This story is just fictitious. All events that occur are free authors' essays, not actually occurring in the places and locations mentioned......

After the Kinara incident, the men in this holiday troupe agreed to sleep in turns. If you judge this excessively, then not for them. In a place far from home, they as men must be able to take responsibility for the female friends who are with them.

Gopal, had set out a plan to go home. But Salfa, still with a shocked expression after Genta translated his conversation with the grandmothers, refused. It sounds selfish, but he wants to finish what he started. He must know exactly what the ghosts mean. How, he still thinks. Whatever it is, it won't involve its friends.

That night, in the room. Salfa closed his eyes but did not sleep. He called Suri, for he asked many things. Actually, it took a moment to question the figure of short hair that until now still follows Genta, but after thinking again, it will be easier to ask Suri who he already knows.

"Suri. I want you to come. I need you, Suri…"

Right after that, the water bottle that was on the nightstand fell down. Salfa immediately reopened his eyes and found the grandmother who had entered Kinara glaring at him sharply.

"Kowe iki, how about, Nduk?!!" (You still don't understand, son?!)

Not until the grandmother continued, Suri's presence made him disappear instantly. Unwittingly Kinara who had indeed fallen asleep, Suri approached Salfa. "Better you sleep now, Salfa. Come with me tomorrow, I'll tell you everything. I hope you're not persuaded by those here, especially that granny."

Salfa. "You mean persuaded?'

"Not all of our people can you believe what he said, Salfa. They just don't like their house being used by you and your friends."

Soon, Salfa remembered the words of Mr. Aji. In accordance with what Suri said, that not all subtle creatures can be trusted. Honestly, Salfa was a little able to calm down after Suri gave him an appointment to tell him everything tomorrow. And so, after the beautiful figure left, he immediately laid down his body and closed his eyes. Heedless of some of those who tried to get him to communicate.

But for a long time, can not stand also hearing the voice of the mouth-pukahut. Salfa opened his eyes again and looked up at the nightstand where there were headphones lent to him by someone. Yeah, who else if not Genta.

"Now, you wear it first. I think you're gonna need a good night's sleep."  The sentence was on Salfa's head.

Although he was reluctant, he was not hypocritical to admit that he needed it. After her ears caught the voices calling her again, which she thought was a messenger from the grandmother because tonight was not as crowded as last night, Salfa took the headphones.

He put it in the ear, the headphones were directly connected to Genta's black ipod. The girl pressed the button on the ipod and the song started playing. However, something is awkward. That warm feeling, spread across Salfa's chest. But this time he immediately brushed it off, assuring that it was a coincidence. The 1000X song performed by Jarryd James is just a coincidence that it is the first song to welcome his sense of hearing.

However, like enjoying, until the time the song was finished, Salfa still did not sleep. Until the next song is heard. Titled We Are Young brought by The Mayries greeted his ears.

Salfa's favorite song again.

Curious, Salfa pressed the skip button to the next song. Did not know he had to curse or scream happy, because everything is songs that he likes. Immediately he remembered that in the past when SMA, his phone had been carried by Genta. Is it possible from there the beginning of this playlist can be exactly the same?

"Why the hell, Ta? Wh why? Why are you making me crazy" he murmured.

But even so, it cannot be denied that there is a sense of happiness that pervades him. Even consciously or not, a line of smiles formed a crescent round arch on Salfa's lips.

"So where is today?" ask Vin while sipping his coffee. Five people on the terrace just look at each other, it seems there is no spirit to continue this holiday. "At no spirit like that?"

"Seriously we're still gonna be here?" gopal asked with his face that looked extremely agitated.

"Well how?" reply Vin.

One hand Gopal he put on his chin, staring blankly as he prepared himself to say. Then he looked at Vin again. "I called Mr. Beni last night. He said ships to cross from here to Port K are not always there every day. Especially after two days ago the ship broke down in the middle of the sea, his side again did not check thoroughly. So…"

"So?" sahut Genta because Gopal hung his sentence.

Sipped his saliva with great difficulty, then Gopal just replied. "No ship for three days."

Kinara who was still inexhaustible with the events that befell him yesterday, only snorted bitterly. This vacation plan was originally four days, so had to retreat. He wanted to go home on the third day. The girl looked down with both hands covering her face. "Only one night when I call, I can't be honest about what happened. This is where we're stuck."

Salfa who had been silent since, rubbed Kinara's back full of reinforcement. Hopefully with that, he can provide positive energy in the form of support without having to be expressed by oral. "Gue call Mr. Aji deh, ask for advice we should how."

