KALIYA (THE HAUNTED DOLLS)
Chapter 9

In haste Andara walked in as she reached her house.

" Sandrina what happened to you? Is anyone sick? You all right? " Andara immediately rained down on questions because of the worry about her daughter who had just drowned in the pool.

" I'm fine Mami, " answered Sandrina quietly.

" You're calm, Sandrina's okay. " Malvino clasped his wife's fingers.

" Pop how can I calm down to hear Sandrina drowning ? Where can't Mbok Darmi take care of Sandrina? And how the story Sandrina can get into the pool when all this time there has never been such a thing, even since little Sandrina was safe, " cerocos Andara with a sense of panic that never subsided.

" Don't blame anyone else. Maybe Mbok Darmi is busy working, and the disaster can come at any time. " Malvino again calmed his wife.

" I also don't know why Sandrina drowned because when I came she was already in the water. I haven't asked her yet, Sandrina must still be in shock" Malvino said.

" Dear, you promise not to mess around near the pool. Mami who is traumatized if gini, " said Andara by hugging her daughter.

" Sandrina just wanted to grab the doll that fell into the pool. " Sandrina began to remember the events she experienced.

" That means you play too close to the pool, you should just sit in the back garden chair, do not need to be near the pool. Sandrina knew for herself that the pool was deep, "reproved Malvino with a smooth.

" Sandrina was sitting on the chair again, but Sandrina's friend fell her doll into the pool, "Sandrina defended herself.

" friends? " Malvino knitted his eyebrows together.

" It must be Anwar's son. Aye? " You're angry to hear Sandrina's explanation just now. Now his frustration is not only on Anwar but also his son who made Sandrina wretched.

Sandrina nodded slowly.

" Anwar is our new neighbor? " ask Malvino.

" Yes, " answered Andara.

" He likes to play here, tomorrow you don't have to play with him anymore. " Andara is now overprotective.

" Not that Mam, she's a little kid just like Sandrina. The important thing in the future is that you don't play near dangerous places. It's not good to be with Anwar if we forbid his son to play here, " said Malvino.

" Where is he now? Didn't you see him just now? " ask Andara.

" There is no tuh. Maybe he went home immediately because he was surprised to see Sandrina splashed, " replied Malvino.

" Tuh right. Basic son equally father together nyebelin ! " Andara got up and walked into the kitchen to meet Mbok Darmi.

" Mom, " said Andara when he arrived in the kitchen.

Mbok Darmi who daydreamed immediately reached his feet when he heard the speech of Andara.

Mbok Darmi face increasingly pale, in addition to fearing the strangeness in nature, this time he was also afraid of getting angry with his employer because he had neglected to look after Sandrina.

" Tomorrow don't let Anwar's son play here again. I do not want to until Sandrina why-why, "without waiting for answers and explanations Mbok Darmi, Andara again left Mbok Darmi more confused. Because he had never once seen a friend Sandrina play into this house, let alone the child of their new neighbor.

" What does all this mean? Is it possible for Non Sandrina to secretly play with her friend? But I don't think it's possible, some days Non Sandrina played alone, " muttered Mbok Darmi.

His eyes were round as he remembered something and his mind began to guess.

Meanwhile, Andara is stepping intending to return to Sandrina's room.

But his steps came to a halt as his eyes looked towards the back door made of large-sized glass. The slide door was wide open, with the right and left sides of a glass window the size of the slide door.

His eyes caught a doll that was on top of the back garden chair. Andara approached, walking out to the back garden.

The state of silence, there was no other sound than the splashing of water from the fountain shower near the pool.

Andara is now standing right in front of the garden chair, her eyes are watching closely the new doll Sandrina who looks dry.

Andara felt that something was wrong, because Sandrina said that she was splashed when she was going to take her doll in the pool. If that happens, then this Sandrina doll should be wet with water, or it might still be floating on the surface of the pool. There's no way that Malvino brought this doll with him when he saved Sandrina.

Slowly your arms extended, intending to reach for Sandrina's new, monstrous-faced doll. For him, this doll is very mysterious, especially you have seen the exact same doll in the hands of a creepy-faced little boy.

Andara managed to reach for the doll, although not in the ditch fear increasingly whack.

Andara was surprised after touching the doll. Not wet at all, if Malvino had brought it ashore, surely this doll shirt is still wet.

Andara turned back the doll, until accidentally the back button was open and Andara also fixed the button.

For a moment his eyes squinted to see a name on the back of the neck of the doll shirt.

" Kaliya, " said Andara reading the inscription in the doll. Andara remembered the name that felt familiar to her ears.

" Mam ! " Malvino came as a surprise until the doll in Andara's grasp spontaneously fell onto the damp floor.

" What else? " ask Malvino.

" No, let's go to Sandrina's room. " Andara walked past her husband.

" Sandrina is sleeping again, let her rest" said Malvino to stop Andara's steps. The woman turned her body.

" Tomorrow Papi will go out of town, there is a job at the branch office so I have to leave tomorrow" Malvino said.

" If so I pack your luggage first, " said Andara continued his steps that had stopped.

***

The next day Sandrina started going to school. This time it is your duty to take Sandrina to school first and then leave for the office. Usually Sandrina in between by Malvino because they are one way, while you have to turn around if you have to deliver her child before then she goes to the office. But now Malvino has departed from dawn to the airport, because he must have arrived once in the morning outside the city, considering the schedule of his meeting was held early in the morning. In addition, there is also a lot that Malvino has to settle there.

" The spirit of learning is dear ! Later home Mbok Darmi who picked up Sandrina, "Andara said by kissing Sandrina's cheek when he arrived at the school gate.

" Okay, Mama, bye ! " Sandrina got out of the car and waved her hand.

Seeing Sandrina enter the gate, Andara immediately started his car engine. But suddenly he was surprised to see a figure who seemed to be watching him behind a large tree in front of the school fortress. It was about four meters from where the car was parked.

Andara noticed the figure of a little boy who was familiar to her, but her gaze this time was blocked by some students who walked past and entered the school gate. The figure finally disappeared, Andara let out a long sigh.

" Maybe it's just my illusion to think too much about it, " andara murmured and then drove a car across the highway.
