Droplets of Night Creatures

158. Leech Hordes

Rama's daydreams collapsed when he realized the employer's house at that time felt more quiet than usual. Not only because of the absence of the employer's children and wife, but also because there is something that makes Rama shudder a little.

The gripping atmosphere suddenly greeted and it made Rama uncomfortable. He spread his gaze across the page as if trying to find something.

" It's weird, it's so quiet. But the bike is rich. Sepi gripping, even tend to be haunted. It was dark again. There was no wind, sultry but cold. It felt like anyway, until I was confused, ", Rama grumbled and then shifted away from the gate.

As Rama intended to sit by the window, he caught a glimpse of a horde of leeches on the lower wall of the window.

" Tumben is a lot of leeches. If Bu Puri here must have been koit nih leech. She may have something dangerous around her children. Especially here is his favorite place for children..," muttered Rama while shaking his shoulders and looking for another place to sit.

Rama found a comfortable place and intended to sit there. But Rama undoes his intention when he sees a black shadow passing inside the master's house. The shadow is clearly visible because the house is in bright conditions.

" Are who ?. Gini nights roam around the house. Ga maybe Bi Ijah right..," muttered Rama while observing the black shadow that darted rapidly towards the middle room.

Feeling responsible for the safety of the employer's house, Rama rushed into Edi's house through a side door. Before entering Rama had time to take an iron pipe perched behind the door for a handle if needed.

Entering the middle room again Rama was surprised to see a lot of leeches that were flattened on the floor and partially attached to the household furniture belonging to Edi. The number is so much that it makes Rama disgusted. Rama also undoes his intention to pursue the black shadow that he believes as a thief.

" A lot of leeches, if the thief is passing surely the leeches will stick on his body continue to suck his blood. One may not hurt, but many will panic. Meningan I just wait here aja deh..," muttered Rama and sat waiting on the porch of the house.

At that time Rama did not think anything or prejudiced the residents of the house. He felt the presence of leeches in large quantities was a natural thing because the inside of Edi's house was not much exposed to sunlight.

Because tired of waiting Rama also fell asleep in a sitting position until dawn. Rama opened his eyes when he heard the sound of people reading the Qur'an from the loudspeakers in the musholla in the neighborhood where Edi lived.

Shortly thereafter the adhan Subuh was reverberating. Rama got up and walked towards the musholla. On the way he passed by several people who also had the same goal.

After performing the Fajr prayer in the Musholla, Rama returned to the house of Edi. It was at the same time with bi Ijah who came and was opening the gate.

Bi Ijah is a domestic assistant who works part-time at Edi's house. He worked from five in the morning to five in the afternoon. Bi Ijah's main task is cooking and washing clothes. The rest will be done randomly by Rama and other employees.

" Assalamualaikum Bi Ijah" said Rama.

" Wa alaikumsalam, uh Mas Rama..," said bi Ijah with a smile.

" Why don't you go straight into Bi, tumben...?" rama asked because he saw bi Ijah who was still standing in front of the gate.

" No tau Mas. I am afraid to go inside, rich something is not right.., "said bi Ijah.

" Something's wrong, what the hell is Bi...?" rama asked not to understand.

" I'm confused too. Just want to enter I suddenly goosebumps yes. There are ghosts around here" said bi Ijah while looking to the right and to the left restlessly.

" Ck, what the hell is Bi Ijah. There's nothing. I sat all night on the porch but found nothing, " said Rama as he opened the gate.

" Why did Mas Rama sit on the terrace...?" ask bi Ijah.

" Well, why is it...?" tanya bi Ijah did not understand.

" You see, inside the house there are many Bi leeches. A lot until I was disgusted. Therefore than I become a victim of the leeches, I better wait outside. Ntar if the thief comes out will stay I tangkep and serahin same security..," said Rama.

" The Leech of Mas Rama. I often clean my house. There can be leeches. I also diligently spray the room with insect repellent, so where there may be leeches there." said bi Ijah.

" But that's the reality Bi. Time I lied. Why do I make a story, there is no benefit for Me..," said Rama.

" Yes too. Then you know if there are leeches in the house...?" ask bi Ijah.

" That's lucky you don't know. I'm not out of my room from Maghrib until now. Maybe tired and sleeping in the room..," said Rama.

" Keep Mom with the kids how...?" ask bi Ijah.

" The same mother the children go out of town..," said Rama quickly.

" How strange, usually you do not give permission to Mom out..," said bi Ijah.

" Yes, I know Bi. Maybe again khilaf..," said Rama origin.

" Where did Mas Rama get out of town...?" ask bi Ijah again.

" No tau Bi. I can only wait until the terminal. After that Mother and Children enter themselves into the terminal.

Rama and Bi Ijah also entered the yard of the house. The sky started to rise as the sun began to rise. Bi Ijah rushed in through the side door and headed to the kitchen.

But a moment later we heard the screams of bi Ijah. Rama who was turning off the porch lights was surprised and immediately went to bi Ijah.

" What is Bi Ijah...?!" ask Rama loudly.

" A. there is lin. It was there..," said bi Ijah with a trembling voice while his index finger pointed at the stove table.

Rama looks widened his eyes to see a lot of leeches scattered in the kitchen. Not only on the stove table but also on the kitchen wall and all the furniture in the kitchen. The number is estimated to reach hundreds.

The black and wet leech seemed to move wriggling as if it was looking for prey. Bi Ijah seemed to shudder in disgust watching the leeches whose existence and numbers are unusual.

" It's exactly the same rich that I saw last night in Bi's living room." Rama said.

" I'm disgusted to squirm the animals melata rich like Mas. Moreover, leeches suck blood. I have no power to cook. Gapapa scolded the same Father than I was bitten by the same leech..," said bi Ijah while running out of the house.

Rama seemed to frown for a while as if he was thinking how to overcome the leeches. A moment later Rama was seen taking the insect repellent liquid behind the door and sprayed it towards hundreds of leeches that were swarming in the kitchen. Bi Ijah could only watch the action of Rama from outside because he did not dare to approach.
