The day changed, everyone deliberately woke up early to exercise around the beach. Although of all, it is known that the most Salfa can not long be close to the sea, but Genta found a more ogah-ogahan look than Salfa.

He deliberately ran at the very back, letting Vin, Gopal, Salfa, and Kinara first. His steps are parallel to Novaan. Genta could feel his close friend was like avoiding him, by running faster. Genta did not give up. He soon followed Novan and aligned his steps again.

"Lo why the hell? Your face is so for that. Though the scenery is as beautiful as this," said Genta by stretching his hands in his running position.

Novan glanced cynically. "Yes it's beautiful. Last night we walked with Salfa."

Genta looked down after listening to that. Novan, who realized there was no longer any word from his close friend, turned his head. "Well, how come you're now the one with the face? Am I wrong?"

Choosing not to answer the question Novan because if discussed will remind him more about his conversation with Salfa last night, Genta then ran faster leaving Novan behind.

Apparently, Novan's curiosity leveled up. It was his turn to chase after Genta and it didn't take long, they were in line again. At that time, Novan found Genta's facial features turned serious.

"Gue seriously asked, Van. Lo why?" tanya Genta tried to shift the subject before Novan could throw him a question.

Again, Nova just glanced. Feeling like I don't want to say it. There's no way that he said last night he had a nightmare not even once. Except repeatedly. Every time he fell asleep, he dreamed the same thing. The believer does not believe according to what Salfa said before leaving the house. Various questions popped into his head last night causing him to be sleepless, such as:

If really the figure that Salfa said existed, what was it that came to his dream last night?

So right? Then Salfa seriously told that figure to make him unable to sleep?

Ah, shit!

While in front, Salfa invited Kinara to turn away from the beach. Tired, they decided to stop. Sitting around resting your feet while wiping the dripping sweat. They sweat a lot. There, Kinara realized the changing look of her best friend.

"So what, Sal? Is your mood improving?"

It was a heavy sigh from Salfa. "Do you know ice mix? That's how I feel now."

"Mixed means?" Kinara. "But the ice mix is delicious, Sal. Are you not mistaken for a parable?"

"Maybe it's delicious. But you forget I don't like mixed ice?"

Kinara fell silent at Salfa's reply. He himself just remembered that. If his favorite is iced tea, then Salfa's favorite iced chocolate is whatever the product and brand, which is important chocolate.

There, Salfa spoke again. "It feels really sad to know, Ra, every time I see Genta. Like old wounds about Bokap I follow back," he said by not taking his eyes off the sea ahead there. "I think I can see my love Bokap, as well as Genta."

Salfa again sighed heavily as a pause, then turned his head with a meaningful look at Kinara. "Gue can see the regret in Genta's eyes, Ra... I can tell if she loves me." said the girl then lowered her head, "but I can't..."

Kinara grasped both hands of Salfa understandingly. "But why, Sal? After two years, you've got a chance to fix everything."

"Even eleven years I didn't get that chance for my Bokap, Ra. Not because I don't want to. But because I am not capable. I can't make peace with the pain in my heart."

Now it was Kinara's turn to look down, trying to understand more. Moreover, his parents who divorced, also had made him in a phase like Salfa even though now he has been able to mengikhlaskan bitter past. At this time, he chose to be quiet first, giving Salfa the opportunity to bring out everything that his best friend felt.

"Lo remember, before Mr. Karni happened at that time, I said that I had once felt really alive?"

"Yes?" reply Kinara waiting for continuation.

"That's when there's Genta, Ra. After what happened in my family, which so I can never really trust anyone, my world is black and white so colored again because of Genta. After years of heartache, Genta makes me believe..."

"He healed my past wounds. Soin I'm really alive. Because my genta finds my happiness. You know there's nothing more valuable to me than trust, right, Ra?"

Kinara nodded in understanding. "But you also said, that after the time is over, you lose yourself. Now it's time to wake up again. Be sure of yourself that you can believe again."

Salfa immediately shook his head. "After he left, I realized, Ra. I shouldn't trust anyone."

