Droplets of Night Creatures

17. Aunt Beautiful

Aruna was asleep on the sofa in the living room when Arka's parents approached Diana and Arka. They seem to want to talk about something important. Arka's older sister, Arni, escapes from the room with her son and husband to give them a chance to talk.

“ Forgive Mama ya Diana...” said mama Arka opened the conversation while grabbing Diana's fingers.

“ Mom why apologize to me..?” diana asked with a racing heart.

“ Mama apologizes for making you disappointed and hurt. Mama is evil. Instead of supporting you and Arka to have a Child, eh Mama even gave a bad solution by finding a mate for Arka.

“ Mama don't talk rich. I also apologize for defying Mama's orders. I love Arka Ma. I don't want Arka double. Instead of being combined I'd rather be divorced Ma..” Diana said as she lowered her head.

“ Ga, can't. Arka can't divorce you Diana. Mama already love you and do not want Arka to divorce you. So Mama is looking for a simple woman so you don't feel rivaled. Mama thinks simple women will not be much demanding and troublesome you later. Mama doesn't realize that Mama's actions have made you hurt. Sorry yes Dear...,” said mama Arka while hugging Diana tightly.

Getting a gentle treatment from the mother-in-law made Diana moved. The anger and hatred that had reigned in his heart all this time disappeared somewhere. Diana returned the embrace of the in-laws while crying. Arka and her father smile at the sight of the two women they love apologizing to each other.

“ Don't forget to tell Diana if Papa ga agrees with the silly idea of Mama first yes Ma..,” said papa Arka reminded the wife.

“ Ish Papa nih disturbing anyway. Diana and Arka knew it was Mama's idea. So Papa just calm down, Papa's name remains clean in front of them..,” said mama Arka while sneering.

Mama Arka's words made Arka and Diana laugh. Then they turned their gazes towards the sleeping Aruna.

“ So you adopted Aruna from which orphanage..?” ask papa Arka.

“ From orphanage outside the city Pa. Arka assisted friends take care of everything until finally now Aruna is legal to be Our Child.” said Arka who was adopted by Diana.

Arka was forced to lie because she did not want her parents to pry the origin of Aruna. For Arka and Diana everyone just needs to know if Aruna is their child.

\=====

Aruna grew up in the care of Arka and Diana. Sincere affection and good upbringing make Aruna grow into a pleasant child figure. Besides being good, Aruna is also a brave child and likes to help others. Aruna's ability to interact with supernatural beings was increasingly honed along with the age of the little girl. And it's been proven since Aruna was five years old.

One day Arka's parents came to visit Arka's house. Aruna who was accompanied by her nanny named Iza also welcomed their presence.

“ Assalamualaikum Aruna..,” greet both parents Arka.

“ Wa aleikumsalam, Oma. Login yuk...,” says Aruna.

“ Mom and Papa Where is it quiet...?” ask mama Arka.

“ Mama again to the mini market, if Papa again play the same ball with his friends Oma...,” said Aruna while staring out of the house.

“ In a moment also until Oma, I said already on the road..,” said Iza with courtesy.

“ Oh that. What's Aruna doing there..?” mama asked Arka while looking at Aruna who was staring at her place while staring at the doorway.

“ How come Oma ga invited all in..?” asked Aruna to make both Arka's parents and caretaker Aruna surprised.

“ Oma here just the same Opa aja ngajak others Nak. Maybe Aruna was wrong to see..,” said Mama Arka while writhing Aruna's hand and took her into the house.

“ But the beautiful Auntie continues to follow Oma. He also ngeliatin Oma now, kanya no one wants to talk to Oma..,” said Aruna to make the nape of mama Arka bristling.

“ Let Opa take care of later. Now Aruna take Oma inside ya..,” persuade papa Arka to distract Aruna.

“ Ok Opa...,” said Aruna with a smile and then menggamit hands of the Oma.

After Aruna passed, Papa Arka seemed to sigh in relief. He sat in the living room waiting for the return of Arka and Diana. Shortly afterwards Arka and Diana arrived. They immediately approached Papa Arka and kissed the back of his hand with reverence.

“ Have you been a long time Pa...?” ask Arka.

“ Just sampe. Where are you guys from.?” ask papa Arka.

“ Diana nemenin I played soccer Pa. Intentionally did not invite Aruna because she was worried that she was tired and bored there. Papa why is his face so anxious..?” ask Arka.

“ Aruna just saw the sighting of a ghost who followed Mama Kamu Ka. That's one of our goals here. We want to ask Aruna for help so that she wants the ghost. Because lately Mama You often have nightmares and it makes her difficult to sleep. Papa worries Mama will get sick later.” said papa Arka.

