Where are you, Brother Jhana?


"It's been twelve and a half, but why hasn't he come back yet?" oceh Dina while reaching into her pants pocket to pick up her smartphone.


"Gosh, my cell phone battery's gone and it's dead. Can I borrow your charger?" ask Dina to Isa.


"Please" answered Isa. Dina then went into Isa's room and was followed by Isa.


Dina then walked towards the table that had 3 drawers next to Isa's bed.


"here, right?" ask Dina.


"Yes, but I forgot which drawer, hehe," said Isa.


"Huh," snorted Dina. He did not find Isa's charger in the first drawer, then he dismantled the second drawer and Isa seemed to not care about what Dina was doing, he just sat in his bed while playing mobile phone.


Dina stopped looking because she found something that caught her attention in the second drawer, a paper with beautiful writing.


"Will?" call Dina.


"Yes?" sahut Isa's.


"Is this a letter that Rashid left behind regarding his reason for committing suicide?"


Isa nodded.


"Why do you keep it?"


"Because by saving it, I will continue to feel the presence of Rashid in our family" answered Isa. Dina sat next to Isa and continued to read the last letter left by Rashid. After reading it, Dina looked at Isa, then hugged him because his emotions stirred up reading the letter.


"Have it, about it do not need to be discussed anymore," said Isa while replying to Dina's embrace.


"But do you hate Jhana?" ask Dina.


"Somehow, on the one hand I agree with mother's thinking, but on the other hand I'm curious about the reason for father's thinking, and want to follow him to be able to make a decision."


"What would you do if Jhana was alive?" dina asked as she let go of her embrace.


"Of course, I can't think of my steps to that extent."


"Do you forgive him?"


"We should all forgive him, if God alone can forgive, why should men hate each other? But the thing is, forgiving is the hardest thing to do ever."


"So you haven't forgiven him?"


"I thought, not yet."


"What about Rashid?"


"We all besides the father finally had the same thought about Rashid, that he was an innocent man who was only enslaved by his love for Jhana, and until now we still only misunderstand Jhana, for that we moved to Jogja because we do not want to imagine the painful past in the old mansion."


Dina was silent, then smiled. "Maybe I'd better continue your charger search" he said.


"Let me help" said Isa.


Jhana stopped walking because she was sleepy, she stopped in front of a large mosque.


'Where should I go? I want to sleep, I can't sleep in my rented house anymore, Dina will definitely find me there. Should I just rest in this mosque?' inner Jhana. He then went towards the mosque, then he sat down and leaned against a pillar, Jhana hugged his tote bag and slowly began to fall asleep.


The start clock shows at 23:50. Isa fell asleep next to Fina, while Dina was still very worried about Jhana who never returned to the Dhananjaya mansion even though he had gone back and forth to the gate.


Dina then returned to call Jhana, she was in the living room, and it seemed like everyone was asleep. But he still did not get an answer from Jhana.


'Did he turn off his phone?' inner Dina.


"Dina?" said Ny. Zemira who happened to pass by.


"You haven't come home yet? Aunty thought you were home, so auntie was wondering why you weren't saying goodbye" she continued. Zemira.


"Well, yes, bi, Dina is still here" said Dina.


"Then, where's Isa? Why don't you go home? Doesn't he want to drive you? Are you guys noisier? It's almost twelve."


"No, aunt, we're not making a fuss. Isa's asleep in his room, I'm just waiting for my friend to come back here."


"He hasn't come back yet?"


"Not yet."


"Where are the children?"


"The three of them slept with Isa."


Looked at the face of Mrs. Zemira changes when she gets an answer from Dina, and Dina is aware of that, she immediately switches the conversation.


"Auntie why did you wake up?" ask Dina.


"Suddenly the aunt felt thirsty, and woke up to drink, auntie saw the lights in this room light up, when Tantri should have turned it off, and you were here" she replied. Zemira.


"As for your friend, is it possible that she was kidnapped?" connect Ny. Zemira.


"abducted? By who?"


"Yes, maybe by the taxi driver. Why didn't you call the cab driver? He must have been the last person to come into contact with your friend before he disappeared like now."


"But, if you say Dina's friend was not kidnapped by the taxi driver how? You see, I've known the cab driver as a good person."


"Who knows, son, we cannot judge a person from the outside."


"Yes .. aunt is right. But, if I call her, doesn't that bother her?"


"If according to auntie, your friend will definitely not come back here again, it's almost five hours after her dinner started, if she's okay, then she'll definitely be back, she'll definitely be back, at least to pick up his kids."


"So, what should I do?"


"Wake Isa up, tell him to drive you home, and you take the kids home, who knows your friend is actually asleep in his house."


"Good, aunt."


"Good, at least the poor children will not be in this house any longer" murmured Mrs. Zemira.


"What, auntie?"


"I mean aunt, at least those kids will be quick to meet their mother."


"Oh, yes. Excuse me for going upstairs, yeah."


Mrs. Zemira.


Dina immediately walked to Isa's room and woke up her fiance and Jhana's children.


"Has your friend Jhana come?" ask Isa when he wakes up from his sleep.


Dina shakes. "No, yet" he answered.


"Then why did you wake us up?"


"Aunt Zemira said 'wake up Isa, have him drive you home and take the kids home, who knows if your friend is asleep in his house'. So I built your kam."


"Are we going home?" ask Mona.


"But what would we do if your friend wasn't in his house?" ask Isa.


"If only later, take us home first. It's twelve o'clock, I have to get up early for work, and I don't want to fall asleep when my lecturer teaches. So, better, take us, quick," said Dina.


"Huft, yes, yes," said Isa.


"Let's get off" Isa asked Jhana's children after retrieving her car keys.


