Before 365 Days
Chapter 21: Anxious

Wulan awaits the return of Adam and Marsel on the terrace. He looks paced back and forth.

"Koq hasn't sampled well, Mas Adam."

Before long, Adam came with Marsel.

Marsel and Adam parked their motorcycle in front.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Adam.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, a really old koq si, Mas!"

"I stopped by to buy baso, same Marsel. You prepare a bowl, we eat together" said Adam accompanied by a smile. Wulan nodded and went inside.

They both sat on the carpet in front of the television.

Wulan came with three bowls.

"Just make coffee dong, Nduk, hehehe!" adam said with a laugh.

Wulan sighed then went to the kitchen, making two cups of coffee for her husband and friend.

"Wulan's face looks worried, Dam. You still have it all to say." said Marsel as he poured meatballs into his bowl.

"Let it go, let him not be so sweet. I know, he must have been impatient to tell me about Mr. Kyai." Adam seemed to stir the meatballs and screw the meatballs.

Before long, Wulan came, he put two cups of coffee on the carpet.

"Thank you, Nduk!" adam said with a smile.

"Together, Mas!"

"The meat is already open, we eat first, abis it ... "

Not yet finished speaking, Wulan cut out Adam's sentence.

"So how? That license plate has a rose, doesn't it have a cell?" ask Wulan.

"I haven't seen the koq yet" replied Marsel.

"Loh, you haven't told me, Marsel, Mas?"

"Hehehe, forgot, because earlier, we immediately work. So no need to point, Nduk, Mas sorry well." Adam rubbed both of his palms in front of his face a symbol of apology. Wulan put on a jutek face.

"Don't get angry dong, you can just go straight with the guy, he's here too!" adam said as he glanced at Marsel who was devouring his meatballs.

Wulan did not respond to Adam. He prefers to spend his meatballs.

"You know what, Nduk? Marsel just saw the pocong." Said Adam trying to make Wulan not bete with him.

"Well! Seriously you, Mas? Is that right, Cell?" ask Wulan while looking at Adam and Marsel alternately.

Marsel glanced at Adam. Actually he did not want to tell Wulan, but the lemes Adam instead told him. Adam grimaced as Marsel looked at him.

"Hii, really serem. What's pocong's face like, Cell?"

"Ah, why are you asking that, Lan! I'm just trying not to remember it anymore." Marsel spent the long distance that was in his bowl. Then he interrupted the coffee that Wulan had prepared.

"Yes, I was wondering, Cell. You are not afraid!" asked Wulan back while arranging a bowl to take to the kitchen.

"Not scared anymore, Nduk. His face was pale, his body half cold, half hot. Now that was it, his eyes glared, his whole body stiffened. Mas, the same Leader who carried him." continued Adam while holding a glass containing coffee.

Wulan and Marsel both looked at Adam.

"I asked Marsel, not you, Mas!" wulan said with sewot. Marsel held back his laughter.

"Oh, don't sulk that dong, Nduk. Mas, I've already apologized. Now, Marsel is here, it's clearer if you ask him directly. You don't have to be angry with me."

"I'm not angry, Mom. I'm just pissed off. You're not trustworthy."

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I promise I won't repeat myself."

Wulan did not respond to Adam, he brought a dirty bowl to the kitchen to be washed directly.

"Look, there will be no rations later tonight" said Marsel half-literate.

"Fetish apes, Cells!" Adam held his head.

Wulan then came out again with a jar containing fish crackers.

"Cell, take a look, this is Rose's motor number plate, isn't it?"

Wulan gave Marsel a piece of paper bearing the Rose motor plate number.

Marsel looked at her carefully, he tried to remember her.

"Yes, right! This is the Rose motor plate number. How does Mr. Kyai know, Lan?"

"Sir Kyai this morning called to tell me, he tried merogo sukmo, he found a motorbike in the bushes. The color is also rotten. If it is true, it's the Rose plate number, Mr. Kyai said, we should not stop to pray for the Rose. Mr. Kyai's words, like a great warning to us, Cell! I just got goosebumps hearing his words."

Marsel and Adam read the words of Wulan.

"Keep, can Mr. Kyai come here, Lan?" ask Marsel.

"Where is the Rose Overall, Nduk?" added Adam.

"Sir Kyai can't come here, Sel. He said he would help from there. Mr. Kyai said, if the Roses go into the den of the demons!"

Wulan's words caused Marsel and Adam to fall apart. They look at each other. Instantly their bodies goosebumps. There is a sense of disbelief in Wulan. Marsel felt his heart racing faster.

"Lan, can you call Mr Kyai again? I want to hear more clearly." Marsel.

"Yes, he also said, if the license plate number is correct, I was told to call him back. Wait for my cell phone battery to be full, I'll call her again."

The three of them were silent in their respective daydreams. Fill their minds the same. Thinking about the state of the Roses that were in the den of demits.
