Rania's Invisible Search
PART 30 MYSTERY DISCOVERY OF CORPSES
Wati and I discussed the issue until midnight. Not feeling the clock on the wall showed one hour and thirty minutes. The air tonight felt very cold, the curtains in the window moved due to the gusts of wind. Wati stood up and close the curtain, from the corner of the dark hallway a silhouette of someone's shadow was walking.
"Who the hell are these nights out of the room, my feeling is so bad" said Wati by wiping the back of her neck.
"What do you see anyway?" I got up from my seat and looked out the window.
"Shhh. Don't be noisy Ran, look at that rich Aunt Ajeng and Agus." now Wati whispered while pointing out the window.
I hooked both eyebrows, looking out of the room with a probing. It turns out Wati is not wrong to see, at the end of the hallway there is Aunt Ajeng and Agus. Both of them carried trays containing fruits and canang along with incense. Although now I'm not surprised if they do pray, but it's a bit unreasonable. Where there are people praying in the middle of the night like this, or maybe they have a certain intention.
Chequek.
Wati opened the room door and walked behind them. Suddenly I was surprised, my heart beat irregularly seeing the actions of Wati who was classified as very brave. Even though the Wati I used to know was very timid, even with my best friend Petter he was scared. Immediately I pull Wati's hand, and forbid her to go follow Aunt Ajeng and Agus.
"If you don't want to come here, I'm curious about them, I'm increasingly suspicious that this family is a Leak cult, just like the headless corpse." wati said speaking slowly.
"If so we find out together, but we have to be careful not to get caught."
We walked behind them, both of them into the always-closed living room. Strange, why Agus who has only lived here for a few days, is allowed to go inside. The sound of the door in the lock from the inside, Wati and I could only breathe out. Not wanting to just surrender, I looked for gaps from various angles. So we can see what they are doing inside. Wati took the initiative by climbing up a pile of used items, which were in the warehouse next to the family room. We both climbed up and peered through the ventilation holes. It appears that Aunt Ajeng is arranging offerings and canang in front of the altar, both of them holding incense and performing rituals. We don't understand what the two are doing, somehow it has to be in the middle of the night like this.
Whuus.
Strong wind shook the trees, made the branches rub against each other and made the atmosphere more tense. The strong aroma of incense disturbs breathing. From in front of the altar of the place of prayer, appeared the silhouette of a large familiar tall figure in my eyes. The figure was like communicating with Aunt Ajeng, I don't know what they were talking about. Because Wati and I can't hear anything from outside the room. Wati was upset to see the two, now Agus stood up and worshiped the large high silhouette. Unable to resist the annoyance of Wati coming down immediately, and intending to bang on the door from the outside. I shook my head and held Wati with all my might. But he insisted on knowing what was true, because according to Wati it was certain that they were Leak worshipers. And he had to dismantle the guise of Aunt Ajeng and Agus. But Wati had not had time to bang on the door, Agus had already opened the door from the inside. They rounded their eyes, surprised to see me and Wati at the door.
"You people! What are you two doing here?" said Aunt Ajeng with a high tone.
"Tante Ajeng is honest with us, what is Auntie doing inside? we already suspected that Auntie and Agus were hiding something. Are you really Leak's followers?" tukas Wati who can not hold back anger.
Seeing that Agus was very angry, he grabbed Wati's hand while dragging her away from the door. Me and Aunt Ajeng tried to stop Agus, but his power was too strong, he pushed Wati until his body hit the wall.
"Udah Gus, it's only natural that they are suspicious of us. Maybe now it's time we tell the truth" said Aunt Ajeng mediated the debate at the time.
"I'm sorry, Auntie, we're not rude. But we were wondering what Auntie and Agus were doing in this room at midnight like this. So really, did Aunt do the ritual inside? because in addition to inhaling the aroma of incense, we also saw you carrying offerings and canang. What is the importance of aunt doing this midnight ritual? can't it be just an ordinary prayer?" I looked at the two with a serious face, and the two of them just looked at each other speechlessly.
"Lu don't need to know what we're doing inside, all you have to know is the purpose we're doing the ritual. We just want to protect our family and the people closest to us, including you" Agus said with sharp eyes.
"Yes, you obviously dong, from the beginning I asked you nicely. But you even sewed me!" exclaim Wati with a waist rack.
"You guys calm down, don't argue at midnight. Everyone will wake up later. Now we talk in the living room, so that the boarding children are not disturbed by our voices." Pinta Aunt Ajeng as he walked to the main house.
Aunty Ajeng still wearing typical Balinese women's kebaya dress. He asked Agus to be calm and quiet, because from now on he always argued with Wati. Now the atmosphere seems tense, Aunt Ajeng sat with her hands folded on her thighs.
"First of all Aunt wants to ask you two to keep a secret, what we're going to talk about right now. Aunty wants to tell you a secret, even Om Dewa and Dahayu don't know anything about what Aunty will tell you both. Can you promise Auntie?" tanya Aunt Ajeng looked seriously at me and also Wati.
Seen Wati trouble swallowing her saliva, she looks nervous with a sweat that soaks her forehead. I clasped Wati's hand and gave the body gesture code, if we agree to nod our heads.
Then Aunt Ajeng asked Agus to take something to show us. We waited for Agus' arrival uneasily, not knowing what his nephew and Tantenya were hiding from everyone. Even her husband knew nothing, I took a deep breath trying to calm myself down.
"You don't have to be nervous Rania, look at your cousin Wati can calm down because of you. Why are you so nervous now? take it easy, Auntie won't hurt you. It is precisely you who can help Auntie, so Aunt please very confidently with what Aunty will explain to you" said Aunt Ajeng with a sad face.
Strange, why suddenly the expression on Aunt Ajeng's face changed drastically. From the initially calm and gentle, now he looked fragile with teary eyes. I don't know what they're really hiding.
...Hayoo on keppo ya waitin Agus take something inside, and not out? wait for the next episode. See you's....
...Seriate....
