Droplets of Night Creatures

102. Red Shadow

From a distance Robi looks annoyed at Genk Comot. He was upset that he failed to get Aruna to talk. He felt that the five friends of Aruna did not like him. It seems Robi is not aware if his attitude is the cause.

Robi smokes her cigarette strongly and then exhales her smoke into the air. He felt more relaxed after doing it repeatedly. Robi recalls the beginning where she started to like Aruna and wanted the girl to be her lover.

At that time Robi had just arrived at the campus when her eyes caught the casual-clothed beautiful figure who had just entered the campus gate.

Robi continued to observe the girl who then he knew named Aruna, a new student in the faculty of Economics.

Since first seeing her, Robi has been interested in Aruna. He continued to observe Aruna and tried to figure out what Aruna's personality was like before he came forward to get acquainted with her.

One morning Robi sees Aruna talking to the Kautsar. Although the two stood a considerable distance away and seemed hostile to each other, but Robi did not like it. He saw how the Kautsar looked at Aruna. As a fellow man he knew very well that at that time Kautsar also liked Aruna even though Aruna did not seem to respond.

" Always Kautsar. Why on every line there is him. Not in class, in the cafeteria, in the library, there must be him. Even the girl that I am incer likes her. But for this one I can't give up. Aruna can only make me." inner Robi while clenching her hands.

Robi and Kautsar compete in education. Actually only Robi feels if he and Kautsar compete. While Kautsar seemed indifferent and only tried to pursue his education seriously.

Robi's a smart kid. He always got good grades in almost all courses. But unfortunately Kautsar is always superior and that makes Robi upset. Moreover, Robi also saw some students, one of which is the girl of his dreams, actually interested and pursue the love of Kautsar. Although the Kautsar seems to ignore the students and only respond to them as friends, Robi's hatred for him is ingrained.

Robi and Kautsar are also some of their classmates who often engage in casual conversation about many things. From that talk little Robi knows what the nature and character of Kautsar is like. If you want to be honest, Robi finds more positive things in Kautsar. While the negative is the result of Robi's own creations that do harbor dislike to the Kautsar.

When he finds out that Aruna does not like Kautsar for some reason, Robi is increasingly persistent in chasing Aruna. Unfortunately Aruna is always surrounded by five friends who are none other than Genk Comot until Robi always fails to approach Aruna.

At the time Robi was persistently pursuing Aruna's love, at that time he was forced to apply for college leave. His family's financial condition is in turmoil as his father goes to prison for corruption.

Robi must resist her intention to approach Aruna because she has no face to appear in front of Aruna.

A year later, Robi returned to college after her father was found not guilty. At that time Robi tried to find Aruna but unfortunately Aruna was still on vacation in Lampung with her genk.

The golden opportunity that Robi was waiting for arrived. At that time he saw Aruna coming out of campus alone without her genk. Robi rushed to Aruna and tried to greet her. Beyond a doubt, Aruna responded to his greeting and it made Robi happy instead of dumbfounded.

After that day Robi seemed to get a chance to get close to Aruna. But again Robi had to be patient when he saw Aruna delivered a man with a big motorbike. Robi didn't know who the man was because he never took off his helmet.

From the movements of Aruna and the man it is seen if the two have a very close relationship. And that made Robi even more upset. He intended to ask Aruna's closeness to the man but it seems Robi's efforts this time also failed. Aruna's five friends are seen holding her back to take the girl to lunch.

" Sia*a. Why is it so hard to get her. But gapapa. It's getting harder instead of getting more challenging huh..," Robi muttered with a meaningful smile.

Robi again breathed cigarette smoke into the air. This time he remembered the figure of the girl he and Kautsar liked. Her name was Wenni. A sweet, shoulder-haired girl who is a younger sister in the Engineering faculty.

Seeing the closeness of Wenni and Kautsar, there was an intention in Robi's heart to disrupt the relationship between the two. Robi began to enter into the relationship of Wenni and Kautsar to sometimes make the two misunderstand.

Kautsar who knows if Robi likes Wenni also understands and tries to give Robi a chance to approach Wenni because he and Wenni really do not have any relationship. Until finally the relationship Wenni and Kautsar ended in an unpleasant condition.

Kautsar thinks that Robi is serious about pursuing Wenni's love. But in fact, when Wenni was no longer seen on campus, Robi's efforts evaporated.

Robi laughed, remembering Wenni. The sweet girl he managed to work with until the girl chose to quit college. The Kautsar never knew anything about what had happened to Wenni until this very moment.

Robi stood up after spending a cigarette. She smiled after planning a lot for Aruna.

Aruna is focusing on doing college assignments in the workspace. Suddenly both of his eyes saw a red shadow flashed in front of him.

Aruna observed the direction the red shadow was heading towards and continued to watch it intensely. The shadow moved almost in every corner of the room. Sometimes it sticks to the ceiling, sometimes it sticks to the wall, or even in the window curtains.

Suddenly the red shadow darted rapidly towards Aruna who was swiftly dodging to the side. Aruna's actions caused her body to fall to the floor and made a noise.

" What's the matter, honey...?!" ask Kautsar from the doorway.

" Don't come here Tsar, you're there...!" said Aruna loudly while developing her palm.

" Why...?!" ask Kautsar curiously.

" There was an invisible attack trying to play with me." said Aruna while trying to get up.

Then Aruna looked around and saw the red shadow that had attacked her was looking at her as well while grinning.

Aruna just smiled then approached the red shadow. Then he developed his palm towards the red shadow that was currently attached to the wall of the room.

Strange things happen. The red shadow suddenly burned by itself and it made the Kautsar who was also staring at the red shadow was surprised.
