Eps. 22(sari's grandmother's story)

Arriving at Sari's grandmother's house, Raya immediately showed the mound of land where her grandmother was buried. Everyone who knew it was very stunned. Mounds of land that were thought to be just mounds of ordinary land turned out to be the residence of Sari's grandmother after it was thought to be lost by residents.

"So this is Sari's grandmother's grave? how do you know?" ask kyai Arifin.

"I only dream about grandmothers and grandmothers showing where the tomb is. After that he left, so I followed him. Who would have thought it turned into a forest and I did not know the way home." Raya told everyone without telling them if she had a sixth sense that could see past events, because papa Sigit once banned it. Do not let others know about its advantages .

Papa Sigit and mama Rossi knew that Raya was lying, but he did not scold her for believing Raya was doing it to hide her excess.

"For more details what if we just unload! if this is indeed my mother's tomb, I want to move her to a public tomb."saran papa Sigit asked for approval kyai Arifin and also the citizens who were there.

"But Grandma Sari was declared missing a few years ago. Even if it was dismantled it must have become bones." Kyai Arifin.

"Then I will call the forensic team from the city hospital to be able to identify the skeleton of my mother later" replied papa Sigit confidently. After thinking for a while, Kyai Arifin finally approved papa Sigit's proposal.

Papa Sigit immediately called his friend who worked at the hospital to contact forensic officers from the hospital. Papa Sigit also tells what happened to his mother before his tomb was found.

While waiting for the hospital to come, Mama Rossi invited everyone who was there to enjoy the tea dishes he had prepared.

While enjoying a tea dinner served by mama Rossi, Kyai Arifin also told the story of Sari's grandmother before being declared missing.

"Actually Sari's grandmother had experienced depression before being declared missing." said Kyai Arifin.

According story....

After her son left for the city with his granddaughter and son-in-law, Sari's grandmother often cried inside the house. At first Sari's grandmother only cried slowly sometimes with a loud voice until often heard by neighbors even who were passing by.

Until one day someone saw someone enter Sari's grandmother's house. A woman wearing a veil and carrying a parcel entered the house of Sari's grandmother. But after that no one saw the woman again.

Strangely since the appearance of foreign women in the house of Sari's grandmother, he is more often careless. Every time there was a child passing in front of the house, he always assumed that the child was his grandson. No doubt Grandma Sari directly carried him and brought him into the house. But soon Sari's grandmother brought out the child.

The child seemed very happy because it was so out of Grandma Sari's house. They feel happy because Sari's grandmother provides them with a lot of food that is put in a plastic bag.

After the incident many times, the residents who were initially restless and afraid were no longer worried. But the last time Sari's grandmother screamed at night, residents were made to panic after her. Sari's grandmother's house became quiet, there was no sound of Sari's grandmother anymore. The children who expected the feeding from Sari's grandmother felt disappointed, because Sari's grandmother never showed up again.

Even Ali who every day helps Sari's grandmother clean the house, she thought Sari's grandmother had gone to work to the garden. And no one knows the whereabouts of Grandma Sari to date.

"Yes..Ali and his father were close to Sari's grandmother" replied Kyai Arifin.

"Some time after Sari's grandmother disappeared, there were residents who met Sari's grandmother standing on the terrace at dusk. Grandma Sari just smiled. But when approached, suddenly Sari's grandmother disappeared. It was thought that the people had entered the house." Kyai Arifin's story.

Raya began to think, Ali and her father were the last with Sari's grandmother. They must have known the real thing about Grandma Sari.

After waiting until noon, the medical team finally arrived. Because the case is mysterious, they come along with the police.

"Sorry Sigit, we can't act alone. Because according to your story this is very mysterious. It could be a criminal case, like murder for example. So for more details the police will identify the victim. We'll do an autopsy on the body in the hospital" said papa Sigit's friend who works at the hospital.

"But my mother is thought to have died a few years ago. Even if an autopsy will only be done through the bone." explained papa Sigit.

"What?" the police and medical team there were very surprised to hear papa Sigit's explanation.

"So it wasn't just buried?" ask the police who heard.

"No! we just arrived here after a few years of moving to the city" replied papa Sigit.

"It's okay! we can identify even through bone alone. But we asked for permission to take him to a hospital in the city" the forensic doctor said.

Some residents have dug mounds of land that are thought to be the tomb of Sari's grandmother. Some police also interrogated Kyai Arifin and some residents to find out more details about the disappearance of Sari's grandmother.

After digging, they found several bones that had been separated. The burial is not too deep, and the position of the bones is not neatly arranged like burying a corpse. Everyone is dumbfounded. Mama Rossi cried to see the state of her in-laws' bones.

"How sir? is this a murder victim?" ask papa Sigit curious.

"From the position of the bone is like a murder case and burial is also original. But we can't predict it directly. Everything will be clear after the autopsy" the police said.

All the bones allegedly belonging to Sari's grandmother have been placed in the right place and will be taken to the city hospital for autopsy. The police have also received information from Kyai Arifin and also residents there. All will be processed to find out the results.

Papa Sigit came to the city with police and medical personnel to find out the results of the examination and also DNA tests. Raya and Mama Rossi will live in the village. Manda and Lily decided to stay because they wanted to accompany Raya.

Raya still remained silent. He didn't tell anyone who buried his grandmother.

Mama Rossi assisted Kyai Arifin's wife has prepared cooking. Tonight will be held tahlilan to send a prayer to Grandma Sari to be calm in nature there.
