The Three Chosen
150. The End of Marwah

Mardiyah opened her eyes and saw Gusman sitting next to her. Mardiyah hurried to wake up because she remembered Gusman's words that would ask her for an explanation.

“ Gusman..,” call Mardiyah down.

“ You're human, thank goodness.” said Gusman.

“ Me..., I'm sorry. But listen to my explanation first..,” said Mardiyah while holding Gusman's hand so as not to float slapping his face.

“ What you want to explain Mardiyah. You lied to me all this time. My kids are stupid for not attending school. Luckily, Najas married a good man and accepted him sincerely. If not, what will be the fate of Najas. He will suffer because of you. Then Salman. Why did you tell him to quit school. He's a man, his steps are long. He's the one who's gonna be my shoulder to lean on when I'm old. But you destroyed all my dreams and my hopes Mardiyah. Why are you doing this Mardiyah. They are your children..,” said Gusman sadly.

Mardiyah cried as if regretting her actions. He just acted as if he was forced to and was under pressure while doing that.

“ You also have Salman and Najas working. Then you took their money. What is Mardiyah for, what is money

what I gave you wasn't enough. You work too and I never ask for a dime of your salary. Then why do you treat Salman and Najas like that. You're their mother, their birth mother. I can't believe you can be this bad as Mardiyah.” said Gusman while staring at Mardiyah.

Mardiyah lowered her face for a moment then ventured to look at Gusman.

“ Divorce I Gusman. I am tired and fed up with all this..” said Mardiyah suddenly.

“ You want a divorce after you destroy this family Mardiyah. Where's your conscience.?” gusman asked in disbelief.

“ I destroyed this family. Thats correct. Then what do you want now Gusman. Shouldn't you divorce Me so you can be free from bad guys like me.?” ask Mardiyah cynically.

“ I won't divorce you Mardiyah. This is your punishment for daring to play with fire behind my back.” Gusman said.

“ Main fire what do you mean Gusman..?” ask Mardiyah to panic.

“ I know you've double Mardiyah. But I survived because of the kids. Because right now my children are away from me, so I can only count on you to be by my side.

“ Sia*an. I don't want Gusman. Divorce Me now..!” mardiyah screamed but Gusman ignored her and walked out of the room and locked the door.

Mardiyah curses and throws objects near her towards the door. While Gusman seemed to close his eyes while leaning behind the door. Meanwhile, Marwah's spirit looked with pity at Gusman with regret for not being able to comfort him.

Mardiyah met Marwah at the cloth store to ask for some money. At that time Marwah was working part-time there in order to have money to meet her personal needs.

Mardiyah's screams and gestures put Marwah to shame. Especially at that time there were many buyers at the fabric store. Because it was not good enough, Marwah finally brought Mardiyah out of the store.

“ Don't get rich gini Mom, I'm working again. What if I get fired later..?” marwah almost cried.

“ So give your money now. Mother needs to be so much more. Your sister's school needs are urgent. I don't know who else to borrow.” said Mardiyah lied.

“ Which money is more Ma'am. My money was taken last week. It hasn't been a month but I've been here three times. What exactly is Mother here, the cost from home to here is also quite large. If you need money should not have to come here will be able to telephon me..,” said Marwah ketus.

“ Don't be impudent You ya Marwah. Try that money immediately. I'm waiting for you in the boarding room..” said Mardiyah ketus as she passed.

Marwah looked at Mardiyah's back while clenching her hands. Marwah knows that Mardiyah is lying. He knew his mother gave the money to the man. And this time Marwah did not want to be patient again.

Marwah followed Mardiyah who was walking towards a small house on the outskirts of town. In front of his eyes Marwah watched the mother making out with the man. Even they do int*m relationships like husband and wife. Marwah closed her mouth in surprise to see the scene of Mardiyah's bed and her affair man from behind the bedroom window.

