Day 16's
...And it happened again.......
...***********...
In the evening, Agus and Ibu Surti had just finished cleaning up the house that had fallen apart. Although the house is narrow, but a lot of small furniture that is difficult to clean. They decided to relax in the living room while enjoying the warm ginger wedang.
It's a rare moment for them, spending time alone. Since Agus entered the police, he was seen rarely accompany Ms. Surti even on holidays though. Therefore he did not want to waste this precious time.
They laugh for many things, talking about childhood with their late father is a happy thing. Agus suddenly missed the firm and authoritative figure of the father.
Agus momentarily asked permission to answer a phone call from Tania. He went back and talked about a lot of important things. While Surti's mother is still waiting for her son to finish. About 15 minutes, Agus returned to his mother with a beaming face.
"For kasmaran, son?" ask Ibu Surti jahil.
"Ah, I know," replied Agus mesem-mesem smile.
"Who is Gus, how much you love that woman."
"Mom's forgotten the hell, beautiful woman who ever came here early in the morning. Her name is Tania, Agus' high school friend first."
Agus then showed a photo of Tania from head to toe. He wanted to further introduce the figure of the woman he really liked. She also wanted to boast about how beautiful Tania was.
Surti's mother seems not too interested in Tania's figure. He even showed a sour face and bete. Now his daughter-in-law's taste suddenly changed 180 degrees.
"Find the wife is rich Nana, not just beautiful but kind inside out" muttered Mother Surti.
"Lah ko Nana again bu, far away dong Tania same Nana! He's generous, his social care is high which is important ma'am he's really good, not a good temple!" agus's rebuttal was furious.
"You know where you are, if Tania's a good woman."
"Geez ma'am, Agus has known Tania for a long time. She may not be the right woman. There are mothers to be vigilant with Nana, just become neighbors one year rich already known from birth," pampered Agus sneer.
"Related Gus?"
"Surely dong bu, all this time who helps mom if there is a problem who? Tania loh's. Yesterday she volunteered to be a mother's attorney, during a case of violence in the toilet.
Now then? He's ready to protect our family if Uncle Jono continues to extort. He even asked uncle Jono's address at Cikiwul just in case."
"Based on a stupid kid! Why give your uncle's address to a stranger. If Jono's okay, you're responsible!"
"Oh ma'am, ko be real Tania anyway. He's a great lawyer, don't worry."
Surti's mother could only laugh lightly at his son's explanation. He then stroked Agus' head with gentleness and touched his palm. The mother looked deeply and lovingly at Agus.
"Well, if that's your heart's choice. Go after the woman until you get it! Don't keep single."
"So, ma'am, Agus is Tania matching?"
"Yes, yes.. it fits, really," replied Mother Surti a little laugh at Agus.
Agus was certainly happy with his own mother's wisdom. He hugged Mother Surti with warmth and affection. He was even so moved by the decision of the mother who always respected him.
"Thank you ma'am, Agus loves Mother" said Agus lirih.

Dear Diary's....
It seems like lately we are going through a lot of tension, unnatural anxiety. Why should I be so overrated like that? I want to enjoy the rest of the time before getting a comfortable divorce.
All felt terrorized by something they themselves did not know. Chaotic thoughts can make them stumble with even a small pebble. Farel, you must stand firm on the path we have agreed.
Divorce is the end of this diary.
It seems like we've all had too many nightmares. Do I need to find a flock of roosters to crow loudly? Replacing HP alarms that are already like useless scrap mounds.
Don't worry, I'm your best wife this time. I know what we need right now. It's time for vengeance, for the chaos the universe has wrought.
Farel gawked like a madman, sweaty fur began to wet his entire heel. He slammed the witch's diary into the wall. He could no longer bear to read his wife's diary.
Now, what else? Why did all the fear and terror in his soul never stop. The Nana he used to know was so innocent, it could turn out like a nine-tailed fox. His body was unceasingly trembling as it endured the acute frustration.
...Nana's enough! stop right here....
Farel knew something worse was going to happen. Nana's writing looks like an unexpected warning and gift. But is Nana really going to kill again? Does Farel have to believe all these baseless preconceptions.
He then went back to picking up the magic grandmother's diary and walked out towards Nana's room. There he saw the woman was tidying up some clothes and put in a travel bag.
Farel quickly grabbed the shirt in Nana's hand and dropped all the contents from the bag. Of course the woman was very surprised by the brutal actions of the husband. He was still astonished as to why Farel could act like that.
