Before 365 Days
47. Message from Mira

Marsel knocked on the door, then entered the room. There are already Mr. Kyai and Kang Ridwan. Meanwhile, Aziz, Dimas, and the two drivers are still resting.

Marsel gave the porridge to Wulan, who happened to be sitting next to the Rose.

Wulan then fed the Roses painfully.

"Thank you, ma'am" Mawa told Wulan.

"Together, War," said Wulan accompanied by a smile.

"What do you feel now, Rose boy?" ask Mr. Kyai.

"Thank God, that's good enough, sir! By the way, your voice is exactly like the voice of the person who led me to ...."

"Here you are, Mr. Kyai who deliberately helped you, War! And also, next to him, was Kang Ridwan. He also helped find a way for you," said Wulan.

"Oh so. I am very grateful to Mr. Kyai, and to Kang Ridwan, and to all of you who took part in the search, Rose! Roses are very happy to regroup here" said with teary eyes.

"Yes, you're welcome, Rose boy. Thank goodness you are good enough. Oh yes, for the body of your friend should be ...."

Not finished saying, Mawar cut off Mr. Kyai's sentence, and then got out of his bed, running out of the room looking for Mira's figure.

The two drivers, Aziz, and Dimas were shocked to hear the screams of the Rose.

"Mira! Mir, Mira," cried the Rose.

Everyone followed the rose from behind.

"Roses, wait," cried Wulan.

The rose was transfixed when he saw the body covered with the cloth, his knees were limp, tears came down from the pelupukannya. The rose could not hold back her tears.

Along with the Rose's cry, both of Mira's parents came. Adam, who was waiting outside, immediately let him in.

Umi Fatma and Abi Ilham were shocked because as soon as they entered, the sound of Rose crying filled the room. While others seem quiet.

"What's going on here, Mom?" ask Umi Fatma to Adam.

"Em, anu–emm– let's come with me, Umi, and also Abi," said Adam.

"But who owns this house? I feel bad" said Abi Ilham, refusing to go in.

"Yes, Mom! What is possible ..." Umi Fatma's sentence was cut off when she heard the sound of the Rose calling Mira's name.

"Miraaaaa ..." cried the Rose accompanied by a cry.

"Bi, Mira," muttered Umi Fatma while looking at Abi Ilham.

Abi Ilham and Umi Fatma looked at each other, with quick steps, they went inside, and saw many people there.

Umi Fatma approached Wulan who was holding the Rose.

"Son Wulan, what's wrong? Why ...."

"Umi, yes Alloh," Wulan then changed to embrace Umi Fatma.

Wulan stroked Umi Fatma's back, while, Umi Fatma still did not understand.

Abi Ilham then saw the body that was still covered in white cloth.

"I'm sorry, what's going on here? Whose body is lying there?" ask Abi Ilham.

"What are you, Mira's parents?" ask Mr. Kyai.

"Yes, we ourselves ... Coincidentally, Nak Wulan, contacted my wife, and told us to come over here immediately. And we don't know what's really going on, can you explain this to me?" ask Abi Ilham.

Mr. Kyai patted Abi Ilham's shoulder. "Patience and sincerity are the keys to staying true to our faith,"

Abi Ilham smiled, he did not understand what Mr. Kyai said. Wulan then let go of her embrace.

He stared into Umi Fatma's eyes.

"What's the matter, Wulan boy? I heard someone say a name, Mira!" answered Umi Fatma curiously.

"Umi, look at the body" Wulan said, pointing at Mira's body.

Umi Fatma swallowed her own saliva. She then got up and approached her husband.

"Abi ..." said Umi Fatma.

Abi Ilham nodded his head. The two of them then approached Mira's body slowly. While the others, just looked on with a thumping feeling. The rose still cries.

Abi ilham and Umi Fatma crouched down, and prepared to open the cloth that covered Mira's body.

Abi Ilham and Umi Fatma felt an unusual heartbeat. Their breath felt heavy, their bodies trembled, as their hands began to touch the cloth.

As soon as the cloth was opened, the two of them could not help but endure the deep shock. Their eyes were round, their mouths agape, tears settled in the eyes.

"Inalillahiroji'un, Inalillahiroji'un ..." murmured Abi Ilham with tears that began to collapse.

"Inalillahiroji'un, Mira ... My boy ... Yes Alloh, Mira ... Mira," Umi Fatma fell backwards, she could not help but cry, her joints felt weak.

Wulan then ran over to Umi Fatma.

"Umi, the strong one!" whispered Wulan.

"Yes, Miraaaa ...." Abi Ilham cried out in shock, seeing his son's terrible condition.

Abi Ilham could not hold back his tears. Her daughter of almost a year and more had left her with no news at all.

Now, he must see the reality of his son with a condition that makes him hurt. His heart was torn apart by many swords. His body as in skini saw the body of his own son who had been stretched stiff in a condition of concern.

Half of her hair is gone, a lot of bruising on Mira's body, with her clothes already torn in some parts.

Abi Ilham and Umi Fatma roared at Ruman's house. Everyone who watched suddenly became sad.

The curious neighbors, one by one, came to witness the incident.

Although they do not understand exactly what is happening, they are a little surprised to see the Rose that has returned.

Mr. Kyai allowed Mira's parents to feel calm first, before continuing the process of bathing and burying Mira's body.

***

Mira was later buried in TPU town K, close to the Mawar house complex. With Mira's condition that has been too long, it is not possible for Abi Ilham and Umi Fatma to bring Mira's body back and forth in the car.

They've been pretty sincere with the passing of Mira. The curious neighbors chose to stay in the Rose house, while wanting to steal what had happened to the Rose and the Mira.

Fortunately, Marsel and Adam took time off, so they did not have to worry at the PHK because they did not enter work.

"We've been sincere enough. Our do'a is granted Alloh. Yesterday, I ran out of the cottage, held a do'a together with the kyai, and the santri there, so that Mira would be found soon. And thank God, today, I got the news. I am very grateful to all of you who are here, who have participated in helping to find Mira, my son," said Abi Ilham slowly.

Everyone nodded and smiled towards Abi Ilham.

"Umi, Abi, Mira told me. Mira said she was grateful for all your sacrifices so far. And also, Mira apologizes for not being able to grant your request," Mawar said looking at Abi and Umi.

Umi Fatma tears back, she remembers when she and her husband were about to match Mira with their chosen man, and Mira refused her outright.

"Abi and Umi have forgiven all your mistakes, Mir," Umi Fatma said as she looked up.

"You know what you two are really going through?" abi Ilham asked representing the screams of the neighbors who were still gathered there.

Roses fell silent, he felt sad when he remembered the events in the house of Ndoro Kusuma.

"Please tell me, so that I am no longer selfish, if there are events like this again," Abi Ilham said with a pleading gaze.

Abi Ilham who did not believe in such supernatural things, he felt the need for enlightenment. Moreover, his own daughter who experienced it to death.

The rose slowly opened its mouth to tell a story.
