I woke up from my sleep, I felt fresher and I was surprised I had been on top of my own bed.
" Lo, am I in the room?" i said wonder.
And I opened the curtains of my room, it was morning. Suddenly I remembered my license, I jumped out of bed, and I came out of my room, and I quickly climbed the stairs.
" Mbok...hudge ...pulp!" I shouted out, but there was no answer.
I ran towards the kitchen, there was only a vegetable stew on the stove with a small burning fire that was deliberately left behind.
I ran to my room when I knocked on the door and I called her name but there was no answer, "Say that Ms. Warti is not in her room" I said in my heart.
I ran to Mr. Karjo's room, I knocked on his door there was no answer as well, I ran from one room to another, everything was empty, I was confused.
In the midst of my confusion, a hand slapped my shoulder.
" Eh it turns out to be the mbok" I said a little surprised.
" This morning I was screaming and running, what's going on?" ask Ms. Warti to me.
" Mom, has my license been delivered to school? Sorry yesterday I forgot to ask for the letter from msbok Warti "I said with a sorry face.
Seeing my face, Warti smiled.
" Already, yesterday Mr. Karjo delivered your license to the school ".
Hearing all that, I could breathe with relief.
"Hurry to shower and change clothes keep eating."
I just nodded my head to say something, Warti, I walked to my room, this time I didn't run. Arriving in the room, I sat on my bed, trying to remember all the events of yesterday that I had gone through, my heart kept asking why there were people who were so evil and hearted like the devil, he said, is not killing a great sin, especially to cut the dead body that is lifeless, maybe for other little children they will be scared but because I often see things like that I am getting used to it even though I do not like to see things like that.
Fate has made me have to see all this, when it should be at my young age I need to play happily with my friends, get the attention of my parents, I can only socialize with my friends at school.
"Let's take a bath Naima, today you have to keep your second promise" I said in my heart trying to motivate myself.
I got up and went to the bathroom. Fresh water washed my body, I washed my body with my favorite soap and washed my hair with shampoo.
" Fresh.." I said as I dried my body with a towel. After that I change clothes, this time I wear my long skirt and short-sleeved shirt, I like something simple, this time I am lazy to go up and down the stairs, so my slingbag yesterday I brought you guys. After dressing up I came out of the room and headed for the dining room.
" Let's eat, son" said mbok to me.
"Yes, but we eat together, as long as you're not around, you can eat with me"
Mbok Warti nodded.
" Where are you going today, son?" tanya mbok Warti looks astonished
" Mom today I'm going to a grandmother's house, and see a sister" I said innocently.
" Today Gun and I found a body piece" I explained.
" Body cut?" mbok Warti is confused.
I looked towards Barti, by looking at her face I knew that she was astonished and hesitant.
"Heehehe let's eat,enak ..enak mbok" I said trying to divert the conversation.
This time I was not allowed to help Msbok Harti wash dishes. I just saw it. After I finished washing the dishes I invited Msbok Warti to watch TV.
Although I am different, actually my attitude is not much different from that of a child my age.
Time showed at 08.00 WIB, like yesterday Gun sir came to pick me up, as usual mbok Warti would take me out and I kissed his hand, that I do if my mother is not at home, if you were there, she would be very angry with me.
Mr. Gun, get out of the car and open the car door for me, like yesterday I chose to sit in the middle of my car.
" Sir Gun, this morning I woke up from my sleep, how come I was in the room?" ask me to start the conversation.
"Yesterday, Naimanya slept well so Mr. Gun, did not have the heart to wake you " replied Mr. Gun.
" Who's taking me to my room?" my many.
"I'm Naima myself" replied Gun
"Thank you Gun" I replied
" Today we go to a grandmother's house, and look for a young man" I said
Mr. Gun, just nodding his head, without daring him to ask questions, because from the beginning I've told Mr. Gun, not to ask a lot just follow my instructions.
Like yesterday the spirit of my brother led us, from the highway the car started to go into the alley. It turned out that to go to the grandmother's house, my car could not get in, so we had to walk through the narrow street. After walking for 500 meters, I arrived in front of a house, where the brother's spirit stopped. I looked at the wooden house, very simply, the walls were made of bamboo, the base of the house was from the ground. Much different than other homes. It feels sad to see him.
Tok...tok.tok I knocked on the door of the house .
An old granny, with a slightly bent body opened the door.
"Look son, we'll just talk inside" the grandmother told me.
Gun and I entered the house, in the living room there was only a mat on the ground and it was worn out. I saw a table of wood, on it was a picture of the brother, a picture of the sister with the grandmother.
" Mr, is that a picture of my sister? When was the photo taken ? " just ask grandma.
Grandma's eyes were glazed.
" 7 months ago Tika invited grandma to take pictures, he said that if her grandmother misses her, grandmother can see this photo son, Tika is diligent, beautiful and smart child" said the grandmother explained.
" What's your name, son?" ask the grandmother.
"My name is Naima, Grandma" I replied
" Granny, live in this house with sister Tika? my many.
"Yes son, grandma lives with Tika, she is the life expectancy of her only grandmother, all this time Tika who fought hard, after school Tika must have come to trade around, she also work odd jobs, son, sometimes told to wash and iron in people's homes, sometimes clean people's houses, whatever he will do halal origin, Tika forbid grandmother to beg son.But these 6 months, When leaving grandma son, Tika, grandma looked for where, but didn't see."
