The body of the tenter was finally lifted from the yard of his family's house Alka after the rain had subsided, the tent was hollow because of lightning and also the pole that had been charred, became a witness, as well, what a terrible death that the tenter had suffered.
“Why can this be Sir?”
The owner of the tent business has come to the Alka family home, while the body will be returned to his family home by an ambulance.
“I told you not to clean the tent when it was raining, but he insisted, even though he could not start cleaning the tent, but he still cleaned the plastic stool, we've kept banning him, but he's forcing.” His father Alka explained everything.
“He is so, do not like to postpone work, but is it not strange, the tent where he was exposed to it, there is still a roof from the master's house that covers, the pole, the, right at the end of the canopy of the house Sir, only after the pole, the tent is not covered canopy home.”
“Iya indeed Sir.” His father Alka has not been able to capture what is meant by the owner of the tent business.
“As far as I know, the lightning is straight, there is no way he is in the direction of his ambush to slant or tilt.”
“Iya anyway.”
“Then why the person under the pole, whose roof is still there is the rest of the canopy, can be struck, the canopy is utus, means the pertirnya snatching attacking, such as ..”.
“What's it like Sir?” his foster father Alka asked.
“Such as deliberately targeting my exchange.”
“Ah Sir, not so, do not talk that no-no Sir, I also grieve, this disaster happened in my house, I will be responsible sir, sir, I will give my family compensation as a form of accountability for us.
Although this was actually an accident, no one wanted this to happen, but the handyman was wretched in my house and was doing work in this house, so his family was entitled to my responsibility. One more thing, the perforated tent that I will also replace, sir, the pole also seems to be unusable because of gosong.”
“Yes sir, thank you in advance, about the tent and pole, no need sir, we are both in a calamity.”
“But it's okay, I sincerely change the tent and the pole.”
“Alright if you insist, I thank you very much yes, hopefully this disaster never happens again to anyone.”
“Amin Sir, amen.”
Then the tent businessman came home after being invited to eat by his adoptive father Alka, after being quiet, only a few house servants left who cleaned up the remnants of dishes and glasses, as well as glasses, his father and adoptive mother Alka went to Alka's room, and Alka fell asleep in her room.
“Sleep Sir, we don't disturb.”
“Iya Bu.”
The two of them decided to go to the room and talk about everything.
“Pak, Mom wants a story.”
“What story?”
“Soal Alka, I was staying Alka for a while to beberes, she was also cool to open a gift, but not long later, I heard the voice of Alka's cry, Alka, I went straight into her room and saw her fall under an open window.”
“Gosh! my son fell?”
“Iya Sir, she fell while holding her neck.”
“Why neck?”
“He saw the charred man outside the window, his hands translucent and strangling his neck until I came, the charred man was gone he said.”
“Ah it's just a vision that can be a lie, Alka is still a child, she could have just misbehaved.”
“I also want to think so Sir, but ..”
“But what?” ask her father Alka.
“But I couldn't help but believe it, because when I came in, I smelled a charred smell from that room, the whole house smelled a bad smell, one more, I saw Alka's neck flushed like, I'm like, I'm looking at her neck, a very strong giggle.”bekas
“Bu, you might also be surprised to see the lightning struck handyman, so all your five senses could be traumatized and end up seeing and hearing wrong.”
“If I could be that sure, sir, but I really feel that charred man Sir.”
“Bu, it's enough first yes, Alka's a good boy and he can definitely deal with it, we also keep protecting him right, because there are heavier problems than that.”
“Loh, problem? what is Sir?” ask mother.
“The pole, which was struck first, should still be protected by the canopy, because the pole was just below the canopy and the pole was struck, should the lightning come from just above the canopy, but , the canopy is fine, there are no marks struck like blackened, I have seen for myself.
Actually this I also only realized after the tent entrepreneur looked carefully and saw something strange he asked me.”
“Oh so, then why is it a heavier problem?” his mother asked again.
“Gosh Pak.”
“I'm afraid Mom, if there will be people who start scoffing at our family because Alka's birthday takes its toll.”