The curly-haired girl then took her phone. Immediately looking for one number in his contact, however, when he was just about to press the green button, he realized that the signal plastered in the upper right corner was missing, symbolizing the X sign.

"Phone hunting," pinta Novan impatiently after finding Salfa never starting a connection.

Salfa. "No signal."

"Huh? A timing? Just now there is a hook," replied Novan again, now while removing his phone. A moment later, his eyes widened confirming what Salfa had said. "Really, Dog! There's no signal!"

Others followed to check their phones. Even with different operators, the signal really does not exist. Among all, the most panicked was Salfa. "What if I call? Panic half-dead on him. Until the house gets angry again tomorrow."

Genta gave a small smile at Salfa's misty expression. For a long time he did not see the girl so freely in expression. Moreover, as long as in front of him, Salfa only showed the face of his jutek and judes. Salfa... Salfa... Why do I have to be so stupid anyway?

"It's a habit, Ta, to worry about it. Until not blinking. Ati-ati ntar entered laron," sneered Gopal with a grimace because it managed to disperse the reverberation of Genta who now even looks like a maling that was caught red-handed.

Despite not saying anything, Salfa seemed sensitive to what Gopal meant. He only glanced at a glance, his gaze meeting a split second with Genta. Spontaneously the girl improved her sitting position, as however she put herself, it never seemed appropriate.

There Kinara whispered. "Lo's mouth can say you can't. But your heart, try to ask."

Salfa nudged Kinara, making the girl next to him slowly complain while laughing. Before long, Salfa looked at Suri who was standing from behind a coconut tree, looking at her with a calling look, and he immediately understood. Remember that there is an appointment to go with Suri.

"Eh, guys, where's the plan going now?"

"You know, time here?" keep Vin scanning all his friends.

Gopal, who was originally ogah-ogahan, inevitably had to accept also that he still had to stay here. "Yes, let's go to the little island in the east. Take a boat. There's a captive animal there. Ntar can dive too," he said then turned to Salfa, "but Si Salfa how?"

Feeling the golden opportunity from Gopal's plan, Salfa immediately agreed. After all, he should have time alone to talk to Suri. When his friends dive, he can freely do that. "Let's relax, come on."

●●●●

More than half an hour has been spent. The six young men had finally boarded the ship to cross to the island not so far away, after Gopal took care of financing to board the ship. There, Salfa seems to have begun to overcome his fear. The girl looked down at the clear water almost like translucent glass. From where he sits he can see various coral reefs that do not seem so far because the water is shallow.

The view is really amazing. Enjoying the breeze, Salfa closed his mouth. Feel the universe that is greeting him with extraordinary beauty. The sun is very friendly, not too hot. How peaceful. If in his head does not contain many questions that run around looking for answers, it is certain that he will really enjoy all this.

"Now, I only know two fears you haven't been able to overcome, Sal." That voice, belongs to Genta. Because so fascinated Salfa in the scenery that surrounds him, he did not realize the Genta sitting next to him, with his hands resting on both knees.

"Lo know what about me? Don't you know."

Hearing the name of the animal alone, Salfa immediately glared. Indeed, if only to see the animal, the girl was ordinary. Just don't come near or hit her. If that happens, don't ask what Salfa did. Even in her current position, when there was a lizard that fell on her, or just passing close to her, it was certain that the girl would jump straight into the water, even without regard to the engine of the flaming ship.

"No, you're still the same" Genta said again.

Oh, my God, is he human or what? Whether Salfa realized it or not, the sentence he had been in was a very familiar one to himself when it came to Genta, ever since they knew each other four years ago.

"Yes okay, first one really. Keep the second one?" salfa's reply was completely unimaginable to Genta that the girl would respond to him.

"Believe."

The look in the eye, felt deep. Salfa was caught in that gaze for a while. Feeling his chest back in tightness. Inwardly justifying what Genta said.

"YINZAAAAAIIIII!!" exclaiming Gopal that made Salfa and Genta stunned. They also turned to the place where the young man whose voice was loud after taking pictures with Vin, Kinara, and Novan.

Anjir, Pal, you're very excited. Inner Genta.

Everything went down. A moment to greet the driver of the boat they were boarding. Arriving at the island, Salfa had immediately found Suri. Like giving a code for Salfa to follow.

"Where? Directly rent the same tool find Buddy Diver?" tanya Gopal, embraced by Vin with passion.

Kinara then turned unconvinced. "Gue didn't come, scared. I've never been."

"Lo snorkelling if so. Sama Novan tuh," replied Genta while pointing at Novan using his chin.

"What difference?" confused Kinara.

Novan is slow. "Diving is diving, the depth of which can be up to three hundred meters. If snorkeling, only one to three meters. It's safer."

