The Three Chosen
77. Searching for Evidence
Bayan's wife seemed to continue sticking beside Bayan after successfully contacting Sumantri earlier. She was worried that her husband would be angry because he called ‘mantannya’ first. While Bayan looks relaxed and continues to boast a smile even though anxiety looms clearly on his face.
Bayan looks impatient to meet with Sumantri, the person who wants to be met by the subtle creatures that possessed his daughter earlier. Bayan hoped that after the subtle-creature met Sumantri he would come out of Neta's body and not bother her again later.
“ Are you sure he wants to come Ma...?” ask Bayan.
“ Insya Allah Yah. She couldn't expect much because she was super busy. Mama is not sure the case of Our Child attracted her interest to come. Especially if you remember first we broke up not all right. Mama is worried that she still has a grudge against Mama..,” said Bayan's wife keceplosan.
“ Break up ga fine what does it mean Ma...?” ask Bayan curiously.
“ Oh that, um gapapa kok Well. Udah can not be discussed again yes Well, shame..,” sahut Bayan wife misbehaved.
Bayan only let out a long sigh at his wife's reply. Then Bayan turned to the central room where Neta was sitting watching television accompanied by Iyaz and Izar. All three look familiar. Even Bayan could hear Neta's laughter which he rarely heard when Neta was with others. Secretly Bayan smiled watching the togetherness of Neta and the twins.
Shortly afterwards there was a roar of vehicles entering the courtyard of Bayan's house. Bayan's wife turned her head and smiled when she saw Sumantri willing to come to her house.
“ Thank God, it's called Sumantri Yah..,” said Bayan's wife.
“ Mmm, pretty handsome...,” Bayan said with a smile.
“ But more handsome Husband is dong, let alone smart taekwondo. Which girl is not interested in handsome men and can martial rich Dad..,” seductive wife Bayan while embracing the arms of Bayan to make Bayan blush embarrassed.
Sumantri got out of her car. When he was about to contact someone through his mobile phone, Bayan and his wife came out to welcome Sumantri.
“ Assalamualaikum..., am I late..?” ask Sumantri.
“ Wa aleikumsalam, ga kok. Oh yes, this is my husband. His name is Bayan, taekwondo teacher.” says Sumanti's wife is proud.
“ Oh, I'm Sumantri..” welcome Sumantri friendly.
Bayan and Sumantri shook hands with each other. Then Bayan brought Sumantri into his house. There he introduced Sumantri to ustadz Hamzah, Faiq and his two children. Then Bayan recounted his intention of inviting Sumantri to come to his house this time.
“ My daughter who joined her Mama attended the reunion was possessed by a subtle creature Sir. Said
the subtle-creature came from the villa where you were reunited the other day. The subtle-beings that possessed My Son wanted my Wife to help him bring him together with Mr. Sumantri. Said he had something he wanted to say directly to Mr...” Bayan said.
“ Hard to believe, but I'm curious to be..” Sumantri said.
“ KaloPak Sumantri ga object, We can not stop by looking at Mr. Sumantri's villa..?” ask Faiq.
“ Oh may, of course may. When do we go there...?” ask Sumantri.
“ Can now..?” ask Faiq again.
“ Ok. I am ready to invite everyone to come to my villa..” Sumantri said enthusiastically.
Without wasting time Sumantri took ustadz Hamzah, Bayan, Faiq and his two children to go see the condition of the villa where he hosted a school reunion two weeks ago.
When arriving at the villa the day has entered the time of Dzuhur. Karen far from the mosque, they also held Dzuhur prayers together in the villa owned by Sumantri. After performing the Dzuhur prayer, they sat down casually on the side terrace
while talking about many things.
A villa manager came and served some food and drinks on the table. Secretly Faiq
looking at the villa manager who had limp legs with a sharp look.
“ Do you know Laudya..?” ask Faiq carefully.
“ Yes, yes Sir...,” Faiq fast.
“ I don't know too well. I just know he's the teacher in charge of Rafa's education. Because My Son has autism, so My Wife and I chose home schooling for Rafa. But lately I've never squirm Bu Laudya again. My Wife said Bu Laudya moved to another city because he had to marry his fiancee..,” said Sumantri.
“ Do you know who is Bu Laudya's fiance..?” ask Faiq.
“ Ga tau. But for a moment, why is Mas Faiq nanyain the same me...?” asked Sumantri confused.
“ Because Mr. Sumantri's answer will determine the steps we will take later..,” said Faiq relaxed.
Ustadz Hamzah, Bayan, Iyaz and Izar are just good listeners. They had no intention of interrupting or interfering in the chatter of Faiq and Sumantri. Then Sumantri sipped a black coffee from her glass. After that Sumantri put down the glass slowly while staring at Faiq for a moment and continued her story.
“ I do not know who is Bu Laudya's fiance and I do not want to know..” said Sumantri.
“ Let me tell you. Bu Laudya's fiancee is Sofian, the personal driver of Mr. Sumantri's Wife.
“ Oh yes. But why is Sofian still a rich ordinary job when Bu Laudya is getting married. Then who is the man who will marry Bu Laudya..?” ask Sumantri.
“ Ga no...,” sahut Faiq fast.
“ Ga exists, that is..?” asked Sumantri curiously.
“ Bu Laudya not permission to marry but he has died because he was killed.” said Faiq.
“ Inna Lillahi wainna ilaihi rojiuun. Who killed Bu Laudya..?” asked Sumantri in disbelief.
“ Sofian fiancee Bu Laudya, who else is it..,” said Faiq ketus.
“ Sorry Mas, is it not too early to accuse people without evidence. Because after I Sofian was a good person, polite, responsible again.” Sumantri said defending Sofian.
“ Good yes. If he's a good man, why would he kill his own fiancee and bury his body in the middle of the pool in this villa, sir.?” asked Faiq while looking at Sumantri fixedly.
“ What, impossible..!” suhut Sumantri loudly while standing from her sitting position.
Suddenly the statue of a small child in the garden near the terrace collapsed to the surprise of everyone. Faiq, Iyaz and Izar see the ghost of Laudya as the culprit. He was angry because Sumantri continued to defend the person who had harmed him.
After that the villa manager named Asep seemed to run towards Sumantri and his guests with breath
huffled.
“ Sorry sir, the water in the pool is suddenly red Sir..,” Asep reports.
“ Do not ngaco you, where may the pool water dirty suddenly. The construction I myself designed, where it might leak or not be contaminated groundwater.” said Sumantri.
“ I don't know Sir, I don't understand. All I know is that the pool water is red. Though at that time I saw plants near the pool water is still rich usually kok..,” said Asep again.
Sumantri stared at Faiq for a moment and walked towards the swimming pool at the back of the villa. Everyone followed Sumantri and was surprised to see the reddish-colored pool water.
Sumantri seemed to shake her head. Then he ordered the villa manager to drain the water in the pool using a water pump.
When Asep the villa manager walked towards the warehouse to get the water pump, he suddenly screamed and fell down. Sumantri panicked and immediately approached to give first aid to Asep.
