KALIYA (THE HAUNTED DOLLS)
Chapter 21

" Where are you going, Mom? It's neat, it's still early in the morning. " Malvino glanced at the wall clock displayed in his room. The hour hand shows at six in the morning.

He's the one who entered the office this morning, still lounging on the bed. But Andara his wife has dressed up beautiful even though Malvino knows very well that his wife is no longer working.

" I'm going to Bogor. " Andara answered by still busy looking in front of the mirror, spraying perfume on the neck and the whole body. The smell was out in the air.

" To Bogor? Whynot? " Malvino is now sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at his wife who is now turning his body but still sitting on the dresser chair.

" I want to find information about Kaliya and her family, " replied Andara.

" What? By himself? Why didn't you tell me before, ask permission first. What if I don't let you go? " Malvino doesn't want anything bad to happen to his wife. Moreover, the trip from their place to Bogor is quite time consuming.

" I'm still going for Sandrina. " Andara started to be stubborn and as if she became paranoid after experiencing the terrors in her life lately.

" Why wait for my work holiday first. Let me take you, " said Malvino.

" What about Sandrina if Papi leaves too? Papi is here anyway, I go for a day or two. Later I will spend the night at Mother's house if not, I find lodging. " Andara grabbed the bag lying on the nightstand.

" I'm saying yes. If not quickly, it can get stuck. " Andara kissed her husband's cheek.

" Be careful ! " called Malvino, his heart was heavy to let go of his wife especially Andara went alone. But Malvino can't stop Andara. All for Sandrina. Malvino thought Andara would go to the police station in Bogor. Unbeknownst to him if Andara will seek information with the help of the magical figure of Kaliya directly. Collect evidence at the scene. Because Kaliya has been unable to do anything, he has been different nature to not be able to prove who the real perpetrator of the murder that took his life.

" Would you go ? " ask Mbok Darmi surprised to see Andara is neat.

" Yes Mbok, I want to go to Bogor. I'm Sandrina, Mbok, "andara's pinta.

" To Bogor? " Mbok Darmi is astonished.

" yes. There's business there that can't be delayed. " Andara also said goodbye, he also warned Mbok Darmi to take care of Sandrina well until Malvino came home from the office later.

All the way from the capital to the rainy city is quite smooth, only a little jammed but not so bad. Until you can get there faster.

He was now passing through a path that was already very familiar to him. The area where Sandrina bought a doll that turned out to be a Kaliya spirit doll.

Andara slowed down the speed of the vehicle while glancing towards the stall lined up on the shoulder of the road.

Youara narrowed her eyes when she did not find the stall she was referring to. The kiosk where the doll shop he had visited a few weeks ago, where Sandrina bought a Kaliya doll.

" Why can't there be? I'm sure this is the place to be, but, "You're so curious that she decided to pull over for a while. Who knows, he will get information related to Kaliya's death.

Andara got out of the car, staring one by one at the row of stalls in front of her.

" Excuse neng. Want to find a place to eat? Or souvenirs? " ask a parking attendant who is in his twilight now approach him kindly.

" Yes, sir, I'm looking for food. But first I want to ask. Which doll shop is over here? " Andara shows one of the stalls that changed drastically into a klontong stall but the design of his stall looks the same as the others. Unlike last week when Andara came, the stall was occupied by a doll shop with an ancient style and has not been renovated as it is now.

The carpenter scrunched his frown furrowed as his eyes followed the direction of Andara's index finger. Then the net is now staring at the wonder of Andara.

" I'm sorry, but there's no doll shop. " Said the parking attendant with a bow.

" Well, sir? A few weeks ago, I bought a doll there. " You're getting suspicious, it seems there's more awkwardness going on.

" But the kiosk here was renovated two years ago and it's like this condition, if it used to be there was a doll shop but,,, " The Parking Manager did not continue his sentence, making Andara curious.

" But what sir? Have you worked at this place for a long time? " search Andara want to dig information from parents who work as parking attendants.

" It's been ten years. "

You are increasingly convinced that the parents in front of him will give him more information.

" Can we talk for a minute, sir? Do you want breakfast, have you not had breakfast yet? " ask Andara holding her stomach which began to rumble.

The parking lot manager did not answer, he just followed in the footsteps of Andara who began to enter the rice stall.

" What do you want to order food? Let me pay, "ask Andara.

" Seriously sir? I ate here by myself, so I ordered coffee. How's it? " ask Andara.

" Can neng. But coffee is bitter, "he replied.

" Okay, just a moment, sir ! " Andara stood towards the place where the food message was.

" Mom, order rames rice one, warm tea water same bitter coffee one. Take it to the table ! " andara's pinta on the rice shop waiter.

" Good ma'am, "he replied with a slight buzzing.

He soon sat back waiting for their order to arrive.

" Well, by the way, is it okay to stay for a while? " ask Andara at the parking lot.

" Nothing neng, there are others outside, "point it towards the glass that is directly visible towards the parking lot.

" Oh yeah. Sorry about whose father? Let me not stiffly talk. My name is Andara. " Andara stuck out her hand.

" Cosim. " Parker named Kosim also shook the hand of Andara.

A little cold hand of the parking attendant, but Andara thought it was natural because the weather at the top was cold.

" So how, sir? Is it true that the doll shop has not been in this location for a long time? " search Andara.

" About seven years ago. The doll shop was closed after the owner died. " Kosim's gaze seemed empty looking straight ahead.

" died? " Andara rounded her eyes.

Kosim nodded slowly. If observed Kosim face slightly pale and flat.

" Who is the owner? " andar asked back.

" His name is Purwa and his wife is Sinta. They have a child named Kaliya, " replied Kosim who is now staring intently at Andara.

" Mommy, here's the order ! " the voice of the servant suddenly surprised him.

" Oh yes thanks Ma'am ! " Andara grabbed the food she ordered. Then Andara grabbed a bitter coffee order Kosim.

" This is Mr. Kosim's coffee, in a drink. " Anda offered coffee to Kosim who was sitting on his side.

" Why mbak? " Andara felt uncomfortable seeing the waiter still staring at the place with a confused and pale face.

" No ma'am, I'm sorry. Please enjoy, "he said while inching from where he stood.

" Yes, thank you. " Andara shook her head in surprise at the manner of the servant.

Andara ate the food she ordered. His stomach was really asked to fill considering that he had not had time to eat breakfast at home.

" Can you tell me about the doll shop owner? " ask Andara while chewing her food.

" I know Purwa well. He is a good and tenacious person in trading. In addition, he was also very generous, often giving food to us who worked in the parking lot. But it was a pity that day was the last day to meet him. Purwa, who was with his son at the store, suddenly came home after hearing bad news. "

" Bad news? mean father? "

" I don't know. What was clear after that, news was heard about the death of Purwa and his son named Kaliya. "

" I'm sorry sir, do you know this doll? " Andara showed me a picture of Kaliya's doll on her phone.

" Yes very well know. It's Kaliya's beloved doll. Until the moment of death, the doll was inserted into the burrow along with the body, "

" What? "
