MY name is Naima
My mission
The accidental encounter with the sister's spirit occurred last week when my mother first invited me to play in the park. There I accidentally found a doll tied to a spell while I was playing, hidden under a large banyan tree, in the middle of the park. The banyan tree is surrounded by a fence. Since my body is small, I can break through the fence that has that hole. Without me realizing I had freed her spirit that was shackled in the doll.
This morning, I woke up early, I took a shower, and changed clothes. This morning I was not wearing a school uniform but wearing a t-shirt and jeans. This morning I called my new driver to come home at eight in the morning. After that I went down the stairs of my house and headed to the kitchen, I knew that Ms. Warti must be cooking, because the clock on the wall shows at 5.30 WIB at this time.
"Tumben you're awake Naima?" mbok said that as if knowing my arrival.
" Yes mbok, mbok Warti what is my license has been done?, let later be taken by a new driver to be escorted to school" asked me on mbok Warti.
" It's hard" replied Ms. Warti while smiling at me.
Today I help Ms. Warti. Actually mbok Warti feel bad about my attitude, but I still force mbok Warti to let me help him.
And he just let me wash the vegetables, "yes that's not what "I said in my heart. I didn't see that brother this morning. After I helped wash the vegetables I chose to sit in the living room and read my favorite comics. At 06.30 mbok Warti approached me asking me to immediately have breakfast, I immediately stood up and walked towards the dining room with mbok Warti. On the table is available my favorite vegetable soup, fried chicken, tomato sauce and crackers bandung.
" Yummy ..it's delicious mbok, come eat with me" I said to Msbok Warti
" Come on, sit here beside me, we'll eat together" I repeated my invitation.
Ms. Warti shook her head, but I led Ms. Warti to sit next to me.
" If Ningsih's mother knows this, Ningsih's mother must be very angry son" replied Ms. Warti. (admonished me as she shifted the chair beside me and sat there).
"Mother no mbok, mbok Warti don't worry I won't tell mother anything" I replied assured mbok Warti. Because I saw that Barti's face looked scared so I tried to calm her down.
Ms. Warti lowered her head, suddenly she said "Perhaps if my granddaughter and son are still alive, you wouldn't be alone like this, and right now maybe my granddaughter is about your age" warti said stammering, her tears dripping down her cheeks, I stood up and I wiped her tears, I hugged her and said "Mbok think of me like your granddaughter mbok". Mbok Warti smiled and nodded, here I gave up my social status as a master's daughter with a nanny, I only see Ms. Warti as a parent who needs affection in the solitude of her life, I just see her as a parent, I see Ms. Warti as someone who is very meritorious in my life, I consider Msbok Warti as my own grandmother and I love her.
" Mom, I'm hungry let's eat, invite me to restore the situation so as not to be too late in sadness. Mbok then got up and wanted to serve me with rice and side dishes, I immediately refused my hand to take a rice spoon and today I serve warti as a grandson. We ate while a little joking, mbok laughed off hearing my story, saw the look on the face mbok Warti who was old was so happy.
After we finished eating, I cleaned the tableware I used today, I forbade Msbok Warti to wash it, this time I washed all the eating and drinking utensils we used earlier.
"Son, why don't you eat the fruit? Why don't you drink the milk? " ask Ms. Warti to me.
" I'm sorry mbok, I'm full, fruit and milk for mbok only" I replied briefly.
"But son?"
"Nothing but, mbok must be willing to eat fruit and drink milk. Mbok I will read the comic in the family room later if the new driver mom comes, please I was told mbok" I said in a childish tone, mbok just smile and understand my character.
At exactly 08.00 WIB, the old woman came over to me saying that my mother's new driver had arrived. I immediately ran to my room and mbok several times yelled at me not to run while climbing the stairs, because he was afraid that I would fall.But I was too excited not to listen to the words of Ms. Warti, who was too excited, in the room I took my beloved sling bag and I started to put in important things for me, like my phone, my wallet containing an ATM and some money and photos of my father and mother.
