TUMBAL SEVENTH

Helpfully

Still continue POV. Rania

“Kok Bayu has not been aware as well?” I started to get scared to see Bayu's condition like a dead man. Not moving at all. 

Dian and Tirta looked at each other. The faces of both of them implied worry.

“We wait until a while longer, yes, Ran. Doain hope Bayu returns safely.”

I frowned. Trying to digest Dian's words.

Then we all fell silent waiting for Bayu to return from his subconscious. Or whatever, I don't really understand the term that Bayu lakoni is doing right now. I pray in my heart, May Bayu be well and be aware immediately.

“Yes God, what happened to your friend?!”

The three of us were shocked by Mama's screams, which were out of nowhere standing in the doorway of this room.

Me, Dian and Tirta looked at each other. Then look towards Mama who is still staring at the doorway.

“That's your friend why?” Again, Mama asked while pointing at Bayu's body on the floor. Mama looks panicked. “Temennya fainted, why did you guys just not look for help cake or how?” nagel Mama then, as she stepped closer to Bayu who was lying on the floor. Ensuring.

“Eum, relax yes, Tan. It's okay.” Dian tried to explain. However, Mama did not understand what Dian explained. Dian looked at her in such a way.

“Nothing how? Obviously that your friend lying on the floor unconscious that is, I say nothing. If he's why-why how? Later aunts and families are also to blame.” Mama nyerocos nonstop.

“Tante, our friend Insha Allah, is fine. He's got a vision ...”

“What sight?” Mama interrupted Tirta's explanation. His forehead frowned not understanding.

“So gini Tan, Bayu our friend has the advantage of being able to see the invisible.” Tirta continued with his explanation.

“You mean he's the indigo kayak kid on TV-TV?” my mother began to understand.

“Iya more or less like that,Tan,” timpal Dian.

Mama nodded small. “Then this means your friend can see and know where Tania is, dong?” chirps Mama.

“Tania's problem is still hard to solve, Tan. Like there is a big force that covers the case of Tania's disappearance,” said Dian.

Mama looked down sad, even with me Dian and Tirta.

“Ma, nyamperin children to be invited to eat aja aja long time really, Dad is hungry lo this,” said Dad who immediately cheered in with us.

“Lho, Bayu fainted again?” father Chirps, and is embraced by Dian as well as Tirta.

“If Om is hungry, you should eat first. Dian and I asked permission to stay here waiting for Bayu to wake up. Can, right?” Tirta looked at me, Mama and Dad in turn.

“Eat it later. It's still strong when hungry. We wait for Bayu to wake up.”

“Sorry yes, Om, Aunt, Rania, we are so troublesome,” said Dian, he looks unwell.

“No, what is troublesome? You helped us a lot to find Tania. We thank you very much for that,” timpal Mama. My father and I agreed with Mama.

“We just did what we were supposed to do as a fellow, Om, Auntie,” Tirta said.

Somehow there is a sense of disappointment infiltrated in this heart after hearing Tirta's speech. 'So that's just that, Ta. Maybe it's true that all this time I was too baper to respond to your attitude that is sometimes so considerate of me. I misinterpreted your caring attitude towards this self.’

I was jolted from the daydream by the sound of Bayu's moaning. Soon after, Bayu opened his eyes. Dian and Tirta are also Mama, Dad, giving thanks. Relieved, the rancid boy finally came to his senses as well.

“Where? What did you see earlier?” cecar Dian's.

Bayu seemed reluctant to explain. It's not good for me, Mom and Dad.

“It's okay just say it. God willing, we are ready to listen to whatever you just got.”

“Om sure, strong hear all this?” ask Bayu.

I was silent for a moment and then looked at Mama. Then turned back to Bayu who was still sitting on the floor. Then nodded steadily ready to listen to Bayu tell a story.

However, the sound of Dad's stomach rumbling made Bayu urung tell what he had seen.

“It looks like the story will be yes, Om is really very hungry. Let's eat first, yuk! Let Bayu also recover his strength.”

“Ayaaah!” Mama grabbed Dad with her eagle gaze while pinching Dad's stomach.

“Yes already, yuk, we eat first everything!” bring Mama.

“Yuk, eat first!” timpal.

Mom and Dad walked out of the room first. Even Dian has walked a few steps in front of me to call Bayu who is still weak.

“Yeah, hungry hit, they forget that his son is having trouble walking,” my murmur is annoyed at Mama and Dad.

I'm crawling on a wall or whatever I can hold. Grimacing while holding pain in the legs.

“This is what I helped you with.” Tirta extended a hand.

“No need, I can alone,” reject me. Don't want a prolonged baper. I had to pretend to be strong in front of Tirta.

My eyes widened as Tirta swept over me abruptly. Our views collided in a matter of seconds. His warm breath swept across this face. My heart beats violently and cannot be compromised. I was also wrong.

“Yeah, sorry mom forgot about you, baby,” said Mama casually as she tilted her head at the top end of the stairs. Then back down the stairs after knowing I've been swept by Tirta.

“Ma-Ma, how the hell, even down again. Not helping me. Mama really byebelin,” mumbled I was upset.

“Kan I helped,” said Tirta.

“Ya but, right, different.”

“How different?”

I scratched the nape that was not actually itchy. Confused not knowing what else to say. I was getting more and more wrong when Tirta looked at me in such a way from my left side.

