Feel Scared

Dances

Abi took a glass of warm water and gave it to me. "Drink! You must be very surprised. Good thing you didn't sleep at the cafe last night. Huft..."

I took the drink Abi gave me and drank it. I see Abi very emotional. He rubbed his face with annoyance.

"Today, don't go anywhere. In the cafe. At least being here is safer than being home alone. I'm going to make a report to the police and I have to go to the showroom because there's a meeting. You can I stay a while, right?" it looks like Abi is very heavy leaving me.

I'm nodding. I placed the glass on the table and looked at it with a reassuring look. "I'm doing fine. I'll be careful and if there's anything suspicious I'll call the police!"

"What about? I don't want to leave you alone like this. I don't feel good! Or I'll just cancel today's meeting?"

"Don't! I'm not here alone. Abi take it easy. There's security on guard and there's my employees here. In sha Allah I will be fine." I said reassuring Abi who looked so anxious.

Abi tapped his finger on the table. Seemed to be thinking hard but gave up because they did not find the right solution.

"How about you stay with Mama and Papa for a while?" after thinking for a long time.

"Then this cafe?"

"We'll just close it! What matters is that you survived!"

I grabbed Abi's hand and grabbed it. His hands are cold. I spoke softly to Abi. "There are employees here who depend on the life of the cafe. If the cafe closes, what about them? I know Abi can definitely pay their salaries for a while, but that means we will start pioneering this cafe from the beginning. Customers will think the no-no and will leave this cafe at the end. Go not solve the problem, Bi."

"What matters is that you're safe, honey. I don't care about this cafe. I'm too afraid of the safety of you and our baby-to-be!"

It was seen how much Abi loved me and the baby in my womb. He was afraid we were both hurt. Evidence of love that He did not say but He showed so clearly.

I breathed deeply. "In sha Allah we will be fine. Abi take it easy!"

Abi stared fixedly into my eyes. Looks like Abi's convinced that I'm gonna be okay.

"Then you're in the room. Don't come out at all! Let your employees work today!" still worried about Abi, it can't be that easy to leave me.

"I'm in the kitchen, then? I want to help my employees. I didn't meet any customers. If I'm like this, Abi can calm down, right?" i relented. Just follow Abi's will rather than Abi's unsettled and cancel the important meeting?

"Are you not serving the buyer? I'll keep an eye on the cafe from the CCTV. If anything suspicious should call me!"

"Yes Abi... Yeah..."

Abi gathered all my employees together and gave instructions to protect me if anyone wanted to do harm. Abi told me about the terror of the rat carcass we found this morning and asked all my employees to be more careful again.

Abi left after finally believing that I would be okay. Although I know he is not calm but still has to work. Showroom is having a problem. Can't just be left out. Today's meeting is very important, if not Abi left.

I was busy in the kitchen. Making sponge cake and snacks for today's storefront. I'm actually bored, but I promised I wouldn't serve the buyer.

Abi came in the afternoon and checked on me. Seeing me okay, he immediately hugged me while sighing in relief.

"Thank God you're okay! I couldn't make a concession since. Afraid you're okay."

"I'm doing fine. Abi want to eat?" my many.

Abi nodded. I brought him food. Abi ate in my room greedily.

"Had not had lunch yet? How do you feel like that?" my guess.

"Don't do it, Bi. Abi's primary health. What kind of stomach pain?"

"Just calm. I am strong. How was it at the cafe? Nothing suspicious, right?"

"Alhamdulillah everything is fine. Maybe it's just a bluff, Bi. Wouldn't do anything more serious!" I said relax.

"I'm not sure. From the way he sent terror, it is certain that people who have a lot of money. The culprit paid a professional. Can make security overslept and carry out the action without being discovered by anyone. The culprits aren't even afraid of CCTV. Meaning what? He's paid a fortune and someone behind the scenes has the power to protect him."

Abi looked at me. I know it must have been Vira. "Yes, that's right you think. Vira did!"

I guessed!

"Well, where do you know?" my many.

Abi then showed her the screen. "Just sent it."

I read the message Vira sent.

Hows it? Like my gift?

Vira was the culprit. As expected, he will not remain silent. Yesterday I foiled his evil plan, did Abi upset him too?

"What did Abi talk to Vira about yesterday?" my many. I didn't want to ask yesterday, but seeing Vira so angry that Abi had a hand made her even more angry.

"Yes... Talk about what we should talk about. Ask her gestational age, then pry various information about her. It turns out that's true what you said. Vira's a smart girl, it's not that easy to lie to me." Abi finished his meal and put it on the floor.

"Definitely Vira is very angry at both of us. I don't know what else Vira would do. This is what makes me better off avoiding it than challenging it."

Abi took me home after Maghrib prayer. Abi didn't let me work too tired. I followed and we went home.

I just got out of the car and I was worried when I saw a package at the door. "Bi! Package is!"

Abi got out of the car and was immediately alert. He saw a big package in front of the house. Abi reads the name and who the sender is.

"Huf.... From Mama. Let's get him inside!"

"Abi sure? If not from Mama how?" I unconsciously showed my fear. The package containing the rat carcass this morning has scared me and can not distinguish which is the real package and which is the terror.

Abi looked at me worriedly. "You're starting to get scared. This is what I'm afraid of. You took refuge at Mama's and Papa's house?" back Abi proposed me to evacuate.

"I don't want to, Bi. I'd better be here!"

Abi relented. "alright. I'll just open this package here, right? Let you believe it's from Mama."

Abi then opened the package in front of him. What Abi said is true. The package was sent by my mother. There's a lot of food in it.

Mama is attentive. Tau if his daughter-in-law is pregnant and sends various homemade food. There is rendang that is vacuumed to last, fruit chips that Mama made himself and various other snacks. Abi said Mama likes to make snacks to fill the time.

"Now you're calmer, right? Later I send a message with security in front to not accept guests for me without my direct approval. Just calm down!"