I also walked down the stairs and I saw that Ms. Warti had been waiting for me at the door.
" Where are you going, son?" askinya.
"I'll be adventuring for a while, Mbok "my answer was short .
"I must have gone home before 19:00 WIB, I must not ask me, I will go with my new driver and I will be fine" I said trying to convince.
"Hmm.." said mbok Warti while shaking his head. I kissed the hand of my babysitter Warti. And Mbok Warti said" Be careful, son".
Mr. Gun, is the name of my new driver, Pak Gun opened the car door and I also entered and sat in the middle seat.
"Sister, how am I supposed to find your body?" my question is in my heart.
"Where are we going, Miss Naima? " ask Gun sir to me.
" Mister Gun just drive the car, sir, I will be the guide" I said briefly.
" Gun sir, didn't ask much and he followed all my directions. After 1 hour drive I asked Mr. Gun to stop at a bridge, I asked him to park the car in a safe place.
"Why are we here, Miss Naima? This is not a beautiful place, this is also not a place of recreation, not a vehicle to play children" asked Gun sir seemed confused.
"Sir Gun, just follow me" I said.
" Where is Naima going?below that is the abyss, very dangerous for a little boy like you!" mr. Gun said he tried to advise me and tried to stop my steps, but I kept walking and, by force, Mr. Gun, followed me from behind. I also walked down the path between the lush foliage of trees and deeper into. And finally in a big tree the brother's spirit stopped, he pointed to a stone in front of the tree and asked me to dig.
"This is my stupidity, why I don't carry any tools" I said in my heart
I'm trying to find a dry tree branch strong enough to dig. Mr. Gun was confused by my attitude, and then he tried to help me.
" Mr. Gun help mbak" said Mr. Gun while helping me to dig the land, fortunately the soil there is not too hard, with a makeshift tool we dig, with the, almost 1 hour we dug with a makeshift tool, and visible human skull, there is still hair that has been removed from the head.
"Astagfirullah" said Gun sir surprised.
"Mr Naima is looking for this? " ask Gun sir.
" Yes sir, he asked me to find every part of his body "I said innocently.
" Sir, let's get this head in the car" I said, pleading.
"No, Mr. Naima, I will call the police and turn the case over to the authorities" Gun replied firmly.
I was silent, then 30 minutes later the local police had headed to the TKP skull discovery earlier and evacuated the pieces of the head that had become the skull and hair left. I saw Mr. Gun telling a police officer the chronology of the incident and after he finished talking he approached me, then he asked me how I could find the skull, I was just saying that he (the brother's spirit) asked me to find his body, put it together and buried it properly, the policeman recorded all my words and as the police were about to shower me with questions, mr. Gun stopped the conversation, he explained that I was just a child, then this case became the duty of the police. Honestly I was afraid of all this, I was involved in a problem, but I promised to help him and I made this promise." Please take us to two different places, to pick up another body piece" I said begging.
They looked at me, between doubt and conviction. My hand is holding Gun's hand.
"Sir Gun, please trust me one more time" I asked.
Gun tried to convince the police to escort us to two different places. The distance from TKP 1 to TKP 2 only takes 1 hour to travel, this time the search and excavation process goes more easily, we found body parts and hand parts in a tree near the spring, then we headed to TKP 3 on the side of the motorway, under which the tree was found, today all the promises have been kept, relieved to feel . Gun sir, looks exhausted. Mr. Gun gave the case to the police to handle it. And explained that for the next time I should not be involved in this matter. When we finished, we said goodbye.
" Police man, thank you for the help "I said with joy.
The policeman smiled and stroked my head while saying "Same beautiful sister".
After that, Gun and I went home.
" Mad Naima must be hungry? Let's eat first" said Gun sir.
" Today I'm not hungry, Gun sir eat, I pay you" I said innocently.
"Huh.ha.ha! " mr. Gun laughed loudly.
"No need to be Naima, Naima's mother has paid me high, and that salary I never get from other places where I used to work.
I fell silent, tired and fell asleep on the way home.
