Rania's Invisible Search
PART 26 MYSTERY DISCOVERY OF CORPSES
"Why should I? and why would I sacrifice something for you?" I looked at the face of the woman in the red dress, she lowered her head and before long she looked at me with a sad face.
"Because you've meddled in his affairs, he can't get what he should. If there is no successor that satisfies him, there must be a substitute for the position of the ritual regent. And you have taken the sacred heirloom from its place, if you do not find that successor immediately, you will take its place." he explained with a grin.
Deghs.
Why should I? my heart beats so fast, my brain can't think clearly. I pushed the elevator button many times, but the door didn't open. When I looked at the numbers in the elevator it showed six. The woman in the red dress was still standing in her place, I stepped away from her. And I fell down after hitting something in front of me.
Brughs.
"That's okay, is it Ran? ask my coworkers who just came.
I just kept quiet not answering his question, now the two guards who were guarding the Lobby also came to me. They asked me why I was standing quietly in front of the elevator, but the elevator door had opened several times. I got up and looked at the elevator door, and the woman in the red dress was no longer there.
"I'm sorry I seem to have a lot of thoughts sir." I explained to them, then I walked back to the front of the elevator.
I decided to focus on work, and ignored my conversation with the mysterious woman. My colleague who is still a division came to me, he handed me criminal news files that will be aired today.
"Lu must finish everything before this afternoon, because later in the afternoon we have to do other files" he said by reminding me of the upcoming deadline.
I showed my thumb while nodding my head, my colleague returned to his desk. And I started all my chores, the files piling up on the table made me dizzy. It seems I am better suited to work in the field, I murmured by typing the news agenda that will air.
"Nih Ran there's a special case for you" said Rika's mother who had just come to me, she brought a brown envelope that was given a red highlighter that read 'PENDING'.
I shook my head and exhaled a long breath, Not done yet one has come again another file, but this file looks different from the previous one.
"This case should not be you who fuss, but because from the beginning you take over, so yes you all who finish. It's a case that's still a mystery, it's a case of finding a corpse in an old building. According to the information we have received, the head of the body has not been found. So we must get the leading information, if the police can uncover the mystery, try to get an explanation from the police. You will deket tuh same one of the police who nanganin the case" said Mbak Rika by raising his eyebrows.
Don't forget, Madam Rika reminded me of a criminal case that I previously worked on. He asked me to finish it immediately, and handed it over to coordinator Fino. I salute Ms. Rika, indicating I am ready to carry out her orders.
When I was busy in front of the monitor screen, there was an incoming message from Mbak Ayu. He asked me to come home with Agus, so we could have dinner together with Om Dewa and Aunt Ajeng. I responded with a thumb emoticon, and continued my work.
Without feeling the watch on the wrist indicates four o'clock in the afternoon. I missed lunch again. From a distance, Agus was handing over the results of his presscon to Mbak Rika, I stood up and approached her.
"I want to talk to you."
"Ran, by the way, I'm horrified."
Ma'am Rika glanced at me from the tail of her eyes, she wondered why I suddenly approached Agus and seemed to keep something secret from him.
"There is no secret why Mbak, ntar I want to nebeng Agus aja." I said attacking walk left them.
I sat down on the chair, and then I remembered the mysterious woman. How did he know the box was still in my bag. I did deliberately take him everywhere, just in case at any time I can find the address Ketut Dewangga. I grabbed the backpack under the table, I opened the zipper and reached into it. The old box had been almost a week stored in my bag, and since then I have been experiencing scary things. If it's just a ghost who died curious, I'm used to their presence. But the figure associated with something in this box, really makes me insecure. I feel like I'm being moved by that figure. While I was still staring at the box in the bag, someone touched my shoulder, and I gasped reflexively to drop the backpack I was holding.
"Eh sorry Ran, I don't mean to ngaggetin you!" exclaiming Agus tried to take my backpack that fell earlier.
I jumped up quickly and grabbed the bag before Agus touched it.
"Gue aja Gus who took, you when did it come anyway? do you know if I've patted my shoulder?" I said with a loud roaring breath.
"Yes I just came with Ran, you end daydreaming anyway. What's in your bag? until I can't take it?" Agus hooked his eyebrows together, he looked curious.
Without further ado, I went straight to the topic. I asked him what he meant last night, but he seemed confused as if he knew nothing.
"Don't joke, Gus, you called me last night. And you ngancem me Gus, you said the people closest to me could be in danger. You mean what's an Gus?" I said by raising my head while shaking my waist.
Now that Agus brought his head closer to me, he whispered in my ear.
"I'm not the one who said that, I'm just delivering the message."
I rounded both eyes looking at Agus suspiciously. Agus smirked with threatening eyes.
"Actually you why the hell Gus? is there a problem are you the same me? you know what about the box I brought, honestly Gus!" I cried with an angry voice.
Unknowingly my voice was too loud, and made some of the employees who were still in the office glance at us. I tried to calm myself down, and tidied up my work equipment. I told Agus if he had to explain everything to me outside the office. From behind Agus following in my footsteps, he offered me a ride up to the boarding house.
"We can talk about this on the way, you with me just to the house of Om Dewa. Aren't we invited to dinner tonight?" agus said with a smile from the corner of his lips.
I did not immediately answer Agus' invitation, actually there was a little bit of a feeling of anxiety when Agus told the truth. I was afraid that if he was one of Leak's followers, my life might be threatened if I accepted his invitation.
...May Agus not be one of Leak's followers, and will Rania return to the boarding house with Agus? wait for the next story. ...
