The Grim Reapers
Chapter 6's

“Mas, we need to talk” who was spoken to nodded slowly, starting to follow the steps of his wife who had already walked first.

They walked to the hospital park. Quiet, because this afternoon is quite blistering. People are lazy to roam and let their skin get stung by the heat of the sun. The wife led her husband to one of the benches under the tree, spared the heat of the sun.

They don't talk right away, just sit and shut up.

“since when...he's back?” Ela—sang wife asked breaking the silence. His hands were pinching the ends of the clothes he was wearing.

“I don't know for sure. But it's not just Nina coming back. He also returned”

The wife's body stiffened. His memory of the tragic events of eight years ago is back open. It whirled in his mind, like an old movie re-released.

“Mas..What if he does it again? I'm afraid.” his tone swallowed. Its bad. Really bad.

“We will try to help Desta. Also, she's our only daughter.”

Hand Hendrik—ayah Desta moved, perched on the narrow boat of the wife. To slow down, to calm his wife's heartbreak. Although he was also worried, but he should be able to stand up straight. Minutes later only in silence. They are busy with their own thoughts, thinking about all the possibilities and worst-case scenarios that can come at any time.

“Honestly, I'm getting tired. If Christ came again, it would be bad for Desta. How kalo.... Desta can't afford her existence?”

“Sstt don't do that. We help Desta as much as we can.” Bringing his wife in his arms, once calmed her down with encouraging words. Hoping that his wife's optimism will return to what it used to be.

“We doain too huh? May Desta recover quickly” Ela nods. Thin smile decorated on his face that remains beautiful even though he was in his forty years. The two of them then left. Her husband was inviting or rather forcing Ela to fill the stomach. Yeah, it looks like he does need a little rice for his overstressed body.

The door to the hospital room was opened slowly. Two men and women entered the room with white shades slowly after learning that the occupants of the room were asleep. The two of them walked as quietly as possible, without any sounds and movements that might cause a commotion.

“Le, I laper nihh” said the man to his friend and replied with an eye shot.

The other chose indifferently, his hand pulling out a chair that was closest to the reach of his hand. He sat there quietly. His gaze led to Desta who was still fast asleep.

“Leleee... I came out a stretch huh? Not kasian lo ama worms in my stomach? Udah on gegulingan ask for intake!!”

The one Alea picked up snorted in annoyance. He stared at the fat-deficient male friend.

“Sit or I delete all videos ikeh-ikeh lo” Threat actually managed to make it quiet. Grumbling softly, he then pulled out a chair for her to sit on. But indeed the goddess of bad luck was happy to tease him, the man accidentally nudged a glass in the nightstand and—

Prong

The glass broke on the floor, making Alea instantly glare at him.

“Rizall can be careful not sigh?!! Here we are again looking at the sick woy!” Alea exclaimed in annoyance. However, his voice he held back so as not to disturb the person he was looking at. In his stead, he pinched the hands of his useless friend with sadism. But, the effort seems to be home. Because in fact, Desta had woken up when the glass was broken by Rizal.

“Do not make a fuss.” The quiet voice of Desta instantly stopped the torture event that Alea had been doing.

“E-eh? You wake up, huh? Sorry sorry. Ih because of you anyway!!” Alea rebuked Rizal with her hands. Not forgetting a tabokan dear he lay on his arm.

“it.. anu.. I ask maap huh? Hehe. My suerr accidentally earlier” Desta just smiled thinly and nodded.

“Eh supardi, so too. Kan lo the mecahin” Alea said with a hunk. Also a toyoran that he gave to Rizal. Alea and the violence in friendship are two things that are difficult to separate.

“Om same aunt where? Said it was here”

Desta gnashed his forehead in wonder. “So dad is already here, but if mommy hasn't been like”

“Loh, the bag is already here” Alea pointed to a bag in the corner of the nightstand. Desta was astonished again. There was no bag there. He didn't even remember what he did before he went to bed.

“Maybe dateng pas lo again sleep kali” said Rizal origin.

Desta nodded slowly. Justifying Rizal. “Maybe”

“Eh Lea, lo... know who I'm here from? I don't feel good about elo deh.?” the question from Desta made Alea rubbed her nape slowly. “From Brother Dean, hehe”

Desta nodded his head then fell silent afterwards. Alea and Rizal were busy fighting over seats. Yes, not the actual chair is contested, but the position of the chair. Desta's hospital room is on the fourth floor of the hospital, and Rizal's chair is near the window. Though he was a little afraid of height while the distance from the window to the ground could be said to be high. Ends with Rizal, who is fighting Alea, to change positions.

Desta just looked flat at the two. The room was actually quite spacious, as it was a VIP room. But why are two people of different gender still fighting over a sitting position? Desta really did not understand the path of his second thought.

“Lea, just give it up. Move here, it is still empty” Tegur Deata on both. The guard also saw the two of them continue to scramble like that for minutes.

Alea scowled dislikefully, but still stepped up to move to the right side of Desta which was still empty. While Rizal was happy. Feeling victorious from Alea who used to torment him. The blonde sat down and started to open her phone.

Alea snorted for the umpteenth time. He chooses to ignore Rizal and starts talking to Desta.

Drttt drttt drttt

“lah the gangu aja” Rizal grumbled before finally lifting the phone.

Rizal scrunched his forehead as he started talking to the person who called him. Occasionally a rough swearing in Javanese he lay. But the look on his face implied a concern for the interlocutor.

“Lo wait there. Iyeeee I'm here sekarangg. Take care of you first!! In an ordinary place. Not bakalll, I've been there first”

Rizal hastily ran towards the exit, with his cell phone still stuck between his shoulders and ears. Totally forgot to say goodbye.

Blamm

The door was closed violently. Desta stared flat at the door while Alea slapped her own forehead.

“hehe maapin ya. It's him. His son is rada gil—"

Krieett

Rizal's head was sticking out from outside the door. “Eh, I forgot the parting. First!!”

Leaving Desta with her slow hardness and Alea who shook her head. Amazed at being able to make friends with abstract creatures like Rizal.
