Traveling to the Unseen Realm
22. Punishing Tissa

Then Ranvier explains what Tissa's mother should do.

" I told you earlier. In addition to not lamenting the departure of Kak Tissa, I also have to return the property of Kak Tissa." Ranvier reminded.

" Give back Tissa's belongings..," muttered Tissa's mother confused.

" Yes Ma'am. Try Mother sipet again, what items Mother or family Mother took from Kak Tissa. You see, if only ordinary items are impossible, Kak Tissa is still wandering around Kita Bu." said Ranvier.

Tissa's mother seemed to think hard but she finally shook her head because she did not know what Ranvier meant.

" I'm sorry for being so presumptuous. Kak Tissa's spirit appeared again. He pointed towards the room, said Ranvier, pointing at the room whose door was blindfolded.

Tissa's mother and Tomi's mother turned to Ranvier's designated room. As if remembering something, Tissa's mother got up and quickly stepped towards the room.

Ranvier and Tomi's mother sat waiting patiently in the living room. Moments later Tissa's mother came out of the room carrying a small wooden crate.

" I didn't find Tissa's stuff in the room, but I found this crate right there. Maybe there's something in this chest that Tissa can't go away quietly" Tissa's mother said as she placed the small wooden crate on the table.

As everyone focused on the chest, Ranvier's phone suddenly rang. Ranvier smiled when he saw the name 'Uncle Daeng' on his phone screen.

" Assalamualaikum Ranvier..," said Daeng Payau from across the phone.

" Wa alaikumsalam Uncle. It just so happened that Uncle Telephon. I'm at his house, Kak Tissa, by Bang Tomi's mother. There's Tissa's mother here too" Ranvier said.

" Oh yeah. Did Tissa's mother find anything in her house...?" ask Daeng Payau.

" There was Uncle, something that was the shape of a small chest made of wood. Now we are confused about what this box should do..," said Ranvier.

" Opens dong Vier, kok even confused anyway..," joked Daeng Payau.

" I know. But there's no effect on who opens the chest Uncle. If in the movies usually the contents of the coffin make everyone around it become stone.", said Ranvier hesitated to make Daeng Payau laugh.

" God willing Vier. If you have any doubts, let Uncle help from here. But you have to get permission from Tissa's mother first, you can't open that chest. If we can video call it yes Vier..," said Daeng Payau.

Ranvier looked at Tissa's mother for permission. Tissa's mother seemed to nod her head in agreement. Afterwards Ranvier made a video call with Daeng Payau and started following his directions.

" Read ta'awudz and bismillah Vier, keep dhikr that much. After that open the chest while continuing to sholawat..," said Daeng Payau, who was embraced by Ranvier.

Ranvier followed Daeng Payau's direction. While beside her mother Tissa and mother Tomi seemed to observe with a pounding heart.

The chest was successfully opened and showed its contents which made Daeng Payau rub his face. Ranvier and the two women next to him seemed stunned as they did not understand what was inhabiting the chest.

" This is what Uncle...?" ranvier asked as he extended his hand to touch the thing.

" Don't touch Vier...!" daeng Payau said loudly to Ranvier's surprise.

" Duh, Uncle just ngagetin anyway..," said Ranvier.

" Yes sorry. But don't touch it directly, you have to use plastic or cloth to touch it." Daeng Payau said.

" This pake is just a child," interrupted Tissa's mother as she held out the end of the tablecloth.

Ranvier used a tablecloth to touch the object inside the box. Ranvier grimaced as he lifted the object and showed it to Tissa's mother and Tomi's mother.

" It's hair, right...?" ask Tomi's mother to doubt.

" So this..," Tissa's mother's speech was interrupted when a voice cut through her speech.

" right Ma'am. I accidentally cut off Tissa's scalp for a memento." said Tissa's father from the doorstep.

" Athaghfirullah aladzim. Why is that, sir ?. Do you know if all this time Tissa bothered the citizens...?" ask Tissa's mom not to believe it.

" I know..," said Tissa lirih.

" Have you ever seen a Tissa sighting, too...?" ask Tomi's mom.

" That's the purpose. I don't want Tissa to leave. That's why I deliberately cut a little scalp and hair to save so that Tissa came to this house.

Tissa's words made the three people in front of him shake their heads.

" Tissa was tormented because of Father. He could not go to God because his body was incomplete. The part of his body that you hold has made Tissa in pain and strayed in other realms. Are you the same father as your son...?" daeng Payau asked from across the phone.

" Who are you ?. Why interfere in my family affairs...?!" ask Tissa to be angry.

" Patience Sir. What is said to be the same Mr. Daeng is true. Please end it all now. Kasian Tissa..," said Tissa's mother, hugging her husband.

" What the hell Mom, let alone ga. This is because you love Tissa...!" sahut tissa lantang.

" But Tissa suffered there sir..," said Tissa's mother.

" Let's just. Do you think only Tissa suffers?, Father also Ma'am. Imagine how embarrassed and disappointed you are because of Tissa. How could he hide his illness and die before the wedding day...!" tissa's father was upset.

" Athaghfirullah aladziim Mr...!" said Tissa's mother while shaking her head.

" Don't keep asking Mom. You know if this father is wrong. But I did ask him to punish Tissa. Don't think that after he dies he's free of punishment. Now you are satisfied that you can punish him again. So Tissa was tormented in nature there because of her own actions...!" said Mr. Tissa with a faint smile.

Tissa's mother was crying while Tomi's mother seemed to be trying to persuade. Not far from the two women it appears Ranvier stood staring because he did not know what to do.

" alright. If you insist on your will, you better leave right now..," said Tissa's mother suddenly.

" What do you mean...?" ask Mr. Tissa.

" I want us to divorce, sir..," said Tissa's mother as she rushed into the room.

Tissa's mother's words surprised her husband. He chased after his wife and begged Tissa's mother to withdraw her words.

" I don't want to live in the same house as a selfish and mentally ill rich man you sir. All this time I've been patient. But writhing You have pain in your son who has died, I can no longer. Instead of me joining g*la, I'd better step down and we're divorced...!" said Tissa's mother loudly.

" Don't go, Mom. Please don't go.." asked Tissa's father to stop but his wife didn't seem to care.

Seeing the serious attitude of his wife, Mr. Tissa also panicked. Finally, Tissa's father relented and obeyed his wife's request.

" Yes yes. I'll go back to everything with Tissa. But you promised not to go, ma'am," said Tissa.

Tissa's words made Tissa's mother smile. Ranvier and Tomi's mother, who heard him, smiled.

After agreeing to make peace, Tissa's parents return to the living room to meet Ranvier and Tomi's mother.
