76. Mr. Ahmad is Smart
"so I and Rose saw my husband in the back circling a mango tree, sir! His mouth comatose Kamit while spreading something, which we do not know what it is. Then suddenly, my husband came from behind us. So, after that, I immediately brought my husband here. Because, I believe the person who is circling the mango tree is not my husband," said Bu Saras.
Ruman who listened to his wife's words understood. He then sighed and nodded his head slowly.
"Yes yes. Mother's choice was right. The one who resembled Mr. Ruman's face, she was actually the grandmother. He has started the process of exchanging the soul of the Rose" said Mr. Ahmad.
"What, did Rose have a twin brother, sir, Mom,?" ask Ahmad again.
"Have, Sir! But he died when he was born. At that time, there was a grandmother named Jamilah, helping the process of giving birth to my wife. At that time, I was trapped by him. So inevitably I have to take him home. Nek Jamilah is after the ari-ari of my two children, sir! Nek Jamilah managed to eat half of the ari-ari. The other half, was saved by my father. But, I do not know where the burial place of the ari-ari and my son who died. Because, after my father dueled with Nek Jamilah, and managed to bury my son, he did not tell me anything, he was dead," said Mr. Ruman.
"That's why, the father who died became the grandson of Nek Jamilah. What was the name of the father who died?" ask Mr. Ahmad.
"Mada, Sir!" answer Ruman again.
"Mada. Actually at that time he was still alive, but already controlled by Nek Jamilah. Nek Jamilah has taken control of him. So that when the ari-ari was eaten, Mada also died," said Pak Ahmad.
"But it's been a long time, sir! Why did she suddenly come back to that grandmother!" ask Saras.
"I asked first. Where is Mr. Ruman's father, imprisoning Mr. Jamilah?"
"According to residents, in the swamp that is now an area, sir!" answer Ruman.
"What is that swamp, the path you used to find the Rose, first?" ask Mr. Ahmad.
"Yes, that's right, sir!" answer Saras.
Marsel and Roses are still watching. Not yet cast a vote.
"Well, there it is. Actually, the whole Rose, that time was already planned by Nek Jamilah. When you pass through that swamp, you must have seen an oddity in your eyes. Don't you?"
"Yes right, Mr. Ahmad. I did look at Mada that time with a very angry and creepy look. But, I can only be silent because Mr. Ridwan warned me not to talk" Saras replied.
"True, I also saw Nek Jamilah with Mada at that time, they said it would come soon," continued Ruman.
"And, you, Marsel!" ask Mr. Ahmad.
Marsel who was silent was suddenly surprised at his father's question.
"Me, I was just told to keep my eyes closed, sir! On my return, I felt a thick, chewy, slimy object and a fishy smell. He's fickling. I also heard the sound of the Rose, that's all!" answer Marsel.
Ahmad smiled, he understood now. Mr. Ahmad stroked his beard with a smile. Mr. Ruman and Saras looked at each other not understanding with the attitude of Mr. Ahmad. They also do not think that their prospective besaan turned out to be smart and know many things.
The explanation of Mr. Ahmad, makes everyone who hears it do not believe.
"But sir, why did Mada fall in love with Marsel?" ask Roses.
"For he is indeed controlled by Nek Jamilah. If you get married, he will get married. Actually, from the baby Mada has been controlled by Nek Jamilah. Because of the ariannya," explained Mr. Ahmad.
"Then, how can we be free of Nek Jamilah, sir!" ask Ruman.
"I apologize in advance, Mr. Ruman. This wedding should be held simply. The important thing is legitimate,"
"Well, why is it like that, sir!"
"This is to avoid Mada's jealousy towards the Roses. Every father wants to enliven the marriage of Roses in a big way, Mada will be angry. That was why, at that moment, there was a sound of stuff on falling in Mr. Ruman's kitchen. It was actually Mada, who did it" said Mr Ahmad.
"What's right, sir? But, why could Mada do that? He is dead" said Ruman.
Ahmad sighed. "As I said before, sir. I won't explain the words I've said. I will explain about other things, so that the soul of the Rose is not exchanged by Nek Jamilah," said Mr. Ahmad.
"Tp ...."
Ms. Saras squeezed Ruman's hand, as a code to be silent and obedient.
"Said Marsel, Grandma Jamilah will be sinden at her wedding. Of course if Mr. Ruman responds to interference. But, if the show is made simple without any show, Nek Jamilah will not be able to exchange the soul of the Rose. Because of his spell of he insinuated it. I know, now Nek Jamilah is still doing the ritual of awakening Mada so that his soul continues to float. But, with the Rose, here, Nek Jamilah will be a little troubled. If you don't come tonight, maybe until the wedding is over, you won't be able to come out again. And more, the rose. Roses will be imprisoned forever in the afterlife. He'll be a slave there. While Mada, he lived as a Rose, but like a dead man. I suggest you stay here. I suspect, Mada's body, and the Rose, buried under the Mango tree. Because the ari-ari belongs to the Rose, in addition to Mada, the Rose can also take it," said Mr. Ahmad.
All those who heard it felt goosebumps. And more, the rose.
Mr. Ruman thought hard. He is the man he is, and also the boss. If the event is only done simply, what people say will be. Moreover, the invitation has been spread.
"Is there no other way, sir? The wedding was simple. I'm embarrassed later" Ruman explained.
"Father just choose. Mau Mawar died and became a slave, replaced with Mada who was clearly dead. Or attach importance to the father's ego. But one big loss you'll take. If Jamilah's plan is successful, she'll live a good, young life, and will be eyeing twins again,"
"That's it, sir! Let's just massage. We can enliven the Rose wedding, if the matter is over. The most important thing now is to avoid that Jamilah grandmother" Saras said.
"Well, that's exactly what Ms. Saras said. Like it's better, if you are embarrassed," said Mr. Ahmad.
Mr. Ruman is silent. What Saras said was true. Rather than him losing his son forever, he would rather cancel his festive event.
