213. Not a Substitute

Rex was observing the surroundings just as the clock was showing at eleven o'clock in the evening. With him there were two TNI soldiers dressed in striped clothes who were also observing the situation, namely Andi and Satria.

" Aman Captain..," whispered one of them.

" It is definitely safe to be Ndi. This is markaz TNI. Sane people certainly do not dare to make a tantrum unless people stress..," said Satria.

" I mean that too. Then why is the Captain looking around rich looking for something...?" andi asked half a whisper.

Satria turned to the captain and was confused to see Rex watching the surroundings seriously. And seeing the attitude of the Captain like that made Satria feel anxious.

" What's wrong, huh...?" ask Satria.

" Where do I know. Try asking yourself there," Andi said.

" Don't do it, I'm done. Let's get out of here.." take Rex out of the blue.

" Captain Ready, "said Andi and Satria together.

Then Rex, Satria and Andi stepped in.

" Now you go around to the barracks and the side buildings, I scrape the barn and the back." Rex ordered.

" Captain ready..," said Satria and Andi.

" Himself or both Captain...?" ask Andi.

" Whatever. We'll meet at the Post in an hour" Rex said as he passed.

" Prepared Captain...!" sahut Andi loudly.

Then Andi and Satria stepped together to check the barracks according to Captain Rex's orders.

" Lo feel ga if the attitude of the Captain is somewhat different today...? " ask Andi.

" yes. There is a thing yes, it is usually rich like that..," said Satria.

" There must be a severe problem that is thought of..," Andi said.

" Eh monyong. If the matter does not need to be called, the name of a living person must have a problem..," said Satria annoyed.

" Yes the hell..," said Andi while grinning.

" How should we go...?" ask Satria.

" How-how-how. Don't be pretentious and meddling is the best way. Unless the Captain asks us for our opinion, that's another story. But as long as the Captain doesn't say anything, yes we'll just. Instead of being beaten and punished richly in Madura first, if I really milih diem and wait aja..," said Andi while shaking his shoulders to make Satria laugh loudly.

" Oh, who Lo pretended to faint because of the soy sauce running around the field huh...?" satria asked in between her laughter.

" Yes..," Andi said with a wry smile.

" It's Lo's own fault that Captain Rex has. Which makes me the same tense laugh because Lo use pretend to faint all, even though a minute before the Captain had said that if we run finished when until the blue goal...," satria said still with a laugh.

" Well, how come Lo just said it now...?" ask Andi.

" His mother Lo just found out...?" ask Satria.

" yes. If I knew I would end up doing something I used to pretend to faint. I don't hear that order I swear !. I'm ashamed of my wife who was still my fiancee. Because the Captain immediately contact him and ask him to rethink if you want to marry a weak man rich I. That's not just it. Captain Rex also said that I flirted with the medical team there. You know the ending, though ?. I got in a fuss because he wanted to cancel the engagement. Damn again Captain does not want the responsibility of straightening the problem...!" sahut Andi was upset to make Satria laugh again.

" Lo's face at the time was very funny Ndi. I'll take it if you want Lo to whine with Captain Rex..," said Satria in between his laughter.

" Why laugh at Sat ?. Laughing You really serem tau ga ?. Similar to Aunt Kun whose house is on a tree." Andi said while smothering Satria's mouth.

Satria looks thrashed and finally managed to escape from Andi defender.

" Sia*an !. Laughter period I Lo sainin kuntilanak sih Ndi. I'm a guy...!" satria protest.

Satria let out a long sigh while looking at Andi's back who was away. After that he continued his steps following Andi when he realized he was in the side of the dark and quiet barracks.

At the same time Rex seems to be stepping alone while checking the warehouse. After making sure the warehouse was locked properly, Rex turned his body around.

At that moment, he heard a woman's voice humming. Rex turned his head trying to find the source of the sound. And his eyes were fixed in the front, just below the cashew tree in front of the warehouse.

Rex walked over to the woman. But every time Rex stepped up, the woman moved further away. Finally Rex stopped his steps because he did not want to lose the figure of a woman who was none other than Nyai Hadini.

" Otherwise now, Nyai...?" ask Rex.

" Why haven't you helped solve Luna's problem. Kasian he..," said Nyai Hadini.

" God willing, I intend to help him later Nyai..," said Rex.

" Then what else are you waiting for...?" ask Nyai Hadini.

" No there is. I'm just preparing myself to face something that I think is different from the previous one." Rex said quickly.

Rex's reply made Nyai Hadini smile. The woman raised her head to look at Rex, something she never did except when she met Rex and took him across the street.

" Don't delay any more..," said Nyai Hatini, a Rex.

After saying that sentence, Nyai Hadini simply vanished from before Rex.

Rex took a deep breath and rubbed his face. He felt that his attitude was a little different this time.

" God willing I take care of it immediately" muttered Rex and walked slowly away from the place to continue his duties.

Shezi smiled as he looked at the message that Captain Rex had sent.

" Eventually..," Shezi muttered as she typed the reply sentence for the message Rex had sent earlier.

After typing the message, Shezi put his phone back in his pocket. Shezi continued his work restlessly because it continued to be overshadowed by the appearance of the spirit of Luna who continued to observe him in the distance.

" Y...!" call one of Shezi's colleagues named Dina.

" Athaghfirullah aladzim.., why call him ngagetin that Na...?!" shezi protested to accidentally drop a plastic medicine in his hand.

Fellow Shezi seemed to frown in surprise at Shezi's reaction. Moreover, he also saw Shezi repeatedly turned towards the pharmacy door as if he was looking at something creepy.

" Lo see what the hell is Zi...?" asked Dina while observing the pharmacy door.

" Don't see anything." Shezi said, pretending to be busy.

" Or wait for someone again" said Dina, smiling meaningfully.

" Yes, eh ga kok..," Shezi said quickly but it sounded funny to make Dina laugh.

" Gapapa if you're waiting for someone. It's time for Lo to move on and find another guy who's better than Lo's ex." said Dina, patting Shezi on the shoulder.

" I misunderstood Na. I am waiting for people again. But not to be a replacement for my ex-rese. This person wants to help me make a nervous Gue who is scared because of being followed by a ghost..," Shezi said while gently brushing Dina's hand.

" Pupplied ghost...?!" ask Dina.

" Ssttt.., don't scream it can't. It's a secret tau..," Shezi said while glaring annoyed.

" Oops, sorry. But the ghost doesn't follow Lo, does Zi...?" dina asked as she leaned towards Shezi.

Shezi just shook her shoulder to make Dina upset.
