Pesan itu dibaca Nila dengan hati berdebar, dari kontak yang dinamai Mala. Padahal sebenarnya dia laki-laki yang kini tengah berkumpul bersama suaminya dan beberapa kawan lain di ruang tengah. Mereka tengah asik berbincang sambil mengopi dan merokok. [Hanya sebentar, Nila. Aku sangat membutuhkanmu.] Nila hanya membacanya lagi dan mematung menatap layar ponsel. Diliriknya ruangan depan yang tampak riuh suara obrolan. Hanya suaranya yang tidak terdengar. "Mada!" Seseorang melemparinya cangkang kacang hingga lelaki yang sibuk dengan ponselnya itu sedikit tersentak dan mendongak. "Kenapa lo? Diem aja dari tadi." "Gak apa-apa." "Lo pasti nunggu kopi yang belum jadi kan, Mad? Sebentar." Ibra, suami Nila bangkit dari sofa sembari memasukkan ponselnya ke saku levis. Menuju dapur. "Nila! Cepat bikin kopi untuk Mada. Lelet amat!" "Busett si Ibra, galak bener sama istrinya. Gak liat-liat ada kita, main bentak aja." "Udah biasa dia, kayak baru denger aja. Tiap kita ke sini juga suka begitu.""Istri cantik, penurut begitu masih digalakin. Ibra ... Ibra ...." Tiga orang saling menimpali, tak terkecuali Mada. Mendengar suara Ibra yang kencang dan keras terhadap Nila, dia menahan diri untuk tidak terbawa emosi. Nila buru-buru memasukkan ponsel dalam saku baju saat Ibra mendekat. Dari tadi dia terus menggenggam benda itu. "Bukannya buatkan kopi malah main hape. Aku bilang cepat buat satu lagi untuk Mada." "Kopinya habis, Mas." Nila menjawab pelan sembari menunduk. "Ya beli. Kamu pergi ke warung terdekat bukan malah diam." "Uangnya?" Nila menadahkan tangan meminta. "Aku udah kasih kamu jatah, Nila.""Uang dari Mas udah abis." "Jangan boros-boros mangkannya. Harus pandai mengatur, dong." "Mas kasih jatah harian tiga puluh ribu. Mas pikir itu banyak? Tadi siang aku beli gas, beras, sayur, token listrik. Gak cukup uang dari Mas. Sisanya hutang di warung." "Mangkannya kamu kerja biar bisa bantu suami. Jangan cuma bisanya ngabisin uang suami aja." Nila ingin mendebat tapi lelaki itu keburu pergi. "Tunggu. Aku beli kopinya dulu!" Mulutnya yang sudah membuka untuk bicara terkatup lagi rapat. Ibra hendak ke warung. Ditinggalkan dulu teman-temannya. Mada menatap kepergiannya. Setelah punggung lelaki itu keluar melewati pintu dia beranjak bangun. "Gue ke kamar mandi dulu," pamitnya. Nila terkejut melihatnya datang. Tanpa berkata-kata Mada menarik tangannya, membawa masuk dalam kamar mandi di sudut ruangan dan mengunci pintu. "Kenapa pesanku tidak dibalas?" cecarnya."Mas Mada di sini banyak orang," jawab Nila takut-takut dan cemas. "Aku hanya minta waktu sebentar." "Jangan, Mas." Nila menghalau tangannya yang hendak menurunkan lengan baju. "Sebentar, Nila. Aku tidak bisa menahannya lagi. Sudah lama kamu tidak denganku. Aku menyusul ke sini karna kamu." Mada berhasil menurunkan semua lengan bajunya. Menatap terkesima pemandangan yang ada. "Aku tidak akan lama," bisiknya. Lalu menyerang dengan kecupan-kecupan. Dia butuh pelampiasan segera..Mada menjauh. Membasuh bekasnya dan membenarkan bawahan. Nila bersandar pada dinding, merapikan pakaian dengan gerakkan lamban. "Terimakasih." Mada menyentuh kedua pipinya menatap lembut. "Maaf kalau kamu tidak puas. Nanti aku akan membuat kamu senang dan bukan di sini." Dia lalu mengeluarkan dompet. Memberi lembaran uang merah. "Ambil." Mengepalkanya pada tangan Nila. "Kamu butuh kan? Tadi Ibra bahkan memarahimu." Lelaki itu berbalik. Membuka pengunci pintu, tidak bisa berlama-lama lagi di dalam dengannya. "Aku keluar dulu." Menghadap Nila kembali, menyempatkan mengecup bibirnya sekali lagi lalu pergi. Di luar tidak ada siapa-siapa. Mada menghela napas dan kembali ke ruang depan. Nila terdiam. Matanya berembun dan bibir bergetar menatap uang di tangan. Setiap kali Mada dengannya selalu memberi. Dia tahu ini salah. Menjalin hubungan diam-diam di belakang Ibra.Dia seperti itu hanya terhadap Mada saja. Uang darinya dipakai untuk menambal bekal yang kurang dan sebagian disimpan. Dia akan dimarahi jika meminta pada Ibra seperti tadi."Nila?" Terdengar