The Three Chosen
47. Sejoli's Spirit

Faiq helps Iyaz and Izar fulfill his promise to Rian's ghost. Before going to the pesantren and mondok there, Iyaz and Izar still have a fairly long holiday. And they took advantage of that time off to help Rian.

Stacking houses in the Pondok Kopi area of East Jakarta have been visited. But because incomplete information makes it difficult for them to find the person in question. Lucky Dayang is always ready to help and provide information that Faiq and his two children need.

When the car stopped in front of the compound, Iyaz and Izar gaping made.

“ How there is a rich house gini yes. Are they not afraid of falling from above.?” asked Iyaz while staring at the towering building in front of him.

“ Why be afraid. Kan exclaim has a neighbor who lives not only next to Kita's house but also above and below Kita's house.

“ This is just as rich as an office building or mall, there is nothing to fear as long as everyone follows the rules. For example, installing a window trellis for those who have small children.” said Faiq added.

Faiq got out of the car followed by the twins. Then they went to the Rt Chairman's house there to find information about Aura.

“ Aura whose fiancee is named Rian huh Sir..?” ask the Rt chairman to hesitate.

“ Right Sir..,” sahut Faiq.

“ Wow too bad. Their family moved two years ago Mr...” said the Rt chairman.

“ Move to where Sir. Keep on knowing why. I see here quite comfortable, why should move everything..?” ask Faiq curiously.

“ Oh that's because his parents Aura ga agreed to the engagement of Aura and Rian..,” said the chairman of Rt.

“ Ga agree but I can be engaged anyway, strange..,” said Faiq.

“ That's it. Because of the provocateurs who instigated, so the engagement of Aura and Rian was destroyed. Because he could not bear the shame, the Aura family moved from here.” said Rt chairman while giving a piece of paper containing the address of the new Aura house.

“ Thank you Sir, We excuse you first.” said Faiq while shaking the hand of the friendly Rt chairman.

After getting Aura's home address, Faiq drove his car to the address in question. It turned out that the address of Aura's house was not too far from the flats they had been to.

Aura's parents' house looked lonely as if there was no life. Faiq went downstairs and asked his two children to wait in the car because they did not want them to see or hear anything they should not.

“ Assalamualaikum..,” greet Faiq while knocking on the door.

There was no reply until a moment later a man opened the door and Faiq was sure that it was Aura's father.

“ Who are you and find who..?” asked Aura's father in a hoarse voice as if he had just finished crying.

“ I'm sorry before, can we talk for a moment. It's about Rian...,” said Faiq carefully.

Aura's father seemed to be researching Faiq from head to toe then nodded with a faint smile.

“ Well, please come in...,” said Aura's father then opened the door wide for Faiq.

Faiq sat on a chair as he stared at the wall of the house filled with photos of a girl he believed to be Aura.

“ I know You don't know My Son Aura. But gapapa, I know if you mean well. Because only good people dare to come and enter this house..” said Aura's father.

“ Forgive Me. But my guess is right. I'm here to bring Rian's message to Aura. Until now, Rian is still waiting for Aura at the usual place they meet.

“ Rian, Rian. It turns out I misjudged him. This is all because of the mouth of the devil-hearted. My Wife and I were consumed by cheap gossip that said if Rian had a Son and Wife. Out of anger I severed My Son's engagement unilaterally. I do not know if the consequences will be this fatal..,” said Aura's father while.

crying out.

Faiq touched the back of Aura's father's hand, rubbing it gently to calm him down. It was then that Faiq could see what had happened within the Aura family.

Rian and Aura's engagement has been implemented. The two weeks leading up to the storm's wedding have shattered all of Aura and Rian's family's dreams, with 90% of the wedding preparations completed%. One of Aura's cousins came and said that Rian was not a good man because he had dared to deceive their family. He said that Rian had a family and had a daughter. Hearing the news made Aura's parents embarrassed, especially the news was delivered in front of relatives and neighbors who were gathering in the house.

Suddenly the news shattered the Aura family's pride. They were ashamed because Aura was considered to be the destroyer of other people's households. Without doing any checks and re checks, Aura's father immediately canceled the wedding plans

Aura and Rian.

Aura screamed for a chance at her father. But the father who had believed in the niece's boasting was even more angry and locked Aura in the room. Aura was out of her mind to calm her father's emotions. Rian who came to visit also got a raw bogem from Aura's father. Rian who did not know anything was just resigned when he was led to the police station and willingly imprisoned without ever knowing what his mistake.

Rian's extended family, who knew Rian was imprisoned on the reports that his future father-in-law was angry and asked back all the money and offerings that had been given to Aura. The heated conflict also made the Aura family embarrassed and decided to move out of their old house.

After Rian prison, he was still in a relationship with Aura even though it was done secretly. The two even intend to elope to live together. But their intentions never materialized. Because the day they intend to meet is to be the last day Rian lives in this world. Rian had an accident and died of blood loss. At that time Rian prepared a birthday gift for Aura in the form of a teddy bear that he still hugged tightly even though his spirit had left his body.

