A Substitute
Missed you

Twenty-two years ago. Just when the age of the child of the couple Anggara and Naya was 1 year old.

Darsih who was passing through their house saw a couple who seemed to have a relationship with them.

There, they were seen handing over a daughter who was approximately 1 year old. The child was seen crying screaming when it was carried by the guest couple. However, the mother could only cry and hug her husband.

And after that, the guest couple immediately went to bring the child who was still crying hysterically because he had to part with his parents. Your partner also went by car, while Anggara and Naya could only cry lamenting the departure of his daughter.

Darsih who does not interfere too much with the affairs of others just pass by and keep what he sees for himself. Others are just with other neighbors who look to be peering from the yard of their respective homes to find out what really happened.

Until at night, when heavy rain and electricity in the area was extinguished, everyone slept in their sleep. However, at Anggara and Naya's house, there was a commotion where several large-bodied men came and attacked them. The rush of rain and the distance of the house that is quite far from the neighbors make their screams not heard by anyone.

Until when Darsih woke up because he forgot to lock the gate, he also saw from a distance that there were some people who came out of Anggara and Naya's house using a Jeep car. They were four people with large bodies. One of them had a tattoo on his right hand. The tattoo is large enough to be seen from a distance. And Darsih is convinced that the tattoo is dragon-shaped.

He did not respond as it was possible that it was their guest. Until the next day where the village was in an uproar because of the discovery of two bodies namely Anggara and Naya in a very alarming state where they suffered stab wounds in the body. And their position at that time hugged each other. It seemed like when they were dying, they tried to reach out to each other until they finally embraced for the last time.

When the police investigated the case, they found no clues, not even fingerprints because the murder was very neat. While Darsih who became the only witness who knew about the perpetrator just silent and as if not know.

Not because you have no conscience. Only, he was afraid that if he became a witness, then he would experience a lot of terror from the culprit. Moreover, he only lives alone with the child who had been left by his father while still in the womb.

"That's the story, son Davin." Darsih ends the story.

Davin wiped the corner of his eye. What if Light knew that his parents died in such a horrible way?

"Yes, everyone in this village knows that almost every week they are visited by neatly dressed people who they suspect are debt collectors. Many even think that the culprit is them. However, the police were unable to prove it as they found nothing at the scene. Even ordinary people coming to their homes are not the culprits."

"Oh yeah, do you know what their son's name is?"

"Yes, his name is Mentari."

"Yes, Mom, but now the name has changed."

"What?"

"Huh? What's-her-name? And how do you know?"

"The name is Light of the Mentari. And right now he's in my car."

"What?"
