Droplets of Night Creatures

224. Deal

Aruna and Kautsar stop just outside the fence of Suryo's boarding house. At that time the atmosphere looked quiet and dark. Aruna tried to sniff something around outside the fence to make the Kautsar frown.

" What are you looking for, honey...?" whispered Kautsar.

" The spirit said Adelia there was a strange scented cloth thrown around here. The cloth is a wrapping cloth that the killer made to wrap the poison he sprinkled in his drink Adelia.

" Keliatan ga, if you don't use a flashlight yes..," Kautsar said.

" Don't do it, it will attract people's attention later. We will investigate this again secretly..," said Aruna.

" okay. Don't go far, I'm looking over there" said Kautsar, who is a member of Aruna.

Soon Aruna found a purple patch of cloth between the grass. The half-meter-long fabric with a width of 20cm looked a little shabby. As Aruna brought the piece of cloth closer to her nose, there was a pungent smell that came out and made Aruna cough.

" That's Aruna's cloth...!" the spirit of Adelia.

" Then you want some of this cloth Del...?" ask Aruna.

" Put the cloth near the window, Aruna. My killer will panic when he sees that later." said the spirit of Adelia.

" Ok..," said Aruna.

Kautsar approached Aruna because he saw his wife find something. After Aruna said Adelia's request, Kautsar jumped into the courtyard of the boarding house and placed the purple cloth near the window.

Inside the room there are several residents of the boarding house (all women) are relaxing while chatting in the living room. Some others seem to be engrossed in reading books, watching television, and even playing games on their phones.

One of them accidentally looked at the window and was surprised to see a piece of purple patch wedged in the window. There was nothing there before.

" Eh, what a rag. I know you're there. Who's naro, huh...?" ask Katty.

Everyone looked in the direction Katty meant. One of them named Tika looked surprised and his face immediately paled. He did not move from his place when other friends tried to approach the window to observe the object up close.

" What a fabric, try to take it." said several people at the same time.

" You don't have to, it's just a used cloth that doesn't make it.." said Tika.

" It's precisely because it's used cloth, so it disturbs the scenery when it is diibiarin there Tika..," said Katty.

" Yes..," said Ami.

Then Katty intended to take the cloth. But when he tried to pull the purple cloth as if attached tightly to the window glass.

" Let alone, why be on the ribet anyway..," said Tika annoyed but ignored by his friends.

No one managed to pull the cloth. Until finally they held a kind of bet, for anyone who managed to pull the cloth then the room will be cleaned for a week.

Hearing that, they scrambled to pull the purple cloth but failed. Tika would not want to join the bet because it was forced by his friends.

As Tika grabbed the tip of the purple cloth, something happened that shocked everyone. There was a piece of the woman's hand that was holding the other end of the cloth. So that it was clear Tika and the disembodied hands were scrambling to pull the tip of the purple cloth.

Katty, Tika and her friends also screamed at the sighting of the hand piece. They also retreated regularly with frightened faces.

" You saw what I saw, too...?" ask Katty.

" yes. There was a woman's hand following megang the end of the cloth..," said Ami.

" But there's no body, is there...?" ask Katty to make sure.

" Yes..," said everyone together.

Only Tika was voiceless and she looked fixed without a word. That of course made the hostesses confused and began to question him.

" Lo Gapapa Tik, Lo why...?" ask a few people at the same time.

" I'm not the culprit, am I not." said Tika, shaking her head.

" Lo said what the hell Tik. What do you mean Lo...?" ami asked while shaking Tika's body.

Tika also turned to look at Ami with a pushy look. His mouth was stirring with words that everyone did not understand.

" He started, he started !. If only he hadn't spread slander I wouldn't have missed him...!" tika screams to the surprise of everyone.

" Tik's story is slow, don't rush to let us all understand..," said Ami.

Tika raised her face and slowly flowed the story from her mouth.

