The Three Chosen
68. Stop Desiree...
Faiq, Heru, Fatur and Darta rushed to Hasman's office to deliver Hendrik's message. They decided to go to Hasman in his office that day because they did not want to let the spirits of Desiree and Siti too long wandering aimlessly.
Hasman was not too surprised to see the presence of Faiq, Heru, Fatur and Darta in his study. Even Hasman welcomed their presence in a friendly manner.
“ Glad to see you come by here.” Hasman said with a smile.
“ Thank you. But something forced us to come here.” said Darta.
“ What is it..?” ask Hasman curiously.
Darta did not answer. He turned his head towards Faiq hoping that Faiq would explain the purpose of their arrival this time. Faiq immediately explained about Desiree's ghost terror to Hendrik.
“ That's reasonable. What Hendrik did was unforgivable and had hurt Desiree's self-esteem.” Hasman said with a glaring look.
“ But Hendrik is sorry and has received his sentence in prison.” said Darta.
“ That's a risk he has to bear. Don't you dare to do must dare to take responsibility.?” ask cynical Hasman.
Hasman still tried to refuse to help Hendrik even though Faiq had shown a recording of Hendrik's request for help. Faiq smiled as he saw the disappointment in the look of Hasman's eyes. Faiq knew that Hasman and Desiree's love was so great.
“ What if you do this for Desiree and Bu Siti.?” asked Faiq while looking fixedly at Hasman.
Hasman was shocked. He looked back at Faiq as if he wanted to explore the meaning contained in his speech.
“ What do you mean..?” ask Hasman not understand.
“ Desiree and Bu Siti spirits are still wandering aka curious because what they want at the end of their lives has not materialized. Will you help Us realize their wishes so that they can return to the day of Allah in peace.?” ask Faiq.
“ You mean this is all Desiree and Bu Siti's last wish.?” ask Hasman not to believe.
“ Right. Desiree loves you very much and wants to present her precious crown to you. Desiree wants you to take her away and marry her.
“ What does he expect so..?” ask Hasman sadly.
“ Yes. While Bu Siti wants the public to know he is not guilty let alone involved with the kidnapping and death of Desiree. Do this for Ms. Siti because she loves you so much and considers you her child. Imagine how happy he is to have a defense from you.” Faiq said.
Hasman seemed to blink his eyes suddenly wet from being moved. He was touched to hear the wishes of the two women who loved him in such a different way.
“ Good. God willing I will come to help him. Can we find another time besides today..?” ask Hasman.
“ Can...,” said Darta and Heru enthusiastically to make Faiq and Fatur smile.
“ Thank you...,” said Faiq while shaking Hasman's hand tightly.

In a room there are two men standing opposite. Two men who are none other than Hendrik and Hasman who both have loved the same woman, Desiree. The difference is if Hendrik gets Desiree's body, while Hasman actually gets Desiree's heart and love.
Hendrik smiled and stretched his hand towards Hasman who seemed a little hesitant.
“ How is Hasman. Thank you for coming..,” said Hendrik.
“ Hmmm...,” says Hasman reluctantly.
“ We will start its ruqyah process. Mr. Hendrik and Mr. Hasman are ready, right.?” ask Faiq.
“ Ready...,” sahut Hendrik and Hasman together.
Hendricks. While he accompanied Hendrik and Fatur will sit with Hasman.
Dhikr, prayers and chants of the holy verse of the Qur’an also echoed in the room. Soon after Hendrik began to show unusual movements accompanied by growling sounds. Darta and Hasman who just this time witnessed a different reaction from Hendrik also looked panicked. They were worried that Hendrik would go on a rampage and attack them later.
“ They come Nak...,” says Fatur.
“ Yes Om...,” sahut Faiq.
Suddenly inside the room smelled a fragrant aroma that slowly turned rotten. Following the thick aroma of mud came into the smell of everyone in the room. Apparently the ghosts of Desiree and Siti's ghost are present simultaneously in the room.
Hendrik widened his eyes when he saw Desiree's ghost smiling at him. Even Hendrik shifted away from where he was when Desiree's ghost floated towards him. Hasman seemed to shudder in horror when he witnessed the appearance of Desiree's ghost floating with a decomposed and naked body. A thin sheet of cloth covering Desiree's aura seemed to be waving in the wind.
Siti's ghost appears to be pecking at the corner of the room while staring haru at Hasman. While Desiree's ghost has not realized the presence of Hasman, her former lover in the room. Desiree's ghost seems focused on pursuing Hendrik. This time Desiree's anger has reached its peak because he considers if Hendrik can never repent.
“ I'm Sorry Desiree, please forgive me. Don't torture Me anymore Desiree, I beg you.” said Hendrik, closing his eyes as Desiree's ghostly hand reached into his neck.
Seeing how the ghost of Desiree chasing Hendrik made Hasman excited. Moreover, he also saw Hendrik's body trembling in fear with a disjointed voice.
“ Stop Desiree...!” hasman said loudly while standing up from his sitting position.
Desiree's ghost gasped in shock when she heard the old voice she longed for. He even stopped the movement
his hands were pointed at Hendrik's neck and then turned to the origin of the voice. His eyes looked in disbelief at Hasman. There was a gurgle of sadness on his face as he could look back and hear Hasman calling his name.
“ Hasman...,” said ghost Desiree shrivelled.
“ Yes, this is I Desiree...,” said Hasman as he stepped closer to the ghost of Desiree while extending his hand.
Desiree's ghost was smiling, and she also extended her hand to greet Hasman's hand. But a moment later he flinched and floated backwards as if away from Hasman.
“ Don't touch Me Hasman. I'm dirty, I'm dirty..” said ghost Desiree with tears in her eyes.
Hasman seemed sad to see the woman he once loved look terrible. His body looks bruised and begins to rot, accompanied by mucus that gives off an unpleasant odor. Desiree's ghost also seems to try to cover his body that is open because it does not want Hasman to see ‘jak’ left Hendrik in his body.
“ All a long time ago Desiree. Forget everything and forgive him.” Hasman said in a raucous voice because he could not imagine Desiree's suffering when harassed first.
“ Why you told me I'm sorry she Hasman. He's a bad guy, he ruined my pride, he took away something I prepared for you.!” suhut ghost Desiree angry.
“ I understand Darling. But look at him now. He also received punishment for his crimes. And I, I,
I don't want you to keep wandering around without directions like this. Because my Desire is not a person who likes to make a mess. My desire is a gentle and loving hearted woman. He respects others, even though they are different. That's why I'm in love with you Desiree.” Hasman said as he approached the ghost of Desiree who was standing while staring at her.
“ I'm sorry I can't be the person you want Hasman to be..,” says ghost Desiree.
“ I understand why you're like this Desiree. I beg you not to wallow in this endless grudge Desiree. Stop and take the opportunity to change your destiny now. Return to God in a good way.” pinta Hasman earnestly.
“ Good is Hasman. I'm gonna stop now. Let's just say this is my last offering and proof of my love for you.” said Desiree's ghost with a smile.
“ Thank you Dear Desiree...,” says Hasman with teary eyes.
Desiree's ghost nodded with a sweet smile then slowly disappeared leaving a soft and soothing fragrance.
