THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE

XXXIII Parts

At the boarding place Via the girl was checking the products that had just come. It sorted by type. Within an hour, the goods that had just been delivered by courier were neat.

"Wuah, very neat chops," said Ratna who just came.

"hey are. Wait for the angel to get off the taxi will not be neat," said Via origin.

"Father don't want to take a taxi, Marimar."

"Yes, he has no money to pay for a taxi" said Via.

Ratna laughing. He likes it when it's so silly. Although there have been many changes in the attitude and habits of Via, the ridiculous side of Via still often appears. Strange names are often thrown away.

"Where are you from? How just got home?" ask Via.

"Forgotted huh? There was my om and my tant. We met on the street and I invited them to the mall."

"O yes. Uh, to the mall? Fun dong! What shopping?"

"Mi instant. Here, make stock for a week," replied Ratna as she put down her bag.

"Just buy noodles?"

"Hehehe... Don't you. I bought a bag, really. Well, my bag deserves to go to the museum."

"Oh, Hermes, LC, or Gucci?" ask Via again.

"Pans. Not yet time to wear branded bags, Non."

"When's the time?"

"Tomorrow if I'm CEO or CEO's wife."

"If the time comes, do not forget me, Malin! Don't let you turn to stone!"

"Bhuahaha, instead of being cursed to stone, you curse me to be a beautiful princess, Mak. Uh, I brought you some food. I was treated. As a good friend, I always remember you. Eat, don't worry. It's a calculation of nutritional improvement" Ratna said as she held out a food box.

"Alhamdulillah, thank you my dear. Did you really eat?" Via doubt.

"Udah. Or do you want to share? I don't refuse, really," said Ratna.

"Eh, if you've been told not to be asked again."

Ratna just grinned. He got up from his seat and went to the bathroom.

"Package!" I heard a scream from the yard. Via get out soon.

"For whom?" ask Via.

"Obviously, Ms. Novia Anggraeni," replied the expedition's courier. That person often to the boarding place Via deliver the package for Via.

"False, Mas," said Via after receiving the goods.

"Either. Excuse me."

Via returned to the room while cradling the package he had just received. The sender is unclear. The weight of the goods is about 1 kilogram and not too big.

"There's another shipment, Vi?" ask Ratna.

"Yes. Is there a return? Try cheques!" orders Via.

Ratna grabbed her phone and checked all the apps they used to sell. Via did the same.

"No, tuh."

"Punyaku too. From a big supplier. All were sent anyway."

"Yes, just open it" suggested Ratna.

Via according. He opened the package using a cutter.

"Thursday. Looks like this was sent 2 weeks ago," murmured Via.

"You sure? The style and color can be the same" Ratna said.

"No. Which model I remember is only 1 tosca color."

"Take it, you might be wrong."

Via picked up the still folded robe in the cardboard. Suddenly she screamed hysterically.

"What's up, Vi?" ask Ratna to panic.

Via's face was deathly pale. He sat on the bed with his body trembling.

"You sick?" ask Ratna again.

Via just shook his head. He looks scared.

Ratna picked up the new package via open. He also screamed in shock as he saw the robe covered tosca.

"Who sent this?" hiss Ratna.

Instantly his stomach felt like it was stirring. Ratna ran to the bathroom.

Hoek... Ratna's stomach contents came out successfully.

Upon returning to the room, Ratna saw Via still silent with a pale face and trembling body. Ratna immediately grabbed Via and laid him down.

"You sleep first. I'll clean up the damn package."

Ratna threw the newly received package into the trash. He immediately washed his hands and began to imagine the package he threw away. After that, he made a glass of tea for Via.

"Vi, have some warm tea first so you'll be calmer."

"How's it feel?" ask Ratna.

Via is silent. He set his breath.

"That's a big deal, Rat. Who the hell would do that? Bener-born outrageous. What's my fault with him, try?" luh Via lirih.

"Already, Vi. Don't think about it too much. Let's just say this is crazy."

"But I'm sure there's still something to do with consumers complaining and returning goods. In fact the guy includes a robe that he bought from us."

"Now you rest. I'll bury the package first."

Ratna's out taking the hoe in the barn. Finished digging and burying the disgusting item, he took a cell phone to contact someone.

That afternoon, just as Via and Ratna reached the boarding place, the expedition courier came and handed over the parcels that Ratna had received. They observed the package first.

"Don't be like yesterday, Vi" Ratna said.

"I am still traumatized. But obviously this isn't from our suppliers."

Ratna opened her phone. A few moments of her fingers dancing on the blue screen of the phone.

"Try a check on your phone there is no return. Otherwise, the package is discarded" Ratna suggested.

Via took the phone from inside his bag. He opened his business account.

"Nothing, Rat. But if this gets thrown away and it turns out to be important, what?" Via looks doubtful.

Ratna cradled the box-shaped package. It was as if he was guessing.

As they were confused to decide what to do, the sound of the motorcycle engine was turned off.

"Assalamualaik."

"Waalaikumsalam," answered Ratna and Via together.

"Mas Azka, tumben here? Mother's told, huh?" ask Via.

"Can't you play here if you're not told to?" Azka asked back.

Via smiled widely.

"Yes that's not it. Sit down, Mas" said Via.

Azka put the small bag on the table. Then he sat down.

"That's the deposit from mom. Mommy cooked your favorite rendang."

"O yeah? Thanks, yeah. Also thank you Via to mom. Thank God, eat well, no."

"What'sthis? Package?" asked Azka while holding the package of boxes that Ratna had previously held.

"Yes, Mas. But we were afraid to open the package" replied Ratna.

"Why?"

"Today I got a package. I opened it in a robe. It was a product I delivered to a customer about half a month ago. When I unfolded the robe, it turned out that there was a dead kitten covered in blood. I can't bear it. I almost fainted yesterday because I saw that. Now, Ratna and I are afraid that yesterday's events will happen again. We have checked that no purchase has been made. We don't sell anything to suppliers either."

"Yes, I'm the only one open. Here, I take it to the yard. If it's disgusting, you don't have to look" Azka said, bringing the box to the page. After some distance from Via and Ratna, he opened the package.

"Astaghfirullahalazim," cried Azka in shock.

"What's it all about, Mom?" ask Ratna.

"Rabbit carcass. There's no hoe? Let me bury you," pinta Azka.

Ratna rushed to the warehouse to pick up the hoe. Azka deftly dug a hole and buried the rabbit carcass with a gaping wound on the neck and full of blood in the box.

"That means someone's intent on terrorizing you, Vi," Azka said, finished burying the dead rabbit.

"Yes, Mas. But who is that guy? What made him do evil to me?"

"Here you go, now calm yourself. I'll help you investigate. Tomorrow if there's a mysterious package, don't open it! Call me!" azka's orders.

"Okay, Mas" replied Ratna.

"I'll go home first, yeah. You guys take good care of yourself."

"Mas Azka also be careful, don't speed! Greetings to your father."

Azka smiled. Suddenly there was the idea of flirting with Via.

"Make Mas Farhan not?"

"Yes," replied Via, choking.

Azka chuckling. He grabbed the key of the motor lying on the table.

"Assalamualaik."

"Waalaikumsalam" replied Via and Ratna.
