The Three Chosen
18. Acting Nadia

That night Arya looked agitated. He has a feeling that something bad will happen because since then he always drops whatever object he holds. After putting the dropped item earlier into place

originally, then Arya leaned her body on the back of the bed while closing her eyes.

“ Yes Allah what is this. How rich it feels dejavu. This feeling was exactly as rich as the time leading up to his death

Andini...,” muttered Arya who remembered her late first wife who was Adi's biological mother.

Then Arya grabbed her phone and dialed Nadia's number. Arya intends to ask the news of Nadia and Adi. At that time Arya was carrying out her duties outside the city. It has been two weeks Arya is at that place and the plan is that she will return to Jakarta in the near future.

“ Why not keep active anyway. What is it...,” muttered Arya while throwing her phone over the bed with

annoyed.

It's been two days Nadia can not be contacted and it makes Arya upset. Arya remembers her last conversation with Nadia was when Nadia asked her permission to attend an event in the neighborhood where they lived. Nadia said if there will be recreation with residents. Arya lets Nadia go as long as she takes Adi. There was a debate between Arya and Nadia. It seems Nadia chose to comply with her husband's request

even with an upset feeling.

“ Ck, due to being told to walk Adi streets he even mengambek anyway..,” Arya grumbled while scrambling

her hair thinks Nadia is snatching.

Because tired, Arya finally fell asleep. Arya seems restless in her sleep because she has nightmares. In his sleep Arya saw the late Andini was walking in a beautiful flower garden. Arya was happy to see Andini back healthy and able to walk again.

“ You have healed Andini, thank God I am happy to see her..,” Arya said with a smile.

Andini did not answer. He just nodded his head with a smile as if asserting Arya's statement

earlier. A moment later Arya saw Adi running small towards them. Arya stretched out her hands to welcome Adi into her arms. But unfortunately Adi ignored him and chose to scatter towards Andini and hugged him tightly. Andini also returned Adi's embrace and carried her. Happiness is clearly visible on Andini's face because she can hold her child again. Andini also kissed Adi's face with love.

“ Adi ga kangen same Papa yes, kok ga want to be carried with Papa..?” tanya Arya pretended to sulk.

Adi laughs at Arya's question then advances her body to kiss Arya's cheek.

“ I miss Papa, I love Papa too. But now I want to come with Mama first. Daaahs... Papa...” said Adi as he waved his hand in Andini's sling.

Slowly Andini and Adi's body away and further away and just vanished leaving Arya a

selves. Arya called Adi's name repeatedly but there was no truth, only the echo of his voice that he heard and made his hair bristling. Then Arya ran to and fro looking for her child until she woke up with a body and face soaked with sweat.

“ Adi..!” call Arya while opening her eyes.

Sepi no sahutan. Arya rubbed her sweaty face with her palm while trying

he reached for a bottle of mineral water that he placed near his head. Then Arya sipped the water slowly.

“ Weird dreams. What does it mean yes..?” arya asked as she glanced at the curtains of the room window that seemed to move to the right and to the left.

Arya stared at the curtains of the room window that moved faster as if there was a small hand trying to open

the curtain. Out of curiosity Arya approached the window and pulled the window curtains. Arya was surprised to find a small, disembodied hand behind the curtains. The small hand with dry skin peeling off like the lack of blood was disappearing rapidly as Arya screamed stifled so surprised.

“ Apaan anyway, sudden time there is a ghost hand. It's been more than a week here and nothing has happened

home even given a strange look.” Arya grumbled while tidying the window curtains and intend to close it.

But outside the window Arya saw a shadow of a little boy who ran to and fro. Be reused

Arya wanted to ignore it but when she saw the shirt the little boy wore was similar to his shirt, Arya also remembered her son. Almarhumah Andini does prepare Arya and Adi clothes with the same motif and color to indicate if they are father and son. And Arya again muttered her son's name for the umpteenth time when she saw the shadow of the little boy passing again in front of the window of her room.

“ Adi..?” arya muttered while sharpening her eyesight.

As if hearing Arya's call, the little boy stopped running with his back to Arya. Slowly child

the little one turned his head towards Arya who was a little uncomfortable because he saw the head turning 180 degrees while his body remained facing forward.

Arya looked in shock when she saw the face of the little boy. In addition to pale, the child's facial skin looks dry and peeling with white eyeballs. His smile expanded revealing a row of white teeth. If you pay close attention to the face of the child is similar to his son Adi.

Arya screamed stifled until she woke up from her sleeping position. Apparently Arya just had a dream inside

dreamlike. Arya stared at the corner of the room and stopped at the window curtain of the room. Arya rushed up to the window and brushed the curtains violently. There's nothing out there. There were only trees and a blackened night sky. Slowly Arya closed the bedroom window curtains and then lay back on the bed. It is certain that Arya can no longer close her eyes because she remembered her two dreams that seemed to carry a message for her.

While in Jakarta, Nadia was dancing happily at one of the parties held in a luxury apartment. Nadia seems happy because she is no longer bothered with Adi's whining. Since Adi was declared missing, Nadia felt the burden of her life was lost instantly.

Nadia does not know if Adi left behind on the island. Nadia pretends to be busy talking to the residents as the ship starts to leave the island and Nadia stays that way until getting into the bus. Nadia pretends to be conscious upon arriving home and her housekeeper asks for Adi's whereabouts.

“ Lho Adinya where Bu, kok ga looking..?” ask the housekeeper named Hani while looking to the right and left looking for Adi's whereabouts.

“ Instead of Adi already until home, will the bus time until the children immediately run back to their respective homes earlier..,” said Nadia origin.

