ARMY, DEAD (EPS. 3)
9. First Steps
Bruck...
Dimas, Arda and Daniel are shocked by something in Anita's backyard. They looked at each other, before finally feeling tense the three of them ventured to check towards the source of the voice. They walk like thieves. The dim lighting limited their vision, but it was still quite noticeable that something seemed to be hiding behind a flower plant that was lined up quite high in the corner of the courtyard. Arda took the initiative to take a stone the size of a fist, then threw the stone towards the plant that was moving because of something.
"Itahhhhh...." Dimas was shocked when the stray cat who was eating his prey jumped at him shortly after Arda threw a stone.
"Damn cat, don't know what other people parno." Dimas snorted in annoyance, while Arda and Daniel smiled at the incident, but they were relieved nothing bad happened.

The day had been near noon, this was the third day since Aini's past had returned. The concerns of Aini's friends have not been proven, all are still assumptions and limited to speculation to become a fear in yourself, but the worry has not occurred or may not be proven.
"ttttooooolllloooooonnngggggg..." A mother screamed hysterically at a group of people in all black clothes and wearing masks kidnapping someone, they smothered and put their victims in a minibus they had prepared, then quickly left the place before the cries of the mothers provoked the citizens and foiled their abduction, but there was no one to help the man. The man thrashed, trying to escape, but his efforts were in vain. The anesthetic they sprinkled on the cloth to smother him began to work, until in a short time the victim had lost consciousness. The surrounding atmosphere that seemed to be quiet made the kidnapping scene so fast and midah and left no trace. There was only one witness who saw it, and that was not clear.
"What's wrong?" Aini who heard the shout from inside the room looked at the window of Anita's room, which was there, Anita had stood up first to notice the situation outside that seemed like something bad was going on.
"Don't know, but that was Ani's mom screaming for help." Now Anita and Aini have seen a crowd of people who began to arrive after hearing the cry of Ani, who is none other than her neighbor. They find out what happened to the neighbor.
Anita and Aini who are curious finally choose to leave the house and find out what happened to her neighbor.
"Where are you going?" Not yet Anita opened the door, Diana's mother had already opened the front door, because earlier Diana became one of the people who were in the crowd of neighbors.
"That's why outside, ma'am?" The curious Anita did not respond to her mother's question, she preferred to directly ask revealing her curiosity.
"Oh, you guys don't come out, you're in danger." Diana didn't tell you what's going on out there.
"What's wrong, ma'am?" Anita is getting curious, her mother has not told her what really happened.
"That's, the grocer from the subscription store Bu Ani was there who kidnapped, serem, you guys do not go anywhere, danger." Miss Diana advised Anita and Aini.
Anita and Aini just nodded at what her mother advised.
It had been three days Aini stayed at Anita's house, and during that time nothing strange or suspicious happened. The existence of Anita's parents makes Dimas, Arda and Daniel can no longer stay at Anita's house. Anita's parents do not know the slightest about the problems faced by Anita and Aini, for that Dimas decided to keep Aini and Anita from afar.
A short note from Anita's phone, a sign that someone is texting her.
"Ta, the same cave Daniel went home first, because of the incident, the cave was afraid to be mistaken for one of their conspirators." Dimas and Daniel apparently saw the kidnapping, they saw it when they were in Dimas' car parked close to Anita's house, which of course aims to keep an eye on Anita's house from afar.
"Yes, this afternoon it's safe, you go home first, max for the help." Because the condition has been believed to be safe, and also the existence of both parents, Anita also allows Daniel and Dimas to go home.
As Dimas and Daniel leave, a motor sport passes slowly in front of Anita's house, with a black-glazed helmet covering her face, and then she stops and walks into Anita's courtyard.
Tok tok...
After being knocked down doubtfully by the person standing right in front of the front door of Anita's house, a woman opened it from the inside and smiled in a friendly manner.
"Who's looking, huh?" Miss Diana did not know the person before her.
"Sorry mom, is Anitanya there? I'm Anita." Arda introduced himself politely in front of Diana's mother.
"Oh, let's go in, son, sit down and call Anitya first." Not long after that, Anita came to Arda, but she was not alone, she met Arda together with Aini.
"How's it going?" Arda chatted to Anita and Aini.
"Hhhmmm, yes that's it." Anita responds to Arda kindly while Aini, she just smiles but stays silent. For Arda Aini's attitude like that is not a problem at all, which is important for him, he is happy to see that when Aini is fine.
"Oh yeah, where are the others? How come there wasn't any outside?" Arda with a deliberately slowed tone of voice asked Anita.
"They went home, because someone had been kidnapped, next door neighbor, so they were afraid of being mistaken for a plot." Anita explained to Arda in the same tone. They deliberately did that, because the problem that befell them at this time was completely unknown to both Anita's parents. They don't want to involve Anita's parents, and they think they're capable of solving the problem themselves.
"Yes, the cave came home first, if you need anything, just connect."
Before saying goodbye, Arda looked at Aini so deeply, as if she was speaking with her gaze.
