BUNCHES

CHAPTER 11

Cici forwarded the speed of his car to the residential mosque in the area of the main entrance gate. His shabby face, never even decorated after two days Akmal was declared missing.

Oneng held Mira who looked exhausted, like a possessed child, black eye bags, and his hands only grabbed the buttons of the Oneng shirt worn by his caregiver.

"Sister Ci... Mira seems to be unwell too, Neng is worried Sis."

Oneng looked at Mira's sleeping face, but tears flowed from the corner of her eyes.

The three-year-old can feel something that he can not express to the Ami, because of the limitations in speech that is still stammering.

Car halted in the mosque parking lot, Cici wore a sky blue scarf to cover her head.

His left hand gently rubbed Mira's head, "Silver go down first for a while well, Neng...! Take care of Mira, hopefully Mr. Ustadz will help us to clean the house from the negative aura."

Oneng nodded, fixing his seat so that Mira would more freely fall asleep in the arms of the excellent nanny to the little princess Akmal and Cici.

Cici met an ustadz who is commonly called Ustadz Imam, a young Ustadz who is very respected in his residential area.

Cici recounted all the strange events he experienced, until the loss of Akmal which was a tremendous surprise for Ustadz Imam.

"How many days has Akmal been missing, Ci?"

The priest was curious, because he felt compassion for Cici if it was true that Akmal could not be found or declared dead.

"It has been two days that Mr. Ustadz, Bang Luqman and Bang Dean have been searching for the existence of Bang Akmal to help the SAR Team. Do'a Abi Mira is fine, Mr. Ustadz," Cici slightly lowered his head, stemming his tears that had returned.

His concern for Cici and Mira, made the Imam willing to help Cici to see the condition of their residence. 

"We're going to Cici's now?"

Cici simply replied with a nod, with a blank look of eyes even flushed red from the powerless holding back her grief.

The priest smiled, "Relax, may the Lord open the way and restore Abi Mira safely."

The power given by the Imam, able to give peace to Cici, although in the heart there are still many doubts, because of strange events that he experienced.

They arrived at the Cici residence, which really looked gloomy. Even the Imam several times made goosebumps when coming down from the motor matic he was driving.

The priest stood in front of the terrace, watching closely, dark clouds even seemed cloudy just enveloped the area of Cici's house.

Cici rushed to open the main door wide, still smelling a fishy aroma from the direction of the house that was spreading, even looking very dark.

"Sir Ustadz, please...!"

Cici called the Imam, but the Imam still did not budge on the terrace area of the house of Cici and Akmal that does not have a fence. Still messing around.

Several times the Imam gave a tremendous goosebumps when he again heard a strange sound from a distance that would approach the residence of Cici.

Like the sound of a chariot procession, yet unable to see only felt the strange sound of it getting closer and closer.

The priest approached Cici, again he was surprised by the fishy aroma coming out of Cici's house. He abandoned his intention to enter the house, not wanting to continue neutralizing the creepy-looking Cici residence.

"Dear..!"

The priest stood beside Cici, looking at the house, slightly choking as the fishy aroma that was increasingly bursting pierced into his sense of smell.

"Yes, Mr. Ustadz..."

The priest was forced to explain honestly what he felt, so that Cici was not more disappointed.

Cici nodded in understanding, "Gini aja Mr. Ustadz, Bang Luqman do not know until when at turn nine, later tonight Cici will call his nephew, ask Cardo's friend here. Because Cici has pity on Mira, if you have to go."

The priest smiled faintly, "Yes already, just call Cici's nephew, don't leave Mira alone. Because we're afraid that little kid can still see invisible things."

Cici understood, allowing the Imam to leave his residence, without entering the house again.

Cici's feeling was getting raging, her beautiful face was getting duller, she sat on the lips of the terrace curled up after the departure of the Imam left her residence.

"What should Ci do?"

Cici cried again, when she saw Oneng and Mira get off the car.

"Sister, we'll eat first. Poor thing, sister hasn't eaten since morning. Mira also seems to lemes sis!"

Oneng held Mira who just looked at Cici with a sad look.

Cici rubbed his face rough, the feeling that was getting more and more confusing, between believing and not believing what he was experiencing, but all of this was not a dream, even real.

Akmal disappeared somewhere, at the turn of nine that really had the impression of being haunted, not even clear where her husband was at this time. Frustrated, she came back crying, right now only crying is all she can to let go of the fear, even the fear of losing Akmal.

If Akmal's body could be found, it would be something that Cici would have to accept as the destiny of his life that has been outlined by God the owner of the universe.

But for two days Akmal disappeared, there has been no sign of Akmal's whereabouts. Only her husband's black hat could be found by Sony, though Akmal's office colleague had to suffer a very serious fracture.

Cici's phone vibrated, which she placed on the steering car door.

Oneng rushed to pick up Cici's phone, giving it to the employer who was still crying.

"Yes, hello..!"-Cici.

"Sir, Assalamualaikum.!"-Cardo.

"Where's brother? How come I'm not at sister's house?"-Cardo.

"Huh....!? Brother from here, Do! Sit in front of the entrance, plan to go eat." - Cici.

"God Brother... Cardo's been back and forth twice, but there's no look of you. Cardo thinks you're with Bang Luqman!"-Cardo.

Cici looked at Oneng, her face turning increasingly frightened. How could Cardo not see those on the porch? Ustadz Imam had just left their residence.

"Do, brother from here!"- Cici.

"Sister, Cardo is now in front of the house! But brother is not there, brother where? Don't joke dong!"-Cardo.

Cici goosebumps, ending Cardo's phone which is very confusing even more frightened.

Rushing Cici locked the main door, giving orders to Oneng, to get into the car immediately.

"We're eating now! The situation is not right. Cook Cardo don't see us! Are we currently in a different world? Weird....!!"

Oneng enters the car, while Cici quickly leaves his residence to fill the middle hull, dispelling thoughts that further scare him.

Is Cardo really in front of the house? But can't see his whereabouts?
