The Bukit Atas Heritage House
THE MYSTERY OF MS. HANUM'S DEATH

Mas Tono and mas Parjo ran away in a hurry, approaching me, who was busy exchanging thoughts with kyai Hasan.

"Den..den.Linggar !,"

"What the hell is mas, koq to ngosan that."

"There were dead bodies, on the trail, near the hotel who were heading towards the city. Serem den, his body nancep on an iron stake, in a ditch. She said she was a den woman, half old, but still bohay, her body was stocky. His name is not wrong Hanum den."

"Hanum?," why did my mind go straight to my stepmother. For a moment I was silent, my feelings were not good.

"Mas Tono, please take me there."

"The dead body is?."

"Yes, I want to see, my feelings are not good."

"Well den, come on!, I take the bike first yes. Oh yes, where did Asep go mas."

"No idea, I haven't seen it in the morning."

With the piggy bank of Tono, I went to TKP. Once there, the new body is lifted and will be put into the body bag. I broke through the crowd, until when I got in front, I saw a figure who was like a stranger to me, I wanted to approach the corpse, but was blocked by the apparatus. But I saw there was a sign in his hand that I believe, the body is Hanum's mother.

"Sir help me, I want to see the woman's body."

The police finally allowed me to see the body that had been put in the bag. How surprised I was, when I saw the one lying stiff there, it was true, Ms. Hanum.

"Mom Hanum!, O Allah .. This is my stepmother, why did it come to this sir?."

"We don't know yet, sir, because we just arrived at the scene, after getting a report from the residents."

"Byeah, I brought my stepmother's body, sir."

"May sir, but after we've done the autopsy on the father's stepmother's body."

I agree to the police officer's request. After undergoing an autopsy, finally the body of Ms. Hanum, I can take it home. Although Ms. Hanum is only my stepmother, I have an obligation to take good care of her funeral. Until the day of the funeral, the mang Asep figure was not yet visible, whether the person went where.

"Sir Karina, why did you come here I don't know ?."

"I also don't understand, the afternoon of the mother, the call with someone, like a really cheerful, but I don't know what she's talking about. Trus did not leave for long, there is business he said, afterwards, I don't understand anymore."

Melati was still crying as much as she wanted, I rubbed her head and tried to comfort her, that's when I saw Mang Asep enter the yard of the house, her face looks haggard.

"Mang..mang Asep!, here's mang."

Asep walked towards me.

"Where did he come from, koq said so, not saying goodbye."

"Ponakan mamang died. Yesterday mamang wanted to leave, but because aden was in a lot of trouble, mamang did not feel good. Maafin. Oh yes, no yellow flag in front, who died ?."

"My stepmother is mang, Ms. Hanum."

"Mom Hanum?.why den?, O Allah, ma'am Hanum is a good person," said Mang Asep.

I explained the chronology of the incident.

" So until now it has not been discovered den, the cause of death of Ms Hanum ?."

"Not yet mang, hopefully it's quickly revealed."

"Aamiin.mamang saying yes den, want to rest, from yesterday did not sleep."

Mang Asep immediately wandered off, half running he entered the pavilion. The smoke of the incense re-smelled, making mbak Kirana and Melati, swear an oath of absorbency.

"Wanjiir .whoever burns like this, a great village."

"Yes.amin-amit deh mbak, very tacky."

They kept nagging me until I had to calm them down. I told them to rest in my father's room, after they finished their breakfast.
