Ghosts
Chapter 44 - The Ghost
*** chapter 44 ***
That day Mr. Idris and his wife had just made a small party to commemorate Ana's fifth birthday. Ana looked beautiful in that sleeveless white brocade dress with that knee length. There is also a clown who fills the show in the house, according to Ana's request which was never denied by Mr. Idris because Ana is the only child.
When the party is over and the invited guests have left leaving alone for Ana who is always alone without friends. Mr. Idris and his wife often leave Ana alone with a young domestic assistant when they work as teachers at Lantern High School.
The housekeeper, whose name is Dini, instead of accompanying Ana, often leaves the child alone in the house, while she plays with her cell phone and gossips with her neighbors.
"Ana take a bath first yes want magrib," asked Idris' mother.
Ana shook her head, the little girl was still coolly scissoring the character of the pony in the birthday hat scattered on the floor.
"Ana, listen already want magrib, do not play scissors later if there is a demon passing, Ana can be injured you know," said Mr. Idris trying to scare Ana.
Ana stood up while carrying scissors, she meant that she only wanted to joke with her father when he showed her the scissors that were deliberately pointed at him.
"Let's goosebumps like gini sir, hihihi." said Ana laughing.
Unexpectedly Idris' mother came from the kitchen to hold Ana to the bathroom, but she slipped the rest of the cream cake on a paper plate hidden behind a birthday hat so that it hit Ana.
Jamb... Anan was stabbed by scissors that led to him earlier with a very deep wound.
"AaaaaaaaaaaaaA...!!!"
The screams of Miss Idris make Dini and Mr. Idris directly approach Ana and Idris' mother. Panicked Mr. Idris immediately carried Ana to the sofa and pulled the scissors from Ana's stomach.
"Quick ambulance call...!!!" yelled Mr. Idris in the morning.
"I-yes sir, yes..." Immediately contact the nearest hospital.
While the wife was in great shock, she still looked at both her hands and her body that had been accidentally exposed to Ana's blood splash. Ana's blood does not want to stop even though it has been covered by Mr. Idris. A history of hemophilia aggravates Ana's condition. His body twitched along with the blood that kept coming out from the scissor stab wound earlier. The voice of the azan magrib accompanies Ana's death which cannot survive. He died in his father's arms.
After Ana's death, Idris's mother's mental state declined and she had to stop teaching. His guilt always makes him restless and scream tat when azan magrib reverberates. I felt very uneasy and decided to quit my job.

"Sister, hi I'm Ana" said the little girl to Setta.
"Why are you still here?" setta asked with trembling body and fine hair on all the surface of her skin bristled when she saw the wound on the stomach and the blood-filled Ana dress.
"You take care of me, hihihi..." Ana giggles while running around Setta.
Setta awakens from his vision of Ana's death when he sits right on the sofa where the little girl died and holds a picture frame belonging to Ana.
"Are you okay? drink Ta," Rania offered Setta a glass of syrup water.
"Udah Ran, thank you, yes" said Setta then handed a picture frame Ana to Mr. Idris.
"Since Ana's death three years ago, my wife has been crazy for her guilt towards our daughter, but these three months actually his condition began to improve when routinely following the study after the magrib with the next door neighbor," said Mr. Idris explained.
"I'm sorry sir, I really don't know if because I'm the worst memory of Mom getting up again" Setta said regretfully.
"I don't blame you Ta, I'm also sure you don't actually want to have that kind of ability, do you?"
Setta nodded many times.
"Do you know why Ana's still around this house?" ask Mr. Idris.
"Alhamdulillah, I think Ana will blame her mother" said Mr. Idris, looking around.
"We should say goodbye, let Mr. Idris rest and calm the mother" said Ridwan.
"Alright then, thank you son, you've brought me home" said Mr. Idris.
Aryo and Jin kissed Mr. Idris' hand and quickly stepped into Ridwan's car parked outside.
Rania grabbed Setta's hand and held him as she finished shaking hands with Mr. Idris followed by Ridwan behind her.
"Are you okay, Ta?" Ridwan rebuked Setta before getting into the car while patting Setta's head while asking.
"Thank God it's okay, brother" replied Setta.
"Woi...he said want to make it home?" reprimanding Jin tightly peeked out of the car window.
"Wai, woi, wai, woi, who is polite if the negur parents," said Ridwan staring intently at Jin.
"Look Ta, hunt for magrib hunt later until home," Jin said without apologizing again to Ridwan.
"It's normal to dong if it's hot," Rania chirped glanced at Jin.
"No one wants me to sit in front of that? feel the driver of this online taxi you are all behind the passenger kayak," said Ridwan in his steering chair.
"Moving Yo, sit front!" Jin kicks Aryo's leg slowly to get out of the car and moves to the front seat with Ridwan.
"Yes I'm moving out" said Aryo.
Then the car drove to Setta's house, because Rania wanted to stay with Setta. Aryo also wanted to stay at Jin's house. This makes Ridwan's work feel light because the goal is only one now, to the house of Setta and Jin who live next door.
Arriving at Setta's house, a package was lying on his doorstep.
"Well, this is not right, the time of the package is like that, what valuables? I can report the delivery service," said Rania.
After flipping - behind the box package there is no return address and the name of the delivery service. It's just "TO NATHAN"
red on the surface of the box covered with coffee paper.
"Sister Ridwan do not go home first, I want help," said Setta immediately stop Ridwan who was about to drive his car.
