The Three Chosen
331. Escape Because...
Hanako hugged Paundra tightly while thinking to neutralize the mystical aura around the renovated house. After the car drove away from the house, Hanako seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Hanako is greeted by Erik and Farah in front of the house. Farah grabbed Paundra from Hanako's sling as Hanako opened the car door. After paying the online taxi fare Hanako also followed the Oma who brought her baby into the house.
“ Sorry Bu Hanako...,” call Grace with courtesy to make Hanako turn her head.
“ Yes, what is it Sir..?” ask Hanako.
“ Fees mostly Bu. One hundred and twenty thousand cma. This Mother paid him three hundred thousand, excess Ma...” said Grace while extending the change to Hanako.
“ Oh gapapa Pak Rahmat. Consider it a gift from me for the Children of Mr. Grace.” Hanako said with a smile.
“ Alhamdulillah.., thank you ma'am..,” sahut Rahmat with teary eyes.
“ Both Sir. Sorry I came in first yes, My Son was crying tuh...,” said Hanako while rushing into the house to breastfeed her baby.
Grace just smiled and then went back into the car and slowly drove her away from Erik's house by saying her name many times.
Inside the house, Farah and Shera are holding Paundra. Erik and Hanako just shook their heads at the behavior of the two. Hanako also expressed her desire to the opa to bring Paundra to the office when she started working later.
“ Can, Opa agrees. But what Pandu said was also true. Can you focus on working if Paundra is with you all day long.?” ask Erik.
“ Continue I should how dong Opa...?” ask Hanako confused.
“ Why not use baby sitter services anyway Ci. Let him supervise and take care of Paundra while you work.” said Shera.
“ But...,” greeting Hanako cut off because it was quickly cut by Farah.
“ You mean Mama, her baby sitter took also to Ci's office. So you can keep working without losing the chance to keep an eye on Paundra..,” said Farah.
“ Well it's much better. Opa agrees....,” Erik said with a smile.
“ That way I have to find a baby sitter first can just go back to the office dong..,” said Hanako.
“ Yes...,” says Erik and Farah together.
Hanako only let out a long sigh because she had to delay her desire to work in the office like she used to.

Izar seemed happy to tease Paundra who was being fed by Farah. Hanako is upset to see him because Paundra laughs more than she eats.
“ Udah dong Om, I want to eat first yes..” said Hanako representing the child.
“ Mami You are very stingy yes Nak..,” Izar said while pinching Paundra's cheek to make Hanako tickle.
“ Do not biasain noisily in front of Paundra, later he imitate your ugliness. You better get there first
let Paundra can eat comfortably.” said Farah while staring intently at Hanako and Izar alternately.
“ Yes Oma...,” Hanako and Izar say together.
The two shifted away from Farah and Paundra towards the side terrace. The opportunity was used by Hanako
to discuss the strangeness he encountered on the road earlier.
“ Eh Zar, You have been horrified by the benefits that the conditions of renovating the house in a certain period of time.?” ask Hanako.
“ Ever heard the hell, but his name forgot. Why the...?” ask Izar.
Hanako also began to tell the strangeness she saw including the story of Grace the taxi driver online earlier.
“ Which house is Ci...?” ask Izar who memorized the area of Hanako and Pandu houses because he often visited there.
“ Who decet the turn is Zar..,” Hanako said.
“ Which there is a row of palm trees in front of him yes.?” ask Izar doubtfully.
“ Yes right...,” Hanako fast.
“ What do you think the residents are doing Zar..?” ask Hanako.
“ Not necessarily. Maybe the owner of the house is the one who ngelakuinpesugihan..,” Izar said.
“ How to..?” ask Hanako.
“ Because as long as I know the house was rented to someone else. Been kost-kost an also kok..,” sahut Izar.
“ Kasian dong. If the creature asked for the tumbal, those who are pounded are..?” hanako asked while frowning.
The conversation of the two was heard by Faiq who had just arrived. After washing his hands and face Faiq joined Izar and Hanako.
“ Pesugihan kaya ga ask for human tumbal Ci. But still there are subtle creatures who watch over the house as you saw earlier.” said Faiq who immediately sat beside Izar.
“ Father, Papa...” call Izar and Hanako together to make Faiq smile.
Before Faiq explained further, Shera came up with a cup of coffee and a plate of fried bananas for her husband. As usual Izar and Hanako scrambled to pick up the fried banana while Faiq grabbed the cup and gulped down the contents.
“ You guys have just been scolded by Oma, kok repeated again anyway..,” said Shera while shaking his head at the behavior of Hanako and Izar.
Hanako and Izar were shocked and immediately corrected their attitude. They even stayed away from each other so they wouldn't argue anymore. Shera chose to sit between the two to mediate.
“ Continue if not human, what's the fall Pa...?” ask Hanako.
“ Their own home. His name is bubrah cage..,” sahut Faiq.
“ What cage Pa...?” ask Hanako.
“ Cici bubrah cage..,” sahut Izar anxious to make Faiq smile.
“ The assignment requires the adherents to do home renovations continuously. Even though the house is already good and overhauled here and there, as long as the adherents are still alive, you must continue to renovate the house. Either part of the kitchen, part of the terrace, change the frame and so forth. No need at the same time, the important thing is that there is always a renovation process in the house. Therefore, sometimes the form of the house whose owner adheres to the bubrah cage is irregular aka unconcepted. It will even overlap with the existing room. Sometimes there are three kitchens or four bathrooms in one house, all of which are rarely used.”, Faiq explained.
Hearing Faiq's words made Hanako's eyes round because she remembered the house she was talking to Izar about.
“ So the owner of the house really did ngelakuin the strange indulgence..” Hanako murmured while chewing a fried banana slowly.

That night Izar and Faiq drove Hanako home by car. When that car
driven by Izar passing in front of the house that was meant by Hanako earlier, seen a woman in pajamas running out of the house barefoot. His face looked very pale with messy hair. The woman blocked the speed of the car by stretching out her hands to the surprise of Izar. Luckily, he stopped the car.
“ Help Me, please...,” pinta the woman is crying.
Izar, Hanako and Faiq stared at each other for a moment then nodded. After getting the approval of the three people in the car, the woman rushed in. Afterwards Izar drove the car to Hanako's house.
“ Who are you and why..?” hanako asked as she hugged the baby tightly.
“ My name is Ratih, I ran away from the house because I could not stand being terrorized by the genie waiting for the house..,” said Ratih while occasionally looking back because of worry followed by something.
“ Jin what. You don't joke. Where there is a genie here.” sergeant Hanako pretends not to believe.
“ I ain't lying Ma'am. I just escaped a supernatural attack. I just do not know how the fate of friends of one host other..,” said Ratih rusar.
“ That means You are selfish for running away on your own without ngajak your friends.” said Izar cynically.
“ I've invited them out many times, but they even ngetawain Me Mas. They think I'm halu or something. That's why I came out alone earlier..,” said Ratih explained.
Hearing Ratih Izar's explanation fell silent. Soon they arrive at Hanako's house. As Ratih was about to descend following Hanako, Faiq held him back.
“ You don't need to enter Ratih. Let Us take you to your family home or your friend.” Faiq said firmly.
Izar and Hanako turned their heads but they understood why Faiq decided that. After taking Hanako down and greeting Pandu who greeted them at the door, Izar again drove his car away from the place.