They all went down to the 1st floor and saw Mrs. Zemira was waiting for them.


"I went to the garage first, yes," Isa told Dina.


While the children of Jhana away from Ms. Zemira. They stood to the left of Dina and dodged from Ny. Zemira who stood to the right of Dina.


The atmosphere became tense, because Mrs. Zemira knew that the children were avoiding her. Dina was aware of the situation and immediately opened her voice to melt the atmosphere.


"Ng, auntie, is Brother Arvin home yet?"


"She was home when the dinner was going on" she replied. Zemira.


"Huh? Why didn't he join?"


"Son, you know how Arvin was, auntie also actually wanted him to join, but he's now very different from he used to be. Now he is very stubborn, and his desire must be fulfilled, if he does not want to, yes he will not want to even be forced and continue to be forced, when in the past he was not like that. He used to love joining his family."


Dina smile. "That guy changed yeah, aunt."


"Yes, my aunt doesn't understand why it's like that either."


A moment later, the sound of a car horn was heard, and everyone knew that it was a signal from Isa.


"Auntie, I say goodbye, yes" said Dina.


Mrs. Zemira smiles. "Dream beautiful when you sleep."


"Let's say goodbye to aunt Zemira, or you can call her a grandmother" Dina told the children of Jhana.


"W-we're home, thanks for dinner," said Fina, but Ms. Zemira was silent.


Dina knows that Mrs. Zemira ignored Fina's words.


"Aunty, we're gone, yes" Dina said as she walked.


"Yes, come again another time yes, Dina," said Ny. Zemira.


"I'll work on it" said Dina as she opened Isa's car door.


The clock was pointed at 00:30, within half an hour, Isa had driven his car to the urban area. Mona, Fina and Zhani had fallen asleep on the middle bench, while Dina was asleep on the front bench, next to her. Only slow music from the radio accompanied Isa, he did not know where to go first, and then woke up his fiancee while waiting for the traffic light in green.


"Dina, dina." Isa patted Dina's shoulder.


"Hm?" sahut Dina with eyes that are still sullen.


"I don't know where we're going to go, to your hostel or their rented house, I just know your hostel."


"Eh? Already out of your mansion area?" Dina then became literate.


"Yes, it was about two minutes ago."


"Then we go to these kids' houses first. From here just straight up to a hundred meters, then there is a crossroad, turn left, just straight up to fifty meters, then turn right, straight again three hundred meters, and, after three hundred meters, there was a minimarket of twenty-four hours, next to it was a big alley, go in there, straight away, their house was at the end. And let me continue my sleep," explained Dina who immediately continued her sleep.


"Huft, if you remember an address that easily. He thought I would remember it, fortunately there was a minimarket, so I would just change my destination, I would go there and see the alley" Isa murmured, he started his car after the red light changed to the green light.


About ten minutes later, finally Isa managed to find the minimarket referred to by Dina, he also saw an alley next to the minimarket and entered it. Isa yawned, though his head was still swaying due to the legendary Bohemian Rhapsody song, with a small volume.


Soon, he managed to get to the end of the alley and saw a small house that he thought was a rented house for children sitting in the middle of his car. Isa then patted Dina on the shoulder again, and Dina woke up.


"Is this their home?" ask Isa.


"Hmm, yes, you are indeed smart," replied Dina who was not yet fully aware.


"Let's get out" said Isa.


"You kicked me out?!" sewot Dina who instantly widened her eyes.


"Shhhhttt. I mean let's go out and see if your friends are in the house or not" said Isa, who was afraid that Mona, Fina and Zhani would wake up because of Dina's voice.


"You are indeed the best excuse maker in the world" whispered Dina, who then got out of the car


"That's what we have to do" murmured Isa who was upset.


Dina then knocked on the door of the rented house that Jhana lived in, Isa then followed him.


Because he never got a response, Dina knocked him again.


"Is he probably asleep?" Isa.


"Of course."


There was still no reply from within even though Isa and Dina had already waited for a few minutes.


The boredom and fad that was mixed made Isa pressed the door of the house, and they were both surprised because it turned out that the door was not locked and the house was in complete darkness on the inside.


"Hello? Brother Jhana?" call Dina.


"Is there anyone inside?" says Isa.


Unauthorized, Dina took off her shoes and entered the house, and Jesus took off her shoes and followed her. Dina then turned on the lights in the living room, the earliest room of the house. But suddenly Jesus held him back.


"Wait!"


"What?" ask Dina.


"What if your friend is murdered and his body is put in this house and then the killer leaves, so the door of this house is not locked."


"Curl! Don't think negative!" Dina felt furious.


"Ok, okay."


Then the two of them walked towards the central space bounded by a wall with an initial space at the end of which there was a doorless passage which could allow them to enter the middle room. From here, Dina started to gurgle, and all Isa did was close his eyes because his heart rate became faster and continued to get faster.


Dina was holding the middle room light switch, and was gathering courage to suppress it, what else suddenly Dina remembered the words of Isa earlier.


'What if your friend is killed and his body is put in this house and then the killer leaves, so the door of this house is not locked.'


The words kept ringing in his mind.


'Argh! Why am I thinking about what Isa said? Why am I suddenly so nervous and scared?' inner Dina.


'Don't the body, not the body, not the body, I'm not ready to see the murder case directly, ' Isa thought.


Dina then closed her eyes because she began to feel creepy and scared, after closing her eyes, she pressed the switch.


Isa and Dina opened their eyes slowly, and were very surprised by what was in the living room.


"What's going on here?" said Isa, who was so surprised to see the room, that he did not blink at all.


"I. .. do not believe this," said Dina who was also very surprised to not blink at all.
