NOT PERPETRATORS
My Name Is 'Mbah Mar'!

I secretly photographed Fania ID card and kept it on my phone. I showed Ve's secretary about the photo. Secretary Ve simply frowned.

"Imania, how about we go there now?"

I was quite surprised to hear Ve's secretary's invitation. "Sister, Ve? What are you really hiding? Did you have anything to do with Fania?"

Secretary Ve suddenly looked nervous. "Ah, not really. I-I just want to help."

The reason Ve's secretary made no sense to me. Kuraih back my phone. And I put it in the bag.

”Imania, seeing what happened yesterday, aren't you worried about Fania? What about his family? They are certainly also very anxious," said Ve's secretary.

Though doubting the reason Ve's secretary wanted to help Fania. However, I was also curious about Fania's residence. We also decided to go to the office today. And we went straight to the address listed in the Fania ID card.

After traveling for about an hour, we got out of the car, in a slum.

Secretary Ve asked me to ask one of the villagers X.

"Excuse me, Ma? Ask me, RT. 2, RW. 6 where is it, yes, Mom?" ask the secretary Ve when he meets a middle-aged woman who is drying clothes.

"Oh, that's .. You guys just go straight from the fork, see you later, okay?"

"Is it far away?" ask the secretary Ve.

"No. About five kilometers from here."

"Okay, thanks for the information, ma'am."

We got back in the car. Then towards the direction that the mothers pointed at earlier. And sure enough, after traveling about five kilometers, we also arrived at a village again.

We went downstairs immediately, asking about Fania's house. We approached a man who was waiting for the grass on his back.

"Sorry, sir, excuse me. I'd like to ask. Is there something in this village called Fania?"

"Fania? Well, less know, yes, ma'am. Ask other people. I just moved from Borneo here."

"Well, thank you, sir," said Ve's secretary.

We walked back to one of the houses. The houses here are quite simple and small. The environment is also pretty shabby. A lot of rubbish scattered in the streets and also filled the sewers. Have they never thought about environmental cleanliness?

"However!" Secretary Ve covered his nose. "Are you carrying a mask?"

"No, Brother Ve."

"Oh, the citizens here are certainly very slovenly!" said secretary Ve while continuing to cover her nose.

Arrive at one of the houses. Secretary Ve knocked on the door. Not long after, someone came out and opened the door.

His eyes were wide when he saw us. "Sorry, what's up, huh?" ask a thin-looking girl, who I estimate is about 15 years old.

"Sorry, Deck. You want to ask, is there something here called Fania?"

"I don't know. It doesn't seem to exist."

"All right, thank you. Excuse me," said secretary Ve.

We tried to get back to the other house. Back secretary Ve knocked on the door. A mother came out holding a baby.

"Excuse me, Mum. Is there anyone in this village named Fania?" ask the secretary Ve.

"Fania?" The woman was shocked when she heard the name Fania.

"Yes, Fania," said Ve's secretary again.

"What's wrong with Fania?" tanyakanya.

Me and the secretary Ve looked at each other. Looks like this mother knows about Fania.

"Fania is my friend, ma'am," I replied directly with sparkling eyes.

The mother scrunched her forehead. Staring at me from top to bottom. Is there something wrong with my appearance?

"really?" ask the mother in doubt.

I nodded quickly. "Yes, I'm Fania's friend!"

Instead of responding, the mother went into her house. Me and the secretary Ve looked at each other again.

"What's wrong with her?"

Secretary Ve shrugged his shoulders, expressing the word 'entahlah'.

The mother came back to us who were still standing on the terrace. The mother came out not only with the baby in her cradle, but with a little toddler-aged girl. With a thumping feeling, I asked the mother again.

"Did you know about Fania's place in this village?" manyu.

"Yes, I know."

Finally, after searching for so long, we found the right person to ask about Fania.

The mother looked at me still with a confused look. "Fania lives here."

I was surprised to hear the mother's statement. Including Ve's secretary who went wide.

"That means, Mom is Fania's aunt?" my many.

"No. I'm Fania's mother."

This time, me and the secretary Ve stared at each other in confusion.

"Fania's mother?" my many. And the mother nodded. Isn't Fania's mother dead?

"Yes, this is Fania, my daughter. Refania Putri" he said, introducing the toddler-aged girl.

Me and the secretary Ve stared at each other clumsily.

"Oh, is this your daughter Fania? Looks like we got the wrong guy. All we asked was Fania Larasati. It's been twenty years." I'm explaining.

"Oh!"

The mother brought her daughter back into the house. And closed the door violently.

"Oh, my God! What apart from being slovenly, the citizens here also have no manners?" gerutu secretary Ve.

Not surrender. We visited the house one by one. Unfortunately, no one knew about Fania. Me and the secretary Ve were tired. We sat on a wooden chair, in front of a small house terrace.

"Imania, this is exhausting! How could they not have known anything about Fania? Check the address again. Let's not be wrong."

I took the phone from the bag. I checked the address listed. "This is right, Brother Ve!" I said sure.

Secretary Ve sighed. "It's weird! How could no one know?"

Suddenly my head hurt. Body shivers. Actually, since this morning, I've been feeling unfit.

"Imania, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Brother Ve."

Secretary Ve seemed to be watching me who kept holding my head.

"Come, let's just go home! You look so pale!"

