#3. OKB (The New Rich) a.k.a Doni Damaryanto's Assignment
I spent most of the day in the bathroom. Last night's events disgusted me, horrified and in a daze. My hands continued to rub all over my body, hoping to dispel the horrors that were still felt.
Everything, futile... Black feathers are thick all over the body, a pair of red highlights that radiate between the forehead and nose, grins and creepy laughter from the creature that seems not to want to go away. Even if it's a dream, why does it all feel so real. I screamed hysterically, sobbing, remembering my stupidity.
"Dhea.." Mbak Reni's call surprised me, "Are you okay ?" He asks. I'm silent, I'm fine or not, stupid, I don't know what to answer.
Knock the door from outside the bathroom for the umpteenth time, forcing me to get out of the bathtub and open the door. Ms. Reni stood on the doorstep, without any hesitation, I jumped up and hugged her, my cries exploded, I could not hold her anymore.
"Loe... Lo... Lo, you're why, Dhe..." Reni said as she patted my back which moved up and down.
"A... A... I am ashamed to meet anyone," I whined while wiping away the pungent smell on the sidelines of Isak my cry.
"What are you talking about ?" ask Reni.
"Every night I.... L'm.... L'm... Make love with.." I didn't continue my words, my crying became more and more.
"Hey... You're talking digress," Reni snapped, "When we came in, you were alone. Indeed, we were surprised to see you fall apart. But, there really is no one there" explained Reni.
Reni's explanation did calm me down a bit, "Ta... Ta's... But, i... I..tu," I said nervously.
"Ah, stop.... Are you done or not? If so, get out quickly. Soon there will be a meeting" said Reni.
I said, after drying my body and dressing well, I went to the lobby, where Mr. Jonas and others were already sitting, some waiters were preparing breakfast. All day long, I didn't dare look at Mr. Jonas's face. As our eyes collided, I hurriedly threw my face away, I felt my cheeks blushing red, making me even more misbehaved.

A picture of a two-story luxury house in the style of a Dutch architect, complete with an interior and a swimming pool. That is what the Lord thrust before me while in my new office. The young architect explained in detail the materials and the cost of their construction. The house is set in a rice field area and a row of mountains and hills. My dream since childhood was only a dream because I did not come from a rich family like the Dhea family. But, now that I am able to make it happen, I do not need to feel awkward or discouraged when dealing with Dhea, the wife I always loved and loved. Jonas, now for me it's just a bug fly. He's nothing more than me.

"Italian Barbeque ?" ask Dhea, "Seriously ?"
I nodded, "Right. No, you like it ?"
"Italian barbecues are expensive, mas... Besides here, where's anybody selling ?" ejek Dhea's.
"There was. How about we leave tonight ?" my challenge.
Dhea looked at me in wonder, I looked back at her, she was beautiful, I should be able to make her happy even though I knew she had betrayed me. I deliberately kept my situation a secret that had changed drastically, I wanted to give him a surprise.
"You're serious, um ?" Dhea doesn't believe it.
"Let's go. Indeed, the distance between WestFood Mania Resto and our home is far away. I'll call my friend first, hopefully he'll be ready to take us there, while, wash your body first and put on the clothes I have prepared on the edge of the bed. Let's not make you look that lethargic,"
According to Dhea, he immediately went to the bathroom which was built into one with the bedroom. After his body disappeared in a curve, I pulled out my phone, pressed the number on the keypad. After waiting not long, I was already connected to the voice of the man across there.
"BMW X7 PLUS, soon," I said.
"Ready, boss," said the man across and the phone call ended.
While waiting for Dhea, I indulged myself by sitting on the sofa I just bought a few days ago, this pair of eyes looked at the ceiling of the room.

The sound was almost inaudible for that I ignored it because it could be that the night wind that broke through the trees in the front yard of the house and went inside through the vent could make a strange sound. However, the second call made me start to feel uneasy. I looked around the room, there was no one in the room.
The third call sounded clearer and the direction came from the front page. I peeked out through the gaps of the window curtains. There's no one. On the front page.
" Doni," the voice came from inside, right behind me, I turned and ...
A woman was standing right in front of me, her face was similar to that of Dhea, my wife, but clearly that woman was not Dhea. Dhea's skin is not that pale, Dhea's eyes look sharper piercing, not empty, as cold and as clean as the woman.
"The teacher sent you, didn't he ?" my many.
The woman did not answer, but rather grinned horribly.
"Go, you... Please tell him, I didn't forget the ritual, just find the right victim, that's all" I said.
The figure remained silent, motionless. For a moment we stood face to face, looking at each other, silent. My eyes turned towards his stomach.
My stiff jaw saw as if in his stomach something was moving: spinning, up and down, drowning on the surface of his skin and flesh. And...
"Ccrroott's..."
A black object the size of a human head, burst out, tearing through the entire network of blood vessels in its abdomen. Black blood spurted out splashing and soaked my face and clothes, some of it soaked almost the entire room.
The black thing jumped up, lunged at me, it moved so fast, I didn't expect it, my body slammed backwards. As the figure opened its mouth there appeared a row of pointed teeth, saliva flowing from between them, dripping, smelling a stinging foul scent. I was almost desperate when the pointed ends of my teeth stuck to my neck. My eyes were closed, waiting for death to come, but....
I opened my eyes, found myself lying on the floor and Dhea looking at me in wonder.
"Fuckin' dream !!" my sift.
"You okay, ma'am ?" dhea asked, "Your face is pale, are you sick ?" while wiping the sweat that soaked my forehead and face.
"It's okay, honey.... You, you look so beautiful tonight" I said. Dhea lowered her red face, she looked adorable no wonder many people Adam wanted her to be a wife.
"These dresses are beautiful and nice, mas... Where did you buy it,"
I smile. She looks so happy, that's what I was hoping for. As he was about to answer his question, a car horn sounded from the front. Guided by Dhea, I stood up and in the courtyard of the house was waiting for a luxury sedan.
I glanced at Dhea, her pair of eyes twinkling at the metallic-colored BMW X7 Plus.
"Do you like it ?" my many.
Dhea nodded. I smiled, "That's yours. Let's go now," take me with her hand. We stepped out and immediately left the place.
"Seriously, mas ?" ask Dhea.
I nodded and smiled kindly.
