THE WOMAN (END)
•149

I held my ankle area long enough.the pain that spread to the tip of his pinky made me unable to hold back the crying.

I looked slowly towards the living room,

Is that true, ' said Rizal?

my mind murmured in disbelief.

But, that was really very clear when Rizal's voice called me. I'm not a paranoid person about mystical things, but just now it was able to make me panic and fear.

"Alis," cried the Goddess from the door.

"I'm here ma'am" I said quickly.

The Goddess Maam seemed to be half-running near my room.

"God, why you Lis?!" The goddess ma'am immediately kept a tray of snacks that she seemed to have deliberately brought for me on the floor.

"I fell ma'am, I ran out of the light." I'm still trying to endure the pain.

"Why are you so reckless? where's the sick one?" ask her with an anxious face.

"My feet ma'am," I grimaced a little while wiping my tears.

"Here help me stand!" Lady Goddess extended both her hands to reach me.

I rest on my feet that can still stand by holding tightly the hand of the Goddess Mother.

"Slow down!" rest carefully.

Lady Goddess took me to sit in the living room.

"Why aren't you careful? just a second, I'll get a balm!" pampered.

I just nodded and just focused on the pain in my legs. I looked around this room, my mind was still fixed on the voice earlier.

Is it possible that the spirit of Rizal mas occupies this house? my thinking.

C'mon Eyebrow! do not make up. where there is a wandering spirit. Besides Rizal has long died, during his stay there was never anything strange.maybe it was just your hallucinations alone. trying to shake off the bad thoughts in my head.

A second later I chose to focus on looking at my legs only.I move slowly with a twisting direction.

"Ohhhh!" I grimaced with pain. It seems like when I fell, my toes folded so it hurt so much when I tried to move.

"Sorry for a long time, it turns out the balm is out. So mom bought it first to the stall."morenya while squatting in front of me.

"Mama, mama fell?" Andi and Reyhan followed the goddess from behind.

"Mama is nothing dear" I said.

"Let me alone ma'am," Tukasku upon seeing the goddess ma'am was about to apply the balm.

"Do we need to see a doctor? but the clinic is far away." he muttered confusedly.

"No need ma'am, maybe after applying the balm later also healed" said I who felt that everything would be fine later.

"Call me papa ya ma! it must be papa directly pick us up." Andi said.

"Don't kid, papa must be busy! we can't bother" I'm telling you.

"But lis, if left later gets worse the pain" Miss Dewi looked at me disapprovingly.

"No, ma'am, just calm down! I can still hold it." I rubbed my feet with the balm slowly.

To be honest, it hurts a lot, but I can't show it in front of them.

"Yes, I brought you a snack. You better sit down first don't go anywhere!" his orders.

"Yes ma'am, I think I should rest first."

"Within Reyhan accompany here, yes.mum want to lift the clothesline for a while!" pamit Bu Dewi's.

Eyebrows,.go home! come home!

Again the voice, clearly it was the voice of Rizal mas.but where is he? why don't I see it? and it was just his voice that I heard.

I'm here! Take Andi home!..

The pressure again sounded faint.

"Mas Rizal," I screeched a little and woke up.

I saw Andi and Reyhan playing on the porch.

A second later the sound of furniture in the kitchen clashed, like someone was using it.

I turned my eyes to the kitchen door.

Is it possible,....?

"Are you awake?" suddenly the goddess came out of there. I was a little surprised, too, that it wasn't a ghost.

"Mother.I think who" I sigh.

"Your furniture is deliberately stored in the closet.so as not to be exposed to dust, but it turns out, there are even rats nesting there!" inexplicably.

"Oh so," sahutku gamang.

"Actually why lis? look, you're rich daydreaming?" the Goddess approached.

I looked at the woman for a long time, why do I need to tell her what happened? could the goddess believe it?

"Why..?" tanyanya gently.

I lyrics Andi who looks Asik playing.

"I heard Rizal's voice calling me ma'am." I muttered softly

The Goddess looked at me.

"Are you serious? you're probably hallucinating?" maybe it is hard to believe.

"Maybe the mother was right, this house is too big to store Rizal's energy, although he does not often stay at home, but the atmosphere here can bring my memory to the figure of Rizal mas." I'm sure murmured.

"In fact, I still feel awkward about the death of your husband. lis." he suddenly said.

I turned to Madam Dewi as if I did not believe.only the first time I heard the goddess mom talk so about the death of Rizal mas.

"I mean mother?" I looked into his doubtful gaze.

"Well, honestly, the mother also did not really understand. Actually, the compensation also that financed Andi's school was not from the jasamarga party, but from one of the big companies" he believes

"From the Big company? from whom do you know all this?"

"Mother heard two people claiming to be representatives of the family talking on the phone.they seemed to be ordered by someone to keep it a secret from you, I dare not say because at that time your own condition was not too good."

"So I mean, was there a big company involved in Rizal's accident? could it be the company that owns the big truck?" tukasku.

Uh! unfortunately when the accident rained so much, I could not see clearly what kind of truck hit my husband.The truck was obviously very large and carrying goods from abroad.

"But why do they lie? why don't they talk to me directly? why are they hiding their identities?"

"Maybe they are afraid, you investigate the accident case, and sue their company." said Miss Dewi sounds reasonable.

It could be that they deliberately hide behind the name of a government company to compensate for the loss and mention that it is the carelessness of the rider. But the reality was that at that time, Rizal was riding a motorcycle in a drunk condition. I can't blame anyone, so why are they lying?

The more I think about it, the more I don't understand.if they talk, and intend to be responsible. I will certainly forgive. because maybe it's the fate that must be experienced by Alm my husband.

"Ah, excuse me mommy Dad. so make you think about it. This is all because you said to hear the voice of your alm. husband earlier.usually, this is all because, old man said long ago if there is a dead man's spirit calling us, the sign he wants to say something."

"Say something?" I muttered more and more not understanding.

"Maybe, he also wants to reveal the matter of his death" said the Goddess.

I let out a doubtful breath.

Is it really like that? rizal wants to talk to me? Doesn't this sound like an exaggeration? regarding the matter of his death on mystical matters?

To be honest, whatever happened in the past, I've been completely sincere. I don't want to bring it up again, but it will only make me remember the dark times of my life.
