(Akbar's Point of View)
(House of Ainur, Palembang)
The night sky began to dissolve, the stars shining brightly like paintings in dark clouds. Moonlight also adds light so that the earth can see in the night.
Most people are tired of the activities they do today, some are walking as usual, some are amazing but some are also bad luck.
To forget tired and fill energy, sleep is one of the answers to the basic needs of humans.
Fatigue and fatigue will be reduced to no longer feel when you wake up, but in contrast to resist sleepiness at night, people usually call “Begadang”.
“Hoaamm” I refrained from evaporating, waiting for some processed ground meat to be eaten for a long time
“I wonder, is this sausage already in the process of machine and factory, why it still has to be cooked anyway?” ask Osama to the person sitting nearby
“Nah Bar try anans”
“Who am I?”
“And you're smart here” Ibra raised myself
I was haunted by drowsiness was actually reluctant to answer, but thinking about the question also made my brain function again.
“Iya also yes...hoaamm...” this time I can not resist drowsiness, “Sorry Os next time I answer, I sleepy really can not think again”
On the chair where Ainur and I were taking care of the shop, I spread out an exhausted body. At that moment I thought, “What am I really doing here?”
“Ahh really long, but just burn sausages right?”
“Why is it?, whereas we want to stay here you” said Ibra honestly
“Ha?! Stay on? Can it?”
“Kalo for our line anyway can, by him we have also stayed here”
“Emmm...” I think to stay here also because at home there is no one, if staying at home mamak again will be troublesome
“Why? Want to stay too?” god Ibra
“That's it, at home also no one is still on vacation. Staying home alone is how it will be later” explained me
I got up from sleep and checked the cooking section work, almost half an hour no calls to us.
Honestly, I'm starving, if I could add rice I would want to be able to hold the stomach until morning.
“Still a long time huh?” much
“Not soon kok” Agustina told me
Because of the story of Ainur I feel awkward when close to Agustina, to not stretch the distance I think friends as usual is enough. But what I still haven't found is the way.
“Bar ask for more sauce, try talking to Ainur”
“Hin where?”
I took one long skewer ready to eat,
“Plak” Agustina brushed my hand off because she wanted to take the sausage
“Sabar why? It's still not mature all”
“But why are you guys already eating” a few seconds they are silent maybe to prepare an excuse
I myself realized that if my opponent was all female, myself knew the consequences. Not yet had time to think, they began to give various reasons for many, as a man I can not anything else.
“OK, okay I take the sauce”
“Sip” says they simultaneously
I asked Aunt Siti where Ainur was, exactly in the kitchen. I walked up to him, my eyes looking at the figure that made my heart beat, the charm of a woman who was preparing food with an apron, Ainur in my mind like a good wife.
“Lho bar, why here”
Daydream stopped when Ainur already realized my existence, “Oh that they asked for sauce, still not?”
“Still, the rest is in the refrigerator can take sendiran”
I opened the refrigerator door, but my eyes could not stop glancing at Ainur.
“You wear clothes so when you cook.”.
“Hemm why?” ainur's face flushed red, I thought he had a fever myself, but I let it be because the shame was burning in my heart
“It feels more beautiful,..similar to a wife really jadi”
Ainur who was looking at me instantly pulled his face away, at that moment my heart was empty and thought what I had said. But so did I after expressing that word, feeling free and at ease.
“Me...indeed why if kayak wife bang”
“Eh, the..me...so like”.
Ainur and I were silent for a moment, maybe for a minute and a half, and in those 90 seconds my heart didn't stop beating so hard even worse than I did in the interview.
“I also like” Ainur said something in a small voice even though I vaguely heard it clearly
“Eh what?!” askaku returned
“Emmm, no! Already ah” Ainur so misbehaved, seeing it like that I myself became nervous and awkward
“O...oh so yes” we stayed silent again, until I ventured to start the conversation again
“You're ashamed huh?” godaku
“Eh, who didn't say? Are you not ashamed of yourself?”
“Hemm, shame is the time not” I approached Ainur who had stirred something not finished
“From earlier make what the hell, not finished-finished”
“This makes meatball dough”
“Heh makes meatballs too?!”
When our conversation was easy and didn't stop anymore, something shocking happened in plain sight. The one who first realized it was Ainur, until he stammered calling my name.
