What's Wrong Pa

The disappearance of a child

Nadhira who was chatting with the two people, without realizing that there was someone who was listening to their chatter, silently the person immediately left the food stall, seeing that the store owner immediately came to Nadhira.

"Excuse me, Ma'am, did you talk about the trembesi tree in this place?" Ask a woman who is a salesman.

"Yes ma'am, what's wrong?" Nadhira asked back with a curious face.

"You better forget about the tree, the tree's waiter is very fierce Maak, very fond of looking for the fall of people who have dared to come to that place".

"But I heard that the tree was going to be cut down because of repairs to the tomb that was there Bu".

"Don't believe it, Ma'am, no one dared to approach let alone to cut it down, could the life of the person who cut it down would be lost".

"Do you know someone named Dwija in this place, Mom?" Tanya Theo arrived.

At once the question posed by Theo made the woman look so surprised and reflexively immediately walked back to avoid the three people in front of her.

"Why are you asking about that guy! Who are you guys!" Asked the woman with his reflexes about Theo's question.

The woman looked so frightened after hearing the name Dwija mentioned in the place, and the woman spoke to her floor to expel the three buyers.

"Who are you! What does this have to do with Dwija? Get the fuck out of here".

Hearing the scream made Nadhira immediately rise from her seat, she also felt surprised by the reaction caused by the woman after hearing a question from Theo, who was not at all, he had never been treated by a salesman like that before.

"What's wrong with Dwija? Why did you throw us out like that after hearing his name?"

"Go from here now! Or I'll shout for the people to immediately kick you out of this place".

"We just want to know about Mr. Dwija, please explain to us about him".

"It's not important to know who Dwija is! You guys better get out of here, I don't want to see your faces again".

"So sure you are to Mr. Dwija? Why did you throw us out like that?".

"Go from here now!"

"Call Mom, we're not here to be like this village, we just want to know who Dwija is, please tell us".

"No! I don't want to".

Nadhira was so surprised and immediately looked at Nimas, Nimas who understood the meaning of the gaze immediately approached the woman and made her unable to move her limbs, when he felt that the woman immediately bowed in front of Nadhira.

Incidentally there was no other buyer besides the three people, seeing that Nadhira immediately crouched in front of the woman who was bowed, the woman could not move her body so she could only scream.

"What did you do to me! What spell are you wearing! Unhand me! Release him! Are you an expert in magic, what magic are you wearing! Unhand me!"

"Calm down Mom don't yell like that, we won't hurt you, this isn't ordinary magic, this is my protector I told you to hold Mom" Nadhira said.

"What do you want from me! Unhand me!".

"Calm down Mom, we're not gonna hurt you"

The woman continued to rebel to let go because she was in a magical bond so that she could not see what was wrapped around her legs and hands, but who would have thought that Nimas was holding his feet and hands very tightly.

"Let go of me now! I'm warning you not to go there, or you'll be the next victim"

"We're not going to hurt you, ma'am, we just want to know who Dwija is, why are you so scared after hearing that name mentioned? What happened to Dwija?".

At once the woman was crying loudly in front of Nadhira, Nadhira was increasingly confused by the attitude of the woman who immediately turned into a heartbreaking cry for Nadhira.

"What's wrong, ma'am? Why are you crying like that? Tell me, who knows I can help you"

"Can you give me back my little daughter? Hiks. hiks... hiks. Give him back to me".

The woman's cry grew louder when she mentioned about her daughter who disappeared in recent years, hearing that made Nadhira feel sad about the events that had been experienced by the woman in front of her.

"If I may know, what happened to your daughter?"

"She disappeared two years ago, and the whole community has been looking for her but.she was not found also until now.hiks..hiks..hua, he said that my daughter went to that sacred tomb".

"Mother's daughter disappeared suddenly after coming to the sacred kemakam? So is it true that in this village there is a sacred tomb?"

"That grave has taken so many lives, including my only daughter I have, you will not be able to return it to me, my poor daughter".

"If you can tell, how's the story?".

"Then...." The woman began to tell Nadhira.

*Flash back on*

Ratih is a young boy who is about 7 years old, she is the daughter of a woman named Ningsih who is currently the owner of a tavern that was visited by Nadhira and the two men.

Ningsih is a widow who has only one daughter, her husband has long left her because of the disease suffered by her, the disease has not been found a cure so that her husband's life can not be saved.

Ningsih only lives together with her parents, her only child and sister because after she became a widow she returned to live with her parents because she did not have a home while still with her husband.

That sunny afternoon Ningsih was busy with the merchandise he sold so that he did not pay too much attention to what his little daughter was doing, Ratih who saw his mother was busy more decided to play alone in front of the food store.

Suddenly the sight of Ratih was fixed on a flower that was blooming and the thing that made him interested was a butterfly that flew on top of the flower, the flower, the butterfly looks so beautiful with ornamental decoration on its wings and the color is so stunning for children who see it.

The butterfly flew so high that Ratih had to look up to see it fly free, Ratih continues to follow where the butterfly went slowly while walking to catch up wherever the butterfly went.

Ratih continues to follow where the butterfly went without him realizing that he was at the end of the Flamboyant Village, and Ratih found so many hordes of beautiful butterflies and various colors there.

"Well, it's beautiful, why are there so many butterflies here? I'm gonna catch one for my mom, she's gonna love it".

Ratih tried to catch the butterfly but when someone passed behind him, it made Ratih so surprised and looked at the man with fear.

