Droplets of Night Creatures

264. The Natural House

Aruna, Kautsar and doctor Sheina decide to go to the house of the late Alam the next day. Right after Doctor Sheina finished the task.

" What doctor gapapa if directly go. Is the doctor tired of the night service...?" aruna asked as he and Kautsar met in the hospital parking lot.

" God willing I am Aruna. I couldn't even rest since last night because I kept thinking about Nature. Maybe after this I can rest and sleep well..," said Dr. Sheina with a smile.

" alright. So please show me the way, Alam..," Aruna pinta while staring at the spirit of Nature who stands beside Doctor Sheina.

" A minute Aruna. Can Nature get out of here ?. Didn't you say he was stuck here...?" ask doctor Sheina doesn't understand.

" He's trying to leave because you're a doctor" Aruna said.

" Because of me, what does Aruna mean...?" ask Dr. Sheina confused.

" Where Doctor Sheina is there is Nature. He likes you, maybe more. And it was that feeling that made him rise up against the shackles that had bound him all this time" said Aruna.

" It doesn't make sense, but I'm trying to understand. Thanks to Nature..," said Doctor Sheina as she stared at the empty place where she believed Nature was there.

" Together.., "say the spirit of Nature with a sweet smile.

" Ehm, Alam said both doc..," Sheina said to make the doctor Sheina moved and joined in smiling.

" Now let's reveal the cause of your suffering so that you can leave in peace, Alam..," said Dr. Sheina.

The spirit of Nature nods its head at the words of Doctor Sheina. A moment later he was seen drifting out of the Hospital area. Kautsar and Doctor Sheina immediately forward their vehicles to follow the spirit of Nature according to Aruna's direction.

Aruna, Kautsar and Doctor Sheina arrive in front of a large, seemingly uninhabited house.

Aruna got off the motor and pressed the bell in front of the gate many times but no one came out to meet them.

" Empty Lam...?" ask Aruna.

" There should be people, it is still very early in the morning." said the spirit of Nature.

" Please check into the house, there may be people but not the sound of bells..," pinta Aruna.

" There's nobody in there Aruna. I've been sniffing earlier..," said the spirit of Nature.

" How do we get inside if no one opens the door...?" ask Aruna.

Suddenly two men approached them while greeting them.

" Search who's Ma'am...?" ask the man who is a neighbor of Nature named Sulaiman.

" Find Nature Pak..," said Aruna quickly.

Kautsar and Doctor Sheina seem surprised to hear Aruna's answer. Both of them looked at Aruna closely because they did not understand why Aruna answered like that. But Aruna looks indifferent and both of them are just waiting for how the man before them reacts.

" Mas Alam has no Ma'am..," said Sulaiman with a sad face.

" What's wrong, sir...?" ask Aruna pretending not to know.

" Mad Alam is dead. This has entered a hundred days if I have not miscalculated..," said the man who later became known as the head of RT in the neighborhood where Nature lived.

" Nature died...?!" asked Aruna pretending to be surprised.

" I'm a distant cousin of Alam Sir. Four months ago I played a few days here before I went abroad. I do not know anything about the death of Alam because no one ngabarin..," said Aruna.

" That means Ma'am tau dong if Alam was sick at that time...?" ask Sulaiman.

" Yes Sir. At that time I came here to say thank you for going to work abroad. Pantesan lately I often dream strange about Nature. Apparently it's a sign that Alam has gone yes," said Aruna sadly.

" It could mean he said goodbye to Ma'am through a dream. Did you try the phone to his house Ma'am...?" ask Sulaiman again.

" It's Sir. But no one ever answered. The time of his phone I call also can not..," said Aruna quickly to make the spirit of Nature smile to see the skill of Aruna lying.

" Well how else, Ma'am. I was a confused neighbor to wriggle his family Alam. His family is good, but a bit closed that..," said the RT chairman in a soft voice.

" That's yes. Because Nature died, what, sir...?" ask Aruna.

" I don't know for sure because his family didn't say anything when asked. When Alam's body was at home, I saw his family was also not much present. The funeral is also rich in a hurry to know why. That's why it's the talk of the people here Ma'am. Especially a week after the Alam family moved to leave this house just like that.," said the head of RT.

Suddenly the gate of the house of Nature opened by itself. Kautsar, Doctor Sheina and the two men were surprised not to see the gate open slowly in a noisy voice. While Aruna looks relaxed because it knows that Nature has opened the gate.

" Well, it can open on its own. Let alone the arrival of Mbak has indeed been awaited by the late Alam. Kan Mbak said earlier if Mbak sepet nginep here and say goodbye before going abroad.., "sulaiman said while staring into the yard of Alam's house.

" So can I go inside Sir...?" ask Aruna carefully.

" There's a need for what's Ma'am to go inside...?" ask the RT chief.

" There's my stuff that's missing sir. I wish I could still find that stuff. Dear ones if it is destroyed. Better I save and who knows useful later..," said Aruna.

" alright. I'm still here watching over you. This is my responsibility as an environmental administrator" said the RT chairman.

" Yes sir, thank you. This is My Husband and My Cousin. They will also come with me into the house. If you're going to send someone to watch over us, we don't mind" Aruna said.

" Sulaiman sir will follow them into the house ?. I wait here so that no other citizens try to break through later," said the RT chairman.

" Good sir, I will come inside..," said Sulaiman steady.

Then the four men entered the courtyard of the house of Nature. They seemed to shake their heads at the condition of the house and the unkempt yard. Although only abandoned for a few months, but the condition of the house Nature like a house that has been abandoned for years. It looks dirty and ruined in some parts.

The spirit of Nature shows the way and continues to drift towards the side of the house where the room used to be.

But Aruna's steps stopped because he saw a small stone statue next to the house. Around the stone statue were seen dried flowers strewn about. If viewed from the shape and color can be ascertained if there is someone who deliberately put the flowers there.

" These are still fresh lords, dear." whispered Kautsar as he touched the dried flowers scattered on the ground.

" right. There may be someone who comes and does something here" said Aruna.

" Something what do you mean Aruna...?" ask doctor Sheina doesn't understand.

" Sort of a perverted docking ritual, because there are remnants of sajen and flowers around this stone statue. And this can be ascertained laid not long ago, maybe about a day or two ago." said Aruna.

" O God. I'm so scared of Run. Let alone the death of Nature be not as simple as it seems. I thought that this had something to do with mystical things. Am I right Run...?" ask Dr. Sheina with a huff.

Not yet Aruna answered the question of Doctor Sheina, the spirit of Nature looks in pain to surprise Aruna.