Papa Arka's answer surprised Arka and Diana. But they tried to understand and allowed Aruna to help the oma.

“ But if Aruna can not be forced yes Pa...,” pinta Diana carefully.

“ Of Course Nak. Papa also did not want Aruna to get sick because of helping Mama..,” said papa Arka quickly to make Diana smile.

\=====

“ Said Opa, Aruna saw there was a beautiful aunt ngikutin Oma earlier. Is that right, son..?” ask Arka carefully.

“ Yes Pa...,” says Aruna steady.

“ Now Aunt who followed Oma is where..?” ask Arka.

“ Behind Oma Pa...,” says Aruna while pointing behind mama Arka.

“ Please Aruna askin same Aunt that beautiful yes, why the hell do not follow Oma continue..,” pinta Arka.

“ Why don't you ask me directly. Beautiful aunt would want to answer kok..,” said Aruna.

Aruna's answer made all the adults in the room shocked and confused. Diana approached Aruna and spoke carefully to the girl.

“ The thing is Aunty beautiful doesn't look the same as Us Son. Only Aruna can squirm pretty aunt. So only Aruna can chat with a beautiful Aunt.” said Diana as she rubbed Aruna's head gently.

“ Kok Papa same Mama can not squirm Aunty beautiful, do-don't Aunty beautiful is a ghost huh Ma..?” aruna asked with a puzzled face.

“ Here Baby. God gives everyone the same advantages in different ways. For example Papa given the advantages can count quickly, continue Mama given the advantages can cook delicious. But Papa will not be able to cook well because it is not Papa's ability, Mama also can not count quickly because Mama can not. Well if Aruna is given the advantages that are not owned by others including Papa and Mama, which is able to squirm subtle creatures and chat with them. Does Aruna understand..?” ask Diana.

“ Yes Mama...,” said Aruna while nodding.

The way Diana explained what Aruna did not understand made Arka and her parents amazed. Then Diana asked Aruna to ask the purpose and purpose of ‘tante gorgeous’ following the oma.

“ Beautiful aunt says Oma evil..” said Aruna suddenly to make everyone in the room look at Mama Arka.

“ Wicked what, Oma ga ngerti Aruna..,” sahut mama Arka not feeling good.

“ Mmm..., briefly...” said Aruna then fell silent while playing the doll in her hand.

“ Don't-don't you mostly take your parents' inheritance Ma...?” papa asked Arka half-whispering.

“ Indiscriminate. I have given up, Pa. My parents' property is a lot, but I'm just part of the house we live in now. Kan the rest is controlled by his stepson my father..,” sahut mama Arka ketus.

“ Is not his legacy Oma's parents. It's about prayer...,” sela Aruna.

“ Prayer what does it mean, who is that pretty Aunt actually Nak.?” ask mama Arka impatiently.

“ His name is Diah Oma. He said he was an old friend of Oma's. Aunt Diah asks Oma to doain him.” says Aruna.

Aruna's words made Mama Arka cry and it shocked everyone including Aruna.

“ Oh so Diah who recently often stopped by my dreams. Oh God, I'm sorry Diah. I don't know if you're dead. Sorry...,” said mama Arka sad.

“ Aunt Diah died from being beaten with her Husband Oma. His body was thrown into the river. He wriggled Oma as Oma passed near the river and followed Oma until now.” Aruna said.

“ Who Is Ma...?” ask papa Arka curious.

“ Diah the roommate I Pa. She married young because she was betrothed to her parents. After her marriage, Diah was taken by her husband to another city. Since then I and my other friends have never wiggled Diah or heard anything about him. Diah's parents lost her too. So they regret having married Diah the same man.” sahut mama Arka.

“ What after We doain Aunt Diah want to go Nak..?” ask Diana.

“ Yes Ma. Aunt Diah also asked Oma nyampein to her family if she had died.

“ Oma will tell her family soon. Coincidentally Oma has her sister number Aunt Diah..,” said mama Arka.

\=====

The evening of simple studies was held at the house of Arka by inviting an ustadz and some residents around the house of Arka.

After ustadz named Diah as one of the people who prayed, Diah's ghost seemed to smile. Before leaving he thanked Aruna who greeted him enthusiastically.

“ Drugs Beautiful Aunt. Do not be naughty and follow Oma again yaa..” said Aruna while waving her hands with eyes that stared fixed to the door of the house.

Aruna speech is fun while making the fur crouching. Shortly after the departure of Diah's ghost, Arka's mother's body fell to the floor.
