I Go Home Mas...
49. Night Talk

That night, it felt like a sleepless night for Madam Ukha and Lukman.

Both of them because I was kicked out of talking about ghosts continuously, eventually forced to move tightly to the front room of the house.

They sat there together drinking coffee and pea skin.

This is the first time Lukman and Mbak Ukha seem to both start one opinion. Not so far away in his opinion.

"Yes means the only way is to ask everything to Nyi Parijem, Ma'am. We must also pay attention to why Ms Mirna can still enter the house, if Nyi Parijem has made a collision for this house. Is it just Miss Mirna, or just another ghost can also enter."

Lukman.

Ma'am Ukha nodded,

"Yes Man, you're right, this is very confusing, because given the collision that should be able to prevent anyone subtle creatures from entering, it can even be penetrated by ghosts. It was clear that Mbak realized, coming home from the stall there was Bibik Nur in the room, it turned out Bibik was behind, as soon as Mbak moved into the living room, there were two hands on the shoulder Mbak, there was a little bit of a big brother, and the whisper that tells us that what's going on is bothering the people, it's not Mirna."

Mbak Ukha said,

Lukman nodded, though,

"I also really don't really believe Ma'am Mirna bothered people who have nothing to do with Mas Yanto, if after all he really wants to solve the problem as Nyi Parijem said, he said, he should have come only to us and also to Mas Yanto, right?"

Lukman looked at Mbak Ukha who nodded in agreement.

"And also, the appearance of a broken face and so it would also make no sense, Mirna did not die in an accident condition, she was fine."

Gumam Mbak Ukha,

Lukman looked at Mbak Ukha, then...

"Mr..."

Call Lukman.

Mbak Ukha nodded.

"Yes Man, what's wrong?"

Ask Mba Ukha.

"Why has Mbak Ukha not seemed to like Mbak Mirna, but now he is starting to want to defend Mbak Mirna?"

Lukman finally wondered.

Although it is, sometimes the sister-in-law, or sister-in-law does not like the wives of her brothers as if it is common, for some reason, but for Lukman, this is quite disturbing. At least, this could also be a reason later he could choose a wife that hopefully acceptable to all his family, without exception.

"Your mother."

Says Mbak Ukha, the,

"Mas Yanto?"

Ask Lukman.

Sister Ukha shook her head,

"His father is a child, my husband."

Mbak Ukha.

"Ooh, why?"

Lukman stared more closely at Mbak Ukha,

Madam Ukha sighed, then she momentarily turned her head towards the door of the front room, where Tita was there asleep, after making sure the child is still sound and impossible to peek to also eavesdrop on the talk of Mbak Ukha and Lukman, then Mbak Ukha continued.

"My husband had been to Yanto's boarding house, when we wanted to help him by sending him some snacks and some pocket money. You're used to knowing that."

Says Mbak Ukha.

Lukman.

"One day, my husband came, and at the boarding house he said there was a woman, she said Yanto's girlfriend, just visited she said, getting acquainted and she said her name was Mirna."

Lukman looks to form his mouth like the letter O,

"But, because Mirna looked like a person who had not just come, but was like having been staying there, my husband asked one of Yanto's boarding neighbors, and she said Mirna's been staying there a lot."

"Lho, is it okay from the owner of the boarding house and his boarding neighbor Ma'am?"

Ask Lukman,

Ma'am Ukha puts his shoulders.

"You're younger, you certainly know better how the world is developing,"

"But Mas Yanto has been in college for a long time, more than fifteen years ago."

Lukman.

"But that's the truth."

Mbak Ukha.

Says Mbak Ukha.

"Then, since he married Yanto, none of his family had clearly come, we never knew who his family was, he could say his family was far away, but also did not know very well whether it was not. Not to mention the debt problems that Mbak discussed, so yes the point is Mbak does not like Mirna, because he is actually not as good, but praised as he is good perfect. Yanto, you, and Mom, are the same."

Says Mbak Ukha.

Lukman giggles, though,

"But he as a new person in the family is actually good, Ma'am, if his business was like a woman who eg free association is his business."

Lukman.

"Yes that's what you think, but for Mbak, it's still not like Mbak."

Sahut Ma'am Ukha.

"Then, why now does Madam Ukha want to belain Ma'am Mirna?"

Ask Lukman.

Sister Ukha shook her head,

"Of course, maybe because Mbak also knows what it feels like to be slandered, there was once a problem of being slandered by friends at school, he said every test has a key answer, he said, it's just like it's a half-dead goiter."

Says Mbak Ukha.

Lukman nodded, though,

"Slander is more cruel than murder,"

Lirih Lukman's.

"But..."

Continue Lukman, though,

"But, who exactly is this ghost? And why is he slandering Ms Mirna? Does this have anything to do with humans, as I said, Ma'am, is it possible that this has something to do with humans who don't like Mommy Mirna secretly?"

Lukman leaned his body against the back of the chair, then looked up at the ceiling of the house,

"It must be Nyi Parijem, Man. Maybe tomorrow's better, Ma'am asked to be called Mirna to interact with us."

Says Mbak Ukha.

"Yes, it would be better so Ma'am, because that way maybe everything can be more palpable, we also do not guess right? Because sometimes if we guess it is not true also the fall of slander again later."

"Yes Man, you're right."

Mbak Ukha said, then sipped the rest of his coffee that stayed a little.

Quiescent.

Silent.

Mbak Ukha and Lukman are both immersed in their respective thoughts,

Then...

Lukman suddenly remembered about Winda calling Yanto, and his conversation with Tita at a fried rice stall near the clinic.

"Winda, yes Ma'am Winda... Could she?"

Suddenly Lukman said, breaking the silence between himself and Mpa Ukha,

"What's wrong with Vinda?"

Ask Mba Ukha.

"Tita said, Ms. Winda brought a friend to Mas Yanto's house, then threw away all the photos of Ms. Mirna a few days ago."

"Huh?"

Ukha Mbak gaped,

"Why?"

Ask Mommy Ukha,

"Either. Tita cries she says Missus is evil."

Lukman.

And...

Along with that, suddenly there was a smell of cantile flowers that were so stinging...

Lukman and Mbak Ukha later...
