KALIYA (THE HAUNTED DOLLS)
Chapter 8

When all the two employers are going to work, as usual Mbok Darmi is at home with Sandrina who is still off school, tomorrow he just re-entered school.

This time Mbok Darmi was cleaning the room, while Sandrina was playing in the back garden near the pool.

Mbok Darmi is so eager to do his routine, with a humming kawih sunda between his work cleaning every room. No exception to Sandrina's room.

A gust of wind struck Mbok Darmi's wrinkled face as he entered Sandrina's room. And managed to pull out my feathers as soon as he shuddered.

His narrow eyes began to surround each side of the room, still standing in the doorway had not budged in the slightest. He stared and watched his surroundings as fear slipped into his heart.

Back Mbok Darmi's mouth hummed to eliminate the fear that is now difficult to get rid of even more disturbing his mind.

Mbok Darmi stepped into the room and began cleaning the study table, shelves, cabinets and other furniture using a bell in his hand.

With eyes unceasingly glanced to and fro as he felt the cold air blowing his nape behind him.

Mbok Darmi rushed with a mop lap rested near the door. But when he went back in, his mouth was made silent when he saw the blood on the white ceramic floor.

Mbok Darmi rubbed his eyes, making sure there was nothing wrong with his vision. The splash of blood could still be seen even though he had repeatedly rubbed and blinked his eyes.

Continuously bowed, Mbok Darmi followed the direction of the blood trail. Until he stopped in front of the bathroom door that was in the room.

Slightly hesitant he grabbed the bathroom door knob, sweat had spread from the forehead to the neck. The roar of breath was irregular when the situation felt tense and increasingly gripping.

Successfully grabbed the knob, Mbok Darmi also slowly opened the bathroom door. Little by little the door was opened by him, the smell of fishy smell rancid pierced the nose of Mbok Darmi.

Instantly he was aghast when suddenly someone threw a puppet at him. Spontaneous Mbok Darmi caught the doll, but again he was surprised by the face of the doll that seemed familiar to him. But he hasn't remembered when and where he saw the terrible doll before.

Mbok Darmi throws the doll in any direction as he sees the doll in a pool of blood until the blood sticks to both hands of Mbok Darmi.

With a flutter of steps he ran out of the room, his heart beat even more.

Suddenly the sound of screams from out there was caught by him. Mbok Darmi believes the scream is Sandrina's voice. Until he immediately ran to where Sandrina was.

Mbok Darmi widened his eyes when he found Sandrina splashed into a pond that was about 2 meters deep.

" Oh my goodness, Non-Sandrina? " shouted Mbo Darmi with confusion to see the missing Sandrina arise on the surface of the pool water. Sandrina's hand moved as if asking for help but she had difficulty making a sound because her head repeatedly went out into the pool. Both of her legs seemed to hold tightly until Sandrina could not swim.

" Toloooonnng ! " Shouted Mbok Darmi panic.

" What's wrong, Mbok ? " all of a sudden Malvino just happened to come home early because tomorrow he had to leave the city. Malvino will prepare to pack his luggage for tomorrow, but when he arrives home and steps in. Malvino heard Mbok Darmi's screams from the back garden.

" Non Sandrina. " Mbok Darmi pointed his index finger at the pool.

Seeing Sandrina drown, Malvino immediately threw himself into the pool to save his daughter Sandrina. No matter still wearing a work coat, Malvino panicked and went straight down to the pool

Sandrina was brought to the edge, laid out on the edge of the pool. Sandrina's face was already very pale, it seemed like a lot of water had entered her body.

Malvino tries to calm himself even though it is difficult he still has to calm down in order to save Sandrina.

Malvino checked several parts of Sandrina's breathing apparatus, as well as her pulse. Malvino performs several acts as first aid to save Sandrina. Luckily he managed to do it even though actually the knee and the entire body of Malvino was so limp to see the skin and mouth of Sandrina blue.

Immediately he lifted Sandrina into the house, and laid in the room. Mbok Darmi tailed behind Malvino in dismay. Mbok Darmi also helped Sandrina change clothes and soon he took a glass of warm water for Sandrina who had begun to wake up.

" Mbok please get me my shirt too. I want to change clothes here, "the order of Malvino who has not been able to leave Sandrina in a weak state like this.

" Good sir, " said Mbok Darmi immediately walked out of the room to bring a change of clothes Malvino.

Before long Mbok Darmi returned to give clothes to Malvino who was soaked.

" Papi change clothes first in the bathroom, wait a moment ! " malvino said, stroking Sandrina's head.

Sandrina just nodded slowly in response. Malvino rushed into the bathroom and changed clothes after that he again sat next to his daughter who is now being smeared with wind oil by Mbok Darmi to warm Sandrina's frozen body.

Elsewhere, Andara felt a bad premonition in her heart. Suddenly he felt uneasy after accidentally nudging his nudge nudged the glass stored on the workbench. Until the shard was scattered on the floor of the room.

Repeatedly Andara contacted Malvino but never got an answer. Malvino's cell phone can't even be reached. Anxiety grew when he tried to contact the landline and also Sandrina's cell phone. The same thing, Andara's call seemed to be ignored.

The umpteenth time you tried to call Sandrina's phone. Only now has his call been received by Malvino.

" Hello Mam, "excited Malvino after hearing the vibration of Sandrina's phone stored on the nightstand.

" Pap, where ever from mami phone not picked up. It is not active anymore ! " andara said with an anxious tone.

Malvino groped his clothes, he then patted his eel when he realized that his phone might still be in his suit pocket earlier. And it must be wet because it was brought into the pool.

" Pap, why shut up? What's the matter, why doesn't Mami feel good? Did something happen to you or Sandrina? " Andara showered her with many questions.

Malvino also thought that if the incident that happened to Sandrina can be felt by Andara they certainly have an inner bond between mother and child.

" Papi just got home, Sandrina drowned in the pool. " Malvino explained carefully that he did not want to make you panic.

" But now that Sandrina is fine, she's asleep now" she continued.

" What? How can? Mommy's coming home now ! " Without waiting for an answer from her husband Andara hung up the phone. Then hurried away from his study. With mixed feelings he decided to go home immediately after asking permission from his superiors.

Meanwhile Mbok Darmi came out of Sandrina's room with wet clothes used by Malvino and Sandrina. His steps stopped immediately when he saw Sandrina's doll in the back garden chair not far from the pool. Both of his eyebrows are intertwined to see the awkwardness in nature. Obviously, he saw the doll in Sandrina's room he even threw it. Why is it in the back garden now?

Not wanting his sanity to worsen, Mbok Darmi immediately stepped foot back into the laundry room. His heart was filled with many questions that were difficult to answer by logic.
