Not an Ordinary Night Woman
CHAPTER 11 Run Again

Elisha slipped slowly, and ran back to Lavana's house.

"Bi, please tell Lavana if I go. I don't want him to get into trouble" Elisha said before leaving.

Enough Mirna that he has been involved with his problems, he does not want others to have the same fate. Especially until now he also does not know how his best friend is.

Elisha froze, when he saw Lavana in the yard with Kiya. He ran to the back of the house, lucky that there was a back door he could use to escape.

"Please sit down Kiya ma'am, I go back first" Lavana said.

"Ok, thank you," Kiya sat on the sofa.

Lavana immediately looked for the whereabouts of her maid.

"Bi please make my guests drink yes" he said.

"None Good,"

The aunt immediately made a drink for her master's guests. While Lavana who was looking for the existence of Elisha, did not find it everywhere.

"Bi, where's my friend? Didn't he go home?" ask Lavana.

He also told me about the incident. Auntie also told me the message that Elisha had conveyed earlier.

"What does that mean? Why did he leave the salon all of a sudden? What does Elisha's message mean?"

Lavana is confused by Elisha's attitude. But none of her things were missing, which made her think that maybe the woman was in trouble.

"Please drink and eat the cake, this is my home," Lavana went back to see her guests.

"thank you. Why not buy a bigger house, you got a lot of money?"

Kiya was astonished to see Lavana's house which she thought was so small.

"I'm alone, this house is more than enough" Lavana replied.

"Oh yeah, did his friend meet?" ask Kiya.

"Oh, he's gone home to his parents he said,"

Inexplicably Lavana felt no need to tell about Elisha. Kiya came to talk about business with him. He had no idea that Elisha was staying with him a while ago.

Their business is indeed a lot in common so Kiya is interested in establishing business with Lavana. They started talking about the business they were planning.

Again Elisha had to escape from a place that had made him comfortable.

"Where else am I going?" Elisha was walking in no direction. It stopped when it passed through a mosque.

"I'd better rest here, Kiya ma'am can't possibly look up to this place" said Elisha.

He was sitting leaning inside the mosque where only a few people were also seen resting and praying.

Elisha misunderstood. He thought his former boss had come to Lavana's house to look for him. He was there for business purposes. Kiya had absolutely no idea that the woman he was looking for had been nearby.

Because he felt tired, after praying he fell asleep in a sitting position on the terrace of the mosque. He just woke up when the sound of Adzan reverberated. After the prayer, he went to the stall to fill his hungry stomach.

☆☆☆

"Sir, why can't Elisha be contacted? Rojali said her cell phone number was always off,"

Sariyati's mother felt very worried, not usually her daughter behaved like this.

"We pray for you, ma'am, may our daughter be well" replied Mr. Darminto.

"We better try Siti's phone, sir. Who knows if he knows Elisha's news,"

Mr. Darminto agrees. He started contacting Ms. Siti with his new phone. Once connected, he gave the phone to his wife.

"Assalamualaikum, Ma'am,"

"Greetings, how are you?"

"Good thanks, what about Siti's own mom?"

"Thank God, I'm good, too,"

"Elisha? He hasn't been here in months, we're just talking on our phones. Last about 10 days ago," replied Ms. Siti.

"Oh so yeah. I don't feel good about him, afraid he's why-why,"

Ms. Sariyati was very worried. Especially after knowing if Siti also does not know exactly the situation of her daughter now.

"We pray that Elisha is okay, Mom. I'll call if there's news" said Siti.

"Yes, Mom. Thank you so much, sorry for the trouble,"

After a bit of pleasantry, the call ended.

"Bu Siti doesn't know about Elisha now either, sir. I'm so worried, let alone these two days Jasmine is so fussy. Maybe it's a sign,"

Both took a long breath. They didn't know who else to ask their daughter.

"Here you go, ma'am, don't think too much. We should continue to pray that our children are kept away from all kinds of dangers" said Mr. Darminto.

"Amen,"

☆☆☆

The afternoon changed. The mosque began to be quiet, pilgrims began to go home one by one. The time is 19:30. There are only a few fathers who are reading the Quran.

"Where should I sleep tonight? Should I get permission to sleep in the mosque for tonight?"

Elisha was confused. She is uncomfortable finding herself as the only woman in the mosque right now.

"Tomorrow I should be able to work anything. Now I better go to the stall to buy food, while waiting for them to finish teaching," he said.

Elisha carried a bag down the street. He stopped at a roadside stall.

"Mom, order one fried noodle yes," said Elisha.

"Wear no eggs, Neng?" ask the shop owner.

"No need Mom. Same hot tea one yes, ma'am,"

The owner of the middle-aged stall immediately made his order. Minutes later a glass of warm tea following a bowl of fried noodles is ready on the table.

"Alhamdulilah, full," said Elisha after all turned into his stomach.

"Where's the bell, how come you never see it? Not the guy here, is he?"

The woman greeted him kindly.

"Yes ma'am, I just came from town B. Looking for a job in the city" he answered.

"Oh, just deserve it. Where do you want to find a job, Neng? Here are many it's nightlife spots, same restaurants salons and spas,"

They seemed to be talking for a while. Once the feeling had started the night, Elisha immediately paid and said goodbye.

"Girlie!"

Just a few steps out of the stall, he heard his name on the call. How surprised he was when he turned his head, his former boss was already about 30 meters behind him.

Without much thought, he ran as fast as he could. He sees Kiya's mom getting into his car and continues to chase after him. To avoid it he immediately entered the shop-shopper area. He slipped into a place he had never seen before. The lights are dim, colorful and alternated with the sound of music that managed to deafen his ears.

"What is this place? How is this?"

Elisha saw some women in skimpy clothes passing by.

"Hey what are you doing here? Are you new?" greet someone.

Coinciding with someone greeting him, he saw his former boss also enter the place.

"L-yes, Ma'am," he replied nervously.

"Yes, get changed, quickly" said the woman.

"Change clothes?" Elisha felt confused, he felt his clothes were no problem.

"Kiki, come. Teach this woman, she's a new kid," she said, calling one of the scantily dressed women.
