CHAPTER 16

“Why with this Pentagram necklace?? What's with this necklace?” Fairro looked at the Pentagram necklace wrapped around his left wrist curiously. The gondrong sat in his chair alone in the lecture hall that had been empty half an hour ago after the lecture ended that afternoon. With legs propped up on the table in front of him, Fairro frowned still looking at the Pentagram necklace.

“For the moment...No one has ever cared about my Pentagram necklace...Why is it that a delicate woman like her who cares and is surprised to see my necklace?” Fairro asked – questions inwardly. “Maybe...Maybe me and Anggra have something to do with that delicate woman? Oh shit's...Might as well...Or maybe he is...Oh naw...No...”

Fairro rubbed his long hair in agitation.

“Gue must not think that is not – not before everything is clear..” Fairro.

“Hei...Turns out you're still here Fairro??” mbak Maya's reprimand that makes Fairro caught.

Maya's mother walks into Fairro's lecture room. It seems that the Fairro-level senior sister has been looking for – find Fairro since.

“Ngapain lo alone here? Accompany me to the canteen?” bring Mama Maya.

Fairro glanced at his watch. It's 4 in the afternoon. The presence of Mbak Maya seems to even make Fairro become aware of something. The gondrong packed his – books of college books scattered and immediately stood up.

“Gue...I have to go..” said Fairro.

“Where to Fairro?” mbak Maya asked as she tried to accompany Fairro's steps which were like a rush out of the lecture room. Fairro did not reply, the young man was sitting on his Harley Davidson parked in the parking lot of the campus not far from the lecture hall. Maya's mother who followed Fairro to the parking lot was nagging.

“You must pick up Nania right?” Maya's mother looked annoyed at Fairro.

“Ngak...I have business..” Fairro tried to quibble.

“Do not lie..”

“Ngak..”.

“Kalo as soon as I join..” pinta Mbak Maya.

Fairro's two eyebrows intertwined hearing that.

“Don't now ya?” Fairro's starter Harley Davidson.

“Oh Okay...Okey...But promise yes instead tomorrow you want to accompany me shopping to the Mall...There's something I want to look for there...Very important..”

“Ke Mall?”

“Please??” Ma'am Maya looked at Fairro with a pleading gaze, making Fairro worried to return that gaze. “Please? Just this once, Fairro..”.

“Gue..” Fairro doubt – hesitate to answer.

“Gue wait for you tomorrow after college...We'll just go straight there...Okay?” Mbak Maya precedes the word – says Fairro. 

“But I..” says – says Fairro stopped because the gondrong was surprised mbak Maya arrived – arrived kiss his cheek.

“Until tomorrow huh? Don't forget..” said Mbak Maya as she waved her hand and left Fairro. The crystal-clear – ash eyes of Fairro were wide-eyed at the increasingly distant Maya Mbak, his gaze looking extremely riled up.

When Fairro arrived at the door of Nania's house, Fairro saw Nania waiting for him there.

“Sorry..” Fairro said to Nania.

“Ngak what – what, Fairro...I haven't been long either...Because Winda, Lusy and Abi had long finished PR at my home, so I had to wait for them to come home first to be ready – is ready...Don't know, they seem to deliberately linger – long...Want to wiggle come time?” sahut Nania while laughing. Fairro laughed too.

Nania always liked to see Fairro laugh. The ash-eyed gondrong – ashes will look so sweet when laughing. Lusy is right, Fairro is so cute...Inner Nania was enchanted.

“We go now?” fairro asked while thrusting the helmet at Nania.

“Eh...Da...Yuk!” Nania stuttered slightly in response to Fairro. After putting on her helmet, the girl immediately climbed into the Harley Davidson Fairro bonnet. 

Fairro never knew if the hue of Nania's face in his arms was so red.

“Fairro...Fairro...” whispered Nania repeated – reset in the heart. I don't know why...This was the second time he had a conversation with Fairro. But every time he shook hands, there was a turbulent taste in his heart, a sense that seemed to be able to make himself fly floated along with the wind that hit the two of them along with the roar of Harley Davidson who was driving on the road.

