The Three Chosen
46. Magic Attractions

The graduation day of Iyaz and Izar arrived. Now they are attending a graduation event at the school attended by the parents of all 6th grade students. Among the parents present were Faiq and Shera who were blending in among the invitees.

Shera and Faiq are having a warm conversation with Leo's parents Helmi and Matheo. They talk about their children acting like detectives.

“ Let Matheo is big, but I'm still worried. He is easily influenced. But squirming he was familiar with Helmi, Leo and the twins, I feel calm..” said the mother Matheo who was fertile.

“ Helmi is also the person baperan Bu, but since playing and making a group of five gini even make him pede. He felt that his four friends were willing to appreciate and listen to him. So I am confused about how he will be in Junior High..,” said Helmi's mother worried.

“ God willing he can get new friends who are as fun as the Children Kita kok Bu..,” entertain Shera while patting mother Helmi's arm gently.

“ Aamiin...,” says Helmi's mother with a smile.

“ So Yes the same Izar further to SMP where Bun..?” ask mami Leo.

“ God willing to enter the boarding school where his father used to school. The twins asked and we had no reason to refuse because the pesantren was good and suitable for them...,” said Shera while glancing at her husband who was talking to the fathers.

“ Right Bun. It's not the time again maxain Our will so that the Children want to go to school where We want. We just want to know what is good, because everyday are those who undergo. School in pesantren is also good, the proof is that Mr. Faiq can be a reliable reporter even though he had been to school in pesantren..,” praise mama Matheo greeted laughter Shera, mother Leo and mother Helmi.

Suddenly their conversation was interrupted when the MC asked the audience to sit in the chair that had been provided because the event was about to begin. Faiq and Shera sat side by side waiting for the show to be performed by the twins and their friends.

All 6th graders take turns to take to the stage to present a variety of entertaining attractions. Applause and laughter also blared in the school hall every time the children after performing on stage.

And now it's myaz's turn and Izar's turn to show something that surprises everyone including his parents. Apparently they display magic attractions. Not just any magic because they involve Dayang who is the unseen friend of Faiq in their appearance. Simple magic that removes objects and moves them in the purse or pocket of the audience. It looks exciting and makes everyone clap happily including the panitya and the performers.

While Faiq can be seen shaking his head while holding back laughter at the behavior of the two twins. Shera also seemed to be amazed by the ability of the two children.

“ Kok I just know if they can magic anyway Well, you are taught yes.?” ask Shera.

“ Ga Bun, I also just found out..” Faiq said with a smile when he saw the missing plastic flower found in Matheo's mama bag.

“ Mean their Father self-training. Don't tell me that all this happened because they asked for help.” Shera's speech was interrupted.

“ Dayang...,” whispered Faiq in Shera's ear to make him surprised.

“ What...?!” shera said as she rounded her eyes.

“ That's how the twins are..,” said Faiq relaxed while patting Shera's back gently to ease his anger.

“ They are really naughty anyway Well..,” muttered Shera was anxious but Faiq just laughed.

“ Gapapa, this game is no danger kok Bun. Dayang also will not want to be invited to do something more. You are calm yes...,” said Faiq.

“ But they must be told that this cannot happen again. Time supernatural creatures invited to play anyway.” grumbled Shera.

“ Yes Darling, later We will discuss at home aja yes..,” sahut Faiq while grasping fingers Shera tightly.

Gentle treatment from her husband made Shera melt. He smiled and again watched the magic attraction ‘ghaib’ his two twins.

Applause returned to the hall after Iyaz and Izar performed magic. Even some of the parents of the students stood up while clapping their hands in admiration. Iyaz and Izar smiled then linked fingers and bowed. Afterwards they came off the stage holding hands.

Under the stage Iyaz and Izar were greeted again by their friends with hugs and loud applause. All the performers were amazed at their ability to juggle earlier.

“ Great You can magic rich like that..,” praise Leo and Helmi together.

“ Thank God, thank you...,” say Iyaz and Izar together.

“ Your appearance was the perfect cover for retirement this time you know Children.” praise their homeroom.

“ Thanks Mom, but Dad said no one is perfect in this world. Only Allah is the Perfect One.” said to Ayaz to make the face of the homeroom teacher blushed in shame.

“ Yes Your father was right and Mother was wrong for being too amazed by how you look just now..,” said the homeroom teacher with a smile greeted by the smiles of Iyaz and Izar.

Shortly thereafter MC mentioned the names of the students who had the best academic scores and their achievements during their education there. Among the students mentioned earlier there is the name of Iyaz as the general champion and Izar as the student who most often represents the school in inter-school sports events. Iyaz and Izar seem to jump happily when they hear their names called.

Faiq and Shera smiled proudly as they saw their two sons standing on stage to receive an award from the school. Then Faiq and Shera were asked to go up on stage to accompany their two children while delivering a speech.

