Chapter 4

After the magrib, Sari and the team had prepared in the meeting room waiting for Mr. Arya to come. Each member gets a copy of the coverage plan. 

Bagas read the copy he received, immediately frowned and looked at Sari in surprise,

" Sar, it's serious that we're covering this is not wrong?" He asked half in disbelief

" Yeah ... Two rius is even gas, why?" Answer Sari lightly while preparing other materials.

" Crazy I'm just horrified to be this terrible, can we replace this?" Ask Bagas again

" What do we need to replace?" The voice of Mr. Arya who suddenly appeared in the room shocked Sari and the others

" Eh, this is a pack of his coverage material." Bagas replied stammered

" I agree, why should be replaced is interesting" said Mr. Arya

Everything is just silent, Mr. Arya's words are absolute for all employees. His decision is absolutely irreplaceable.

Bagas could only be silent when Pak Arya said that. Honestly, he did not agree with the idea of changing the concept of this program, but because of their obligation to maintain sponsors, Bagas was forced to follow it.

The coverage preparation meeting began, Sari explained the coverage plan that will be carried out along with their work plan schedule. Sari's exposure was continued by Doni who explained the tasks of each team member. Mr. Arya listened seriously to every exposure given by Sari and Doni.

" Good, I love your work tomorrow afternoon all teams have to prepare and leave" Mr. Arya responded 

" Accommodation and what about sir?" Ask Sari

" You usually take care of it in the financial section tomorrow bring the driver and our own car to facilitate your journey from one place to another." orders Mr. Arya directly recorded Sari 

" Okay meeting tonight I think enough, tomorrow I want a report on my desk" said Mr. Arya as it passed

Sari, Doni, and Bagas cleared the meeting room while the others had said goodbye to go home. 

" This Abis we go yuk." take Bagas

" Where?" Ask Sari while tidying up the files and taking her out of the meeting.

" Ordinary favorite cafe, the place of the beloved gig." replied Bagas with a smile

Bagas almost every night visited the cafe where ordinary students gathered, near a private university on Imam Bonjol street. Actually he was there to approach the biduan who is also a student. But Bagas still did not dare to express love to his heart.

The weather tonight is less supportive, the rain seems to be coming down soon. Sari, Doni and Bagas arrive at the intended cafe. They ordered some snacks and of course coffee to relieve fatigue all day working. 

Before long their order came, the strong aroma of coffee that was leaving made them immediately sip coffee from their respective cups.

" When are we leaving, really tomorrow afternoon?" Ask Bagas

" The plan is that, at the latest in the afternoon we have already revoked" replied Sari

" Direct to the village or what?"

" No, we went to Cirebon first to stop by my brother's house there abis that we just drove to our destination village."sahut Sari

" Who's going to Cirebon, back and forth our dong?" Ask Bagas again

Sari looked at Bagas then let out a long sigh.

" You want us to snail without preparation at least there will be people who can anter us rich tour guide that." replied Sari

" Bener tuh, yes we play nyelonong aja to the house of people without Gas permission," said Doni who had been engrossed with his cellphone surfing in cyberspace.

" Lagian inget this mystical coverage, I'd like to rashly go down to the field without a companion and any provisions" said Sari again

" Well, that's right, I haven't started yet, I've got the creeps of the innate" said Bagas

" Eh trus we go to Cirebon mo why Sar, just mo meet kangen same sodara you aja nih?" Ask Doni while continuing to play his phone

" I intend to ask for help from a cousin to anter us to the village it happened to be his wife who was a real person, well quite we already have a way to deketin village elders there" replied Sari

" Your brain is very smart Sar, pantes become the commander's favorite." said Doni 

" Tell me again sambit you use Don's chair." Sari replied annoyed

Doni and Bagas laughed at seeing his best friend upset. They are very happy to tease Sari, their closeness has been established since working at a private television station. From the beginning of being accepted as employees they are always on the same team.

Doni is a photographer and a reliable cameraman is also a friend of Sari since High School, his style is pretentious to Betawi and even though he is a native of Demak people. Her curly hair and ripe brown skin make her look sweet with a mole that adorns the corners of her lips.

While Bagas Yang acts as the head of production is endowed with a perfect handsome face by wearing his minus glasses. His athletic body and his always well-groomed hair make any woman will be fascinated by him.

