Rania's Invisible Search
PART 173 MEETS THE SOUL WITHOUT BODY.
That morning, I cleaned up all my things and waited for the car. Lala couldn't accompany me, because she had to go to work early in the morning. And he just left me a message. Only Bude Walimah is with me.
"Bude, please tell Wati yes, if Rania returns to Jakarta. Hape Wati cannot be contacted!"
"Yes Nduk, remember Bude's message. Never leave the five prayers. Bude knows Kartika has a grudge against you, your enemies there are increased besides Ajeng there is also Kartika. Especially now that Dahayu's condition is still critical, he can't help you again!"
"God willing Bude, Rania will always remember Bude's message." I said while hugging him.
Shortly after, the car came. I say goodbye to Bude while peeling the back of his hand. Somehow this time it was sadder to leave Bude in the village. Even though when separated from Mama and Papa I was not this sad. Bude looked teary-eyed as he waved his hand. And the car drove away from the yard. For the last time I looked around, almost all the neighbors waved their hands saying goodbye to me. Arriving at the border gate, I saw the appearance of women in kebaya clothes. He often shows his form when I pass through his territory. He was standing floating, looking at me grinning. Maybe he wanted to accompany me. Almost all the villagers, both humans and supernatural beings, seemed to greet me before I left.
"Is this Adek much loved, huh?" Wrestling a mother sitting next to me.
I was surprised to hear it. He could see invisible creatures too.
"Don't be surprised Deck, I can also see them. Look at the back bench, there is a woman who sits with her head down. It seems he didn't realize he was dead, or what. Clearly, several times he greeted the person sitting beside him. But because he felt ignored, he was silent. I want to tell him if he's not human anymore. But I was confused as to how he said, surely the person sitting next to him would be frightened. I thought I was talking alone!" Said the mother, turning her head back.
Curious after hearing his words. I looked back, and saw a woman who was bowing her head. Whether he really is a bodyless soul, I can't be sure if he doesn't see his face, or his gestures. Because sometimes a bodyless soul that has just died or is in a coma, it is very difficult to distinguish. Because they still act like humans.
"Later we'll find out, ma'am, the journey is still a long way. We better rest first, when we get to the rest area, then I'll try to talk to him."
After hearing my explanation, the mother immediately rested and closed her eyes. While I was wondering if the woman behind was not human. Due to the medicinal effects of the headache, I finally fell asleep soundly. The driver woke the passengers up to eat. Every trip up this trip, I always get a dinner ration. I looked back, the woman was no longer in her place.
"Deck deck here!" Mom screamed with her hand to me.
I rushed to the mother, she showed me that the female passenger was sitting alone in the corner of the restaurant.
"Let's tell you he's not human anymore. Let him not disturb the other passengers."
"Wait a minute, ma'am, we can't come from the negur. Who knows if he's not dead, or just unconscious. Because I've encountered this case too, and the guy turns out to be in a coma at the Hospital."
The mother just nodded her head, asking me to greet the woman first. And just a few steps away, the woman realized our arrival. He raised his head, then smiled at us. Seen the look of the mother's face confused, he scratched the head that did not itch.
"Why are we even called to Dek? It seems he doesn't know that..."
"Ssttt shut up first Ma'am. It seems I've seen it somewhere but where is it." I said by massaging the base of the nose.
"Just call Lia, I don't think anyone wants to talk to. Because for a few days I was having a lot of problems at work, so I looked like a mess. So I took the initiative to take five days off to go home to meet the parents. But still I think about the problems at my job."
"Where does Ma'am Lia work?" Ask the curious Mother.
"In Jakarta Bu, in a famous coffee shop, which is quite rame around Pantai Indah Kapuk."
"Huh. Pantai Indah Kapuk, Famous Coffee Shop? Does Miss Lia work at Starbeck?" I said by hooking both eyebrows.
"Well, how do you know Ran?" Ask her with a pale face.
I didn't answer the question right away, I kept quiet and focused my mind. When I remember back, I did feel familiar with the face of Ms. Lia. And then came the images of what happened when I met and accidentally hung out with her at the Starbeck Store and in the car. I flicked my finger as soon as I remembered the incident. Lia's mother is a woman who is followed by the spirit of a man who was the victim of an accident. And apparently, the man was his co-worker at the Shop. I took a deep breath before continuing my conversation. And there was a cry from the driver of the trip, if we will continue the journey fifteen minutes more.
"Did anyone die a few days ago?" I asked to look at him seriously.
Looking at his pale face in panic, he turned his head in various directions nervously.
"Calm down! I was just asking, because I've been to the Starbeck Store before and seen Madam Lia there. But I also saw the spirit of the man who always followed you. Even not only in Kedak, when Mbak Lia was driving the car, the figure of the man was also beside Mbak Lia. Does Lia know him?"
Ms. Lia did not answer my question, she actually cried a mouthful by covering her face. Now the mother was more curious, and she suddenly said, if the figure was the same as her. So he should not be afraid anymore, if followed by the figure of the man. Before long Sister Lia stopped her crying. He saw us with his eyes round.
"What do you mean, ma'am? The man that Rania was referring to died. He can't live anymore!" Loudly.
"Yes yes Lia! Anyone who has died can live again! I mean that, yes, Lia Ma'am is the same as that figure. Just an invisible creature. That's why they can't all see Ma'am, only we can!" The mother said, sipping drinking water.
I was surprised to see Lia's reaction. She cried hysterically at the sight of her palm. He sat on the floor with tears in his eyes.
"So he can still stick to the floor anyway. That means he's not dead, maybe he's unconscious, and his soul is leaving his body." My mind in my heart guesses.
"Wait on! Looks like this Lia Ma'am still has a chance at life. I don't see, his feet can still stick on the ground. That means, his body is still in this world. Maybe Lia's body is somewhere. Did anything happen to you before?" I asked while squatting in fronto.
All the diners saw me in wonder. They said I was depressed for talking alone. I got awkward and got up. I cannot bear to see the soul of Sister Lia stuck in two realms like this. I don't want to have to help him find his way back into his body. But there is a mystery what is between Mbak Lia and the spirit figure of the man. Lia's mother was the perpetrator who had rammed the man to death. I didn't expect, after leaving the Village, I would deal with things like this. Perhaps my encounter with the ghostly figure of that man was not a coincidence. It seems that God asked me to help him, so that the spirit of the man could rest in peace. And Sister Lia's soul can return to her body.
