Chasing you with Pellets

Seeing Ricki lying on the floor of his study makes Adi, one of the supervisors at the factory was panicked.

Before entering and checking Ricki's condition that seemed not okay, Adi had called two employees who happened to pass to help him.

"Sir Ricki fainted. We take him to the clinic or call his doctor here, sir ?" ask one of the employees.

"We'll take it straight to the clinic. Who knows, they will have to be taken to the hospital. If from the clinic it is easier because there deket same parking," said Adi.

"Well sir," said two factory employees together.

Then Adi and two employees carried Ricki's body out of his room. Can be guessed how the reaction of all employees and factory workers when they saw Ricki was carried out in a fainting condition.

Panic moods also occur. Although only briefly but managed to make the plant operations stalled. Aprilia who was at her desk also seemed to frown when she heard the noise at the end of the room.

"The direction from Ricki's room. What's up ?" ask Aprilia inwardly.

And Aprilia's question was soon answered when a workwoman screamed hysterically.

"Sir Ricki passed out ?. Why did he faint ?!" said the karyawati with a made-up voice and body gesture.

And the woman's loud voice managed to attract the attention of everyone including Aprilia. Even Aprilia stopped her work and rushed to the crowd near the door of the factory.

Aprilia was shocked to see Ricki being carried by the three men. Aprilia moved forward to see more clearly.

"Sir Ricki why ?. Why did he faint ?!" ask Aprilia loudly.

"We don't know either. Please step aside first. We want to take Mr. Ricki to the clinic to be treated" Adi said.

"I'm coming with !" aprilia.

"Come," said Adi.

Although it did not get a good response, but Aprilia did not care. He followed Adi and two colleagues who brought Ricki's body from behind.

But Aprilia's move came to a halt as Tania rebuked him loudly.

"You can't leave April. Get back to your desk now !" tania said loudly.

"Sorry Mom, you can't. I have to go get Ricki. She ...," Aprilia's speech was interrupted because Tania cut quickly.

"I don't care. It's still working hours and you have a lot of work to do. If you stop, how do your other colleagues work. You know that everyone is counting on you. They can work if the fabric you cut is available" Tania said.

"But I cut a lot of cloth. I think it's quite until an hour ahead.Now Mr. Ricki is sick. I just want ...," again Aprilia's speech was interrupted.

"I remind you once again Aprilia !. It's still working hours and you have to be professional. It's not time to use that melancholy feeling of yours now. Even if you are his wife, the main job. Understand you ?!" said Tania while looking at Aprilia sharply.

Tania's speech surprised everyone but not Aprilia. At that time it was clear that Tania was showing a higher position than Aprilia in the company. Aprilia knows, in addition to showing her position, Tania is also venting her regret for losing to compete with her in the fight for Ricki's love.

Not without reason Tania behaved like that to Aprilia. Apparently when he first entered the factory and served as a supervisor, Tania was immediately interested in Ricki. But unfortunately Ricki refused it and firmly said if he had a lover. Not only that, Ricki also compared Tania to her lover who was none other than Aprilia.

Aprilia seemed to approach Tania and looked at her two eyes boldly.

"Why?, would you dispute me ?. Here I am correct April, so I suggest that you go back to your desk," Tania said as she pointed at Aprilia's desk with her index finger without once taking her gaze off Aprilia.

Aprilia grunted annoyedly. Without speaking, he obeyed Tania's orders. While stepping towards her desk, Aprilia accidentally bumped into Tania's shoulder with her shoulder to make the woman almost fall. Of course it made Tania angry. The woman growled while trying to pull the end of Aprilia's hair.

"Bad you are. You ...," Tania's words were interrupted as Aprilia turned around and stared intently at him.

Tania stunned. It was not only Aprilia's words that shocked her but also the cold aura that emanated from Aprilia's body as she uttered the threatening-pitched sentence.

After threatening Tania, Aprilia turned her body and quickly stepped towards her desk. Tania was still standing on the spot while trying to regulate her breathing which somehow felt congested all of a sudden.

The debate Aprilia and Tania had finally become the talk of the entire factory. Some sided with Aprilia because they did not like Tania's arrogant attitude. But others sided with Tania and felt represented by Tania's actions.

Although everyone knows the relationship between Aprilia and Ricki, but the attention of Aprilia still makes all employees, especially female employees, feel upset.

"That's a hell of a lie" said one employee.

"You know," said the other while sneering.

"Surely because he had many requests so that Mr. Ricki was thinking, continued to hurt," said another woman while staring hatefully at Aprilia.

"It's that way. What's so interesting about Aprilia. Maybe Mr. Ricki has a crush and make him a girlfriend. Even though the prettier and more beautiful than Aprilia is a lot," said a karyakwati while observing herself as if she wanted to show if she was more worthy to accompany Ricki than Aprilia.

Aprilia simply smiled at the innuendo. He hears it often but doesn't care. For Aprilia he is the winner of that competition and that is more than enough.

Shortly afterwards Adi and two employees who had helped carry Ricki to the clinic seemed to waltz into the factory. Aprilia rushed over to Adi and asked.

"Where is Mr Ricki, Mas ?" ask Aprilia.

"Still fainting Ma'am. Kaya wants to be taken to a large Hospital because the equipment in the clinic is not complete," said Adi.

"What pain did Mr Ricki ?. Why must I be transported to the Hospital ?" ask Aprilia worriedly.

"I don't know Ma'am. He went straight to the clinic. Ask the doctor directly Helmi," said Adi.

Aprilia fell silent as she stared in all directions and saw Tania walking closer to her. Before Tania returned 'reproving' because she was chatting during working hours, the voice of a security was heard calling Aprilia.

"Mbak April is called Mr. Ricki now !" said the security loudly.

"Yes sir !" sahut Aprilia with a mocking smile towards Tania.

Without wasting any time Aprilia rushed away leaving Tania who could only look at her angrily. Aprilia knew Tania wouldn't be able to hold her because Ricki's position was higher than Tania's.

Arriving at the clinic Aprilia was also surprised to find Yuna who was still lying unconscious there.

Meanwhile in a room in Ricki's house.

Phitria seemed to be trying to regulate his breath that was wheezing. It seems that Fitria had just performed a ritual. For at that moment Phitria sat before a table with some plates of offerings on it. All over the body and face of Fitria also looks wet with sweat. Even so, Fitria seemed to smile with satisfaction.

"Funny. It's a lot of fun, '" said Fitria, shaking her head.

After saying that sentence, Fitria laughed out loud. His shrill laughter sounded out of the room.

Ricki's housekeeper named Mbok Kar also heard Fitria's laughter. I don't know why the woman was scared when she heard Fitria's laughter.

"Ngetawain what the hell sampe ticklish so. But the laugh is that Bu Fitria is very different. If you think about it even like the sound of kuntilanak, "inner mbok Kar while shaking his shoulders.

Because he could not bear the sound of Fitria's laughter, mbok Kar also stepped out of the house because of fear.