"Where are you going?" farel asked fiercely.
"Went to Ivan's father's house?"
"I should be on the phone with my assistant, if he's sick."
"Lying, I knew you would never come to Ivan's father's house even though he was dying. Now why would you suddenly care about her?"
"Liar time anyway, if you don't believe the assistant's phone at home. Anyway I have to go tonight."
"No way, I don't give permission. Anyway you stay home and don't expect to get out" threatened Farel seriously.
Farel immediately closed the door to Nana's room and immediately locked the door from the outside. In fact he closed all the windows with curtains and locked every door that led the way out.
He ran out and locked the front yard gate, even he used an extra padlock. Farel shut down all access to this little house, he wouldn't let Nana out. He did not want to be cheered and acted as usual.
Without Farel noticing, Agus was monitoring the movement of their house. He clearly saw how the man was ruffled around the front gate.
Of course it was out of Farel's habit, so it raised great suspicion. Agus does not know what the purpose of Farel to behave like that, but he believes it is related to Nana.
While Nana kept knocking on the door of the room from inside. The woman kept begging Farel to let her out of the room. He also continued to force Farel to explain why his attitude could change.
"Rel, this time I'm seriously ill. I'm sure it's because the news of our divorce has been spread everywhere. So please, just let me out this time," Nana said from behind the door.
Farel was standing at the door of Nana's room. To be honest he was very sad to have to keep his own wife in the room. He didn't have the heart, but it was for good.
He did not want to bring out the demon that was locked inside his wife. He didn't want anyone to get hurt again because of his carelessness. The goal is to protect everyone.
"I'm sorry Na" replied Farel slowly.
"Rel, don't you trust your own wife. I told you to stay on my side no matter what," Nana softly pleaded.
"Stop talking sweet like that Na!! you just have to stay in the room" Farel snapped.

In the afternoon Agus and Ibu Surti were at the dining table to eat lodeh vegetables, salted fish and sambal terasi. The man really enjoyed every mouthful on the plate. She was grateful to be able to enjoy her mother's cooking.
"Tumben our neighbor is deserted. From dawn I didn't see Nana shopping to the market" said Ms. Surti.
"It's mom, it's none of our business. They will get divorced. It's only natural that there's a household check."
"But my mother's feelings aren't good. They're not usually like this."
Agus started to shut up, his mouth kept chewing but his focus was everywhere. Honestly, he kept thinking about his neighbor. Especially since last night Farel was only seen locking the front gate.
He should know what happened, he should not lose any information from them. He quickly finished the food and wanted to immediately scout the neighbor's house.
"Mother today wants to go to Jono's house" Surti's mother said.
"Well?"
"You take the jewelry. I don't want you to be sad because your father's only item is missing."
"That's it, ma'am, just this morning. The jewelry was sold cheap."
"This time it was memenin mother, we have not looked at uncle Jono for a long time. You said you took a leave, right?"
"Yes, yes it is Agus Temenin," replied Agus.
Suddenly the HP Agus ringtone rang, it turned out that it was the phone of the vice-chairman of the team, Bima. Agus immediately answered the phone call and listened to the emergency orders from his superiors.
Agus' face changed completely, he suddenly panicked and agitated. He hurriedly ran towards the room and immediately changed his clothes. While Ibu Surti even bengong see the commotion of Agus.
"Why son?" ask Surti's mother to be curious.
"Mom sorry, rich Agus can not nemenin mother went to uncle Jono's house. There's an emergency call from the office."
"Yes, I can be alone."
"Agus promised, if this business was finished, Agus would follow the mother to the house of Uncle Jono. Ok, Agus said yes first," said Agus while greeting the mother's hand that has been wrinkled.
While he had taken the motorcycle out of the garage and passed Farel's house. Agus momentarily stopped the motor, he began to notice the gate padlock that was still locked.
He saw the whole building of Farel's house, but there was no sign of life. Have they not left the house at all? Suddenly Agus' feelings became unpleasant.
Especially after he found out if the emergency call was about Imin's report. Bima said Imin called police because he had accidentally passed by a woman smelling of mint.
Imin was very sure if the smell of the pungent mint perfume was very similar to a black hooded woman. Because he was the only eyewitness who ever met the perpetrator while at the hotel.
Agus still does not understand, if indeed the woman smelling mint is the perpetrator. Then why Farel and Nana's house suddenly deserted. Where exactly did they go?
