Inner Contact

Zein who was chatting with the others suddenly felt an inner contact with Satya.

Zein got up and stepped outside towards the pavilion terrace. He closed his eyes while imagining the atmosphere. However, neither did he manage to find Satya.

His hand moved taking the phone out of his pants pocket, tapping the screen twice to turn the phone on. Sliding fingers looking for Satya's contact number.

"Yes, Bang?" ask Satya from across the street.

"So call?" Zein asked back.

"Yes. There's a new problem." Then Satya began to recount the events that had just happened.

Zein listened while massaging the suddenly dizzy temple. Rima's problem has not been resolved but now a new problem arises.

Triska and Ivan, who had been eavesdropping on Zein and Satya, looked at each other.

After Zein hung up the phone, they rushed over and sat to the right and left of Zein on the steps of the terrace.

"So there are two ghosts?" ask Ivan.

"Satya said so, "" replied Zein.

"Hm. Means that the nongol in my dream three times is a new ghost," Ivan muttered as he stroked his newly grown beard.

"the dream? How come you never told me?" search Triska.

"I guess it's just a dream, too. Not because of a new ghost" said Ivan.

"Ehh, but the one that night was disturbing above the sunbathing place was Rima. Satya said that, "he continued.

"The name's a ghost, too, Van. It can resemble anyone" Zein said.

Yusran, who slept that night in Rima's former room, was still standing by the window. His eyes looked at the pavilion which was only a few meters away from where he stood.

He had intended to join Rima's friends. However, due to fatigue in the body he finally undoes his intentions.

His gaze was bright considering the figure of the brother who was cheerful and spoiled. He who often went out of town eventually became rarely met with Rima.

That was what was once the subject of his debate with Rima, a few days before the wedding.

"Aa' that's it! Promise of mulu!" rima's sulk from across the phone.

"Sorry atuh. Aa' is just an officer. Must obey the boss," said Yusran with a smile. Although he knew Rima could not see his smile but he did not care.

Chatting with his sister always made him miss wanting to meet. The bond between the three of them was indeed very strong. Sometimes he also felt when Fahmi was having problems.

"Not to know. Anyway, the day before the wedding event Aa' already have to stand by at home!" rima's orders.

"Ready, Ndoro Putri," ledek Yusran.

Momentary silence. Shortly afterwards, Rima's laughter was heard.

The laughter turned out to be the last laugh of his beloved sister.

Yusran once again cursed himself. Even when Rima's request to attend early could not be fulfilled.

His extraordinary busyness made him arrive just a few minutes before the marriage contract began.

Delikan Rima's eyes that were already sitting next to Irwan, making Yusran can only smile widely.

The pinch of Siska on his left arm was forced to accept because he arrived late. Then all eyes focused on seeing the two brides who were listening to the wedding sermon seriously.

Suddenly the atmosphere became violent as the shouts of the guests were shocked to see some people from the group carrying various sharp weapons.

Suddenly a white man pushed Irwan's body, while making harsh words in an incomprehensible language.

Yusran too late realized when the man moved to pull the knife from inside the leather jacket he was wearing. In a matter of seconds suddenly Rima had moved forward and became the man's shield.

The knife thrust directly into Rima's stomach along with the screams of her sister who held the stomach.

Fresh blood immediately flowed from Rima's clothes which immediately changed color from champaka to blood red.

The narrow-eyed man screamed and pulled Rima's body into his arms. However, his movements came to a halt as his arms were pulled by several men who followed him.

They rushed to the car and immediately gasp away from the place.

Irwan quickly lifted Rima's body and carried her to the car. Kang Fahmi drove the car to the nearest hospital.

Yusran runs into his car followed by his father and mother. Siska was immediately unconscious. His sister-in-law who was pregnant at that time immediately carried the cousins into the house.

No one intended to pursue the perpetrators because they were in shock due to the events earlier.

Arriving at the hospital, Rima was treated quickly. The condition of his body is very drop makes the doctor who handles not too optimistic.

Puncture in the stomach inflicts severe damage in the organs in the body of Rima.

Once considered to be quite stable condition, Rima was transferred to the vvip treatment room.

The marriage contract is still carried out in a full atmosphere in the morning. Rima's deathly pale face looked happy as Irwan paired the ring to his ring finger.

A gentle kiss on his forehead and two cheeks made Rima cry. The warm embrace of the two bridal couples made all present unable to hold back their cries.

After the guests who were Uwa and Uncle and Aunt in their extended family came home, Irwan asked for time to talk to Rima together.

An hour later Irwan exited the treatment room and sat languidly in a chair next to Yusran on the terrace.

"It looks like Rima won't survive, A'" Irwan said.

"Why is that?" ask Yusran.

"So he said goodbye to me" replied Irwan. Clear threads flowed out from both of his eyes that looked tired.

Yusran embraced his sister-in-law's shoulder with mixed feelings.

Mom's scream call from inside the room a few hours later made everyone on the terrace run in.

The atmosphere turned silent and gripping as the team of doctors rushed to take various actions to save Rima's life. However, everything failed.

The sobs and screams of all the people were unpretentious in the room.

Irwan hugged his wife's lifeless body and roared hysterically. Yusran and Fahmi try to calm Rima's husband. Even though they are just as beaten.

Yusran's tears flooded the cheeks. He rubbed it quickly as he looked at Ayu who was standing at the end of the pavilion terrace.

Yusran opened a large window connecting Rima's room and pavilion as he saw Ayu walking over to her.

The tall man steps out of the room and meets Ayu, right under the red guava tree that houses Rima's room.

"A', why?" ask Ayu. He felt pity seeing the man whose face resembled Rima was teary-eyed.

"Ehm ... was suddenly remembered the same Rima," Yusran replied with a smile, embarrassed to have been caught crying.
