                Chireen is the girl who worked at the accessories store as her part time job during her college. She did that job because her friend would have a birthday three months left but she had no money to give some gifts. Jamet is the most valuable friend ever as Chireen’s perspective, so she took the time to work to earn money. Chireen was not paid daily, but he got a monthly salary which she got 17k per day. She had earned money for about 500k which 350k for present, 100k for birthday cake and 50k for flower. That's how he planned when that day came.

                That day was quite tiring for Chireen where she had to do all her assignment than she should do her part time job. After having all, she decided to go down to the riverbank to relax his mind and charge the energy. She assumed that seeing the water flow could be healing anything that hits her mind. While whistling, Chireen dropped her gaze to the left of the river side, she saw a woman in black smiled and looked at Chireen. Than she also smiled back at the woman. An hour passed, she approached the motorcycle, getting starter the motorbike than he left the river. On the way, she dropped to the mini market and bought some snack and some food for dinner.

                Arriving at home, she got her body clean and started to get dinner. Directly, Chireen dropped her body on the bed and the intention to do the task has been lost because of fatigue all day working and taking care of college needs. At 05.00 am, Chireen woke up nervously and his chest felt tight. Surprisingly, she found the red sign at her chest like a hand that stick at his chest. Immediately, she felt anxious about what happened with that. The day after the accident, she heard tat there was something who scratched the wall when she wanted to sleep, she thought that it was cat. Yet, Chireen realized that the sound was from inside. But she decided to ignore it. Second day after the accident, she heard some sounds from ventilation like someone whistle at her. It made her thought “which humans whistle at 3 pm?” once again, she tried to ignore it then started to sleep. Fifth day after accident, Chireen was lazy to pray, she didn’t have desire to do her tasks, she had no mood for eating and she preferred laying on the bed with the lamp off all day long. The day 21, Chireen dreamed she was invited to the river by a woman in black and he said "come with me, come with me". When Chireen wake up, he got her body wet with sweat, getting tiring and like carrying a heavy burden. The strange thing here that she had lice in his hair even she did not know where the lice came from.

Day 22 after accident, Jamet dropped in her house to borrow a book. Casually she said “wow, you have a new girl friend? until she looks very comfortable on your shoulder”. Chireen was surprised to hear that and ask Jamet for an explanation of what she saw in her. Then Jamet ask Chireen, “did ever go to river?”. Chireen initially denied the question, but in the end she said yes. Jamet had already guessed that "Gamang" was a woman in black who gave a smile to Chireen in the river at that time. Then Jamet give suggestion to Chireen to do a midnight praying, recite ruqyah prayers, taking ablution before sleeping. Jamet also give some tips to drink the water which had been blown with the ruqyah verse.

One full month of Chireen did the ritual as Jamet recommendation. Day 51, Chireen had a dream where she heard the “Gamang” screaming in her ears "don't burn me, I still want to be with you, please don't burn me aaarrgh". Instantaneously, Chireen woke up and cry because that was so scary. But one thing that made her realized that the shoulder which he usually feels heavy now becomes light. Than Chireen’s life ran greatly like a should. The most important thing that She realized that getting closer to God is the best solution ever. No matter how big the problem is, no matter how tired we are, God is the most perfect place to pit.
