CHAPTER 17
It makes Agnes amazed – astonished, but instinctively he also felt sad even though he did not know what the cause. Agnes' tears began to fade, inundating her two lentic-feathered eyes.
“What's up, Ma..? What the hell is going on..? Why did Mama until this afternoon just come home.?” Ask Agnes.
“Mama.. Mama got a message from Borneo. From your Papa's office.” replied Aunt Mirah.
Agnes started shaking. It must have something to do with the explanation of Theresia earlier. Agnes hunt – hurry urge her Mama, “Lantas how, Ma..? is Papa going to be here..? why is Mom crying ..? What's the message, Ma...?”
“Mu papa, Nes.. Papa's already…. It was buried a month ago.” replied Aunt Mirah.
“Hah…? Papa...?!” Agnes strangled. And the mother and the child wept at each other.
The atmosphere of haru is gripping and growing in Pandu's room. Dhamayanti came out of her room as soon as she heard the crying voice of Agnes and her Mama. Pandu explained with a sad face, Dhamayanti muttered softly, “A month ago.?”
Their bad guess about her papa Agnes became lost instantly. There are only shadows – moving shadows. There is a sense of regret in the heart of Dhamayanti who had also suspected her Papa Agnes as the owner of the black magic.
If Papa's true Agnes was buried a month ago, means Papa's Agnes had died before Agnes suffered the fate of the bitch.
Long enough Pandu tried to calm the soul shock of Aunt Mirah and Agnes. His father Pandu also entertained them, as well as Dhamayanti and his wife Om Harman who immediately came to the Pandu house upon hearing the roar of the cries of Agnes and her Mama.
Nine o'clock past twenty-three minutes, there was still the rest of the weeping that stifled Aunt Mirah's breathing. Agnes herself still occasionally shed tears, even though she can calm down.
“Clearly, meaning it's not Papa.!” murmured Agnes in a moment of silence.
“What do – words mean your word it, Nes.?” Ask Aunt Mirah
Later, Agnes recounts the arrival of Theresia. Also at first glance Agnes told me, who is Theresia.
“Theresia said, that Mama was the one who knew the black man. He has big ambitions, he is easily offended. Mama must know – men who are of such character.” Agnes.
Aunt Mirah sighed. For a while she forgot the mourning on the news of her ex-husband's death. He said with a flat expression,
“Many men – men of such character, whom Mama knows. But which one is it..? who does Theresia mean.?”
“She is in this city, Ma.” Says Agnes
Her mother became frown sharper. At that time, Pandu's father spoke up after hearing an explanation from Agnes.
“Sorry, Mrs Mirah. If possible I recommend that Mrs Mirah remember – remember anyone who has ever been in a dispute with Mrs Mirah. Maybe in the office, around your neighbor, or anywhere. From there surely Mrs Mirah can have some conclusions, who the person who was meant by Theresia.
Because in my opinion, Madam, that person must have been disappointed by Mrs Mirah in various ways. If he's not disappointed, why would he attack. The logic is that, Madam.?”
“Ya. But, maybe too many men – men that I have ever disappointed, Mr. Salim. Especially... those who intend to marry me, but I refuse.”
“Well, now from that we inventory who – anyone who has ever refused, but the person still lives in this city.” Said Mr. Salim, Pandu's father.
Pandu and Dhamayanti did not speak. Pandu seemed to give his father freedom to come to think about it. While Agnes deliberately silenced to give her Mama a chance to concentrate her memory.
