THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE
XXXV Parts

Via just turned off his laptop. While Ratna was already laying down in her room. The night grew quiet.

Before going to bed, Via intends to check the message on his phone. He also unlocked the screen. There are 2 messages from Azka and Farah. Then there is 1 more from the foreign number. After replying to Azka and Farah's message, he opened the message from a number that had not been saved.

[There's a mukena that's modeled on this video, isn't it?]

Via tapping the video sent. However, there is not a picture of the face, it is a terrible impression.

"Yeah!" pekik Via freaked out.

Via's voice made the other hostess residents surprised. They ran to Via's room.

"What's up, Vi?" rani asked while knocking on the door of Via's room.

"Try to open it, it may not be locked" Ratna ordered.

Rani pulls the door and it turns out that it is not locked. They also entered Via's room. The girl was silent on the bed with a pale face.

"What's up, Vi?" it was Ratna's turn to ask.

Via is still tight-lipped. Cold sweat began to pour. Not getting an answer, Ratna finally followed the direction of Via's gaze. Cell phones. Yes, the phone that was still open continued to be stared at Via with a frightened look.

Ratna took Via's phone. As soon as he saw the video on his mobile phone, Ratna jumped in shock.

"Astaghfirullah azim thing," he exclaimed.

"What's up, Rat?" ask Rani to panic.

Ratna regulated her wheezing breath. After he calmed down, he turned off Via's phone.

"Someone sent a video of animal torture to Via. The boy really loves animals. Hence, he could not bear to look at it like that. I used to see the slaughter of sacrificial animals in fear. He could not sleep tonight."

Rani nodded in understanding. He approached Via and sat down beside him.

"Udah, Vi, calm yourself. Rat, please get me a drink for Via!" rani's orders.

Ratna immediately grabbed a glass of water nearby. Via is used to prepare drinking water before going to bed.

"Where, Vi? It calms?" ask Rani.

Via nodded. His breathing began to be regular.

"I will sleep here with you" said Ratna.

"Thank you, Rat. I am still afraid," said Via.

"Yes already, you accompany Via. I went back to my room" said Rani.

Via looked at Rani then said, "Thank you, Ran."

Rani came out of Via's room. Ratna then laid Via down gently.

"Sleep. I'll take care of you."

"You sleep next to me" said Via.

"Yes, after you go to sleep."

Ratna pulled out a blanket to cover Via's body. He turned off the room lights.

"Aaah..," cried Via restrained.

"Why?" ask Ratna to panic.

"I'm scared, Rat. Don't turn off the lights!"

Ratna turned the lights back on. He tried to close his eyes again.

"Usually he can't sleep when the lights are on. Does this terror make Via afraid of the dark?" thought Ratna.

After seeing Via's breathing regular, Ratna to her room briefly picked up her phone. He started typing messages.

[Assynoltomodel. Sorry, had to interrupt nights like this. The terror has not stopped.]

He soon received a reply.

[Waalaikum. It's okay, I haven't slept. Do you get a package clock?]

Ratna re-typed the message.

[Not a package, but a video. It was sadistic animal torture. Via shock.]

[Now what are the conditions of Via? Do I need to go there?]

[It was quiet, now it was sleeping.]

[Yes, I'll be there tomorrow. You will also go to sleep immediately.]

[Yes, Mom. Assalamualaikum]

[Capitaly]

When the hot sun had begun to fade, Azka parked his motorbike in the courtyard of the Via boarding house. Just as he opened the helmet, Ratna was already out welcoming.

"Assalamualaik."

"Vaalaikumsalam. From college, Mas?"

"Yes. Here, I bring you a beefy chicken rice" Azka said, handing Ratna a plastic bag.

"Alhamdulillah. Thanks, Mas."

"Where's the virus?"

"In room. After praying dhuhur he wiridan continue."

"Is he still scared?"

"No. But he looks depressed. Hence, he was wiridan long after every prayer."

"Alhamdulillah. At least he chose the right path, leaning his burden on God."

"That's Via. If there is a problem, the prayer becomes longer" Ratna complained.

Azka smiled faintly. Then he took the phone out of his pants pocket.

[Via seems to be able to overcome her fears.]

After sending a message, Azka put her phone back in her pocket. He no longer noticed the chatt reply he sent.

"Try me, please Tengokin Via is done yet. Do not fall asleep" Azka ordered Ratna.

Just as Ratna was about to enter Via's room, the door of the room was opened from inside.

"Mas Azka's coming, huh?" ask Via.

"Kok know?" ask Ratna back.

"The sound of horror" replied Via briefly as he walked to the terrace.

"Have you finished praying, Vi?" ask Azka.

"Of course! Masa Via praying while walking? Cancel dong!" sahut Via's.

Azka scratched her non-itchy head.

"Are you okay, Vi?" ask Azka worried.

"Yes, why? How is Mad Azka worried?" Via asked back.

"Ratna told me you got a horrible video post."

Via. He took a long breath.

"Yes, Mas. Actually Via was out of thought, what was their purpose in terrorizing Via. Who are they?"

"Me and Mas Farhan are investigating. Unfortunately, there are no definitive clues yet. We have to be patient."

"Yes, Mas. But honestly, actually, Via was worried."

Azka stared fixedly at Via. His worries returned.

"What are you worried about?" ask Azka.

"Those people will get more desperate. Doesn't rule out the possibility that they'll commit terror in any other way."

"I don't think the terror will stop" Azka murmured.

"Wouldn't you just go to the police, Mas?" ratna's proposal.

"It's not that I don't care about Via's safety, but there are things that need to be revealed. Mas Farhan and I are investigating the matter. If it involves the police, maybe the terror problem is solved. But, other problems will be more difficult to uncover," Azka refused.

"What do you mean Azka?" ask Via who doesn't understand.

"I can't explain because the data that we can is still too early to be used as a basis for concluding this problem. I didn't tell the others either. Emm. I mean father and mother. Only thing I can tell you is that Mas Farhan and I suspect there's a connection to business."

"Business? I'm just a small merchant," said Via.

"Not you, but your late father. Ah, nevermind. I can't tell you much. Later even wrong because it is still not accurate."

Via shrugs shoulders. He really could not understand what Azka meant.
