pancason
Part 142 The Gripping Night

Sunlight emerged from the eastern horizon. The forest suddenly crowded due to the discovery of the corpse last night. Mr. Grace who was rumored to have disappeared three days ago was finally found. In a terrible state of death. Since the night of Mr. Rahmat's disappearance, his wife had indeed reported this to the village chief. Residents seemed not surprised at the discovery of the corpse of Mr. Grace. They looked ordinary, only still showing expressions of disdain and horror when they saw the torn body.

Police came by ambulance to retrieve the body and along the scene of the crime scene. Police lines crossed around the discovery of the body. Vin was also asked for information about the first witness who saw the body. Also Gio and Abhimanyu. This is not the first discovery in a month. This is the third body that has the same fate. The two bodies were tourists who had stayed at home. A couple who were on their honeymoon were found dead with the same condition as Mr. Rahmat. The temporary guess that the police could confirm was a savage beast attack. And now the patrols are again deployed to search for the beast.

Three young residents of a wooden house near TKP, are now returning to their activities. Go back to the cafe that they have been living in for a long time. A lot of homework that Abi and Gio have to complete about the cafe pancasona. During their time away, the cafe is taken care of by Maya, as an Abhimanyu confidant. He did not work alone, and recruited several other employees who served in the field. Maya's part keeps the cashier according to Abi's orders. While the other 3 employees were all new people. This cafe often experiences the unloading of employees. Now there's just Maya, Joe, Rain, and Marcel. The three men were close friends of Maya's in high school. Maya hired them because they deserve and need this job.

"Where, May? A cafe? Aman?" abi asked as soon as he entered this place. A second home for him that he hadn't visited in a long time. Gio was still in the front yard, arranging some furniture and chairs that were not exactly arranged. He is indeed quite thorough and 'bawel' for this one business. Because since the beginning of the renovation, Gio was the most involved in the work. Until putting things and displays, Gio did it. Abhimanyu wasn't too worried about that. Because he knows Gio has a good taste and the field of building architecture.

"Bang Abi?!" maya screams are quite surprised by the arrival of the cafe owner. He then moved to embrace Abhimanyu who always put the same reaction, flat and cold. "Finally home too!" maya said, letting go of her embrace and then turned to Vin and Gio who were still outside.

"Om Adi didn't come?" tanyakanya. In an instant Abi's countenance changed. Eyes glazed. "Uncle Adi .. died, May. He did not survive yesterday" Abi said with a wound in his heart, his throat was choked and tried to sound normal when telling the chronology of the incident.

Maya immediately sat down in the cashier's chair, but her gaze was empty. He is also saddened by Adi's sudden departure and in a sad way. For him, Adi is also one of the families here. Although Adi and Abhimanyu seem similar in attitude, but Maya knows behind their cold and indifferent attitude, the two men also have a soft and sincere heart. Adi also often helped Maya during this time. When Maya was in school, Adi often drove her home or picked her up while at school. It's not a deliberate thing, it's just a coincidence Adi was on the road when Maya came home or left for school, but at least not everyone will be willing to give a ride to a very chatty and annoying snot girl like Maya. And only those two men are willing to take their time for something as trivial as this.

"It has. Don't get sad. Just pray, may Uncle Adi be in a beautiful place there. Maybe God loves him more. Uncle Adi has helped us quite a lot, and now it's time for him to be happy there, without any burden, without any conditions," Abhimanyu said, patting Maya on the shoulder, then looking around. "Hey, you don't want to get to know a new employee?" abi asked, trying to divert Maya's sadness. Maya then swept her tears, and took a deep breath.

"Start, Bang." He went and called 3 men who worked with him here for a month. Introduce them to the CEO of the cafe, and introduce Abi to his own employees.

"I'm sorry you guys just met me now. A while ago I had a lot of business. But now, I'm back and .. let's work together for this cafe!" abi said ending the brief introductory session.

Cafe Pancasona is back. People always come back and forth, as if never empty of visitors, making this cafe progress rapidly than before. Abi had to grow this business by clearing land again. The indoor room will feel less if the situation is like now, therefore he will buy land that is beside the cafe. He plans to build a bigger cafe. No need to open branches elsewhere, because the location he has now is very strategic.

"May, whose land is the owner next to?" ask Abi when the state of the cafe is down. Maya looks up because she is currently busy separating the sales notes. "This land?" tanyanya while pointing to the right side of the cafe.

"Yes. I think you want to spread the cafe again. The state of the cafe is now, very crowded. So narrow-minded. Visitors will be uncomfortable for a long time."

"That's great, Bang. If it's not wrong it's Mr. Yudistira."

"Where is he?"

"Huh, my goodness! Time doesn't know? That's takur master of our village. The land is everywhere!" maya was half upset. Because of the indifference of an Abhimanyu, he did not even know all the villagers. Abi was born and raised in this village.

Abhimanyu just ooh ria and then walk to the back. Making Maya take a deep breath while saying, "Patience, May. It's a test."

"May, who moved the statue of Semar in front to the side? That makes the hawaii not okay you know, no? Move!" Suddenly Gio enters while grumbling which makes Maya almost lost her patience. "Geez, what about Om Gio?! It's the beginning of Om Gio who has been moved to the side!"

"What time?" ask the confused Gio himself.

"My Lord gave me patience amid the senile and annoying men in this place" Maya said as she turned her palms up as if she were praying. Sarkas, but Gio instead laughed while pinching the two cheeks of the girl. The senile old man returned to the front, the cafe courtyard and returned to his previous busyness. Grow plants.

