Stepmom Cold Bed
Night cap

“Kak Maureeeennnn!!!!” a scream was heard clearly from inside the house. It was Dita's voice that called out to Maureen with fear.

“Yes, I'm here,” timpal Maureen quickly.

“Kak, here. I'm afraid,” Dita whines spoiled. The girl was afraid of the dark.

“Iyaa, wait I'll be there.” Maureen immediately turned on the flashlight on her phone. Berdo’a only flashlight can last a long time because the phone battery is only twenty-two percent left.

Walking into the pitch-black house, Maureen's steps were so cautious. It shines on every point it will touch. True said the head of the project that the electricity here is not stable so that it can die at any time. It looks like this will be the next Maureen and Anggoro corp peer.

“Kak,” Dita's voice sounded weak when she saw Maureen arrive before her. The girl was already shaking in cold sweat, she sat in one corner of the bed while hugging her two folded legs.

“Quiet, I'm here.” Maureen immediately approached Dita and hugged the pale-faced girl.

“I'm afraid of dark brother,” his voice sounds stammering in Maureen's ears.

“I have a flashlight, relax. Although the light is off but we are in a safe place Ta, so be calm.” Maureen rubbed Dita's back to calm her down. Luckily he was used to the whining of his sisters in the orphanage so that he could provide enough calm for Dita.

“Iya brother. Brother Maureen don't go anywhere. I don't want to be alone.”

“Iyaa, where am I going? Yes, it must be here. We rest, we've been tired all day. Okay?” persuade Maureen.

Dita gave a small nod and released her embrace from Maureen. Thanks to the flashlight on the phone he could see Maureen's face before him.

“Now we are together. We sleep so that tomorrow morning our bodies are fresh.” Maureen helps Dita lie down and she catches up. Raise the blanket over his body and try to calm the fear of each.

“Sister, I can't sleep.” Dita held Maureen's hand tightly. The taste is too big. Not to mention there are sounds that are heard from outside the house and make the fur crouch.

“Em, if you're afraid, how about we tell stories?” tawang Maureen is trying to distract Dita.

“What's the story kak?”

“What aja, it's up to you. For example, how do you feel while working in Anggoro corp? What do you like and dislike about working at Anggoro corp?” Maureen gives an example. He turned his head to Dita who turned his body to face Maureen.

“I've worked more than two years at Anggoro.” Dita immediately replied it seemed like she indeed needed a diversion for her fear.

“Ehem, then?” Maureen calmly listened.

“Em, I love working at Anggoro corp. Although the work is a lot of heavy, but I feel more pinter because I was taught many things. Not to mention his huge salary. The first year of work, I was able to pay depe house, costin two adekku college, take a walk to the universal studio. Anyway a lot.”

“I feel at home working in Anggoro corp because I feel growing. That brother also not?” Back to asking.

Maureen smiled slightly at Dita's chattering. He nodded in agreement that Dita's words were true.

Unknowingly, Dita's speech brought her memory back to the reason why she used to want to work in this place. There was something personal that made him want to destroy this company from within. Until a few hours ago, that thought still surfaced in Maureen's mind as one of her priorities. But for some reason, Dita's speech even made him rethink his plan.

How many employees feel about Dita? It can't be one person, right? If Anggoro corp is destroyed, will not many people be unfortunate because they lost their jobs?

That thought was currently filling Maureen's mind.

“Kak Maureen how to get? Kept yaa, same as I said? This is my honest review, about Anggoo corp. Even if I have to do all the work but the reverse is very worth.” Dita's voice is back.

“I'm still listening.” Maureen looked back at Dita who was looking at her from the side.

“Yes, Maureen's affection for this company must be greater than me. Maureen's contribution to the Anggoro corp is enormous. I can see the hard work of Maureen in this company. I salute all the achievements of Maureen at this young age. I think, I understand why the old master trusted and loved big brother so much. I want to learn a lot from my brother. Thank you for being a great woman like sister.”

If Dita knew what purpose Maureen had shown in this company, would this girl still think the same?

The panic was not only owned by Dita but also belonged to young master Anggoro. With a limp, Byan walked quickly from one corner of the room to the other. Gathering whatever items he could bring to catch up with Maureen.

An old man also approached him and looked at Byan questioningly at his young master's decision just a moment ago.

“Master, are you sure you'll catch up with the young mistress? It's already night sir.” Riswan repeated the words of the command that Byan had just sent over the phone.

Yes, just a moment ago, this young man contacted him and asked to prepare a lot for his departure to the project location. At night like this when Riswan almost dreamed about beautiful girls in his imaginary realm.

“I have to leave now. I lost track of Maureen. The call was suddenly cut off and is now out of contact. What I saw last it was all dark then Maureen suddenly disappeared.”

“What if something bad happens to her? She was a woman and was on a remote island inhabited only by a few people. What if there's a bad guy or a wild beast who-,”

Byan could not continue his sentence.

“Akh shit! I really have to get there,” the grunt with a panicked face.

“Ta-but sir, it's night. There are no scheduled flights to get there. In one day, there are only two flight schedules namely morning at half-seven and eleven at noon.” Riswan tried to explain.

“What did you say? You mean I have to wait? How about we get late?!” exclaimed Byan, looking at Riswan in disbelief. His sharp eyes deluded furiously, no longer able to hide his anxiety.

“See, you even still pack pajamas and nightcap.” Byan rubbed his face rough when he saw the appearance of the old man who was still wearing polycadot-patterned pajamas complete with his matching colored sleep cap.

“Sa-I'm sorry sir. I was in a hurry. But I mean with my words if there is no flight at night to travel there,” said Riswan regretted. He only realized that his appearance was this chaotic.

Byan was no longer speechless, his body felt weak. He sat on the edge of the bed, covering his face with both hands while thinking about what he should do later. His eyes were already red and teary imagining that something bad might happen to Maureen.

Akh no, the shadow of Maureen's leg slipped has made Byan ketar-ketir, especially if it is worse than that. He should have been stronger when he banned Maureen from going to the project site.

“Master, I will book the first flight ticket. I will also try to contact the head of the project there. I beg you to remain calm, because the condition of the master is also sick. My hope is the same as the master, hope the young mistress is fine there,” said Riswan trying to calm the desperate Byan.

Just this time Riswan saw Byan was very bad. He was a little confused because weren't they hostile, but why could this young man care so much about his stepmother?

Is there anything else his young master has hidden?

“Keep why are you still here?!” byan snapped when he saw Riswan who was still sculpting in his place.

“I-iya sir. I'll be ready soon.” Riswan was shocked. It seemed that he could not let Byan see him holding his hands. His young master was very sensitive.

Riswan immediately went to his room, he had to change his pajamas patterned polkadot this. Meanwhile, Byan was still sitting in his place. It's only half an hour in the morning. There are still a few more hours of time that will torment his thoughts and feelings. Will it last for the next five hours?

“Jeez Maureen, you should be fine,” muttered Byan anxiously.