“ ... Thank you to the Father and Mother who have educated our Children. Without the help of the Father and Mother teachers here not necessarily Iyaz and Izar can be like this. Father and Mother teachers are very wise to treat them because they can read and direct them according to their interests and abilities. We can learn a lot from the Father and Mother teacher here how to treat them later. Because even though they are twins it turns out they have differences in interest and talent. Thank you once again and apologize for the mischief of those who have made Father and Mother teachers dizzy.

That is a fragment of the sentence spoken by Faiq who received a positive response from the audience and teachers there.

The event continued a while later until the Dzuhur. After the Dzuhur prayer at the school musholla, Faiq brought his little family home. Faiq deliberately gave time for his two children to rejoice in enjoying their ‘win’. Faiq still kept the question of Dayang in his head because he did not want to ruin the happiness of his son and wife.

“ We eat yuk Bun..,” invite Izar.

“ It's up to Dad...,” sahut Izar fast.

“ Ok, if it's up to Dad it means you can't protest yes..,” said Faiq while glancing at his two children from the rearview mirror.

“ Ok, who is afraid..!” sahut Iyaz and Izar were enthusiastic to make Faiq and Shera laugh.

The car also drove to a lesehan restaurant in the Central Jakarta area. Arriving there, they ordered some food. Afterwards they chatted warmly while waiting for their order to be delivered by the waiter.

“ Your appearance was very good. But how do you suspect something is not right yes.” said Shera while tapping the table to make the twins misbehave.

“ Surely Mommy is told Dad right. Then we can't lie again deh...,” said Izar while laughing.

“ We did not invite Dayang to join Bun..,” said Iyaz with a smile.

“ Call Aunty or Big Brother that you son, the time call aja anyway.” protest Shera does not like.

“ Yes Mother, sorry..,” sahut Imaz fast.

“ But there can't be rich next time, kids. Kasian Dayang...,” said Faiq as he stared intently at his two children alternately.

“ Ready Dad..!” sahut the twins lantang.

“ But I'm happy to do it Iq, gapapa lah once...,” said Dayang relaxed.

“ You do not manage them Dayang, it is not good for you..,” said Faiq while staring at Dayang who stood beside him.

“ Yes, I know...,” hankering Dayang to make Iyaz and Izar laugh because they did not expect that Dayang also shrieked when scolded by their father.

“ Stop laughing, now We eat first yes..,” said Shera.

Then everyone ate it well. Faiq smiled silently at his two children who seemed fearless at all when it came to interacting with the supernatural creature.

The meal was over and Faiq's family decided to return home. But Iyaz asked to be accompanied to the toilet because of pee. Izar responded while Faiq and Shera waited in the parking lot.

While waiting for his twin who was still in the toilet, Izar accidentally looked at a man who seemed to be sitting alone in a room. His face looks sad. The man sat down while staring blankly at the front as if he was waiting for someone. Izar hurried over to the man.

“ Um, What's up here..?” ask Izar to surprise the man.

“ Ka, You can squirm Me..?” ask the man nervously.

“ I know Om is a ghost, so I ask this Om again what is...,” Izar said.

“ Name of Om Rian. Om again waiting for Aura, Om's fiancee. Today is my birthday and I'll see you here. I want to give this doll to him. But how come he has not come also yes..,” said the man while hugging tightly a teddy bear nearby.

Izar had not yet commented suddenly Myaz's voice surprised him. Behind Iyaz was a housekeeper who followed anxiously.

“ Izar..!” call Iyaz to make Izar look.

“ Yes ngagetin. Have you peed..?” ask Izar.

“ Uda, What are you doing here..?” iyaz asked while looking intently at the man who was talking to his twin.

“ Uh sorry, Kids don't play here huh. You better go over there. This room has long been not dipake and not good for small children.” said the waiter while pulling the hands of Iyaz and Izar to get away from the place.

“ Why is Aunty here..?” ask Izar pura-puta don't know.

“ Gapapa, only here often there is a trance, so deliberately closed. Moreover, you are not accompanied by parents. So please don't make Auntie get scolded by Boss Aunt for failing to prevent visitors from entering

sana ya...,” pinta the waiter that is taken by Iyaz and Izar.

While stepping out Iyaz and Izar heard Rian's ghost say something.

“ Please meet Aura. He lives in a flats in the Coffee Cottage area. Tell him if I'm still waiting for him here.” said Rian's ghost voice.

Iyaz and Izar stared at each other and turned to look at the ghost of Rian who was standing near the door while hugging his gift.

“ Insha Allah We will bring Om's fiancee here..,” sahut Iyaz and Izar together.

Rian's ghost smiled and disappeared. Faiq who also saw the ghost of Rian talking with his two children just smiled faintly.
