Happy Reading's...
*****
"Fifteen years ago I was betrothed to a man named Aji Setiaji. The son of a cassava garden owner whose culinary business of cassava chips and snacks made from cassava is progressing rapidly. I should've asked for a marriage annulment because I had a boyfriend, my future husband's family driver. But since my father owed his father before he died, our marriage was still in effect. Though I had heard from my girlfriend named Tomi that she got pregnant with a high school teen before our wedding took place."
Everyone listened carefully to Mani's words. Dita stared fixedly full of curiosity.
"Tomi also said that the affair between my future husband and the high school teenager had been established three months before my marriage took place. At once about a thousand invitations were distributed to family and friends. Though I was attacked by a terrible dilemma because later after marriage I was afraid that later I would not be happy. However, my mother still convinced me to marry the man."
Tasya came smiling to pick up Fasya and Disya while Dita and the others were listening.
"Where's the new ghost from, huh?" tasya asked who walked away from the ghost.
"This is the ghost of the King, again I asked his past. You guys take the same Fasya there! They cry!" dita Exclamation.
"Where's the son?"
"Sama Mami Aiko same Arya to the garden, they are afraid to see Queen Sanca," said Dita.
"Queen Sanca?" tasya asked with a curious face.
"Yes, keep my twins together" said Dita.
"Geez, I think Dira is the same Adam playing the snake doll that knows it's Queen Sanca!" pekik Tasya immediately approached Queen Sanca.
Dita returned to the direction of Mani's ghost.
"Moreover," pinta Dita.
"Well, until finally a girl came home to hold my husband accountable. But according to my husband the girl was just hallucinating, she just wanted to take advantage of my husband, the girl was expecting her property and her father."
"Then?" Anta is approaching now.
"Oma wants to lie down first, Pegel also carried her son Tasya," said Aiko.
"Thank you Auntie, I'm sorry hehehe" Tasya said.
"Next time don't play doctor still late afternoon gini," said Aiko smiled teasing Tasya.
"Due...."
"What do you mean, Mother?" ask Arya.
"No meaning, no need to think!" exclaimed Tasya staring at Arya sharply.
Mani is back to telling her past.
"I remember very well the girl's name was Septi, then the parents of my husband took Septi away in his car. They even spread the story that Septi was pregnant with Tomi. Both were married and given money. After that I heard that Septi and Tomi never came back to know what they did to them. What is clear is that according to my in-laws, she was not the result of her relationship with my husband, the girl was only using my husband's wealth" Mani said.
"Kok, so could it be his son who's Tomi, the driver in the house, does he know Septi?" ask Dita.
"That's the rumor that was spread because they thought Septi was just asking for money and went away with Tomi, my mother-in-law said. But I just don't believe it, though, I felt always haunted by a woman who looked like Septi she came behind a bedroom window with a pale face and a gaping neck wound like a sharp weapon. The figure was crying outside my house, when I tried to open the curtains and he said I had to leave the house" Mani said.
"Why did you have to get out of that cassava house?" ask Dita.
"Because I'm going to end up like this" he said.
The king who had finished cleaning his body listened carefully from the side of the door leaf.