“Pak, already do not think too much, now all you have to do is protect Alka Pak, the rest let God aturkan.”
“That's precisely Ma'am, I'm afraid that later Alka will suffer because of the talking people.”
“That's enough sir, you and I need rest yes, so sleep lah.”
Alka's adoptive parents fell asleep, after which they no longer argued.
Around one night, Alka woke up, she was thirsty and hungry, indeed from the event Alka did not eat too much and drink.
“Alka came out, it turned out the house was dark, she looked into the ceiling, no one, she did not want to wake anyone just because of thirst and hunger, in the kitchen there must be leftover cake and Alka can eat there while drinking.
When it reached the kitchen, Alka turned on the kitchen mix, when the lights were on, Alka smelled a charred smell, a little afraid, but hungry more mastered it.
Alka walked slowly to the inside of the kitchen so as not to cause noise, she looked for leftovers on the dining table that was in the kitchen.
Alka opened the scarlet hood with her small hands, because the dining table was so big, Alka had to get on the table to grab the head of the food hood and pull up so Alka could see what food she could eat.
When the hood of the saji opened completely, Alka shouted, a deafening cry, as Alka shouted, suddenly the whole house woke up, her mother's father immediately ran from the room and into the kitchen, and she went to the kitchen, the direction of the voice they were sure to hear earlier.
“Alka darling!” His father shouted, because he saw his most beloved toddler had fallen flat on the bottom, while the dining bench fell lying with the position of the backrest on the floor.
“Why Nak? why?” His father immediately carried his adopted daughter.
“Tadi ... earlier .. Alka saw there was a charred head on a plate inside the serving hood Dad!” Alka shouted and cried saying that.
“Alka! take a look at the dining table.” His father forced Alka to look again in a direction she would never want to see again.
“No want! don't want!” Alka screamed and buried her face in the shoulder of the adoptive father while her mother continued to rub Alka's back, as a form of moral support.
“On the dining table there is food all Alka's favorite, Father and Mother have prepared a cake that Alka likes, there is no charred head there Nak, so look again yes,” his father persuaded.
Alka was devastated because everyone encouraged her to be brave, finally he decided to turn around and look towards the dining table which made him fall down earlier on seeing the charred head that was lodged on the dining table.
There was no charred head on the plate earlier, now there was a typical snack cake of the village, the food he liked like like fried chicken and others were also there.
“And I've said, if you want to go anywhere, even just to the bathroom, Alka must be with me, then why now you even go to the kitchen yourself Nak?” ask mother.
“I felt sorry for Mom, Dad and Mom, you all must be tired, I stood there smiling and exhausted, let alone you. Therefore, I decided to be independent by preparing whatever I wanted myself. So I went to the kitchen and saw it.
“Ok yaudah, all sleeping again yes, sorry yes already make you all surprised, Alka also need rest.” Her mother took Alka from her father's hand and carried her to the room.
As soon as her room Alka continued to hug her mother, she was terrified, her body was trembling and cold sweat came out.
“What are you afraid of, son? I'm here kok.” His mother hugged Alka tightly.
“I'm afraid she'll show up again, so I'll hug mom. Don't leave this room, ma'am, even though I'm asleep.” Alka pleaded.
“Yes my dear, I promise I will not stay with this good and great child of mother, you sleep, we both need rest Nak.”
“But Mom, I actually saw that head, then the person outside that window who was gosong, I didn't make it up.”
“Alka beautiful Mother, you better sleep now, you are already very tired it dear.”
His mother pulled Alka's blanket and covered the bodies of the two of them with it.
“Still yes Ma'am, already want Temenin Alka here,” Alka says.
“Yes son, you sleep yes, Mother accompany until the morning Nak, you will never feel lonely, alone or afraid again, because you have us Son, we will do anything for you, you will never feel alone, alone or afraid again, including protecting you from anything.”
Alka was asleep as it turned out, her mother hugged the child and enveloped them both, she did not want her child to be scared anymore, she would accompany this child until she became a great child.
That was what his adoptive parents Alka thought.
But they do not know that Alka was not born to be happy.
