Droplets of Night Creatures

10. Orion Lost

Matilda and George's wedding was going well. Apparently Sarlan and his wife were serious about having a wedding party for Arnold's two cousins. Sarlan seemed to want to pay for his curiosity that failed to hold a wedding party for the Moon first.

Understanding the wishes of his parents, Moon also seemed to agree and did not mind. Even the Moon was the most enthusiastic person to welcome the marriage of Matilda and George.

That night the Moon lay back in bed breastfeeding her baby. Since the afternoon Orion's been a little fussy and it's

the Moon needs to be more patient with it. While rubbing the head of Orion with love Moon also invites the baby to talk.

“ Your father would be happy to know that his two cousins are married. Didn't he intentionally bring them closer, son. You yourself are happy to see Om and Tantemu together..?” tanya Moon half whispered.

Orion seemed to nod while muttering something. Moon smiled and then kissed her baby with anxiety.

“ If you smile gini is more handsome. Why from a fussy afternoon anyway. I was confused to do something. Don't you miss your dad. Patience, son, your father is busy. Later if it's a bit relaxed he must come to visit us. Mother also miss you the same father..” said Moon wilih while closing her eyes because she could not hold back tears that fell suddenly.

The moon rubbed her wet eyes then smiled as Orion's tiny hands landed on her face. The baby's gentle gaze seemed to say if everything was fine and the father would come for them soon.

“ Yes, I know. Thank you, son, you want to comfort Mom and comfort Mom. Now Orion's sleeping yeah,

maybe soon Dad will come as usual..” said Moon quietly while holding Orion tightly.

Arnold often visited the Moon and Orion without the knowledge of Sarlan and his wife. Usually

Arnold's coming in at midnight. Then before dawn he would dart away leaving the Moon and Orion to return to where he came from. And when Arnold came to visit Matilda would choose to sleep on a chair near George because he did not want to interfere with the togetherness of Arnold and the Moon.

As the Moon fell asleep, the window opened slowly and revealed a smiling Arnold

he saw his wife and son lying on the bed. Arnold slowly jumped into the room. He sat beside the Moon looking at the two people he loved so much with longing gazes.

Arnold drew his face closer and kissed Orion and the Moon in turn. Even though he had done it gently but still woke up the moon that had just fallen asleep.

“ Arnold...,” call Moons later then squandered into hugging her husband.

“ Yes Dear. Sorry to keep you waiting..,” said Arnold while hugging his wife back.

“ Gapapa. You're all right..?” ask Moon while breaking her embrace.

“ Of course. Why are you crying..?” arnold asked as he rubbed the rest of the Moon's tears with his fingertips.

“ I did not cry...,” sahut Moon while moaning.

“ Time anyway. But your eyes are rich in gini. Must be kangen yes the same I...,” seductive Arnold with a smile.

“ What the heck You...,” said the Moon while hitting Arnold's arm and immersed himself in Arnold's arms to make the husband laugh.

Then Arnold lowered his head to kiss the Moon's lips slowly. The two looked locked to each other. Arnold also began to fondle the Moon gently to make the Moon sigh*h. Accompanied by the rain and the cold night air both dissolve in their hot romance. Longing because long time did not meet as if paid off.

“ I love you Moon...” Arnold said as he stared at the two Moon net gently after fulfilling his responsibilities on the bed.

“ I also love you Arnold...,” said to the Moon while smiling shyly.

The two hugged each other again to soak up the burning love in their hearts. A moment later Moon broke her arms and looked at Arnold's face.

“ Matilda and George are getting married the day after tomorrow. Can you attend..?” ask Moon.

“ Mmm..., I definitely present..,” says Arnold fast.

“ As what...?” ask Moon.

“ You mean..?” arnold didn't understand.

“ I mean, You present as their cousin or as the King of the werewolves.

“ In your opinion, I should appear as what..?” ask Arnold.

“ You asked my opinion, it means you are ready with my answer. I want you to be present as My Husband and Father of My Son. Can ga..?” ask Moon while looking at Arnold expectantly.

“ Can....,” said Arnold steady to make Moon smile happy and hugged him tightly.

George and Matilda's wedding was held in front of Sarlan's house. Villagers who have known both also appear to be present to give their blessing. The appearance of a pair of brides who have ‘bule’ blood is not enough to grab the attention of residents because they are stunned to see Arnold's presence in the middle of the party.

