Droplets of Night Creatures

247. Waiting Passage

Elsewhere Kenzo looked agitated. Many times he glanced at the clock on his wrist to ascertain what time it was. Alex who was sitting in front of him also observed Kenzo's attitude while frowning.

" It's so upset Ken. Wait what the hell is Lo...?" ask Alex.

" It's time for a break, but Ria hasn't called me. From this morning I had chat plus all telephon. This is strange because he is usually rich gini.., "said Kenzo.

" Kirain fuck. He doesn't know about Ria." Alex said, laughing, making Kenzo blush.

" Ck, Lo don't know what it's like to worry about thinking about someone we love. So find a girlfriend there to know what it's like." said Kenzo.

" It's not necessary. I want to go straight because I'm quite interested in Lo's secretary. What's Aruna called, huh...?" ask Alex.

" Yes Aruna. I saranin Lo do not mess with him if he does not want to get a raw bogem Her husband who is a fight guy..," said Kenzo relaxed.

" What !. Aruna is married...?!" ask Alex not to believe it.

" Yes, even now she is pregnant with her first child." said Kenzo.

" Duh, why every time you meet a suitable girl there is always a barrier. If you have a fiancee, you have a husband. It's really true, I.e.," Alex said, patting her on the forehead.

Kenzo laughed at Alex. Suddenly his phone rang and Kenzo smiled as he saw Ria's name on his phone screen. Kenzo immediately received the call but was surprised to hear a strange voice across the phone.

Kenzo tries to sharpen his hearing and stays in place because the call just ends.

" Sorry Lex, I have to go now" Kenzo said as he stood up.

" Ok gapapa. I can't keep Lo from leaving, either, Ken. Instead of Lo stay here but Lo's mind somewhere, we better find another time to meet and discuss our cooperation.

" Thanks Bro. Insha Allah our cooperation can continue and mutual benefit huh..," said Kenzo while shaking Alex's hand.

" Aamiin..," said Alex.

" I'll tell you later if everything's ready, Lex. I'm going first, Assalamualaikum...! " kenzo said as he hurriedly stepped towards the parking lot.

" Alaikumsalam. May the business that hinders Lo be finished yes Ken..," murmured Alex as he stared at Kenzo's departure with a sincere look.

Kenzo arrives at the company and runs straight to the Marketing Division in search of Ria. But Kenzo was disappointed not to find Ria there.

" Ria said she wanted to go home for a while, sir. He said at the time of entry he was here. But until this hour Ria has not returned as well..," said one of the employees of the Marketing Division.

" Go home to the house or the inn...?" ask Kenzo.

" I don't know for sure, sir..," said the employee.

" Yes, thanks for the info. Now you can continue your work" said Kenzo as he passed.

Then Kenzo rushed into the elevator to his room. There he opened the door violently to the surprise of Aruna.

" Astaghfirullah aladzim., Kenzo !. Ngagetin is Lo...!" aruna said loudly while holding her chest to neutralize her surprise.

Kenzo ignored Aruna's words. He immediately sat down in front of Aruna and it made Aruna confused.

" Sorry release. What's the matter, Mr. Kenzo...?" ask Aruna who should get used to being formal during work hours.

" Ria fell into the trap Run..," said Kenzo.

" Trap into what that means. Please tell me Ken, don't confuse dong...!" aruna panicked.

" So I got a phone call from Ria. But when I lift up there is no sound Run. I just heard the sound of the growling of wild animals and the moaning of Ria. Samar but I'm sure it was Ria. The phone disconnected after a few seconds." said Kenzo with teary eyes.

Aruna was surprised and straightened up. He believes that Kenzo's words are true because even today he has not met Ria.

" Said the employee in the Marketing Division, Ria said she came home for a while. She also doesn't know where Ria's going. But if from the phone earlier I'm sure that now Ria is in the rented house Run. Honestly, I'm afraid to go there alone. So I'm talking about this with Lo, you only have a solution how to pick up Ria from there..," said Kenzo.

" I can't go there by myself, Ken. Kautsar has forbidden me to go without someone." said Aruna.

" There's a I'm Run. You're not alone" said Kenzo impatiently.

" Can't Ken. I can only go there with Om George and Aunt Matilda..," said Aruna quickly.

" Yes already that Lo telephon Om same Aunt Lo and ask them nemenin We go there now Run...!" kenzo said half forcefully.

" Can't Ken. They are not in Jakarta now. They're just back in the night" said Aruna because she remembered her promise to meet George tonight.

" How do dong go. I'm worried that Ria is being whacked by the creature Run.", said Kenzo riled.

" Calm Ken. There's one way to help Ria while Om George and Aunt Matilda come along" Aruna said.

" What's Run...?" ask Kenzo curiously.

" Dhikr and Ken's prayer. That's the only way, '" said Aruna steady to surprise Kenzo.

Kenzo seemed to lean his body against the back of the chair and rubbed his face violently.

" Simple way that is often overlooked by people who run. Oh God, why can I forget.." said Kenzo regretting himself.

" Gapapa Ken, it's not too late. We start from now. Do you pray Dzuhur not yet...?" ask Aruna.

" No, I'm really afraid to think about this from Run..," said Kenzo timidly.

" Gih Ken prayer. It's two o'clock past. Don't forget to doain Ria ya..," pinta Aruna with a smile.

" Ok, thank you Run." said Kenzo as he gently patted Aruna on the shoulder.

" Together.., "said Aruna.

Kenzo got up from his seat and rushed into his room. After abudhu Kenzo also performed Dzuhur prayer in his study. Seemed solemn and full of passion.

Kenzo's long recitation and prayer for Ria's salvation. There was a single tear that fell on her cheek while she remembered Ria's groaning across the phone earlier.

Meanwhile Aruna is trying to call George and Matilda. He intended to tell all of Kenzo's stories.

Soon a big wind came greeting and Aruna knew that George and Matilda had come to fulfill her call.

" What's up, kid, why do you look so anxious...?" ask Matilda.

" We're crying Auntie. Ria is in the hands of the creature now..," said Aruna riled.

" Oh yeah...?" matilda asked as she looked at her husband.

" Your friend is reckless, son. He came there alone just now" said George flatly.

" So what can we do now, Om...?" ask Aruna.

" There is nothing we can do now but wait until the sky is dark." said George resigned while shaking his head.

" What does that mean Ria will be with the creature all day Om...?" ask Aruna.

" Forced. If he's smart, he can buy time. If not, I can't guarantee that he'll come out alive." said George.

Aruna blinked her eyes after hearing George's reply. There is a sense of regret in Aruna's heart considering that Ria has dared to violate the message she gave.