 Sweetheart despite being blessed with physical perfection Bagas never once had a lover. This is because actually Bagas only likes Sari but he always covers his feelings in front of Sari.

Sari herself does not know Bagas likes it just that she does not want to be tied to a relationship whose name is dating.

 Sari is indeed a beautiful face with beautiful brown eyes and her white skin clearly captivates any man. The curly hair is wavy and the wavy body is the perfect blend that God gave him.

Being close friends with Doni and Bagas makes Sari feel like she has a new family. 

" Don, yuk yuk yuk afraid of rain" said Sari while finishing her coffee

" Well Sar.. hasn't done the gig yet" said Bagas a little disappointed.

" Yes, you are here .. I'm the same Doni back first." said Sari while tidying up the contents of her bag.

" Eh, I'll go back and pull it out." said Bagas

" Lha, you're waiting for the doi gig he said miss him?" Tanya Sari was astonished

" I'm more afraid of losing you Sar." said Bagas showing his trademark smile

" Hhhmm..lagak lu Gas ... afraid of losing but not shooting Sari" said Doni amused while hitting the hat he was wearing

" I shot Don, the Sari didn't want to...Have I shot Sar?" Bagas asked as he rolled his eyes at Sari

Sari smiled and laughed a little, though,

" It's not time yet, if you want to wait maybe we can be." 

" Seriously, really Sar want.. want.. I want to wait for you, mpe when but do not over time yak keburu my old." said Bagas jubilant.

Doni and Sari laughed at their best friend. 

" Dah ah do not discuss it again, yuk back and drizzle this," said Sari

They left the cafe immediately because it was raining. Using the office facility car, the three of them went home.

 Doni ushered in first because his house was closer than the cafe. She lives with her mother only because her father died three years ago.

Stay Bagas and Sari both in the car. Bagas occasionally glanced at the silent Sari.

" Sar..are you afraid to live alone in a rented house?" Her question broke the silence

" I'm afraid, what's the fire again" replied Sari

" Need me to, nda," goda Bagas

Sari turned to look at Bagas, and smacked her hand.

" Mo die you feel good, can be raided by residents of the village later."

" Hahahaha..the name is also Sar's business, it could be a fair approach we thankfully married all citizens." said Bagas sekhenya.

" Neet talk about gas."

" Yes.iya…"

Before long they arrived at Sari's rented house. The rain was getting heavier, Bagas came down to protect Sari up to the front door.

" I'm back if there's anything call me...okey.tomorrow I'll pick him up" said Bagas, saying goodbye.

" Okay, watch out for Gas."

Bagas answered by brandishing his thumb, and soon passed as the rain grew heavier. 

Sari opened the door of her house, she spread her gaze around. Looks like the leak problem has been resolved. He took his tired body to the room to clean himself.

Tonight the lightning did not hesitate yesterday his voice still sounded friendly. Sari is still struggling with her laptop and coverage materials. Sometimes he looks for supporting materials through Google search.

The clock shows the time past midnight. Sari felt something bothering her a little. A strange feeling that he had been feeling a lot lately. The pain, cold, hot as if piercing the left side of his body.

Feeling uncomfortable, he decided to close his laptop and go to sleep. The feeling grew stronger making him uneasy. Sari tried to sleep and closed her eyes.

A moment later he fell asleep. Sari felt a soft touch on her cheeks, very soft and hairy. It was the smoothest book he had ever felt. Like a doll book but smooth like satin, soft. The touch of it as if rubbing his left cheek made him feel very comfortable.

The fur is very smooth like cat hair.what…

Inwardly 

Sari was shocked and immediately woke up. He opened his eyes but found nothing nearby. There he even found electricity that was dead, dark and only illuminated by light from outside the window.

Sari gasped, she was dreaming but like real. He even felt the delicate book touch his cheek. His heart began to beat fast feeling the peculiarity he was experiencing.

Sari tried to ignore him and turned on the emergency lamp that had been moved near his bed.

Suddenly Sari smelled a strange scent on her nose. His hair was bristling, he realized something strange was going on. The smell was pungent, it was the smell of incense.

Oh Allah.what else is this, Sari said in her heart.

Sari began to fear, he could only continue to pray reciting the holy verses of the Quran which he memorized in his heart hoping this peculiarity would soon go away. 

His eyes occasionally scanned his surroundings, he was afraid if something suddenly appeared that frightened him. His mouth continued to chant the prayer for how long until he finally fell asleep again.
