Chasing you with Pellets
14. Entry Trap

Aprilia arrives in front of Ricki's room. With doubt he knocked on the door. As Ricki's voice rang out asking him to come in, Aprilia carefully opened the door.

When the door opened Aprilia saw Ricki was busy facing the report file on her desk. The man also seemed to focus on observing a piece of paper without looking at the door that April slowly opened.

"Good morning Mr. ..," said Aprilia.

"Congratulations pa ... April ?" call Ricki while holding her head up to look at Aprilia.

"I-iya Sir. Sorry if I was interrupting. Me ... I'm here to ask about the material compensation that yesterday I scissors it Sir," said Aprilia nervously.

"Which stuff is yes. How did I forget ?" ricki asked as she watched Aprilia from head to toe.

Ricki's speech and attitude of course make Aprilia confused. Is it not usual that companies never forgive their employees make mistakes ?. But why Ricki seems to pretend to forget Aprilia's mistake.

As if he was aware of his attitude that was different from usual, Ricki immediately turned his eyes to another direction. The man looked down his head for a moment. Ricki asked Aprilia to sit down.

"You can be a little more polite, April. Sitting down first just explained what became uneg-uneg You," Ricki scolded as he glanced at the chair in front of him.

"Oh yes. Ma-maaf Mr. ..," said Aprilia then rushed to sit in a chair directly opposite to Ricki's desk.

Ricki smiled and started asking a few questions in Aprilia.

"So I have to indemnify the company how many sir ?" ask Aprilia later.

"What money do you have ?" ask Ricki.

"Ga a lot of it. Honestly, at this time I do not have money because the payday money yesterday has run out to finance my Mama's treatment" said Aprilia.

I don't know why Aprilia's speech touched Ricki. The man suddenly felt sorry for Aprilia. If usually Ricki will offer a solution with a 'pay cut' on every employee who wants to recoup the company's losses, but this time not.

Ricki actually freed Aprilia from the responsibility of reimbursing the company's losses. Not only that, Ricki actually gave some money to Aprilia to make the girl confused.

"This ... What money is sir ?" aprilia asked as she stared at the envelope containing several pieces of money hundreds of thousands of rupiah in front of her.

"Take it as a form of my sympathy. I'm proud of you for sacrificing your salary to treat your parents" Ricki said.

"But sir, this is a lot ...," said Aprilia.

"Father, take Pril. I am sincere. If you don't want to, you can give the money to your Mama. I'm sure the money must be useful in his hands" Ricki said with a smile.

Aprilia was silent for a moment then nodded. In her heart Aprilia cheered happily at Ricki's gentle demeanor. Aprilia did not expect that other than Ricki was not angry because he had made a mistake, Ricki even gave him a fantastic amount of money.

"Three million ...," Aprilia murmured while glaring.

At that time Aprilia accidentally went into the toilet to check the contents of the envelope given Ricki.

Because she was happy, Aprilia laughed while shaking her head.

"Yes aampuunn .., I don't know if the results can be as amazing as this. Mama must be very happy," said Aprilia in between her laughter.

But Aprilia's laughter had to come to a halt as the voices of two janitors were heard entering the toilet.

After putting an envelope with money in her pocket, Aprilia rushed out of the toilet.

Meanwhile in his room Ricki looked restless. Many times he damaged his hair violently due to loss of concentration.

"Duh .., why suddenly so gini not focus anyway," muttered Ricki while leaning his body on the back of the chair.

"Aprilia. So good of a Cassian, she is. Pantesan often daydream during working hours. Don't know he is confused about how to set his salary money so that it is enough to treat his mother as well as for daily needs. If so, there is no harm in being helped. Who knows, he could add to it. Come to think of it Aprilia is beautiful too. It doesn't feel shy to be invited to the road, too" whispered Ricki with a big smile.

And after mentioning the name Aprilia, somehow the spirit of Ricki who had decreased earlier rose again. The man straightened his body and refocused on the file sheet on his desk.

Aprilia seems to be running a little down the sidewalk. Since getting off the employee bus, Aprilia kept running. He did not care even though his actions made people look suspiciously at him. When almost reaching the house of the mother Aprilia stopped running to regulate breathing.

Aprilia looked at the mother's house with a smile. He imagined the reaction of the mother when he heard the good news he brought. And Aprilia's smile grew even more when she saw the mother coming out of the house to water ornamental plants in front of the house.

"Mamaaaa ...!" call Aprilia out loud.

Fitria turned her head and smiled seeing Aprilia standing up while waving her hands. Fitria waved her hand back. He knew something had happened to his daughter.

Aprilia ran back and slid into the arms of her mother. Fitria screamed out of fear of falling. Because Aprilia was too strong to push her body until the wheelchair that was occupied by Fitria was slightly stretched backwards.

Instead of apologizing, Aprilia actually laughed and it made Fitria upset.

"You are yes. Will you make Mama fall ?!" said Fitria while pinching Aprilia's cheek

"Sorry Ma. Sorry ...," said Aprilia with a laugh.

"Laughter continues to be daritadi. What the hell is it ?" fitria asked then shortly after Aprilia stood straight before her.

"There are.., uh but I have something for Mama" said Aprilia, taking the envelope out of her bag and thrusting it into her.

Fitria seemed to frown for a moment. But a second later with sprightly Fitria took the envelope containing the money and checked the contents.

"Cih, pake pretended to be shocked by everything. Where ever did Mama refuse money," Aprilia quipped while sneering but Fitria did not seem to care.

"This is Pril's money, you got a bonus huh ?" ask Fitria after counting the amount of money inside the envelope.

"That's with Mr. Ricki Ma" said Aprilia.

"Dikasih, how can it be ?" ask Fitria not understand.

Aprilia told me what happened. He also explained Ricki's expression when talking to him earlier. Hearing the child's words made Fitria laugh.

"That's right. Mama said what too. That Ricki must have immediately bent his knees with you Pril. Apparently the spell worked faster huh. Though Mama took a week to make Papa You subjugate first," said Fitria with a sparkling face.

"The time is Ma. Not that Mama said the spell would work five to ten minutes after we read it," said Aprilia as she stared fixedly at the mother.

"Oh, about that Mama lied to Pril. Mama just as long as I said that," said Fitria casually.

Of course, Fitria's reply made Aprilia shake her head. The girl did not think that the mother was lying to her just because she wanted to use the knowledge as soon as possible.

"We're going in now. I want the Maghrib. Ntar abis eat We make a new strategy so that your Manager wants to propose to you immediately. Mama Seneng, because it is still early she can give this much money as you. It's a pity how much money he will give you if you manage to marry him later," said Fitria with sparkling eyes.

"Yes Ma. I can't wait to be his wife, too" said Aprilia.

Then Aprilia helped push the mother's wheelchair into the house. After that Aprilia closed the door without realizing that something was standing behind her and was staring at her intensely.

It turned out that when Aprilia closed the door, a female ghost similar to a kuntilanak that Aprilia had seen was standing behind her. The female ghost smiled at the happiness of Aprilia and Fitria. And as the door closed, the female ghost darted quickly towards the window of Aprilia's room.