suara Ibra memanggil. Dia buru-buru memasukkan uang dalam saku dress. Lalu membuka pintu kamar mandi. "Ya, Mas." Ada perasaan takut terhadapnya, terlebih belum lama sudah terjadi sesuatu. Bohong jika tidak merasakan itu. "Buatkan kopi untuk Mada jangan lama-lama." Ibra menaruh tentengan plastik berisi kopi sachet di meja. "Dan bawakan ke depan setelahnya." "Iya, Mas." Nila mendekat. Membuka kantong belanjaan itu. Ibra baru akan berbalik pergi tidak jadi saat melihat tanda merah di leher istrinya. "Apa ini?" tanyanya menatap penuh selidik sembari menunjuk. Nila menjauh menutupi dengan tangan. "Bukan apa-apa, Mas. Hanya digigit nyamuk." Berusaha tenang walau hati bergemuruh. Ibra tersenyum kecut tidak percaya. "Itu bukan bekas hewan. Masih baru. Tadi belum ada." Dia maju memperhatikan lagi area leher Nila meski ditutupi. Menatap tajam juga dingin. "Diantara ke empat temanku siapa orangnya?" tekannya menahan geram. Mencurigai tamu di rumah ini. "Bukan mereka, Mas." Nila berkerlit dan melengos. Perlahan mundur semakin takut dan mulai kalut. Salahnya sudah ceroboh. "Jawab jujur, siapa?!" Ibra membentak mengguncang kencang bahunya. Juga melepaskan tangan yang masih menutupi leher. "Lepas, Mas. Aku mau buat kopi." Gugup suara Nila, tapi Ibra tidak peduli itu lagi. Dia benci melihat tanda merah itu. "Masih tidak mau mengaku? Apa perlu aku memanggil mereka, menanyakan satu-satu?" Nila menggeleng panik sementara Ibra tersenyum sinis. Semakin kuat rasa curiganya. "Kamu bermain api di belakangku?" Didorongnya Nila hingga tersungkur. Ponselnya terjatuh dari saku berikut uang ratusan ribu ikut keluar. Ibra melebarkan mata melihatnya. "Kamu bilang tadi tidak ada. Dapat uang dari mana, hah?" Ditarik rambutnya hingga wajah Nila menengadah menatapnya. "Jawab!" Namun, bibir Nila tetap bungkam. Hanya pancaran matanya yang menyiratkan ketakutan amat dalam. Juga menahan rasa sakit di kulit kepalanya. Mata itu dipejam erat saat Ibra mengangkat satu tangan."Hentikan!" Berhenti di udara saat seseorang melarang. Nila membuka mata kembali dan menoleh. Membelalak melihat siapa dia.WRITER'S POV The news of the human intruders spread through the entire pack and the elders of the crescent pack gathered to discuss the issue at hand. "Order for the death of the humans, Alpha Arthur!" One of the elders roared. "Yes, Kill them! They not only invaded our pack but killed some of our men! They don't deserve to live. Besides, if we set them free, who can tell if they won't come back to hunt us like they did in the past!" "No way! It will be at our own risk to kill them!" A calm looking elder said but he was soon attacked by the others calling for the head of the human intruders. "If they don't return to their homes, do you think we will all be safe!?" He charged again. "Still we must kill them before they kill us!!" An angry elder yelled. "No, Alpha Arthur, let's hear from them first! We must know their reason for coming into our pack!" The elders soon fell into argument with each person taking a side. Arthur marked the faces of the elders and the side they
VAMPIRE CLANLucas stood behind the window and starred out. It wasn't as though that was his favorite position in the house but whenever he found himself there was always when his head had a lot to think.Many things bothered him. He was getting news of Matteo's invasion to the human world but what bothered him the most was the involvement of the some of the elders. "Those darn elders should have known better…" he gritted. He wanted to punish them all. He knew it was the right thing to do but he couldn't. It wasn't as easy as anyone else would think. He needs a solid proof to be able to punish them. What if half the elders are already on Mateo's side? He sighed and swallowed hard. He only need to cut Matteo off and all this will end. But how?He can't let them keep invading the human world. The last war between them didn't end well for them vampires. With Matteo's acts, he feared the war was lurking again if the Humans discovers their hideout. After sometime he craved to speak to
