Droplets of Night Creatures

18. Kidnapped Ghost

After almost an hour of unconsciousness finally mama Arka was awake. When she opened her eyes she saw herself surrounded by her husband, son and daughter-in-law who were looking at her anxiously.

“ How Pa, what Diah went..?” asked Mama Arka with a raucous voice.

Hearing the first question of Mama Arka when siuman made the three people who were with each other look at each other and smile understandably.

“ Thank God, said Aruna your friend Diah has gone Ma. He returned calmly to the day of Allah.” said Papa Arka with a smile.

“ Thankful. I can't imagine for decades Diah flirted because no one sent a prayer just because no one knew he had died Pa...,” said mama Arka while wiping the tears that wet her face.

“ Yes Ma. Fortunately there is Aruna who can ‘ngeliat’ the existence of Diah's ghost so we can know what he wants and can help Diah return to his God.

“ How is Aruna doing now, is she fine..?” ask mama Arka.

“ She sleeps after drinking milk Ma. His energy drained out after interacting with the subtle creature.” said Arka.

“ It helps you prepare vitamins or dietary supplements for Aruna so that when he finished interacting with supernatural beings his body is not ngedrop..” said papa Arka.

“ Yes Pa. Arka also wants to try consulting with Ustadz or people who understand the same ability of Aruna let Us know what to do to support Aruna.

“ Good. We do have to deal with the advantages of this Aruna in the right way so that Aruna does not go wrong later.” said papa Arka.

Arka, Diana and Mama Arka also nodded in agreement. While in his room Aruna seemed to smile in his sleep because he saw Diah was stepping while holding the figure of a small child. Diah and the little boy turned to Aruna and smiled as if to thank her for helping to bring them together.

Back to when Aruna had to serve the punishment from the mother for not obeying his words that asked Aruna to wait for Iza to come to pick up at school.

Aruna was lying on her body on the bed. He chanted a prayer before going to sleep and began to close his eyes. On the other hand, Iza was watching Aruna in silence. After making sure Aruna sleeps well, Iza comes out of Aruna's room and returns to her room.

That morning, Aruna's school was shocked by the disappearance of one of the students named Denis. Denis' parents went to school and asked where Denis was, who had not returned home after leaving school two days earlier. The school also contacted police to find Denis.

The guardian of the Aruna class also collected information by asking all the third grade students.

“ Children, you have not heard of Denis' disappearance.?” ask mom Wita.

“ Which fourth grade child is yes Bu..?” ask Kiki one of Aruna's friends.

“ Yes. If any of you see Denis please tell Mom yes..,” pinta bu Wita.

“ Yes Bu...,” sahut third grade students together.

From her seat Aruna looked pensive. It seems like he remembers something. But Aruna refocused on the lesson when the homeroom teacher spoke a little loudly to stop the commotion in her class.

“ Last I squirm Denis again snacking ice cream in front of the school.” said Lisa my colleague Aruna in a soft voice.

“ What time...?” ask Aruna.

“ Back to school. Don't-don't Denis kidnapped a bad person ya Na...” said Lisa worried.

“ Yes time...,” said Aruna reluctantly.

“ Ga maybe, I also saw Denis snack ice cream really. Abis he walked to the left.” said Edo who sat in front of Aruna.

“ Time anyway. Not that he ride ojeg yes..,” said Lisa.

“ No, Denis ga ride ojeg let alone school bus. Denis walks while eating ice cream to the left..!” edo said he would not lose.

“ You guys don't tell me the same. Tell Ms. teacher there, who knows can help find Denis..” said Aruna upset because she saw her two friends arguing in front of her.

Edo and Lisa fell silent and refocused on math. A moment later Aruna pointed her finger until the homeroom teacher approached her.

“ Why Aruna...?” ask Bu Wita gently.

“ Edo same Lisa know something about Denis Bu..,” said Aruna.

“ Oh yes, why not the same story Mom..?” ask Wita while looking at Edo and Lisa alternately.

“ Lisa don't be afraid. A little information is still important. Lisa's mother Edo is not kasian with Denis and his parents, they are confused Denis nyariin. Who knows Denis is also again frightened because he does not know the way home.” said bu Wita to make Edo and Lisa look at each other with pity.

