Chapter 21's
___________
With mixed feelings, Ms. Ika finally handed a piece of paper to Fredy, which contained the address where Aunt Neni lived when Ms. Ika saw her perform the Ritual.
"Frey, Aunt is actually afraid to interfere in this matter again. You know, it's not a mess! It's related to supernatural beings, you know!" said Bu Ika while shuddering in horror.
Fredy was silent for a moment, then he gave a small smile. "I hope Auntie doesn't worry too much, I'm just asking her to help out, Tan. Hope everything goes well."
Ma'am Ika smiled a little. "Amin, aunty pray yes, Frey" he said.
Bella, Miss Ika and Mr. Setyo stared at Fredy's departure from their home page. Fredy actually went alone to the address that Miss Ika had told you about.
Mr. Setyo had wanted to take Fredy, but because Ms. Ika was not willing, so Fredy felt bad and refused Mr. Setyo's help.
Bella stared at the departure of Fredy who actually went with Felix, of course, only she could see if in fact Fredy went alone with Felix.
Bella let go of them with a heavy heart, Felix has remained a lot silent since the last few days.
Bella felt something strange had happened to her heart as Felix's attitude changed which became not as warm as before.
"Why am I afraid he won't come back? Am I really in love with her?" bella felt unwilling. He waved at Fredy's car which gradually moved away from his sight.
...👻👻👻👻👻👻👻...
Nearly 1 and a half hours Fredy drove his car, split the road and followed the GPS directions according to the route he had set before. Now he and Felix arrived at a beautiful house located not far from the city center.
Fredy looked at Felix sitting next to him. Felix only looked at the house he had once occupied with his mother.
"Are you okay?" fredy asked his twin brother.
Felix shook his head. "I'm not okay, I already remember this is the house I once lived in with Mama," he replied gloomily.
Fredy took a long breath. "We're in?" tanyanya doubt.
"Yes. We've got here. Nothing is missed" Felix said.
They both got out of the car and went to a gardener who looked to be pruning some plants that had appeared to rise with new shoots that roamed everywhere, already looking untidy.
"Excuse me, sir." said Fredy. Because only he can be seen in the eyes of ordinary people.
The middle-aged gardener turned to Fredy with a flat look. "Who, huh?" abugn.
"I'm Fredy, I happen to want to meet the owner of this house. Does the guy exist?" ask Fredy to start a conversation. He thought maybe this house had been sold by Mama Neni and was occupied by someone else. So he wanted to ask the homeowner about who and where Mama Neni's address is now, maybe they know him and know about it.
"The owner of this house, rarely comes here, Den," said the middle-aged man.
"If you may know, where's the address, huh? I really want to meet the owner of this house. Something important and urgent."
The gardener watched Fredy closely, then began to speak with a flat expression.
"I don't know the address, Den. He comes here occasionally" he replied.
Fredy took a long breath.
"It's not that easy, Bro.." said Felix, who saw Fredy's weird look.
Fredy turned to Felix and nodded his head.
"If the name of the owner of this house, you know not, huh?" fredy asked turning again to the middle-aged man.
Fredy and Felix looked at each other. It turns out that this house has not been sold by Mama Neni and there is a possibility that their Mama will visit this House someday, either time but they are sure they will come here.
"Tell me, when do you usually come to visit!" felix's quick advice.
Fredy understood and asked that to the middle-aged man.
"If that's not certain, Den. But..." The man seemed to think for a moment before continuing his sentence. "Usually Neni's mother often comes at the beginning of the month to give us a salary."
"How many people work in this house?" ask Felix again.
"I'm the same my wife, usually cleaning the house doang, Den."
"Okay, Sir. Thanks for the info, sir." Felix salutes the man while slipping the money in his hand.
"Eh, thank you, Den" said the man, when he realized Fredy gave him some red money.
"Yes, Sir. But may I ask you one more question, sir?"
"What's that?" The old man began to have a friendly and uneven face at the beginning.
Felix smiled a little because he read Fredy's mind that said the old man was matre. And who doesn't like money?
If with Fredy, Felix can only read the mind of his twin brother, can not enter the minds of others.
Meanwhile, if he is beside Bella, then he can freely read the contents of the heads of others who are certainly close to Bella.
At this time, Felix could not read the gardener's mind. She can only read other people's minds if there is Bella, and she's starting to feel the difference now.
If Bella's here, maybe she can read the gardener's mind.
Felix refocused his mind on the final question Fredy was going to ask after giving the Gardener money.
"Have you paid this month? What date is certain, sir? Because I want to meet with Neni's mother" said Fredy steadily.
The middle-aged man hesitated a bit, then he started to answer. "Maybe the day after tomorrow, the 5th. Usually we pay the 5th," he said.
Fredy smiled obliquely. "Thank you, sir," he said, walking to the car, followed by Felix.
"Prepare mentally, the day after we come back here," said Fredy who smiled meaningfully at Felix.
Felix nodded then he smiled a little.
Fredy chooses not to return to his home or to Bella's parents' house. He chose to check in at a nearby hotel, so that the day after tomorrow he could come back and meet with Mama Neni who he had never met in person in a period that was too long.
"Ma, I'll make sure to meet Mama this time," said Fredy Felix with a wry smile.
Felix knows, Fredy harbors feelings of longing for his mother. Fredy must have long missed the figure of a Mama. But, Fredy also hates the attitude and deeds done by Mama Neni.
Another thing with Felix, he doesn't miss his mom. The feeling of love and affection for Mama, has been lost and vanished, ever since she learned that Mama had pummeled her for a perverse ritual.
Fredy and Felix can't wait until the day after tomorrow, the day they get to meet the Mama after all this time.
What will you do when you meet Fredy?
And can you see Felix too?
