BUNCHES

CHAPTER 12

Cici brought Oneng and Mira to one of the restaurants not far from his residence. The beautiful, safe and peaceful housing that now haunts Cici and his beloved daughter since Akmal was declared missing.

Already the second day Akmal was declared missing, but there has been no sign of anything in the search for the police and SAR Team who are still looking for the whereabouts of Cici's husband in the area turned nine.

Cici contacted Cardo, to catch up with him at the Padang Restaurant located not far from the residential area. Of course, as fast as lightning his nephew followed Cici using a motor matic owned, to the restaurant Pak Nurdin located in the Marpoyan area of Pekanbaru.

Cici who still looked like a person who had lost strength, greeted Cardo with a very loud sobbing.

Cardo hugged her best brother, gently rubbing Cici's back, in order to calm down in the face of all the events that made no sense to their family.

"Kok I didn't see where you were, brother? Wh why? What's going on at home?"

Cardo brought Cici sitting who had been in the VIP room to close her fear.

Mira was excited again, when her stomach felt full, because Oneng feed the food very painstakingly.

Cici and Akmal's beloved daughter is busy playing on the floor of the room, with some toys in her tiny hands.

"No, I don't know, Do! Brother's been haunted by a beautiful woman ever since we came home from the turn nine. Actually from the beginning before Abang Akmal departed, Brother had felt something strange, even very obstructive in the heart of brother," Cici told him everything he had experienced.

Cardo frowned, between believing and disbelief, but she recalled the rumors of a smooth nine-turned-loop sounding out there.

"Sister, this is just a coincidence. Later that night I'm with sister at home, because Nisa's staying at her parents' house. I still can't believe it, because to me it's just a rumor. Not real, maybe sister's just tired."

Cardo can only comfort Cici, although actually in her head there is a sense of fear that is very extraordinary since she came home from the turn of nine accompanied Cici to find Akmal's whereabouts.

Cici fell silent, she contacted Luqman, asking about the development of the nine-turn area.

Sure enough, Luqman and Dean have not been able to find the whereabouts of Akmal who is still in search of the SAR Team.

"So how, Bang?"-Cici.

"Well, we do the search first. You calm down, maybe you come home at 22:00, because we're still on the riverbank, but you get nothing. You rest, take care of Mira. Don't let him be alone. Since some say here, Akmal was taken by the Bunian creature." - Luqman.

Hearing that statement, Cici's head is getting raging, Bunian? What does that mean for Bunian? What kind of creature is that?

"Where it is, Bang! How should cici? It's been two days brother is gone, cook nothing looks? Ask the people there, Bang! How did Cici get into their world? Cici doesn't want to lose Brother Akmal!" his cry broke again, with his head down holding the phone he still placed in his right ear that looked more fragile.

Cardo rushed to get the phone from Cici's hand, continuing their conversation to look calm and be able to calm Cici down.

"Yes, Bang. Tonight I am friends with Brother. Hope all can be found. Do not pass the ninth day, for it will be declared dead and lost forever" - Cardo.

What if Bang Akmal is not found? What should Kak Cici do, if Abang is really declared missing or even dead? Aaaagh....

Cici ate the food in front of him very greedily. On his head only Akmal's face was smelled greedily by a bad woman with blood splattered on her husband's face. Is that something that invisible creature?

They spent time at home eating Pak Nurdin until 19:00 local time. Cardo brought Cici and Mira to return to her residence, because she saw Mira looked exhausted because she was busy playing in the restaurant area of Padang restaurant.

Some of the servants, who heard their talk, only told Cici, "Jan takuik Uni, kok Uni indak husband basobok, Uni could turn out to be mistaken while looking for a caretaker in front of him. Biasonyo ado petunjuaknyo it." (Don't be afraid brother, if brother's husband is not found, sister can go back to nine to find a caretaker there. Usually there is a clue)

That sentence made Cici sure that her husband was still safe, 'There is nothing I should fear in this world, other than God. I need to find my husband!'s whereabouts!'

It was this incredible belief that made Cici have to get back up to pick Akmal back his arms under any circumstances, before the ninth day as Luqman said was called.

They arrived at the Cici residence, it turns out that Dony was waiting there with two Akmal office colleagues who came to give news, and asked the news of Cici's husband.

Cici got out of the car, while Oneng carried Mira, carrying Cici's favorite daughter to the main room.

"Neng, don't leave Mira huh? You just sleep in Brother's room. Ci still have guests."

Oneng nodded in understanding, doing all the orders of the employer, while Cardo was busy checking all the conditions of the area of the house that was not so big, but looked gloomy since Akmal disappeared.

Cici brought Dony into his residence, still smelling an unusual aroma, but not too ignored by them.

They just want to see Cici and Mira, make sure things stay fine.

"All good, Don. But Ci, as haunted by the existence of the woman who followed Cici, is scared. But Ci had to search for Abi Mira's whereabouts before the ninth day," Cici explained what she heard from Luqman.

Dony nodded in understanding, because of what Luqman had said, he had heard from the local youth while conducting the search on the first day.

Dony notices Cici, completely unable to accept the reality of losing her husband. Although there is a feeling of pity, but he is only Akmal's friend. It is not the family that is able to provide protection, because it is not the muhrim.

"Tonight, we'll stay here until Bang Lukman returns" Dony stared at Cardo for approval.

Cici nodded in agreement. She could not hide her tired face, and begged him to rest first, leaving Dony and his two relatives, with Cardo her nephew.

Cici entered the room, which still looked gloomy, even though it was illuminated by bright lights. He was reluctant to turn off the room lights, because he did not want the darkness of the night to make his feelings more frightened.

Cici cried all night, lamenting Akmal's departure which is still a mystery, because until now has not been found.

"Abi, where is Abi? Is it the third day? Abi does not love Ami and Mira. Go home, Bi... Don't leave Ami like this! Ami doesn't know how to find Abi. Please, for Mira's sake...! Abi.. Don't leave us."
