The Three Chosen
40. Fake Mirror

The presence of Haikal in Heru's small family complements the happiness of Heru and Ephliya. Heru never dreamed of having a son. After seeing Efliya's efforts to give birth to Hanako, Heru did not want to force Efliya pregnant again. In addition to his great love for his son and wife, Heru also could not see Efliya in pain during childbirth.

But since Haikal was present, Heru's spirit was raised. Now his task is increasing. Not only does he protect Hanako's safety and ensure that her daughter stays safe, but now she also has to be a good example for Haikal.

Meanwhile Hanako looks happy with the presence of Haikal. Hanako reduced outdoor activities just to be able to play with Haikal longer. Hanako often gets ridiculed from her friends for having a sister when she was a teenager and almost stepped on sweet seven teen. But Hanako doesn't care. Hanako proudly shows Haikal's photos to her friends.

“ Brother I'm handsome, cool. You must be envious of me because you can not have a sister like My sister this sister..” said Hanako with a smile triumphantly.

“ Cih, weird base. Big time still has a sister. You should be ready to make Children instead of having a Brother..,” said one of Hanako's friends named Wanda while smiling cynically.

Wanda's words were greeted by the laughter of her friends. They agreed with Wanda's remark and it upset Hanako.

“ You guys are weird. Fifteen years old have a child. School used to be real, continued halal work looking for money that many new thinking of marriage. Do not get you pregnant out of wedlock at this age.”, Hanako cuek quipped and made Wanda offended.

“ Lo means how rich Han is. You accuse me of being pregnant..?!” ask Wanda while shaking her waist.

“ Who said you were pregnant. Kan I just ngingetin so as not to get pregnant out of wedlock, it's wrong where. If Lo ga feel pregnant, do not take offense dong..,” said Hanako while staring intently at the direction.

Wandas.

“ Lo ga no need to nyolot deh Han..!” wanda said as she kicked the table.

“ Who is nyolot. The one who started talking about that kid, Lo, wasn't me. If I'm talking about My Brother, I'm not my son. Remember yes Brother Gue....,” said Hanako while emphasizing the word sister right in front of Wanda's face.

Hanako and Wanda are about to get into a physical fight if an invisible Physics teacher walks into the classroom. Wanda and Hanako returned to their seats. In Hanako's heart is still upset about Wanda's remarks and hopes Wanda gets ‘teguran’ that day.

“ Try who wants to do the problem on the board, who can go forward. Wrong or right still can value kok...,” said the Physics teacher with a smile.

Suddenly Wanda pointed her finger a sign that she would answer the question given by the teacher. As Wanda advanced to the front of the class, a discordant voice came from Hanako's friends. They know if Wanda just want to appear and get free value because all this time Wanda is famous as a girl who bo*oh but likes to look for attention.

The still irritated Hanako looked at Wanda sharply. Then Hanako glanced at the empty front desk and threw a quick glance at Wanda. The table was like shifting quickly

to block Wanda's steps. Because of the sudden movement of the table makes Wanda reflex dodge but she fell down with a face down and kissed the floor. Laughter also blared in the classroom to make Physics teachers forced to hit the table with a wooden ruler so that the atmosphere returned to calm.

“ Enough, what the hell are you guys. There are friends fall instead of being helped kok even ketawain. Now you all come forward and squad jump ten times. Now...!” the Physics teacher said.

All the students fell silent and obeyed the teacher's orders. After serving the punishment from the Physics teacher, they again sat in their respective places in an orderly manner.

“ You gapapa Wanda, how can it fall..?” ask the Physics teacher.

“ Gapapa Ma'am. I'm also confused, I know the table shifted by itself Mom. Because of shock I immediately avoided but instead fell earlier.” said Wanda shyly.

“ Yes already if you just go back to your chair, do not forget to go to UKS to ask for medicine. Fixed value I give even if You cancel the matter..,” said Physics teacher.

“ Well, thanks Mom...,” said Wanda while stepping limping towards the chair where she sat.

While Hanako was still pensive and thought about the shifting table because of her actions earlier. Not wanting to dissolve in the wrong assumption, Hanako also refocused on doing the problems given by the Physics teacher because it was not

wanted to be punished like last week.

\=====

Hanako and Faiq are on their way to the house of Warti, the woman Hanako met at the Hospital while picking up the little Haikal. The journey there is good. But when arriving at the housing location in question, Faiq and Hanako had little trouble finding a home.

“ Block H no sir, in this housing only until block G aja..” said a resident.

That's the same answer Faiq has received since he started asking for the address of Warti in front of the housing.

“ Why are you looking for whose house..?” ask citizens.

“ Nyari home Bu Warti Pak..,” says Faiq.

“ Bu Warti mah emang often halu Pak. Why I live in a luxurious house even though the house is only a patch. He did not wear good clothes and had a lot of money, even though the one in his wallet was just a dry leaf sheet. His son is too. Actually the citizens are the same as them, but squirming their arrogant attitude makes the citizens upset. What was the intention to help Bu Warti even stopped because Bu Warti was angry whenever someone came to his house to give thanks or basic food.” said other residents.

“ Oohh yes Sir. If Bu Warti who Mr. said earlier where he lives..?” ask Faiq.

“ Kalo Bu Warti who I told you about living behind this housing sir. But you can go through here and keep turning left. Well there is this residential guardrail with residential housing. Home Bu Warti nempel same fence yes Sir..,” said citizens.

“ Well, thanks sir...,” said Faiq then back in the car.

