The Three Chosen
8. Asti Ghost

Faiq and Fatur were still standing in front of Anom's house when Anom's wife Ria was possessed by a subtle creature

a white woman. When the female ghost turned her head, she seemed surprised to see the existence of Faiq and Fatur there. Feeling that the plan will not go smoothly, the female ghost also intends to leave.

But the woman's ghostly intent was hindered because Faiq immediately held her back and asked her many things. The female ghost had a very sad form. The head, face and body on the right appear to be destroyed exposing part of the skull and skeleton of his body. The meat in the shattered place was as if it would date from its place. There are two iron rods along the 50 centi meter with a diameter of 5 millimeters that stick on the cheek and right eye until penetrating to the back of the head. Blood seemed to flow from the wound to wet the floor.

“ Who are you, why bother that woman.?” ask Faiq.

“ My name is Asti. I want to avenge this wicked woman because she has thwarted my marriage by

Anom...” said the ghost of the woman.

“ You are wrong. That woman is Anom's wife. So instead of being upside down, it is you who are disturbing the woman's household..,” Faiq said.

“ I was present earlier than him. But because of him Anom forgot his promise and made my family ashamed.

Anom didn't come on our wedding day. He even married this woman who claimed to be pregnant because of Anom's actions.!” said Asti's ghost was angry.

Faiq saw anger, disappointment and sadness in Asti's eyes. A flash of events flashed before Faiq.

At first Asti and Anom are in love and promise to knit the future together. They are planning a wedding in the near future. Although simple, but both are still eager to prepare for their marriage.

Without Asti knowing, apparently Anom also established love with other women at the same time. There are several women who were approached and promised marriage by Anom. And the women never knew if Anom's status at that time was a married man. They were fooled by the sweet mouth of Anom who was very clever to seduce it.

On the day that has been set, Asti and her family are ready to hold a wedding ceremony at the residence of Asti's parents. But after a long wait, Anom did not reveal the trunk of his nose. Guests, relatives and families especially Asti began to look panicked. Even one of them took the initiative to go pick up Anom. But they returned empty-handed because Anom was not home.

At that time one of the relatives reported that Anom was married to another woman. Asti's heart was broken, both his parents were ashamed. Without wasting time Asti was determined to go to the house of the woman who had stolen her future husband was still with the white kebaya she wore.

When he arrived in front of Ria's house, the marriage contract had just been completed. And that made Asti cry. Asti hopes to thwart Anom's marriage to Ria, but unfortunately it's too late.

On Asti's doorstep saw Anom and Ria standing side by side while smiling happily. Both of them seemed enthusiastic to receive congratulations from the invited guests. Asti ventured closer to Anom and Ria to make everyone frown to see her. How not. Asti and Ria wore a set of kebaya plus a batik array on the bottom of the same motif, color and shape.

Seeing the presence of Asti makes Anom uncomfortable. He seems misbehaved and tries to avoid Asti. Anom did not expect that Asti would come at his wedding with Ria. There was no sound that Asti made. He just stared hatefully at Anom and Ria.

“ Why, what's my fault until you treat me rich gini..?” asti asked in a soft voice.

“ You are not wrong Asti, consider it fate. We are not meant to be married and be married. So I beg you...,” Anom's speech was interrupted.

“ I don't want to hear Anom. You promised to marry me today. But why did you disbelieve and instead marry her..?!” asti asked while pointing at Ria who was standing beside Anom.

“ I'm Sorry Asti. That was because...,” again Anom's speech was interrupted because Ria uttered a painful sentence to Asti.

“ I'm pregnant with Anom's son. So he has to take responsibility, right..?” ria asked while looking meaningfully at Asti.

Asti was surprised and looked in disbelief at Anom who looked down on his face. Asti believes there is a mistake, but seeing Anom's attitude that does not dare to speak makes Asti realize that Anom's love for her has been a lie. Asti turned her body and left Ria's house accompanied by the unfriendly gazes of the guests.

Asti remains strong and does not cry when she knows her love is betrayed. But Asti's defense collapsed when he saw his mother was rushed to the Hospital due to shock and could not bear the shame because he was unable to get married.

