The sky has turned dark. Emma stopped her car at the same place she dropped Aldrich off this morning.
Today the meeting was long. So come home late. Al, how is it? How come it's not here?
Emma dyed. The road in front of him that led to the dense village seemed deserted. Street lights also look no longer lit because of age eaten.
Duh, Al's okay, right?
Emma checked her phone, and there was indeed no notification of Aldrich's poor condition.
Ck! I swear after this I'll buy him a cell phone, so I can communicate. Bodo time he was a kid or something. I'm so worried about him now.
Emma had seen the streets before. There was no sign of anyone passing from there.
"I'll catch up with him." Emma got out of the car. Then walk alone through those dark deserted streets.
Although Emma is now terrified, there is no other option to pick up Aldrich. Previously he had always been with Wayne who could karate and not be afraid of demons, so even though passing through lonely streets, thugs or dedemits could not make Emma afraid. But now he felt scared again after a long time.
"There are soft prey." A man suddenly appears miraculously in front of Emma, making the woman surprised instead of playing.
"Who are you?"
"We're just ordinary people." It turned out that another horde of men appeared and swarmed Emma. In the middle of that dark atmosphere, everything happened very quickly.
"Have you been mbak?"
"No. I'm both." Emma shakes.
"Lho's? The mama's a machete, huh?"
"Stupid! That's a true hallucination!" The other thug caught his friend earlier.
"And if the rice is pureed."
"Whatever. Stupid to be nurtured, ntar berak loh."
"Shut up! His mother was not afraid. How about a bit of a hammer?" Said the thug who was bigger in stature and looked like his boss.
Wow, it turns out I want to be stabbed.
Emma straight up. He who can not defend himself and always gets a red score during sports lessons first, certainly will not be able to escape this situation.
"Speak hand over your money!" Eventually the thugs started threatening.
"Nobody move! My friend will be angry." Grunts Emma.
"You're alone mbak. Where did friends try it?"
"You can't see it. Next to me is now an invisible figure that I can tell you to teach. It's this way." Emma described someone beside her with her hands.
"Boss how is it? He's got the punches."
"Stupid! Where's there! He's a lie!"
"But what if there really is?"
"Ck!" Frustrated with his subordinates, the boss of the thugs approaches Emma alone by taking a penknife out of his pocket. "Don't talk to me. Quickly hand over all your stuff!"
How'this? The boss looks smarter. It's really okay to give up money for my life. But will they just let me go after giving me the money?
Emma started sweating cold sweat because she didn't know how to avoid this. Actually, he had an idea to pretend to be crazy. But it seems too late.
"What's this?" Aldrich emerged from behind the thugs. Its small body makes its appearance difficult to know.
Emma felt danger might befall Aldrich. "Al, run-"
"ALDRICH!!!" The thugs were shocked and screamed full of haru.
"Geez, where have you been? Popol tuh nyariin while ngesot." One of the thugs hugged Aldrich.
"Why bother?"
"Say he won't stop fidgeting before he finds you."
"Then, why isn't popol here?" Aldrich looked around.
"His ass hurts hahaha."
The rogue boss turned around and looked at Aldrich. "Aw! Little tumbler baby!" In the style of gemulai boss thugs were hugging Aldrich.
"Haha boss Tong still remembers his first meeting with you, when you gave him the strawberries."
What the fuck? They're Al's friends? Didn't most of the news say that thugs like them often tell young children to work forcibly?
"What are you doing?" Aldrich asked and accidentally met the eyes of Emma who is now starting to look from behind the big thug.
"Look at Tobeli, we found tender prey. He looks rich."
Aldrich smiled and walked over to Emma. "If this one can't. Because he... My mama." Aldrich hugged Emma's arm.
"What?! Mama?!" Everyone was shocked, including Emma.
Al, call me mama, kyaaa.
"What does this mean?"
"He's the one who's taking care of you now? Was she called mama?" Ask the boss thug, whose name was Tong earlier.
"It's true." Aldrich looked at Emma with a smile. "Let's go, mama, we're home."
"D-yes."
"It's that way. Ati-ati on mbak street. If you come back, bring Aldrich. We kangen. Especially the popol."
Emma was suddenly given warm words. He who was initially afraid to see them, now turned into pity.
"Oh yes this." Emma took out some money from the bag. "This is for you guys." Emma handed the money to the thugs.
"Eh?! Seriously this is mbak?" Asked one of the non-believing thugs to be able to hold onto money without making an eye.
Emma nodded. "Thank you, too, for being Al's friend."
"No problem, ma'am."
Tong as the boss thug immediately stood out among the others. "Everyone salutes Mama Tobeli. Honor grak!"
"Thank you." All the thugs bowed in front of Emma Beraan.
Aldrich pulls Emma to go. And the woman waved her hand happily at the thugs who did the same.
"Bak was so good." Said one of the thugs followed by a nod of his friend's head.
"Suitable for Aldrich. He also likes to help us make brawl strategies, and tell you a good place to be."
"Boss Tong is like mind too, right? The boss? Boss?" The thugs were astonished to see the boss who was just silent while staring at a narrow alley near them.
"Why boss?"
"As if someone is watching us."
"So what the hell boss, don't nakutin ah."
"Yuk report to RT sir if the street light turns off again. Serem here if there's a fixation."
"The thugs are afraid of apparitions."
Eventually the gang of thugs left. And... Someone who was hiding in the narrow alley just came out from behind his hiding place. His all-black clothes made him easily fuse with the darkness. He smiled when he saw the shots from the camera in his hand.
"Last your career, Emma Rosaline. How much would this photo cost if I sent it to your business competitors?"
◌
On the way home. Aldrich and Emma were silent. Emma actually wanted to start the conversation as usual, but Aldrich looked sad and dreamy. It seemed like the smile he showed in front of the thugs earlier was fake.
"Al, I told Ron to make some rib soup for you."
"Ah yes, thank you brother." Aldrich replied while looking out the window.
He called me brother again.
"Then"
"Actually, I'm very tired. Can I just go to sleep when I get home? I promise I'll have soup tomorrow." Aldrich interrupted Emma. But he rarely does that.
"Okay, a lot of rest."
Aldrich silently clenched his hands in annoyance. I'll spend the whole night if I have to. To be sure, I had to read all the stuff in that drawer, and figure out the truth.
