241. The Dream of Aruna

After serving at the funeral home, Kenzo decides to take Ria and Aruna back to the office.

" Nanggung very Ken. Why didn't you see Pipit's funeral...?" ask Aruna.

" I still have Run's work. Kan Lo who said this morning this afternoon We have to meet with clients..," said Kenzo relaxed.

" Are you Run...?" ask Ria.

" yes. Sorry I forgot..," said Aruna while grinning.

" So you've found something Run...?" ask Kenzo.

" A lot of Ken, not just one. There are a few clues but I'm confused. It's rich in puzzle pieces, you have to be careful to meet.

" What the hell are you talking about...?" ria asked not understanding.

" Talking something strange at the house of Pipit was Ri..," said Aruna.

" Including the cause of Pipit's death...?" ask Ria.

" Lo also suspected the same cause of death Pipit RI...?" ask Aruna.

" In the beginning, no. But now I'm suspicious. You see, I was not intentionally horrified by the neighbors who spoke of the strange death of Pipit..," said Ria.

" Oh yeah. What the hell were they talking about...?" ask Aruna enthusiastically.

" He said that in the last six months, there have been four toddlers who died in Run. And he said again they were all the children of the rented tenants. It's weird, '" said Ria.

" It's weird and suspect. Isn't that Ken...?" ask Aruna.

" If only he said it could not be said suspicious. Where did you get that info, honey...?" ask Kenzo.

" Said the man beside me. He also said that Mas Angga had data on the death of the four toddlers..," said Ria.

" Who is Ri...?" ask Aruna.

" He's a tenant as well as rich I am. His job, he said journalists. But I don't know exactly what she works in the media and where." said Ria.

" That swan who was sitting next to me was not the one, whose body was thick...?" ask Kenzo.

" Is right. You talked to him too, honey...?" ask Ria.

" slightly. He also talked about the death of toddlers whose distance of death between one and the other was only around forty daily. I'm interested to talk about it but Ustadz Makki came to me earlier..," said Kenzo.

" Oh that's it..," said Aruna, twitching her forehead.

" Why Run...?" ask Ria worried.

" Gapapa, just a little dizzy..," said Aruna.

" When it's not strong, it's better to go home to Run..," said Kenzo.

" It's not necessary. Stop by lunch first yes let the dizziness ilang..," said Aruna.

Aruna's words made Kenzo and Ria look at each other then laugh.

" So the story Lo hungry Run...?" asked Ria in between her laughter.

" Not I but My Son. Lagian Lo both have a lot of heart. Ngajak Mother pregnant way but not given to eat..," grumbled Aruna annoyed.

" Sorry Run, I forgot. Yes, have asked the child Lo want to eat what.", said Kenzo with a laugh.

" Eat what is important healthy..," said Aruna with a smile.

" okay. In front there is a Padang restaurant. We stop there, baby." Pinta Ria.

" Absolute...!" kenzo quickly made Aruna and Ria laugh.

The three also had lunch at the Padang restaurant before continuing the journey to the office.

As usual, Aruna was dreaming. In his dream Aruna saw Luluk and Usi who were visiting Pipit's parents' house. Mum Pipit seemed to welcome the two kindly. They had a serious conversation and Aruna was surprised that Luluk and Usi were talking about Ria.

" Kalo Mbak Ria was very closed. Even though we often hang out on the terrace of his house but not once We are offered a drink or food let alone invited into his house...," said Luluk while chewing the cassava chips served by Pipit's mother.

" That's what Mom is. Ria's mom is tired of work. His home was also quite late in the afternoon and sometimes even late at night as well. So the right time to go home he wants to rest..," said Aibu Pipit sage.

" There is no harm in sitting for a while talking. Couldn't be yes. If you come, close the door immediately. He just stuck a diamond in his house until we can't go in everything..," Usi added.

" Well, I'm not going along. I'm worried about the wrong thing, '" said Pipit's mother.

Suddenly, a pipit called out to his mother.

" Yes...!" call Pipit from the bathroom.

" I'm sorry I stayed a while. Pipit again pup..," said Pipit's mother as she rushed into the house and left Luluk and Usi just like that.

Seeing the opportunity, Luluk and Usi looked at each other and nodded their heads. A moment later the two moved to find something from the drawers of the closet and the shelves in the room.

" Dapet ga Si...?" ask Luluk.

" Dapet Ma'am. There's a nice watch here.." Usi said while showing a woman's watch.

" good. Cepetan simpen..," said Luluk who is subscribed to Usi.

" Your own mother got what...?" asked Usi while whispering.

" Money..," said Luluk with a big smile.

" Yeeeyy.., eat-eat dong Kita..," Usi said as he clapped.

" yes. Ssttt.., here sit down again..," asked Luluk.

Soon afterwards Pipit and his mother were seen coming out of the house. At that time Pipit appeared to have worn the robe and hijab. Apparently Pipit's going to go teach.

" Lho Pipit already want to go njai ya...?" ask Luluk.

" Yes Auntie..," said Pipit while kissing the back of Usi and Luluk's hands alternately.

" Want to be escorted ga...?" ask Usi.

" No need to Ma'am. Let me just..," said Mother Pipit with a smile.

" That's why we're out. Not good in the dalem even though the one who has a house again is not at home. Yes Si..," said Luluk.

" Just Right Mbak..," said Usi quickly.

" I'm sorry to be such a nuisance to the conversation" said Pipit's mother as she closed the door.

" Gapap. We can talk again another time really..," said Luluk.

Suddenly the dream moved. Aruna was confused because she suddenly moved to a quiet and dark place.

There he met Pipit who was running to find a way out. But strangely, Aruna could not reach it. Aruna could only silently stare at Pipit who kept running while crying.

" Ibuuu.. Please Pipit Ma'am...!" call Pipit repeatedly.

Aruna called out to Pipit, but unfortunately his voice only bounced on the spot. Pipit did not hear Aruna's call at all.

" Here Pit. Pipits...!" call Aruna in a loud voice.

Pipits kept running and eventually fell down as his body crashed into something. Pipit tried to get up and raised his head and was surprised when he saw a black figure without clothes and three horns standing before him. The figure of the strange creature seemed to grin and then reached out his hand to catch Pipit.

Pipit's reflexes screamed while crossing his arms over his head while saying something that shocked the creature.

" O God. Please Pipit, God...!" squeals Pipit.

The creature undoes its intention to reach Pipit. The creature was pecking on the spot while staring in disbelief at Pipit. It seems he was confused how a child as small as Pipit could pronounce the pronunciation of 'God' properly and correctly.
