Don Gabriel Emerson lantern
Eps 59 - Terror
"What do you understand about business?" gabriel's spontaneous question made Firda immediately gasp, what else Gabriel was staring at his coldness at this moment.
"I don't know anything about business, I'm just telling you what's not good in our religion" Firda said gently hoping Gabriel didn't take it personally.
"I know what's good and what's not good in my life, you're my wife but the work I do is not your business to judge whether it's good or not" gabriel then stepped out of bed. Makes Firda feel guilty because like he said it in the wrong time, but Firda just does not want her husband to do something that should not be done.
"Where are you going?" firda asked when he saw Gabriel walking to the exit and Gabriel who heard Firda's question ignored him in the least. Gabriel kept walking out and Firda immediately grabbed her hijab, she shouts Gabriel out of the room.
Firda is looking for Gabriel because she has lost track of her husband, Firda tries to find Gabriel but he never finds her. I don't know where her husband is now.
''Stupid me, definitely offended tuh people" muttered Firda. Having found no trace of Gabriel, Firda decides to return to his room.
Firda paced back and forth in her room while thinking about Gabriel. The ringing of the phone in her bag shocked Firda. He reached into his cell phone and he immediately answered the call from Ummi.
"Assalamualaikum, Ummi.." said Firda.
"Greetings waalaikum, Firda. You home?"
"Again at his resort Om Gabriel, Ummi" replied Firda lethargic.
"What are you guys doing there?"
"So the road, keep stopping by...."
"Is your husband still good, Fir?"
"Alhamdulillah is still good, Ummi. But...."
"But why?"
"Yet Firda had a wrong talk, Firda's sin, Ummi. Make your husband offended"
"What's he talking about, Fir?"
"That's... Om Gabriel showed me a photo of his club...
"Club ball? your husband likes balls? Well, it fits Abi mu, Fir. Where's the club?"
"No, Ummi. Postive thinking so much Ummi nih.." replied Firda was anxious because Ummi Nyerocos just like that "Club, as on tv that Ummi always watch, that there are people dancing while drunk"
"Astagfirullah, keep going? Ummi was thinking there, but cook yes... It really is yes"
"Yes yes, Firda also tried positive thinking. Firda just said that anything related to alcohol and gambling is not good because his club Om the contents are so, but Om Gabriel offended like him"
"That's it, Fir. Understandably she was offended, if you've just become her wife but have commented on her business"
"Yes, Firda understands. He is Firda's husband, Ummi. What Firda eats, wears, it's all from Om Gabriel. And Firda just wants it all to be halal"
"Yes you're right too, Fir. Maybe you're on the wrong time or wrong way to deliver, son. The man sometimes has a high ego, if you directly blame him clearly, yes it must be difficult to accept. Try to talk slowly, gently, heartily, and definitely find the right time. And one more thing, if you're talking to that husband don't talk like you're patronizing him, yeah"
"Yes, Firda understands. Like Firda is the wrong way of delivery, what else Om Gabriel must be tired too"
"Yes, you're talking to him, sorry good. Sayin, you don't mean to patronize, just remind"
"Yes, Ummi"
.........
Gabriel was really upset at Firda at this time, it was rations can not still be complained about his business. In all his life, no one had ever dared to complain about anything Gabriel did. Whether it's right or wrong, though,
Gabriel lives by using his logic as well as his profit and loss calculations. For Gabriel, that's his bad good.
"But pity Firda too, I snapped at him earlier. Want to say again, already upset because of having to fast again in addition to his comments.." grumbled Gabriel who is currently walking without direction.
.........
Firda saw someone similar to Gabriel, he followed him and even half-run. The man went into a room and Firda also entered the room but it was really dark inside.
"Om Gabriel.." exclaimed Firda as she slowly stepped. There was no illumination in the room that made Firda could not see anything.
"Om, why are the lights off?" ask Firda while stepping again and suddenly he hit someone "Om.." cried Firda again but the person in front of him was just silent like a statue, just like a statue, however Firda could hear the roar of his breath. Firda begins to suspect that the man is not Gabriel, the feeling of wasp begins to overwhelm Firda and slowly she steps back. Firda turned around and he immediately ran to find the exit.
Firda found the door but he could not open it.
"Please... There's someone outside, I'm locked in here. Help me!!!!" firda shouted in panic, what more as he heard the approaching footsteps from behind him.
"Help me, Om Gabriel.." cried Firda and again he banged on the door with all his might. Firda was already sweating and he was already almost crying in fear.
"Gio.." cried Firda again.
"Open the door I beg you!!!!"
"Of Gabriel!!!"
"Guo!!!!"
The steps behind her sounded closer and closer, Firda tried to open the door but it was still locked. Now Firda's tears can not be contained anymore, he also sagged to the floor slowly with a body that vibrates because of his crying. And at that very moment, there was a flick of the door and Firda looked up. Followed by the door that was kicked and Firda saw Gio in front of him who was ready with a weapon in his hand.
"Gio's... Gio, there's someone inside" Firda fights while standing and he takes cover behind Gio's body.
Gio pointed his weapon forward and he entered the room slowly, Gio fumbled the switch and then turned on the light. When the lights were bright, no one was visible there. It made Firda dumbfounded and also shuddered in horror, because Firda was very sure that there were people there.
"Mrs Firda, there is no one here" Gio said as he turned around and faced Firda.
"No way, Gio. There was someone here..."
"How can you be here?" ask Gio then.
"Finding Om Gabriel, I just saw him come in here" Firda panicked.
"Mrs Firda, calm down." said Gio gently "You better go back to the room"
"But Gio..."
"I beg you, Madam. If anything happens to you, Don Gabriel will punish me "gio's words succeeded in making Firda unable to fight anymore. Given how Gabriel Hanpir had fired Rose just because of Firda's petty complaints.
"But there was someone in this room, I accidentally bumped into him"
"Maybe a ghost..."
"Astagfirullah, not Gio. The ghost couldn't touch the ground, he was walking, touching the ground"
"Madam, this floor is not ground, it's ceramic" hearing Gio's resistance made Firda cluck annoyed and he rushed back to his room. Because both Gio and Gabriel like him are rigid people who cannot understand human language.
As Firda returned to her room, Gio's phone rang. He also answered the phone call.
"What's wrong?"
"....."
"Not yet the time..."
"...."
"No, I'll decide"
"...."
"I know what's best and what's not"
