Chasing you with Pellets
35. Dying ...

Without Ratna realising it, Aprilia was also there and saw what happened. Aprilia also heard clearly Ratna and Rian's debate earlier.

Initially Aprilia and Rima who had become close friends decided to have lunch at the place because it was not too far from the company. When they arrived there they were forced to sit near the parking area because the restaurant was very crowded that afternoon.

"Here is the gapapa Pril ?" ask Rima.

"Yes, Abis wants to do it again. It's just this place that's empty, right ?" ask Aprilia.

"Actually I'd rather be in there. Wider and adem," said Rima.

"Yes. Next time we can sit inside. Now the hunt pesen gih, I'm hungry already," pinta Aprilia.

Rima nodded then rushed to the booking table. While Aprilia sat waiting while observing her surroundings. At that time his eyes accidentally saw Rian was chatting with his friends while eating lunch.

"Ngeliatin who is Pril, seriously very," said Rima.

"Cowok who again ate at the table was similar to Her Husband Bu Indri ga heh ?" tanya Aprilia hesitated.

"That's him. Why, confused ya ngeliat he can be as fun as the same friends ?" ask Rima.

"Yes. Though time to the office jutek really and rich do not have manners. How can you, rich guys have a lot of friends" said Aprilia.

Rima seemed to shake his shoulders reluctantly because he was not interested in discussing Rian. Aprilia also ended the discussion about Rian because she did not know Rian personally.

But soon Aprilia sees Rian walking out while pulling the arm of a woman who is none other than Ratna. Rian also took Ratna to the parking area right next to Aprilia and Rima's dining table. And there was a debate between Rian and Ratna.

After arguing Rian entered the restaurant while Ratna breezed away.

"So Bu Indri divorced her husband because of Ratna. How can ya ?. Don't-don't Ratna also use pellets to lure the man. If it's true, why a coincidence anyway," said Aprilia in her heart.

And Aprilia kept bringing thoughts of Ratna back to the office. It was not without reason that Aprilia thought of Ratna. Because when Ratna left the restaurant this afternoon, Aprilia saw a creature that resembled the pet of the mother was following Ratna.

Somehow Aprilia was worried about Ratna's safety. Aprilia wants to ask what happened to her mother later.

The pain and disappointment felt by Ratna because of Rian's attitude made him unable to control himself. Ratna also came to see the assistant shaman to ask for help once again.

When he arrived at the house of the assistant shaman he called Om, the atmosphere of the house was crowded. Many people who come there to ask for help the Om who is known as the intermediary of the famous shaman.

Ratna sat in one of the empty seats available. When he saw Ratna among the guests, the assistant shaman looked surprised. He saw Ratna's appearance that was much different than before. Ratna's face looks very pale with a thin body dry as if without the essence of life. Although it is covered with expensive makeup and out fit and a lot of jewelry, but it cannot cover the real condition of Ratna. The man could only look on his heart at Ratna knowing that Ratna was dying.

Although curious about what happened to Ratna, but the man could not go directly to Ratna. He must respect the rule that all guests who come can only be helped in the order of arrival.

Because of the wait, Ratna was able to get out of the house several times to get fresh air. And by nine o'clock at night Ratna could only meet the Om because by then all the guests had gone home.

"Om ..," call Ratna as the Om takes the last guest to the porch.

"I can't go home if my business isn't done, Om" said Ratna quickly.

Ratna's words made the man gasp in shock. The man looked at Ratna fixedly then let out a long sigh.

"What more do you want Ratna ?" ask the man later.

"Why did Rian change Om ?. Why is he getting away from me now. He even had the heart to say I did the actor ..," said Ratna riled.

"Can I ?" ask the man not to believe.

Ratna also told what happened including the spicy sentence that Rian threw at her. As Ratna told the story, the man continued to observe Ratna.

"You have violated Ratna's taboo ...," the man said after Ratna complained.

Although it was said casually but managed to make Ratna surprised not kepalang.

"I broke the taboo ?. Which challenge is Om ?" ask Ratna not to believe it.

"I don't know. But looking at your current condition, it feels like a weapon to eat sir. You want to bind Rian, but it is you who are shackled in a dark circle. You can't get out of there, Ratna. And Old Man can't help you either" said the man called Om, shaking his head.

"What do you mean Om ?. What shackles and why can't Old Man help me ?!" ask Ratna in fear.

The man called Om ignored Ratna's question. He turned around and prepared to close the door. Of course it made Ratna panic. He came there and waited for hours just to get help to conquer Rian. But not the help he got but the cruel verdict he heard.

"Om .., please tell me what's going on," Ratna pleaded while holding the closed door with her palm.

"You consumed something that had been smashed that you should have given to Rian. Here, do you understand Ratna ?" asked the man while looking fixedly at Ratna.

Ratna was shocked. He was trying to remember what he had done wrong. Ratna's body freezes as her memories drift back to the moment she contacts the man for his help multiple times. Ratna remembered back then that she was very angry because Rian insinuated her with a scathing sentence. But everything returned to normal after Ratna contacted the man before her.

But after that night everything changed 180°. Rian, who he was able to master at first, though still doing 'small resistance', slowly started to get out of control. Even Rian did not come home and leave him without news as if they had never had any relationship during this time.

"The co-coffee. What is coffee Om ...?" ask Ratna doubtfully.

"Rubber. And something else around you is chasing you. He's a lot ahead of him, that's why Old Man won't intervene. Not because it can't but because Old Man doesn't want to intersect. So you better get out of this house now Ratna. I don't want you to have a bad influence on this house" said the man, pushing Ratna's body against the door.

The man's last sentence left Ratna stunned. A moment later the woman was crying.

"So I'm dying Om ...?!" ratna asked from behind the door in a raucous voice.

There's no answer. The man called Om turned off all the lights in response. In an instant the house and its surroundings became pitch-black. Ratna knows what it means.

Ratna was forced to leave the place because the occupants of the house were no longer willing to help her.
