Droplets of Night Creatures

136. Ghost of Moa

That night Kautsar and his entourage stayed at Grandpa Aldi's residence. At first they refused and wanted to go straight back to the city of Malang, but Grandpa Aldi asked them to stay and go home tomorrow morning.

Kautsar and Aruna are welcome to sleep in the guest room as they are husband and wife. Reymond and Reyhan were given the freedom to choose where to sleep. Both choose to sleep in the middle room while accompanying the person who teaches.

The night crept up, the air was getting colder. The santri who were teaching also seemed to be starting to be attacked by sleepiness. They evaporated several times. To get rid of sleepiness they also drink coffee provided by the host.

In the corner of the room looks Reymond and Reyhan who have fallen asleep even in a sitting position.

Inside the guest room, Aruna looked uneasy. The slumbering Kautsar awoke to feel the bed swaying as his wife flipped her body to the right and to the left.

The Kautsar pulls Aruna into his arms hoping that the wife can fall asleep soon. But Aruna actually tried to break Kautsar's embrace to make the Kautsar confused.

" Why...?" asked Kautsar in a hoarse voice.

" No know. I can't sleep.." said Aruna, turning her back to the Kautsar.

" Want to be massaged...? " ask Kautsar.

" It's not that. I feel like something's going on in this house, Tsar. I hope it's not something big and scary." said Aruna worriedly.

Kautsar got up and put on his outer clothes that he had just undone to make Aruna wonder.

" Where are you going...?" ask Aruna.

" Prepared.., "said Kautsar.

" Why are you ready to do...?" asked Aruna not understanding.

" Prepare to welcome something you said earlier Aruna. I can't get out of the room without a shirt, can I.e.," said Kautsar quickly.

Aruna smiled and got out of bed. Then he hugged the Kautsar tightly.

" Thank you for taking care of me. I don't know what it would be like if you weren't the one who married me." Aruna said.

" All together. I'm glad I did. And thank you for believing in me and telling me all your misfortune, said Kautsar while peeping Aruna fondly.

For a moment the two hugged each other and Aruna broke her embrace.

" What do we want now...?" ask Kautsar.

" We're out. I want to see what's going on out there." said Aruna.

" Ok, but wear a jacket first. It must be cold outside" Kautsar said, helping Aruna wear a jacket.

Afterwards Kautsar and Aruna came out of the room. They passed through a row of rooms that were all in a tightly closed state.

When they arrived in the middle room they were surprised to see people who 'steady' actually appeared lying on the floor in a random position.

" So this is what happened. Pantesan from earlier my feeling was not good.., " said Aruna while circulating her gaze to the corner of the room.

" But only in this room is this Run. Try to see the santri who najai in the next room. They are just gapapa and look fine" Kautsar said, pointing to the next room where some of the students were reading the Qur'an.

Aruna followed the direction of the Kautsar's index finger and nodded in agreement. Then Aruna looked out when she saw the movement of something out there. Aruna seemed to let out a long sigh because he saw the sighting of Moa in the courtyard of the house.

" Ck, let alone him come here..," muttered Aruna as she stepped towards the courtyard of the house followed by Kautsar.

Apparently the leader of the group of santri was also uncomfortable. Previously he was surprised when he saw the sighting of Moa there. That's why he invites his friends to shift to another room in order to be more focused on teaching.

" Why the Kautsar is with Aruna." murmured Hafiz.

Both Hafiz's eyes were rounded as he saw the sighting of Moa right in front of the Kautsar and Aruna.

" i. Bang Moa, right...?" hafiz said with a trembling voice.

Not wanting anything to happen with Kautsar and Aruna made Hafiz hurry to put the tray containing the snack in front of the santri and then put the hand of the santri leader.

" Why Hafiz...? " ask santri's leader.

" Look at what I saw. It's over there.." said Hafiz, pointing to the ghost of Moa.

" Liat Mas's. So I ngajak temen-temen move to this room so that I can focus more on njai..," said the leader of santri.

" Why should I move...?" ask Hafiz not understand.

" I don't want to be scared. I know if it was a ghost sighting from one of Mas Hafiz's family who died..," said the leader of the santri.

" Lo bener's. Now can you help them by dhikr or praying that the ghost will leave...?" ask Hafiz.

" God willing with Us continue reading the Qur'an will make the ghost feel uncomfortable, afraid, then go Mas..," said the leader of the santri with a smile.

" Thank God. I'll call Grandpa first. Maybe there is something important that wants to be sidelined with the ghost..," said Hafiz.

" Please Mas..," said santri leader.

Hafiz rushed to the inside of the house to wake Grandpa up.

While Aruna began to interact with the ghost of Moa whose appearance looks more like a zombie in the movie Holywood. His face was swollen, with blood draining from his head from Aldi's stone throw. The standing position of Moa's ghost appears slightly bent as if holding something behind his body. His eyes were fixed on Aruna. But sometimes he seems to circulate the view to the corner of the house.

" What do you want...?" ask Aruna.

" Go home..," said the ghost of Moa to make Aruna sigh long.

" Where to go home ?. You're gone, why come back here. This isn't your place anymore. You are different from us" said Aruna.

" Different in nature, you mean I'm dead...?" ask the ghost Moa doubt.

" right...! " a loud voice sahut from behind Aruna and the Kautsar.

Everyone turned to the origin of the voice and was surprised to see Grandpa Aldi standing with his waist shuffled. Beside him was Hafiz who stood upright while holding a bundle of prayer beads.

The santri who was sitting while reading the Quran was disturbed and turned towards Grandpa Aldi. They were confused because at that time Grandpa Aldi was seen staring angrily at an empty place right in front of the Kautsar and Aruna. The santri leader gestured for his friends to continue reading the Qur'an. He hopes to help chase Moa's ghost out of the house.

" Grandfather..," called Moa's ghost and limped towards the Grandfather.

" Stay there, Moa. I wouldn't have a depraved and shameless grandson like you...!" said Grandpa Aldi loudly while expanding his palm forward.

" What does Grandpa mean...?" ask the ghost of Moa.

" I know what you're doing Moa !. You have blackmailed and harassed Aldi. That's just disgusting. If you were alive I would never let you step on my house Moa...!" grandpa Aldi was angry while staring hatefully at the ghost of Moa.

Hearing her grandfather's words made Moa's ghost sad and almost cry. But a moment later Moa's ghost laughed and made everyone who could see her stare resentfully at her.