“ Sorry Mom...,” said Edo and Lisa together.

“ Yes, Ibu sorryin. Now you come with me to the teacher's office yuk. The story you see so that the Police Officer who is there can help Denis nyari..,” take bu Wita.

Edo and Lisa nodded and followed the homeroom toward the teacher's room. Fifteen minutes later they returned to class. Then Edo and Lisa refocused on the matter given earlier while Aruna stepped forward to hand over the taskbook to the homeroom teacher.

News of Denis' disappearance also reached the ears of Arka and Diana. Both of them look anxious and feel that Aruna school is not a safe place for their children.

“ Rich We have to find another school for Aruna Pa..,” said Diana.

“ Ga need Ma. Aruna School is pretty good now. In addition to the quality of the lesson is good, it is also not far from home. Don't just because there's one missing student we immediately move to Aruna. That's not wise you know Ma..,” said Arka.

“ But I'm afraid the kidnappers are after Aruna Pa...,” Diana said anxiously.

“ Insya Allah Aruna gapapa Ma. Denis wasn't necessarily kidnapped, Ma. You are calm, there is already a school informer if the Police are trying to find Denis and We are asked to calm down while watching Our Children.” said Arka trying to calm his wife.

“ Relax how the hell, why Papa does not understand the feeling of Mama..,” complained Diana while kneeling her forehead.

“ Denis ain't gone far Ma. Denis was on a vacant lot near the school.” Aruna said suddenly to the surprise of Arka and Diana.

“ Whose word Denis is there Darling..?” ask Arka.

“ I saw for myself Pa...,” said Aruna relaxed.

“ When did you squirm Denis there..?” ask Diana.

“ Two days ago when I was punished by Mama because I did not wait for Bi Iza..,” said Aruna while glaring.

Arka and Diana stared at each other as if trying to equalize their guesses about something.

“ That Aruna saw, Denis again did there..?” ask Arka carefully.

“ Denis again on a big tree while chatting with Mothers.

“ Mothers wear what clothes..?” diana asked in a stifled voice because she was sure that what Aruna saw was the figure of an unseen creature waiting for the empty land.

“ Ga clear, did Bi Iza hooze me to go from there..,” said Aruna.

“ So it means Denis kidnapped a delicate creature dong Pa. Where are there people chatting on the tree especially in the empty land is rich.” said Diana while looking at Arka with a frightened look.

“ Kaya is like Ma. We have to tell the school..,” said Arka.

“ But later they hit Aruna instead. Kasian Aruna Pa's. If they know Aruna can interact with subtle creatures Aruna can be told to be strange.

“ We don't have to tell you this info from Aruna Ma. I'm just calm, let Papa take care of everything. You take care of Aruna just so that it does not go anywhere.” said Arka then rushed to go somewhere leaving Diana and Aruna in the living room.

Diana looked at Aruna with an indecipherable look. Diana was half sorry for punishing Aruna for her mistake.

“ Don't-don't when Aruna was called to the empty land. And just wriggling Denis maybe he intends to help but Iza's hunt comes. Pantesan Iza said that if it fit there Aruna rich again chat with something that did not look like..,” murmured Diana.

“ Mom why dumb...?” aruna asked as she gently patted Diana's arm.

“ Mmm..., what day was Aruna sure to squirm Denis on the tree..?” ask Diana.

“ I didn't know it was Denis Ma. But when the teacher told me about Denis, I wanted the same little boy in the tree. If seen from the back of his body similar to Denis Ma, so I'm sure if it's Denis...,” said Aruna.

“ Yes Allah is very handsome, Denis. How can you be kidnapped with such delicate creatures, Denis naughty indeed son.?” ask Diana.

“ Setau I Denis it's not naughty Ma. The body is fat, so it is often in the same category. But usually Denis just laugh and do not reply to anything. Maybe that day Denis bete again so he did not focus and do not know if the rest of him is sure he went not a human but a ghost.

Aruna's answer made Diana's hair bristle for a moment. Diana was trying to get used to hearing the story of ‘aneh’ Aruna. But he could not do anything every time he had to be wracked with fear like now after hearing Aruna's story.
