The Three Chosen
26. The Ghost Hunting Team ?

Faiq was still observing Hanako, Iyaz and Izar who were talking about the ghost they had met earlier. Shera, who was sitting next to Faiq, patted her arm when she saw her husband as a loyal listener.

“ Do you want to help them..?” ask Shera.

“ Mau...,” says Faiq with a smile.

“ Then why did it happen..?” ask Shera again.

“ I again wriggled the way they discussed what they saw earlier. Bun Exclamation. They say it's rich

again chewing gum, dime and simple. There are big things they have to face later. If it is compared to me first, it is far away Bun. I have to wait for Papa to come home or meet Om Fatur to be able to tell everything. Because I may not have told Mama or Eliya. I'm not possible

make Mama worry and Eliya, don't ask her how she reacts if I tell her. He has not started to scream first and make Mama panic.” said Faiq while laughing reminiscing about his childhood.

“ Surely you are very depressed because you have to nyimpen everything yourself Yes Well..,” said Shera while hugging

Faiq.

“ At first it was, but long ago I was getting used to Bun. My childhood was not sad. I am happy with

my own way and it was fun...,” said Faiq as he rubbed Shera's back gently.

“ Yes, I believe kok...,” said Shera with a smile that is carried by Faiq.

Then Faiq and Shera went back to listening to Hanako, Iyaz and Izar.

“ But there is no SD Dewantara around here Ci. Surely he was wrong place deh...,” said Iyaz.

Erik who heard the words of Iyaz also explained about the school in question to his three grandchildren.

“ There used to be SD Dewantara near the traditional market there Nak. But it has been dismantled and made shophouse, wrong

the only one is the shophouse where you bought seblak earlier.” said Erik while smoking his cigarette.

Hanako, Iyaz and Izar stared at each other as if finding the answer to their question earlier.

“ When was the school dismantled Opa..?” ask Izar.

“ Was a long time ago, before you were born kanya..,” said Erik.

“ Difficult dong sonorous. I've only fourteen years now.” said Hanako resigned.

“ Emang You guys are looking for who the hell..?” ask Faiq pretending not to know.

Hanako, Iyaz and Izar smiled happily upon hearing Faiq's question. They're fighting to tell

their meeting with the ghost of the pink-clad woman to Faiq.

“ Stop. One-on-one dong...,” protested Faiq while expanding both of his palms in front of Hanako, Iyaz and Izar.

They smiled in shame. Later Hanako represented her two cousins to tell stories.

“ He asks the same help We make help nyari Son whose name is Lilian it Well..,” said Iyaz who is possessed.

Izar and Hanako.

“ Continue..?” ask Faiq.

“ When I told him to self-find he did not want, eh don't know even ask for help with us, is it Zar..?” ask

Hanako's.

“ Yes, pantesan he asked for help with us. The school does not exist. That means it will be difficult dong sonnyinya..,” said Izar while patting his forehead.

Everyone in the room laughed at Izar's funny behavior.

“ God willing We ask the same Om Hendro later yes. He is an alumnus of SD Dewantara..,” said Faiq tried to calm Hanako, Iyaz and Izar.

“ Yeeyy..., thanks Well, thanks Pa...,” says Iyaz, Izar and Hanako together while cheering happily.

“ Equally....,” says Faiq with a smile.

\=====

As promised, Faiq contacted Hendro to inquire about the little boy named Lilian. And

they talk about it during the break.

“ Lillian yes, the richness I once dreaded deh..,” said Hendro while tapping the table with his index finger as if

I remember a little girl named Lilian.

“ Must have been Hen. If it's not wrong The child has been excited in his time kok..,” said Faiq.

“ Hoop in time. Seinget I'm of the class I don't have a Lilian, but if I have a Class Brother

Iq...,” said Hendro.

“ Well, maybe Lilian that one..,” said Faiq enthusiastically.

“ Mmm, if that Lilian I really doubt yes Iq...,” said Hendro while scratching his non-itchy nape.

“ Why is it..?” ask Faiq curiously.

“ He was famous not because of his achievements or because of his physique Iq, but because of his mother who g*la.

Faiq gasped in surprise. He tried to relate the story that circulated to what Hanako, Iyaz and Izar saw.

Plus the information from Hendro made Faiq start to understand. Then Faiq touched Hendro's shoulder to trace Hendro's memory of the little Lilian he knew.

Faiq saw the figure of a little girl standing in front of the gate of SD Dewantara. Her face was beautiful, her skin was clean,

but the uniform is worn a little shabby and tangled plus his hair is a little messy like it has not been combed. The little girl looked over as her name was called.

“ Lilian..!” call a woman who is the mother of Lilian named Nihana.

“ Mom..!” sahut Lilian hugged the mother.

Lilian and Nihana seemed to embrace tightly as if they had not seen each other for a long time. Even though it was school time

but Lilian stayed there because she wanted to meet her mother.

Apparently Lilian and her mother no longer live together because Lilian's parents are in the process

divorces. Lilian lived with her father Marco until his parents were declared divorced by the court. And it was during that time that Lilian had to lose her mother's affection.

“ Lilies with Mom. Lili wants to join Mama aja..,” Lilian whine.

“ Mama also miss Lili, but Lili ga may come with Mama. Later Papa more angry and we can not see you again..,” said Nihana sad.

Suddenly there was a voice of a man calling to Lilian. His thunderous voice not only shocked Lilian and Nihana, but also all the students who were at that time in the school area.

“ Lillian, here you are.!” call Marco with a dead red face holding back the anger.

lillian drew near and pulled from Nihana's embrace violently to make Lilian cry.