Asti ran after the ambulance that took her mother to the Hospital. Asti's face was swollen and filled with tears because it was sad to imagine the state of his mother. Because his eyes are covered with tears make Asti's view blurred and unfocused so as not to see the vehicle passing in front of him. When going to cross the road Asti was hit by an iron carrier truck that drove at high speed. Asti's body was dragged dozens of meters on the paved road to make the body and head of the right part destroyed. Not to mention the two pieces of iron that floated down and stuck right in the eyes and cheeks of Asti until it penetrated into his back head.

Residents who try to help Asti can do nothing when they see the critical condition of Asti. A moment later Asti died in a terrible state. Asti's spirit floated briefly above his body then slowly left his body and ventured to demand revenge someday.

Faiq let out a long sigh as he learned the cause of Asti's death.

“ You are not the only victim. There are still other women who were victims of Anom's lies long before he met you or his current wife.” Faiq said.

“ I do not care how many victims lie Anom..” said Asti ghost.

“ You took revenge on the wrong person. You should have met Anom instead of him.” Faiq said.

“ His accuracy he will follow Anom to the Police station..,” said Fatur.

“ Yes. But I'll take care of Rafi first Om. I will help him so that he can return calmly to the day of Allah.” said Faiq.

“ Om agree. Yuk Kita to the Hospital now..,” invite Fatur who is owned by Faiq.

\=====

Marlia still closed her eyes because she was so enjoying the whisper of Rafi's voice in her ear. Marlia refused

open her eyes in fear of losing the voice of the child she longed for.

Ever since Anom took her elsewhere, Marlia has changed since then. Although living with Anom, Marlia's little heart always refused to be with Anom until she no longer served as a wife. And that made Anom**la until he was in love with many women to satisfy his desires.

Marlia does not care about Anom's affair with many women. The spirit of Marlia's life seemed to die with Rafi's death. Marlia is convinced that Rafi has died given the wounds Rafi suffered first.

And when Marlia heard Rafi's voice which she believed to be a ghost it made Marlia happy to shed tears. Therefore Marlia chose to pretend to faint so that she could continue to hear Rafi's voice saying many things to her.

Suddenly doctors Adi, Heru, Faiq and Fatur entered the room where Marlia was being treated. A nurse stood behind Adi's doctor to record the diagnosis.

“ How is it doc...?” ask Faiq.

“ Patient is fine Sir. Only he refused to be conscious because he seemed too comfortable with his current condition. It looks like Bu Marlia experienced an event that left her traumatized for a long time and chose to hurt herself in order to die soon.

“ But Bu Marlia can still wake up and recover. Because she was a key witness to the incident involving her husband and son a dozen years ago. Bu Marlia must wake up to reveal the truth in front of the trial later.” Heru said.

“ God willing can Mr. Heru. But Miss Marlia needs someone or something to raise her spirit. Unfortunately I do not know what can make him want to fight to stay alive..,” said Dr. Adi.

Fatur and Faiq stared at each other then nodded. Faiq patted Heru on the shoulder while whispering a sentence that calmed Heru down.

“ Lo calm down. We can ask the ghost of Rafi to wake her mother.” whispered Faiq.

“ Ok Bang. The affair I handahin the same Lo and Om Fatur yes..,” said Heru.

After Adi's doctor and the nurse leave the room, Faiq immediately talks to Rafi's ghost.

“ Rafi heard what the same doctor said Om Police earlier.?” asked Faiq while bowing his body to talk to Rafi's ghost.

“ Yes Om..,” says Rafi's ghost.

“ So Rafi has to wake up Mama to tell the story all the same Police..,” Faiq said again.

“ What will Papa be arrested and imprisoned Om..?” ask Rafi's ghost innocent.

“ Papa must be responsible for injuring Rafi and making Mama Rafi sick. And Papa Rafi too

made a aunt who used white kebaya died. Papa Rafi's mistakes have been many and must be punished. Rafi knows right...?” ask Faiq carefully.

“ Yes Om. Lafi will wake up Mama so she can celita everything..,” said Rafi's ghost steady.

“ Smart child. Can we try it now, right..?” asked Faiq who was possessed by the ghost of Rafi who seemed to float closer to Marlia.

Will Rafi manage to wake Marlia who is already comfortable with her condition now ?.
