Before 365 Days
77. Ready to Run Mission

The rose was silent, and then asked Mr. Ahmad.

"Sir, can't Jamilah die?" ask Roses.

"Can, of course you can. We just need to find the weak point," said Mr. Ahmad.

"Then, where's the weakness, sir?" ask Ruman.

"There's on his face. The way, by watering the ari-ari that has turned into soil. Ari-ari itself, is the Rose that he was looking for. Unfortunately, the condition of the ari-ari is still alive. It has not been turned into land" said Mr. Ahmad.

"Ten years, sir! How could the ari-ari still remain the same?" ask Ruman.

"I told you that, because the ari-ari was buried with Mada, which means that the ari-ari was guarded by Mada, to stay alive. To turn the ari-ari into land is very easy. That is by moving Mada's body, to a public tomb usually. Bathe him again, sholate him again, and do not forget to make a salutation for him. Do'a that's the most important thing,"

"Yes, Bambang once said that Mada does not have a home. His parents did not want to make a home for him. Does that mean a real grave, sir?" ask Marsel.

"Yes right. Oh yeah, who do you call that, Bambang. Is he the guy who checks into the kitchen when there's the sound of stuff falling?" ask Mr. Ahmad.

"Yes, Sir! Right enough. He could see Mada. If Mada is good, he will come in his white robe, if he is evil, he will come in his black robe" said Marsel.

"Yes, I understand. Mada likes it, Bambang. Mada will not pursue Marsel, and take him from you, Nak Mawar, if Bambang wants to marry him. But, it is impossible, the nature will be different," said Mr. Ahmad.

"What, Mada likes Bambang?" ask Ruman.

"The person Mada will listen to, is only Bambang now. If Bambang succeeds in persuading him, it will make it easier for us to dig up Mada's body and ari-ari. I'm sure it's under that mango tree, sir. Would you be willing if we cut down the mango tree?"

"Of course I totally agree, sir! The tree had been wanting me to cut down for a long time. But, every time it is cut down, the tree always grows again and again. Mending if it bears fruit, does not bear fruit at all" explained Ruman.

"Yes, underneath will be your daughter's body. He's the one standing guard there. In the absence of fruit, it means he managed to keep his ari-ariya alive" said Mr. Ahmad.

"You see, we must immediately launch this mission sir, two more days of the Rose wedding. My family and I shouldn't go here either. We have to stay home,"

"It's okay, sir! Let it be the subject of people for a moment. For the good of all of us,"

"For the invitation, I have to notify all guests if the event is postponed. But with such a short time, how can I?"

"Tell the Father's men to do the job. Father and we have to take care of this. If we can now also do the cutting of the mango tree," said Mr. Ahmad.

"But we shouldn't rest first, sir. Sleep briefly. So that the energy can be collected," said Bu Ahmad.

"Yes, yeah. Let's take a break, sir, ma'am. After dawn, we go straight there together. And also call the Bambang to participate," said Mr. Ahmad.

Before actually taking a break, Mr. Ruman immediately contacted Bambang to go to his house after dawn. Ruman also contacted the staff and other members, to inform all the guests he invited and all the rent mixed, catering, and others, that the recipe was postponed by another week.

Ruman hopes they all want to understand the circumstances he is living.

"Let there be gossip out there for me. All this for the sake of my family," said Mr. Ruman.

After he finished doing his job, Ruman immediately followed the others for a break. Even though he was no longer sleepy.

***

After finishing the morning prayer, where the day was still a little dark, Ruman family and family of Mr. Ahmad, immediately headed to Ruman's house to do his mission.

Ahmad hoped the plan would work. Today should be the day that the Roses finish Midodareni. And again busy. The sudden resignation of Ruman left the entire party in shock. Moreover, such as the sound system that has been installed, decor, and tents. They get upset with Ruman. However, after being explained in more detail, they were finally willing to understand.

Even though Ruman's house is simple, he is a person who is. Paying the rent in a week is definitely worth it.

Ruman's entourage finally arrived in front of the house, Bambang apparently had arrived first. Bambang is still sitting on his motorcycle seat and does not enter directly even though the fence is wide open.

Mr. Ruman's car immediately entered the yard. Bambang is still standing outside the fence.

"Bang, why are you still there? Let's go quickly in" said Mr. Ruman.

"Yes, Sir! I was waiting for you guys. I saw my father in calling me. But I remember being at Mas Marsel's house, so I waited here. Just in case," said Bambang.

Bambang did not bring the motor inside. He deliberately parked his motorcycle outside.

Ahmad smiled at Bambang. He then approached Bambang and patted him on the shoulder.

"Son Bambang, did you see anything other than Mr Ruman?" ask Mr. Ahmad.

Apparently everyone already knows, Bambang decided to be honest.

"There's Mada, she's wearing a different robe. He was wearing a white robe, but now a black robe. He looked angry, sir!" terang Bambang's.

"Where is he now?" ask Mr. Ahmad.

"He was standing at the door" said Bambang, pointing at the door that was already wide open.

Everyone stared at the door, which turned out to be no one there. Suddenly, Bi Minah came out from inside still using her face. Bi Minah was shocked to learn her boss was outside with the Marsel family.

"Astagfirullohal! Father, mother, Mother Rose! Why are you guys here? Bareng Mas Marsel and ... Father, mother," Bi Minah saluted Marsel's parents.

Bi Minah then joined those who were still standing in the courtyard.

"Is there something, Bi?" ask Ruman.

"Yes there must be. I know if you guys are going. I went back and forth to tell the nyiapin sesajen with the grandmother, who resembles the father," replied Bi Minah.

"Koq know that's not me, Bi?" ruman asked with a smile.

"Surely you know, sir! I never asked you to make a sesajen. Not to mention, from the Rose Mother's room, there were screaming in pain. Say no, do not want," said Bi Minah again.

"That's Mada, Bi. He will be tortured by Nek Jamilah if he fights back. Mada must become a human first in order to take the object targeted by Nek Jamilah. But Mada would not. Mada told me when she turned good. Mada will stop disturbing if he has been given a decent home," said Bambang felt sad.

"Just right! Immediately look for equipment to cut down and dig the soil under the mango tree, Mr. Ruman," said Mr. Ahmad.

"Good, Sir!" answer Ruman quickly.

"But wait, I forgot to tell you. In acting always read the verse of the chair slowly and eloquently. We'll shut each other up later. If anyone bothers by calling, we just shut up. Continue to focus on reading the verse of the chair, so that the grandmother can not resemble our form. You gotit? Does anyone not remember that verse?" ask Ahmad to everyone.

"Good insha, we memorized everything, sir!" answer Ruman represents.

"Alright, if everything has been memorized, from now on, at this moment, we must recite the verse. We can catch it if we want to drink, eat, or go to the toilet. After that, go on again. Because all of us here are already involved. You understand!" sir Ahmad.

Everyone nodded. Mr. Ahmad and others finally began to recite the verse slowly and eloquently.

Mr. Ahmad stared at the roof of Mr. Ruman's house, which turned out there was Nek Jamilah who looked angry at his arrival.