Rian never realized he was dead. His spirit still came to the restaurant and waited for Aura there, complete with a teddy bear that he always embraced.

While Aura came late because she had to play cat-kissing with her parents in order to get out and meet Rian. Aura managed to enter the restaurant and waited for Rian there for several hours. Till

With a broken heart Aura left that restaurant. On the way he was confronted by thugs. In addition to her property being confiscated, Aura also experienced se**al harassment. After that Aura was left behind.  Aura felt herself dirty and would not be able to face her husband later. Aura committed suicide by jumping off a bridge and died on the spot. Aura's body was returned to the house in a state that was not intact anymore.

Faiq pulled his hand with a chaotic feeling. He shook his head because he felt that what happened to the lovers was tragic. Two people who love each other are separated by death in different ways.

“ I am so sorry for Aura's departure. But I have to convey this so that your family understands that Rian is still single and not married.” said Faiq.

“ I know. Cousin Aura admitted that what he said first was a lie. He did that out of envy for Aura. In addition, he secretly loves Rian, but Rian refuses and still chooses Aura. I regret not being able to bring happiness to Aura at the end of her life. If at that time I let her marry Rian, surely she is still alive and happy.” said Aura's father as he sobbed.

“ But Rian never knew if Aura died Sir. So he still waiting for Aura there..,” said Faiq and surprised Aura's father.

“ Let me meet him. All right, I also want to apologize to Rian because of my words and attitude first..,” pinta Aura's father.

“ Good, can We go now Sir..?” asked Faiq who was taken by Aura's father.

\=====

Now Faiq is accompanying Aura's father who will meet Rian's spirit. Previously Faiq had asked Rian to come to the small garden in front of the restaurant. Faiq did that so as not to attract the attention of visitors and waiters of the restaurant.

“ Where is Rian Mas..?” asked Aura's father while looking to the right and to the left.

“ Rian is in front of Mr...” said Faiq.

“ What does this mean..?” ask Aura's father riled up.

“ I'm sorry, but you also have to know, Rian passed away a few hours before Aura died. Rian died while on his way to the restaurant while carrying a bear doll for Aura

as his birthday present. Rian's spirit is still curious and always waiting for Aura in this restaurant sir..,” said Faiq with a vibrating voice.

“ What...?!” aura's father was surprised and almost fell because he did not expect that all he would meet was the curious spirit of Rian. Faiq swiftly supported Aura's father's body so as not to fall.

“ That's so Sir. How, do you still want to express your apology to the late Mr. Rian..?” ask Faiq.

Aura's father was stunned for a moment then nodded his head. Faiq smiled then helped Aura's father talk to Rian's spirit. While the spirit of Rian looks more ready.

“ Ri, Rian. It's Mr...” said Aura's father with a trembling voice.

“ Just aja Pak, Rian ga time a lot..,” whispered Faiq.

“ Ri, Rian. I'm sorry for your same mistake. Sorry for hitting you, sorry for not believing in you and sorry for making you suffer all this time. Excuse me. I came to represent Aura because of her...” Aura's father's words were interrupted because he could not hold back the crying.

“ Aura why Sir..?” asked Rian's ghost that only Faiq could hear.

“ Aura has died on the same day as the day of your death Rian..,” said Faiq while showing the last photo of Aura on the phone belonging to Aura's father who borrowed earlier.

Rian's body slumped to the ground. He let go of the doll as if he had no strength to embrace it anymore. Faiq stared pityfully at Rian's ghost.

“ So why do I survive if Aura already does not exist..,” said Rian lirih make the atmosphere around them feel gripping.

Suddenly a soft voice called out his name and made Rian turn his head then smile. There Rian saw Aura standing while waving her hand at him.

“ I came to keep our promise Rian...,” Aura said with a smile.

“ I know Honey. Let's go and pick up our dreams together.” said Rian as he approached Aura and grabbed his fingers.

Before leaving Rian and Aura turned towards Faiq with a smile.

“ Thank you. Give Our regards to Father and the two little heroes. Now We have to go...,” said Rian.

“ Go, may Allah forgive your sins and accept all your worship...,” said Faiq and then read al-Fatiha surah and prayer to take the spirits of a pair of lovebirds to go to Allah Swt's birthday.

A cool air blew on Aura's father's face as if the last greeting from Aura was for him. Faiq patted Aura's father's shoulder and helped him stand up.

“ Aura and Rian send greetings to Mr...” whispered Faiq.

“ Thank you Mas Faiq. I'm happy to have resolved this misunderstanding. May Allah forgive their sins and the sins of all of us.” said Aura's father while rubbing his wet eyes.

“ Aamiin...,” says Faiq with a smile.

Then Faiq led Aura's father to the car where Iyaz and Izar sat waiting. A moment later they left the restaurant feeling happy.
