Droplets of Night Creatures

120. Refusing to Die

After hearing Aruna's words, Kautsar looked pensive. He could not believe that he had just shaken hands with a corpse.

" That means..., Aldi is the undead dong Darling...?" ask Kautsar.

" You could say so..," said Aruna.

" How come he can still wander everywhere. Shouldn't he have stayed in one place...?" ask Kautsar not understand.

" The vision of Aldi was not aware that he had died. But when he squirms me, he looks surprised and that means he realizes something. Maybe he just ngeh his status just stretched me yes..," said Aruna hesitated.

" I also squirm if he is very afraid when I meet You Run. Maybe he knew he was dead, but he refused. Other languages are trying to fight against that fate..," said Kautsar.

" It makes sense.." said Aruna.

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

" For a moment, I'm looking for a way to get Aldi without hurting Reyhan and Reymond. But for a while please help you keep everything secret from Reyhan. I don't want him to be scared and mess things up later, " said Aruna, who was taken by the Kautsar.

" okay. But the danger is not for Reyhan and Reymond to live in the same house with the undead Aldi...?" ask Kautsar.

" It's actually not too dangerous as long as it's too long. As long as Reyhan and Reymond know nothing about Aldi, God willing they are safe.

Kautsar nodded in understanding. Then Kautsar and Aruna continued their dinner which had stopped earlier.

After thinking for some time, Aruna finally decided to act as soon as possible.

Knowing his wife would act, the Kautsar did not remain silent. He accompanied Aruna in preparing for everything Aruna needed.

" It's just this, baby...?" ask Kautsar in disbelief.

" yes. You know what I'm doing...?" asked Aruna while holding back a laugh.

" I'm Kirain You're going to take something big and troublesome.., " said Kautsar shyly.

" What is it like for example...? " ask Aruna.

" Mmm, maybe incense or flowers." said Kautsar, shaking his shoulder.

" Husshh. As Muslims we must ask for help, same God dong, same time the devil. How are you, ." said Aruna, pursing her lips.

" Yes yes. Alhamdulillah my wife is guarded with Allah to keep Istiqomah in His way.," said Kautsar while kissing Aruna's head affectionately until the wife smiled.

" When it's early in the morning we go to Reyhan's house. Please don't take Aldi to know, '" said Aruna.

" I'm calling Reyhan now, yeah" Kautsar said.

" Don't call, just chat. Tell Reyhan if it's a secret, '" said Aruna.

" Ok..," said Kautsar quickly.

At the same time Reyhan also seemed agitated. He felt uncomfortable looking at the way Aldi was looking at him. Reyhan had thought that Aldi knew he was being stalked by Reyhan.

Reyhan turned to his phone which he just put on the bed. He saw a WA notification coming in. Reyhan smiled as he saw who sent the message.

" Alhamdulillah..," Reyhan murmured after reading a message from the Kautsar.

" Ok Tsar. I'm waiting for ya. Honestly I was so afraid to squirm Aldi pacing in front of my room. Thanks...,"

That was the sentence that Reyhan sent in reply to the chat that Kautsar had sent earlier.

Afterwards Reyhan came out of the room for ablution. When he opened the door he saw that the room looked dark because the lights had been extinguished. Only the light of the television is lit which gives a little illumination in the room.

Reyhan was pecking at the spot when he saw Aldi was fingering Reymond's sleeping body. Not just any fingered but more like a passionate palpation.

Realizing he was being observed, Aldi turned to the door where Reyhan was standing. Luckily Reyhan immediately hid behind the door while closing his eyes.

Reyhan postponed for a moment his intention to ablution. After believing the situation was safe, Reyhan cleared his throat to signal Aldi if he was going to leave the room. Then Reyhan came out of the room and saw Aldi watching television.

" Not sleeping Al...?" greet Reyhan while pretending to yawn.

" hasn't. Lo why...?" ask Aldi.

" Belet peed..," Reyhan said as he stepped quickly into the bathroom.

" Want to be won ga...?" tanya Aldi offered.

" Apaan the Lo. I'm not a child who has to pee, I have to be punished..," said Reyhan upset.

Aldi just smiled faintly. There was a strange glint in both of his eyes when he saw Reyhan closing the bathroom door.

In the bathroom Reyhan immediately finished his wudhunya and then entered the room and locked the door without looking back at Aldi again.

That night after the evening prayer, Reyhan stayed awake while continuing to recite. He held the prayer beads with trembling hands because of the fear that controlled his heart.

Outside the room came the sound of pain from Reymond. Although faint but can still be heard by Reyhan, and it makes him afraid and sad.

" Sorry Mond. I can't help Lo because I also don't want to be a victim of the devil in his body Aldi. Hang on for a little while, may Kautsar come in time" Reyhan murmured as he rubbed the sweat on his face and neck.

Time seems slow to go for Reyhan. Time and time again he looked at the wall clock to make sure the time Kautsar had promised was coming soon.

Suddenly there was the sound of a stifled scream from Reymond's mouth. Reyhan gasped in shock and was moved to open the door. As his hand nearly touched the door handle, a voice held him back.

" Don't Rey...!" kautsar said from behind the window.

" Kautsar..," call Reyhan with a sparkling face.

" Bukain window dong..," pinta Kautsar while pointing the window lock.

Reyhan nodded then rushed to unlock the window. After the Kautsar jumped into the room, he reached out his hand to help Aruna.

" Negajak Aruna is also the Tsar. Danger tau...!" reyhan said he didn't like it.

" Don't worry. Aruna this is a special girl who's going to finish it all. If I only help you doang..," said Kautsar.

" So Aruna..," Reyhan's speech was interrupted as the Kautsar cut off quickly.

" We'll talk about that later. Now Lo is hearing what Aruna wants to say." said Kautsar to make Reyhan nod.

" Gini Brother. The ones out there aren't really Aldi. The real Aldi passed away a week ago" Aruna said in a whisper.

" Inna Lillahi wainna ilaihi roji'uun's. The real Run. So all this time I've been living with dead bodies...?!" ask Reyhan riled.

" Yes Brother. There are two possibilities here. Aldi has something to be done or even Aldi's body is borrowed by subtle creatures to complete his desires that are delayed during life. That's why he was impressed to refuse to die. ...," said Aruna.

" O God, especially this. Pantesan I feel uncomfortable every room is the same Aldi. Apparently he's dead" Reyhan murmured as he covered his face with a palm.

" Now we have to take action before Aldi does something that is not as common as Reymond.", said Aruna.

" Kaya is running late" Reyhan said, shaking his head.

" What does Reyhan mean...? " ask Aruna not understanding.

" I saw his own eyes when Aldi again touched Reymond's body. I pretended not to be safe. But five minutes ago I heard Reymond screaming in pain. Maybe Aldi did the barbaric deed to Reymond, ", Reyhan said, glaring.

Aruna and Kautsar looked at each other with an indecipherable gaze. While Reyhan seemed to take a long breath to reduce his disappointment.
