TUMBAL NURSING HOME

CHAPTER 16 INNER UPHEAVAL.

"Thank God I was just a dream. But why am I here huh, my feelings are again in front of the door of that locked room." Murmured Dina by scratching the head that does not itch.

Amidst his confusion, there was someone who opened the door from the outside.

Cekleek.

Mariyati was standing at the door of her room. Between relief and anxiety, because he saw the look on Mariyati's face that looked angry.

"What are you doing in front of that room, Dina?" Mariyati's snapping makes her flutter.

"I was just passing by Mom, but I accidentally saw something in there. There's a ghostly apparition with a slit throat ma'am, he's asking me for help." Clearly Dina with a rough gulp.

Mariyati grinned then walked towards Dina sitting down.

"Don't ever find out something you shouldn't know again, because it won't be good for you Dina! Get up, it's noon now. It's time for you to get back to work, and help your friends!"

After that Mariyati left just like that, she let Dina remember what she saw. Unlike usual, he always hypnotized the students.

"Din you passed out a long time ago anyway, almost a day just woke up!" Widia chirps while giving a glass of warm tea to Dina.

"Have you cooked anyway?" Dina's mouth was wide open

"Bauk Din, don't be wide!"

"What the hell Wid, I'm shocked! Did I faint during that time? Where did I faint?"

"You passed out in front of that always-locked room. Nek Sejah who knows, he keeps calling Bu Mariyati. He said you saw what you weren't supposed to see, so you got this way. But you don't feel like it's like it's taking turns. The first Sintia kept me, then you. Don't know who else tomorrow, don't-don't be in this place, there's something!"

Sintia came to ask Widia and Dina to come out immediately, because there was a routine checkup for the elderly. They all need to help prepare everything they need.

"Is it okay Din? Looking forward, I'm looking forward to it." Sintia said while patting Dina's shoulder.

Dina just squinted both eyes, looking at Sintia cynically. "Don't be so smart, I know you're bad!" Dina got up from the bed while picking up the related towel on the nail.

Sintia and Widia just shook their heads, inexplicably seeing the nature of Dina very similar to Nek Sejah. But the two never argue despite having the same nature.

"Include him this is Mbah Gito, the man who healed Grandpa Bimo as you see him now. Mbah Gito came to see the health condition of the parents. At once he wants to see you all. People who have been very meritorious to the parents here. Teruma Beni who is no longer here, even though only briefly take care of Grandpa Bimo, thanks to Grandpa Bimo's health gradually improved." Said Mariyati standing next to a man her age.

The five students shook hands with Mbah Gito while introducing themselves. They all muttered to each other, because one thought that the one who came to check was the Doctor. It turned out to be just a healer from the village. The five of them were asked to send the parents into a room that was always locked. Because the room is commonly used to treat the elderly. Only Dina was the one whose face looked tense. It seemed that he was still frightened if he remembered the events in the room. Although his friends said that he only fainted in front of the room.

Dina was still standing where she stood, she gulped roughly and looked at the faces of her friends. Because it did not go, Mariyati yelled at him with a high tone of voice.

"Are you listening to my word Dina?"

"Hm. Ma'am sorry ma'am, but I'm scared."

"There's nothing in there Dina, look and prove for yourself what I said. You're just hallucinating!" Cetus Mariyati pulls Dina's hand.

Nek Dijah was already sitting in the living room waiting for Dina to pick him up. But the still traumatized Dina was a bit frightened into the room. Then Sintia chose to be the first to bring Nek Siti to the inside.

"Mr Siti don't mind if you go in first with Sintia?"

"Yes Sin, let's go first!"

Only the look of annoyed faces shown by Dina and Nek Sejah. They assume that Sintia and Nek Siti are just looking for attention.

After knocking on the door, Mbah Gito let them inside. Mbah Gito, who is the same age as Mariyati, looks younger than his calling. Perhaps because of his high knowledge, he got the nickname Mbah Gito. There were some white sheets on the table. Beside him looks a variety of offerings and incense. There are also seven flowers laid out in a basin of water. Sintia felt strange at the sight she saw. At first everything seems normal, Mbah Gito checks through the pulse of Nek Siti. There is a massage on the head, because Nek Siti often complains of headaches.

"Give this drink to Nek Siti." Said Mbah Gito while handing over a glass of white water with cantile flowers in it.

Right in front of Sintia's face, suddenly Mbah Gito exhaled a long breath. After that, Sintia's eyes went blank. Mbah Gito asked Sintia who drank the water of the cantile flowers she had held.

"Take a drink, and write your name and Father's name on this white cloth. Don't forget to write your date, month and year of birth." Mbah Gito said and then read the mantras.

After Sintia wrote everything she was told, she just sat quietly without a word. Seemed Nek Siti bowed with a sad face, it was like she was holding back so as not to get angry in front of Mbah Gito. But it seems like Nek Siti is running out of patience. He broke the table, and took the white cloth in the hand of Sintia.

"Don't do this Gito, I don't need anything anymore. Just let him live his life like any other young man."

"You can't decide this all you want Siti! Before you could do it, why not now? It makes no difference to this child from his parents. If you could, you should now be better off. Because you've never met each other before!"

"That's why I can't do it! Maybe if he had been around a long time ago, this kid wouldn't have let me suffer here."

"Haha. Don't expect Siti too much! Soon your goals will all be achieved. Don't let feelings rule your mind. Return the shroud to me, I must do this to keep this girl with you. Because your birthday is already gone, and it will take another nine months, so that you can survive until your birthday. Only Bimo and Dodit are lucky, their birthdays are still not over so they can get what they want."

Seen Nek Siti moody, her hands trembling holding the shroud that already had Sintia handwriting. Until he did not realize that Mariyati was behind him, and quickly Mariyati snatched the cloth from the hands of Nek Siti.
