"Well, why are you talking to me?" Andre sat down to see the notification from his phone. I tried to unwind and open my eyes again.


"Who's this chat from? You haven't held a hape since?" he asked enthusiastically because he felt awkward.


"Ghost kali," I answered for a second.


"Don't mess around. Actually, there is a chat from your number," said Andre while showing a mobile phone screen that shows a notification from my number.


"Well, open it. Probably important,"


"This serious! How do you relax? Where is your hape?'' ask Andre.


It was hard to open the message. Just touch it and he'll know who sent the message.


"Here!" I cried while taking the phone out of his hand.


Open that message. Be sure it's from Layla.


[Mas Andre greetings to Mas Albi. If you haven't slept, let's go.]


I smile. I thought Layla was asleep. Apparently not. Immediately I pressed the call to connect to my own number.


"Where, Nduk?'' ask me after the phone screen shows Layla's face. Layla, she took off her hijab. Leyeh-leyeh on the bed. It was like his own room.


There's a grusa gurusu sound. Perhaps it was his friend who was surprised at Vidio's call.


"Get out of the room, yuk Mas... This bosen," he whined


"Why what?" much


"That's Layla, to? I want to talk here too." Andre wants to get his phone.


I immediately kept the phone out of his reach.


"Don't! Layla no longer wears a veil!" I cried forbid.


"Yes not papa! I'm her future husband" chirped Andre


"Neighbor! Far away there!" My banishment.


I banished him from his cell phone which I still carry.


"Awhile I was not in a huddle" Layla got up from her sleep. Vidio's view began to blur because it was not controlled properly.


Finish wearing the veil. Vidio's call began to clear again.


"Where is Andre?" ask Layla.


"Why look for Andre?" much


"It's okay" Layla replied with a smile.


Andre immediately grabbed his phone. Shining saw Layla on her phone screen.


"Layla, let's spend the night together!" Urgently Excite.


Without waiting for a pause I pinned Andre's head.


"Laila! Don't listen to this crocodile man!''


"Haha... It's so funny you two" Layla said. He even laughed out loud.


"Your body is overprotective, Layla. Not happy that his sister can not even accept the couple," said Andre


"No ... No. gabe.... Albi is not over. He was like that a long time ago" Layla said.


I kept my body away from the phone screen. Throwing my body again at the edge of the bed.


Relieved. I don't know why that calm is greeting. Knowing that Layla doesn't mind my attitude at all. I just did that to him the rest of it doesn't exist.


Isn't that natural?


"Layla, let's go out. It seems like sitting in front of the pool while enjoying the full moon is quite fun" Andre said


I saw the full moon behind the white curtain behind the window. Glows dashing until through the cracks of the leaves.


"Come on! We're out, Bi" Andre has changed his clothes. Wear a sarong with a short-sleeved shirt. I did the same thing, dressed casually.


In front of the room we had already met Layla and Aisyah. Continue down the stairs alternately.


In the living room we saw Dharma and his friend watching a movie. They must be looking for activities too.


"Hi, Dharma..." Greetings Andre


Making two people who had been concentrating on seeing the film in front of the screen look at the same time.


"Eh! Where are you guys going?'' ask Dharma


"Don't know. Find some activity,".


I saw the movie they were watching. Horror movie and pretty gripping.


I looked towards Andre and Layla alternately. See their agreement. If I don't, I don't force it either.


We can play games in the backyard while enjoying the breeze.


But from his reaction to the three people next to me were already glued to the television screen.


"We'll just watch it" I said.


Looking for a place in front of Vivi. Crossed over the fur carpet. Andre did the same. Dharma saw me sitting down, coming down from the chair and going cross-legged there.


"Layla and Aisyah sit on top of it" Dharma said.


Both are according to what Dharma says. Sitting on the couch.


The horror-themed film tells the story of a female ghost, Dutch Noni with flickering blue eyes.


In his story, he was lost because his body had not been properly buried. He wasn't evil, it was just scary if he met a mortal enemy. In addition to wanting revenge he wanted a man who could see him to be able to find his body. Then buried it properly.


In addition to horror, in the film the female ghost fell in love with the Youth. Because his face is exactly with his lover in the past. The ghost is not creepy for the young man because every time he appears he looks beautiful and charming woman. No doubt, the young man also fell in love even though he knew very well if the woman was a ghost.


The adventure began, where the man looked for the corpse of his ghost lover. As a sign of love, she would do anything to find the body. However, he will be separated forever after the body is properly buried.


The female ghost can fly flying, pierce and eliminate whenever she likes. But he couldn't figure out exactly where the body was. He could only give a hint if it was in a damp and dark place.


The movie is not so horror. It looks like a romance between a ghost and a human. Only a few parts could make tense. That's when the ghost was reunited with the murder he used to be. Tragically after being stolen his virginity the ghost was strangled to death. That's why he's not calm.


Dharma's friend in the middle of watching left. I don't know where, but when he came back he had brought a snack and some drinks. He gave it to Layla too.


I don't know if Layla likes that movie or not. We rarely watch this. She prefers to read, especially now that last I know she's starting to love romance novels.


Huh! He's already starting to grow up. Soon she will feel what love is.


While enjoying the snacks we served, we continued watching. Until it doesn't feel like it's getting night time. The film lasted nearly three hours. It was long and tiring, but it didn't make us feel it.


"Finally it's done! The movie too!" Andre was the first to comment.


He raised both his hands up to stretch his joint muscles. We all do the same thing in different ways.


"You want to watch something else, right?" ask Andre


He's hooked. His eyes were fixed on the row of DVD tapes that were on the bottom shelf of the television.


"Sorry, Mrs Albi... Layla," Aisyah said making me look directly back.


I saw Layla curled up on the couch. Eyes closed.


"When has Layla slept?" ask Andre


"Since then, it's been almost an hour" Aisyah replied


"Yes Alloh ... Why don't you tell me it's a pity that tonight's sleeping here" Andre said


He watched Layla fall asleep like that. Cowering like cold.


Aisha did not answer. He's biting his lower lip. He certainly didn't want that either. But he also did not dare to say anything. Now she was the only woman among us still awake.


"I'll get you a blanket, yes" Dharma said


"No need. Let me just take him to the room" stop me


All the men in front of me were staring. What was? It's also impossible for Layla to sleep outside. Especially the cold.


I walked over to Layla. Justifying the location of his body to be stretched. It was only then that I lifted him into my arms. He carried her to her room. Aisha followed me from behind.


This isn't the first time. I often even do this. Layla is easy to fall asleep when bored. That means he didn't enjoy the movie very much. If he did, he wouldn't have fallen asleep like this. Or maybe he was tired, so he fell asleep.


"So you guys have prayed Isya'?" I asked after Aisyah opened the door to their room.


Their room was the same as the one I occupied. It's just a different setting.


"Here you go" replied Aisha.


He's still standing far away from where I am today. I put Layla on the bed. Cover him all.


Layla's face looked calm as she fell asleep.


"He's asleep. You are also fast asleep, it is night," I told Aisyah.


He nodded while replying with a smile.


Which is not finished I think. Why did the two men come into the room. Dharma and Andre turned out they followed me to the front of the room.


"He's asleep" I told them both. I closed Layla's room after that I went into my room.