The girl felt her heart pounding so hard it was – that she was afraid that Fairro could hear the pounding of her heart. He saw the back of Fairro wrapped in a black sports jacket that matches the color of the gondrong jeans. Fairro's long hair that was puffed up behind a helmet sometimes tickled mischievously to Nania's face.

Nania pulled that hair. The girl could not help but hug Fairro's back, feeling the hitchhike move in shock from his actions. Nania did not care, silent – silent she closed her eyes and smiled happily.

Don't you know?

You're the first

Make me float

with the cold of the wind

with the beautiful sunshine

with the birds chirping

Oh how I floated

Waiting for you in my dream –

Waiting for you in my peace

Blind to the eyes of others

Because you'll be my idol

My prince

Only you

Don't you know?

“Eh has arrived yes?” Nania blushed in embarrassment as she was still hugging Fairro's back. Buru – rush released the body Fairro and jump down from Harley Davidson.

They enjoy the Iced Cappucino and Strawberry Cake - which is Nania's choice - with a lot of jokes and laughter. The cool breeze in the afternoon leading up to that night made Fairro and Nania decide to walk – streets down the beach after eating, while waiting for the beautiful sunset view.

The blue sea water that repeatedly swept the beach invited Nania to take off her shoes. The curly haired girl was like a little bird that had just felt the freedom of flying, running – jovial runs around Fairro.

“Come dong, Fairro...Open your shoes...Feel the cool sea water with me..” invite Nania. “We yuk race? Who can reach the water first.”.

“Sheep?” Fairro could only be confused when Nania pulled – tug of his hand to invite a race. Nania laughed at the look on Fairro's face. Oh God, where has Fairro been all this time? He was like a man who had never enjoyed the joy of youth.

“Come dong...Enjoy the beauty of this beach..” Nania jumps – impatient jumps. Fairro, who finally opened his shoes, only had time to throw the shoes and also his college backpack all the way to the sand of the beach, because Nania had pulled her hand to run to welcome the waves that came sweeping the beach.

The two teenagers are like dancing with the waves, chasing – chases, turning – swivel, joking, laughing when the waves wet their feet – feet.

Nania hiding – hiding looking at Fairro, never had she seen those – ash eyes shine so brilliantly full of happiness. Nania let the hick grabbed her hand and held it tightly – tightly as if she didn't want to let go of Nania's hand forever, as if she didn't want to lose Nania for a second.

“Ah...Fairro...I am grateful I can know if you are not the ghost of Jelangkung...Heheheheh..” Inner Nania while blushing shyly. “Oh God, I've never felt a moment as beautiful as this..”.

They stopped playing the waves and looked at each other between the roar of their breaths. The gray glow of the afternoon sky that began to dim the light seemed to be a silent witness when Fairro's face was very close to Nania's face. The SMU girl closed her eyes feeling Fairro softly kiss her lips and then hugged herself.

Nania did not care about the golden red rays of the sun that gradually set – made the blue sea like a sparkle of light thousands of candles. Nania also did not care when the sky reached darkness at the beginning of the night. The curly haired sweet girl reciprocated hugging Fairro tightly – tightly.

“Ah...Mamma...Ma's...Look, Nania now has a boyfriend...Such a kind-hearted lover, so cute...Mama must have liked it too...Nania feels very happy today, ma...” Nania's happy feeling makes the girl like seeing the figure of her mother accompanying them on the beach. Nania smiled at the shadow of her mother, but strangely, why did her face look sad?

“Nania? Why?” Fairro was astonished to see Nania arrive – arrived let go of her embrace and fell silent. Nania stared at Fairro.

“Gue...I´m...Ah, nope...I'm not what – is...I just arrived – arrived just remembered with mama.” sahut Nania.

“Mother lo?”

“Iya...But never mind, don't think about it..” Nania tried to pull her mother out of her mind. “Eeh...Lookie! There's a grilled corn seller! We buy yuk?”

“Born??”

