A GROAN OF FLICKERS IN THE NEXT ROOM

Bi Darsih also looked at her employer who was so sad. Not that he also returned to his good times with his daughter who since baby has gone missing somewhere.
He used to have a very beautiful baby girl and was kidnapped by a crazy person in his village. Shortly after the crazy person was found, the person was already dead because he fell into the river on a bridge between his village and the village sebrang.
Bi Darsih who knew it could not resist the crying and began to return home with some residents. Not until there, when he went home, she got the bitter fact that her husband had long married a widow who came from next door to Bi Darsih also chose to divorce her husband and she went to a region on the island of Java.
"I'm sorry madam. I think the mistress really should be brought to a person who is an expert in occult matters. For I am sure that the mistress has a disease sent by someone and the possibility of Mary is the same as the mistress"
Nirmala looked at Bi Darsih and looked back at her son who was sound asleep.
"Yes right bi, tomorrow I will look for a kiyai who will check on Maria and also check on the disease I suffered. I don't want to be separated from my daughter because she's the only reason I'm alive" Nirmala stroked Maria's hair gently.
"Good mistress. Tomorrow morning I will try to find out around the area here with Mang Kardi to find kiyai who can help the mistress and Non Maria"
From the outside, Bi Darsih and Nirmala did not know that Ria and Danu were now mixing love in her room very hot. Both of them seemed so indifferent to do the despicable thing and did not care about the presence of Nirmala who incidentally was the legitimate wife of Danu because she was already in Ria's control.
As usual at night, Nirmala and Bi Darsih slept in Mary's room because they were looking after Mary for fear that she would come to her senses and look for her mother. Nirmala slept on the floor with a folding mattress that she had prepared and Bi Darisih had also prepared a folding mattress beside her master because she did not know if Nirmala experienced terrible things again and needed her.
The cold night wind and the quiet atmosphere made Nirmala so difficult to sleep and just stared at the sky of her daughter's room which was so dark because the lights were always turned off when the night was approaching.
"Auntie's asleep?" tanya Nirmala tried to break the silence between them.
"Not yet madam, why? madam needs something?"
Nirmala simply fell silent and then took a breath trying to start a conversation with her personal assistant.
"I'm sorry if I asked aunty disrespectfully. But why for seventeen years aunty works here but aunty never wants to go home even when there is a big day event?"
"Will the lady fire me?" asked Bi Darsih sadly.
"How else, madam? I no longer have anyone there. My son has died with the mad woman and my husband has also been taken by the sombel wewe in the next village"
Nirmala was shocked by Bi Darsih's words about her family.
"Where can an aunt lose an aunt's child?"
"My son was kidnapped at the time of the baby by my severely stressed neighbor. She was a woman who had mental problems and when she found out I had given birth to a daughter, when I took warm water for my baby to shower, she said, the woman opened the wooden door of my unlocked home and took my daughter somewhere. My husband rarely came home, even when I gave birth he was not there. When my baby went missing I saw the woman and ran into the thick forest. I was helped by the people who did not find it until the next day I knew the news that the woman who had a mental problem died with a body stuck in the rock of the river under the bridge"
Nirmala was surprised and looked at Bi Darsih who was currently beside her.
The darkness of Mary's room made Nirmala able to control her shocked face so that it could not be seen by Bi Darsih.
"What else is going on, bi?" ask Nirmala to be curious.
"Yes that's how it is. My son was sure to die because the river under the bridge is quite heavy water because some hearts have been sigur rain, and a lot of large rocks there"
"Then aunt's husband why can be a little kidnapped wewe gombel?"
Bi Darsih was seen smiling a little and started to catch her breath.
"For my husband's story, my husband is a tempramental man and a very rude mistress. I married him because he was the son of my father's best friend and inevitably I had to marry him. My father and mother did not know that her son-in-law had bad habits because he was so good at acting and besides I was also afraid to tell him about the violence that I experienced because he often threatened to kill i'm. When I was about to give birth, she was known to be approaching the widow next door and the widow proudly told me that they were getting married. At first I did not believe as much as my husband was loyal although rude, but the next day my son died, I and the residents were quite surprised when they saw my husband and the widow were doing perverted and soon they were paraded around the village without clothes"
Nirmala was so sad to hear the story of her domestic assistant that she was unable to say a word.
"After that I who was hurt and sad finally chose a divorce and went to this area. Until I met my mistress and worked here until now. I never felt homesick because by remembering the incident only my heart had hurt. Especially if I have to go back there and meet with human hearts like they are. I've been quite happy living with the mistress and I promise to always be so sweet in this house before the mistress herself fires me"
Nirmala was moved to hear Bi Darsih's words and did not feel a clear circle dripping from her eyes. Nirmala was so amazed by Bi Darsih's loyalty all this time even he was always there when he was brewed though.
