Chapter 34. Radit Explanation

"Until noon when he saw Karmila was calmer then Radit and Ayu went back into the nursery of Karmila with a box of food.

"Karmila you eat first huh," said Ayu while sitting next to Karmila's bed.

Karmila turned her head and looked at the two in surprise.

"Why haven't they left yet? Are ghosts not afraid of the sun?" inner Karmila.

"I know you must be thinking things out of us. Once again I reiterate, Ayu and I are not ghosts," Radit explained so that Karmila did not make it up again.

"Ta–pi last night I saw you with a pale face and a long tongue that almost wrapped around my body. Ayu also got her intestines out of her stomach and dangled into the ground and let out a foul smell."

"Maybe you're just hallucinating."

"No, I'm sure of what I saw last night."

Ayu looked shocked while Radit seemed to think.

"Don't he be Radit."

Radit's words suddenly shock Karmila and Ayu.

"What do you mean Radit?" tanya Ayu did not understand.

"And who are you?" karmila asked Ayu a question.

"Well, maybe it's time for me to be honest with you guys." Radit paused his words for a moment to take a deep breath and then hurled violently.

Radit knew his explanation would be difficult to understand by the two women who were by his side and it could be that they both speculated variously about Radit after hearing from him.

"Tell me the truth!" Ayu was so curious.

Radit nodded and said, "Actually I am not Radit, but Faiz."

"What do you mean?" Karmila was in disbelief.

"Don't I explain it to you at our meeting that night, but you still don't believe it."

"So you're the guy on that dark night?" Karmila immediately remembered the incident when she was lost at night when chasing someone who turned out to take her to a quiet place. Fortunately, Radit drove him home.

"No, no! It's just your story, right? Or is your name the same as my husband's?"

"I'm your fiancee Faiz, that's why I can tell what your favorite food is and I'll never force you to eat something you don't like like like the fake Faiz that's feeding you now."

Ayu and Karmila only gaped at Radit's explanation.

"Faiz being with you is actually Gugun and I was plastic-operated by him being the real Radit figure I don't know who that guy really is."

"You're writing a short story?" ask Ayu who still does not believe in the story of Radit which for him is just nonsense while Karmila is no longer able to speak.

"If you're not my Mas Radit, why do you know me and know my home address?" Ayu demanded an explanation.

"The story is long Ayu. I can't possibly tell until I get to this stage. For sure I was forced to be the son of Mr. Johan and Tidi's mother when I explained that I was not their child but Faiz, but because my face is the same as Radit they still think I'm Radit's son, and about you they tell me a lot and give me your address so I can get to this place."

Ayu looked at Radit's explanation, he did not know whether to believe or not with the story he just heard.

"If you don't believe me, I'll bring you proof."

"Yes, just a minute." Faiz stepped out of the room while the two women who were still lingering inside could only look at each other.

Fifteen minutes later, Radit returned with a woman in his hand.

"Mother?" Karmila was shocked to see Bu Lela standing at the door with her hand holding Radit's hand.

Bu Lela simply nodded with a smile. He moved closer to Karmila.

"Wait, isn't that your in-laws?" ayu asked curiously and Karmila nodded.

"Hasn't Mom been burned in the hospital?" Karmila started to get scared again.

"You're a ghost, right? The proof is that you can touch the hands of my deceased in-laws."

"Karmila, please don't parno! Didn't I explain that I'm still alive?"

"But, Ibu–" pointed Karmila towards Bu Lela with a hand that started shaking with the fear of coming back ambush.

"I ran away Mom before the fire happened. Incidentally, I brought Bu Tidi for routine control and when I saw in the room there was a mother who looked like my mother I went in and checked. It turned out to be true, in the room it was my own real mother" Radit explained at length.

"Yes Karmila, at first the mother also did not believe that this Nak Radit was Faiz, she said, even when he came home I even threw him out because he thought he was a thief who suddenly entered nyelonong into people's homes without saying goodbye especially after he claimed to be Faiz when he was Faiz was in the room, mother immediately pushed violently out."

"Mom, I'm not kidding, am I?" Karmila was confused.

"No Karmila. Forgive the wrong mother for taking the wrong step of marrying yourself to a fake Faiz so that your life is filled with this kind of fear. Ever since the terrible events in the house and the mother almost strangled by invisible creatures, the mother finally realized that Faiz was not the real son of Mother. It is impossible for the ghosts to disturb us if none of us harm him and it is impossible for the mother's son Fais to lead us to a house so dangerous for our mental health."

"What does mom mean?"

"My point is, Faiz who was with us all along was a murderer and those who haunted us all along were victims of his crimes."

"How could Mother? How could we not know Bang Faiz? if he's not Bang Faiz why can't we recognize him?"

"Not that we don't know him, but all this time we haven't heeded his strange attitude."

"And if you really are Faiz, where is my cousin Mas Radit?" Ayu who was just silent finally opened her voice again.

"I didn't know Mr. Johan and Bu Tidi were looking everywhere before he finally found me lying behind an empty house not far from his yard and he thought I was their son."

"Is it possible that Radit is dead and that last night was his spirit?" guess Karmila.

"It could be, it looks like we have to search the house to see the contents inside that we did not know so far" Radit suggested.

"No, I don't dare. I don't want the creatures that have been bothering me to grow angry" Karmila said. He better not come back to that house.

"I don't want to either, just one time the woman in the bride's dress choked my neck" said Bu Lela.

"So the one who strangled Mom wasn't that old granny?" karmila asked curiously and Bu Lela shook her head steadily.

"So everyone misunderstood?" karmila mumble.

"Where is the old grandma? I want to thank you because if it wasn't for her, she would have died at the hands of the ghost."

"I don't know either, ma'am, the last news I heard of her house fire, her body was not found. People guessed he was already charred burning like people thought the mother's body was also on fire."

Seriate.
