Home Search Mr. Malik 1 (Illustration)

"Follow me, let's find out!" I said pulling Azzam's hand, while slipping through the back road.

"But, ." he had not been able to refuse, I pulled his hand so that there were not many reasons.

"Sstt.... Bismillah," I cried making him instantly silent.

It's really quiet around here. Unlike last night, who still seems to be wandering around. The figures of the invisible young lady, who walked without direction with her blank gaze, reached around the courtyard of the house of Bu Nuri as well. When I accidentally peeked out from the window of my room with Yumna.

From the courtyard of the house of Nuri bu, there is a high wall fence, which seems to surround the entire house building full of mystery. This barrier may also be newly built, so that his family is covered with other residents, including his neighbors as well. And not bother the family strangely.

"Where are you going?" azzam asked, still whispering with me, as we walked up, down to the wall.

"Sstttt.... We find out. What really happened to this family!" I still tread carefully.

We walked towards the back of Mr. Malik's house. There is a small door between the wall of the guardrail, which seems to be used as an access in and out of Mr. Malik's house to the former field, which is not maintained at all.

Still with a sneak, I peeked at the inside of the door a little bit.

"Be careful" Azzam warned, to which I replied only with a nod.

From the little hole, there was one muscular man standing next to the entrance into the house, which passed through the back lane. From where I stand now.

"Let's go home" Azzam continued to whisper slowly, before the man knew where we were.

"Okay, looks like we got nothing from here, too. Continue later," I replied, pulling his hand away. Back to Nuri's house.

Arriving at home, Nuri asked where we were from. But Azzam's brother immediately covered, that we were just looking for fresh air from behind the house. Which is indeed widely planted useful plants, ranging from vegetables to fruits that cool the eyes.

"It's a pity, the back of Mr. Malik's house is not used like Nuri's garden. In addition to a lot of wild plants, also litter scattered everywhere," my story a little lethargic too.

"Then anyway? Back when grandma was still there, the garden was very well maintained," Yumna explained to her past.

"Yes, even I can make a garden in the back of the house, also because I learned a lot from Grandma Kip. Now the garden itself is no longer maintained. Even a lot of obscure mounds here and there."

Hearing that, Azzam and I looked at each other. Save our minds without saying it.

" Next time, don't go there again. If Mr. Malik finds out, he will be very angry with you. My husband also got sprayed. "

"Oh yeah? Why?" my many.

"He didn't want to, someone else set foot in his garden. If you don't want to be reported by the police."

"Till it?"

"But at that time, my husband just looked at the unkempt garden. There were often guards at the gate behind him. He did not come at all, or even set foot there. But it's been reprimanded, he said my husband wants to look for it because."

"It's getting weird!" sahutku short.

"It must also be more curious," mocked brother Azzam glanced mocked at me.

"Have, don't interfere. Just enjoy your vacation here, without considering the existence of a strange family," said Ms. Nuri reminded us.

The clock shows at eight o'clock. Bu Nuri had already entered the room, while the two men also seemed to have fallen asleep to dreamland. Because this afternoon was able to help Bu Nuri clean and tidy up the yard of this house. Until it looks so tired.

"Aish..," call Yumna who has not slept yet.

"Yes?"

"Are you not asleep?"

"Yet. It's still clocking this way too. Tumben yes it was quiet, already in all sleep," said Yumna.

"Yes. Uh, know not. Last afternoon actually, I was the same brother Azzam tucked into your former home. Really guarded, but in the backyard. Not outside the fence," my story about what I saw last afternoon.

"Why yes, until the back is also guarded? It's weird for his family."

Just as our conversation began, the sound of a small stone throw in the bedroom window was heard softly by us.

'Yoke 'Tuk.... Yoke....'

"What's that sound?" I looked at each other with Yumna.

"Let's see, let's see."

The shutters opened, but no one was seen in front of him.

"Well, there's no one" said Yumna.

"Yes, now it's quiet. Yesterday still seen wandering female figure with a directionless gaze passing by. Now where are they all going?"

"Remember said Miss Nuri, do not interfere with the family. At night, girls are forbidden to roam. Abduction season," Yumna said.

"Remember anyway. Yes, we'll check in the morning" I said to go back to my bed.

"Tomorrow is also not bo..," said Yumna cut off, as she was about to close the window again.

'Aaaaaaargh.......'

Although not too loud, but we both heard the screams of women from the direction of Mr. Malik's house.

"I can't just shut up. I'm going there!" my Sahut stood up again, holding the device as a backup lighting outside tonight.

"Wait, I'll accompany you. Because you don't know this place" said Yumna.

Steady walking, still in the darkness of the night with the full moon as its light. We both started to circle this place. Looking for a gap, where is the safest entrance into it. Until there was a soft call, heard by us.

" Sthp... Ssttt...," the voice of a woman, which is not very clear because the surroundings of this house are not installed with lights at all.

"Who?" ask me while whispering.

Right behind the house, where I was peering with Azzam's sister this afternoon, there was a young girl our age. And it seemed that Yumna instantly recognized.

"Martha?" call Yumna a little tight, almost forgetting that we're hiding.

"Sst... Don't loud. You familiar?" I remember to remind.

"Yes, he was my old school friend. More precisely, the one who always mocked me," Yumna said sadly recalling that.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Yumna" he said after we approached him.

"Yes, I forgive you before you ask. What are you doing here at night?" ask Yumna.

"I just want to uncover the truth, after the number of girls in this city are gone, after being brought here."

"Where do you know they had anything to do with the disappearance of the girls in this town?" point Yumna towards the house in front of us.

"I still live around here, after you leave this place. Without saying goodbye to me before," he said smiling glazedly at Yumna, though not too clear expression of detail because there was no light other than the moon alone.

"I'm sorry, I don't think you care about me. I don't want to live in this village. That's why I'm not saying goodbye to you."

"Sorry, if I've made you uncomfortable during your stay here" she hugged Yumna.

"Your body is so cold. Why don't you wear a thick jacket when the weather's like this? Are you sick?"

"No, I'm fine. Let's continue this investigation, "he said walking ahead, swinging the hand of the invitation sign following his steps walking away from where we were standing.

The number of requests about illustrations, this time the Author ventured to give a shadow when writing the story. Hopefully it does not disappoint, because it is still adapted to the illustrations from the previous novel.
