The Three Chosen
61. Not Me
Desiree's disappearance causes Hasman's and Scoot's business relationship to deteriorate. Even Mr. Scoot also withdrew his capital from their cooperation out of anger. Although not too influential on Hasman's business, but rumors if Hasman kidnaps Desiree make Hasman business relations one by one leave Hasman.
The shocking news also reached Siti's ears. He was concerned about the fate of Hasman who was considered as his son. Siti also came to Hasman's house to just give support. But Hasman refused the presence of Siti even asked her domestic assistant to expel Siti.
After a week Desiree disappeared, residents were suddenly surprised by the discovery of the corpse of a naked woman in an empty garden located behind a nursing home. Residents flocked to see who was in the empty garden.
The police moved quickly. After checking around the location of the discovery of the corpse, the corpse of the woman without clothes was taken to the Hospital. Families who feel the loss of a child or family member are also contacted. How surprised Scoot and his wife to find out if the corpse is the corpse of Desiree who disappeared since a week ago.
After that can be guessed. Hasman is the prime suspect in Desiree's murder. Despite repeated denials, the police did not believe it. Hasman was arrested and sent to prison. Hearing Hasman being arrested by the police makes Siti panic. He went to the police station and defended Hasman.
Siti's attitude makes the police, Mr. Scoot and his wife suspicious. Moreover, circulating the story if Siti and Hasman are mother and child even though Hasman continues to deny. Mr. Scoot suspects that it was Siti who kidnapped Desiree out of heartache for her rejection of Hasman. Even Mr. Scoot accused Siti of giving others the opportunity to hurt and harass Desiree before she died.
Siti was forcibly picked up when she just arrived at the nursing home where she had been living all this time. Not by the police but by Mr. Scoot's men. Then Siti was held captive somewhere for days without eating and drinking. Siti was also tortured for days and forced to confess to a deed she never did.
“ Not I did it, not I..” Siti said repeatedly shortly before her body fell to the ground.
“ How is this Mr. Siti did not want to say when her body was battered and almost dead.?” ask Mr. Scoot's man.
“ Continue to torture him until I see who is involved in the murder of my Son..!” said Mr. Scoot as he stepped out of the place where Siti was held captive.
News of Siti's detention reached Hasman's ear, who was detained at the police station. Hasman's heart was knocked by Siti's sacrifice that he had always ignored all this time. Hasman also asked his employees to release Siti.
“ Please find a way to free Bu Siti from Mr. Scoot's cages..,” pinta Hasman.
“ But Mr. Scoot's men ask for a lot of money Sir..,” said Hasman employees.
“ Give whatever money they ask for. The important thing is that they release Ms. Siti. He's innocent, but why is he involved in this matter.” Hasman said sadly.
“ Probably because he feels this Father is his Son. So Bu Siti is willing to do anything to help Mr. Hasman.” said Hasman employees.
“ You're right, but he shouldn't have done this. I feel guilty and not happy with Ms. Siti. Now quickly go and free Bu Siti..,” Hasman said again.
“ Well Sir...,” says Hasman employee.
Hasman's employees went to pick Siti up while carrying some bribes for Mr. Scoot's men. But they're late. By the time they got there Siti had been sentenced to hang on a tree not far from the tree house where she and her small family lived first.
Before exhaling her last breath Siti still said if it wasn't her who killed Desiree.
“ I am not the culprit, not I..,” is the last sentence that came out of Siti's mouth before her life was off her body.
At that time, Mr. Scoot's men were silent. Eventually they believe it was not Siti who killed Desiree or was involved with Desiree's death.
“ Yes, same. We got it wrong. Ms. Siti must not have been involved in Miss Desiree's death at all. The proof is that he is still talking until the end of his life..,” said another man.
“ Wow danger. It could be that his spirit Bu Siti was wandering because she died in a unnatural way.” said a panicked man.
“ Duh, how dong..?” said the other man while rubbing his face roughly.
“ We've left...” said a man while running away followed by his three friends.
The four men of Mr. Scoot also left Siti's body just like that. Then Hasman's employees came and took care of Siti's hanging body. He took Siti's body down from the tree and buried it under the tree where Siti's body was hanging earlier.
Since then the surrounding environment is often plagued by ghost sightings of Siti who always say the same sentence repeatedly. Although the place underwent many changes due to development, but the ghost of Siti will appear. Again and again as it is today.
“ Not I did it, not I..” said a voice without being.
The voice was clearly heard as Hanako, Iyaz and Izar ended the story. Shera who also heard the voice clearly docked towards her husband while looking to the right and left as if looking for the source of the sound.
“ Is he here now Well..?” shera whispered to her husband.
“ Yes Bun. He was behind Cici...,” said Faiq while staring at the ghost of Siti who was sitting behind Hanako.
“ So how do Father and Children help him..?” ask Shera riled.
“ We have to go to Bun police station. We must find out if there has ever been a case involving the name Hasman there.” said Faiq.
“ Must be hard Well. Moreover, the incident has been a long time ago.” said Shera.
“ Gapapa Bun Hotel. God willing We will help Bu Siti get justice.” Faiq said steady.
Suddenly across the artificial lake came the screams of a woman. Apparently the woman saw a ghostly apparition of Siti passing right in front of her. Some people tried to calm the woman who kept screaming hysterically.
The appearance of Siti's ghost at that time made anyone who saw her would be shocked. His face was pale, eyes swerving upwards and tongue sticking out, plus veins poking out all over the surface of his skin as if indicating if Siti was experiencing pain before her death. Her long hair unraveled in her shabby dress looked extremely apprehensive.
“ Go, don't bother him. Insha Allah We will help you.” muttered Faiq while looking at the ghost of Siti who stood across the artificial lake.
Siti's ghost nodded her head and then disappeared. Along with the disappearance of Siti's ghost, the woman's body drooped weakly and fell unconscious.
