Rania's Invisible Search
PART 78 AWKWARDNESS?
I looked at Aunt Ajeng's sad face, and then I asked her to speak with four eyes. I'm trying to glean the information I can, about all the irregularities that happened.
"Aunte as far as Rania, Umi never performed prayers or rituals like that. Why would Candidate Charcoal keep going after him?"
"The boy had nothing to do with Calon Arang, probably because Dahayu presented him, because only his father became a follower of Leak. And he was a traitor to the other Leaks."
"But as far as I know Umi is a Muslim loh Aunt, Rania has seen makai mukena. How can he replace his father's position as a loyal servant of Calon Arang?"
"Actually Umi was very devoted to both parents. Since childhood he always helped his mother who worked in one of the figures of the late mother-in-law Aunt. His mother did not want if Umi followed in the footsteps of his father as a follower of Leak, because that's why since childhood Umi always educated his mother became a Muslim. Despite that, Umi still appreciates her father's beliefs. Yes, not much different from Agus. Did you see that Agus' mother was a Muslim? although Agus followed his father's beliefs, his mother still wanted to send prayers for her son. So tonight's tahlilan is done. Aunty no problem yes, the more that doain Agus will be better for sure."
I clasped Aunt Ajeng's hand, looking at him deeply. He then bowed his head with tears. Immediately I hugged Aunt Ajeng to calm her.
"Rania understood what Auntie was feeling. A few years ago, Auntie lost a child because Aunt's husband offered up your own flesh and blood. Now Auntie must also lose her nephew due to the same power struggle. Did you know from the beginning that Janni had the intention to harm Agus? last night when Aunt and Janni waited for Agus at the Hospital, did Janni ever leave Aunt alone?"
Aunt Ajeng was silent for a moment, she frowned trying to remember the incident I asked. Then he nodded his head and said that Janni had gone to find food and drink.
"But when he came back, Janni only brought mineral water and two packs of bread. Aunty waited for his arrival to fall asleep, he said he got an impromptu call from the Hospital. Because there were some nurses who did not come, he had to help for a while. What's the matter, Rania?"
I haven't had time to say anything, suddenly Mas Adit ran in a hurry. He told me that my suspicions about Janni were true.
"The officer found his diary in the closet. There he revealed all his heart, so it is true that Janni who has eliminated Umi by hanging him. He is very clever, because he uses gloves to disguise his fingerprints. All the evidence has been made one by the officers, and what is even more surprising is, we found Agus's belongings in a large bag in Janni's closet. It becomes a new task for us to investigate her further. Janni was allegedly involved in the deaths of two Umi and Agus men. We stay deep into other motives and interrelations."
"If you want, I can help you explain it."
Mas Adit ruffled his waist and exhaled deeply, he shook his head asking me not to interfere in his investigation. He thinks everything I say is inexplicable, because I got information from an invisible source. Just as Aunt Ajeng rounded her eyes, she was surprised to find out if I could communicate with such a magical creature.
"Udah Aunty, don't listen to Mas Adit, he likes to be joking."
"Rania, Aunt was suspicious from the start. When you can see Agni's spirit possessing Janni, but Aunt never talks about it. You're afraid you're uncomfortable if Aunt asks. So who told you about Janni?"
"Arwah Umi told me everything Auntie, but strangely Agus' spirit said nothing about Janni and his father Umi who had conspired to eliminate her."
"So he said he didn't want to hear my explanation, because the source is from an invisible creature!" I screamed at him by turning his face away.
"Yes yes sorry, now I want to hear your explanation. You are somewhat unreasonable, if the motive is hurt because love claps one hand, for what Janni took valuables belonging to Agus. Whereas if Janni wanted to, she could also pick up Umi's valuables before leaving this hostel."
"So gini Mas." I said as I sat next to him.
"Janni worked with two of the perpetrators who had been in prison. They make the drama so that the police believe, if Agus is wretched because of the actions of the thugs who want to rob him. Hence Janni deliberately collected valuable items belonging to Agus. Just like the incident that happened to Umi, Agus was beaten using a tool that they had thrown out somewhere. And even if they meet the device will not leave their fingerprints, because they use gloves. And in Umi's case, Janni wears gloves so as not to leave her fingerprints. He put Umi's hand on the rope, so it's as if Umi really hanged herself."
"God. Aunty did not think that Janni was that bad, apparently she had two personalities. You should have asked if Janni had left Auntie at the Hospital. Actually at that time Mr. Adit was also in the Hospital, but he seemed exhausted and fell asleep. So Aunt didn't wake up, so she didn't know that Janni had left the hospital."
Mas Adit scratched his head that did not itch, he felt bad for giving testimony if he was with Aunt Ajeng and Janni.
"It's okay, Mas, you're not lying to say it's in the hospital" I said with raised eyebrows.
Dret dret.
The phone in my pants pocket was shaking, a phone call from Mr. Jarwo appeared. For some reason he called me these nights, I immediately touched the phone receipt button and spoke to him.
"Assalamualaikum Nduk, is everything there okay."
Waalaikumsalam sir, the situation here is rather complicated sir. And there's nothing Rania can help, even Malik never shows his nose again."
"Malik was seriously injured Nduk, the night when Dahayu and you went to the Mangrahi nature, Malik was trying hard to protect the entire Swamp Village of Maggots from the rampage of the followers of Leak. At that time I didn't know anything about guarding the portal of the supernatural realm, and after you all came back. We are all grieving and busy with Mbah Karto's funeral. I just found out that Malik got hurt after fighting some Leak followers without any help from anyone. Although he managed to thwart the evil intentions of Leak's followers, Malik's soul was not as lucky as his fate. He is being cared for by an elder who is in the supernatural, if the elder does not succeed in healing Malik, the possibility of Malik's soul will be lost forever. I had to tell you, because I didn't want to regret it later. Moreover, there are still some unfinished stories in the past between you."
The explanation of Mr. Jarwo makes me stunned, suddenly my heartbeat beats irregularly. The story in the past of what Mr. Jarwo said, because I can't remember anything about the purpose of his conversation.
