Hey Indigo Girl (The Series) TAMAAAAAT!!!!
25. Keisha's death puzzle

Aretha was curious about the backyard after her chat this afternoon with Mr. Slamet and Ratno. He was surprised how there could be a human buried in the backyard. There are many public funerals out there. As a result, he also wanted to see where Keisha's tomb was located, and about the existence of the banyan tree behind, it felt like making Aretha have to prepare with all the possibilities that will happen later.

Mr. Ibrahim's house does not have a fence around. Although the house is large and outside, there are only ornamental trees that are used as a barrier to the yard of the house with the outside area. So once Areta reached the backyard of the house, she could immediately see the surrounding conditions more broadly. The backyard is broad like the front page that is commonly seen so far. The existence of two banyan trees on the right and left, and from where Aretha was standing now, he could immediately see the existence of a tomb with a tombstone located in the middle, which was located in the middle, between the two banyan trees.

There are not many other plants like those on the front page. Only two banyan trees are striking with boxwood ornamental plants that are used as a perimeter fence around the yard. Boxwood plants are shaped like a rectangular fence. Actually the house does not need a high wall fence because no intruders will enter the yard of the house. Either the livestock that arrived to damage or pollute the yard, or a child who idly stepped on the plant. Mr. Ibrahim's house was far from other neighbors. There is only a tea garden around.

"Hem, adem is also here. Cool, and calm," murmured Aretha as she continued walking towards Keisha's grave.

The wind blew on Aretha's body and face and made her love it. This afternoon, he had deliberately walked in the backyard because he had never come to the place at all. Apparently the scenery in that place was also beautiful, especially when he saw there was a long chair-shaped swing that led to the tea garden behind the house.

Aretha reached Keisha's tomb. The tomb is like a tomb in general that he often saw so far. There is even a long name, date of birth and date of death.

"2018? That means Keisha's been dead for 5 years, yeah."

Aretha then lowered her head while offering a prayer for Keisha. He also closed his eyes, because of his habit during prayer. Suddenly his palm was touched. Of course he instantly reopened his eyes, and before him was now the figure of a child who was looking at him expressionlessly. That kid, is the kid who bullied him last night. The boy was a figure he knew by the name of Keisha. The figure whose body was lying underneath.

"Keisha's? You're Keisha, right?" ask Aretha.

But the little boy answered nothing. Just keep holding Areta's hand. Suddenly a shadow flashed through his mind. The shadow is just a silhouette. A little boy was playing around in a room. Suddenly, someone opened the door of the room. In an instant there was a struggle, and suddenly the figure of the little boy fell from a balcony.

Aretha immediately opened her eyes, and no longer found the existence of Keisha clearly before her.

"Keisha! Keisha!" aretha's screams continued to call out to the little girl while sweeping a glance around.

But around him seemed lonely, there was no one else or figure. Keisha disappeared after showing the shadow earlier.

"What was that? What was the incident when Keisha died? Didn't she say she was sick, huh?" ask Aretha to speak for herself. "Well, that's not right!" he said he immediately walked back into the house.

"Sir Slamet! Mr Slamet! Sir!" Aretha kept calling out Mr. Slamet's name. He entered through a back door that was directly connected to the kitchen. There was only Bu Jum doing the dishes. Bu Jum immediately turned his head as soon as Aretha entered, especially when he heard that her master was constantly calling her husband's name.

"What's up, Ma'am?" bu Jum asked while wiping her wet hands onto her long skirt.

"Sir Slamet where, Mom?" ask Aretha.

"Sir Slamet ahead, Ma'am. What's the matter, Aretha's sister?" tanya Bu Jum looked at Aretha confused.

"Eh, yes, Mom. Keisha died why, huh?" ask Aretha arrived.

Bu Jum frowned at Aretha's question. "Why is it that Aretha asked like it had arrived?" ask Bu Jum.

"What's up, Mom. Just want to know. I just saw Keisha's grave in the back of the house. So curious."

"Oh so. Keisha died from falling off the balcony, Ma'am."

Aretha glared when she heard Bu Jum say that. As far as Aretha knew, Keisha died of illness. That's what he heard before. But Bu Jum's reply seemed to justify the shadow that Aretha had seen while in the tomb.

"Fall down? From the balcony of the upper room?" aretha asked while pointing at the location of the room.

"Yes, Mother. So Keisha has asthma. And at that time he was again on the balcony of the room, playing above as usual. Suddenly his asthma relapsed. When I entered the room, he was already on the side of the balcony and fell. That's the story, Mother."

Aretha silence. The story told by Bu Jum was indeed similar to the shadow he had just seen. But the difference is only one. Cause of death Keisha. Because Aretha clearly saw that Keisha was being pushed by someone. Not falling by yourself. It was just that Aretha could not confirm who the person who pushed Keisha who appeared in the shadow she saw earlier.

'Is it possible, Ma'am Jum, yes?' ask Aretha inwardly.

"Mr? Aretha Maam? Why?" ma'am Jum asked as Aretha kept quiet.

"Eh, eng—no, ma'am. Just another shadow, a pity for Keisha. Wasn't she taken to the hospital?"

"Already, Ma'am. As soon as Keisha fell, I immediately contacted Mr. Ibrahim. Then they'll be home soon. Even though he had to wait a few hours until Mr. Ibrahim got home. So after Mr. Ibrahim came home, Keisha was taken to the hospital."

"God! Why all that time? It should have been taken to the hospital as soon as it happened, Mom," cried Aretha insistent.

"Yes, I know, Ma'am. There are no vehicles at home. No one in the village has a car. Ambulances have been contacted but are being used. So we decided to wait for Mr. Ibrahim."

***

Aretha's thoughts really began to be disturbed by one of the clues that he saw. He is now standing on the balcony of his second floor room. Staring down while imagining the incident that befell Keisha.