“Come ah, don't be bengong dong Fairro!” Nania started laughing again, and pulled Fairro's hand.

Sea breeze blow through the body – their bodies. Nania, for some reason, arrived – suddenly felt goosebumps. The figure of his mother passed between them again.

“Oh!” Nania was shocked.

“Why?” asked Fairro looking at Nania.

“Ah, no...No...” Nania does not want to make Fairro think he has hallucinated that is not – no, how could he now see the figure of his mother looks crying! Nania felt her heart beat like a fast race. What does this mean? Is there something wrong with his brain? Why did he see his mother? Is this a sign?

Fairro arrived – suddenly turned to the direction where the figure of Nania's mama stood, as if the gondrong also saw the figure. Nania bit her lip, did...Did Fairro see mom too? But Fairro just silence, without any reaction what – what on his face. Is this a coincidence?? whispered Nania asked – questions in the heart.

The girl saw that the figure of her mother had disappeared. But the beach night wind seemed to bring the sound of sobs mama's cry along with her blow. Nania shudges. Why ma? Why is mom crying?

“Eh, Fairro...Let's just go home yuk?” nania said she suddenly felt scared.

“Go home? Not buying corn?” fairro asked confusedly looking at Nania's attitude.

“Ngak so deh, I arrived – did not arrive mood eat grilled corn again..” said Nania like hurry – hunt. “Lagian is already night..”

“Nania? What's up?” urge Fairro to worry.

“No why – napa, anyway we just go home yuk?” Nania was worried to hear her mother's sobs still being heard. Fairro followed Nania out of the coastal area.

The – lights in Nania's house were already lit when they arrived in front of the house. Fairro catches Nania's hand before the girl moves into her yard.

“What's Fairro?” Nania panted as Fairro looked at her with her crystal-clear – ash eyes. Fairro's eyes looked so serious.

“Nania...Don'tbeafraid...Lo's mother must have approved of our relationship, she's just..”.

“What's Fairro? Lo...Lo see mama too?” cut off Nania quickly, hoping that not only did she see her mother earlier, hoping that Fairro would also see, and that meant there was nothing wrong with her. But Fairro does not seem to intend to continue the word – he said again. The gondrong stroked Nania's hair gently as if trying to calm the girl down.

“Gue go first..” Fairro said before he passed from Nania's presence with his Harley Davidson.

Fairro knew someone was following him along the way home from Nania's house. Something that floated faintly – faintly by his side.

“Do not...Don't go near my son...Don't disturb my son..” the sigh was so softly heard over and over again – re-establish the feathers.

Fairro frowned. Initially the gondrong did not pay attention to the sigh – at least tried not to listen to him – but over time he was disturbed as well.

Fairro knew, it was the spirit of Mama Nania who had indeed accompanied when she was still with Nania on the beach. Actually not only Nania who saw the spirit figure of her mother, Fairro also saw it, very clearly, but Fairro did not want Nania to know that she could see it.

“Tante...I love Nania...Allow me with him.” Fairro finally answered. “I know aunt can hear me..”.

“You can't be with him...You are no ordinary man...You're a mixed blood...You damned child!” Nania's mama's spirit expanded both hands and floated down in front of the oncoming Harley Davidson Fairro. Her curly hair like Nania's and her long white gown shimmered – luminous as if glowing but very weak and so faint – faint.

“Me?? Bloody mix??” Fairro almost hit something that passed in front of him, not the spirit of Mama Nania but the car that passed her Harley Davidson at a crossroads. “What does aunt mean?!!”

“Heh, motherfucker!! Where are your eyes?!!” swear - the absorption of car drivers on Fairro as if to be the cause of the disappearance of the spirit of mama Nania from the front of the big Fairro motorcycle.

Fairro no matter how many honked, how many threw – swears at him for stopping halfway. The gondrong was looking for – find the spirit of mama Nania who had made her upset.

“Tante!!!” shouted Fairro desperate –, but mama Nania's spirit had disappeared without a trace among the crowd then – cross roads that night.
