26. Ustadz Mustafa's

After undergoing walking therapy, Bayan brought Mustafa ustadz to the hospital park at the request of the ustadz. When Bayan offered to go to the cafeteria so that Mustafa ustadz could enjoy a snack while telling a lot of things, the ustadz refused. And that makes Bayan even more curious.

Eventually Bayan gave up. He chose to leave Ustadz Mustafa for a moment in the park to buy food and soft drinks. When she returned, she smiled and saw Mustafa lying asleep in a wheelchair.

"What the hell is it. Why Ustadz Mustafa had to lie to his son and his nurse if he could talk" Bayan said.

Knowing Bayan back, Mustafa Ustadz opened his eyes. Bayan handed a glass of warm sweet tea to Mustafa. Bayan also placed a box of doughnuts on Mustafa's ustadz lap.

"Thank you Bayan" said Ustadz Mustafa sincerely.

"Sama-sama Ustadz" Bayan said with a smile.

After Mustafa ustadz sipped a warm sweet tea and looked comfortable, Bayan also ventured to ask about the action of silence the ustadz.

Bayan's question made Mustafa Austadz smile. He explained that the accident that hit him was a fabrication deliberately done by an official.

"How does engineering mean Ustadz?" ask Bayan not understand.

"I know the secret of an official. You know too much. So to silence me, the accident was made. The goal is only one, yes so that I die until the rotten secret is not revealed to the surface. But the Owner of Life is God determines another. I am alive even though my feet are deformed. I deliberately pretended to be mute and lost the ability to speak just to calm him down for a while" Mustafa said half-whispering.

"Is this some sort of Ustadz strategy ?" ask Bayan.

"Rubber. I just want to trick him. I just hope and always pray that he realizes that money is not everything. If he thinks he can buy God's destiny, then he's wrong. And when the time comes, he must have lost everything" Mustafa said with a meaningful smile.

Actually Bayan was curious who the official person in question ustadz Mustafa. But because he did not want to interfere with the personal affairs of the ustadz, Bayan also shifted the topic of their conversation. Bayan asked what Ustadz Mustafa had meant the night he visited the ustadz's house.

Before answering Bayan's question, Ustadz Mustafa seemed to take a deep breath. Then he sipped another sweet tea in his glass. Afterwards the ustadz just answered Bayan's question.

It turns out that before Bayan came to his house, Mustafa ustadz had also been given a signal or omen through a dream. In the dream Ustadz Mustafa seems to be taken to the past, a time that has been tried to be forgotten by Mustafa ustadz. Exactly ten years ago when Karto came to her for help.

When he heard Karto's story about the kuyang that drizzled into the body of his biological daughter, Dusk, Mustafa ustadz to gape in disbelief. At that time Ustadz Mustafa even asked Karto to come home because he felt Karto's story was just a joke or a kind of fairy tale before going to bed.

"It's scary but it sounds funny" Mustafa said.

But after Karto told everything from beginning to end, including his marriage to his birth mother, Rusti, Mustafa Ustadz believed. Moreover, Karto also said if he recognized his wife's head while floating into my ghost. And what makes ustadz Mustafa more believe is because Karto also said to see the body of Rusti who sat headless in their house on the same night after Karto saw my ghost.

Bayan looked messed up at the time. His eyes were blank, his mind was disturbed. Ustadz Mustafa understands why Bayan is like that. Not only him, but everyone who knew Bayan knew how much Bayan loved Dusk. Ustadz Mustafa therefore advises Bayan to leave his memorial house with Dusk so that Bayan can move on.

After Bayan left, Mustafa lost track. She heard back the news about Bayan when the man invited her to attend his wedding to Anna four years ago. At that time Bayan changed his call from 'Kyai Mustafa' to 'Ustadz Mustafa' for personal reasons. Ustadz Mustafa did not mind at all because he felt it was just a call Bayan pinned for him.

But at the same time Mustafa ustadz also received the sad news that Karto died of illness two years earlier.

"Pak Karto must be happy to see you married a good woman like Anna Mas Bayan. Maybe all this time Mr. Karto was also sad and felt guilty for seeing you sad. And what was painful was that sadness because of the death of his Son. I know Mr. Karto loves you sincerely, so he always hopes that you can find your happiness just like when you were with Dusk," Mustafa said.

Ustadz Mustafa's remarks moved Bayan. Even Ustadz Mustafa saw both of Bayan's eyes glazed over.

After the dream ended, Mustafa Ustadz woke up in a state of body flooded with sweat. Ustadz Mustafa shook his head to expel the returning memories of Bayan and Dusk.

That night, after a long time forgetting Dusk, somehow ustadz Mustafa again remembered the figure of Dusk.

Dusk is a beautiful, friendly, humble and well mannered woman. That was the first impression captured Mustafa.

While remembering Dusk, Mustafa suddenly saw a black shadow flashing rapidly outside the room. He was surprised when he realized that the shape of the black shadow resembled a head with unraveled hair and without a body. It was then that Mustafa ustadz realized that the dream he had just experienced and the greatness of the black shadow resembling mine were interrelated.

"It turns out two days after that dream you came home. I know what you mean by coming must be related to the disembodied head ghost of Mas Bayan" said Mustadz Mustafa, who is a member of Bayan.

Then Bayan recounts what he, Rama and Riko saw during Nathan's birthday celebration at the farm. Bayan also recounted what Anna saw in their bedroom window. Ustadz Mustafa listened carefully and tried to draw conclusions from Bayan's story.

"Is there someone new around your house?" ask ustadz Mustafa.

"New people. My wife did pay a special man to babysit Nathan, Ustadz. Called Arti. She's been living with us since Anna was eight months pregnant. Why Ustadz ?" ask Bayan worriedly.

As Mustafa ustadz prepared to answer Bayan's question, it was then that the nurse came to them and asked Mustafa ustadz to follow the next therapy.

Bayan let out a long sigh because he was forced to wait patiently for Ustadz Mustafa to finish his second therapy.
