The Three Chosen
41. Bitter Memories

Hanako tries to help Warti sit in a chair and hands her a bottle of mineral water she brought to her. Initially, Warti refused to drink the water because he was worried that he would see a more painful reality later. Apparently, Warti knew that Faiq and Hanako had ‘excess’ to see something that ordinary people like him could not see.

“ Drink first Bu...,” says Hanako softly.

“ This water what is Hana..?” ask Warti.

“ This is ordinary mineral water that has been diruqyah Bu..,” Hanako said patiently.

“ Diruqyah water, not that water drunk the same people who are possessed yes.?” ask Walt again.

Hanako laughed at Warti's question while Faiq was smiling.

“ Air ruqyah is water that has been recited holy verse Al Qur’an, dhikr and Bu Warti prayer. The goal is to calm the heart while neutralizing the bad influence of the evil jinn that disturb humans. Insha Allah after drinking this water Bu Warti can be calmer..” said Faiq explained.

“ Oh that. If the heart is calm, I want Sir. Here, I drink the water now...,” pinta Warti while raising his hand.

Hanako handed him a bottle of mineral water that he had opened the lid. Warti immediately grabbed the bottle and gulped down the contents to the toilet as if very thirsty and had never drank water for a long time.

Hanako and Faiq stared at each other for a moment and nodded their heads. Then they looked at Harti who had just finished drinking and was leaning on the chair as if very exhausted.

“ Enough for today Ci...,” whispered Faiq.

“ Yes Pa...,” Hanako said while nodding.

Suddenly in the doorway had stood a teenage boy who was none other than the son of Warti named Wawan. He looked intently at Faiq and Hanako and was shocked to see his mother, who was seen sitting weakly in a chair.

“ What is this, why is My Mother. What are you guys doing with My Mom..?” asked Wawan while scattering towards Warti.

“ Ibu gapapa Wan..,” said Warti pacify Wawan.

“ I don't have to lie. I never saw a rich Gini mom. Don't be afraid Mom, just tell me what they're doing let me teach them.!” wawan said furiously.

“ Ibu gapapa Wawan, they are again helping Mother..,” said Warti began to be upset.

“ Help what Mom...?” wawan asked as he looked at Faiq and Hanako alternately.

“ Let me explain. Introduce Me Faiq and this is My Son Hanako. We came here because we want to help Bu Warti escape from the influence of black magic that has been following him.” said Faiq.

“ What black magic, how did I just know..?” wawan asked confusedly.

“ So don't get emotional first Wan. Listen to Mr. Faiq saying until finished do not cut in the middle of the rich road. Here sit down and cry..” said Warti as she patted the empty chair beside her.

“ Yes Bu...,” said Wawan then sat next to his mother.

Then Faiq began to explain what had really happened. Wawan seemed to listen to Faiq's words and then let out a long sigh.

“ Actually I already know if something is wrong with Me and My Mom Om..,” said Wawan.

“ You already know but I didn't say the same Mom...?” ask Warti.

“ I've told you before, but I'm angry. So instead of a storm I'd better be in it while looking for someone who can help us get out of this problem. Grateful Om Faiq and his son want to help us so I do not need to be confused again right..,” said Wawan while staring at his mother.

“ Since when do you know..?” ask Warti.

“ Since last week. I remember when there was a frame boy passing by on the front road there.?” ask Wawan.

“ Yes, why is it..?” tanya Hartin didn't understand.

“ The framer sells a variety of frames of various sizes. There is also a mirror that is designed that is ready and ready to use. Well that time the mirrors fit facing the house Kita Ma'am. Didn't I see the reflection of our house in that mirror. I was shocked and almost could not believe, and I tried to get those mirrors to Mastiin if what I saw was wrong. I checked from one mirror to the other. Turns out our house is ugly, ma'am, isn't it

a luxurious home that I always take pride in. And in the mirror I also look skinny, pale and my clothes shabby Mom..,” said Wawan while lowering his head.

Warti was stunned to hear his son's explanation. Without realizing it, tears flowed down her cheeks. Warti cried sobbing because he felt fooled by the mirror in his house. Wawan hugged his mother tightly to calm her down.

“ Um, sorry before. Where did you get that mirror from.?” ask Faiq carefully.

“ Mother found the mirror when We again start in the trash Om..,” said Wawan honestly.

“ In the trash..?” asked Faiq in disbelief because the mirror looked still in good condition.

“ Yes Om. Though many other scavengers who have also been squirming the mirror, but no one is interested in taking the mirror Om. I also do not know why...,” said Wawan again.

“ Continue I asked them, no one wants to bring the mirror and they said they do not want. Because no one wants to finally I take it home, it's enough to make it stick at home.” said Warti added.

Hanako who listened to Faiq's conversation with Wawan and Warti also accidentally turned to the mirror in question. Both Hanako's eyes were rounded as she looked at the black figure standing up and gazed furiously towards her

them.

“ Papa...,” call Hanako with vibrating voice.

“ Yes Nak...,” said Faiq then followed Hanako's direction and saw a black shadow appear to pass in the mirror.

Faiq immediately stood up and quickly stepped towards the mirror. Warti and Wawan let Faiq approach the mirror. Faiq stopped right in front of the large black-framed mirror and placed his palm on it.

