Droplets of Night Creatures

225. Adelia

After hearing and witnessing the attitude of all the residents of the boarding house towards the late Adelia, now it is Aruna's turn to ask the spirit of Adelia.

" So what they're saying is the truth, isn't it...?" ask Aruna.

" Yes..," said the spirit of Adelia while bowing her head.

" I didn't think you could have that sort of arrogant attitude Adelia..," Aruna said as she stared at Adelia's clingy spirit.

" I'm sorry Aruna..," said the spirit of Adelia.

" What's the point of regretting now Adelia !. You have hurt many with the beauty that God has bestowed on you. What is the use of being beautiful if your heart is like the devil." said Aruna Ketus.

" I.., I can't accept that Ari likes Tika better. I'm prettier than Tika. All the men admire me. Why did Ari reject me...?!" screams of the spirit of Adelia.

" Because Ari saw beauty from a different side Adel..," said Aruna as she slowly walked away from Suryo's boarding house.

Adelia's spirit seemed stunned to hear Aruna's words. He realized that he had mistakenly considered physical beauty more than anything else. He forgot to decorate his physical beauty with good manners and ethics.

Because of the Kautsar's help Aruna could easily jump over the boarding house fence without a sound. Adelia's spirit chased Aruna who now seemed to step away from the boarding house.

" I just want to be loved sincerely Aruna. I have never found a man who truly sincerely loves me regardless of my body" said the spirit of Adelia.

" It's hard Adelia. But let me tell you. The true beauty of a woman will be radiated when she has a kind heart and a compassionate soul towards others. The thick makeup you wear can wear off. But the sincerity of your heart will radiate out even when you do not use make up..," said Aruna.

" You mean Ari rejected me and looked me one eye because she thought I was just exposing beauty...?" ask Adelia.

" Maybe..," said Aruna.

" Tika doesn't like to wear makeup. He prefers to keep all his problems to himself. In addition, Tika is friendly, likes to smile and likes to help others. Is that the pretty side that Ari sees from Tika...?" ask Adelia.

" Maybe..," said Aruna again.

" Why do you always answer maybe Aruna...?" ask Adelia's spirit to be upset.

" Because I'm not Ari. I don't know what's on Adel's mind...!" sergeant Aruna is upset.

The Kautsar who had been silent at the time listened to Aruna's words which he believed were aimed at the spirit of Adelia turned his head.

" Why Honey...?" ask Kautsar.

" Gapapa, I'm just going a little bit." said Aruna with a smile.

" You said Ari. Which Ari do you mean Honey...?" kautsar asked a little jealous.

Aruna looked like she was breathing a long breath. She remembers how adelia managed to destroy other people's relationships during her life.

" You're grinning to see Me and My Husband fighting Adelia ?!. Because of the name Ari that you call that now My husband even suspected the same Me. You are satisfied now...?!" ask Aruna loudly.

" I'm sorry Aruna. This time I have no rich intentions. Trust me.." said the spirit of Adelia frightened.

" Dear, I'm sorry, yes" called Kautsar while gently rubbing Aruna's back.

Aruna looked at the Kautsar and smiled.

" It's not your fault, honey. Sorry to make you misunderstand me. But the richness I'm backing away from I have to fight with you because of him.", said Aruna to surprise the spirit of Adelia.

" Don't stay in I'm Aruna. Please help me get back Aruna. Please help me." pinta pawah Adelia.

" You are horrified by yourself how disappointed your friends are for your attitude. You are beautiful is your plus. That's why you're the campus prima donna. But because of your beauty, you forget and underestimate others who are not as beautiful as you. Do you forget that if you underestimate them, it means that you also underestimate Allah, the Creator who also created You Adelia." said Aruna Ketus.

" I was wrong !. I know I was wrong Aruna !. I'm not going to get revenge or anything like all of them. I forgive them Aruna. Really...!" said Adelia's spirit while crying.

" alright. I'll try to help you. Now please go. Stay away from me for a second Adelia. I need some room to breathe. You know I'm pregnant with Adel, and this is making me tired. Very tired, ." said Aruna.

" Good Aruna. I'll give you time. But please do not take too long Aruna..," said the spirit of Adel while drifting away from Aruna.

Aruna let out a long sigh while looking at the distant spirit of Adelia. Suddenly he remembered how Adelia claimed that the baby in her womb was her family. When Aruna wanted to ask that, Adelia's spirit was no longer seen, disappeared somewhere.

The next day Aruna and Kautsar again try to help Adelia's spirit to cross to where it should be.

" But I still have one unanswered question with Adelia." said Aruna.

" What question...?" ask Kautsar.

" Why the first time we met in a dream Adelia claims that Our Child is her family. That's what makes me curious. But the more I come here I observe Adelia is also completely different from the woman in my dream, dear.

" Now they are two different people, dear." guessed Kautsar.

" It could be. Maybe there were two people who wanted to be in my dream. It was among the most powerful of them that finally came true in my dream. It doesn't make sense, but it's the truth" Aruna said.

" I agree with your opinion. So what next ?. What else do you want to do, baby...?" ask Kautsar.

" Adelia it's time to go home. There's no one to hold him here. He was held back simply because of his unrequited love for the man named Ari.

" Aren't you curious about the man named Ari, Aruna...?" ask Kautsar.

" Why should I be curious. Not all men like beautiful women. Anyway if I become a guy I also will not choose Adelia to be my partner..," said Aruna.

" Oh yeah. Why the...?" ask Kautsar curiously.

" Less sreg aja..," said Aruna quickly without wanting to explain the reason.

Kautsar smiled at his wife's reply. Soon he saw Aruna standing up as if to welcome someone.

Apparently the spirit of Adelia came back with a sad face. Aruna asks what makes Adelia's spirit sad.

" Look over there." said Adelia, pointing to a place where Tika was talking to a man.

" That's Tika. Is the man with her Ari...?" ask Aruna carefully.

" yes. I can accept Aruna's death. But I can't accept Ari squirming with other women let alone Tika..," said Adelia's spirit sad.

" Let me help.." said Kautsar suddenly who was taken by Aruna.

" Ok thank you, honey. Please match Ari as much as you can. And you Adelia, follow my Husband. He'll help you figure out how Ari really feels about you and Tika." Aruna said.

" Well, thank you Aruna..," said the spirit of Adelia and then floated following the Kautsar.