Then continue the steps that had stopped for a while.

As I went down the stairs I tried to endure the pain in my legs. However, it seems that Tirta realized that I was in pain.

“Hold,” said. He released his papers. My reflexes were holding on to the side walls of the stairs. Tirta came down and stood on my lower steps. He slightly bent his body. I frowned not understanding.

“Good!” her word.

“Hah?!” My eyes wide. Shock.

“Ka-you ya-sure?” I still can't believe Tirta will carry me. Heart palpitations instead of playing, body shakes uncontrollably.

“Run up!”

“Eum, call my father please, let me in ..” My speech came to a halt as Tirta pulled my hands together and crossed her neck. “Handle!” Again, he gave me orders. I was automatically on his back.

I think I want to faint. God, may Tirta not hear my heartbeat.

“You sure can. I'm afraid that if we fall tumbling down,” my whine, cringe-worthy.

“If you keep talking, there will be a real fall!” resounding.  I was quiet and late in the situation. And I secretly watched him.

Slowly he lowered me down from above his back after reaching the bottom floor.

“Su-already got below, huh?” What a silly question. Hug.

“Ya, how do you think?” He looked at me weird. I turned my face the other way avoiding eye contact with her.

I flinched as Tirta again grabbed my left hand and wrapped it around her neck. He returned to take me to the dining room. Arriving at the dining room, Bayu prepared a chair for me.

“Thank you,” I said to Bayu and Tirta. They both nodded compactly.

“Let's start eating!” take Daddy impatient. Looks like Dad's been really hungry.

“Good eat everything,” concluded Father, then feed a spoonful of food to his mouth after reading the prayer.

When I had trouble picking up the side dish, Tirta who happened to be sitting on my left side swiftly picked up a piece of fried chicken for me.

I can't say a word. Gerogi.

When reaching for a drinking glass without waiting Tirta also grabbed the same glass so that his hand touched the back of my hand. The originally stable heart is now pounding erratically again. Eye contact between me and him was inevitable.

I cursed in my heart. I don't know why I'm so*** this way. My glass is on my right, why would I take the one on my left to try. Duh!

Quickly, Tirta pulled her hand from the back of my hand. I look around. Huf, thankfully all focus on each plate. So I didn't realize my flirting just now.

I grabbed the glass to my right. However, when I was about to drink the water somehow my hand suddenly trembled. So that the water spilled partly on my thigh.

“Ups!”

“Why are you, honey?” asked Mama who realized the strangeness in me.

“Eum, this is Ma, do not know why my hand suddenly numb so fit to drink so spilled,” said me right away.

Tirta swiftly picked up a tissue for me.

“Thank you,” my word. Tirta responded with a small nod.

“It looks like tomorrow has to control, fearing that it was the effect of drifting at that time,” said Mama. I just shut up, don't know what else to say. Yes, I must say this is the effect of gerogi because it sits next to Tirta.

***

After we finished eating, we gathered in the living room. Continuing the conversation that had paused due to Daddy's stomach rumbling.

Bayu also told what he saw during the astral projection earlier.

Bayu saw the seconds when Tania was carried by two people wearing black hoods. Tania was carried on a man's shoulder and carried through an underground passageway, and a woman tailed behind the man who bore the tiny body of my sister.

“Did you not see the kidnapper's face?” ask Daddy riled. Bayu.

“This is clearly Well, it must be Mbok Tini and Pak Ramat.” I don't know why my feelings are so strong that they're the culprit.

“Honey, we can't recriminate without accurate evidence,” said Father.

We were getting really frustrated thinking about all this. When will the puzzle of Tania's disappearance be revealed?

Dad told Tirta, Dian and Bayu to go home for a break.

“Tomorrow we continue to find Tania again. Now we all rest first,” said Daddy lethargic.

According to Father's decree, Tirta and his two friends came home. The house is back empty. Tania's shadow while playing, as well as her voice, her laughter, ringing in my ears. 

“You better rest. Let ceper heal.” Mama rubbed this shoulder. I nodded.

“Ya already, yuk, Mama take you to your room.”

“Not to Ma. I slept in the guest room. Tired if you have to go up and down stairs.”

“Ya already, yuk, Mama deliver to guest room.” My mother then took me to the guest room.

When I got to my room, Mama sat me on the edge of the bed.

“Thank you, Ma. Sorry, it's been a lot of trouble.”

“Not bothered. I slept already!”

I nodded, then laid myself on the bed.

“Mama temenin Your father, yes.”

“Iya Ma.”

After Mama left the room, I remembered every scene with Tirta.

***

“Kaaak, help me.”

I sharpened my hearing. The voice sounded again.

Tania, that's right, that's Tania's voice. I woke up and searched for the source of the sound. Walk slowly along the wall and hold on to anything I can hold. Until we get to the basement.

My legs seemed boneless to see Tania standing in the doorway of the underground passageway with a body covered in blood. His hand slid towards me. “Kaaak, sakiiit, help meuu.” His voice sounded heavy as if he was enduring extreme pain.

I slowly walked towards him with tears in my eyes. But not until I was near him.  Tania's tiny body was like being sucked by the magical power from within the passageway. So that his body floated in the air dragged into the hallway and disappeared from the sight of my eyes.

“Taniaaa!”
