Full Night
The rainy season has finally come again after six full moons. Although the cold weather began to creep, I deliberately let him enter my room which was full of hot air for months. The breezy wind that I missed slowly began to present as a prefix that would usher in raindrops down treating dryness.
Meanwhile, the night began to creep. However, my activities are getting more intense. Gradually, I was saturated as well after months of struggling with that sickening pile of documents. How not? Looking at every inch of the sentence arranged in the documents is like opening the disgrace of the nation itself. The sheets are proof of the existence of all forms of fraud and crime committed by a number of state apparatus. Bribery, extortion, misappropriation, even forbidden romance scandals, are as real as confessional sheets.
How else would you like? My routine as a Public Relations Cab in the body of the Anti-Corruption Committee forced me to, inevitably, have to wrestle with such things. My devotion for the past five years to the independent committee that has reached the age of a dozen this year has opened my eyes, that indeed there are still many rodents that breed from the results of undermining the wealth of this country. And, even though the rat pest eradication efforts have been carried out for dozens of years, in fact there are still many of them who feel free enough to straddle the authority of the law.
One of the many mouse pests that are still free is Budiman Rudiantoro. Actually, I'm sick of hearing the name of a politician and businessman who called this one many times in the media. There have been many cases that appear to ensnare him, but until now the person is still free to breathe free air. And, finally, my disgust was to lead me to an investigation of the Sport Centre project bribery case that ensnared a number of important figures in the body of the legislature. As has been reported by some media lately, the name Budiman again dragged in the billion dollar bribery scandal. Uniquely, as soon as I learned of any indication of the involvement of the multinational businessman, I suddenly became very excited to gather concrete evidence related to the case.
Apparently I've been really caught off guard watching a conglomerate lunge who likes to rattle the country's apparatus. Unfortunately, this time he confronted me. I've prepared a number of ammunition, documents that will prove his involvement. In the next few months, some of those documents will be speaking at the green table soon. Let's see, Budiman. This time you won't get away.
"Hooaahhmmm..."
Without me noticing, the drowsiness had managed to sneak in. You know, my eyelids are already watering. It seemed that I was also no longer able to resist the temptation to plunge myself into the resting place. In this situation, it seems like I should indeed forget about all my duties for a moment. After all, my focus and concentration had already begun to approach zero. I will not be able to work optimally in this condition.
With a view that was no longer perfect, I glanced at the window of my room that was still open. Before I lay down on the resting place, I had to close the ventilation gap to maintain the confidentiality and security of a number of important documents. I was just about to approach the rayban-glazed window, but....
PRANK!
At high speed, a mysterious object shot through the surface of the window glass and made it shatter into pieces. In that instant, my drowsiness faded. My eyes were wide at the presence of the foreign object in my room. With great care, I approached the location of the fall of the small object. I forced myself to pick it up from the surface of the ceramic tile.
It turned out that it was a kind of rough-textured coral stone. A piece of paper was tucked away in a small gaping hole on the surface of the rock. A mysterious person had sent me a message and the content of the message was short enough to make me wrinkle my face.
CONGRATULATIONS! TONIGHT IS YOUR LUCKY NIGHT!
THE BLACK MAIL
The Black Mail, I murmured.
I haven't had time to find the answer to the puzzle of the message, suddenly the piece of paper changed color to darker. Getting dark. A black shadow that appeared from behind my body made me flabbergasted. Suddenly, I tried to turn around as quickly as possible to find out the owner of the shadow.
"Who is it?" I shouted in a loud voice.
Silent atmosphere. No sound was heard, but soon after...
GRRRR
Sayup-sayup heard a growling sound that resembled a wild beast. At that instant, my hair brimmed. Blood rustling. The freezing night air also contributed to circulating the gripping atmosphere. Outside the room, the thumping sound of lightning sent out thousands of threats.
Suddenly the black shadow again flashed as fast as lightning before my eyes. My heart gasped when I felt something sharp scratch my back. I crashed. Slowly, the pain attacked. Through my hands that were touching the back of the body, I could clearly feel the gaping incision wound on my back. Fresh blood flowed slowly through the sidelines of my torn nightgown. In an instant, the white dress began to turn a reddish color. As a short reaction, I shouted out in panic.
"Tbtt.... Help u! Robbing it! Sakir Sir! There's robbing! TOLOOONG!!"
With all hope left, I shouted out with all my might, trying to call out the name of my security officer who was on duty at the front guard post of the house. "SAKIR SIR!! TOLOOONG!!"
Malang cannot be ignored. My voice suddenly weakened. My throat was apparently unable to hold the resonance of excessive sound for long. In a short time, I had run out of sound due to too forcing myself to scream loudly.
Meanwhile, the sound of footsteps that had come out of nowhere suddenly sounded. When he turned to the window, a sinister black creature suddenly stood there. His eyes were bright red. His mouth resembles a dog's snout. From behind his lips, there appeared a pair of curved canine teeth. Slowly the creature straightened its head and revealed a grin on its face.
GRRRR GRRRR
At a glance, the sound of a savage beast growled back. At that instant, his face grinned sharply at me.
"Don't come any closer! Don't hurt me!" My voice is getting lost in the increasingly heavy rainfall. Miraculously, the creature completely stopped approaching. His fingers decorated with sharp nails actually tried to touch the surface of his own face.
Wasn't it! That's not a face! The mask! It turns out he was wearing a mask. Suddenly the creature took off the mask and revealed its true face shape. The face of a young man who was far from being creepy.
To my surprise, the man's face suddenly looked confused. His eyes flashed a glance across the room. When his eyes were on me, his face suddenly turned pale. Her eyelids seemed stunned staring at the splashes of blood that drenched the back of my nightgown. Not lost his surprise, the man again aghast to retreat a few steps after realizing the existence of long nails attached to his fingers.
"Mr Murthi! You okay inside?!"
The sound of Mr. Sakir screaming from outside the room further added to the aura of panic on the man's face. In a hurry, he approached the window of my room that was still in an open position and immediately climbed the outer wall.
"Sakir Sir! The robbers ran out the window!"
