Rania's Invisible Search
PART 111 ENDANG STORY.
We didn't feel like we were chatting on the porch until nine p.m. Because it's been so late, I say goodbye to everyone. I've contacted Mr. Jarwo to come to their house. And maybe tomorrow morning he'll be there.
"I'm sorry I can only help that. Because the ability I have is only limited to seeing supernatural figures. And currently there is no figure around this house. Maybe it's taking your baby and Mom somewhere else. Tomorrow my relatives from the village will come to help. Excuse me first."
Mr. Darman decided to take me home. Along the way a lot of what he told me, about Narti. The woman who was once his wife.
"Well, did Mr. Darman part with Ms. Narti?" I asked behind his motorbike
"Yes, it may have been God's destiny we had to part ways." Replied Mr. Darman exhaled a long breath.
I was silent for a moment, thinking about the meaning of his words. I ventured to ask, what made her part with Narti.
"After we were married, Narti was often sickly. I have taken him to the doctor, but after doing the examination, the results are no symptoms of any disease. We were equally confused as to what disease Narti suffered. I once invited Narti to traditional medicine, and who treated him claimed to be incurable. Because the illness suffered by Narti is a delivery from someone who hurt us. And the man died with his heartache, so that Narti would not be healed, unless he also died, just like that man. At that time I did not think that Endang did it. Because I thought, Endang is still alive somewhere. Me and Narti only lived in the household for a few months, but there was no one year. Because not long after that, Narti died with our baby candidate, who was only four weeks old" said Mr. Darman with a trembling voice.
Oh, my God, I didn't think that Endang was really avenging his heartache. But he didn't tell me that, which he showed only a few pictures of when he was close to Mr. Darman. Then when he met Narti, was it possible that Endang had really deceived me? I just shook my head, heard all the heartbreaking stories of Mr. Darman.
"So now Mr Darman is married again?"
"Thank God, I am married and have two sons. But my wife and kids don't live here, they're in my wife's village. In Jakarta I only work, so I often stay at my sister's house."
I speculated, if Endang might not know, if the witchcraft he did to Narti had worked. That's why Endang remains haunted because of his curiosity. Then he kidnapped the baby brother of Mr. Darman, because he thought that the baby was the son of Mr. Darman with his wife Narti. I snap my finger, because I can finally solve the puzzle.
"It looks like it was Endang deh Pak, who kidnapped Mr. Darman's nephew. Because actually, before I met my father. I have interacted with the ghost of Endang. But I just heard the story about Mr and Ms. Narti. All this time Endang kept following me everywhere. He wants to ask for help to be reunited with Mr. Darman. And the day you drove me to the office, Endang already saw Mr. Darman first. And he often followed my father everywhere. At that time I was afraid, if Endang was angry and harmed Mr. Darman or Ms. Narti. But it turns out that Endang did not do that. Maybe, Endang thinks, if the nephew of Mr. Darman is the son of the Father with the late Bu Narti. Because Endang does not know, if in fact Miss Narti has died. So he got carried away with his heartache, and kidnapped Mr. Darman's nephew. Because seeing Mr. Darman had held the nephew of the father who was still a baby."
Mr. Darman stepped on the brakes of his motorbike suddenly. He may be very surprised and stop the speed of the motor.
"What should I do? My niece has nothing wrong, it's all my fault. If at that time I chose to stay with Endang, maybe Narti is still alive, and my nephew will not be taken by Endang's ghost." Said Mr. Darman bowed with teary eyes.
"Patience first sir, maybe Mr. Darman is also wrong for breaking Endang's heart. Although I'm not sure if Endang is pregnant with your son. But I think Endang was also wrong, he should not have done that bad deed. By sending witchcraft to Ms. Narti, Endang's soul will never be able to calm down in the realm of eternity. It will only continue to be caught between two worlds. I can only pray, may the spirit of Bu Narti rest in peace in nature."
Mr. Darman is back on his bike, this time he is more silent. Maybe he felt guilty for making his niece disappear. Even until we arrived in front of the ancient house, Mr. Darman still kept silent with a sad face.
"God willing I will communicate with Endang after this. If possible I will persuade him to return your nephew, but if it does not work as well. Tomorrow my relatives from the village will come to help."
"Thank you so much for helping me, I don't know what else to do. Now that I'm more guilty of the late Narti, I shouldn't have married him. So Narti can still live up to now."
"Destiny of God no one knows sir, we both pray, so that the spirit of Bu Narti can rest in peace. After this, Mr. Darman just went back to my brother's house. Wait for news from me, and don't forget to pray much sir. His mind should not be empty, fearing that something will interfere on the way home later!"
Before long Mr. Darman went riding his motorcycle. I want to step inside, I open the wall from outside. It seemed like there was no one inside, and suddenly there was a foul scent that pierced the nose. I looked in all directions, looking for the source of the stench. Actually I have another hunch with this kind of scent. I tried to concentrate and focus, it seemed like someone had come and met me. I closed both eyes while breathing out a long breath. There was a soft voice, which whispered so that I could look back. With my heart racing, I turned my body upside down and was shocked when I came face to face with the figure.
"Who are you?" I screamed in stammer.
The ghost's head was still lowered, its face covered in long hair that dangled to the ground. I felt a huge amount of negative energy. The foul aroma was very stinging and disturbing my breathing turned out to come from this figure. This female ghost had not answered my question, and was still standing floating before me.
