OXEN

Chapter 2's

Tirta and friends still felt shock and fear. Tirta tried to dive back into the lake to find Nana. But Tirta got nothing. Tirta felt very frustrated because of the loss of Nana. Somehow the feelings of father and mother later if they know Nana is drowning and disappearing, of course they will be very sad and lost. Tirta felt very guilty towards Nana. He failed to take care of his beloved sister. He failed to become a sister.

Other friends suggested that Tirta should complain this to his parents so that his parents immediately report to the authorities for a search. With a sad heart Tirta and his friends accompanied Tirta to go home and complain this to his parents Tirta.

Arriving at Tirta's house, Tirta approached his father and mother who were fretting waiting for her son who had not returned home.

"Where are you coming home at this hour? where's your sister Nana?" ask Dad to Tirta.

"I'm sorry Tirta ma'am, forgive Tirta father. Tirta is naughty, Tirta.. Tirta can't take care of Nana!" said Tirta then cried regretful for not being able to take care of his sister.

"What do you mean Tirta? don't joke, where's your twin sister Nana?" father still kept asking that Tirta answer with certainty.

Then one of Tirta's friends named Edo interrupted the conversation and said, "Nana drowned in the lake as if it were a aunt, we could not find Nana".

Hearing Edo's words made Tirta's mother unable to withstand the sadness and shock until she felt difficult to breathe and then fainted. All panicked, Tirta repeatedly apologized to his mother. The father also carried his mother to the room to be immediately given emergency help. Seeing the condition of the mother is quite improved, now it is the turn of the father who tried to stay calm and asked the chronology of the incident to Tirta and other friends.

"So, Dad, at first we were all just fishing for cork in the middle of the lake. We all got big fish. Because of the weight then we release the largest fish. But suddenly someone hit our boat upside down. We drowned, but we survived and pulled over. But we lost Nana" Tirta explained to his father.

"We've all been trying to find Nana even harder. But we didn't get results. Linda said that Nana was kidnapped by the ghost of a cow that resembles a whirlpool.I can't believe Dad's ghost. He must be waiting for me to pick him up" Tirta continued.

"Come, Dad! We have to call the police Well, let the police man look for Nana" pinta Tirta.

My father was very wise. Hearing his son's explanation he was not immediately angry with Tirta. But instead he tried to calm the feelings of Tirta who lost his sister.

"Calm down, Tirta, I'll report to the SAR team. SAR team will definitely find Nana. aamiin" said father comforting Tirta.

"father promise yes" said Tirta. The father just nodded and smiled at Tirta.

Then the father immediately reported the incident to the police and SAR team. The plan tonight is also that the SAR team will immediately make a lake intrusion to find Nana both alive and dead. While Dad, Tirta and his friends wait for the good news on the lake. They hope God will save Nana.

Linda approached Tirta who was agitated waiting for Nana's search results, trying to say something to Tirta.

"Tirta, if the SAR team has not been able to find Nana as well. I think it's true that Nana was kidnapped by an ox. The proof is that none of the things Nana uses float in the water. If Nana was kidnapped by an ox, we have to look for her with supernatural powers as well" Linda said.

"you are linda. indeed you know from where about the occult.you are the same as us, both small children and timid" said Tirta.

"Yes, Lin! Where do you know the ghost of the cow? Don't-don't you just make it up" Dimas said.

"Well then after the SAR team reports the news, I'll take Dad to meet your parents. Who knows my father can understand what is meant by your parents" said Tirta.

It has been almost 2 hours tracing the lake setu cikaret, but there has been no good news from the SAR Team. The father was beginning to fidget, fearing that his daughter could not be found. He's not ready to cut it. Moreover, let alone in a state of life, even the body has not been found. So there's still a possibility that Nana's still alive. Either Nana was stranded on the edge of the lake and was found by people and cared for by people who found it. My father always tried to think positively.

5 Hours of searching passed. The SAR team decided to stop the search because it was very dark and will resume it again tomorrow morning. Tirta who wanted to know the development then asked her father.

"How are you from the SAR team?" ask Tirta.

"Nana has not been found. Tomorrow we'll continue to look for Nana. You pray a lot for your sister, son" said the father, stroking Tirta's head.

"What if Nana was really kidnapped by Daddy's cow? Are you gonna do anything to get Nana back?" ask Tirta.

"Of course, son. I will do anything even if I have to fight ghosts" replied the father.

"Then tomorrow I have to go with you and meet Linda's parents" Pinta Tirta. Then he answered with a nod to his father's head.

It's late at night. Tirta and friends went home. Tirta and her father went home and went into the bedroom to sleep. He saw his mother by his father and was still asleep in bed. Inwardly the father feels the same thing that is felt by the mother is the same feeling of loss. Unable to sleep, the father decided to drink warm tea and watch television. But while brewing tea, the father was surprised by something.

"Aaaaarrgghhhhh!" a screaming voice that was similar to the mother's voice and was heard came from the room.

Soon the father ran to the room and approached the mother. Then he saw the mother had awakened and sat down with breath panting like a nightmare.

"Are you all right, Maryam?" ask the mother by calling her name.

"Mas Andi, I'm afraid. I'm afraid of losing Nana" said the mother, crying in her father's arms.

"Swive Maryam. Everything will be fine" said the father to calm the mother.

"But I was dreaming. I dream that Nana is being chased by creepy creatures mas. She asked me for help but I couldn't help her" said the mother telling her dream.

Hearing his wife's words made the father become a little confident in the words of the children. The father decided that tomorrow he would invite the mother and Tirta to meet Linda's parents.

"Whataaa??? how could your son be kidnapped by a cow? Must have been the first children to make a mess with the ghost of the Ox!?"
