CHAPTER 6

“Thanks ya Bi...” said Nania while getting off Abi's car which stopped right in front of the fence of Nania's house that night.

“True lo gak what – is alone??’ ask Abi. “No need we make friends until you enter? Dark you know, Nan?”

“No what – what...Aye!! After all there is Mr. Agus, Satpam...He has opened the gate...” replied Nania reassured Abi.

“Okay if so, we go ya Nan?” said Winda who was also in Abi's car.

“Daaah...Nania..” Lusy waved from the back seat.

“Daaaah..” reply Nania.

The curly-haired girl sighed as the wave of her friend's hand – vanished along with Abi's car which was getting away from sight. At that time Nania had just returned home from school work at Abi's house, because it was night, Abi then offered services to deliver – friends of her female friends home.

Nania raised her head up, looking at the darkness of the night at 9.

“Actually today I have a birthday to –17.” whispered Nania bitter. “But my mom only left 2 weeks ago...Mamma...Ah had mama been around, Nania would have been so happy to be able to celebrate this supposed special birthday with mama.”.

Nania rubbed her tears which suddenly started to drip one by one. Papa's been so busy lately that it doesn't seem like he has time to remember Nania's birthday. Joe's? Ah her brother had not been home for two days, Nania did not know where her brother went. There was no WA let alone a phone call from Joe indicating his brother remembered his birthday today. Only Abi, Winda and Lusy would wish him a happy birthday. Abi even gave her the album CD of Nania's favorite band as a birthday gift.

Nania saw Mr. Agus her house security guard had returned to his guard post to take something. Nania sighed again and was about to step into her courtyard.

“Yes God!!” nania's strangulation was restrained when her eyes arrived – suddenly pounded on a tall black costumed body –, long-haired, who stood hidden under a lush tree that grew on the side of the road in front of her yard, not far from where Nania was standing. Si...Who'sis that? Han...A ghost?? Nania's cry stopped instantly, the girl suddenly felt her hair sitting up, goosebumps. The figure moved, as if surprised to know Nania was looking at him. Finally Nania managed to control herself and saw that the one standing under the tree was Fairro, the mysterious hunk.

“Fairro?!” Nania held her mouth.

Fairro looked at Nania with a pair of – ash eyes that were so clear as the crystal without saying – words, making Nania's heart pound ungodly. To...Why is Fairro here? What's he gonna do here?

“What do you want here?” nania asked in fear, the girl subconsciously gripped the big bag containing – assignments her school assignment tightly because of the strain.

Nania reflexively retreated a few steps back when she saw Fairro arrive – arrived walking closer to her. The sweet girl felt like something cold was melting her heart. – Hand his hand that still grips the bag feels frozen like ice.

“Nania??” Fairro opened his voice, restraining Nania who seemed to be trying to get away from him. At first glance Fairro looked like a doubt – hesitated, but then the gondrong reached into his black jacket pocket, taking out something. A small box wrapped in light blue gift paper. Fairro held out the box to Nania, leaving the curly haired girl flabbergasted.

“A...What's this??” asked Nania while staring at the little light blue box that she would inevitably accept.

“I'm sorry...” Fairro said before he left Nania heading into the alley next to Nania's house, looking like a Harley Davidson bike parked dashingly waiting for the young man.

“What's non Nania?” Mr. Agus, the security guard of Nania's house visited from behind the fence. Fairro looked at Mr. Agus for a while before he finally boarded his Harley Davidson and darted into the streets through the darkness of the night without saying what – what else.

“Who is that guy, Non?? She's bothering Non Nania???” ask Mr. Agus.

The curly haired girl looked at the light blue little box that Fairro had given her with suspicion. What's in this box?? It was in his mind to throw away the box for fear of what – what. But the curiosity that greatly defeated the fear of Nania, with the heart of – hearts opened the small box wrap. A tiny music box made of beautifully carved wood, so artistic. Nania opened the lid, a tiny ballerina appeared spinning – turn slowly following the soft clanking of Beethoven's Fur Elise song that flowed out of the music box. Want to not want Nania fascinated to look at him. A piece of white paper was tucked between the light blue wrapping paper of the music box. Nania took the white paper and read it. It's just short.

‘Happy Birthday Nania’

~Fairro~

Nania dropped the white paper, shocked.

“Dia...He gave me a birthday!! He knows my birthday!!” hiss the curly-haired girl was stunned. “Ba...How can??”?

The next day, when Nania woke up, she called Winda, telling her about her meeting with Fairro last night, and about the gift Fairro gave her. Hearing the news, Winda continued to call Lusy. And be on that Sunday morning to – 3 the friendly girl gathered at Nania's house, noisily talking about Fairro and his gifts.

“Yeah! So when we did you come home last night, he was nearby??” ask Winda not to believe it. “Kok I don't see yah?”

“Hmm....Ka's...I think he has a crush lo deh, Nan..” arrived – arrived Lusy said, making Nania shudder to hear it.

“He Lusy...Don't say that ah! Spooky me...” to Nania soon.

“Iya nih si Lusy, where can you make such a conclusion anyway??” asked Winda while frowning she looked at Lusy.

“Just look at the way Nania's birthday is known...Keep on wearing giving gifts all over again...Is it suspicious?? And we are with him...Unknown...Just met – met accidentally so...” Lusy explains in the style of a detective is analyzing a case. “Walau....Well...I don't know what creature...Ghost or human...But he's still a guy...And if the guy has been packed - kasi kado all that, surely he has a certain purpose...Surely he's pedekate again with a girl.”.

Nania and Winda were surprised to hear that.

“It looks like Lusy was right deh Win..” said Nania while looking at the music box given by Fairro with a look of fear. “Ja...So how should I? Pleases...Please me dong??”

“Aduh...How about?” The prime minister asked in confusion.

Moment to – 3 the girl was silent, not knowing what to do. In Nania's heart was deep, O Lord! What sins have I committed?? Fairro has a crush on me?? That ghost of the Jelangkung? Why should he have a crush on me??

“Eh Nan's...Fairro ride Harley Davidson said lo??” Lusy arrived – suddenly interrupted as if just thinking. “Hosts Eggs can ride Harley Davidson too huh?”

Nania and Winda looked at each other.

“Maybe....Ride Harley ghost too.” Winda responded in an unconvinced voice.
