KALIYA (THE HAUNTED DOLLS)
Chapter 14

A cold gust of air blew the fine hairs on Andara's face as she put Sandrina back to her room.

Mbok Darmi who almost got out of there, immediately prevented it.

" Brook ! " sahut Andara stopped Mbok Darmi's steps.

Mbok Darmi turned his head, he could see how scared Andara was at the moment.

" Can I help you again, Mom? " ask Mbok Darmi turning his body.

" No Mbok ! " andara replied hesitantly, when in fact Andara wanted to be accompanied by her domestic assistant, to jointly look after Sandrina. Worrying about something happening to Sandrina at night. This time Andara believes that everything Sandrina has experienced lately is not caused by the carelessness of Mbok Darmi. Even now Mbok Darmi has saved Sandrina, if no woman knows what else will happen to Sandrina.

" I'm sorry, then, " said Mbok Darmi with a bow and then he passed from the room.

When the room door was closed by Mbok Darmi, immediately the situation returned to a gripping silence.

Drowsiness is not felt by Andara even though her eyes repeatedly tried to shut but still she could not sleep. It felt like someone was observing himself with Sandrina as his eyes closed.

Tonight feels so long felt by Andara. Moments passed, minutes and hours changed. The night is getting late but the drowsiness seems to evaporate just like that. Andara just hugged Sandrina's body tightly when she felt her hair bristling.

Until finally he fell asleep in the middle of his fear and anxiety.

Elsewhere, Anwar was busy staring at the laptop screen. A lot of work forced him to overtime.

A cup of black coffee is available next to him, accompanying him tonight to avoid drowsiness at work.

But the coffee was not useful at all. His eyes felt heavy and tired when he had to constantly stare at the laptop screen containing company files.

Until unconscious, Anwar also overslept when checking one by one his work.

Tap, tap, tap

Steps were heard approaching towards Anwar. His gaze was slightly blurry as he slowly opened his eyes. Caught the figure of a small child but looks faint, then Anwar rubbed his eyes repeatedly.

But the figure was no longer visible. Anwar lifted the body that had originally been lying on the desk, in his vision around the quiet room no one was there but him.

' Maybe just look wrong, ' murmured Anwar inwardly then closed the laptop and walked out of the room, towards his room.

Coincidentally, Anwar's bedroom window faces Andara's house which is a few meters next to his house.

On a whim, Anwar flicked through the window curtain to see Andara's house. From a distance, your house looks quiet. Again Anwar's eyes caught the figure of a small child in one of the windows of the room of the Andara house.

Anwar sharpened his eyesight, convincing that the one standing behind the window was Sandrina. But Anwar is sure, if what he sees now is not Sandrina. Anwar knew exactly the face, stature and long hair of Sandrina.

Back he rubbed his eyes, immediately he was wide-eyed when he saw clearly who the little boy who was now grinning towards him. Sontak Anwar closed the window curtain violently. He walked backwards with his eyes fixed on the window.

" Ma ! " the voice of his wife managed to make Anwar terjankan shocked.

Seeing Anwar's agitated expression, his wife frowned.

" You why Mas? " Wife named Shela also followed the direction of Anwar's eyes were fixed on the window of the room. The window curtain is blown by the wind to move here and there.

" Our Anwar ! " again Shela replied, this time by patting her husband on the shoulder.

" l-iya. " Anwar stuttered.

" What is so strange about his face? Like a demon, he,, he, "Shela laughed amusedly while covering her mouth with one palm.

Anwar changed his strange expression to be more normal, as if it was just an illusion. Not wanting to suspect his wife, Anwar went away saying, "where is there a demon? Negotiate yourself, sleep with me. "

Shela shook her head at her husband's strange behavior, then followed him from behind. Without them noticing Kaliya suddenly appearing behind the curtains of the room window, he stared intently at them.

Fifteen minutes before the doorbell rang, Andara was at Sandrina's school. This time he chose to take Sandrina, and no longer rely on Mbok Darmi who is usually assigned to pick up his daughter to school.

Not that Andara does not believe in Mbok Darmi, but Andara knows that Mbok Darmi is busy with homework that allows late again to pick up Sandrina. In addition, you want to make sure if Sandrina will be okay if picked up by her.

'' I'm sorry, is this with Sandrina's mother? " all of a sudden the homeroom teacher Sandrina approached Andara.

" Yes Ma'am, I'm Sandrina's mother. " Andara immediately got up from her seat, she threw a smile at Miss Susan, her daughter's homeroom teacher.

" Then by chance, there's something I want to talk about, come with me ! " Mrs Susan reached out her hand towards the teacher's room.

Andara did not immediately agree, at a glance he looked to Sandrina's class.

" There's still fifteen minutes to the clock. Just a moment, let's go ! " said Miss Susan who found out that you were waiting for Sandrina to leave the classroom.

Andara answered with a nod and followed in the footsteps of Miss Susan from behind.

Arriving at the teacher's room, Miss Susan let you sit down. There are only one or two teachers there. And they were busy with their respective work so as not to pay attention to the appearance of Miss Susan and Andara in the room.

" What's wrong, Mom? Is there a problem with my son? Or maybe Sandrina was naughty? " a lot of questions come out of your mouth. All this time he never got on the call to the homeroom teacher like he is today.

" No Ma'am, Sandrina's a good kid and never made trouble with her friends. " Mrs Susan looked at Andara.

" then? " Andara is curious.

" So, Mom, sorry if I asked like this. I hope you can help explain Sandrina's situation lately. "

" Wait Mom, what's wrong with my son? "

" After the holidays yesterday, since re-entering school. Sandrina becomes more shy, she tends not to interact with her classmates. More silence and even some of her other friends see Sandrina's mother's son talking to himself, "

Deg !

Your heart seems to stop beating hearing the words of the homeroom teacher Sandrina.

Seeing the look on your face turned pale, the homeroom teacher spoke again.

" Does Sandrina have problems at home? Sorry, I don't want to know your family's privacy. But all of this is for Sandrina's good, " explains Miss Susan.

" No ma'am, at home we're fine. There's no problem whatsoever. " Andara smiled forcefully in the midst of her heart uneasiness.

Kriii

The bell rings. All the kids are out of class.

" I'm sorry ma'am I have to go home, " said Andara.

" Yes, please ! " Samma Susan raised a palm inviting you out of the room.

" Excuse me. " Rushing Andara out of the teacher room, then walked towards Sandrina's class.

But unfortunately Sandrina was not in the classroom, until Andara ran to the gate. She thought Sandrina must be waiting at the gate.

A bad feeling began to fill her heart, Andara was afraid that something might happen again to Sandrina. With a loud breath after running he finally reached the front of the gate.

Many of his students scattered to make Andara difficult to find where Sandrina is.

" Aaaaaaakkk ! " an unfamiliar scream was heard in your ears.

Andara's eyes rounded with a gaping mouth, his knees weak and trembling when he saw Sandrina hit a biker.

" Sandrina ! " cried Andara while running towards the highway which is now in the crowd.

In a limp state it feels so heavy his legs are carried run like now. Andara is really panicking.

People also move aside to make way for Andara.

" Sandrina? " You are bending your knees on the asphalt when you find Sandrina helplessly rolled with blood flowing at the temple to wet her white uniform.

Security and several people who were there immediately called an ambulance to rescue Sandrina. Andara continued to cry while hugging her now unconscious daughter.
