Horror And Mystery Stories
where's food?
That night the rain drenched the path on the outskirts of Jakarta. Seen shiny puddles exposed to the light of the lights of the houses of residents who are crammed into each other. That night the cold air felt very piercing, even the warm clothes I was wearing did not warm my body at all.
At 23.46 WIB.
As usual, I came home from work. The atmosphere of the night was very quiet, probably because it was night and a little drizzle I thought so people prefer to stay in a warm house. I also accelerated my footsteps so that I could get to my boarding place soon. A very tiring day, a lot of people who come to the restaurant where I work up to my feet as if they never stop stepping. I was just thinking about getting to my boarding place and getting some rest. I didn't even think of cleaning my body first.
I live with my friend, Aryo, a final semester student who was also my high school class friend. We both went to college while working, but last month Aryo resigned from her workplace in order to focus more on her end-of-school assignments.
Arriving at the boarding place I saw Aryo was seriously watching television.
“Yo, have you eaten belom? I brought Mas Rasbo nih” fried rice, Aryo just kept quiet and kept staring at the television in front of him.
I also went to the kitchen. The cost we occupied was shaped like a house with several rooms in it. If seen more like a rented house even like your own house because this is a new building and we both fill the cost.
After picking up the plate and spoon I rushed towards the television room. I sat a little away from the television until Aryo was seen behind me. I used to eat while watching television.
When cool chewing suddenly I was surprised by Aryo who suddenly laughed loudly. Several times he laughed even as his laughter seemed to be shrill shutting my ears.
After finishing my meal I rushed to my room. I also picked up my phone from the afternoon in my bag. I rushed into my room and…
Shit man!!! I saw Aryo curled up hugging a roll!
My already very tired body was getting weaker due to that sight. Suddenly I was startled by the vibration of my phone and saw a message notification.
“Bro, I can just go back tomorrow, I'm out of tiket”
I forgot one thing, I was alone in the boarding house because Aryo was coming home to his parents' house 3 days ago.
I couldn't do anything more, even to shout my voice was locked. Suddenly my legs grew limp when the sound of laughter “Aryo” getting louder and shrill. I turned to look at the voice and saw “Aryo” was behind me and slowly his head started to spin with a very wide smile he said.
“Where is the food?”
