CURSE Or GRACE
Practice in Action

While far away at the end there Ratih and his mother are still discussing about the wishes of Ratih to meet Panji. Ratih had already asked Gilang how Gilang could find Panji. Gilang just said by chance, they were passing Panji house and saw Panji out of the house. Ratih also checked into the Panji house, it turns out that the house has been sold.

"We have to go to the police station, we are the heirs of the victims, we have the right to ask and get detailed information from the incident to the trial, who is the witness and so on, maybe there we can get some info on Panji." Ratih heard his mother's words.

"Witnesses? From the grapevine in this village the only witness is Panji's mother, and now he's being treated somewhere." Ratih answered his mother's words. Suddenly his mother stood with a glowing face.

"I seemed to know where Nur Azizah was being treated, When I was living in Jogjakarta I met her sister just as she was coming out of rehab. I'm sure his brother was there because he was so scared when he saw me, his attitude was like someone caught stealing! I was confused as to why he was acting that way to me because we used to be close friends." Ratih's face instantly changed when he heard the information from his mother.

"Mom still remember the location? Does he remember his mother?" Rehearsed asked with enthusiasm.

"should remember! If he's not seriously mentally ill, he should be as warm as me."

"Then let's go!" Ratih immediately grabbed the car keys and walked out, leaving his mother who was babbling

"Eh yes son ngeyel, how to die bae, his eyes are small yes, what ora ndeleng, mamake agi negligee tok!"

(if his mother Ratih betawi people roughly say this, "Eit ya sableng maen boy go bae! His eyes are small, right? don't you worry about her mom anymore, negligent bae!" ) He was drawn to grab whatever was covered to strengthen his clothes.

The journey from kebumen to Jogja is not so long, the old is that the mother must remember the location so that Ratih often circled around. Finally they arrived at the place in question and went straight to the reception desk. They were very happy when they found out his mother had been treated there. After Ratih claimed to be his daughter and mother as his sister then they were given permission to see his mother Panji.

Ratih and his mother hope that if Panji's mother wants to see them, the possibility of Panji's mother not recognizing their names and not wanting to see them, Panji's mother may not recognize them, but after half an hour waiting for a nurse to escort a woman in a wheelchair, see who was in her mother's wheelchair Ratih nudged Ratih's hand, he turned his eyes towards the wheelchair-bound woman who was heading towards them, and cuddled.

Her mother was right, it was natural that Nurazizah her mother Panji contested over the men in her village, she was very beautiful, even in such conditions her beauty was still clearly visible. Ratih immediately kissed the hand of the person who was considered the mother so that the nurse did not suspect, as well as her mother.

After the nurse left them Ratih took his mother Panji out and away from the crowd so that their conversation was not suspected by the nurse there.

"Nur! You remember me, right? I'm Maryati! We're best friends from childhood, I'm your best friend and Sudibyo's best friend your husband!" Ratih's mother said patiently, she half crouched down in front of a wheelchair, her hands holding her mother's hands.

"And this is my son Ratih, he wants to meet Panji, your son wants to thank Panji for healing him from illness." Ratih immediately shifted his position to the side of his mother, then nodded with a smile.

"One of Panji's mother's hands escaped from Maryati's hands, she tried to grab Ratih's hand, Ratih swiftly stretched out his hand.

" My husband is innocent, he didn't kill your father Nduk!" Then he rebuked and came back down. Ratih and his mother gasped in shock, they were also worried that his cries would be heard by the nurse.

"Did you really see what happened?" Ratih. The answer that awaited did not come, Panji's mother just looked down. They finally decided to stop the interview and bring him back. Until in the waiting room Ratih's hand was held by his mother Panji. Ratih immediately lowered his head, and his mother panji said the same thing, this time his tone was clearer. Shortly after, he was taken by the nurse back to his room.

On the way home while driving Ratih's car did not say much, he thought about the incident in the waiting.

"Did Panji's mother recognize him?" Ratih thought, but the possibility of his mother Panji recognize him is very large, he is a friend of his mother, usually mothers if again gathered to bring their children and praise each other their children. Ratih forgot his mother Panji.