When he realized his actions were known by Marwah, Malhaj was angry and contacted his partner by telephone and then told his partner to finish Marwah without Mardiyah's knowledge. Marwah who was hiding behind the window was hit with a wooden block until fainted. Afterwards Marwah's body was left lying just like that by the window.

When Mardiyah came out of Malhaj's house, she found several people crowded near the window next to Malhaj's house. When Marwah fainted, Mardiyah panicked. Moreover, there was blood coming out from between the lips, nose and ears of Marwah at that time.

“ Take you home to the hostel, go straight to his room. Didn't you bring Marwah's room key.?” ask Malhaj.

“ Yes...,” fast Mardiyah.

“ Good. Let's go there now..,” take Malhaj who is possessed by Mardiyah.

By using a taxi Mardiyah and Malhaj brought Marwah's body back to the boarding house. When he arrived there, the princess's special boarding house was still quiet because all the hostess residents were busy working and attending college. Mardiyah and Malhaj carried Marwah's body and put it in the room, put it on the bed and left the place immediately.

“ Come quickly, let alone the one you are looking for..” said Malhaj.

“ Yes for a moment, I have an idea to trick everyone.

“ What..?” ask Malhaj.

“ Letters...,” said Mardiyah while writing a few sentences on paper and then put it in a drawer. The paper is the handle of the police to close the case of Marwah's death because it considers if Marwah is depressed because of family problems. Weird !.

Mardiyah never knew that Marwah was dying from the impact of a wooden block that hit her head and face earlier. After leaving Marwah in her boarding room, Mardiyah rushed home to Gusman's house.

At first Mardiyah could not sleep because she was worried that Marwah would tell her affair with Malhaj to her husband. But apparently Mardiyah's concerns were not proven. That night Mardiyah was able to sleep well and forget her worries. Until the next day the news reached his ears. Mardiyah was hit and not

I thought Marwah had died. In his heart Mardiyah regretted not taking Marwah to the Hospital to treat her injuries. But that regret only kept Mardiyah in heart.

Diagnosis of the medical team that was sent to the CTF said if Marwah died from severe injuries to the head. The bleeding inside his head caused death. Marwah has never been human since she was beaten by someone she did not know.

Mardiyah gasped in surprise when she saw another ghost Marwah sighting in her room. This time Mardiyah was determined to face it bravely.

“ What else do you want Marwah..?” ask Mardiyah.

“ Want to remind Mom if your adventure and your freedom will end soon.

“ Why bother me so much Marwah.?” ask Mardiyah in despair.

“ Because you also disturb me continue Mother, even until the end of my life.

“ Go Marwah, goii..!” said Mardiyah lantang.

“ Must be Mom, but later after seeing you and your lover languishing in prison.

“ I didn't kill you neither did he. So stop boasting Marwah..!” said Mardiyah lantang.

“ But you didn't help me Mom. You let that wound take my life. Why Mother...?” ask the ghost of sad Marwah.

“ Me..., I'm sorry Marwah. I was confused, I...,” Mardiyah's speech was interrupted as the ghost of Marwah drifted closer and closer to her with an angry and disappointed look.

“ I am in pain Mom, my body feels smashed like this..” said the ghost of Marwah while grinning.

After saying that, the ghostly face of Marwah that was originally pale and bluish bruised slowly began to melt along with the blood flowing from between her lips, nostrils and ears. Not just the face that melted but all of his body. The melt of Marwah's ghostly body fell on the floor forming a foul-smelling blackish puddle. Mardiyah seemed forced to watch all the process of melting Marwah's ghost body with both eyes open and the body trembling. And finally Mardiyah screamed loudly because she could not see everything.

Mardiyah's screams made Gusman wake up and rushed to open the door of the room that was accidentally locked earlier. As the door opened Gusman could see Mardiyah sitting chaotically in the corner of the room. There was pity in Gusman's heart but he was also upset to remember what Mardiyah did to her children.
