The Three Chosen
314. Jumirah Go
Faiq and Izar ended their vision and stared at each other for a moment. Both of them understood that what Mikaila had seen all this time was the ghost of Scholer and his wife and two stepchildren. Apparently after many years the ghost of Scholer managed to meet the ghost of Burna. Since then, Scholer's ghost and his wife and two children have followed Burna's ghost everywhere he goes.
While the ghost of Jumirah has been perfected by his family several years ago until no longer seen beside Burna.
Initially the Jumirah family came to Scholer's house to find out about Jumirah's whereabouts. But they were surprised when they saw Scholer's house was only blackened debris. Residents who saw two men standing in front of the rubble of Scholer's house came to approach.
“ Sorry, Who are you. What are you doing here..?” ask citizens.
“ We are his brother Jumirah who works here Sir. I'm his Uncle and this is Jumirah's sister. We're here looking for Jumirah because it's been months since it's been coming home. Even though he left for a while because he wanted to meet his master's son who had been taken care of it sir..,” said uncle Jumirah.
“ Yes Sir. But until here kok We saw the house of his master Jumirah already lived rich rubble gini. What really happened Sir, where is my Brother.?.” asked Jumirah's sister almost crying.
“ Home Mr. Scholer fire Mas. There's not a single one left. When the people came the fire had already blazed and devoured everything. We did not save anything or anyone in the event of the fire.” said residents.
“ Did My Brother become a victim and join in burning with this house Sir.?” ask Jumirah's sister.
“ Maybe, we don't know for sure. You see, we were empty because Mr. Scholer and his family were left. At that time they were traveling to a place and residents did not see his arrival.” said one of the residents.
“ So yes...,” said uncle Jumirah with a worried face.
“ But some people once wriggled the ghost of the bule who was guessed as Mr. Scholer's ghost around this house Mr...” said residents to surprise Jumirah's uncle and sister.
“ Ghost Bule...?” ask uncle and sister Jumirah at the same time.
“ Yes Sir. But I personally haven't been squirming. Hopefully never...,” said citizens while shuddering.
“ That's why we'll excuse you to go home first sir. Thanks for the info...,” said Uncle Jumirah.
“ Yes Both Sir. Be careful on the road yes..,” said the citizens while releasing the departure of uncle and sister Jumirah with a look of pity.
Jumirah's uncle and sister returned to the village and told him everything clearly. Jumirah's mother who began to cry and screamed found her daughter trapped in the fire and died.
“ Don't be rich gini Mbok, who knows Mbak Jum survived and is somewhere..,” said Jumirah's sister calmed the mother.
“ Right Mbok. Who knows also Jumirah even married a city person.” entertain Jumirah's sister.
“ Ga maybe. My feeling is that Jum is dead. He must also be a victim of the fire..,” said Jumirah's mother was sad.
Everyone was silent to hear the words of Jumirah's mother because they were sorry if what the old woman said was always proven and accurate. Maybe because of his old age plus strong instincts to make his words always heard by his extended family.
“ So Mbok wants how...?” ask brother Jumirah.
“ Make tahlilan and send prayers to Jumirah. Kasian if his spirit is still curious, Jumirah must also suffer. We can help Jumirah find the way home to God with prayer. May she be calm there..,” said Jumirah's mother while wiping her tears that flow suddenly.
“ Aamiin.., good Mbok..,” sahut brother Jumirah.
At that time the spirit of Jumirah was sitting accompanying the spirit of Burna. They were staring at the house of Burna's mother who had not known Burna's death. It looks like Burna's mother is holding a baby while feeding it. The mother looked happy and it made Burna feel hurt.
“ Mother absolutely does not remember Me Bi. The proof is that he can still laugh to see his son.” said Burna's spirit sadly.
“ Your mother will not know if You have died..,” sahut Jumirah spirit reminded.
“ Did he not find me. He also never tried to find me at Papa's house.” said Burna's spirit.
“ Actually your mother misses you too. But her new husband forbids your mother from going to see you.
“ I don't believe..” said Burna's spirit.
“ You have to believe because Auntie spoke to your mother before visiting Mr. Scholer's house first. Now listen carefully...,” sahut Jumirah spirit.
The spirits of Burna and Jumirah also sharpen their hearing to hear the words spoken by Burna's mother.
“ How is your Brother doing now, son. Hope he's all right there. I miss her and want to see her but your father forbade me from going there. Hurry up, kid. Later I take you to meet Sister Jesline yes..,” said Tika half muttered while kissing her baby.
The baby seemed to be soaring happily in Tika's arms as if he understood what the mother said. Seeing that made Burna smile happily. Especially when the mother and baby in her arms turned towards him and Jumirah as if they could see their existence made Burna's spirit soar with excitement.
But the joy of awah Burna faded as he turned to his side and saw the condition of Jumirah's spirit that did not look okay.
“ Aunt why, what happened..?” ask Burna's spirit to panic.
“ Aunty does not know, but this feels cool and soothing.” Jumirah spirit said.
“ Cool calming how the hell Bi. How did Aunt get rich in gini..?” ask Burna's spirit to panic.
At that time the spirit of Jumirah looks radiant and slowly drifts away from the spirit of Burna. Then he darted quickly to the top and came back to meet the spirit of Burna.
“ I have to go Dear, there is a prayer flowing for me sent by my family. It keeps my path open. And I was called there. I'm sorry for not being able to accompany you again, son.” said Jumirah's spirit while tightly grasping Burna's fingers.
“ Don't Bi, I don't have anyone other than Bi Jum. Please don't stay in I'm alone here.” said Burna's spirit in tears.
“ Can't be Son, this pull is very strong and I can't fight destiny. May you soon find someone who can help you return to your Lord.” said Jumirah spirit lirih then slowly floated above Burna's body.
Burna's spirit seems to cry when the spirit of Jumirah is attracted upwards. He thought the spirit of Jumirah would return like that, but in fact the spirit of Jumirah never returned until this moment. Burna's spirit waited and continued to search for the existence of the spirit of Jumirah without fatigue until he met a little girl named Mikaila who later became his close friend.
When he first saw Mikaila, Burna's spirit was very interested. Especially when knowing if the fate of Mikaila is the same as his existence which is also not recognized by his biological father makes the spirit of Burna survive to accompany him for four more years. And now it seems that Burna's spirit has to find another friend because Mikaila doesn't need it anymore.
