Moon In Hugs

Chapter 205

Diana stopped on the porch with a breath of excitement, and the girl looked very upset. “I don't know who this is, but I'm sure it's Dirga!”

“Why? What's up, Diana? Try to tell me why Mr Lurah's son?” asked Uncle Salim not to understand.

Aditya suspects that Dirga and Diana's affairs may not be known to his uncle. Diana didn't answer Uncle Salim's question. Not out of disrespect for him, but out of anxiety.

“Flashdisk-ku gone! My flash drive and notebook! Definitely Dirga did it!” obviously Diana while looking at Aditya's face.

“How can you be sure?” ask the young man.

“Yes, who else if not him? No citizen here has ever harassed me other than him. And anyway, if it was a thief, they would rather sell a laptop than a flash, right?!” diana said in panic.

Aditya muttered, “Truely too.”

“Duh! Where are all my writing files there again! Truly a guy doesn't know himself!” diana's screams grew uncontrollably panicked. To the extent that Uncle Salim's neighbors came to think Aditya might have a fight with the uncle.

“I think you guys are noisier like you used to be,” chirps one of them.

“Hus! Don't carelessly talk to you, Budi!” hatch Uncle Salim while his eyes glare at the neighbor.

Aditya should be able to laugh at the expression of the uncle who was angry at his neighbor who looked funny earlier, but that is if the situation is normal. Writing files for a writer like Diana is something that matters. It was almost like half a soul was separated from the author's body.

“OK, you calm down first,” said Aditya. “Since when did the flash disappear?”

“Just after coming home with you this afternoon,” replied Diana looking like without thinking.

“You sure?”

“Eh. I mean, I just checked my stuff after a shower and washed my clothes. About an hour after we got home.”

“Why this? Can you please explain to Uncle?” cut Uncle Salim who still does not understand why Dirga can be hated so much by this kind Diana.

Diana tried to explain as much as she could, but with careful selection of words because around them there are neighbors, that Dirga had been harassing her. The reputation of the child lurah was already smudged from the past, but Diana still had to be careful.

“Wah, so. You never told me, son,” said Uncle Salim.

“Already, Uncle. Now what matters is that we find that stuff. That notebook is important too?” Aditya.

“Precious with flash-ku.”

They were silent for a moment. Then Aditya asked his neighbors to disperse. This conversation should not be heard by them. Accusations without evidence like this can be fatal for Diana, especially if it is not Dirga thief.

“Oke, now we meet Dirga. We ask carefully,” Aditya told Diana.

”But previously you have made sure there are no signs of thieves entering?”

“Same once. All the stuff stays neat. I don't know how the perp can tell where I put the flash! As if I had memorized my habits!” bright Diana then sat limp on the terrace while squeezing her hair.

Then he continued: “Dirga knows where I used to store that stuff. Four or five times he came without knocking on the door and startled me when I was again engrossed in the living room! At that time he must have seen me put my flash in the pencil. That's why I know he did it!”

“You calm down first, Diana,” said Aditya. “We just need to talk to Dirga.”

***

Dirga used to hang out in a bamboo hall near the village office. Not far from there is a river that looks quite dirty, because it is rarely cleaned. Coincidentally there are two close friends of Dirga also named Bandi and Pirlo. The three young men were the ones who used to troublemaking in the village.

As soon as she saw Diana walking from afar towards her, Dirga immediately said, “Well, this lover of my heart has finally come! Heh, why are you following along with a freak too?!”

Looks like Dirga is starting to be brave on Aditya, because now he has his friends.

“Let me speak,” said Aditya while whispering to Diana. The girl nodded too.

“Bro, can I talk to you for a minute?” aditya asked within a safe enough distance not to be heard by Dirga's two friends.

“Loe wants to talk, come here! I'm not a loe helper, Imbecile!” dirga said roughly.

Bandi and Pirlo laughed happily to see Aditya being teased so.

“Why the hell? Want to watch or not the hell you?” dirga asked Diana, still not moving from her place sitting in the bamboo halls.

“Depends you want to talk here or don't!” diana replied firmly. No one in the village had ever seen Diana look this angry. And so, Dirga was shocked as well and immediately stood up from where she was sitting.

“Why the hell?” ask the child as he approaches Aditya and Diana.

Bandi and Pirlo remained waiting in the bamboo halls with curiosity.

“Flashdisk-ku gone. It's good to go back now!” diana said impatiently.

Dirga apparently stole the flash. Now it's tucked in his shirt pocket safely. Bandi and Pirlo obviously know that. The three of them had entered Diana's house.

“Ayo, where?! How are you quiet! Don't you steal it!” said Diana.

Bandi and Pirlo are hard to hold back a laugh. And that makes Aditya more convinced that they indeed stole the precious object of Diana's.

So, Aditya now talks to Dirga: “Don't mess with people's stuff. Loe knew for herself Diana needed the item, so quickly flipin.”

Finally, Dirga who had been silent since then, now laughed out loud. Unexpectedly, he admitted that he had also stolen the flash, but his intentions were not evil. He said he never had any ill intentions for the theft.

“Stolen why you said no evil! Are you drunk or what? Quick flip!” spray Diana.

“Yes, will be reversed, but there are conditions. You should watch me tonight. How?” answer Dirga steadily. “If you've seen it, surely I'll turn in.”

“Why are you always so annoying! I don't like you, Dirga. Many other girls in this village that you can date!”

“Yes, I like it to you anyway,” said Dirga with a rancid and pretentious, which made Aditya start to run out of patience.

That time Aditya no longer needed to talk. He immediately punched Dirga's mouth until the child fell rolling on the ground. Bandi and Pirlo were shocked to see such a spontaneous fist. Surely Aditya is not a random person, they thought.

Deftly, Aditya checks pocket by pocket on Dirga's body and finds the missing flash. Diana seemed relieved, but also anxious because now Bandi and Pirlo come forward to help their friend.

Of course, just village boys like this, for Aditya is not a problem. It's easy to make the tall Pirlo faint, then push the fat Bandi into a dirty river.

Dirga got a fist once again in the mouth, making his gums bleed.

“What's loe!” screaming pain.

“Come, we're leaving. I'm afraid there's a problem because of this,” Diana told Aditya.

“This is also a problem, but you don't worry. They're proven to steal your stuff. They will not dare to mess around. Unless you want to make trouble,” Aditya said.

“You do not know who Mr. Lurah is.”

“Ya, you will also know. Come, home.”

They returned home, leaving behind Dirga and friends who bore shame.

“Awas you, motherfucker!” inner Dirga was upset.

***

Before long, on the way home, two neat-looking strangers descended from a car. They walked towards Aditya and Diana. Aditya has a bad feeling. But he tried to calm down.

“Aditya, right?” ask one of them.

“Yes, who are you?”

“We are Mr Pandu's messengers. There are urgent things that we have to tell you,” said one of them.

Aditya remembered Frita. His feeling said: he will leave this village again, he will leave the uncle again. For how long? He doesn't even know! And that makes Aditya very uncomfortable.

Seriate...
