Rania's Invisible Search
PART 273 SUSPECTS WATI?
Because the entire family of Mr. Langgeng died. So inevitably all administrative affairs become the responsibility of all citizens. I went with Wati to the funeral office to pay all the administrative expenses, because tomorrow the body will be buried soon. Everyone is exhausted and tonight they have to take care of all the bodies of Mr. Langgeng's family.
"So, didn't the funeral take place?" Ask a man in black.
"It would be so, but Mr. Langgeng will have one son in the city. He was adopted by his wife's family. So Mr. Haji postponed the funeral procession, waiting until Mr. Langgeng's son came." Reply Mr. Sapri explained.
Out of curiosity, I approached both.
"Have you gone home to Nduk? How'd you meet the funeral attendant?"
"Udah kok sir, but for his payment wait tomorrow morning. Rania Sama Wati only discussed four lands that will be used tomorrow. Rania Denger Pak Langgeng still has children in the city, why did Rania just hear yes sir?"
Mr. Sapri said, if the family of Mr. Langgeng's wife had no children. And the second child of the family was finally handed over to the family of his wife Pak Langgeng.
"From the boy's age three months have been given. So yes, the child never knew who his biological parents were. And because today one of his family was killed all, finally Pak Haji asked me to give news to the family who adopted the child. But because his son is now working in the city, so yes can not come directly here. Wait for the boy to get here with his adoptive parents. Moreover, the child's parents are still relatives of Mr. Langgeng's wife." Imbuh Pak Sapri while showing a piece of baby photo he took from a pile of ancient photo albums.
I saw a picture of a pretty handsome baby boy. He slept on his back with a smile holding a woman's hand. When viewed from his face, it looks like this is the late wife of Mr. Langgeng.
"You see what Ran is?"
"This is Wat Mr. Langgeng's biological son who is cared for by his relatives. It turns out the bodies are waiting for their only family to come from the city."
"Oh so this is what the citizens were talking about. Poor thing, never met once met a different nature."
"That's Nduk's life, we can't control destiny. I hope the kid can get a chest." Said Mr. Sapri exhaling a long breath.
"How old is he now, sir?" Chirps Wati curious.
"Maybe more or less your age Nduk. Iha wong with Aldo at most a few months away."
"Tomorrow you guys please replace Mbok Genuk with Nduk. Pity she was so sad to see her grandson's condition."
"Let Rania alone, sir, because Wati must take care of Pramono. Later he even rampaged if there is no Mbok Genuk or Wati."
Wati looked to her right and left, like she wanted to say something but stopped. Mr. Jarwo who can read the strange gelagat Wati immediately asked if there was anything he was hiding. Nervously Wati replied, if there is anything she wants to ask Mr. Jarwo. He only wants to speak four eyes.
"If so Rania ahead first sir, want to read the same yasin others."
I set foot into the living room, I sat beside the mothers who were reading the holy verses. Some of them were talking about Mr. Langgeng's biological children. According to them Mr. Langgeng's son had success in the city, but he forgot his parents. Because he doesn't want to admit to his real family.
"Lajar, Iha wong she doesn't want to admit her biological parents. His adoptive parents are rich, so he can go to college until college." Mum Dian's next door neighbor.
"Sorry Mom, it's better not to talk like that here. Pity the souls of this family, they can still hear and see what we do.
Faintly heard the giggling sound of kuntilanak outside the house. People sitting outside are scattered. They entered the house screaming. Instantly the people who were chanting prayer readings immediately stopped doing their activities. Mr. Jarwo came and asked everyone to calm down.
"Continue reading his prayer with Pak Haji. Let me get rid of that prankster shit." Mr. Jarwo said as he stepped out.
The clock has shown ten o'clock at night. And there's usually no interference from fad demits like tonight. Mr. Haji also explained, if all the events that occurred in this village were due to the actions of Mr. Warto. He did everything to make the peace of the people disturbed.
"My aging age makes it impossible to take care of everyone. We only rely on Mr. Jarwo, but until when should this continue. If Warto is not stopped, then forever he will be a threat to everyone."
"God willing, Rania will help. So Mr. Haji doesn't have to worry."
"Didn't you also have to solve the problems that overshadowed Wati's life as well as Nduk?"
I just took a deep breath, remembering Wati's strange gurgle. He spoke with Mr. Jarwo. I wonder what he is really talking about. Or maybe there's something he's hiding from me. From a distance I saw Wati saying goodbye to some people. I stood up to follow him from behind. But it seems Wati is in a hurry to leave this house. Why did Wati jadu turn indifferent to me huh, why did he seem to avoid me huh. My mind is full of questions because of its strange gurgle.
