Droplets of Night Creatures

187. Vigilant

Aruna rushed to the marketing division to pick up Ria. But when he arrived at the doorstep Aruna saw that the employees of the marketing division were getting a briefing from a woman who Aruna believed to be a substitute manager Madina.

" Well, another briefing. Oh that's the new Manager of Marketing Division. Hmm.., fashionable too. Cool...," muttered Aruna while observing the manager who stood behind her.

Aruna chose nenepi while leaning against the wall. Then he grabbed his phone because he heard a chat message coming into his phone. Aruna smiled as she read her husband's message.

" Lunchtime, don't forget to eat, baby. Don't forget to take me too. Love You..," so the message that Kautsar sent to Aruna.

Agilely Aruna typed a reply sentence for Kautsar.

" Thank you, don't forget to eat either. I want to keep the same with you. Love You too...,"

Reading the message she wrote to her husband made Aruna laugh. Aruna's laughter vanished when she heard the voices of the employees in the marketing division echoing in the room.

" Good Ma'am.," said the employees of the marketing division together.

Aruna turned her head when she heard the employees disbanding. One by one they passed in front of him until it was Ria's turn.

" Sorry yes Run, so late to the cafeteria.", said Ria.

" Gapapa, just relax..," said Aruna.

" Can't relax dong Run. At this time the canteen is full, it is definitely not getting a seat as well. Ck, the manager doesn't have feelings. Briefing time at lunch. You don't know if our stomachs on the yell ask to be filled..," said Ria annoyed.

" Yes, it's weird. Briefing time before lunch. I can't do it in the morning" said Aruna.

" Tau tuh..," said Ria while shaking her shoulder.

Ria and Aruna hurriedly stepped towards the canteen. Not far away, a voice called Aruna to make him surprised not kepalang.

" Aruna, that's Lo...?!" call Kalisha.

Aruna turned her head and pegged at the spot looking at Kalisha who was walking quickly towards her. Next to Aruna looks Ria who stares in disbelief if Aruna knows Kalisha the manager.

" She...?" call Aruna.

" Yes, this is me. How's Run...?" kalisha asked as she shook Aruna's hand and hugged her tightly.

" Thank God be good. You're here...?" ask Aruna.

" Oh yeah. I work here now. The Marketing Run Manager. Great right..," said Kalisha with a sparkling face.

" Well, I salute you, Lo." said Aruna.

" Lo also works here Run...?" kalisha asked while staring out fit that Aruna was wearing.

" Yes..," said Aruna quickly.

" What division...?" ask Kalisha.

" I interned as a secretary at this company Kal..," said Aruna with a smile.

" Oh yeah. Wow, I didn't think that the ignorant Lo could be Run's secretary," Kalisha said with a laugh.

Aruna laughed while glancing at Ria who now showed a dislike face.

" Seneng meets Lo Kal. But I want to go to the cafeteria first with Ria. You know Ria too...?" ask Aruna.

" Know dong. Ria's an intern here too Run. So you're from the same college, huh...?" kalisha asked while glancing at Ria.

" Yes..," said Aruna.

" Well, I never thought I'd see Lo again in a much different situation. Unfortunately Ria was impatient to go to the cafeteria, so our chat was forced to break up here deh..," Kalisha said as she glanced at Ria.

" Ok, please you guys go on, next time we talk again Yes Run..," Kalisha said with a smile.

" God willing, I go first Kal." said Aruna while holding Ria's arm and hurried to leave Kalisha.

Ria seemed to sigh in relief because she could escape from Kalisha. The two were silent and said nothing until they arrived at the cafeteria.

They did have to wait for a moment to sit down because it alternated with other employees.

" I just caught a scratch earlier..," said Ria opened the conversation after a long silence.

" Ketar ketir why...?" ask Aruna.

" Kirain Gue Lo will take him to lunch with Kita Run..," said Ria.

" Maybe he is not someone who makes you uncomfortable" said Aruna.

" Thank you, you still think about my feelings" said Ria while hugging Aruna.

" Together with Ria..," said Aruna with a sweet smile.

Then Aruna and Ria sat in one of the places that had just been empty.

" You guys have been together, too, it's been a long time...?" asked Ria while starting to eat the food she ordered.

" Kalisha was my classmate at Ri High School. We're not very close. Just a few times during group work together. She used to hate me, but after knowing each other she realized she had no reason to hate me. And since then I've been friends with him" Aruna said.

" Oh that. Does he know Kautsar who is the star of the school...?" ria asked while looking at Aruna.

" Must know. The kautsar was very popular first. It's only I don't know if he's the star of the school" said Aruna with a shy smile.

" Ck, it's Lo's own fault that you don't want to slang with each other and find information about the school that Lo will enter.", said Ria while clucking.

Aruna laughed remembering her stupidity. Ria also laughs when Aruna first met Kautsar until now the two are married.

" Eh, does Kalisha know that Kautsar married Lo Run...?" ask Ria.

" Mmm.., he has not yet..," said Aruna.

" However. Emang Lo gagundang him at the reception the other day...?" ask Ria.

" It is intentional that many Ri people. Males explained to them the reason why I married young..," said Ria while shaking her shoulder.

" If Kalisha doesn't know, it means he can have a crush and even chase Kautsar. Especially now that Kautsar is cool..," said Ria trying to provoke.

" Don't stir up my emotions, I'm Ri. I know for a long time that not only did Kalisha like Kautsar. So I'm immune.." said Aruna.

" yes. But the situation is different now. You used to be able to cue because Kautsar was nobody Lo. But now Kautsar's Husband Lo. Is Lo still going to be diem if you look at other women deket-deket and try to woo Kautsar..," said Ria while staring at Aruna sharply.

Aruna gasped and looked back at Ria. He began to think of Ria's words that were indeed worthy of being heard.

Aruna seemed to tighten her hand on the spoon being used as if channeling her worry. Ria smiled then patted Aruna's arm gently.

" I'm sure the Kautsar is loyal. But there's no harm in keeping watch of Run. Moreover, feeling I said Kalisha is not a good person now. He could justify any means to get his wish. And I understand now why from the beginning I did not like to squirm him..," said Ria half-whispering.

" Yes Ri. Thanks for the ngingetin. I'm also not comfortable writhing Kalisha now. In the future I will be more careful when I meet him..," said Aruna.

Ria smiled as she heaved a sigh of relief from successfully reminding Aruna.
