Rania's Invisible Search
PART 177 GRIEVING.
I went to Mas Adit, to confirm the truth. Whether Fendi's body still has a morgue or not. Mas Adit just shrugged his shoulders, he could not say anything, because indeed the case was not him who handled.
"Later I try to find information first, what else is Ran?"
"It looks like the boarding boy who lives next to me is his sister Fendi. That's why I want to confirm first, really or not. Fendi said, if there is no one to take the body for two more days, the hospital will bury him without a name. That's why I want to confirm to Heni first, he has a brother whose name is Fendi or not. It's a pity that he's buried without any clear evidence."
"Yes, you have come home, confirm to Heni. I'm gonna go find out about Fendi's body. I'll call you back." Obviously before he finally left.
I deliberately did not accept Mas Adit's offer to take me home. Let him go straight away to find the information we need.
"Keep our plan what Ran?" Mbak Lia asked staring at Fendi's pale face.
"We take care of Fendi's body first. It's sorry it's time to take two more days. Going to the boarding house, I want the same name Heni."
Fendi seemed moved by my efforts to help him. He doesn't think I should do that, let alone that we don't know each other. I just explained, whoever he is, if I am able and able to God willing I will help solve his problems.
"What do you think is that me and Lia know each other? We just happened to meet in a travel car, and I'm sorry to see Lia's moody mom alone. He doesn't know that he's just a bodyless soul, once I tell him what it is, Lia did not believe it. I remember having met him a few times. You always follow Lia everywhere. I was once shocked the first time you were mediocre. Though you realize, when I can see your form, but you don't ask for anything from me like the other demits. That's why I feel weird, how do you usually not wonder or how it is."
"At that time, I only regretted one thing. Why should I not go this way. I was sad to see Lia crying every time she was alone. I followed him because I was worried about him."
"So you have the same feeling, Sister Lia?"
My question makes Fendi awkward. He didn't answer my question.
"Yes, you two talked together first. If you've already passed me to the boarding house, so you can make sure that my neighbor Heni is really your sister or not." I said as I walked away.
I went back to the boarding house using the online taxi service. I see Heni's room is still locked, maybe he hasn't come home or gone out somewhere. I saw Ce Edoh cleaning the side yard, and he said that the always-closed living room sounded noisy. He thinks it's like someone's on the move there. I myself have never heard of it directly. And the key to the room was only Ma'am Ayu who kept it. So I can't look in there.
"What business is it, Maak Ayu? How long old tumben went." Ce Edoh asked by hooking his two eyebrows together.
Gosh darn. I forgot to tell Ce Edoh, that Ms. Ayu is being treated at the hospital. Because when I got here, I was immediately busy with Lia's affairs. I explained to Ce Edoh about the condition of Mbak Ayu and also Om Dewa, immediately he immediately filled with tears. Ce Edoh said, if Mbak Ayu was like his own son. Because since he worked in this house, Ce Edoh is the one who takes care of Mbak Ayu more often than Om and his aunt.
"Help me Ce, may they be healed."
"Amin to Allah. But where is Bu Ajeng Mbak? Does she not know if her husband and niece are sick?"
I took a deep breath, I don't know what to say to Ce Edoh. There's no way I'm telling the truth, because it's very sensitive.
"It just so happens that you're home. There's something I want to talk about just as you're important!"
Heni came up to me and sat beside me by hooking his eyebrows together. Shortly after that Ce Edoh said goodbye, and there was only me with Heni. I was confused to open a conversation, where maybe suddenly I asked her what her brother's name was.
"What's wrong, Ma'am, he said he wanted to say important even diem?" Heni asked curiously.
I snap my fingers as soon as I get the idea. I'm talking about my brother who just got married. Then I mentioned about his brother, whether his brother Heni was married. But Heni chuckles, according to him his brother never introduced his girlfriend.
"When my brother's age is fit for the marriage. But boro-boro prospective wife, boyfriend is not clear or not there."
"Emang Abang lu busy what Hen, until not married yet?"
"When I was in High School, my brother helped me pay for school. Thank God I went to college to get a Maak scholarship, so the cost is lighter, and you can pay for the rest. So that Brother can mourn for his marriage."
"What's so cool about Brother Lu Hen, where does he work?"
"In Jakarta too Ma'am, in the coffee shop Starbeck, but right there we do not see him. Maybe Bang Fendi's again off his job."
Deghs.
My heart beat irregularly, hearing Heni's explanation. So he really is Fendi's sister. Shortly after that the figure of Fendi and Mbak Lia came. Seen Fendi's pale face turned soft, he was bowed by holding back his tears. I can't stand that moving sight. And finally I got carried away and shed tears. Mbak Lia's figure calmed Fendi down, and asked him to calm down. But unlike Heni who knows nothing. He scratched his non-itchy head, and was surprised to see me suddenly crying. I'm so nervous not knowing what to say to her.
"Why the hell, Mommy? How are you crying? You're overwhelmed by my story, aren't you?" Heni asked as he brought his face closer to me.
Triings.
There was a message coming in from Mas Adit, he sent me pictures of Fendi during the accident. And justifies if the body is without identity. Since I couldn't say anything to Heni, I finally gave my phone and showed Mas Adit a message. Heni was confused as to why I gave her a cell phone. As soon as he saw my phone screen, he rounded his eyes by shaking his head. Clear threads began to wet his eyelids. Heni spoke in a trembling voice, asking where I got the pictures from. I'm just explaining, if that's a photo from the police.
"Be patient, Hen, you must be steadfast in facing reality."
There was no response from Heni, he cried hysterically by shouting Fendi's name repeatedly. While the figure of Fendi getting crushed and slumped to see the cry of his sister. I hugged Heni so he calmed down a little. Although I know, this bad news shook his heart too much. Heni just kept crying nonstop, and I asked her to tell her family in the village.
"Heni strengthen your heart, this is the important thing I want to explain to you. My cop friend had trouble finding the identity of the victim, because he didn't carry the identity of the time of the accident. If for two days no family took the body, then the body had to be buried without a name. Because now that I know, if it's your family, then you better call your parents soon. Pity your brother's soul, bound without certainty."
Only the sound of Heni's cry was heard, until finally his body went limp and fell unconscious. I panicked and shouted to Ce Edoh to help me bring Heni into his room. While the figure of Fendi increasingly worried the younger brother, he darted closer to his sister and tried to touch Heni's head. But his efforts were in vain, because his empty hand penetrated his sister's body.
