The Three Chosen
281. Must Choose
After saying the unseen bond between her and Pieter, Malini's ghost breaks into the room. Faiq and his two children enter because Malini's ghost will hurt Pieter.
Seeing what Faiq and the twins were doing, priest Xavier and Fatur entered the room. There they saw the ghost of Malini standing near Pieter's head while looking at him closely. While Pieter looks restless accompanied by Thalia who is still crying.
“ Don't do that Malini...” Faiq said as he shook his head.
Thalia who heard Faiq say the name Malini was surprised and turned to Faiq. He saw Faiq looking to his right side and seemed to shake his head while Thalia saw nothing beside him.
Then Thalia looked at Pieter's sweaty face and looked agitated. Thalia reached out her hand to wipe Pieter's sweaty forehead. But Thalia was surprised to feel that something brusquely brushed her hand away as if it was preventing her from touching Pieter.
Thalia frowned and thought it was just a hallucination. But when Thalia did the same thing again, the incident happened again and it made Thalia surprised not kepalang.
Thalia jumped out of her seat staring at everyone in the room in turn to make sure they saw what she was going through.
“ You saw what happened just now, you saw...?” ask Thalia gusar.
“ Yes Son...,” said pastor Xavier represents everything.
“ What is this really about, please tell me the same I...,” said Thalia almost cried.
Reverend Xavier seemed to take a deep breath and turned to Fatur and Faiq as if asking them for permission to convey what Pieter had experienced to Thalia. Upon seeing Fatur and Faiq nodding his head, the priest Xavier led Thalia away from Pieter.
“ I hope you can be patient and not surprised to hear my story..” said pastor Xavier.
“ I am strong Reverend, please say..” pinta Thalia is impatient.
“ Good. Have you ever heard of Malini..?” ask pastor Xavier.
“ Ever. It's not that Grandma's nurse Pieter. Nek Uli always called Malini's name before he died. Nek Uli said, Malini is a good girl. But he left because their family had hurt him. Nek Uli said he regretted not being able to fight for Malini's fate. Actually what happened Pastor..?” ask Thalia.
Reverend Xavier turned to Faiq and asked him to tell him what had happened.
“ Long before you married Pieter, Nek Uli was taken care of by Malini. But something happened. Because of living in the same house and often interacting, Malini and Pieter finally liked each other and established a relationship without the knowledge of the family. Eventually, Malini became pregnant. Unfortunately, Pieter is not responsible. Pieter is even hostile to Malini and always tortures Malini including forcing Malini to abort his womb. Pieter's parents had tried to persuade but always failed and made Pieter go berserk. Maybe that's what Nek Uli meant if he failed to fight for the fate of Malini.” said Faiq to make Thalia surprised.
Faiq accidentally misses the story of Pieter who almost married his own sister-in-law, Lizara, because Faiq does not want to make Thalia and Pieter's household a mess later.
“ Now Malini where..?” ask Thalia.
“ Malini passed away on the day of your wedding..,” Faiq said quickly.
“ Then why did Om call Malini's name earlier..?” tanya Thalia did not understand.
“ Because I saw Malini's spirit coming. He wanted to pick up Pieter and take her away.” Faiq said.
“ What, can not dong. Malini is different from Pieter. Now Pieter is my Husband and only I have the right to have it.” Thalia said.
“ But Malini and Pieter are bound by Nak's oath, and that makes them bound to die.
“ Ga can, Pieter ga can go..!” thalia started crying.
Hearing pastor Xavier's words made Thalia hysterical. He finally understood why every time they went to the doctor they always got the same answer. All the doctors said if Pieter was normal, maybe just exhausted so Pieter couldn't do his job. Apparently there was a supernatural thing that accompanied Pieter so that he always failed to fulfill his duties.
“ You evil Pieter, You lied to me. You said I'm the only woman you love after your Mama. But what actually. Even though I'm the woman you love, but you've given yourself to other women before Me. You're evil Pieter..!” thalia says hysterically.
“ Control yourself Son. Not that you promised to be patient earlier..,”’’ said pastor Xavier reminded.
“ I hurt Pastor, I was lied to by My own Husband.
“ Forgive her Thalia. If you do love her, let her go..” said Faiq.
“ I don't want Om, I don't want to.!” sahut Thalia.
“ Don't be greedy Thalia. Not that you've been in a relationship with another man, why still insist on keeping Pieter by your side.?” asked Faiq annoyed.
“ I'm not in any relationship with him Om, I just want to make Pieter jealous.
“ And you succeeded. Now release him Thalia, do not torment Pieter with your tears.
“ Ga want, Pieter can't go..!” sahut Thalia hugged Pieter with possessiveness.
Seeing Thalia's attitude pissed off Malini's ghost. He pushes Thalia's body away from Pieter. Just a light push but it was able to make Thalia fall down. Realizing that he fell because of Malini, Thalia rose up angrily and immediately cursed the ghost of Malini.
“ Stop bothering My Husband Malini. She's mine because it's only me she married not you.!” thalia lantang said.
Malini growled angrily at Thalia's words. He threw everything nearby to the floor, causing a noise. Thalia screamed in fear as she saw the surrounding objects flying without being touched by anyone. With a trembling body Thalia clasped tightly onto Pieter's hand as if to say that Pieter was hers.
The angry ghost of Malini did the same. He pulled the red rope that bound him and Pieter. A strong touch made Pieter's hand in Thalia's grasp was released. Afterwards ghosts
Malini moved the red rope to make the body of Pieter who was lying down jerked up with a sitting position.
Thalia was surprised and retreated backwards to see Pieter's body sitting upright with her eyes closed. Then the strangeness happened. Pieter's originally shrunken stomach again grew and made Pieter, who closed her eyes, appear to grin in pain while holding her stomach.
Slowly Pieter opened her eyes while moaning softly. He also looked at Thalia with a sad look.
“ I'm sorry Thalia.., sorry..” said Pieter.
“ I'm sorry you Pieter but hold on. Hang on for me Pieter, come on you can definitely..” Thalia said in a hoarse voice.
“ I'm not strong Talia, it hurts a lot..” said Pieter while shedding tears.
“ Don't go Pieter, please hold on. Sorry for making you jealous, sorry. But I have nothing to do with him. Believe me Pieter, now please hold on Honey.” said Thalia while hugging Pieter.
Hearing Thalia's words made Pieter smile. The veins appear to be poking on the face and the entire surface of Pieter's skin sign that he is in great pain. While the ghost of Malini does not want to relax the pull. He continued to pull the red rope to make Pieter's tribe tortured for having to choose, follow Malini or survive with Thalia.