“ But Adi hasn't come home yet Bu..” said Hani panicked.

“ Don't joke ya Han, I'm tired of it..!” nadia was angry.

“ I'm not kidding Mom, but Adi emang not yet until home kok..,” said Hani almost cried.

Hearing Hani's answer made Nadia rush out to meet the group's committee who are still gathered in the RW secretariat office.

“ How to go back again Miss Nadia, someone missed ya..?” ask the RW chairman.

“ Yes Sir. My son Adi ga is at home.” said Nadia.

“ What does it mean Mom..?” ask the chairman Rw doesn't understand.

“ Kaya Adi missed on the island Mr...” said Nadia almost cried.

“ What...?!” ask the RW chairman and other officials.

“ Calm down first Miss Nadia, try to find slowly yes. Mr. Dasrul please contact the island manager and ask if there is Adi ga there..,” said the RW chairman.

“ Well Mr...,” sahut Dasrul then contact one of the island managers.

The next day Nadia started looking for Adi to various places. He asked all the people in the neighborhood

her house. At that time Nadia looked calm as if she knew where Adi was. Until Nadia accidentally met her friend who invited Nadia to attend her birthday party at her apartment this afternoon. Nadia seemed to welcome the invitation of her girlfriend.

That afternoon Nadia went to attend the invitation of the friend's party. Hani seemed to frown when she saw Nadia leaving.

“ Say want to nyari Adi, but kok wear clothes rich people want to ngedugem that..,” muttered Hani did not like while

door closing.

It was accidentally Hani saw Adi standing in front of the fence while staring at him. Thinking Adi came home, Hani immediately ran towards the gate until accidentally hit Nadia who was waiting for a Taxi in front of the house.

“ What the heck pake run-run everything..?!” nadia was angry.

“ Sorry Mom, I saw Adi here earlier Bu...,” said Hani.

“ Adi, Adi. There's no Adi here. Don't embarrass you..!” nadia Bengpak.

“ But I saw Adi standing here earlier Mom. He wore the last shirt I pekein that Bu..,” said Hani insisted.

“ Ngeyel really You. I'm going in there, I'm going to Adi now..!” nadia said as she went inside

Taxiing.

“ Good Bu...,” said Hani while locking the gate.

Hani still stands observing the road in front of her employer's house hoping to see Adi there. But after a while did not also find Adi, Hani decided to enter the house.

“ Time I was wrong people anyway. Sure that was Adi. But I'm not squirming yes, do not-don't I'm the wrong look..,” muttered Hani while locking the door of the house.

After knowing Adi's identity, the police came to Arya's residence where Adi lived all this time. That moment

along with Arya who just got off the Taxi right in front of her house. Seeing that there were two policemen on the doorstep of his house made Arya surprised and rushed to greet them. Nadia who saw the arrival of Arya also seemed to smile.

“ That's My Husband Sir..” Nadia said as she pointed at Adi.

“ Assalamualaikum, what's the matter Nad.?” asked Arya to make the two policemen look at her.

“ Wa aleikumsalam. Ga tau Ar, Mr. Police just arrived too.” said Nadia while kissing the back of Arya's hand.

“ Good afternoon Sir, We are here to pick up Mr. Arya and Wife.

“ Good afternoon, I'm Arya. Sorry, but what's wrong, sir..?” arya started to panic.

The two policemen stared at each other for a moment as if hesitant to tell the truth.

“ Your Child named Adrian Pramana is in the Hospital and We ask Father and Mother to come with Us to the office now.” said one of the police firmly.

“ Je, body...?” arya asked with a trembling voice.

“ Yes Sir, please..” said the police while pointing at the police patrol car parked in front of the house.

“ Tu, wait. Adrian Pramana, what does it mean sir. Nad, what's going on. Where's Adi..?” arya asked nervously.

Instead of answering her husband's question, Nadia instead cried while covering her face with a palm. Of course, it makes Arya more panicked. He was busy calming Nadia while the two policemen in front of them looked calm and not disturbed by Nadia's acting.

“ Should Father and Mother come with Us now.”, said one of the police again while staring fixedly in the direction.

Arya and Nadia.

“ Can take a minute, sir. I just got home and didn't know anything. What is this exactly..?” ask

Arya with angry tone.

“ All will be explained later in the Police station. Please...,” said the two policemen while holding Arya's arm

and Nadia.

Arya had to follow the police. After putting the suitcase inside the house, Arya and Nadia enter

into the police patrol car. Accompanied by the confused gazes of the neighbors, the police patrol car drove at a moderate speed and left a crowd of residents in front of Arya's house.

There was no talk in the car as Arya was still busy calming down the crying Nadia. Until the car arrives at the police station, Arya and Nadia are brought into the room. There Arya and Nadia heard firsthand the reason for their summoning.

Arya is shocked to hear that her son was found dead in a boat on one of the islands

Thousand Islands.

“ I'm not sure it's My Son Sir. Nadia, tell the police that Adi is home now and Adi is fine

aja...” said Arya while shaking Nadia's hand.

“ Sorry I'm Ar. Adi is not at home, he has not returned home since a week ago.” said Nadia while.

bowing head.

“ You mean Adi is missing..?” ask Arya not to believe it.

“ Yes...,” said Nadia while nodding her head.

“ How did you not tell me..?” ask Arya again.

“ I don't want to make you anxious Ar. But I've reported to the Police if Adi is missing.” said Nadia while crying.

Arya breaks the table and almost hits Nadia if the police do not immediately block her intentions. Arya screamed calling her son's name. He did not expect that his nightmare was a sign that he would lose his only son forever.
