused by what had just happened."
"Cold Wind Makes You Shiver"
What makes his younger brother silent until so scared? Suddenly Aiman felt a cold wind blowing past him. The coldness was felt all the way to his head and bone marrow. Aiman's hair suddenly stood on end. Aiman felt a shiver as the cold wind blew from the direction of the banana tree that Fawwaz had just seen.
"Do not want to wait for bad things to happen, Aiman immediately goes back into the house after closing the gate door."
When entering the house, Aiman saw Fawwaz tightly hugging his mother. Meanwhile, his father was sitting next to them. The father seemed to be reading something while stroking the head of his trembling younger sibling. "Brother! Father's request is simple, but you can't do it. What kind of brother are you!" Father Aiman said angrily, "Just asking you to accompany your sibling, but you left him."
Aiman tries to defend himself, saying he only left Fawwaz for a short while. But his father remains angry and even calls Aiman a stubborn child.
"If parents speak, it should be listened to. You are indeed stubborn. You are already an adult, this is father's story so that you understand," said father advising Aiman. His father then told a story about a banana tree in front of the house that terrified Fawwaz to death."
Apparently, the village where Aiman lives is adjacent to the realm of supernatural beings. The banana tree across the street from his house is actually the entrance to their place.
Ordinary people will not be able to see it. But because Fawwaz is still young, his eyes can see the unseen world. "If you had let your younger sibling stay outside longer, how would you feel if the 'neighbor' came and kidnapped them?" Finding someone who has been kidnapped by the supernatural beings is not an easy task. From now on, be careful when joking," his father explained at length. Aiman only nodded weakly and learned a lesson from that terrifying night.
