TUMBAL NURSING HOME

CHAPTER 43 INTENDING TO LEAVE?

In the midst of her confusion, Sintia found an idea to ask for help from the campus. He intends to borrow a phone in Mariyati's room. But Nek Dijah said, if the room Mariyati always locked when he left Panti. Instantly Sintia was hit by anxiety. He massaged the base of his nose while walking back and forth.

"What's Sintia? Why are you up so early?"

Sintia turned her body, she saw the Siti's nek walking towards her. Nek Sejah chose to go from there, he always avoided if he had to look directly at Nek Siti.

"Sir, do you know where Mariyati's mom is going? And when did he get home?"

"What's up, Sin? Is there something important and urgent, so you look this anxious?"

Sintia breathed a long breath while bowing her head. He told me everything about Widia who disappeared last night. Sintia explained, if Widia last went with Nek Windu to her room. After that, he never returned to his room.

"Sintia is afraid of Grandma, if something happens to Widia how?"

"Calm down first Sin. Let's ask Nek Windu first. Maybe he knows something."

Nek Siti with Sintia walked to Windu's room. But their steps came to a halt when they saw that Nek Windu had just come out of the bathroom. Sintia frowned, she was surprised to see that Nek Windu had taken a bath first. Though usually, it should always be Grandma Siti who invites him to take a shower.

"Windu, are you okay?" Ask nek Siti.

"Of course, why are you asking Siti that?" Nek Windu answered with a smile.

"You can ask Dijah, last night I spoke to him before I went back to the room. Where did Widia go? Let's not let that kid run away from the Panti!" Nek Windu said.

Nek Sejah who happened to be around there spoke the words of Nek Windu. He said the same thing, if last night he saw Widia leaving Nek Windu with him. Sintia is increasingly confused, and is afraid if something bad happens to her friend. Nek Siti clasped his hands, asking Sintia to think positively.

"Right now Mariyati is not at the Panti, we can't do anything without her permission. Let's just wait, maybe Widia got lost somewhere like that time." Said Necah Siti with her shady smile.

Sintia just nodded her head, hoping if Siti's nek's words were true. He then returned to the room with a little hope. He saw Dina preening, without any worries.

That morning they all had breakfast together. The atmosphere at the dining table was a bit awkward, as Dina was acting pretentious in front of Riko. Sintia chose to eat in the kitchen, on the grounds that she wanted to tidy up the kitchen so that her work was more relaxed. As he passed through the ritual room, he faintly heard a noise. Sintia settles looking for a gap to peek. He looked in all directions, so that no one would know. It was so dark inside, there was almost no light at all. But the tail of his eyes saw something that made him curious. There was long white hair dangling to the ground. The hair looked shiny in the middle of the room. Sintia looks for a foothold to look up the vents. He arranged a wooden chair, as his footrest. Although it was a bit difficult, but Sintia kept trying to look inside. Now he has managed to stand on a chair, although he must be careful to maintain balance. With the help of air vents, Sintia gets a little lighting. He looked into the room, and saw an old woman with long white hair sitting on a rocking chair. He closed his eyes, not realizing that anyone was peeping. And in the corner of the room, there was something that caught his attention. Like something was hidden behind a pile of cloth. While Sintia was busy observing her, her legs slipped to make her lose balance. Sintia almost fell down, but she was able to balance her body. He peered back into the room, but as soon as he prepared to look inside. He actually saw a pair of eyes with sharp eyes, glaring at him.

Bruugh.

Sintia fell to the floor, her body trembling with a sweat drenching her forehead. He ran with all his strength, and told what he saw to everyone at the dinner table. But the elderly did not seem to believe him. Sintia swore, and convinced everyone that what she saw was real.

"If you can't believe we're both in that room. Sintia is sure you all will know the truth. There's a creepy old woman in there, she's like she's hiding from us. Let's not say he's the bad guy who tried to harm us!" Sintia cried with tears.

Riko who could not bear to see the woman he loved was frightened, trying to calm her. But Dina immediately pulled Riko's hand, so that he moved away from Sintia. Nek Siti who knows everything can only be silent, because after all he is unlikely to reveal the identity of Mariyati. No one would listen to Sintia's words, he felt that her existence there was undesirable. Sintia ran to the back garden, she spilled her sadness there. He felt he had no reason to stay there any longer. There was an intention to leave the nursing home. But he didn't know what to do, because he didn't know where he was at the moment.
