We turned the sofa to face the television. Prepare snacks, and plenty of drinks.
Geeta holds the Navy, while Om sits down, on the carpet. Lean on the sofa. I also sat on the carpet.
“Ohh, start! Start!” yell Om impatiently.
Several times I caught Geeta flinched every time her ghost appeared. I secretly smiled. Can he be surprised to see something like that? Did she not realize how scared I was when I first saw her?
In the middle of the film, Geeta gets off the couch. I didn't realize I was so lost in that tense atmosphere.
“Hannie..”.
Geeta's voice resuscitated me. “Eh, you're down? Why?”
Geeta immediately hugged my trembling arm. “Hita.. tagut.”
Looking at her frightened face at this moment instead made my heart pound. Both Geeta in a big form, and Geeta in a female form like this, equally managed to make my heart wail, huh?
Ah, but this time it's different. The feeling feels different.
My mind is no longer focused on the movie. All I have in my brain right now is Geeta. Geeta who was trembling in fear and hugged me…
“Hannie! Ung!” He pointed at the television screen with wide eyes.
“Let's just a movie. The ghost will not come out of the screen.” I smile at the smile. Still staring.
By the way why didn't Om yell at us? Ah, the bodo time. Maybe he is also in the middle of this movie. Is he scared too?
“Hanniee!!” Geeta tightens her arms and hides her face.
Why be that scared? I turned to the TV and found a white reflection on the screen. My eyes widen.
Before I could look, suddenly something had poked my shoulder.
“UAAAA!!”
...…...
Dien notices Geeta getting off the couch after putting down her rabbit. He smiled wickedly.
“Wah, kids what do you want to do?” mumbling slowly. Then get up slowly and head to the kitchen.
“Pake what's wrong?”
He saw the white blanket Hansa had placed on the kitchen nightstand this morning. He said he wanted to wash it, but it looks like the boy forgot because they went out to eat.
Dien's smile widened. “Bad kids should be taught a lesson.”
He covered his body from overhead with the blanket. Then chuckle softly while walking closer to the sofa. Stand there for a while. Let her reflection be drawn on the television screen.
“Oh, Geeta has seen me.” Smile widens. He walked over to the gray-eyed man who was still looking at his girl.
“Huhuhu, bad boy yuk heart gymnastics first.”
Miss Sophie's granddaughter turned to television before Dien could surprise her.
Oh?
For a moment, Dien thought his plan had failed. Butno. Hansa seemed to be getting scared. Unwilling to miss this opportunity, he immediately poked the young man's shoulder and,
“DUAARRR!!!”
“UAAAAAAA!!!”
The two young men shouted at the same time. “Wahahahahaha, bad boys! Don't make it so friendly! Spoke up! Say hello!”
Capturing who the person behind the white cloth was, Hansa's face immediately turned a dead red. He stood up and threw a pillow at the face of a man who was the same age as his father.
“Mood destroyer!”
“Hansa, you are not polite!”
“Incangdana da funny!!” Geeta stoned the poor man.
Until the moon changes with the sun. All three lay on the carpet with flatulence due to drinking too much soda.
...…...
“Ughh, belly Om ngeberebek.”
I'm squeaking. “Who told us to spend one liter of coca-cola alone. Karma also jailin us malem-malem.”
Om chuckles. “Damn you, Han. Who told you to uwu-uwuan in front of Om. Sins, Han. Your grandmother watched from the sky.”
“Wih, beautiful princess sleeping very hard. Yes, humans must have minus.”
Om's words made me stifle. Human yes... is Geeta even human?
“Let me move Geeta to room.” I carried her slowly, and took her upstairs.
“Just move on, Han. Cu-ma-min-da-hin.”
I groan. “Iyaaa.”
After moving Geeta to the bed. I went back downstairs and tidied up the whole mess we made in the TV room.
Ugh, spices food scattered everywhere. I'm hissing. How could I sleep on this dirty carpet last night?
“Han, you have vegetable stock?” Opened the fridge door.
“Live the carrot. I haven't shopped yet.”
“Hmm.” Om nodded and took out the remaining foodstuffs.
“After cooking ngabisin many ingredients anyway yes. The beautiful princess ate it ga nahan. Last night at the restaurant too, he added how many plates?”
I chuckle. “That's. Good thing Om wallet is strong huh?”
Om grumbling. “Ya. The joint venture request period at first has been a promise to treat. Shy dong same beautiful princess. Wanna put it where Om's face is, Han?”
I nodded without fading a smile. It feels like the arrival of Om makes the atmosphere of this house warmer.
“Hannie!!”
I looked quickly at the front door. Auntie huh?
“Iyaa!” sahutku as he approached. “Why, Tan—” I was surprised to see three big boys behind Auntie.
“Who?” My eyes are squeaking.
“Oh, this is Diwa's hunter. Said they saw a woman in this house.”
My view cannot be separated from them even though Aunt explained it. “That's my friend. Aunty knows I rented a room here.”
“Oh, your friend's female?”
I'm nodding. “Om Dien knows it too. We have nothing to do with Diwa or the missing child.”
“Then let us check.” A grandfather whose face was no stranger to mediating. He emerged from behind the three men.
“This Mr. Sono. He said he didn't see any girls coming to your house. He just saw Dien. But don't look at your friend.”
I cringe. “This father could not be where my friend came. Maybe go to the bathroom or what?” about me.
“Stay, your grandmother is suspected of keeping Diwa. You must know that already, right? So we still have to check it.”
I'm holding those who want to go in without permission. “Cannot. Who would you dare to make such a unilateral decision? Anyway, Diwa it's not like a mermaid?”
The old man, who might be more suitable to be called grandfather, grinned. “You remember what I said apparently? Yes, Diwa is like a mermaid. But, oh, young man, mermaids in movies can also turn into humans.”
After a close look, I just remembered. This was the old man on the bridge at the time. Who gave a warning about Diwa and such.
The wrinkles on my forehead are getting deeper. “You equate real life with such a fictional movie?!”
“Didn't you understand more about something like this? I heard you're a writer? I've read some of your work. Everything is fiction themed,” reply grandfather.
I gritted my teeth when Om Dien patted me on the shoulder. “Nothing to check. That kid is just a normal girl. They're both under my control now.”
Om pulled me immune behind his back. “The girl is sleeping. Better not to be disturbed. Father himself does not like it if his son who is sleeping is bullied only for problems like this?”
Grandfather who said his name was Sono was grieving. “This is no trivial matter. A child is missing without a trace. Would you consider this a trivial thing if the father's son is missing?”
Om Dien grunting.
“Of course not. But I also won't take it lightly when my son is accused of a no-no. Especially accused of being such mythological creatures. Why do you believe this abductor is a creature whose existence is between real and unreal?”
Mr. Sono growled. “You are not a citizen here. You have no right to interfere in our trust.”
“Oh, then you also do not need to involve these children. Because they are also not citizens here.”
Mr. Sono snorted amusedly. “The blind-eyed boy you protected is from this village. Her grandmother is rumored to keep Diwa!”