" It's about Adelia. People say Adelia is beautiful, I know that. But he was not searogan that..," said Tika began the story.

" Don't tell me if Lo was involved with the death of Adelia ya Tik..," said Ami riled.

" Let me finish my story, I'm Mi. After that it's up to you to say what. Can't you...?" tanya Tika lirih's.

" Tau nih Ami, justin Tika complete the story. Pake cut everything. No fun Lo..," said the hostess while glancing at Ami.

" Yes yes sorry. Yes, I have continued Tik..," said Ami while crossing her arms.

" The first time I entered this hostel I met his nephew Pak Suryo whose name was Mas Ari. Honestly, I like him. He also likes me too. But Adelia came and screwed things up. Adel slandered Gue in front of Mas Ari and said that I am a girl who can be invited to where they are paid. At first I didn't know that. But when Mas Ari nyindir Gue right in front of my eyes, I realized and what he meant. I have also tried to explain all the same Mas Ari but it is free. Adelia's speech was already up to her ears..," said Tika sadly.

" Don't think Adelia was that bad.." Katty muttered, shaking her head.

" What makes me hurt, Adelia ngelakuin it because she does not want anyone to rival her in getting the attention of men. Lately I know that Adelia once felt the same way Mas Ari but was rejected. He was angry because Mas Ari said he was more interested in the same I who according to Adelia was not beautiful and not the same level as him." said Tika again.

" So on...?" ask Ami impatiently.

" I have Adelia. I put poison in his drink. And the poison was before I wrapped the purple cloth. When I naro the poison in his glass, I see him again in the mirror. Adelia who is always proud of her physical beauty so off-guard and did not pay attention to the drink. An hour after drinking that he had a seizure and died, '" Tika said, crying.

" Inna Lillahi wainna ilaihi roji'uun..," said everyone together.

" Lo very evil Tik..," said Ami did not believe.

" I didn't intentionally admit it. I'm kesel because she's too arrogant about her beauty. I...," Tika's speech was interrupted as Katty cut quickly.

" I don't like Adelia either !. He said I'm fat and not worth my girlfriend. She compared herself to me in front of my girlfriend until I finally got my boyfriend to send me in front of her eyes" Katty said, to everyone's surprise.

" Aadel is that bad...?" ask Ami.

" yes. But gapapa. I'm grateful because I finally know that my boyfriend is not in love with me. He just wants to benefit the money I just..,." Katty said quickly.

" But what Adelia did could not be justified Kat..," said the hostess.

" yes. But now he will not be able to do it again because the body he is proud of has been eaten by worms..," said Katty with a cynical smile.

Everyone was silent without being able to say anything. While behind the window looks Aruna, Kautsar and the spirit of Adelia listen to everything carefully.

" I really don't like Adelia either." said Ami suddenly.

" What's he doing Mi...?" ask Tika.

" He always thought that the eyes of all men were created just to admire him. Adelia even did not hesitate to tell me to step aside when there was a cool guy that I assessed passed in front of Kita.", said Ami with a wry smile.

" What did he say when he told Lo to step aside Mi...?" ask Tika.

" Said I don't need to care if the guy will look at me. Adelia also said, if there is a guy who has a crush on me because the guy had rejected and had no choice but to be the same as I.

" It turns out Lo was also a victim of his attractiveness, Adel Mi...?" ask Katty and be taken by Ami.

" So when I squirm he died so rich, in my heart I cheered with excitement. I'm wrong if Adelia's ngarepin dies...?" ask Mia in despair.

All the hostesses stared at each other in confusion. But a second later they shook their heads simultaneously.

" Let this secret be kept forever. Because I'm sure all of you also have a slightly rich grudge that I, Tika and Ami are naturally. Aren't you...?" ask Katty.

" Yes..," said all the host.

" So let's agree on this secret yes..," Katty said as she extended her hand with all the hostesses.

From where it stands the spirit of Adelia can watch all the residents of the boarding house cupping each other's palms as a form of agreement.