"Sal-"

"FIRST BOKAP I!" sahut Salfa was loud, staring at Kinara with nanar while lowering the volume again, "she took away my trust as a daughter. The number one guy I should trust, fuck me, Ra. And once I can trust again, same Genta. He fucked me too."

The curly-haired girl looked back to the front with a hand that wiped away the tears. He tried to stop her crying but was powerless. Then, without changing the direction of view, he said one sentence as the conclusion of this discussion. "Gue can't."

From a close enough distance, behind the hut which was a stall that was not yet open, someone stood leaning his back against the wall in the form of woven bamboo. With teary eyes restrains the entire turmoil in the chest. A girl's childhood trauma has been patented once again two years ago.

Genta, who turns out to have secretly caught up with the two girls after a conversation with Novan, for the first time shed a tear for a girl whose sincerity he had wasted. That regret, it feels real. In his brain, events continued to spin last night after Salfa let go of his embrace and he reached out to join him back to the rented house, but was refused.

"Time passes, years change. But my feelings never changed at all."

"No matter how sorry you are because it's been a waste of me, it won't change anything, Ta."

"Lo heart hurts right now? THAT'S WHAT I FEEL TOO. But everything's still like this."

Salfa's sight that had his eyes wet last night then went down looking at his outstretched hand. "Gue held that hand once. I won't admit to the same mistake again."

●●●●

That afternoon drizzle. The sky was not so cloudy, but the wind was quite strong. The wind that Salfa felt was other, like it was bad. Something stuck in her mind, I don't know what it was. In the living room, he also felt Novan looking at him strangely and it made him uncomfortable so he chose to go to the room only. His favorite thing to do is write.

Novan glances at the passing Salfa, then realizes Kinara is engrossed with her tilted phone. He approached, now sitting next to the girl. "Religion?"

"I-iya," Kinara replied briefly.

"Eh, you cooked last night what? Not divided?"

Kinara who continued to focus on the phone screen because she felt groggy with the Novan who suddenly sat next to her, frowned. The girl then looked. "Huh? A cook? Mean lo?"

"Lo was in the kitchen last night, right? You bring a knife, cut something. I think vegetable kali, invisible, close your body because."

The glasses girl made sure that she did not hear wrong. His position that was originally leaning then changed, sitting more upright. "Where am I cooking?"

"Gue just don't think you cook that hour," replied Novan.

"Wait-wait," Kinara frowned again. "What time?"

"Nine."

This time Kinara increasingly inexhaustible think of where it came from Novan said all that. "Otherwise it's that hour, Van, Van. Yes where is there? I never cooked anything here other than boiled water to make coffee. Do we eat out every time we go for a walk?"

Stunned, Novan tried to recall once again what he saw in the kitchen at the time. Clearly he saw a long-haired woman standing there. Hair straight. Who else if not Kinara? There was no way Salfa had clearly curly hair. Moreover, with his own eyes he saw Salfa coming out which was soon followed by Genta.

"Aren't you dumb?" asked Kinara after briefly waving her hand in front of the unmoved Novan.

Novan was confused not playing, because once again he remembered, whoever was in the kitchen, vaguely visible from the dim lighting of the lights, he said, he saw on the knife a patch of red like blood. The young man who happened to be wearing the shirt loosened his collar. From his temple even began to pour cold sweat.

At first glance, Vin and Gopal were sitting on the terrace. While Genta was hanging on the other sofa with his eyes closed, the following headphones are attached to his ear. It was then that Novan finally decided to tell Kinara.

"There was a woman in the kitchen last night. I swear I didn't. In fact, I think it's lo" said Novan almost like a whisper. "If you insist it's not lo, who is it?"

Strayed, Kinara immediately put his phone. His gaze flinched trying to understand what Novan was saying. In his heart he continued to feel unsettled, especially since last night he saw the shadow of someone passing outside the window of the room he occupied. The shadow is like a woman too.

"Gue is actually very males ya discuss like this lo, because I know you will not believe it anyway. But last night, I saw a woman go back and forth in the bedroom window, Van."