“B...Bar” the look on Ainur's face was clearly visible when I looked at me, I was looking for the origin of the fear until I was also surprised to see it
A black shadow full of darkness stared at us with fiery red eyes, as if there was resentment and envy being one.
My body could not move, even I felt Ainur's body tremble in fear, as if it was cold at the north pole.
“Per..gii..Per..gi...” a heart-wrenching tone of voice is heard from the creature
“Ya Allahu Rabbi” my inner start berTO’a
I forced my body to move, “Pats” my left hand closed Ainur's eyes so he wouldn't see the black figure
“Allahu Akbar..Lailaillahu Allahullaaillahuwalhaiyukoyium..” I read the verse of the chair connected with Al-Fatihah.
The glass filled with water before my eyes took, I sprinkled it little by little towards the figure that was right outside the door. The door bars I was not thinking about, flush them until they were gone.
“Yes Allah, Yes Rahman, Yes Rahim, Yes Malik, Yes Kudus..” I read Asmaul Husna, because it was very surprised I could not think clearly.
If people have ever felt how the haunted house rides can be said to be frightened but with preparation before entering, in contrast to my incident there was no preparation for the figure to appear in plain sight.
“Go! Go no!” I shouted in a firm tone
By the time I blinked his eyes he disappeared, visible in front of only the door with iron bars outside it was only a wall separating between the house and the Ainur shop. When I think about how scary it is to deal with subtle creatures, even I don't use any intermediaries.
That was the third time I saw a ghostly apparition clearly and at close range in my life, the first was a pocong inside the house, a red-tiered woman in school, and now a red-eyed black figure.
“Hiks...hiks..hiks” Ainur sobbing in my arms, my left hand still has not moved from both eyes.
“Already Nur, he has gone” I open both eyes, “Now it is safe, hopefully he does not come back again”
Without the cuddle I took off back on the deck by Ainur, “I was scared, my mind was empty not knowing what to do. Thank you yes Bar...thank you..love...”.
“Iya equally” I pacify Ainur
It wasn't until 15 minutes in the incident that I wanted to take the sauce in the refrigerator, but it seemed unexpected that many things happened.
But now we are just the two of us and fear that there will be people who see our situation, besides that in this loneliness the creature will reappear. But there was one clue I got that second, the creature wanted me to leave and not disturb Ainur.
***
“Nur Let's go ahead first, there are more crowded and safe” we both walk with the genius woman who did not let go of her embrace
Even so I myself already know that I can do nothing, and will do nothing.
“Sorry Nur” my inner
Those of us who were near the kitchen exit let go of the embrace did not want anyone to see the embarrassing state of it especially the Ainur family.
It could be dangerous if her parents see me cuddling with her accomplished eldest daughter.
“It's okay now”
Mama Ainur who was looking at us both realized something was wrong, from the middle of the living room she asked,
“Why mbak?”
“Ah is not aunty, Ainur was just a little tweezers” obviously me to lie aunty Siti
We headed to the front of the terrace with quick steps, in the middle of the road I felt a piercing chill glancing at myself. The eyes of a father who knew his daughter was close to a woman frightened me.
With a full body and height plus a fierce and cold face makes men who want to get close to Ainur become awkward.
“Serful once my inner Ainur” father

(Ainur Viewing Angle)
(House of Ainur, 20.00 WIB)
The noise and the crowd in the near-delaying night had already dispelled a bit of fear. There is something inside of me to remember the heroic actions of an Akbar engraved in this heart.
Beautiful and expensive flowers will be defeated just by protecting and trusting women, will certainly make them loyal and trusting.
“Thank you yes Bar”
“Nothing, the important thing is we are okay” whispered Akbar to me
I myself am still a little shocked and feel that I will have a fever later tonight because of this supernatural occurrence.
Know if after this class event my line-up will stay will be better Akbar also come with so I can calm down.
“Bar..” saw the look on Akbar's face became a little strange I briefly hold my request
“Akbar here, it's ripe all” call Bobi
“Okee. Come Nur!” take Akbar who makes me unable to talk to him
We both joined the group,
“Iya” I caught up with Akbar
“Bar where's the sauce?” ask the Flower in a firm tone
“Yes God forgot me. Hehehe...still behind, wait I take first” Akbar rushed to run to pick up the leftover sauce left in the kitchen
While waiting for the return of the person who took the sauce, Bunga and Rahma distributed the food evenly to everyone even though there were objections because they had worked hard to help make a request that the rations could be added.
