After the meeting at the school, the six teachers were together to go home, as usual Hanif and sari berboncengan as well as Mia and can while Eva and Ustadz Ghifari just walk, as usual,

Eva walked not far behind ustadz Ghifari down a rocky red dirt road surrounded by orchards owned by villagers,

On the way Eva met a mother who invited her to stop by was not happy to refuse Eva also obey the mother's request,he was invited to enter a house made of wood quite simple but very neat and clean mother went to the kitchen before long he came out carrying a glass of warm tea from the appearance he seemed to be containing 'please have Eva drunk' he said

Eva nodded 'thank you' said Eva then sipped the warm sweet tea 'sorry what would you do for help ?' ask Eva

The mother then lowered her head beside her there was a different figure of nature standing while looking at the mother, a clear moon fell to the mother's cheek she slowly grabbed Eva's hand I apologize earlier 'he looked doubtful

Eva returned the mother's hand 'if I can help, I will do ' Eva said

The mother ventured to talk 'my husband worked on a barge and had an accident all the missing crew members including my husband, were involved in,,I just arrived from the city and heard a story from my brother about Nak Eva and then I decided to return to this village' the mother set her breath that stung because it held back crying 'can I ask you to find out the state of my husband ' he continued

Eva looked inside the woman wanted to feel she said if at this time the spirit of her husband was standing right next to her but Eva again thought for what to tell it was not better if the mother did not know the situation the suminya at least there is still a little hope in the heart for her husband to return home safe 'I apologize ' said Eva while looking down she then grabbed her bag and immediately left the place 'eva's son tried to stop Eva from leaving and wanted to help her

Eva looked at the mother with her side figure 'what should I do, what should I do,what I'm saying is that her husband is dead but what if that's not what her late husband wants just like the Narti family who don't want the truth revealed to protect something more important and certainly still alive' Eva said in her heart she was worried about what path she should take

'please son Eva, help me 'the weeping with sobs that finally come out too

Eva put away the mother's hand that was tightly grasping her arm 'I did not see the mother's husband in this house ' Eva said as she passed away leaving the woman who was crying

Whether what she felt , a feeling of relief or even a feeling of despair for what happened to her at this time but at least there is hope from the words Eva earlier maybe her husband is still alive somewhere.

Eva walked a little run hoping the mother didn't try to catch up to her,

arriving at home kai Burhan Eva said his greetings when he would enter the house 'assalamualaikum' he said kai and Nini apparently the arrival of guests face very familiar face there is Hanif sari ustadz Ghifari and of course the doctor ikhsan, Ikhsan,

the man smilingly looked at Eva who was speechless frozen on the doorstep in disbelief at what she saw

'waalaikumsallam' everyone replied 'doctor ikhsan ' Eva said

He was a little moved to see the doctor ikhsan with a healthy condition Eva had long thought about how the condition of the doctor ikhsan after the incident and it turned out that his benefits were realized that the handsome man was good' only and it seems he is not traumatized to return to this village.

Ustadz Ghifari looked in wonder at Eva and ikhsan who turned out to know each other while there were a pair of eyes that radiated jealousy at the situation.

Ikhsan only chuckles at the enthusiastic Eva not like the quiet one dong question ' Eva flushed her face in embarrassment while Nini and Kai could only come laughing to see Eva who was not what she used to be today

'okay I will answer, the new arrival, Alhamdulillah good news so far I am in the city of work in the public health as well,but after I heard this village is safe again I decided to come back here again to finish my long-overdue task and I happened to meet kai a few days ago and I know you are back this village is also so I ask to be moved here immediately ikhsan explained

'alhamdulillah if the doctor is good' aja' said Eva

'trus you also how are you' ikhsan asked back

When Eva was about to answer but lost quickly by kai 'already next time the reunion is soon Dzuhur let's pray first' ustadz,sari kai and Nini laughed differently from Eva and ikhsan who looked embarrassed while Hanif actually looked sour from earlier.

Dzuhur ustadz Ghifari prayer and doctor ikhsan returned to the house of Amang Anwar as the first resident of ustadz allowed the ikhsan doctor to enter the house 'please doctor' he said

Then ustadz Ghifari took the doctor around and handed him a slightly larger room for the doctor to occupy

'this is the doctor's room, ' said Ustadz Ghifari

'this is whose house is ustadz ?' ask doctor ikhsan 'it seems not ustadz house' he continued

'yes, this is Amang Anwar's house replied Ghifari's ustadz but this house has long been empty and I was told to temporarily occupy it

'where who owns this house go ustadz ' doctor ikhsan wondered why the house is still complete with furniture is left just like that

'Say They live in the city, that's all I know' both fell silent and returned to their rooms after there was no more material to talk about

✓✓✓✓

It did not feel like it was night if Ghifari had just returned from the mosque after praying Isya while the doctor ikhsan apparently fell asleep in his room 'assalamualaikum' said ustadz Ghifari but there was no answer then he headed to the doctor's room ikhsan turns out the young doctor was asleep with his sleep 'ooo has just slept just want to be told if there is a greeting introduction for new residents' finished speaking ustadz Ghifari to his room and prepare to rest.

The wall clock shows at 1 am the doctor ikhsan woke up when he heard a sound in the guest room, his eyes were still narrowed to sharpen the view of the clock on his phone 'hour one' he said 'ngapain ustadz Ghifari noisy clock' he again lay back and pulled the blanket to cut his body from the cold of the night as he tilted his body turned out to be a terrible figure also lying next to him a headless figure and covered in blood facing the doctor ikhsan

The young doctor was shocked and immediately jumped from the bed to fall and made him unconscious until morning arrived.