Feeling panicked, after saying that Kinara immediately took the initiative to report it to Salfa. Soon he headed for the room. Novan just raised his head to watch him go.

Right after opening the curtain that was the door to the other room in the form of a hallway, he had not yet realized what was in front of him, he immediately gasped.

Araaaakkk!! The voice made Novan look up at once. In fact, Genta instantly opened his eyes and rose from his position. At the end of the living room, was none other than Kinara who bounced far up there. Vin and Gopal who rushed in were immediately choked when they saw the girl unconscious.

"CINARAAA?!!" shouted Gopal who was approaching quickly with Vin and Genta.

While Novan was still in place with his mouth open because he was still astonished by what he had just seen. What the hell just now wasn't wrong? He saw Kinara dragged from back to front, but like bouncing.

"SALFAAAAAAA?!!" call Vin after he tries his best to resuscitate Kinara but can't. "SAL, COME HERE, SAAAAAALLLL!!"

Salfa himself who was facing the laptop was quite jolted with a loud voice from his friend who called him. Hurriedly he came out of the room, and was immediately intercepted by the many figures gathered in front of the door of the room like they were protesting. Surprised, but Salfa as much as possible emboldened himself to bring them and find a way to pass through.

"There was ap-" the question he asked when he arrived in the living room immediately stopped when he saw his friends circling Kinara who was sitting leaning in Vin's hands, with his head down.

Just by looking at it, Salfa knew, there was something else. He sees Kinara as a stacked layer where the body and contents are different. Salfa approached, seeing more clearly a grandmother in the body of his best friend. Yes, Kinara was possessed.

"Kinara...?" call Salfa slowly.

Right after Salfa's voice was heard, Kinara who was no longer himself was struggling after his eyes suddenly opened and immediately glared at Salfa. Vin and Genta immediately blocked, Gopal also pulled Salfa's hand away.

"Basar boy ndablek! Wisata piro wae sing ngandani kowe supoyo ora died mrene, ha?" (Basic children can not be arranged! How many have told you not to go here, huh?)

Unlike the familiar Salfa, Genta, Vin, Gopal, let alone Novan, were surprised not to play when Kinara's voice turned like the frail voice of an old granny.

"Kene iki ora tau nerimo guest, understand ora kowe?!" (We have never received a guest, don't you?)

Everyone looked at each other not understanding, except Genta. The young man put aside his disbelief now and avenged whoever he believed was no longer a Kinara. "Nyuwun sewu, pansengan niki sinten?" (Excuse me, who are you?)

The sharp gaze from those perfect black eyes turned to Genta. "I? I SING NGUASAI NANG OMAH IKI!! Kowe kabeh iki sopo kok wani-wanine ngangoni omah sing wis decades empty? Sadaro, kowe kabeh persuaded stuff ala sing mbok gowo mrene!" (I? I AM THE MASTER OF THIS HOUSE!! All of you who would dare to occupy an empty house for decades? Realize, all of you are persuaded by something bad you brought here!)

After seeing Genta scanning one by one the people in the living room, Salfa could see that there was something strange about their conversation. He then approached Kinara. Begging the grandmothers to come out of Kinara's body and talk directly to her without having to be like this. Before long, Kinara then regained consciousness with a breath of breath.

"Kinara...?" call Salfa who immediately hugged him with a sigh of relief. "Ra, you're okay, right? Where's that sick?"

Genta and Vin also took off their hand checks and moved. Each of them rubbed a reddened face due to the tension just now. Gopal took the water and gave it to Kinara.

Just as Adzan was reverberating, the impatient Novan asked Genta something closer. He can't even wait until the Adzan is over. "So your logical thinking has started to change, Ta?"

"According to lo?!" genta reply is not relaxed. "Will you tell me I instigated Salfa? You think Kinara was kayaking?"

Despite not answering Genta's questions, Novan begins to feel his wobbly logic. Like everything is real. Although he still believes in disbelief with the possessed events that he saw for the first time, but, at the same time he also realizes. That they, there are.