Arnold appears to be sitting sweetly beside the Moon holding Orion. Every now and then a smile was clearly imprinted on his face as the in-law said something. Apparently Sarlan had forgiven Arnold and accepted his presence in their family. Sarlan's attitude that changed 180 degrees was what provoked the attention of the citizens.

Arnold's presence certainly makes George and Matilda happy. In addition to being present as cousins, Arnold was also present as King and represented their extended family to give their blessing.

Sometimes George and Matilda seemed to laugh at Arnold who always followed the Moon as if he was worried that his wife would disappear. While on the other hand, Arman was annoyed to see Arnold's and the Moon's affection. Especially when you hear the words of praise made by the people.

“ Months with Arnold is very compatible yes..,” said one resident.

“ Yes. The handsome guy, the pretty girl. Pas really....,” said another citizen with a smile.

“ Fortunately, the Moon ran away from the wedding, if you're sure Mr. Sarlan will also be maksa Moon maksa married Arman. Unemployed man, lazy, loyal again.” said a woman while sneering.

“ Right. Kasian the Dati. He was married for eight months but Arman was married again. Crocodile...,” sahut a woman with ketus.

“ The fate of the Dati because they want to be lied to by the Arman.” said another resident as he passed.

The resident's gossip makes Arman's ears hot. Arman was forced to marry the woman because she accidentally fucked the woman while she was drunk. The woman came and held Arman accountable. The witness who was presented also incriminated Arman. Eventually the helpless Dati is forced to let her husband remarry because Arman threatens to divorce her.

Can't bear to hear the gossip of residents finally Arman chose to go and stop attending the wedding of George and Matilda. Meanwhile from where he stood Arnold was secretly watching Arman. He knew what Arman had done to his wife. He intends to teach Arman a lesson someday. The moon that saw her husband's attitude whispered to Arnold.

“ Please don't mess up Ar. Just ignore him because I never mengubrisnya..,” said the Moon while holding fingers Arnold tightly.

Arnold smiled then nodded his head in agreement. He again followed the Moon while carrying Orion as his wife greeted the guests.

George and Matilda choose to live in another house because they do not want to trouble Sarlan and his family. The location of the house that George deliberately bought from one of the villagers was only two houses away from Sarlan's house.

Moon and Orion remain with Sarlan and his wife on Arnold's approval. Sarlan feels the Moon will be safer with him when Arnold has to go to his job. George and Matilda kept watch over the Moon and her son.

Because of their close proximity, Orion was able to move back and forth to George and Matilda's house. Orion does that a dozen times a day. Moon and her parents had no objections. They understand how unfortunately George and Matilda told Orion.

But that day something bad happened. Two-year-old Orion suddenly disappeared from home. Moon, George and Matilda have been trying to find but to no avail. Until noon Orion had not been found and it made the Moon more panicked.

By late afternoon a canned letter came and took the Moon by surprise. Without thinking long Moon went to see her son who was kidnapped by someone. George and Matilda and Moon's parents do not know if Orion was kidnapped and the kidnapper asks Moon to pick Orion up alone.

The moon arrived at a small house in the forest according to the instructions of the letter he received earlier. When the Moon arrived, she heard the sound of Orion laughing. The moon ran fast and opened the door forcibly.

How surprised the Moon when he found out Orion was in Arman's lap while chewing something given by Arman.

“ Orion here Son..!” call the Moon impatient.

“ Mother, I'm again mamam cake. Mom wants ga..?” orion asked, showing the cake she was eating.

“ Remove it Orion. You already said that Orion can not eat something that is loved by strangers.” said Moon riled.

“ But the cake is delicious Mom. This uncle who bought it earlier..,” Orion said.

But a second later Orion's body was piled up and the boy staggered forward to make the Moon scream. Arman swiftly caught Orion's body before hitting the floor and laid it on a chair.

“ Release him Arman. What did you do to her...?!” tanya Moon was angry.

“ I only gave a little medicine so that your child took a short nap and did not disturb Us Moon..,” said Arman with a grin and then stepped slowly closer to the Moon.

“ What do you want Arman..?” ask the Moon while shifting away.

“ I want You Moon. If you surrender yourself willingly, then I will set your Son free. If not, then do not blame Me if I hurt him Moon..,” said Arman while pushing forward to ambush the Moon.

The Moon's concentration split as he worried about Orion, who appeared to be lying stiff. As a result Arman easily catches him and prepares to harass him. The scream of the Moon accompanied the arrival of a full full moon that evoked the presence of the werewolf, the cruel and bloodthirsty creature of the night.
