Droplets of Night Creatures

279. Time Needed

George managed to find the Kautsar. At that time the Kautsar was resting on the edge of a river not far from the forest. Apparently he was exhausted after running fast for some time.

" You're so tired, son.." said George with a smile.

Kautsar was shocked and immediately got up from his sitting position. He looked at George with a watchful look. But slowly his vigilance loosened when he knew George was present in an ordinary human form.

" O George.." call Kautsar Iirih while observing his surroundings.

" Yes, son, it's me." said George.

" Where is Aruna ?. Is he okay, Om...?" kautsar asked with a trembling voice.

On the one hand the Kautsar still felt afraid and could not believe if Aruna intended to finish him off. But on the other hand Kautsar was worried about the safety of his wife.

" Sadly I came alone this time. Aruna is with Matilda. Right now he needs time to be alone. I hope you understand and are willing to give Aruna time to understand everything." said George.

" Yes Om I understand. I'll give Aruna as much time as she wants" said the Kautsar quickly to make George moved.

" Do you hate him, son...?" ask George carefully.

" I can't hate him Om..," said Kautsar firmly.

" Even though he tried to kill you earlier...?" george asked as he looked at the Kautsar deeply.

" It was done outside of his consciousness Om. And I understand. If Aruna were conscious, she would not kill me even if she hated me." said Kautsar, looking straight ahead.

" Why are you so sure ?. You know in Aruna there's blood of bloodthirsty murderous creatures and one day being able to push out may even hurt you." said George.

" I know Aruna as a smart woman. He wouldn't do anything bod*h just to fulfill his ambition. Especially to the person he once loved..," said Kautsar with a faint smile.

George nodded in agreement with Kautsar. He also believed Kautsar's remarks because Aruna did prove it when dealing with Kalisha.

George remembers how Aruna gave Kalisha plenty of opportunities to improve himself before he ended it all. It was because Aruna realized that Kalisha had once been her close friend. Until finally Aruna's patience runs out because of Kalisha himself.

" Now I'm taking you home huh..," said George volunteering.

" Yes Om. But can we pass the normal path...?" ask Kautsar.

" What's the normal path do you mean...?" george did not understand.

" I want to go home by land Om. I want to enjoy my trip this time. Not that Aruna has returned to human form, so I don't need to be afraid that my wife will hunt me like that.

" It's good if that's what you want." said George.

" Thank you Om..," said Kautsar enthusiastically.

" All together. Let's go there, there's a path that people used to walk so we don't have to break through the forest.", said George, who is taken by the Kautsar.

Slowly George and the Kautsar stepped onto the path that George was referring to. The two continued to step through the darkness of the night. Occasionally the Kautsar has to let George use his abilities when they have to go down a difficult path. Usually George will hold the hands of the Kautsar and bring him darting quickly through the obstacles that are in front of them.

The casual conversation colored the journey of the two until they arrived in front of the Kautsar house.

" Thank God, we finally got it too. Thank you Om for coming home." said Kautsar.

" Everyone Son. If so I leave now yes..," said George as he prepared to leave.

" A little bit...!" call Kautsar.

" What else is Kautsar...?" ask George.

" Mmm.., Om said that Aruna needs time to be alone. How do I know her condition because she doesn't want to see me...?" ask Kautsar shyly.

" I'll come to give you the news, son.." said George with a smile of understanding.

" God willing as often as possible" said George with a laugh.

The Kautsar laughed and a moment later he let George dart away.

Aruna widens her eyes as Matilda takes her to a unique place. A building that resembled a castle stood firmly before him. Aruna looked around and realized that it was on a hill.

" What is this place Auntie...?" ask Aruna.

" This is where Me and My Husband have been resting all this time, son. If We are tired from the routine then We come here. The facilities and food supplies in this house are quite complete, so we do not need anywhere to just eat or drink coffee.

" I didn't expect that in this secluded, hidden, rich place there was such a beautiful and comfortable place to live in" Aruna said as she stared in amazement at the classic building before her.

" Save your admiration first, it's Aruna. Because there's still something that's gonna blow you in there" Matilda said.

" Oh yeah. What is Aunt...?" ask Aruna curiously.

" You know later too. We'd better get in now yuk..," Matilda asked.

Aruna nodded and followed Matilda who was holding her hand to enter the house.

When the door was opened, it was a sight that made Aruna smile happily. How not. At that moment in front of him was a real room with antique decorations that spoil the eyes.

" It's really nice Auntie. I feel taken to the past where modern civilization in ancient times began" Aruna said with a smile.

" The interior designer of this room is my Husband Aruna. He was a man who always wandered to various places before being tied to marriage with me. Therefore I entrust everything to him and You see the result...?" matilda asked proudly.

" Om George is great. Here I feel like I'm not in what era but strangely at the same time I feel comfortable too..," praised Aruna as touching one by one the furniture in the room.

The room is shades of gold and maroon red that looks luxurious and classic. The cold and soundproof walls of the room make the room feel cool even without air conditioning.

Matilda stepped towards the window and pushed the shutters wide open. Matilda also tied the gold-colored window curtain to the side of the window. A moment later the scented wind of leaves was blowing into the room to make the feeling become calm.

" I'm glad you're comfortable here, son. Stay as long as you want. We would love to receive you here, my dear." said Matilda.

" Thank you Auntie. I think I'll be at home here." said Aruna timidly to make Matilda laugh.

" Gapapa Son. This house is also your home. Your father felt at home here, too, "said Matilda in between her laughter.

" So you come here a lot, Auntie...?" ask Aruna.

" Not often. Just a few times. Yesterday he also came after visiting you..," said Matilda as she passed.

Aruna followed Matilda who stepped into the interior of the house. Again Aruna was amazed by the interior design in the house. Matilda stopped stepping right in front of a door.

" This is your room, son. You can rest here. If you need something, say nothing. Ok...?" matilda asked as she opened the door for Aruna.

" Good Aunt. Thank you again..," said Aruna.

" Beloved One.." said Matilda and left Aruna in the room.

Slowly Aruna closed the door of the room and observed the room with a smile. Then he stepped up to the window and saw a beautiful view behind the window.

But unfortunately the beauty presented in front of him did not make him forget the figure of the Kautsar.

" I'm sorry, honey. I still need time to understand everything. Sorry for leaving you without explanation. Be patient for a moment. I'll come back and explain everything later." Aruna muttered while shedding tears.