“Well its sausage” Akbar back in a hurry, “Which is it?” asked Akbar in an impatient tone
“This” give Agustina to Akbar with both hands
“Oh thanks Tn”
That way the class event has been at the core, we enjoy food, there is singing on the accompaniment by guitar played Ergan, there are also those who play online games, and women tell a lot about their daily lives.
While for three men secluded themselves sitting in front of a shop bench to play chess, they always played when meeting either in class or there was a gathering together, Akbar, and the other, Osama and Raihan.
“Kayak kapak-apak just”
The event is almost over, but fate does not give me a chance to talk to Akbar.
The difficulty of the great barrier wall became a challenge until these few hours, it had even been almost half an hour and a half ten nights.
“Why can they feel at home for a long time there anyway, is not tired of seeing chess pawns continue?” my inner annoyance
“Ain let's take photos” with Dedek
“OK come”

(Akbar's Point of View)
(House of Ainur, 20.30 WIB)
Score the series between me and Osama, but I still can't beat Raihan in the chess game tonight. Just a hobby since the 1st grade where there was a chess race at school events, although only one year of playing I felt a little interested in this brain game.
“Skak...skak...sterr...skak” I repeatedly cornered King and Queen (Minister) Raihan, “Nah e’an how?” much
“Sabar cok still think” said Raihan with a distinctive tone of his commering
“Lamo!” firmly
“Hemmm, already this is so there is no hope. The minister has been eaten, the fort for that deckeng was briefly eaten again. Already give up, lose I” said Raihan who had not seen the hope of the minimums
“Wooow, finallyaaa..I won against the temperature, only this first time I won against e’an” said my pleasure
“Hehh, but there are still many losses, later do not forget much to learn again”
“Good temperature..hehehe”.
In class I called Raihan temperature, because he recognized and helped me learn to play chess.
Although it sounds strange but since the first time I called him as soon as we were both used to it, I myself considered myself as a student taught by teachers from the beginning.
“Sip, I came home first yes, it's already night” I said while standing up to leave them both
“Lho you didn't stay here?” ask Raihan
“Not first, I think it's better to sleep at home. Since no one is afraid of anything, I have not returned home from my vacation to Lampung”
“OK, just be careful ya” said Osama who sat on the different side of Raihan preparing to fight him
“Oke first ya” I also left them both, where still want to continue the game of racking the brain
Not to forget I also say goodbye to Ainur and his family, hoping to meet again when things improve.
“Nur!” I called out to Ainur while walking closer
“Iya Bar”
“I go home first ya”
“Eh you didn't stay here like the others”
“Not first Nur, I was told to guard the house. My family came home the day after, so tonight I want to check the house because it's been a long time in stay”
Actually that's not the reason I don't want to stay here, because of the unexpected incident the figure was I rethink so as not to disturb and meet again with him.
Even so my words are not entirely lies, just got a message that my family will stay one more day in the place of Sweet Love.
Seeing the look on Ainur's face at a glance symbolized the expression of disappointment, but it quickly changed.
“It's okay. Be careful on the road ya”
“OK. Oh yes I want the same sayings Om and Auntie also”
“Ah no need, most have slept”
“Oke la, I picked up the item inside dulue”
This heart ached after speaking to Ainur like that, itself doubting the decision I made.
Disappointment is obvious on the face, but I seem to ignore it even after the confessions of both sides are equally fond.
“Ah now that's not what to think, because I feel a bad feeling will happen if I stay here so it's better to leave. In addition, I also can not do anything if until the problem enlarges” thought I mature and long
I also took the things I put in the living room, put them in my bag and prepared to leave.
Before that the last time I stood up and felt something, where my eyes had to stare at the stairs connecting the floors of the Ainur house from a distance.
“Hmmm” I feel that there is someone there where we look at each other and stand facing each other
Feeling satisfied and as soon as my hair almost stood up, I left the room and prepared to go home. And know if the feeling of pressing earlier is not limited to ordinary things but “dia is there”.