I breathed many times. Trying to calm the dizzy in my head. Secretary Ve led me to stand up. And as we moved from the terrace, suddenly someone called us.

"Hey, you!"

"Come here!"

Me and the secretary Ve were confused. Why did my grandmother call us. But we also approached him.

"Come in!" the old grandmother said, inviting.

"No, Grandma, thank you. We're in a hurry to go home," reject the soft Ve secretary.

"Aren't you looking for someone?"

We looked at the old grandmother doubtfully. Maybe this grandma is senile and will only make us mince words.

"No, Grandma. We'll just go home." Secretary Ve tried to reason again to refuse.

"Yes, okay. Go home! If you don't want to know about the girl you're looking for!" said the white-haired woman.

Me and the secretary Ve looked at each other again.

"Grandma heard you guys ask the people here."

"What ... does Grandma know about Fania?" ask the secretary Ve with a doubtful look. Naturally, we had gone around the village, and no one knew about Fania.

"Come in!" The grandmother asked us to come into her house. We also obey him.

"Sit down!"

We also obeyed the grandmother's order, to sit on an old wooden chair in her fairly small house. The walls are made of wood, which has begun to decay. It seems like a very old house.

The grandmother went to the back, then came back to us with two cups of tea.

"Grandmother, don't bother" I said feeling bad. It seems like only he treats us kindly in this village. Because, other residents are afraid when asked by us.

The old grandmother placed two cups of tea on the table. "Grandma only has this." Then he sat facing us.

"Thank you, Grandma" said Ve's secretary.

"You look tired. Are you sick?" ask the grandmother.

"I'm just a little dizzy" I replied.

"You look beautiful. But you're a widow, yes" said the grandmother, laughing.

"How did Grandma know?" many wonder.

"Just .. guess! You're also in a complicated relationship with men. He's very handsome. You guys are pretty compatible."

I was very surprised by my grandmother's statement. How does he know?

"However, be careful. Amongst your happiness, there is the life of someone who is threatened."

"really?" my many.

"You are loved by many men. But your soul mate is only one. He who keeps fighting and dares to sacrifice for you. He's your soul mate!" say that grandma again.

"Can you also tell me?" ask the secretary Ve curiously.

The grandmother turned her gaze towards the secretary Ve. He was silent for a moment too. Then it says, "You .. You have a pretty good career. However, it is not because of achievement. You're just lucky to be clinging to someone. And you're also taking advantage of past situations for your own opportunities" the grandmother said.

Secretary Ve grew increasingly wide to hear the words of the white-haired grandmother.

"Not only that. You've had forbidden relationships with a lot of men."

There was no stopping the secretary Ve was wide open to hear the words of the old grandmother.

"There's more." The grandmother fixed her sitting position. "You've made changes to your face, to beautify your appearance."

"Ba-ba-ba-how did you know??" Secretary Ve was so nervous to speak.

Grandma just laughed. And that laugh sounded really scary in my ear. I got goosebumps hearing her laugh.

"I can also look further. About your thirst for men!" The grandmother's voice was accompanied by a terrible laugh.

Secretary Ve managed to make her frightened and nervous. She squeezed her own miniskirt many times.

"Enough, Grandma, don't say anything else about me!" said secretary Ve.

For some reason, being in this house makes my hair stand up. Does this grandma have six sense? Or is he a shaman? Really, she's a sacred grandmother.

I whispered to the secretary Ve. "What did Grandma say was true?"

"Whatchu mean? That's impossible!!" refute the secretary Ve with a very nervous expression.

"Grandmother? You said you knew about the place where the guy I was looking for lived? Her name is Fania Larasati." I tried to start the interrogation.

"You haven't introduced yourself yet, have you?" he said with his mysterious laughter.

"Aren't you able to predict? You should know our names, right?" said secretary Ve in an annoyed tone.

The grandmother laughed again. "If so, I'll look at your behavior while in bed!"

"Imania! Let's go home!!" Secretary Ve looked very upset. He stood up and pulled my arm.

However, I held him. "Sir Ve, he's our only hope to know everything about Fania!"

The secretary of Ve sat back down. And we introduced ourselves immediately. After that, it was the sacred grandmother who introduced herself.

"Call me to Marry."

His name is pretty cool for his century. The secretary of Ve couldn't believe hearing his name.

"My name is Marimar Martinah Marinem" the grandmother said, laughing. Laughter keeps making me shiver.

"The truth is the last. Call it, 'Mar'. But not Mbah Maridjan, huh? I'm 'Mar'. Enough 'Mar' only. Don't add anything else" he said, laughing.

"Not Marshanda? Or Marshmellow?" said Ve's secretary who was still upset.

"Don't be so rude! Want a nailtuk now?"

"Again, Mbah! Pardon?!"

Secretary Ve immediately lowered his head before the old grandmother. And the old grandmother laughed more and more. What a terrible laugh. I don't know if we decided it was the right choice to talk to him. But, looking around, this old granny is not an indiscriminate person."

After laughing, Mbah Mar said, "Well, I'll tell you about the girl you asked."

Mbah Mar: But it's tonight, huh? At seven o'clock tonight, Mbah Mar will be back again! 😂

Secretary of Ve: Oh my God! Protect us from the havoc and sacred curses of this old granny?!" 🙄

Faith : Aamiin .... 🤲
