The Fortitude of a Mother
Ratna is missing part 3


"What do you want?" Ratna asked in fear, as the mysterious woman who had kept her was carrying a whip.


"You scared, sweet boy? ha ha ha ha ha ha...!" his laughter echoed in the dark hallway.


"Calm down, it's just a whip.If you're a good boy, then you're safe from him," the mysterious woman said as she swung the whip,suddenly it made the beloved little girl grimaced and curled up in the corner for fear.


"Now, I stay a while, there are guests I have to welcome," the man with the face covering grinned and left the frightened Ratna alone, only to be given a small oil lamp for lighting.


"Ja-don't go! Nana was afraid to be alone here" the poor little girl tried to prevent the mysterious woman's departure, but she was completely ungrateful, and was instead given a small oil lamp.

"Rushh!" disah cried out in panic, when she heard the sister scream, she painstakingly ran through the high and of course sharp that caused a very painful scratch wound on the skin ,not to mention the root that often snare his feet, but he managed to also approach the origin of the sound of mirah.


"Miraah! where's she?"


Distant confusion because at all he did not find the sister, when it was clear mirah yelling from the direction he stood now, separate wailing netraannya researching around, hoping there is a clue.


Until finally he saw something very familiar, namely the hairpin worn by Mirah earlier, the hairpin of the stick model with a beautiful jade decoration was lying just like that between the root of the weeds.



"It's not, Mirah's hairpin" muttered, then the net looked around, hoping there was another clue about the sister.


In other places, Mirah is now in confusion, the article he mired into a fairly deep hole, such as the main slide but the extreme version.


"Akkhhh!" squealing in pain, when he landed imperfectly, because his butt hit the rocks down there.


"Ouh, it hurts so much.Where is this really?" Mirah asked herself


"ah! why is it so dark here? not to mention the air is so humid and stuffy," he murmured again


But fortunately the woman, because she had a beautiful amethyst ring on her index finger, it would emit a beautiful purplish light, when Mirah was in the dark.


Then Mirah closed her eyes and then placed her right index finger on the ring stone.


"Right now I need your light, help me" he murmured


Miraculously the purplish light immediately shimmered beautifully and illuminated the place around Mirah,


"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim, O Allah, I beg your guidance," after saying the do'a Mirah also stepped his feet down the long dark and stuffy aisle.


I don't know how long he had been walking, until Mirah arrived at the end of the hallway, but it was not the end of his journey, because there was another passageway that branched the way, and there was another passageway,so that makes Mirah confused must take which path.


For a moment Mirah thought, but the miracle happened again, the ring that had shimmered beautifully now only bring out the light of one straight line showing the right direction.


"Bismilbornrahmanirrahim, I will take the right path may this be the best option,"


After deciding to walk back he stepped with a heart, considering that the hall was very narrow, not to mention the large rat rat milling around, so that he made him step with tiptoed.


"Ishhh, why are there so many rats here, amused, right, so," Mirah shuddered


But still the name of the accident who knows who will approach, even though Mirah has been careful there are still events.


"Ciit ciit!"


"Grepp!!"


A rat accidentally stepped on its tail by Mirah, so the mouse turned back to reply to Mirah by biting her smooth leg, as she screamed in pain,flicked with as strong as qtenaga with the intention that the mouse was to escape from his legs.


Mirah looked for a seat, to check for wounds on her legs.


"Hmm, in the bite of this rat, shhhh.sakiit, hopefully not an infection," he said grimacing in pain, the blood was pouring on his leg because it turned out the bite was quite deep.


Mirah deftly tore off part of her skirt, then immediately she washed the wound with a supply of drinking water that she brought, then then wrapped her legs to stop the bleeding.


"Let's continue the journey" he said encouragingly.


With the pain in his legs Mirah continued walking down the stuffy aisle, so before long he had a dead end, but this was a bit strange according to Mirah, he said,because there is a pile of red bricks that like arranged in such a way.


"What's this?" Mirah muttered while researching the brick pile, then she took the initiative to take the bricks one by one, because it turned out that the pile was only arranged so easily, making it easier for her to take and even tear her down.


Until a while later, the brick was finished Mirah put away, and it turned out that what she saw in front of her really made her astonished.


The hallway in front of his eyes was still so narrow and stuffy, but there were shelves lined up against the wall, Mirah was really curious what was in the shelf of the rack, the shelf,then he stepped closer to her and saw, but what he saw made her goosebumps


On the shelf there is a jar of jars neatly lined up, in the jar he saw a creature writhing disgusting creatures, there are caterpillars that are gemoy,there are caterpillars that are usually attached to teak leaves there are also earthworms that wriggle, and various other ludicrous animals.


"For what is all this, who amassed all these ludicrous creatures?"


Arrive arrive...


"Huhahahaha...!"


"Who's there?" Mirah ventured to ask, even though she herself was frightened, because there was a sound of laughter that echoed.


"I am the one who will demand revenge against you!" he said with an angry tone


"Pealing back, what do you mean? what is my salh to you?!" ask Mirah again


"You're pretending you don't know, don't you really know?"


"I really don't know and don't understand, please! show me who you really are" asked Mirah


"Haaahhaha, fine.Because I feel like this is the end of your life, and you're also alone here, then I'll show you who I am,"


Jrng ...


"Akkhhh!" pekik Mirah was startled, seeing a mysterious figure dressed in black in front of her.


"Who are you? let's show yourself?" challenge Mirah, though actually a bit scared as well


"Patience," he said grinning, behind the cover of his face.


Then one by one the men opened the cover of his face, and saw someone who was very familiar.


"Th-you?"


"Yes.this is me," he replied grinning.