Cafe doors began to be installed boards that read "Close". Marking this place will be closed soon. Visitors began to finish their meals and one by one went home. Before returning home there is always a daily briefing to discuss all things related to sales and the joy experienced throughout the day. Some complaints will be disclosed by each employee and if it can be resolved together then the best solution will be sought. So that they are comfortable and not heavy working in this cafe. For example, when Rain who has trouble cleaning the dirty table left by visitors, then the next day Joe will also be in charge of helping Rain. Or complaints over visitors who always behave unpleasant in Marcel's cuisine, then Maya will replace Marcel in preparing the order of the person. They fill and complement each other in order to continue to maintain the Pancasona cafe.

"You know the case of the discovery of Rahmat's body?" tanya Vin started the conversation after the briefing was over.

"Oh, yes, Bang. Horrified! Just when I left, I took a look. Gosh darn. No appetite is exhausted," said Joe recalling the incident this morning.

"Aren't you guys hearing that weird noise, Bang? Was it near Bang Abi's house?" tanya Rain was curious. Naturally the question was thrown from his mouth, because the location of the discovery of the corpse was very close to the house of Abhimanyu.

"God! It may have been a while, said Mr. Kades, his body had been there for a long time, "attended Maya.

"Wait on! How much do you know about this case? He said Mr Grace wasn't the first victim?" ask Abhimanyu. He did want to hear more detail from others' views on the matter.

"Yes, Bang. When the first victim was, I met them a few hours before they were found dead." Marcel spoke up, making them curious.

"What time did you meet him, Cel?" asked Gio who was sitting by the window while lighting a cigarette.

"Around the gini work hours, Om. If I go home on foot, well papasan the same them. I heard their conversation at the time. She said she felt a noise behind the house. He was terrified, and they were wrong on the way to Mr. Kades' house to report."

"How noisy is it? You know?"

"Continue?"

"Yes, I kept going home. Tomorrow they are found dead. The serem!" marcel said while shuddering in horror.

"What do you think killed them until the body was like that?" ask Abhimanyu seriously.

"Kok Bang Abi nanyanya, what? Not who?" Maya begins to realize that something is wrong in her village, seeing Abhimanyu's reaction.

"Well, because if humans wouldn't be able to do such a deed, May," Abi replied casually.

"Flighting from tomorrow the cafe closes faster, Bi. Pity them if they come home late, we don't know what's going on in our village, right?" gio gave me advice.

"Yes, Uncle. That's what Abi was thinking."

Eventually they went home to each other. Because of the discovery of the body of Mr. Rahmat, the village streets felt more silent than usual. People are afraid to travel at night. They choose to stay indoors if there is no urgent interest.

"Maya let Abang anter go home. Same uncle Vin can go home with Marcel, right? You can go in the same direction" Abi said, giving you the safest option. Because Joe and Rain came home on a bike. Their homes are next to each other, so at least they don't go home alone.

Abi went in the opposite direction to Gio and Vin. They are indeed responsible for the safety of cafe employees, in particular. Do not let one of them fate the same as Mr. Grace.

Abi and Maya begin to walk casually through the paved streets that still look new. Paving the road was done 3 weeks ago because the road in this village has been a lot of holes. They walked while having small talk. Abi asked a lot about the state of the cafe when he left. Maya who does have a bustling and supple personality, easily tells all the things that happened in the village since Abi left.

"So Bang Abi wants to buy that land? The land of Mr Yudistira?"

"Yes. Maybe tomorrow I'll go to his house. Ask further. We need to expand the cafe, right, May?"

"Yes, anyway. Especially now that the cafe is getting crowded."

"Shhh!" hiss Abi to Maya who was about to continue his words earlier. "You hear that?"

The sound of the dog's howl was heard from a distance, making Maya close her body to Abhimanyu. It was not the dog's howling that was the reason Abi stopped. But there was noise around them. Abi heard the sound of people running fast. And faintly there was a distinctive growling sound. But unfortunately Maya did not hear that. Maya instead focused on the sound of the howling of dogs that were far from them.

Actually, the sound of dog howling is something that is often heard in this area, just considering there was a recent discovery of corpses, which is not unusual, making everyone afraid of things that actually existed before this incident existed.

"Aragh!" the sound of someone's screams rang out from where Abi and Maya were standing. They looked at each other and thought the same thing. Who and what is there.

Someone is now seen running towards them, making Abi tell Maya to hide behind her body, while Abi prepares with her horses. Slowly the approaching figure became clearer, and apparently it was Lulu, a neighbor next to Maya's house. Maya who from the beginning hid just peeked from behind the burly man's back, then shocked and came out of his hiding place. "Lulu?!" his screams were accompanied by a questioning tone. Lulu who saw the two of them looked relieved and sped up her run. Abi and Maya come closer so that the girl's steps can be quickly exceeded.

"Why, Lu?" ask Maya so close to the girl. He caught the body of Lulu who looks very weak due to running. I don't know when Lulu ran and how far she ran. And the most important question is what to avoid.

"That! It!" said Lulu pointing behind him. Maya and Abi look in the direction Lulu points to, but find nothing either.

"That's what? The clear talk!" cecar Maya with impatience.

"May ...." Abi told Maya to be slower in asking that question. Because Lulu's face was very pale and like a fright.

"Lu ... Why did you run?" ask Maya, this time it's softer.

"Someone followed me, May. Really serem. I'm scared!" whinek Lulu was crying.

"Sung? How's serem? You see the shape?"

"See. He emerged from the forest. Keep chasing me. It's dark but I can clearly see him!"

"Animals?" ask Abi. Lulu turned her head with an astonished look, "Cock animal? Man, Bang!"

"What's? Human?"
