Candra Kirana
The Better Late

Kiran pecked herself in front of the mirror, twisting her body several times, ensuring her appearance was attractive enough to meet her heart. Kiran's face was only a thin powdery face with lip glossy lips in a cherry color.

Kiran deliberately did not dress up menor, other than not her style, she is also more comfortable if she can appear as is. Candra had already seen him in the ugliest of situations. On the mountain, without any makeup, even with climber-style clothes. Kiran had already shown him some distance away with the feminine side of a woman.

It feels like Candra is not bothered by her mediocre appearance, and in fact Candra is even interested in her simplicity.

Only with knee-length leggings combined with oversize shirts, hair tied high above the head and a soft fragrance from the body, has shown that Kiran looks adorable and sweet. Kiran simply added a cute watch on her hand as the finishing touch.

Septi who observed the behavior of his best friend suddenly became anxious. In his eyes Kiran turned even more cheerful than before. It seems like the dramatic story with Dodi has been drowned by the charm of the climber.

"Candra comes at what time?" tanya Septi was curious. "It's ten o'clock, Ran! Are you sure he'll come?"

Kiran ignores Septi's question, takes his best friend's handbody and unwaveringly wears it. "Isn't she pretty yet?"

"Ran .. It's ten o'clock! I think the macho you imagined was the wrong way. Never been here, right? Sleep with yuk!"

"Candra herself said her grandfather was a bit maleman, most of all. Be patient about why! I'm the one whose boyfriend is relaxed" Kiran said.

"Well at eleven, what time will he be home?"

Kiran glared at Septi at a glance, then replied in a nonchalant tone. "Twelve!"

Septi glanced at the weker on his desk, "Busyet, why not tomorrow if it's too late?"

"Yes like him, Sep! Maybe Candra has time at that hour! The important thing is that he's coming home, not staying in my room!"

"Enough one hour of dating?"

Kiran turned to her, "Enough, make a kiss until the jontor's lips, Sep!"

"But the clock is running around, Kiran! Do you want to be alone in the living room? Ehm .. suspicious! Don't you deliberately invite him to come over a little night!"

Kiran chuckled, "Geez, that's a common room, you want ninu ninu there? You don't want me kicked out of this hostel, do you?"

"Bu Andini is not home anymore, this afternoon I talked to her son! Go to his brother in Madiun, a few days he said. You don't know what to pretend?"

"Well I came home magrib that loh, how do you know that the boarding house is not at home. Hm, safe means .. sip deh!" sahut Kiran excited. "Trus now who's home?"

"Mak Tri! That's why I'm lazy if you stay on a date outside!"

"Well, isn't Emi home?" ask Kiran.

"I saw her boyfriend picked up just as you took a shower, at least not come home, understand young people, free-mumpung!" terang Septi frustrating. "So soon Mak Tri must have slept, duh deserted our boarding house today, make the atmosphere more serem!"

Septi massaged his head which sometimes still throbbed pain. The shadow of the kuntilanak upstairs has not disappeared from his memory. It felt like just yesterday she heard a strange laugh in the middle of the night not far from her room. Laughter that finally brought Septi to stay two nights in his place because of fear.

Who would have thought today that the owner of the laughter had even manifested in front of him with a frightening look?

Septi feels increasingly haunted by strange things that should not be seen. Not just at the boarding house, but on campus he saw the black prowess in the bathroom. In the alley into his Buddhist house also encountered the appearance of an old man who disappeared after crashing into a wall.

Although Kiran will just sit around in the living room, but it feels like Septi is sincere. Her heart was reluctant to be left alone in the room.

"Surya Temen us from High School, just as you also nganggep sister. You're hanging out with her ordinary! Well Candra? Not necessarily he likes me to sit down to be your insect medicine," Septi said objecting to Kiran's idea.

"Look easy, Sep! Candra would understand!"

"Look at it later. Call me to let Cepet come! I want this eleven o'clock, Ran!"

Kiran chuckled, "Candra doesn't have a cell phone, Sep! I can-can phone that vibrates his wallet!"

Septi said in disbelief, "You're being copied, where is there anyone who doesn't have a cell phone in modern times? What are you related to him wearing? Telepathy?"

"House has no electricity, no signal because of the corners, so why does he have a cell phone?" Kiran chimed in while peering at the exit.

Septi was surprised, "Oh my goodness .. So Candra is a village guy?"

"Hm, his house on the mountain slope," replied Kiran cuek.

"Ckckck ... since when did your taste buds drop so, Ran?"

Kiran laughed, "Since knowing Candra. You haven't seen my ndesoku boyfriend, Sep! If you've seen me guarantee you forgot Surya."

"You really succeeded in making people curious, be careful if the appearance is not macho as expected!"

"Involuntarily hehehe," Kiran said with a happy-go-lucky laugh.

The next minute, the change in temperature began to occur. The weather was initially cold because the rain had only warmed a little. Both Septi and Kiran felt goosebumps for a moment. The two even simultaneously rubbed the nape simultaneously.

Septi rubbed his arms, "I'm goosebumps, why?"

"Maybe it's the cold, Sep!" Kiran rubbed her hands together to throw away the horror.

"No, I feel something is strange! Why am I so sensitive to this same thing anyway?" Septi complained quietly, then yawned wide.

His brain said there was a magic that touched the air around his hostel until it felt different, hotter. Such a sudden change Septi noticed after his inner eyes opened a few days ago.

It felt almost the same as when he saw the kuntilanak upstairs, only now the composition was heavier and pressing.

Something that he could not reason through was also happening. Great sleepiness struck without being rejected. The pain in the pores of the body due to reading the presence of subtle creatures began to be felt, inferior to the sirep that worked together with the arrival of Candra.

"You sleepy?" ask Kiran in disbelief. Septi moved towards his bed with an expression of wanting to sleep.

"Hm, I'm lying around! Candra is coming to wake up! I'm serious about meeting him." Septi arranged a pillow and began to stretch the body. In the next second, Septi's eyes were closed tightly.

Along with that, the ringing of the house bell rang twice. The guest Kiran was waiting for seemed to have arrived.

Kiran gave a smile as she muttered, "Better late than never!"
