Curious Spirit Courier
Kabar Escape

Ferdian and Reino are in a relationship after a week together. Reino is comfortable with Ferdian as well as Ferdian who is entertained by Reino who is considered like his own sister. With Reino, Ferdian forgets his sadness of being away from Mia and Agung.

Like this morning, Ferdian was preoccupied with making a speedy breakfast assisted by Ms. Siti, Reino's domestic assistant. 

"Rein, the eggs are half-cooked?"

"Yup, watch the cooking no more than ten minutes!" sahut Reino who so early is cool playing games.

"Mas Reino likes a half-cooked egg like this for breakfast, plus fruit or juice that pack." Ms. Siti added.

"Ohya, that's good. No wonder he is healthy. Just honey, spoiled!"

"I heard that clearly, ma'am!" reino exclaimed without turning away from the big screen in front of him.

Ferdian chuckled amusedly, before long a plate of healthy breakfast was ready. Two half-cooked eggs plus pieces of fruit for Reino. 

"Please young master!"

Reino clucked happily, "Wiih steady niih, why not from the first time we met the mas is quite good for a conversation" said Reino while breaking the eggshell.

"The fight is also right?" Ferdian stuffed Siti's fried rice into his mouth.

"That's obvious" Reino replaced his games with news on television.

"Today we go, mas, yuk! Bosen Mumpung no assignment from Thomas yet!"

"May, we spend money! Anyway I don't have a Rein shirt on I keep pinjem you."

"Good idea, I want to buy a new watch mas, will you choose?"

Ferdian nodded and the two continued the conversation. While coolly discussing the day's plans, Ferdian was surprised by the news. His eyes stared in disbelief at the television screen.

The murder of a family committed by a teenager. For some reason Ferdian's premonition was bad, he recognized the house. His parents' house, but who's occupying it now.

"What's wrong?" Reino asked out of curiosity. Ferdian's face turned serious and continued to stare at the television screen.

Ferdian still silently did not answer, he changed other channels and looked for the same news.

"No way, I hope it's not great." he sighed softly.

"Who, Grand? Mas boy, why?" Reino started to worry seeing the tension on Ferdian's face.

Ferdian's sharp gaze and the panic printed clearly on his face was enough to give Ferdian information of his current feelings. Reino waited for Ferdian to speak, but before long the bell rang. Lady Siti hurriedly approached Reino.

"Mas, there's a guest."

"Who's Ma'am?"

"I don't know, but the guy's dashing, handsome, bager menii alus pisan. If it wasn't wrong to say Malik."

Reino frowned in wonder, what was it Malik came for. He left Ferdian who was still fixated on seeing the horrendous news.

"For Rein, how are you?" The former senior courier smiled widely as he saw Reino approaching.

"Well, sir Malik came with a bodyguard?" tanya Reino peered over Malik's back.

The man who still looked young despite his ninety-year-old age nodded. "Those are important to me!" say it with a blink of an eye.

"Yes, yes .. Please sit down! There's a need for this early to come."

"I heard you have a partner? Ferdians?"

"It turns out gossip in the world of couriers is fast too. Right, there needs to be the same Ferdi mas?"

Malik raised the corner of his lips, slightly tilted his head and continued speaking. "I have bad news for him."

Reino was aghast, "Bad news?" He peered towards the living room and found Ferdian still seriously looking at the news. "Is this about his son?"

Malik's sharp gaze was enough to give Reino an answer to his question. "The mission this time will be very difficult because one of you must decide to stay or stop here."

"Thomas may not have told you yet but the mission against Tangkalaluk was deliberately given to see the extent of your abilities."

"Why should our capabilities be tested?"

"Ferdian will face the hardest part, he has a similar background as Thomas and me. You are a little different."

Reino let out a long sigh, "And I'm sure this exam will begin with the sadistic murder case this morning right?"

Malik nodded slowly, but then he smiled. "I'm sure you'll make it through this. My message is one, follow your heart and make your choice."

"Mas, where are you going?" Reino was surprised that Ferdian was already on the doorstep and prepared to leave.

"There's something I have to make sure of, Rein."

Malik stood up and prevented Ferdian from leaving. "Can we talk for a second?"

Ferdian turned his head towards Malik and also Reino, a faint nod visible from Reino signaling for Ferdian to follow Malik's will.

"I'm Malik."

The two take each other's positions and Ferdian can instantly see a glimpse of Malik's past as a courier.

"You, courier?"

"Yes, Mr. Malik is a senior courier." Reino.

"Exactly the courier." - Malik.

The three sat in silence as Bu Siti placed the honey tea cup on the table. Malik's bodyguard standing guard outside looked alarmed. After Bu Siti said goodbye, Malik with his remaining supernatural powers made a protective veil around them. Malik did not want their conversation to be heard and seen by a subtle nation or another human being.

"Ferdian, listen to me. It's not gonna be easy. The conditions are bad and I hope you can make a choice and act." Malik started talking.

"What does all this mean, Malik? Is it true that the family's killer is my son?" Ferdian asked withstanding the vibe of anger in the chest.

Malik looked at the two alternately, "I'm not a psychic, but I just know the situation will be difficult for you."

"Don't tell me this was all designed by Thomas just like they planned my death?!" 

"No, this time everything went according to fate. The murder, your son, and the two of you are living a unique destiny that just happens to be in line with your duty." Malik took a deep breath before returning to say something.

"I hope you prepare for the next mission. It will be very draining of your emotions and energy."

The night before, Ferdian left after Malik explained his condition. The approaching prohibition in the contract goes into effect even though her family is in danger. Malik promises to protect Mia and Agung. 

Ferdian sat dumbstruck staring at the dull photo in his wallet. 

"Everything's gonna be okay, Malik promised you, right?" Reino patted Ferdian on the shoulder, he thrust out a glass of orange juice.

"Orange juice's? No alcohol?" Ferdian rejects the glass containing the juice, he shifts it back on Reino.

"No, this is my house and you're following the rules here!" Reino slid the glass back.

Ferdian clucked in annoyance, "At least there's something that can calm my mind Rein!"

"Hmm, I think I know." Reino flicked his finger then,

"Mas Reeeiiiin .. I'm comiiiing! Who misses nyenyooong!"

Ferdian's eyes were perfectly rounded, "Oh God, he is again!"

"Mas Perdiiii!!! Akyu touuuh .. a beautiful chat from Sheila on sepeen for mas perdiiii which is again spoiled!"

"Campret, I'm amused by Rein!" 

Reino giggled amusedly at Ferdian shudder as John, who had turned into Janny, sang while touching his body.

A boisterous atmosphere was heard from Ferdian's swearing and Reino's laughter. John doesn't care if he keeps singing alternately between baritone and soprano voices. Ferdian's agitated heart was slightly amused by John's mad presence.

Meanwhile, in the darkness of the night and the cold of the pine forest, a teenage boy stumbled barefoot, his clothes stained with blood, wide gaping wounds clearly visible on his hands and head. His right eye could no longer open due to swelling and injury. Until at one point he fell on a pile of dried leaves, staring at the dim starry sky in his eyes.

Pah, mah, where are you?! Please Supreme!