WRITER'S POVThat night, Arthur never came back in. Eleanor was up and waited long for him and was worried until sleep took her while she waited. By morning he still didn't get back in. Her worry heightened. When she couldn't bear it anymore, she stepped out of the room. "What if I stay in and he never returns? What if he had gotten hurt by the intruders?""Oh shit, stop thinking nonsense." She forced herself to not think about negative things. She bellowed on one of the guards guarding her to come closer when she stepped outside. "What is going on? Were the intruders caught?""Yes my Luna. They were captured and taken to the dungeon as per the Alpha's orders.""Ah. Good to hear. " She sighed in relief. Then what on earth was keeping Arthur from coming to me….she wondered as she stood there hoping that Arthur would appear from the door somehow. "Those damn humans! How dare they show their ugly weak faces in our pack!" Three maids were gathered around a corner, hands akimbo with
WRITER'S POV"Stop there!" A loud voice commanded them. The three men hid behind the wall as they waited for the guards. Mr Samuel agreed they split up to scatter the guards. "I will stall them. You must go on. Whoever finds Eleanor must take her and leave first. Don't wait for the rest of us…""But…" Mr Samuel tried to protest. Uncle Bob gripped his shoulder tight as his gait and gaze focused on him. "We are here for her and you must leave once you get hold of her." Uncle Bob said, their gaze held. It was already clear to them the moment they agreed to take the risk of stepping foot into the werewolf world that they were at the risk of losing even their own lives in the process. "What of me…I don't know…" Detective Rob blurted. He was more afraid of when the men would decide to show their real self. Their wolf form.They splitted and went different paths while Uncle Bob remained behind. To confuse the guards, he briefly made a run revealing his location and quickly went into hidi
WRITER'S POV"Erm, excuse me but what is it you are having in the bag. It looks quite… heavy." The rookie detective, Detective Rob asked the two elderly men as he joined them on the spot they had all agreed to meet. "If there's need for force to get my daughter back then I wouldn't hesitate." Mr Samuel teeth clenched as he zipped the bag. "Erm, force? That's erm not really advisable. I mean they sort of look scary sometimes but I think they are peaceful people…peaceful wolves actually…"Uncle Bob strapped the bag across his shoulder ignoring Detective Rob. "Wait!" He blocked his path and demanded to have a look at the content of the bag. "What? What's with the guns and weapons?" Detective Rob exclaimed in shock as he looked into the bag. "No, I can't let you do this. I was asked only to show you the way and not let you start a fight! Besides I believe your daughter is safe and part of them…"Uncle Bob grabbed him by the collar. "What did you just say…" His eyes burnt in fury.
WRITER'S POVHarold and Matteo's plan worked. Some of the vampire elders agreed to his deal. "We will make you the vampire leader and ruler of this clan if you can keep to your words." One ọf the elders had said on the day they had a secret meeting. Matteo smirked. He was already having ideas in his head. If killing the weak humans was all it would take him to get what he wants, then he needn't think about it. "Yes, I will keep to my promise and you will also keep your promise."The elders nodded in agreement. If betraying Lucas would make them begin to drink the real blood, then they have no choice. Matteo began to infiltrate the human world and soon the humans began to disappear into thin air. Especially the female ones targeted as weak. Meanwhile, the rookie detective that has missed his way in the werewolf world somehow managed to find his way back to the human world. He told Captain Depay and detective Joha what he saw. "The werewolves are peaceful people. I doubt they are