“ Both Sir...,” said citizens while waving.

Faiq drove his car slowly across the road indicated by the resident. Soon Faiq and Hanako got out of the car and immediately approached the house attached to a residential fence. Sized house

while it looks lonely, many piles of sacks filled with sand on the porch of the house. Hanako came forward and knocked on the door.

“ Assalamualaikum Bu Warti..,” call Hanako repeatedly but no answer.

Faiq frowned, convinced that he saw a shadow of people passing through the house earlier. But the man did not answer the greeting let alone open the door as if he did not hear if someone knocked on the door of his house.

“ Back down first Ci...,” said Faiq that Hanako obeyed.

The door opened and saw the smiling face of Warti when he saw who had knocked on the door.

“ Oh Nak Honako yes..,” greet Warti friendly.

“ Hanako Bu, not Honako..,” Hanako said with a smile.

“ Yes sorry. Let's go in...,” said Warti while opening the door wide.

At that moment the smell of moisture came out. Hanako and Faiq entered the house and sat in the guest chair.

While waiting for Warti to make a sweet tea for them, Faiq circulated his gaze to the corner of the room. He is looking for something that makes Warti not ‘sadar’ so far. Faiq's gaze was fixed on a large mirror

which is in the middle room. The black-framed mirror gave off a powerful mystical aura. Faiq saw a black shadow flashing through the mirror as if embarrassed because his hiding place was known to Faiq. Seeing that Faiq also understood that the creature was the cause of the attitude of ‘halu’ Warti so far. Faiq gasped as Hanako touched his arm.

“ Papa see what, nih Bu Harti nawarin drink..,” whispered Hanako.

“ Oh yes..,” sahut Faiq.

But Faiq was surprised to see the water presented to him and Hanako was strange and smelly.

“ Sorry, We can not drink this water..” said Faiq firmly.

“ Lho why, Mr. Faiq does not like that tea. This is the best tea I have. When dissduh the color is concentrated and gives off the fragrant smell of jasmine flowers. Pas drunk makes us relax...,” said Warti to make Hanako confused.

Faiq coded Hanako so that they would start helping her now. Hanako nodded her understanding sign then grabbed Warti's hand and held it tightly. Then Faiq grabbed Hanako's right hand and began to detect what she was experiencing. It was only for a moment because Faiq felt that something was interfering with his concentration.

“ Sorry in advance, if you can know how Bu Warti feels now.?” ask Faiq carefully.

“ My Feelings are now normal..,” said Warti relaxed.

“ Kalo according to Bu Warti how does the attitude of neighbors around the house Bu Warti.?” ask Faiq again.

“ They're bummer Sir. They always don't like what I get. Moreover, I can now align with them and not get rich first again.” said Warti upset.

“ Bu Warti Meaning how ya...?” ask Hanako doesn't understand.

“ I used to be poor and difficult. But now I'm rich son. You see for yourself. My house is big and luxurious, my clothes are nice, my money is also a lot of incalculable. But if Me and My Son

get out of the house, the neighbors get away with their noses closed. They also looked cynical when they saw the good clothes I wore. Maybe they are envious and do not expect that Me and My Child can be rich success now.” said Warti while smiling cynically.

Hanako seemed to be trying to hold back the laughter of hearing the words of Harti that were inversely proportional to 180 degrees. Faiq shook his head to remind Hanako.

“ Sorry. If you can know now Miss Warti again wear what clothes yes.?” ask Hanako carefully.

“ I wear a bright red washcloth..,” says Warti steady.

“ I'm sure..?” hanako asked because she saw the clothes that Warti wore were creamy.

“ Sure dong. Kan I have read in front of the big mirror that Son..,” said Warti while pointing at the large mirror hanging on the wall of the middle room.

“ I'd better not have to read there again..,” said Faiq suddenly.

“ Lho why is it sir..?” tanya Hartin didn't understand.

“ Because the reflection that Bu Warti saw in the mirror was all lies, false.!” sahut Faiq.

“ Ga maybe Sir. I don't believe...,” says Warti doesn't like it.

“ Come with Me Mom...,” invite Faiq while inviting Warti to reflect in front of the big mirror.

Faiq asks that she stand in front of the mirror and borrow the mirror Hanako brought. Warti looked confused but still obeyed Faiq's orders.

“ Now Bu Warti noticed the reflection in the big mirror then compare it with the image in Hanako's mirror...” said Faiq.

Warti did what Faiq said. Shortly thereafter, Warti screamed stifled in shock at the reflection in Hanako's mirror. At that time, Warti barely recognized his own reflection in the mirror. Warti looks skinny and very dirty, his hair is tangled like unbrushed, his facial skin and body are also dull like never touched water, he said, not to mention the clothes that he thought were good it now looks just a dirty shabby dress torn here and there.

“ This what, what happened. Why I am rich gini. Where is the correct shadow..?” warti asked while looking at Hanako's mirror and her mirror alternated.

“ All this time Bu Warti was tricked by that big mirror. What you see there is not the real thing. If Bu Warti sees that the clothes that Bu Warti wears are good, the original clothes Bu Warti is very ugly, dirty and smelly.

“ So all this time I was fooled, what I saw was not reality. So the nice clothes, the luxury house and the big money are all lies.?.” tanya Warti and Faiq.

Warti's body slumped to the floor without being prevented. Warti felt embarrassed when he remembered what he had told the people he met. It turned out that they did not look enviously at Warti and his son but

look on with pity because Warti and his son are dreaming while walking !.