" Grandmother in fact, I never knew big sister Tika, but I was able to come here because of the spirit of big sister Tika who led me here." I said with a little fear.
What was on my mind was right, grandma was crying, me and Gun tried to calm her down. And several times the grandmother fainted, the screams and cries of the grandmother caught the attention of the neighbors around and some people had already gathered at the grandmother's house to see what was happening, she said, one of them approached Mr. Gun trying to figure out what was happening, Gun explained all the events in detail, from the very beginning of the discovery of the body piece that had become the skeleton. Until we came to my grandmother's house. Then the man approached Tika's grandmother and gave her advice. The man also asked us to take us to the police station for an explanation.
Me and Gun agreed to the father's request, the four of us headed to the police station. In 30 minutes, we arrived.
We also went to the criminal investigation section, there found new evidence of a dress and ring, the police showed the evidence to the grandmother, the grandmother's crying broke again. Mr. Gun was continuing the conversation, while me and the father invited grandma to leave the room.
Grandma forced to see the body of her grandson, but the father explained that based on the characteristics that exist, it is true grandchildren grandmother, and later the body will be delivered to the grandmother's house after the autopsy.
We went back to my grandmother's house, before we got to my grandmother's house I asked Mr. Gun, to stop at the nearest ATM, I would take the money I said
Mr. Gun, stop the car and I'm withdrawing 10 million in cash at the ATM. A kid my age can have that kind of money? That's because my mother's money is not too stingy, she always gives pocket money that is not like a child in general.
"Good sling bag I fit to save this money" I said in my heart. After that we went to Grandma's house. Arriving at the grandmother's house, I waited for the grandmother to be calmer, and some neighbors were already at the grandmother's house, seeing the grandmother rather calm I told her that the spirit of the sister wanted me to meet her lover, she said, before that I also told my grandmother that my sister loved my grandmother very much.
"Son, without grandchildren, what can grandmother live and how can grandmother live, if the only spirit in grandmother's life is gone. Moreover, she had to leave in this way" said the grandmother suddenly, I could feel all the grievances of the grandmother, but I could do nothing to change things.
I can't stay for long, I say goodbye to my grandmother. When I was about to leave the place, suddenly Grandma stopped my steps and Gun sir.
" Wait son, there is something I want to leave for you to give to Lintang" said grandma, she also went into the house, and came out again while carrying a box wrapped in gift paper.
Grandma handed the parcel to me and said: "Tika once said this gift to the best man of her life, she once told me a little about Lintang, that at school he was the boy who often helped her, maybe this Latang was Tika's lover" said the grandmother.
I just nodded, and before I left I gave my grandmother the 10 million I had taken from the ATM earlier, for the funeral expenses of my sister or for anything important I sincerely gave it to her, I wish I could help Grandma as much as I could.
Grandma refused the money I gave her, I forced her and finally she accepted, Grandma hugged me and kissed me on the cheek. We also continued the journey to find Kak Lintang, the spirit of Kak Tika led me to a large house, very good house compared to other houses.
Ting..song....ting.
I pressed the bell in front of the gate, and a moustached man came peering out of the hole in the gate.
" Search who's brother?" ask the father.
"We're looking for latitude sir, there's something I have to give directly to Kak Lintang" I explained.
Mr. Gun, then asked if the latitude was there, and the mustachioed man replied there. But the father did not want to open the gate yet, I also explained that I was the sister of brother Tika and I brought a parcel from my brother for him.
The mustachioed man finally left us to ask if his master knew us, not long after a young man opened the gate.
" Let's go inside " said the young man kindly, he invited us into the guest room and I heard him asking his servant for help to make a drink. The young man invited us to sit down, and not long after a waiter delivered drinks and cookies.
The brother allowed us to drink, I unceasingly drank the water in my glass until it ran out .And take the cake in that jar.
" What's wrong sir?" ask the brother to Gun sir.
" I'm sorry, my job is to deliver, this little girl who has business with you" Gun said calmly.
Immediately I swallowed the bread I had chewed in my mouth. And I began to tell him that my name was Naima, I came to this house because of the request of the spirit of Tika's sister, and I explained that Tika's sister had died, I gave her a gift parcel.
The young man's eyes turned red, I saw him holding back tears. Opening the parcel, it turned out that it was a rather large picture frame, I saw there was a photo of Kak Lintang and Kak Tika neatly arranged and beautiful in the frame of the photo, actually, they never took a photo together, but Kak Lintang never gave Sak Tika 3 photos, by Tika's brother beautifully arranged in the picture frame.
Happy Birthday Lintang, I am not a princess, I am not a noble person, I have nothing precious but my love and sincerity "ILOVE YOU"
I accidentally read the contents of a neatly written short message. Early sister Lintang was angry and accused us of being fraudsters, but we explained that sister Lintang could meet sister Tika's grandmother according to the address we had mentioned.
Today was a tiring day, Gun sir looked at my face and said
" Your heart is beautiful, as pretty as your face Naima."
With this incident, it has made Mr. Gun, knowing something that I am different.
Today I have completed the appointment to my duos.
