The Fortitude of a Mother

The Fortitude of a Mother
Ratna is missing part 2


The dark, wet, and narrow passageways, bear witness to the mute cries of fear of a young girl who sounded so heartbreaking.


"Momuuu,emaaakk,mr...! hiks~hiks, please nanaaaa," the little girl cried hysterically, but unfortunately for her no one could hear her screams.


Scy.ciit.


"Gee! what's that noise?" ringis is terrified


"Ohhhh!! ti-tikuuussss!!" he shouted, Ratna tiptoed to and fro to avoid the rat rat that seemed to approach him.


"Whoever is toloonggg! hu~hu~hu...,"


Ratna Manggala did not stop screaming and crying, and when she was crying there was the sound of footsteps of someone who approached her.


"Who's there? can you help Nana 'no, this is it?" he said he hoped there was someone who could help him


But it was not as expected, all,


"Hey boy, why are you so noisy 'huhh?" snapped at a man in black clothes and his face was covered with a black veil, and he wore a head covering.


"Who are you?" asked Ratna who was trembling in fear


"You don't need to know who I am, which I'm obviously going to demand revenge, for all the things your parents did," she said so stressed and of course so scary in the little girl's ears.


"Old man? that's Nana's mother ? what's wrong mom?"


"You! and your parents have made someone sick!" he said with a sharp glare, making the little girl in front of him shrivel in fear


"Please, let go of Nana, Nana is afraid here, besides Nana does not understand at all with the mistakes you mean," he said expectantly


"Ha ha ha ha, damn boy! you think I'm gonna let you go? whoop! don't hope, I want to enjoy the suffering of you and your parents, especially your mother!"


"Now, hurry up and eat this," he grinned behind his veil, as he handed a plate of food to Ratna.


"What food is that...? hiyyy...!" Ratna shuddered in horror when she saw the squirming fat animal on the herd that was thrust at her



"Fast eat!" hardik the mysterious man


Ratna shook her head, she closed her mouth tightly with both palms, but the mysterious person who was holding her continued to forcefully give the plate to Ratna, so that the child would eat her.


"No! Nana doesn't want to eat that, '.geli, no fear,!" his screams, he continued to retreat backwards until mepet into the damp wall.


"Let's have a sweet child, eat this, it's delicious lhooo..hihihahaahaha," he said forcefully, he also laughed and sounded scary in Ratna's ear, and he said,


"No!" Ratna threw her face aside while covering her mouth


"Hurry, open your mouth!" the mysterious man forced


Ratna continued to shake her head, but it was unfortunate for her that the mysterious person had so violently opened the little girl's mouth


"Agghhhhh, hmmppp, gak mauuu!" his screams echoed in that dark, damp hallway


***


It was getting dark, but Mirah, separated and Moses had not stopped looking for Ratna, as well as Herman, the man was also looking for his daughter, although before that he had "happy fun" first with the spirit,and Mirah really does not care about it, because her love for Herman really has lost without a trace.


This time the search was carried out in the forest near the vast pesawahan which is also near the road that used to pass by Ratna when returning to school, the road was a path that is usually passed by people.


"Huh,ratnaa...,"


Mirah sighed heavily, her eyes were swollen from crying too much


"Mir, we should go home first now, later in the night we continue the search again, we report RT sir and ask for help from the citizens," said disah, he felt so compassionate to Mirah,at the same time feel very worried about his favorite little girl.


"But sister..,"


"Mir.., listen to your brother, we should go home now, and fulfill the obligation, and then pray for help to God, because only HE is as good a helper," said Moses giving understanding to Mirah,behind his heart was also very agitated and worried about Ratna's state.


"Hmmm, yes it is..," said mirah lethargic


Finally they went home for a while, the next night the search plan will be resumed.


***


Finished performing the Maghrib prayer service Moses and Mirah then went to the house of RT sir, with the aim to ask for help ratna search, and his Alhamdulillah gladly pak Rt agreed to provide assistance, with the aim of asking for help,he immediately told the people to help the Musa family find Ratna.


Residents are quick to help, there are those who carry tongongan some carry petromaks lights, there are also those who carry sharp weapons, not anything, they are just afraid to meet criminals or other dangerous things, he said,that was why they anticipated it in such a way.


"We started looking for Ratna from here" RT said, giving directions to its citizens.


The search was carried out, starting from the school area, because Ratna disappeared after the school break up, and considering that behind the school lay the thatch field and a lot of lush bush.



"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim, let's start the search," RT sir led the search that night


"Sorry RT sir, shouldn't we split up?" the mang karja


"Hmm, exactly the proposal of the mang karja," RT sir confirmed


"Alright, then let's go down this Ichopper with a split," continued RT.


They went down the back of the school thatch without being missed, but the place was not as smooth as it was thought, many traps in the form of ground that could damage at any time.


And finally the search was divided into three groups, a group of four RT sir, a group of five Musa people, and a group of seven mang karja


people.


They split up, tracing every inch of the pastoral Field without being missed, while shouting to call the name of the child.


"Ratnaaa!!, where are you naak?!"


"Ratna Manggala!!, you are horrifying mother gaaak!, the mother is here looking for you dear!!"


"Nana sayaanggg, this is emaaakkkk!!, let's go!!"


Trong..trong...


The sound of a fart being hit, hoping that if the girl was there she could hear it.


Srebk..srukk.


The sound of thatch that passed caused a crowded rustling sound


"Sir, look ahead, there is a large tree that is only one," Mirah pointed to Moses and said


"Hmm, yeah, you're right Mirah,"


"How about we go there," asked Mirah


"Let's..." Moses and disemboweled and Herman nodded.


They also stepped with heart, considering that the weed was as tall as an adult


"Heart." Moses warned.


However, Mirah who was a bit difficult to walk due to the high weeds he was left behind, so he could not see the road he was treading and somewhat deviated from the others.


"Mirah,ayo hurry!" disah who realized Mirah was left behind and invisible behind him immediately stopped


"Yes, sis, it's a little hard to walk here,"


But something unexpected happened...


Krosakkk...


"Armghhh!"