While at the place where he stood, Bu Jum and Mr. Slamet walked out of the yard, about to go home because their working hours were up. Shortly after the couple got out of the house, Radit's car came into the yard.

Seeing that her husband had come home, Aretha rushed down to greet Radit who had just returned from the office.

"What are you doing up there? Tumben," said Radit as soon as his wife was in front of him.

"Hem, so I went to the back of the house, didn't I, Dit. Keep me to Keisha's grave."

"Did? Why uh?"

"Currenting aja. Want to know also the situation behind the house is like what."

"Actually the atmosphere is delicious. Cool, cool, and the view is good. There is also a tea garden in the back. It's falling down that way, Dit. Understand no? So the view below is visible."

"Yes, understand, honey. Continues to? You feel at home behind the house?"

"No. Everything was perfect except the tomb. You know for yourself, right, the location of the tomb there actually makes the air around here so bad. Yes, it is only natural that I, us, or the villagers often see Keisha sightings. His grave is in the back. Yes, obviously he'll show up often."

"Hehehe. Ja. When I heard that Keisha was buried in the back of the house too, I was a little uncomfortable. Maybe if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have wanted to live in this house. We better find somewhere else, or I'll stay in another mess, and you'll be home. Don't come here."

"That's it!" aretha protest.

"For your sake, dear. If I had known that the situation in this village was like this, I would not have possibly wanted to invite you to stay here with me. This place is too dangerous. I just don't want anything bad to happen to you" Radit said as he stroked Aretha's head gently.

"I'm fine, Dit. I don't care if we stay here with all the horrors."

"Yes, I understand, honey. Just keep it. If there's a dangerous place like this, I better not pull you into it. We've done a lot of bad things related to the devil, and I don't want you to experience anything bad anymore, Aretha."

"As long as you're always here with me, then whatever bad thing is going to happen, I'm going to face it, Dit. We can deal with this the same."

The two embrace each other. Mutual release of longing and affection that never even faded even though time has passed long enough.

"If anything happens, you tell me right away, yes. Even if I'm in the office, you call me right away, so I'll just go home later."

"Yes, Honey. Sure."

"How are you today? What's going on? Or is it safe?"

"Eum, I was squirming Keisha at the tomb."

"Oh yeah? What's he doing?"

" It looks like he's going to show me how he died, Dit."

"Oh yeah? How did he die, Tha? Didn't he say he died yesterday of illness?"

" i asked Bu Jum because he actually worked here before we lived here. What automatic Bu Jum is cooperation with Mr. Ibrahim and must know how the story about the death of Keisha. Bojo said that Keisha was playing on the balcony of the upper room and suddenly the pain relapsed. It turns out Keisha had asthma since childhood, Dit. Suddenly he was short of breath and when the tip went into the room Keisha was already on the edge of the balcony and suddenly Keisha fell down."

"Well! Seriously you? Keep going?"

"Wait a minute that's Bu Jum's version."

"OK, so you mean there are two versions of Keisha's death story?"

"Well, you could say so. When I was in front of Keisha's grave, she suddenly appeared in front of me. As Keisha held my hand I suddenly saw a shadow flashing by. The incident is almost the same story from Bu Jum earlier. But there's a little difference."

"Okay, I'm still listening."

"The difference is just one. Ma'am Jum said Keisha fell from the upper balcony because of her asthma, but what I saw in the shadow, Keisha fell because she was pushed by someone. I just can't see who it is."

"Well! Push your word? What possible... Ma'am Jum?" tanya Radit whispered while looking around.

" I don't know, Dit, who it is and I don't want to recriminate. Just from the story that was said to be the same as Bu Jung with the incident that Keisha pointed to me, it was indeed some resemblance, right?"

"Well, it's similar and the same from different versions."

"Well, what makes me wonder is the continuation of the story of Bu Jum earlier. Logically If Bu Jum saw Geisha fall from the balcony it would immediately seek help dong. But according to him, Bu Jum had tried to find help just no vehicle that could take Keisha to the hospital at that time and the nearest ambulance was all full. Finally Bu Jum waited for Mr. Ibrahim to come home from his job and it was about a few hours after Keisha fell. I don't think it's more than 5 hours. Because he said after Mr. Ibrahim was given information about the condition of his son he immediately slid back home. While the distance from Pak Ibrahim's workplace to the house is arguably not too far away. But after Mr. Ibrahim came home and took Keisha to the hospital, not long after that Keisha was declared dead because it was too late to get help. How do you think there's something weird about that story?"

"Hem, it needs to be underlined first the main cause of Keisha died is actually what. Is it because of you or because you fell from the balcony."

" bu Jum said according to the doctor who caused Keisha's death it fell from the balcony. He said he had many fatal injuries and that he could not save Keisha's life anymore."

"But if the main cause of death was a fall from the balcony it would have been more absurd" Radit said, staring at the balcony above them.

Even Radit walked to the yard to be able to see the location of the balcony more clearly.

"This is weird, I think. Let's see where the balcony is, honey," point Radit up and down where you think Keisha's position fell. "Any what don't you think? You don't know what I mean by that weird word I said?" ask Radit.

"Yes, the balcony position is the same terrace, right?" ask Aretha back.

"Yes right. Not high, honey. The balcony of the same terrace is at most how many meters high. I don't think I'd be able to get someone killed if they fell from above" Radit explained.

"Well, that's the same thing I thought, Dit. That's a little weird."

"Keep, you think that Bu Jum was involved with Keisha's death? I see, do you?"

"Eitherway. I don't want to recriminate but with the instructions we discussed earlier together It doesn't seem to rule out the possibility that bejung is involved. We're just gonna find out why it was Bu Jum who pushed Keisha off the balcony like I saw."