But Faiq could not continue his search because he felt uncomfortable until it was difficult to concentrate. Faiq turned to Warti and asked permission to bring the mirror.

“ Can I bring this mirror..?” tanya Faiq hesitated.

“ Bring it Sir, annihilate all if necessary. Since there was a mirror I often hear strange sounds every time alone at home. Now after knowing that I was tricked into the mirror, I thought that the strange sound I heard came from the mirror, Mr...” said Warti.

“ Bu Warti is right. I'm going to shake this mirror first. Insya Allah if it is finished, I will invite Bu Warti and Wawan to join diruqyah as well. How's Mom..?” ask Faiq.

“ Yes Sir, I want diruqyah..,” said Warti enthusiastically and embraced Wawan.

“ So I brought this mirror. Ci, please take the blanket in the trunk yes Nak..,” pinta Faiq.

“ Ready Pa...,” Hanako said that came out of the house accompanied by Wawan.

Soon Hanako and Wawan returned with a large blanket that was used to wrap the mirror. After that, Faiq and Hanako decided to take the big mirror with them.

After the mirror was taken away, the atmosphere in the house was a little different. The usual moist aura emanating from inside the house faded and it was felt by Warti and her son.

Faiq brought the mirror to Darius' house. There he told Fatur and Darius everything. When looking at the mirror was first Darius like dejavu because he felt he had a similar mirror in the past.

“ Opa kanya know this mirror..,” said Darius while observing the mirror placed on the terrace of his house.

“ Opa Intentions..?” ask Faiq don't understand.

“ Long ago when Oma your birth was alive We once had a mirror rich in gini, very similar...” said Darius as he rubbed the mirror slowly.

“ Oh yes, if you can know Oma buy the mirror where Pa...?” ask Faiq.

“ If it's not wrong it's a gift from his sick friend. Before the death of Oma's friend You gave the mirror to Us as a memento because he felt if his age was not long anymore. It turned out that the day after the mirror was given to Oma, his friend Oma died immediately.

“ Keep Oma yourself how, what happened the same Oma...?” ask Faiq curiously.

“ Two weeks after his friend died, Oma You also started getting sickly. In his pain he said that he often heard strange sounds. At that time Opa only thought he was exhausted from having to take care of Our Twins

your Mom and Fajar. But it turns out Opa was wrong. When Opa realized something was wrong with the mirror, Oma You were dying. Opa took Oma to the Hospital and was treated a few hours ago and died. Oma you just ordered that the mirror be destroyed because it is dangerous for Opa and the twins. After taking care of Oma Kamu's funeral, Opa immediately burned it to pieces. Opa thought the mirror was destroyed, but when writhing this mirror Kok Opa felt that this mirror was very similar to the mirror that Opa destroyed at that time.

“ Did Papa ga consult first with Kyai Syakir before burning the mirror Pa..?” ask Fatur.

“ That time Papa did not think for nanyain it same Kyai Syakir. Moreover, Kyai Syakir used to be busy and often went to several provinces and even abroad to preach. Papa just told me after two months of your stepmom's death, son. Kyai Syakir said there was something evil in the mirror. Papa did not know what he meant because Papa thought at that time the important mirror of the doom was Papa destroyed.

“ Did the late Kyai Syakir say that this mirror can be intact again even though it has been destroyed many times Pa..?” ask Faiq.

“ Yes...,” says Darius.

“ So this is the same mirror that Oma once had Pa. And we must destroy this mirror immediately so that it does not take many more victims.” said Faiq to make Darius surprised.

Darius recalled his time with his first wife. Darius recalled finding his wife lying weak and pale on the living room floor. The twins were seen playing on a carpet not far from his wife's body.

“ You why Honey, what happened.?” ask Darius.

“ I gapapa, only soy sauce aja..,” said to Darius' wife.

“ We have to go to Hospital Yes. I'm worried that you have a serious illness. If it is not quickly detected it can harm you, you know Ma.” said Darius.

“ I just fell because I heard a strange sound in the middle room, do not know what sound. But really serem. Keep running away scared. Because I was not careful I slipped and fell..,” said Darius' wife.

“ Strange sounds, ntar I check. Now we go to the Hospital first yes..” said Darius while holding his wife.

“ Kids how Pa...?” ask Darius' wife.

“ Children be with my parents. Just calm down, now the important thing is to do your disease first..,” said Darius.

“ I want to kiss the kids first Pa. Who knows I will be in the Hospital long or even will not return later.” said Darius' wife while kissing Farah and Dawn alternately.

“ Ck, don't talk rich like that Ma. God willing You will be healthy and can gather again with Me and the Children.” said Darius upset.

But apparently the wife's premonition came true. A few hours later Darius's wife died at the Hospital. The doctor's diagnosis at that time was acute blood loss.

Darius rubbed his face agitatedly as he recalled the bitter memories that took his wife's life. Faiq and Fatur immediately hugged Darius tightly and tried to comfort him.

“ God willing We will find a way to destroy the devil in the mirror Pa. Papa just calm down yes..,” whispered Fatur while rubbing Darius' back.

“ Yes Son, please find and destroy that demon. Papa doesn't want any other victims after this.” said Darius with a vibrating voice.

Fatur and Faiq nodded and promised inwardly to comply with Darius' request and also stop the deadly mirror terror so as not to harm others.
