NIGHT BUTTERFLY
#77
The door of the house sounded to break the silence of the night. Three women looked down in fear when they saw Jamblang standing firmly behind the door. Jambang stepped in. He looked at the three women with an angry look while surrounding his third body.
"Only once I call and you do not open the door, this house must have been burned, I burned" said Jamblang cynically.
He stopped his steps and stood in front of them. His body seemed to shake with fear. They fell silent and still did not dare to look at Jamblang.
"Why are you three. Mana Rahima,"She shouted Jamblang. He looked towards Rahima's room door. He then stepped up and upon his doorstep, he kicked him. Jamblang immediately entered the room when he saw the door of the room open. There's nobody there. Blank. Jamblang sighed in annoyance. He looked over and over. He saw a piece of paper lying next to the door. Jamblang approached and took it.
"Bad! Apparently he was already me," murmured Jamblang rough. He immediately rushed out and approached the three women again.
"Hey! Why are you guys quiet. Tell me, where Rahima is," cried Jamblang. He tugged at his rough third body.
"She came out with Mami Zelayin. I don't know where they're going. Mami Zelayin just told us to take care of the house. They seemed to be in a hurry" said one.
"Aaagh!" Jambang kicked the door of the house and immediately went out. Not long after, the sound of his motorbike sounded boisterous enlivening the atmosphere of a quiet night. The three women immediately closed the door when making sure Jamblang completely disappeared behind the dark of the night.

The black pick-up car carrying Zelayin and Rahima's mami stopped near a small road that was descending from the main road.
He glanced at the clock on his phone. It's 10 p.m. Mami Zelayin is seen starting to check the call history list on mobile phone belonging to the spreader of the leaflet that she called a few minutes ago. He turned towards the trunk of the mahogany tree near his parked car. After that, he started calling.
"Hello. I was on the road of Cempaka. Where can I meet my mother" said Zelayin's mother after sounding authentic from the opposite direction.
"Did sister take Rahima?" answer the voice from across.
"Yes, sure," replied Zelayin.
"The sisters stayed turning in a small downhill road near the sister. Just come in, there'll be a security guard who'll welcome the sister,"
Mami Zelayin closed her call. He immediately started his car and immediately drove it down a small road beside him.
"I'm so scared, Mi. There are people who want to buy me at that price. I'm sure you're wrong" Rahima said. Even though he had felt sincerely made anything by Zelayin's mother, but the feeling of fear still lingered in his heart.
"Oh, you shut up. What matters is that we tried. Tuh, Look. The walls of his house are huge. Who knows, this time you're lucky to meet a rich new master. You're lucky, I'm also lucky" said Zelayin's mother as she continued to drive her car down the gravel road.
Rahima let out a sigh and leaned on her body.
Mami Zelayin stopped her car in front of the gate. Not long after, the gate slowly opened. Mr. Bayan was seen standing up and moving his hands to tell mami Zelayin to enter his car.
Mami Zelayin and Rahima were amazed to see the large house with a large courtyard in front of it from the car. Rahima holds Zelayin's mother's hand, but Zelayin's mother releases her.
"Mom both wait here. I want to report first," said Mr. Bayan let mami Zelayin and Rahima sit on the porch of the house. Mr. Bayan then entered. He found Sulastri sitting in the living room reading a newspaper. Sulastri took off the newspaper in his hand when he saw that Mr. Bayan was already standing in front of him.
"How, Sir. Is the guest here?" ask Sulastri.
"Yes, Mom. They're in the living room" replied Mr. Bayan.
"It's very similar, Mom. I think she is indeed the woman that I am looking for" continued Mr. Bayan. Sulastri smiled.
"Is she with a shoulder-haired woman?" ask Sulastri.
"Yes, Mom."
Sulastri smiled again. He grabbed the black veil beside him and put it up. He looks cheerful. She knows, there's a Zelayin mom out there outside the house. The scent of Rahima's arrival made his heart beat even harder.
"Take them in, sir," asked Sulastri. Mr. Bayan nodded and immediately rushed out.

Rahima and Mami Zelayin stepped slowly on the ceramics while continuing to pay attention to the spacious part of the house with luxurious furniture decorating the house. Sulastri deliberately turned off the main lights of the living room and left one lamp near the window. He smiled when he saw Rahima who was seen walking while holding the hands of Zelayin's mother behind.
"Come, Mothers. We're sitting here. Sulastri's voice echoed in the room. Mami Zelayin and Rahima simultaneously turned their heads and stepped slowly towards where Sulastri was sitting. Sulastri still covered half his face with his black veil. Mami Zelayin who tried to pay attention to her face could not see it clearly. He was really curious about Sulastri.
Sulastri looked at Rahima who was still down. He then got up and turned on one of the lights in the middle of where they were sitting.
"How are you, Mami," Sulastri said. He did not want to keep his face hidden. She impatiently wanted to hug and see Rahima's cheerful face.
Mami Zelayin. He could not say anything when he saw the woman who turned out to be Sulastri was opening her veil. But Sulastri's own gaze was more interested in seeing Rahima's face than to see the shocked face of Zelayin's mother.
Rahima's mouth is locked. He wants to scream. But the surprise of seeing Sulastri's face made his mouth feel locked. Only a smile began to look fluffy and the look of joy on his face was visible.
Sulastri got up and stepped closer to Rahima. Mami Zelayin could only stare in disbelief.
Sulastri grabs Rahima's hand and invites her to stand up. Sulastri looked at Rahima's face. Tears began to flow on Rahima's face in her swab with her hands. After for a while the two looked at each other, Sulastri grabbed onto Rahima's body and hugged her tightly. The crying of the two broke out filled the room.
"Tell me if I'm not dreaming, Sulastri" Rahima said in a cry. Sulastri. He rubbed Rahima's hair.
"I am, Sulastri. Your friend was a prisoner of Zelayin's mother. But now, you are more than just my friend. You are my brother," said Sulastri as he looked towards Zelayin's mother who was seen bowing her head. He still seemed to not believe, Sulastri who had become his slave a few days ago was the spreader of the leaflet. A feeling of anxiety suddenly appeared in his heart. He began to fear Sulastri trapped him and reported him to the authorities.
