Home In Cemetery

Chapter 9. Differ

"Where is aunt?" ask Karmila with a sad face because she currently can not do anything. Don't go help the uncle just walk him still camp.

"Follow to the police station with uncle" replied Qori.

"Why aren't you coming?"

Qori shook his head and said, "No brother if I also come along who will look after brother here?"

"Will there be a mother? And now there's a Faiz bang here." Karmila looked at her mother-in-law as well as Faiz in turns.

Qori turned to Faiz, who was now standing beside Karmila.

"Dia–?"

Qori was shocked, he thought when he saw Faiz was just a mere hallucination or indeed the figure of the man was the spirit of Faiz who was still wandering because it was still not even seven days to leave the world. However, Qori's worry, panic, and sadness overcame her fear for a while.

"Yes Bang Faiz is still alive," explained Karmila who saw Qori looking stunned in place.

"Oh God is that really all, brother?" almost Qori did not believe it, but when he saw Faiz there was a shadow Qori then breathed a sigh of relief because he knew from people that ghosts had no shadows and also did not step on the floor.

"yes Dek you know I'm very happy today, but it turns out my happiness is only temporary because I heard the news of uncle being arrested by the police."

Qori nodded with a facial expression that was no different from Karmila, she also looked very sad.

"Then I followed you to the hospital, Brother" said Qori.

"Yes go and tell the police that I am willing and ready to testify that my uncle has been in this house since he came home from the hospital."

"Good Brother. Mas Faiz I tipped Karmila yes," Qori said to Faiz and Faiz nodded.

"Then I'll go home" said Ms. Darma. After getting a nod from Karmila, Bu Darma got up and walked towards the door.

"Thank you, Mom, for everything."

"Just like Karmila." She left the house of Karmila and Faiz.

Just as Qori was about to leave the house, Bu Lela instead chased out and called out to him. "Hi Qori where are you going?"

Qori sighed.

Didn't he know where I was going?

"To Bik police station, want to accompany uncle and want to testify that since yesterday uncle with me. We're not apart for more than 5 minutes, how could uncle have committed murder as charged?"

"I'm coming!"

"Auntie doesn't want to accompany Karmila? Pity him only two with Bang Faiz."

"Let the two of them meet again after the torpor. Maybe you want to miss or want to share stories with each other," said Bu Lela even though he was only afraid if he was in the house without any friends while Karmila himself still seemed weak.

"Alright but aunt must first permission on Karmila. If it is allowed to come, if not forced Qori go alone."

"Well Qori, you wait here, yes, I want to see Karmila first." Miss Lela went back into the room.

Qori replied with a nod and then sat down on the chair where on his desk there was still leftover food for Qori, uncle, aunt and also Bu Lela.

"Mom's carmilla go first huh!" pamit Bu Lela while standing in front of the door of Karmila's room.

"Where are you going?" tanya Karmila was surprised to see the in-laws also wanted to leave when from earlier her in-laws did not say anything when Qori left.

"You accompanied Qori, he said he didn't know the way here. He was afraid he was lost. So I better go with it."

"Well then, mother just go" said Karmila resigned. He did not want Qori to leave and did not return.

Bu Lela nodded with a smile then ran after Qori.

After the death of Bu Lela and Qori, Karmila is seen hugging Faiz's body.

"Why did your body smell change?" ask Karmila wonder.

"Nothing has changed" Faiz assured Karmila.

"What time?" Karmila seemed to remember. Even Faiz's body odor didn't change when he became a corpse, why did it change?"

"Maybe it's because I was having a torpor. So my life can be considered a second life, so there must be a change" Faiz explained.

"Maybe." Karmila didn't know what to say. Seeing that Faiz was alive, he was happy. Why should the big one have a problem with his different body odor after returning?

"Or maybe because of your pregnancy, so it could be that smells that you think used to be very fragrant now even smell like a foul odor or vice versa" Faiz explained later.

"Huh, you're right Bang. Bang Faiz has eaten?"

"Had eaten rujak."

"Can where? Buy?"

"No, no neighbors. Neighbors here are fine so I can be at home."

"That means we're not wrong choosing a house?"

"Truely, this is the right house for us to knit the future together" Faiz said, stroking Karmila's stomach.

"Oh yeah, how did Bang Faiz know I was pregnant? Mila and all the family hasn't anyone told you?" ask Karmila wonder.

"You don't know people today. Before you came home from the hospital, the news of your pregnancy was already circulating."

"Oh yeah?"

"Well, I heard it indirectly from the mouths of the mothers who gossiped earlier."

"Since when did Bang Faiz listen to the gossiping mothers. Isn't Bang Reza if there are mothers who gather there is no need to go straight and do not want to listen to gossip from them. Why are you listening now?"

"Oh that's because at first glance I heard them say your name. So there's no harm in me eavesdropping and it turns out the news they're spreading is good news."

Karmila just nodded. He believed what Faiz said.

Seriate.
