DEVIL SNARES
CHAPTER 10
🍀 BAYU INDEED BLOATED - Part 3 🍀
Apparitions beside the hotel balcony make Bayu creeped and surprised. As if real or imaginary, the creepy appearance was similar to the face of Rudi, his friend.
'Devil! What is Rudi! Stupid demon!'
Either out of fear or out of disbelief, Bayu cursed in his heart. Instantly the apparition disappeared as Ningsih called Bayu.
"Mas, come here. Here's the order already coming." call Ningsih from inside the room.
"Eh, yes, yes."
Bayu rushed in, trying to shift his mind about the apparition earlier. Ningsih ordered wine, full steak, salads, and onion rings.
"Well, what is this food? I don't understand. Never eaten before. If this is a fine drink. Different is much the same ciu or slanted hat." said Bayu while laughing, laughing at himself.
"Mas, you're so funny. This drink is wine, Mas, some kind of wine. If it's wong londo (western people), Mas! If Mas likes, we can eat like this constantly" Ningsih explained then kissed Bayu's cheek. Bayu also felt very meaningful.
"If every day, yes, extravagant, Ningsih. You get fat like this, you know. Haha ...."
Ningsih then pinched Bayu's distended stomach. Bayu was even more excited to spend the food. Imagine what they would do after eating.
Bayu and Ningsih do not understand who first started the incident after eating. However, throughout the afternoon they were full of sweat and then fell asleep. In the evening, they woke up after giving each other pleasure.
Ningsih took a shower. Cleanse his body and refresh his body. Suddenly, Bima came.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, NINGSIH! HOW DARE YOU FUCK THAT GUY WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!"
Bima's voice was blaring in the bathroom.
'M-sorry, Bima. My fault. I can't control my desires. Sorry ...' jawba Ningsih inwardly with trembling.
"IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT, MARRY THAT GUY! IN TWO MONTHS I'LL TAKE IT! REMEMBER NINGSIH, DON'T YOU RASH ANYMORE!"
'B-well, Bima. Thank ye. I'll get her married soon.'
Ningsih immediately put on clothes and came out of the bathroom. Bayu was fully dressed and as if in a hurry to see the moon wrapped in the dark night.
"Mas, why the rush?" said Ningsih gently while stroking Bayu's shoulder.
"Okay, Ningsih. It's already night. My wife must be looking for. The kids are waiting too. If you don't come home with money, they don't eat" said Bayu who felt very guilty and anxious about the condition of his two children. Although Bayu committed a delicious sin, it is undeniable that his heart still thinks of his two children.
"Oh, is that what makes Mas nervous? If Ningsih makes an interesting offer, does Mas want to?" Ningsih smiled spoiled.
"What, Ningsih? Just don't tell me to leave my kids and wife, yeah."
"Yes, Mom, I get it. If Mas wants to marry me, I will guarantee Mas's life even his wife and two children."
"I mean Ningsih?" Bayu wildly could not believe what Ningsih said just now.
"So gini Mas, I want to make a deal ama Mas. We marry Siri and Mas will live in an apartment near my business branch.
"What is it, Ningsih? Sure enough? I want to!" replied Bayu who easily fell into Ningsih's embrace.
'Wow, if this is a windfall! Only strong capital indehoy can dapet money, bahenol women are rich, baby dapet money enough. Ah, if you know from the first time there is good work like this .. uh, continue in Rudi where if Ningsih wants to be with me?' Mayu thought and was a little suspicious. However, greed makes it no matter the fate of Rudi.
"Come on, let's go home first. It's night." It's night."
They went home and throughout the journey Ningsih continued to praise Bayu's valour. Feeling on the clouds. Bayu was lulled by Ningsih's words without being able to think clearly.
***
They also arrived at the base area. The coffee shop is clearly closed and there is no visible Bayu motorbike there. Ningsih took the initiative to drive Bayu home, but could only reach the end of the alley.
Before taking Bayu home, they hugged and kissed in the car. Ningsih took the money from her bag.
"Mas, this is for Mas's wife and two children. Immediately send Aji to school, Mas. Mas just said this salary was taken in advance for the sign so it works. I'll go first, Mas. See you tomorrow morning." said Ningsih who released the return of the man.
Ningsih passed by with her car. Bayu walked to his house. Ningsih gave Bayu five million rupiah. A lot of numbers for Bayu.
From a distance, Bayu saw his two children and his beloved wife in front of the house. As if they were worried and waiting for the arrival of Bayu.
"Bapaaac!" yelled Aji while running towards Bayu.
"Yeah, good Aji, how have you not slept?" said Bayu who immediately hugged his son.
"Wait for you to come home. I'm the same mom, too. What, new clothes? Good too." asked Aji who was still innocent.
"Yes, Aji tomorrow also buy new clothes, yes. You got a good job."
Bayu hugged his son tightly. Then arriving at home, Bayu explained to his wife and children about his new job being a 'personal driver' with a fantastic salary.
Narti, Aji and Aan are happy. Unceasingly grateful. Fittingly, there was the sound of a roving fried rice seller. They called and ordered four servings of fried rice.
Indeed, since noon, the wife and children of Bayu have not eaten. They ate the fried rice. Not usually, they can eat a portion for a person. They are very grateful without understanding the bad luck lurking Bayu.
Rudi's spirit tried to commemorate Bayu but failed. Rudi became one of Ningsih's greed. Rudi died horribly in the villa with the condition torn apart by Bima and full of blood.
Ningsih accidentally did not go to the villa because of disgust at the condition of Rudi. Bima also clean it easily. No one noticed Rudi's departure. Even his father Rudi died tragically.
***
Arriving at home, Ningsih felt tired and fell asleep. In his sleep, he dreamed of meeting an old man who last time cursed him. His father Rudi came in Ningsih's dream.
It felt very real, as the old man cursed and held Ningsih accountable. Ningsih felt suffocated and woke up instantly as the dawn prayer rumbled.
'Good thing it was just a dream! You trashy guy and old guy sucks! Dead is still a bitch!' aspersed in the Heart. Ningsih fell asleep again because it was still dawn and cold.