“ Don't be rude Marco, he's still small..!” nihana was angry.

“ Is none of your business. He's my son, so it's up to me to take care of him.” said Marco ketus while putting Lilian's body into the car by force.

Nihana growled angrily at the sight of Lilian crying. Moreover see how Marco ‘soothes’ Lilian by the way

inhumane. Nihana came forward and pulled Marco's arm until the two were involved in a violent quarrel that caused a commotion and forced the Headmaster out to injure them.

“ Solve Father Mother's business outside, not here. Are you ashamed to be seen with the kids. Try looking at

around You..!” said the Headmaster loudly.

Marco and Nihana fell silent and looked around them and saw the students of SD Dewantara staring in confusion at them. Marco cleared his throat to neutralize his anger and apologized to the Headmaster.

“ Forgive Me Mom, I'm sorry first..,” Marco said.

“ Well, but I want an incident like this not to be repeated again yes Mr. Marco..,” said the principal with

stern and impeccable Marco.

Before getting into the car Marco again threatened Nihana.

“ Don't see Lilian again, or you know the consequences..,” Marco said as he stared intently at Nihana.

Nihana fell silent and was only able to cry. His heart was sad when separated from his only daughter. Nihana stared at Lilian's departure with a devastated feeling.

Since that incident Nihana has never been seen again in SD Dewantara. Lilian was still waiting for her mother on the spot

same thing every time I go home from school. And if tired of waiting, then Lilian will go home on foot to her father's house.

Without Lilian knowing, Nihana faithfully came to see him from a distance. From Nihana's hiding place

crying looking at her little daughter. And Nihana always accompanied Lilian from a distance as Lilian stepped home to enter Marco's house. Nihana did so in silence, without sound and never caught sight of. It was always that way until her divorce was confirmed by the court.

Faiq let out a long sigh as he pulled his hand from Hendro's shoulder.

“ How Iq, what is Lilian that Kids are looking for.?” ask Hendro.

“ Heels that's Hen. The aura that the Children carried during the story about the female ghost was exactly the same

aura Mama Lilian..,” sahut Faiq.

“ Continue..?” asked Hendro curious.

“ As always, I'm the same Om Fatur will start them again. And Lo has to go with Hen, because Lo knows the same

Lilian..,” sahut Faiq.

“ Insya Allah I am ready..” said Hendro steady to make Faiq smile while saying thank you.

\=====

That night Faiq, Fatur, Heru and Hendro were escorting Hanako, Iyaz and Izar. They deliberately came to the location where the ghost in a pink dress often appeared. Heru and Hendro chose to wait in the car because they did not want to see the ghost sighting in question.

“ We meet here Pa...” Hanako said as she pointed to the location of her encounter with the ghost of Nihana.

“ Ok, We wait here aja yes..,” said Faiq who is owned by Hanako.

In another corner Fatur also took Iyaz and Izar down the sidewalk slowly while observing the building of the store that looks damaged.

“ That's it Opa....,” said Iyaz and Izar simultaneously while pointing to the end of the road they were about to cross.

“ Yes, Opa also already seen...,” said Fatur with a smile.

At the end of the road, a female figure in a pink dress was pacing while hovering. Izar waved

his hand towards the female ghost made Fatur shake his head.

“ Aunt, here..!” call Izar with a funny mimic.

“ You are here, this is who.?” asked the ghost of Nihana while glancing towards Fatur.

“ It's Opa I, well that's there My Father.

“ You guys what exactly, ghost hunting team.?” ask the ghost Nihana does not understand.

“ Not Aunty. Opa and Dad I will help Aunt Lillian nyari, can you.?” ask Izar.

“ Sure. Aunty believes they are great people and can definitely help me find Lilian.

with smile.

“ But I, Iyaz same Cici also great you know Auntie. The proof We can make sure Opa same father come here..,” said Izar sulked.

“ Yes, yes. Izar is also great...,” Nihana's ghost said with a smile.

Hanako and Faiq come closer to Nihana's ghost. Then they got into serious conversation. Whereas

to Heru and Hendro they seem to be talking to something invisible.

“ I lost Lilian since then..” said the ghost of Nihana lirih.

Faiq looked at Nihana's ghost and tried to trace his past. Faiq saw that before Nihana's death

hanging out on the road. No place to live, no proper food and drink. But Nihana is still doing something that is being a scavenger to meet the needs of his life. And that's what makes her dress look dirty because Nihana has never changed her clothes since she was kicked out of her husband's house.

Suddenly, Faiq's jaw was hardened and his hands clenched when he saw what had happened to Nihana

at the end of his life. Fatur who knew that also reminded Faiq to be able to control himself because there were Hanako, Iyaz and Izar with them at that time.

Faiq nodded his head and managed to control himself while Hanako, Iyaz and izar still asked

there are many things about Nihana's ghost.

“ Gini it feels like writhing people chatting with ghosts. Horrified delicious...,” said Heru with a smile and

thumbs up.

“ Yes Her. Though I often squirm the Faiq chat with ghosts. But always can't move and don't know what to do. Scared but curious. But if you see also I do not want.” said Hendro while laughing.

“ Sama Bang, I also ogah lah..,” said Heru while laughing.

“ Ssttt, don't be noisy. You forget that ghosts do not like if there are noisy people here.” said Hendro.

reminding.

Hearing Hendro's words made Heru immediately lock his mouth tightly. While Hendro seemed to smile secretly looking at Heru's behavior and closed his eyes again. The two returned to their lives while remaining alert in the car.
