Droplets of Night Creatures

268. Whose Shadow ?

That afternoon the homes of both parents of Nature look crowded with residents. Apparently there is a division of basic food and food in order to commemorate the hundred days of the death of Nature.

The residents who received the gift of Alam's parents also looked happy. Although they did not know the late Nature, they were convinced that Nature was a good young man. As an expression of gratitude, the residents also happily say a line of prayers for Nature and her parents.

The number of citizens who get rations of groceries and food makes the flowing prayer even more.

The prayer that was given unwittingly had violated Nature's parent's covenant with the 'lord'. And at the same time the sincerely chanted prayer actually has a good impact on the spirit of Nature that is still held in the Hospital.

That afternoon Aruna, Kautsar and Doctor Sheina managed to get the spirit of Nature across and go where it should be.

The atmosphere of haru was created when the spirit of Nature got help in the form of light which is the incarnation of the sincere prayers of the citizens who flowed for him. Nature who was initially held back by something also felt her body as loose and light. The originally closed door of light seemed to open wide as if ready to welcome the presence of Nature.

" I saw the light of Aruna. Does that mean I can go now...? " ask the spirit of Nature with a choked voice.

" Yes Nature. If you see a hole of light up there it means you can go." said Aruna.

" You know Aruna, I can't believe that the door of light is so bright. The colors that surround it are also very beautiful. More beautiful than any light I have ever seen," said the spirit of Nature with teary eyes.

" Yes Nature, I believe it. Now go, you have not much time. Go away and don't come back" Pinta Aruna.

" Good Aruna. Thank you for helping me and uncovering the motive behind my death. I sincerely accept everything Aruna. Give my greetings to your Husband as well" said the spirit of Nature.

" Everything is Equally Natural. My husband and I are glad to be able to help you." said Aruna smiling as she linked her fingers with Kautsar fingers.

" And to Doctor Sheina. Thank you for making me happy with your sincere concern. If I could choose time, I would like to be with you until the end of life. Having you and aging with you. I love you more than you know. Sorry if your presence makes you uncomfortable" said the spirit of Nature with teary eyes.

" Don't say it's Nature. I'm happy to know you and to talk to you about so many things. If I could also choose a time, I'd like to always be with you Nature. Go through it all together and I'll make sure you won't be lonely..," said Dr. Sheina with a trembling voice to make the spirit of Nature smile.

" It's good to hear there's a woman who accepts me and is willing to be with me. Thank you Doctor Sheina. Now it's time for me to go. Take good care of yourself and goodbye" said the spirit of Nature as her body began to be covered in light.

" Goodbye Nature..," said Doctor Sheina as she waved her hand.

Smiles appear to decorate the face of Nature. The light that surrounded his body was slowly pulling Nature upward, continuing upward and higher. Then a few seconds later the body of Nature was drawn into that hole of light and vanished into it.

" Thank God," said Aruna with a long sigh.

" Why does it feel so light and easy, honey, is there someone who helps us...?" kautsar asked as he rubbed the sweat on Aruna's forehead with his palm.

" Mmm.., it seems that some are sending prayers to Nature. What I feel is more than one. Maybe that's what makes our work feel light and easy" said Aruna.

" Thank God. That means a lot of people who love and care about Nature other than Doctor Sheina..," Kautsar said as he glanced at the doctor Sheina who was wiping tears on her cheeks.

" Are you all right, Doc...?" aruna asked as she approached Sheina's doctor.

" I'm gapapa Aruna. I love hearing so many who care about Nature and pray for her. Because it turns out it could help Nature get out of here faster. Although honestly I feel sad because I have to lose him..," said Dr. Sheina with a wry smile.

" Well, now we can sleep well because Nature is already where it should be" Aruna said.

" You're right Aruna. I also need to rest and relax for a moment. Maybe after this I'll go to my spa subscription to do some treatment. Do you want to come with Aruna...?" ask Dr. Sheina.

" Thank you for the offer. But I'm sorry doc, I promised my husband to go wherever he went today" said Aruna, looking at the Kautsar with affection.

Kautsar smiled and gently grabbed his wife's shoulder.

" Well, you guys always manage to make me jealous. But gapapa, maybe next time we can hang out with Aruna...?" ask Dr. Sheina.

" God willing can dok..," said Aruna quickly to make the doctor Sheina smile.

Then the three of them came out of Sheina's doctor's room and separated in the hospital parking lot.

Alam's parents' second home was again deserted after the division of basic food and food was over. The housekeepers had also just finished cleaning up the house. After making sure the house was neat and clean again, they stepped onto the back porch to rest.

While in the room seen both parents Nature is lying on the bed. Both look very tired.

" It was not expected that the basic distribution event went well, yes, well," said Mother Nature.

" yes. I'm happy because all the people who come to part and seem happy they accept our gift earlier.", said the father of Nature.

" They must be happy, Dad. What we love can save their expenses for a week" Mother Nature said proudly.

" You are right, ma'am.," said Alam's father, smiling with satisfaction.

Suddenly the chatter of both parents of Nature stopped. They saw the shadows of some people flashing behind the window. They hurried to get up and looked at each other in confusion.

" Who is Well, how many people beside the house...?" ask mother Nature.

" No tau Ma'am. Maybe the aunt cleaned up next to the house..," said Alam's father.

" It may not be Dad. Auntie is done from here. Look who's there, Dad. Lest there be a maling..," said Mother Nature panicked.

Father Nature hurried up and approached the window. Seeing nothing, the father of Nature opened the window.

When the shutters opened, a hand blocked the hand of Nature's father and pulled him out. Father Nature screamed in surprise. Mother Nature who saw her husband pulled out also tried to chase.

From behind the window Mother Nature saw her husband being beaten by several people dressed in black. The man never had time to scream again because the blows that landed on his face and body had made him fall unconscious.

Mother Nature witnessed how her husband's body was lifted in a supine position and then thrown to the ground loudly until a crackling sound signaled his spine was broken.

Mother Nature screamed loudly along with blood spurting out of the husband's mouth. His eyes darkened and his body slumped on the floor.

Mother Nature opened her eyes and was surprised to find herself in a strange place. Not far from him, the figure of the husband who was stretched stiff did not move.

Mother Nature extended her hand to touch her husband. He carefully turned the face of the husband. How surprised she was when she saw the face of the husband who had been destroyed. At that time the mother of Nature realized that the husband was no longer alive.

" You're up apparently.." said a voice.

" What is this, who are you...?" mother Nature asked as she looked at the man in robes and covered his black head tightly.

" We are here on your orders to pick you up." said the black-robed man quickly.

" What's wrong with me and my husband...?" ask mother Nature.

" You have broken the agreement. There is a prayer and the name of God is called during the sharing ceremony and you do not like it. So you have to pay with your lives." said the black-robed man.

Hearing the man's words Mother Nature was shocked. He's inching backwards. The black-robed man also appeared to grin and then stepped quickly towards Mother Nature who was trembling in fear. From behind his back he took out a machete and slapped it on the neck of Mother Nature.

A second later the head of Mother Nature fell down and her body fell to the floor with a neck drenched in blood. No screams were heard as it all went very fast.

Afterwards the black-robed man turned his head towards the line of men behind him. They nodded then approached the headless body.

A moment later the men removed the bodies of both parents of Nature from the place violently. While the man in black robes seemed to smile with satisfaction while licking the blood that soaked the machete in his hand.
