Otis continued to chase the man who had peeked at him. The man ran very fast. But the person he was chasing just ran even faster. They were chasing each other on top of a pile of snow. Otis doesn't even know where he is now. The man was too far from home.
"Stop!" scream Otis.
This time the intruder he was after actually held back his footsteps after hearing Otis's scream. With a breath they looked at each other. But Otis could not see the face of the intruder because he was wearing a mask. Judging from his appearance, the intruder was the same age as him.
"Who are you. What do you want. Why are you peeping like that?" otis asked still in a friendly tone so that the intruder would not run away again.
"I should have asked. Who are you guys? Why can you stay in that house" replied the man in full inquiry.
Otis scrunched his forehead. "You're a citizen here?"
"The house you're in is the house of a murderer. The killer disappeared for several months after he managed to kill a family he lived in not far from here. The house has been empty for a long time. After seeing the lights of the house alive, I was curious and decided to take a peek at them. I thought the killer was back. I almost called the police. I didn't know that a stranger had taken it. Did the killer sell the house?"
"I'm just a driver. I don't understand that house at all. I am here because I have been assigned to look after Mrs Yolanda.I will ask my Madam about the ownership of the house. But, will you come with me to help me explain this matter to him?"
The man shook his head. "I'm sorry I didn't want to get involved in this. I'm saying all this because I don't want you to think anything weird about me. If you are clear I will go. I won't bother you anymore please don't follow me." The man continued his footsteps leaving Otis alone there.
"Wait!" scream Otis. But the man did not stop again. He disappeared after passing through some lush trees.
Otis noticed the surroundings. Silent and creepy. Although it was still morning, but it felt like the location there was going to be night again. That moment he felt cold. He's still not wearing clothes. His body began to shiver and his lips turned blue.
"Where's the way to that house?" otis Mumbles. The footprints were covered in snow. This time Otis was completely trapped. If Lady Yolanda had not sent reinforcements, the man would have died shivering.
"Great!" The man stepped slowly while guessing which direction he had stepped in earlier. However, Otis still did not manage to find a way out. "I could freeze to death like this."
...***...
At home, Mrs Yolanda was already very worried because Otis did not return. The woman had indeed contacted her trusted person to come immediately with a change of clothes. However, still he was not calm because he did not know which way Otis had gone earlier.
Tok
The sound of knocking on the door made Madame Yolanda startled. The woman did not open it. He also wanted to make sure that the person who knocked on the door was not a bad person.
"Who?"
"Madam, it's me" said a woman up ahead.
Without a second thought Madam Yolanda immediately opened the door. He knows that voice. His confidant had arrived in front.
"Madam," said the woman Tesya used to call him.
"Tessa, you have to help me." Madam Yolanda held Tesya's hand so frantically.
"Otis, he went somewhere. He was chasing someone. I'm afraid he's in danger. He's never been abroad before. What if he gets lost? The distance from this house to the other house is very far. Snow also continued to fall. He wasn't even wearing clothes. What if he's freezing to death?" Madam Yolanda held Tesya's hand hoping that the woman could help him at this moment.
"Mrs, relax. I'll think of a way to find his whereabouts. Did he bring a cell phone?"
"But in this area there is no network. How do we contact Otis if there's no network?"
"Mrs, did you forget that this network could die and live on your permission? You alone made the network around here disappear. Wouldn't we be able to bring it to life at any time if needed?" answer Tesya calmly.
Madam Yolanda smiled. Because he panicked too much to be stupid. Though earlier he also turned on the network for a while when he wanted to contact Tesya.
"You're right. But I don't have his phone number."
"You calm down, madam. I'll find the guy's number." Tesya took his phone. He fiddled with his phone like he was. Too tired to stand, Lady Yolanda decided to sit on the sofa by the door. The woman massaged her head that felt dizzy. The loss of Otis made her forget the heartache she had felt for her husband.
"Madam, I managed to get her phone number," Tesya shouted in excitement.
"Hurry and find him! Don't talk too much."
"Okay, Madam." Tesya did not dare to say any more. The woman immediately dialed Otis's phone number hoping his phone call was connected. Just two seconds after the phone call was connected, they had heard the phone from the kitchen. Madam Yolanda and Tesya both let out long sighs. The ringing sound of the phone indicates that now it does not bring its phone. This will make it difficult for them to find Otis' whereabouts.
"Mrs, you better go back to the hotel. I can't leave you alone in this house. Taking you to find Otis is also impossible" Tesya said.
"Why is it impossible? I'll help you find her whereabouts. I don't want to go back to the hotel if he hasn't been found. After all I'm the one most responsible for Otis' disappearance. He's in this house for following my orders. He went after the intruder because he wanted to protect me."
"Well Madam if you insist. I'll ask people to come help us find Otis' whereabouts. While waiting for them to come, we should go to search first. Do you know where Otis went?"
"I knew. Come follow me," Madam Yolanda. They both came out of the house in thick clothes. Just arrived in front of the porch of their house was shocked by the appearance of Otis. The man stood there with smiling lips. He had been wearing warm clothes to make Madam Yolanda curious, actually what had happened.
"Otis, where have you been?" ketus Madam Yolanda.
Otis looked at Tesya for a moment before stepping closer to Madame Yolanda. "Mrs, the story is long. But, before I explain everything, can we leave this place?"
Madam Yolanda shook her head in disapproval. He loved living in that house more than a hotel. "I don't want to. This house is my home."
"Otis, just explain exactly what happened. I can guarantee Mrs Yolanda's safety" Tesya said with confidence.
Otis watched Tesya closely. He found a gun in the woman's waist. This time Otis could breathe a little relieved. "Can we come in, ma'am?"
Madam Yolanda twisted her body and entered the house first. Followed by Otis before finally Tesya. They closed the door of the house and sat on a sofa close to the fireplace.
