"When I was younger, I was almost fooled into becoming a TKW. Luckily, the family, especially your daughter's solace reminds me of the big risk, Nduk."
Pure, tell her story when she was young. He tells the story after Zahra wakes up and gets the handling of a spell called Ryan.
From this, the middle-aged woman started all the stories that might be concerned with a lot of things these days.
"Then, what does this have to do with the death of Flower and his ghost, Mom?" asked Zahra, who was curious to know.
"First, Mother and mother Bunga were two best friends who wanted to go abroad to work."
Bunga and Ryan, listening to the story of the young Pure enthusiastically. Expect to get information or at least have something to do with what makes the flower not calm.

Less than 22 years ago.
"Geez, I yo almost the same, Ms Yu. Ono akeh touts who promise a great salary and a better life abroad. There are a lot of sad stories behind it."
Purely heard the story of his friend, who did not go on to become TKW. He had to compensate the administration for the passport and visa, which he said had already entered the office.
And it's not a little!
"True, many are in debt and are experiencing poor treatment. May our children in the future know how precious youth is and not as gullible as we used to be."
"Again, Ms. Yu. May they learn from our experience and live life more wisely."
Pure again nodded in agreement with the words of his friend. Unfortunately, that time the young Warsih did not care and had already gone along with the scalpers to gain skills at the agency shelter.
They say, TKW candidates must be educated first to be more skilled when they arrive at their destination.
The situation in the shelter is not easy. There are many difficulties and sufferings for women and girls who are already far away from their homes.
There are many who get caught in the trap of dishonest scalpers. They are forced to live an unexpected life as comfort women abroad, even before arriving abroad has been spun by brokers or sold to some striped men!
They do not have much choice or freedom to escape the situation. Shame and fear of disgrace will be known by others, so they are forced to keep this secret for years.
"Remember first, we used to be almost TKW, Ma'am. But somehow, I feel like something's wrong with that scalper."
If those who dared to be determined, could have fled. But they had no other purpose than to return to the village, and get pressure from the brokers in the village.
"Yes, I feel it too. It turns out that she didn't take us as housekeepers, but instead sold us out as comfort women abroad. God, we're stuck in his trap."
"We really don't have a choice, ma'am. I feel so pinched and scared. Can't say anything because of disgrace ..."
"Sama, I also feel trapped. Don't know what to do. We can only keep this secret for this long."
Purely, feeling lucky doesn't exist in such a situation. But, the rice fields and gardens owned by his mother must be willing to be sold to compensate for the fines that must be paid to the scalper, namely pak lurah when he was young, first.
But Murni does not know what happened to Warsih, because Warsih still went abroad without wanting to know the sloping news.
"May there be a way out of all this, Ms. Yu. I don't want my kids to know about a dark youth like this."
"I hope so too. May this past not haunt us continue and we may live better in the future."
Warsih young, never gave news to his parents for more than two years. It was only after nearly three years abroad as a TKW that she came home and accepted the proposal of someone who became her father Bunga.
And just like the events experienced by Bunga, Warsih also does not allow anyone else to investigate or any action to unravel the mystery of her husband's death!

"So, Mr Lek was suicidal?" asked Zahra in shock.
"I've heard of Bunga's father, faltering. But, I was a kid so I didn't know what "stiff" meant."
Ryan chimed in on Zahra's question, which his mother took in.
"Yes, his father Flower hanged himself. Their home is adem ayem. Ora knows Mom, the crunchies or the horror they're bickering."
Zahra felt this was strange. What was the reason his father Bunga committed suicide, if the price was okay?
"Then, my father died of illness. Isn't that right, Mom?" ask Zahra to make sure.
The girl is like anxious, if the fate of her father is the same as the fate of her father Bunga!
"Yes. Your father had high blood pressure, and he had just had a cup of coffee. Your dad hasn't had coffee in a long time, but somehow that night was a melt, and he forgot to drink."
"Did dad die on the spot? I mean, at the house of the man who was doing it?" zahra asked impatiently wanting to get an answer soon.
"No. Your father came home as soon as he felt bad. Two days later, your father died."
Ryan, who was listening to the story of Bunga and Zahra's father, was silent. But not with his mind.
The young man was thinking about something, which was likely or related to the deaths of the two men. It was because he remembered, if the time of death of the two was not long.
Probably only about 2 weeks after his father Zahra died, after his father Bunga was found hanged himself in the garden.
'Did anyone kill them indirectly? I feel this is awkward even though the reason for Zahra's father's death is ill.'
Ryan, thinking to himself the riddle he just knew. But since he hesitated to ask more, he would do his investigation slowly.
"How's Radit doing?" asked Zahra, the game had never met the young man since he was sick and was always at home.
"I haven't met him yet. I had a plan to ask you to meet him. But instead you are in the unhealthy," said Ryan answered the question.
"Mom" call Zahra, because her mother is silent.
"Eh, emhhh .. that, sorry. Mom kicked him out, when it came and you were sick."
"What's? Then, after that he never came again? That means it was three days ago?"
Zahra asked in a row. The girl was afraid that something would happen to Radit, just as she had seen it when she was unconscious.
"Ryan, we're looking for Radit. Now!" take the girl, then stand up.
"Where?" ryan was confused.
"Zahra, stay home!" his mother insisted, not giving permission.
"Radit's in danger, ma'am!"
