The Three Chosen
16. Play Same Ghost

Hanako is now eight years old and is in third grade at Elementary School. While the twins only entered TK A at the age of four years. Their relationship is getting closer because Faiq deliberately set a special schedule for the three in order to meet at the weekend.

“ Brother wants Iyaz, Izar and Hanako so close and can recognize each other's aura from a distance

several meters. So they can know what their brother needs in a certain moment. If for Iyaz and Izar clearly no problem because they are born twins and already have a special bond since in the womb. But here there is Hanako who also has to learn to know the character of the twins and vice versa...,” Faiq said when Efliya asked her purpose, asking Hanako to come on weekends regularly.

“ But why not at home I'm a Bang, well I mean replace it occasionally the twins who visit the house..,” said Efliya.

“ Are you ready if your house has an uncomfortable aura El..?” ask Faiq.

“ What does Brother mean anyway.?” efliya asked not to understand.

“ We will train the children to be able to take advantage of their advantages. If here, Abang can handle because this house has been commonly visited by invisible creatures who often ask for help with Brother, different from your home. Therefore Brother asked us to gather here as well as train the three bocils..,” said Faiq.

“ Oh that. Yes, I'm the one who came here Bang. I am not ready if I have to squirm the appearance or the like in my house.” Efliya said while shaking her shoulder to make Faiq smile.

“ We don't have to stay at El's house. We can also train them in the open as well as refreshing so as not to saturate..,” said Faiq.

“ Wah can Bang. Where and when..?” asked Efliya enthusiastically.

“ Now We are to Thousand Islands. Insha Allah We stayed overnight on one of the islands there.” Faiq said quickly.

“ Now, how sudden is Bang. I haven't done anything yet.” said Efliya riled.

“ What do you want to do anyway Ef...?” shera asked with a smile.

“ Well the name also has a small child, there must be prepared right Kak..,” said Efliya.

“ You are calm. All of my brothers are ready. We just stay the way. Tuh, Heru was already standing by in front..,” said Shera while pointing at Heru who was sitting on the front porch.

Efliya turned and saw her husband joking with Hanako and the twins on the porch. Efliya smiled and rushed after her husband.

“ Bundaa..!” call Hanako and throw her into Efliya's arms.

“ Yes Dear. We want to go for a walk today, Hanako happy yes..?” efliya asked as she tidied up Hanako's hijab.

“ Happy dong Bun. Moreover, the road together with Iyaz and Izar..,” said Hanako enthusiastically.

“ But I don't like the road with Cici Bun. Cici's absence is chatty..,” said Izar ketus to make Efliya laugh.

“ Indiscriminately by the way. I'm not a fussy ya, but I'm telling you not to fall...,” sahut.

Hanako doesn't accept it.

“ But if you know it's rich that's the name is chatty Cici..,” said Iyaz while embracing the shoulder of his twin and is called Izar.

“ Iiihh, You guys are really cool anyway..,” said Hanako while stomping her feet to the ground and then stepping

get in the car.

Heru and Efliya laughed again at the small commotion between Hanako and the twins. While Farah and Erik who was also watching the behavior of his three grandchildren also laughed.

“ Papa same Mama ga follow.?” ask Efliya.

“ Ga first yes Son. There was an invitation from Papa's friend that We had to attend. Insha Allah next time We join..” Erik said while gently rubbing Efliya's back.

“ Ga exclamation dong, but gapapa deh..,” said Efliya then hugged Erik and Farah alternately.

Soon, Farah and Erik let go of their children, daughter-in-law and granddaughter who will be on vacation with a big smile.

\=====

The Faiq group arrived on one of the islands in the Thousand Islands after traveling by sea. Upon arriving at the island in question they are greeted by a man who turns out to be Faiq's friend named Zacki.

“ Assalamualaikum Zack..,” greet Faiq.

“ Wa alaikumsalam Faiq's. How are you, kirain ga so come here..,” said Zacky while embracing Faiq tightly.

“ Insha Allah so be it. Oh, I know my family. This is My Wife, My Sister and that is Her Police Husband.” Faiq said as he introduced his family members one by one.

“ Cool. Who are the three cute kids..?” zacki asked while pointing at Hanako and the twins.

“ The twins are My Son, the beautiful is my nephew. Children, here greetings first the same Om Zacki...!” call Faiq.

Iyaz, Izar and Hanako approach Faiq and kiss the back of Zacki's hand as a greeting.

Afterwards the three ran on the beach laughing happily. Shera and Efliya join their three children while Faiq and Heru choose to talk to Zacki.

“ Situation rame gini Yes Bang kalo weekend..?” ask Heru.

“ Yes, so if Faiq ga make a promise first same I do not necessarily meet with I now. Understand that I'm the guide ngetop, so many guests who ask me to be their tour guide during their time on this island..,” joked Zacki to make Faiq crackle.

Heru laughed at Faiq's reaction when Zacki said that. Especially when Faiq replied to Zacki's joke, the three of them laughed again. Meanwhile, Shera and Efliya are busy observing the twins and Hanako who are busy playing sand while enjoying the young coconut water that Zacki serves.

Iyaz, Izar and Hanako are making sand castles. Each one makes a different shape. And it was when Iyaz accidentally saw the figure of a small child who was playing alone near the boat leaning on the beach.

