Satria arrived home at dusk. He saw the renovation of his house has shown hadil. He plans to add a handyman to be finished quickly.
"Assalammulaikum, ma'am." said Satria while Meyalim Mala.
"Waalaikumsalam dear.." Mala replied with a warm smile.
Satria entered her room, changed her clothes and immediately rushed to see Roni, her father in the room.
He opened the door, then entered and stepped over to Roni who was sitting leaning against the bed.
"Dad.. We take a bath, it's late afternoon..?" Satria coaxed gently.
Satria and Mala share the task of bathing Roni. The morning is done by Mala, and the afternoon is done by Satria.
Roni was silent, he did not flinch. It was as if Satria's invitation was just a humming that was comforting him, not an invitation or command.
Satria tried to sigh, then find a way for the father to be invited to take a bath.
"kriiiiiiing"
The call came from Hadi's number.
Satria picked him up, then moved from her parents' room.
"Yes Di.. What's up..?" ask Satria gently.
"Sister.. That creature has gone too far..! Can it not be destroyed..?" hafi said with a trembling voice.
Satria was silent, He had to give an answer that could be an encouragement for Hadi, but also not too fond of hope.
"No, but you also have to help and don't forget to keep thinking" replied Satria trying to give the best answer.
"He continues to terrorize me." said Hadi with a pounding tone.
"have you bathed Shinta with a squeeze of bidara leaves..?" ask Satria in full search..
"Sorry brother, I forgot.." replied Hadi regretfully.
Satria was silent for a moment."Hadi, it is better to prevent than to treat" said Satria reminded.
"Yes, sorry. Later Hadi will order the leaves of his mouth, and will be bathed directly to Shinta." replied Hadi.
"alright.. For the time being, that alone may be enough. Don't forget to always do miser."Satria's message to Hadi.
"ok Brother.." Answer Hadi .
Satria cut off her phone connection. He remembered his grandfather's message asking him to sign.
Nin Qorin Mbah Karso had reminded him to agree to destroy the Nini Maru which was already very troubling and create chaos.
However, currently Satria still has humanitarian affairs that must also be completed simultaneously. He should prioritize public interest matters over his personal interests.
After this, he will ask for some time off to be able to do tirakat.
Satria went back to her mother's room. He found Mala the Mother cleaning the Father with a wet cloth. Maybe because his father did not want to take a bath, Mala chose to mop it with a wet cloth.
Satria approached his mother, "Sorry Mom, Satria had a bad business" said Satria felt guilty.
"it's okay.. After all, this is my duty." Mala replied gently.
"Yes.. But it should be Satria's turn to bathe Dad." said Satria softly.
"It's been.. Do not think, while you are still healthy and strong is not a problem. Because in the end I will also do it myself, I can't continue to depend on you." Mala said without looking at Satria.
Satria frowned. "Why did Mom say that." asked Satria curiously.
"Because there are times when you will get married, then have your own family, and of course you will be busy with your family, Just like Hadi now.." Answer Mala clearly.
Deeeeeegh's...
Married that word that until now had not been thought of. Even that love had not yet come into his heart. Then how will He know who will be his wife.
Satria. He also thought about the condition of the Mother if she also married and away from her Mother. He hopes that if he finds a life partner, the woman can understand his current condition.
Satria hoped that his wife would accept the condition of her family as it is.
Well.. A dream that is still in his imagination.
Satria looked at Roni with a million meanings. He saw the silhouette of that face again.
Satria saw a murder in the room, where he vaguely saw a grown man smashing a bisball stick at a man with his back head.
Satria was stunned, then looked at his father, there was an erratic beat propagating in his head.
"No. This is impossible." said Satria terbata.
Then Mala came back to the room, he looked at his mother's face with question marks.
The Mala he stared at instantly became confused.
The eyes of Satria were different from usual. Look at those eyes as if asking for honesty.
Mala was a little clumsy with Satria's gaze which she thought was very different.
"Lady..."
"Yes.."
"There is something Satria wants to ask about." said Satria as calmly as possible..
"Yes.. What's that..?"
"Emmmm.." Satria's speech stopped when the incision was heard the sound of adzan maghrib chanting.
Satria fell silent, then listened to the chant of the Adhan.
After finishing the Adhan, Satria looked at her mother with a gaze asking for an answer.
"Satria wants to pray first ma'am.. There will be something Satria wants to ask." he said softly.
Satria went from his mother's room to the kitchen and sanctified to perform the Maghrib prayer.
meanwhile, Mala was still troubled by what had just happened.
"What exactly does Satria want to ask..? Why does he seem so serious..?" Mala wondered in her heart.
Mala left her room and went to the kitchen to go to the bathroom and wash.
🐛🐛🐛👻👻👻👻🐛🐛🐛
"Mom.. Someone wants Satria to ask." said Satria when he saw Mala had been relaxing in the guest room while watching television.
Mala turned to Satria, her son came to her and sat by her side.
"Yes.. Ask.." said Mala who was also curious since then.
"Previously Satria apologized if Satria's question offended Mother" Satria said calmly.
Mala nodded her head.
Satria took her breath very heavily. Then gently avoid it.
"Satria saw a shadow of a murder at a two-story house near the puskesmas.." Satria said as calmly as possible.
Deeeeeegggh...
Mala's heart stopped. Debaran in his chest increasingly roaring irregularly.
"Ma..you mean a.what..?" asked Mala with a stammer.
He could not hide his terrible feelings.
"Was there before a terrible money tragedy in this village before Satria came here for the first time..?" satria said very calmly.
Mala looked agitated, She was so afraid to tell her son the truth. He was afraid if until Satria felt lost his sympathy.
Satria who tried to read the contents of Mala's heart and mind, felt very shocked and flabbergasted. But he wanted a confession straight from his mother's mouth.
"Actually.. Your father.." Mala's voice seemed to be stuck in his throat, his tongue as if unable to speak, He was so very depressed.
