Just like yesterday, Kiran spent her afternoon sleeping. He woke up in the afternoon before Magrib. His stomach was really hungry and his bladder was full.
Kiran wriggled, scraping a few times to make sure that the room she was in was her room. Kiran sat down while massaging her temple, suddenly her head throbbed pain, even though it was just to sit.
With a staggered step, Kiran turned on the room lights. He needs pain medication to relieve his sudden headache. Damn all the emergency medicine is in the daypack, and the bag is ... is in Candra's room?
Kiran complained, how could she go home without carrying her bag. Still with staggered steps, Kiran reached the handle of the room door, unsuccessfully opened, locked.
“Gosh ... Which key is the key?” Kiran almost kicked at the door that ignited her emotions. Still don't understand that he's locked from the outside by himself. And of course the main key is in his bag.
Still in grumbling mode, Kiran retrieved the spare key she placed in the ballpoint pen container. Then as soon as possible open the door and run to the bathroom to remove his entrails. The great nausea struck.
Nothing came out even though Kiran's energy was almost exhausted to get rid of nausea by vomiting. He just remembered, last ate 24 hours ago at the Candra house, it was natural that now there was nothing left in his stomach.
Septi who had just arrived at the boarding house immediately ran towards the bathroom because he heard Kiran's voice cursing. Septi banged on the door for Kiran to open it. “Ran, open! You why?”
Kiran's pale face appeared behind the door, “Dizziness my head, nausea too. No headache medicine, Sep? You just got back from college?”
“There, come on I kerokin all of you, go in the wind the next time you're abis kelayuran do not say!” Septi answered both annoyed and worried.
Kiran tailed Septi in the room, “Iya sorry, not until a day I go you have panicked half dead!”
“Aday? It's not funny how you joke, Ran! Have you eaten yet?”
“Not yet,” replied Kiran limp. “Which medicine, Sep!”
Septi took the medicine and gave Kiran water to drink, as well as two pieces of sandwich that are usually eaten at breakfast. “This is undressing, I'm kerokin!”
Kiran undressed and turned her back towards Septi who was ready with eucalyptus oil and coins. “Don't be hard!”
“Ish bawel! You smell so weird, Ran! Your body too why can it be cold like this?” Septi sniffed Kiran's newly released clothes and frowned in wonder, “What scent is this shirt? Kayak sponge pandan ... eh flowers ylang!”
“Your questions are many, Sep!” kiran protests. "I want to answer what."
Septi noticed the red rash on Kiran's neck and shoulders, then impatiently peered into Kiran's breast which was still covered in a bra, “You why did Candra catch a cold like this? This is her old red-red? A lot really, don't-don't get down there too!"
"Duh, noisy!"
"You're a big shot, Ran! I think people are out of blood! How not loyo if you run out of looking for direct assignment materials four days field lecture, go home and go on a date again? Not to mention the same news friends! I think you are sick because of insubordination with me .. it means blood loss because most are sucked with Candra," said Septi joking.
"Jeez ... so noisy you, just left a few hours too!" Kiran massaged the base of her nose, puzzled. How could he miss the field lecture schedule?
Kiran's memory returns when returning from Jombang. He insisted on coming home Septi with Surya even though his mother forbade because his condition was feverish. Kiran was asked to rest a few days at her home, Mojokerto. But Kiran reasoned strongly with the many college agendas. He even asked Septi to convince his mother about field courses that could not be left behind.
Sunday afternoon Kiran should finish the task at Lia's house, Monday to Thursday field lectures, Friday for reports last Saturday and Sunday his intention will be spent lazily.
Then how does the story tell all the plans that Kiran delivered to Septi while in Mojokerto were forgotten?
And Septi just said it's Sunday? So, Kiran was indeed gone for seven days? Just be right!
Kiran was unable to digest the situation that was plaguing her. He felt like he was gone for not a day. His brain suddenly froze, blank like a moron who could not think clearly.
"I'm the same you know? He's not talking!" said Septi while massaging Kiran's back. "Well done, don't take a shower, clean your body using water aja aja aja abis so eat! I cook, finish the dishes, I want to eat out with Surya!"
"What date is it, Sep?" kiran asked with a foolish expression.
Kiran gawked at the fact that she was not at the boarding house for a week. "You're serious, Sep!"
"You think I was joking? I'm going out for a minute, Surya is in front!" Septi left after his phone rang, bringing up Surya's name on his screen. "Sleep, Ran! I swear you're the tip of a living corpse!"
“You're leaving now?”
“Hm, titip what?”
“Salam sari!”
“Yes I'm walking first, don't forget my cooking is eaten!” Septi came out after Kiran nodded.
Although she was nauseous because she was not feeling well, Kiran went to the kitchen to eat. Just a few mouthfuls and a glass of warm tea.
His body that smelled of eucalyptus oil was cleaned as necessary. Staring at the mirror in the room, Kiran only believed that her face was pale and there was a black circumference around her eyes.
"I'm a zombie!" muttered Kiran while scavenging the powder and lipgloss so that her face was not too haggard.
At least when Candra comes later she does not perform too bad. Kiran planned to refuse to go to Candra's house first, she needed to go to the doctor to reduce the pain throughout her body.
While waiting for Candra, Kiran read the latest news on the internet through her laptop. Some adventure news also did not forget Kiran stoppedgahi. Climbers who disappeared on the southern slope some time ago turned out to have been found, but in lifeless conditions.
Kiran observed the photo of the missing climber's face, long enough for him to get a faint picture in his memory. One of Candra's brothers there is something similar to that climber.
Yes, the young man who had dinner together, who received a glass filled with red juice given Candra had a face shape very similar to that of the missing climber.
Kiran read more and gather information, long enough, her curiosity can never be delayed even for a moment. The question for Candra has also been compiled quite a lot.
Before long, the bell rang. Kiran moved because she felt that the guest was coming. Somehow he was like hearing the voice of the duk duk duk in his head.
And it's true, Candra came in with a smile right eleven o'clock in the evening. Kiran is also cheerful, infected by the curved lines of Candra's lips are very charming.
“I'm not feeling well, Can!” kiran complains spoiled while pulling Candra's hand to sit next to her.
Candra smiled understandingly, the magical journey became the cause of her lover was sick. “You want me to get treatment, there is a good healer in the village!”
Kiran lowered her head, leaning on Candra's arm. “Not a doctor?”
“That's the best healer the village has, can treat any pain, whether medical or non medical!” bright Candra while embracing Kiran.
Unexpectedly Septi came, entering through the side door with Surya who was carrying two shopping bags. Looks like they just bought Septi's monthly needs.
“Kiran no guests?” ask Surya. He only glanced at a glance, looking at Kiran who was leaning against the long chair of the living room. Surya did not see Kiran's guests as he thought they were sitting opposite each other, while Surya's point of view could not reach the seat opposite Kiran.
Septi let Surya go to his room to put the groceries, he curiously stepped into the living room. Septi wants to get acquainted with Kiran's boyfriend, all of them asking for help to take her best friend to the doctor.
Not yet entered the room, Septi's feet were unable to step any closer. His eyes were fixated unblinking, the same as his petrified feet did not move. Septi couldn't even call his best friend who was sitting in a friendly relationship with ... pocong?
Yeah, Septi saw the pocong, the pocong.
“Ki-ran!” hiss Septi suffocated. His whole body was limp until he fell on the floor.
