TUMBAL NURSING HOME

CHAPTER 21 WHO IS HE?

"Do not know also Don, because there are many people with the same clan. Like my cousin who batak people also so, his surname is the same as my next door neighbor. But they have no family connection, maybe Hanua just happens to be the same. If Beni has a family who has lived in this place, surely he will tell us dong!" Riko said while carrying a piece of paper containing Bimo Tjen Liu's data.

Unexpectedly, Mariyati was already behind them. He took the paper, and read it.

"It turns out Grandpa Bimo's file was mixed up here. Continue with your task, I will bring this file only!" Mariyati said before leaving from there.

They all immediately exhaled a long breath. Relieved because Mariyati did not talk about what they discussed earlier.

"That's why don't you talk about it! About the same last name, even in some cases!" Cetus Widia's.

"Wait for Wid! But maybe it has something to do with it. Because it could be that everything here is not a coincidence. For example, today, we are asked to find data on the elderly who used to live here. Is it just to deliver the last message? How I got curious!" Sintia connects the two eyebrows while looking at the data on the table.

According to the list requested by Mariyati. There were only ten elderly names that he asked for. While the residents of the Nursery Home were definitely more than the list that Mariyati requested.

"Why just ten names?" Sintia Gumam.

"But even talking to yourself, it's clear because Ms. Mariyati wants to convey the last message of the elderly on the list!" Sahut Widia who is still busy reading the sheet of paper.

"But a bit strange also Wid, why only now shrill. Can't it be told from the beginning?" Chirper Riko.

"It could be because you can't. Don't think about anything that doesn't matter, but we have to prepare dinner."

"Oh yes Mbah Gito nginep here, right, we ready to eat dinner for him too?" Widia stood up, then walked towards the kitchen.

"It seems not necessary Wid, Mbah Gito never eat if nginep here. Ko, Don's. You guys go on, I'm the same Widia wants to go to the kitchen!" Pungkas Sintia left Riko and Doni who were still busy reading the sheet.

Widia has already heated up some vegetables and side dishes. When he was alone in the kitchen, he thought that Sintia was cutting fruits. There was the sound of a knife being sharpened to deafen the ears.

"It's noisy to know, my ears are up to the wind!"

There was no answer from Sintia, just a woman's voice humming. Widia was very sure, if it wasn't Sintia's voice. As soon as his legs went limp, he lost the ability to support his own body.

"Beautiful boy... Hurry up tolooong me!" Say a ghost wearing rags and tattered kebaya.

A cold sweat flowed profusely from his forehead to his cheeks. Widia's body felt increasingly weak, because the figure in front of her walked creeping through the upper ceiling.

Bruugh!

"With Wid's tweezers?" Sintia asked after Widia started to gain her consciousness.

Widia looked very shocked, she turned her head in various directions and held Sintia with tears.

Riko and Doni could already guess from Widia's expression just now. He must have just seen something that scared him, which is why he collapsed in the kitchen. Sintia was finally sensitive to the code that Riko gave. So Sintia did not ask any more questions.

"Udah Wid, don't be afraid anymore. Almost all of us have seen a ghost whose throat was slit. So you don't have to be afraid alone, because we all have seen it together. But it's okay, he doesn't hurt us. It's just a serem!"

"It's not Sin! Which I've never seen before. That's old female demon Sin, she's wearing a tattered kebaya. His face I can not recognize, because it was destroyed eaten by maggots. I'm afraid Sin, I've seen ghosts here twice!" Widia was crying with a hiccup in Sintia's arms.

Not long ago Mariyati came with Mbah Gito. Tonight he will eat together before performing the midnight ritual. And it looks like Mbah Gito knows what Widia just saw.

"Let me help Widia not to be in shock again. You guys just pick up the parents for dinner together!" Mbah Gito recites mantras in a glass of water.

After the departure of the students, Mbah Gito gives magic so that Widia forgets the figure she just saw. Mbah Gito also warned Mariyati, to rebuke the elderly so as not to carelessly show his form to his great-grandchildren.

"What is the purpose of the parents, do they deliberately want to make all these children run away from fear?" Mbah Gito said with a clenched hand.

"Maybe there's another purpose, why are they doing that. Just like Siti and Ridho did. I know secretly they both want to keep and save her great-grandchild." Mariyati said, not continuing her words, because the elderly and young people came.

"Where is Nek Windu?" Mariyati looked around, and she did not see Nek Windu.

"We knocked on Nek Windu's door, but there was no answer from inside. While Nek was colonized, he said he was not feeling well. Dina was with him in the room. So they don't eat together." Obviously Sintia while holding the hand of Nek Siti.

"Widia, you just sit down with the others. Let me pick up Nek Windu!" Mariyati.

Mariyati came to Nek Windu, she was under the blanket not answering Mariyati's question. Until finally Mariyati said something that made Nek Windu rise from his bed.

"You think by hiding like this, I won't know what you're doing? Why are you all trying to screw up this nearly finished plan huh!" Mariyati's snapping made Nek Windu bow his head.

"My answer is Windu!" Mariyati's voice sounded even louder.

"My whole body is getting sicker more and more Mar. I can't hold it much longer, why do you have to ask me to wait until my birthday arrives? I feel like I'm going to be in pain a second time!" Clearly Nek Windu was covered in tears.

Mariyati immediately heard Nek Windu's words. However, Mariyati loved the elderly very much, and she also understood how to suffer them all. Gently and affectionately, Mariyati explained to Nek Windu. If he had to wait any longer just for his own good. Because if the soul-dropping ritual is performed before the birth of the elderly, the benefits obtained for them will not be perfect. Although the truth is behind it all, Mariyati also has other goals and no one knows. Except for the one person closest to her, who knows all the secrets hidden by Mariyati.
