In the chilling narrative of Arip's harrowing ordeal, the experience of being possessed and repeatedly subjected to the ravishing by Mbah Sukemo becomes a central theme. Throughout their encounters with ghosts and memedi, Arip and Agung are thrust into a world where the supernatural intertwines with the physical. The culmination of these events leaves Arip feeling as though he is possessed, a sensation that no one can alleviate except through the intervention of Mbah Sukemo and his rukiyah ritual.
The question of whether Arip can recover hinges on the efficacy of Mbah Sukemo's ritual. Rukiyah, a traditional form of spiritual healing, is believed to have the power to expel malevolent spirits and restore balance to the afflicted individual. If Mbah Sukemo's rukiyah is successful, Arip stands a chance at reclaiming his sense of self and breaking free from the possession that has tormented him.
However, the journey to recovery is fraught with challenges. Arip's repeated encounters with Mbah Sukemo and the spirits suggest a deep-seated connection that may not be easily severed. The narrative leaves us pondering the resilience of the human spirit against supernatural forces and the hope that, with the right guidance and ritual, Arip can indeed find his way back to normalcy.