"Why not why Kek, Ratih just want to catch the butterfly" said Ratih while pointing at the butterfly that was flying wildly.

"Rock soup? Where are the butterflies here? Already let's go home soon the sky will be dark, it's not good if it's still playing outside when it's like this" Invite the person.

"Wait for Cake, there's a lot of butterflies, didn't Grandpa see them?".

The middle-aged man turned around to find out about the butterflies spoken of by Ratih, however, he did not see the butterfly meant by Ratih that he saw only trees that were stacked and towering.

"Ratih, here there are no butterflies, let's go home if Grandpa needs to call your mother here so you're scolded by her".

Ratih still forced to catch the butterfly that only he could see it, he was equally indifferent to the words of his Grandfather, he was equally concerned about the words of his grandfather, it made Grandpa look so upset with the child in front of him at this time.

The middle-aged man immediately left Ratih in that place to tell this to Ningsih so that Ningsih was able to invite his son home because soon the magrib adzan will be reverberating crewed.

"Ning Ning's! Look at your son, it's so hard to tell" Shouted the middle-aged man calling Ningsih's name.

Ningsih who heard the screams immediately rushed out of his shop to see who was shouting like that, he was so surprised when he saw his neighbor was in front of his shop with a worried face.

"What's up, Pakde? Why scream like that?"

"Look at your son playing at the end of the village alone again, I've told him to go home still stubborn for mercy, take him home before sunset after this".

"What's? Why would Ratih play there alone, sirde?"

"He said he saw butterflies, butterflies what people there are, if there are mosquitoes, take your child home immediately, before disappearing like the others".

"Yes Pakde, I'll take him home right now" said Ningsih and he immediately rushed to pick his son home.

In a hurry, Ningsih immediately ran towards the end of the village to bring home her only daughter, hers, he did not want anything to happen to his son because there were already 3 small children who just disappeared in that place without knowing the origin of his disappearance.

Arriving there he did not find the existence of his son, and he continued to look for where Ratih went from that place, restlessly he continued to call the name Ratih, he hoped that Ratih would come when he heard his name called by his mother.

"Sir, why are you still here today? It's been too late afternoon lo Mbak, ngak good if it's still outside the house in this jam"

Suddenly there was someone who made him surprised, a young man whom he knew very well, he was his own biological brother, his name Pras.

"Pras, have you seen Ratih?"

"No Ma'am, what's wrong with Ratih?".

"Pakde Jo said that if Ratih played in this area himself, then the Mbak then came here to invite him home, Mbak was afraid something happened with Ratih".

"Oh my God, we must immediately find him Ma'am, hunt him down like any other child".

Ningsih and Pras immediately rush to look for Ratih, the villagers who heard that Ratih was missing they immediately rush to help look for Ratih, it had been two hours of searching but they never found the existence of Ratih in every corner of the village they explored it.

Suddenly he saw someone running towards him, the man looked so frightened and it seemed that he had not known about the disappearance of Ratih.

"Mr Ning! Sister Ning!" Call that guy.

"What's wrong? Did you find my daughter?".

"What's? Trained missing? Since when? Just now that I saw her walk alone towards the sacred tomb at the end of the village, I ran here to tell Ms. Ning".

"God Ratih".

Ningsih and the others immediately rushed towards the sacred tomb with a bustling crowd, they also did not forget to bring the torch to the place because the atmosphere in the area of the tomb will be darker because the trees that surround it so that no moonlight can enter the tomb area.

"Trainer! Where do you want to go, son".

"We will definitely find him Ma'am, Mbak calm yes, pray that Ratih can be found in good condition only".

The time is getting late at night, but Ratih never found his existence, the person called Pakde Jo felt very sorry because he had not tried to bring Ratih home at that time.

"Where the boy had gone, had I not left him, he might not have disappeared like this" he said with sadness.

"This has all happened Pakde, regret is only at the end, not regret at the beginning" said Pras who was trying to calm the middle-aged man.

"You're right, son, I'm really sorry I left him alone in a place like that before".

They are still on their way to the sacred tomb, in the middle of the journey they feel hesitant to step into the area because the cold air in that place is not at all friendly this time.

"I have to find my daughter!" Ningsih said with a very strong determination.

"That's a danger Ma'am, if Mbak goes there alone like that".

When everyone stopped at the place only Ningsih continued to walk regardless of what would happen to her next as she stepped into the area, although his life would be lost even if Ningsih still remained in his position to find the only daughter, all he cared about was the return of his little daughter not his life.

"I don't care Pras, as long as my daughter can come back whatever I will do, she's the only relic my husband has given me, and I don't want to lose her either".

"Well, Ma'am, I'll go with Ma'am to find Ratih, wherever Mbak goes I'll go along with Mbak".

Ningsih was moved by the words from her sister, Pras immediately clasped Ningsih's hand tightly and prepared to be ready to enter the area of the sacred tomb that looks so gloomy because of the high trees that cover it to get to the area of the tomb.

"I also lost my son in that place, and I won't let your son just disappear, I'll come look for him with you, however I've also felt what you felt my sister" Ucao is a woman who wears a long hijab in the front row.

"I'm also looking for him, we're all sisters, we're not going to let this happen over and over again, don't let us let our guard down because of a case like this, this village was never like that before".

"You're right, united we are firmly divorced we collapse, whatever happens we have to stop this case before our son on lost everything by itself like that".

"Ning you won't be alone, we'll accompany you to find your son".

"Yes, we'll go look for him".