Ratih believes his mother Panji knows him and his mother that's why he grabbed Ratih's hand and gave such a statement. Maybe his depression is almost healed. Even so the testimony of his mother Panji will be weak in any court, but Ratih is sure that that is the truth. Who killed his father?"

Until the kebumen Ratih directly to the office of the kebumen Police. It was almost afternoon, community service hours were running out. They were not sure his efforts would be successful today, but he and his mother stepped in to convey their intentions to the police on duty at the ministry desk. The police took down their identities and asked them to wait.

The policeman headed to his command room, knocked on the door and heard an order coming in.

"Commander! There are people who want to read the file report of the murder case of Lurah Payitno, former Lurah Kampung Sampang Sempor. They named Ratih and Maryati, claiming to be the wife and child of the deceased. I've checked the data, they're true heirs of the deceased."

"Thank you sir, let me take care of the service on this matter, please bring them here!"

"Ready commander!" The police gave a respectful attitude and turned out of the room, shortly afterwards he went back in and escorted Ratih and his mother to the commander. The commander let them sit down.

"True Ma'am!" Ratih was amazed it turns out the police commander here is a woman.

"I'm the cop who took care of this case right from the start, here's the file you want to see!" Haryati's mother thrust a file at them. If anyone wants to ask, ask me!"

Practice accepting and starting to read the file, flipping through each page. Maryati's mother watched Ratih's movements carefully.

"What are you looking for?" Haryati's mother asked gently. Ratih hesitated to answer, but the polwan's eyes in front of him were so friendly, so that Ratih ventured to tell a story.

"I actually want to find Panji, Mr. Sudibyo's son, I want to help him find out the truth of this case."

"There are many irregularities in this case, but the case was declared over when Sudibyo claimed to be your father's sole murderer."

" I was the one who picked up my father when he was discharged from the hospital, and he was very happy at the time because he was recovering from his coronary heart disease." Mother Haryati's heart beat quickly to hear the info from Ratih, a sense of excitement and enthusiasm flowing quickly in her blood.

"really? Do you have a medical record?" Ratih.

"When you're out of the hospital, where are you going?"

"We went straight home, but I went straight away, and he said he wanted to thank someone."

"Did he go alone or did someone accompany him?"

"I know he went alone, but I don't know in the middle of the road maybe he picked up his friend."

Haryati's mother is still rejoicing. Cases that were originally dark began to look light one by one. He looked at the face of Ratih and his mother carefully.

"What is your motivation to take up this case again? Do you realize it's possible that the truth of this case will turn in a different direction that will ruin your family's good name?"

"I don't think so! Our family name has been defiled since time immemorial. Besides uncovering the case, I actually wanted to thank Panji for helping me!"

Haryati's mother observed Ratih's facial expression which seemed to have difficulty revealing what she had in mind. He was still waiting for the continuation of Ratih's words, but nothing came out of Ratih's mouth.

"You were healed by the Panji? are you the woman that Panji hit a few days ago in their former family home? What pain are you suffering from?"

Ratih was shocked when he heard this policewoman say what she was thinking as if she could read his mind.

"True Ma'am! I was healed by Panji. I had uterine cancer and my uterus should have been removed."

"Alhamdulillah, and you are not alone, my husband also healed Panji from his kidney disease while Panji worked in my husband's company. I caught him after he hit you, before I was looking for him to thank you. We talked about this case together, there are new developments that Panji has found, but the information from you is very valuable, he must be very happy to hear this information."

"Mother is still in touch with Panji?" Rehearsed asked enthusiastically.

"Panji now lives in my house in Jakarta, he is now working again, and his sister goes to school there too."

"May I ask for Panji's address in Jakarta? I want to pass this information on to him as well as my thanks."

"Maybe, but can we get a copy of your father's medical record? I'm gonna send a cop to your house to get it." Ratih.

Haryati's mother wrote a paper address and gave it to Ratih. Train to accept it with a happy smile and do not forget to say thank you.