Initially Iyaz wanted to ignore the little boy, but he paled because he felt pity. Then Iyaz approached the little boy to invite him to play together. Iyaz was a little hesitant because he saw the appearance of the little boy who ‘ is a bit different’. His body and clothes were shabby, his face was also pale with dry skin as if dehydrated.

“ Hi, why here by yourself. How about playing with Me and my brother there.” said Iyaz friendly.

“ It can..?” ask the five-year-old.

“ Can dong. Come with me...,” invite Iyaz while holding the little boy's hand.

“ I Ayaz, if this is my twin name Izar. If that one calls aja Cici..,” said Iyaz while introducing Izar and Hanako who seemed to smile kindly welcomed Adi.

Feeling that he has a place, Adi joins the twins and Hanako to build a sand castle.

Moments later their game ends after they successfully build a sand castle as they see fit.

“ We change the game yuk...,” Hanako said.

“ Yes, I am also tired of playing sand..,” Izar said.

“ Keep playing what dong...?” ask Iyaz.

“ How to play hide umpet aja..,” Adi's advice.

“ Friday night, where to meet. There is no place to hide..,” Hanako said.

“ Can, there near the boat a lot of places to hide..,” said Adi while pointing to a row of boats that were leaning on the beach.

Hanako and the twins stared at each other for a moment then nodded. Then the four of them shifted near the boat to play hide and seek. Efliya and Shera were not disturbed by the movements of Hanako and the twins because they could still be seen directly from where they were sitting.

The game of hide and seek takes place exciting. They alternated looking. Until Hanako's turn to lose and have to look for Iyaz, Izar and Adi. At that time, Iyaz hid with Adi. But because of fear of being caught, Adi also climbed into the boat.

“ Don't stick in there Di, later Cici hard to hear..” said Iyaz reminded.

“ Let's Excite Yaz. If it is easy to meet ga excursion..,” said Adi who has managed to get on the boat and hide in it.

As Adi had guessed, Hanako easily found Iyaz and Izar hiding between the row of boats. But Hanako has trouble finding Adi who is hiding in the boat. Hanako calls Adi's name to get out of her hiding place but fails.

“ Adi You bumped where the hell..?!” hanako asked in a loud voice.

While not far from Hanako looks Iyaz and Izar smiles secretly to see Hanako who is getting upset because of fatigue looking for Adi.

“ I'm tired of it. You know where Adi is..?” hanako asked the twins.

“ I know, but what's the reward if I tell you..?” ask Iyaz.

“ Mmm, ration ice cream I made you..,” sahut Hanako origin.

“ Ok deal. Adi is in there.” said Iyaz half-whispering as he pointed into the boat where Adi was hiding.

“ Inside there, you sure..?” ask Hanako in doubt.

“ Yes, already hunted deh..,” sahut Iyaz gemas.

Hanako, Iyaz and Izar climbed into the boat. But when Hanako managed to set foot on the inside of the boat she seemed surprised and stopped stepping until making Iyaz and Izar protest.

“ Jalan dong Ci, why stop there anyway. I almost fell down...,” protest Izar.

“ Even dumbfounded again. Cici..!” iyaz jolted to the surprise of Hanako who reflexively turned towards Iyaz while

pointing at something with his index finger.

“ What's up..?” ask Iyaz and Izar together.

“ It....,” Hanako said with a choked voice.

Hanako, Iyaz and Izar saw Adi sitting motionless with a dry body. The clothes that he

wear the same even if it looks torn here and there. Beside him was seen the spirit of Adi standing while looking at his body with a sad look and turned towards Hanako, Iyaz and Izar.

" Thank you for finding my body. No one knows if I've died since a few days ago because I hid here just like playing hide and seek with my friends. Thanks Iyaz, Izar, Cici..," said Adi's spirit with a smile before disappearing into the sea breeze.

Hanako, Iyaz and Izar were stunned for a moment to witness the strange phenomenon before them. A second later without warning the three screamed loudly calling their father.

“ Ayaahh...!” screams of Iyaz, Izar and Hanako together.

You can guess how Faiq and Heru reacted. The two turned their heads towards the origin of the voice and ran as fast as they could

in all probability. Shera and Efliya, who heard the screams of the three children, panicked. Now not only the Faiq family made a scene, but all tourists and island administrators.

Faiq and Heru rushed up into the boat and immediately hugged the three screaming children in fear. After successfully calming the three, Faiq and Heru began to take care of Adi's body which was stretched stiff on the floor of the boat.

“ You guys are gapapa.?” faiq asked as he rubbed Hanako's head and the twins took turns.

Hanako and the twins shook their heads and then buried their faces in the arms of the mother. Faiq grabbed Iyaz from Shera's embrace and carried her. Faiq did not expect that this holiday will have to deal directly with the mystical thing.

“ You are gapapa Nak..?” asked Faiq while pecking at Iyaz's head fondly.

“ Gapapa Well. Just surprised. You see, Izar Sama Cici abis played with Adi. Kok tau-tau Adi is already rich that..,” sahut Iyaz lirih.

“ You guys played together earlier..?” ask Faiq amazed.

“ Yes Well...,” says Yes steady.

Faiq shook his head in salute to Hanako and the twins' ability to interact

with the ghost of Adi who is thought to have died since a few days ago.
