Droplets of Night Creatures

108. Recognition

The Kautsar and Aruna accelerate their footsteps to get near the gurney where Robi is lying.

" I'm sorry before. Om the same Aunt is not Robi's parents, huh...?" greet the Kautsar with courtesy.

" right. Who are you...?" ask Robi's dad.

" I'm Kautsar Robi's mentor on campus. Said friends Robi treated at this Hospital, what's really Om...?" ask Kautsar.

" yes. But unfortunately now Robi does not exist..," said Robi's father with a hoarse voice.

" I mean Om, this is his body.." Kautsar's speech was interrupted when Robi's mom raised her face.

" Please don't ask again. And please forgive all the mistakes Robi yes..," said mama Robi while sobbing.

" I. yes Aunty..," said Kautsar nervous because he did not expect that Mama Robi would say an apology to Kautsar that sounded sincere.

Meanwhile, Aruna, who was walking beside Kautsar, looked at Robi's body. There he saw the figure of a red baby was lying face down on Robi's face to make Robi difficulty breathing.

" He's alive...!" said Aruna loudly and made the nurse, Kautsar and Robi's parents turned towards Aruna.

" Who is he, please don't make the atmosphere here so bad.", said Robi's father.

" I'm sorry Om, this is My Wife..," said Kautsar.

But unlike Robi's father, Robi's mother actually looks smiling and agree with Aruna's words.

" That's what Mama said. Robi's still alive Pa. There was only something that prevented him from breathing normally..," said Robi's enthusiastic mother.

" I'm sorry, ma'am, not polite. But everyone would have thought that if any of his family died. They haven't been able to accept this condition so sometimes they hallucinate" one nurse said carefully as she continued to push the gurney into the mortuary.

Ten meters before entering the mortuary room, Aruna immediately stopped the gurney speed until it made everyone surprised.

" Please don't hinder our duties Ma'am..," asked one of the nurses while approaching Aruna.

" Stop there, Sister...!" aruna said fiercely to make the nurse surprised and stopped his steps.

Kautsar and Robi's mother soon approach Aruna and try to protect her. They seemed to understand what Aruna was going to do and gave Aruna a chance to prove his words earlier.

While Aruna seemed to move quickly as if pulling something from the top of Robi's face. And a moment later there was a sigh accompanied by the sound of Robi's grunt visible from the moving blanket.

" Haaahhh, ." said Robi.

Seeing signs of movement in the patient made the two nurses who were near the head of the gurney rush to shake the blanket. They were shocked when they saw Robi had opened her eyes and was breathing heavily.

Mama Robi immediately approached Robi and cried when she saw the child coming back to life. Robi's father was no less surprised. The tears that had dried up were now flowing again. The only difference this time around was the tears of happiness.

" Call the doctor, we'll take the patient to the room" said one of the nurses, who was taken by two colleagues.

Then the three nurses pushed back the gurney. Only this time they turned around, opposite to the mortuary room.

Mama Robi turned her head and hugged Aruna tightly. Robi's father was smiling.

" Thank you, son. May Allah repay you" said Robi's mother, kissing Aruna's head several times.

" Together Aunt. I was just doing something simple." said Aruna humbled while clenching her hands behind her back.

" Don't go home first, we'll talk again later huh..," said Mama Robi while patting gently on Aruna's cheek.

" Yes Auntie..," said Aruna with a smile.

Then Robi's parents appear to turn around chasing the gurney where Robi lay who has now walked further and further.

The fist that Aruna hid behind her back was carried forward and then lifted up high.

Apparently Aruna managed to catch the genie figure in the form of a red baby that disturbed Robi. The red baby seemed to be trying to escape while making a hissing sound. Sometimes Aruna seemed to keep her fist away from the face because the red baby began to attack Aruna by clawing.

" Stop acting !. Don't you think because you are like this baby, I'm so sorry and can't hurt you.", said Aruna half-threatening.

The red baby stopped moving in fear of Aruna's threat.

" Tell me what you want. Why keep chasing him...?" ask Aruna.

" He hurt me.." said the red baby.

" Hurt, where is it possible...?" ask Aruna not to believe it.

" It wasn't him who did it. But because of his request I got hurt..," said the red baby while hissing.

" You mean you were hurt when you attacked me...?" ask Aruna.

" Yes..," said the red baby.

" Ck, it's your own fault. Not everything we want will go according to plan including your evil intentions. This time you got the stone because I'm not as weak as your previous prey. Aye...?!" asked Aruna annoyed.

" yes. I admit you're great. All this time I've always managed to carry out the command.., " said the red baby while glaring.

" always. Does that mean Robi often does this kind of thing...?" ask Aruna.

" Often. One of the girls he worked with was named Wenni. Ask your Husband who Wenni really is." said the red baby with a grin.

Apparently the genie in the form of a red baby tried to provoke Aruna and make him quarrel with the Kautsar. But Aruna seemed to smile thinly because she knew what the genie wanted in front of her.

" I want to know directly from you. Be honest or I will make you really can not be useful at all even if only for yourself." said Aruna.

The red baby looks angry. He again tried to attack Aruna. Aruna furiously pressed her fist until the genie in the form of a red baby screamed in pain.

" Now...!" aruna said fiercely to make Kautsar who was beside him shake his head.

" Good, but please don't hurt me." the red baby asked.

" It depends on how your story is. But since you keep arguing, I changed my mind. I'd better throw it out so that your body is destroyed and not shaped again..," said Aruna while making a gesture of wanting to throw something to make the red baby tighten the grip on Aruna's arm.

" Robi made Wenni fall into her arms in a dirty way. Afterwards Robi also made the girl pregnant. When the girl realized she was pregnant and tried to hold Robi accountable, the man threatened her. Wenni decided to quit college because of the shame of getting pregnant out of wedlock," said the red baby quickly to make Aruna stunned.

" Sampe is that far...?" ask Aruna not to believe it.

" yes. And the same thing he'll do to you.." said the red baby.

Aruna snorted angrily and relaxed her clenched hands until the red baby finally came off.

The red baby seemed to float in the air while flapping its wings as if it was reluctant to leave.

" Go away. Do you want me to hurt you again...?" ask Aruna cynically.

" A... I'm leaving..," said the red baby nervously and then darted quickly away from Aruna.

Aruna turned her face towards the Kautsar while smiling wryly to the point of confusing the Kautsar.