"I want to fuck!" reply Kinara, enthusiastic return. "Lo's coming too, isn't he, Sal? Can you swim too?"

Not immediately answered because confused looking for an excuse. Salfa should not be afraid, especially in fact he also wants to see the seabed directly, but there is something he must do. "Lo know I'm afraid of the sea" she said.

"Well, is kirain normal?" sahut Genta is directly highlighted sharply by Salfa.

"Udah, you're leaving. Don't just because of me, keep on not enjoying. I'm fine here," said Salfa who a second later waved away. "Daa. I'm in captivity!"

Kinara re-embarked his decision. "Gue didn't come along."

Genta, realizing that Novan's look changed at once. He turned to Kinara. "Udah, you come, Ra."

"Keep who's Salfa?"

"Gue," Genta replied firmly.

While his friends were preparing to board another ship that would take them to the dive site, Salfa followed Suri who was still walking. That certainly makes Genta continue to wonder because he does not understand how Salfa can pass through the entrance of captivity. Walk somewhere.

Yes, according to what he said, that he would accompany Salfa. Whether the girl is willing or not is no problem for her.

Salfa comes to the edge of the island which of course looks like a beach. The girl seemed to be unknowingly standing in the water. He just stared at Suri. Waiting for the beautiful figure to speak first. Nil. Suri was silent with a straight forward look.

"Aren't you going to tell me everything?" salfa asked later because he was impatient.

Genta, from behind the boundary wall of captivity, stared in shock at the sight, Salfa talking to himself. The new thing he saw in the girl. Genta rubbed his sweat that swerved at the temple, while not changing the direction of his vision.

"Suri, why are you quiet?"

From his position that was right to Suri's left, Salfa could clearly see the figure smiling. "Sometimes, there are some things that would be better if you didn't know, Salfa…"

Suri turned, keeping with her smile. He extended a hand to Salfa. Although those questions still filled the girl's head, but she still grabbed the white hand. "Take off your jacket, come with me and enjoy the beauty of this place…"

"But Suri, I'm afraid…"

"Not to be afraid as long as I'm with you, Salfa…"

Calmly hearing Suri's reply, Salfa smiled and gave a small nod. After returning to the land put down his jacket, he followed Suri's hand which invited him to the middle. Slowly, it feels swept by clear water to make Salfa captivated. He began to feel comfortable with what he was doing. It feels so fresh. It turned out that being close to the sea was not as bad as he had thought so far. Moreover, the breeze was like carrying him drifting in the beauty around.

"I dare! I dare, Suri!" salfa shouted enthusiastically as he was very happy. Even the girl raised her one hand as a celebration. The joy felt real. To the extent that Salfa had forgotten his original intention to meet Suri today.

Still in the same position, Genta saw a person dressed in all black walking alone in a location not far from Salfa standing. As if his shock at seeing Salfa walk further into the water was still not enough, he found the mysterious person picking up Salfa's jacket. Genta immediately flinched, especially when he saw, the person reached into the pocket of the beige jacket.

"Willy!!" the thrill is because in his brain there is only one word that is 'thief'. Salfa's phone must be there, right. Especially the intention of that person if not stealing. "STEALERS!!"

Hearing a familiar voice in her ear, Salfa immediately stopped his steps. Looking back, found Genta running towards a point. The girl's eyes then moved on someone in all black clothes running after having dropped his jacket.

Immediately he turned around leaving Suri, but suddenly, his legs seemed to be dragging. "YYYYOOOO!!" he shouted before a moment then his entire body went into the water, further away. In the water, Salfa saw a jet-black hand with long fingers and fingernails that were like they were mixed with blood, dragging it. Although his gaze clouded in panic, but the clearness of the water made him able to see all that. Unfortunately, it's not clear who that is.

Genta immediately ran away from the mysterious person when he heard Salfa's scream. Very quickly he caught up with the girl he loved. "SAAALLL?!!"

"G-GEN-T-TA!!" in his moaning when he had reached the surface of the water, Salfa was still trying to scream.

It did not take long to get to Salfa, Genta immediately grabbed him even though he could clearly feel that the girl's weight was doubled compared to normal. From there, Genta knew, Salfa was dragged away by something invisible.

Some people from captivity apparently listened to the cries just now, and because the barrier was not so high, they finally learned that someone needed help. The officers standing guard there went out and helped.

Salfa, finally, made it out of the water. Although not until fainted from barely running out of oxygen, the girl with a little consciousness, grabbed Genta and cried on his shoulder. Of course with breathless breath. "Don't stay with me, Ta. Don't." Don't."
