The Three Chosen
148. Seeking Raqiya
After learning what Mardiyah was doing behind her husband, Iyaz told Osman what she saw. Surprised and in disbelief it was Osman's expression when he heard it.
“ So what Marwah says is true. But why does Mr. Gusman not believe in Marwah.
“ Maybe there's something else we don't know. Or maybe actually Mr. Gusman already know if his wife was having an affair but pretended not to know.
“ Can be. Or maybe Mr. Gusman and his wife had a previous agreement.” Osman said.
“ My father doesn't know if my mother cheated. He also did not know that my mother had told my sisters to work. I don't know why my father's as cute as ours.” complains of the ghost of Marwah.
“ Patience Yes Marwah. We will still find out about this..” entertain Osman who is possessed by the ghost of Marwah.
“ Mmm..., does your roommate know anything about this..?” ask Iyaz suddenly.
“ You mean Raqiya...?” ask the ghost of Marwah.
“ I don't know what his name is. All I know is that she stayed in your room until you were found dead on your bed.
“ Right. Maybe Raqiya knows something. If you live in a room, there is usually no secret between two women if you already live in a rich room.
“ Mmm..., honestly I forgot how I was with Raqiya. But you can meet him at his Husband's house in the police housing complex.” said the ghost of Marwah.
“ Raqiya's husband is a cop.?” ask Iyaz.
“ Yes. When I stayed in the room with her, Raqiya was already married to Rauf. But because Rauf was assigned to another region for several months, Raqiya decided to host a boarding house because she was comfortable staying at her Husband's official house alone.
“ Really happened. We can ask Raqiya's husband for help to reveal your death case secretly right..” said Iyaz enthusiastically.
“ May. But I'm not sure Raqiya will help me, because as I recall she was so shocked that she miscarried when she found me dead in that room.
“ Kasian Marwah's. During life until death there were not many friends that he had.” said Osman while staring at the empty place where the ghost of Marwah disappeared earlier.
“ We have to move quickly Sir. I'm afraid the ghost of Marwah is revenge in its own way and it must be creepy.” said Iyaz.
“ Ok. We went to Raqiya's house this afternoon.” said Osman, whom Iyaz subscribed to.

Raqiya was watering the plants in her mini flower garden. Her beautiful face is still clearly visible even though she is wearing a wide hijab that covers her head to part of her body. Not far from where stood a young girl also seemed to be engrossed in reading books. Just like Raqiya, the girl who is believed to be Raqiya's daughter also appears to be wearing a hijab even though it is a different style.
From where it stands, the ghost of Marwah gazes full of haru towards Raqiya. Marwah's ghost had arrived first at Raqiya's house when it was known that Iyaz and Osman would visit there. Feeling that he was being watched by someone made Raqiya look to the right and left to make the child ask.
“ Find what Ummi...?” ask Nahilma.
“ Ga find nothing. Ummi only felt there was someone who was looking at Ummi but did not know who it was..,” said Raqiya.
“ Surely we are again watched by Allah dong Ummi..,” Nahilma said with a smile.
“ Bad boy, Ummi also know that. I mean Ummi is rich there are more people who want to know Ummi and Ummi feel familiar with this aura.” Raqiya said while sitting in a chair next to Nahilma.
“ Aura what the hell Ummi, I'm really confused..,” said Nahilma did not understand.
“ This is the aura when Ummi talks to Ummi's friend before he dies.” Raqiya said while looking ahead as if he was remembering Marwah, the roommate he found died on his bed.
Suddenly Raqiya's daydreams broke when there was the sound of two men greeting her.
“ Assalamualaikum..,” say hello to Iyaz and Osman together.
“ Wa alaikumsalam..,” sahut Raqiya and Nahilma together while looking towards the locked iron gate.
“ Sorry, who are you looking for..?” nahilma asked politely as she approached Osman and Iyaz.
“ Introduce My name Osman and this is Iyaz. We want to talk important with Ms. Raqiya, is it okay.?” ask Osman.
“ You guys ready Ummi Me..?” tanya Nahilma was full of search.
“ We are friends of Marwah, Marwah is friends of Ummi You. Isn't it Ms Raqiya..?” tanya Osman raised his voice.
“ Where do you know this house..?” ask Raqiya.
“ Marwah said that you live here. Address of this house We can from wondering the same residents of the house ahead there..,” Osman said.
“ You guys do not joke yes, Marwah was long dead. If you want to cheat it is better to cancel it. My Husband A reliable police officer and can easily throw you guys in jail.” Raqiya said fiercely.
“ But We got this home address from Marwah. This indigo child, he was visited by the ghost of Marwah who requested that his death be revealed and his killer arrested. If you don't believe you can ask this child.” Osman said.
Raqiya stared fixedly at Iyaz. Somehow Raqiya believed when she saw that calm face of Iyaz.
“ But I can't let you in because My Husband hasn't come home.” Raqiya said.
“ Gapapa. We can wait out here until Husband Mother comes home later.” Osman said quickly.
“ Well, it's up to you. Then I go in first..” Raqiya said as she grabbed Nahilma's hand and brought her in.
“ Ummi believe in them. What if they intend evil with Kita..?” ask Nahilma.
“ Telephon Abi now..!” raqiya orders while observing Osman and Iyaz from behind the window curtains.
“ Yes Mi..,” says Nahilma.
Nahilma contacted her father who had arrived at the gate of the housing complex.
“ Abi cepet home yes. There are foreign guests in front of the house..” Nahilma said.
“ Do not open the door until Abi comes Yes Na. Abi has entered the complex, soon until..,” Rauf's message from sebrang telephon.
“ Yes Bi..,” says Nahilma.
A moment later Rauf's car stopped in front of the gate and he got out of the car and greeted Iyaz and Osman.
“ Assalamualaikum, Who are you. What's standing in front of my house..?” ask Rauf pretending not to know.
“ Wa aleikumsalam. Mr. Rauf right..?” ask Osman in doubt.
“ Yes right. Do we ever know each other.?” ask Rauf.
“ Masya Allah, Alhamdulillah. We met several times to discuss the case of Marwah's death. Does Mr Rauf remember...? ask Osman.
“ Death of Marwah, the girl who died in the boarding room was yes.?” ask Rauf.
“ Yes...,” say Osman fast.
“ Of course I still remember. Kan My Wife roommate Marwah..,” said Rauf.
“ So Bu Raqiya Pak Rauf's Wife..?” ask Osman.
“ Yes. But by the way there is need what you are here for.?” ask Rauf.
Osman did not have time to answer when Nahilma suddenly came out of the house and opened the gate.
“ So Abi knows them..?” ask Nahilma.
“ Yes Na. Let them come in and please tell Ummi if they are guests Abi..,” said Rauf.
“ Good Bi. Let's go in...,” Nahilma said with a smile towards Osman and Iyaz.
“ Thank you...,” sahut Osman and Iyaz together.
There was no look of disappointment on the faces of Osman and Iyaz despite having received a hostile response from Raqiya and Nahilma earlier. They are familiar with the condition of Raqiya and Nahilma who are used to being vigilant due to the upbringing of Rauf who is a policeman.
