The Tomb Next to the House
36. Gun-hy?

I put two cups of warm tea on the table.

"Please, Grandma," I said to a guest this morning.

"Thank you, Nduk."

Grandma Surti, my guest this morning. She was the grandmother I met near Sendang Wangi back then. He also explained the chronology of Althaf's death.

"Have you ever bathed in Sendang Wangi huh, Nduk?" tanya, suddenly make me who had sat opposite her, fixated on the spot.

"Mr Surti knows?"

"looks."

"Sorry." I'm down. Feeling guilty for not hearing his ban.

Speaking of prohibition. The village is back as it was. People are back to their usual activities.

Only then did we know, it turns out that the story about Sekar and his curse was merely engineered by Mr. Kades to get food for his pets.

Even all the workers in his house were also made into a collision by Mr. Kades. Until their spirits roam around the big house. Their souls were bobbing indistinctly because of bodies that were not properly buried.

And as I expected, Sekar became one of the people who was pulverized by that savage human.

And the outrageous thing is Bryan who knows it but only complies without saving the life of the woman who was then his wife.

Though the bird news says that Bryan loves Sekar very much. Due to the influence of his own father, Bryan was easily used and used as a puppet for his personal interests.

"This old granny is just like you." The sound that was interspersed with laughter made me aghast.

"-meaning? Nek Surti was also .... "

"Yes, Grandma once bathed in Sendang Fragrance."

"So Nek Surti's inner eye is also open?" Both my eyes were wide open.

He nodded slowly. "Grandmother can also help you close your inner eyes again."

Wow, I'm surprised. An offer I've wanted so much ever since I started to feel like having an inner eye is a bad luck in life.

"Hows it? Grandma can help if you're willing," she asked again, not getting a response from me for a few minutes.

"No need, Grandma," I replied sure.

Then proceed. "I am so grateful to live with this privilege. These eyes are a gift from God that I never wanted to change. Because with him I can still see the happy smile of my son."

My eyes were directed towards the kitchen. Where Bagas was playing with Althaf. I don't know where Bagas can get his body back. So now he can be a full-fledged ghost of a child. Not the ghost head anymore.

"That's what it looks like." Grandma Surti followed my direction.

I'm sure he also saw two boys playing there. Just like what I said to Yati when I first saw Bagas' photo. My son and I can play together.

"Where's your husband?" ask Grandma Surti suddenly.

"At the village hall, Grandma. Secure Bryan who is again the target of the rampage of the citizens."

"Something's wrong with your husband."

"What does Nek Surti mean?"

"Your husband has to be useful."

Deg.

After exposing all of Mr. Kades' crimes, I think all the problems are over. Although I haven't been completely honest with Raihan. But, it turns out there are still other problems that are waiting in plain sight.

"Mas Raihan also told me that he felt strange about himself. Who's the prankster who wants to take him away from me, Grandma?" many ensure. Even though I have thought of one name in mind.

But I still need to convince myself. There's no way I'm going to accuse people without evidence and clarity.

"Women who are close to your husband."

"Is the woman's name Gita, Grandma?" manya curious.

Long I waited for Grandma Surti's answer who was silent while glaring. I wonder if my guess is true.

"Not."

Huh huh? Don't you?! If not Gita, who else is the woman who is close to my husband until he plays for all?
