"You guys?" I was surprised not to think my friends could come here. I never brought them here.
"Why? You're disappointed that it wasn't your girlfriend who came?" answer Nura with a ketus.
"Can we come in?" ask Mia.
I let them in and sit in the living room. They were all observing my grandmother's classic house.
"Your grandmother's house is great ...."
"thank you. Let me get you a drink .. You guys just sit down, think of it as your own home!" I went inside and asked Min to bring drinks and snacks for my friend. Then I told my grandmother that the ones who came were my friends.
My grandmother was not a random person, she was one of the landlords in this village. Since my grandfather died, my grandmother took his place. Now all my grandmother's work, left to my uncle I've never seen. My mother's youngest brother who is now the village head in this village. Unfortunately, I forgot my uncle's name.
"How come you guys are here?" I went back to the living room and brought food and drinks to my friends.
"Why? You don't like it?" ask Nura.
"It's not so Nura, I'm glad you guys came."
"It's been hard for us to see you since the arrival of that new student who became your girlfriend. Even to talk to you, we can't. Yua also didn't want to say anything to us. That's why we forced him to drive us here!" Nura sounded angry and emotional. I can understand their feelings.
"I understand why you're angry with me. The situation I was in was so difficult that I couldn't explain it to you. Besides, I'm also afraid that my problems will affect you too."
"Then Yua? Does he know your problem? Why are you choosing love? Are we not your friends, either?" tanya Mia was no less emotional than Nura.
"It's because you're my friends. That's why I don't want you guys to worry about me .. I hope you don't misunderstand me."
"alright. Now explain to us what really happened. That's also if you still think of us as your friends."
I took a long breath. Yua was silent without comment. Nura and Mia also looked at me with very serious faces, only this time I saw them this serious.
"We'll just go to my room. There's a grandmother inside, don't let her know."
They followed me upstairs and headed straight for my room. I shut the door and locked it. The window of the room that had been open was also closed with the curtain. I did this so that no one would hear our conversation. The three of them sat on my mother's bed and I sat on my study desk chair.
There was no other choice but to explain everything to these two silly friends of mine. The reason why I have to be with Refald at this time and why he should be forced to admit me as his pretend girlfriend. I told him everything, from the beginning of the meeting to what is happening now.
They made no comment when I finished explaining my problem. I wait for how they react.
"So right .. Are you dating her?"
As expected, those words came out of Nura's mouth.
Yua immediately threw him with a pillow on the bed.
"Auwww... what? Why'd you throw me a pillow, huh?" Nura glared at Yua, and Yua also glared back.
"They're just pretending, you idiot! You still don't understand?" naturally.
"What difference? They're always together. Sooner or later they're gonna be really dating."
"Shut up!" Yua smothered Nura's mouth. Afraid that someone else will listen.
"You are silent!" Nura releases Yua's defender.
The two of them pulled each other's hands and made my entire room fall apart. I just watched their silly behavior. At a time like this, there were still times where they fought like that.
"Ehmmm .. until when?" asked Mia who had been silent without caring about her two friends who were fighting.
I turned to look at Mia. He was much calmer than usual. I can see that Mia's a little more mature.
"Actually I don't know for sure, I can only confirm it after the bandage in his hand is opened."
"Is his arm really that bad? But why was he able to carry you when you passed out?"
"What?" I'm appalled. "What did you say?"
"Your boyfriend? Everyone was amazed to see it. He carries you with only one hand. I wanted to pass out too." Nura who stopped fighting with Yua and started fantasizing.
I don't understand, so Refald lied to me? Then why did he say he wasn't the one who took me? What the hell is this?
"If you pass out ... There is only one creature that will come? Genie iprit!" said Yua.
"You think I'm a demon?"
"You are more fearsome than the devil. Satan is really afraid of you. You don't know?" yua Ledek.
"Awas. Just look later if you're home alone, don't yell if I bring the kuntilanak troops to your house!"
"Huuuuu .. takuuuut!" Yua acted scared in front of us.
I smiled at their silly behavior. They can always make me laugh.
Braakkkk! Suddenly the window opened itself. Shocked the entire room because of the sound of the buzz. A strong wind came in and blew towards us. We were shocked to death.
For a moment we were silent and looked at each other. How can the window that I have closed tightly suddenly open itself. My friends look scared.
"There was nothing, maybe I forgot to lock the window so it opened with the wind. Don't be so scared." I tried to calm them down. "Don't think weird, I've been here from yesterday, there's nothing." I closed the window again.
I looked around and there was nothing out there. This is just a normal wind because it is now approaching the rainy season.
Ting ... keg ....
The bell rang again, Nura was aghast and immediately hugged Yua, Yua was also shocked because of Nura's embrace. But he immediately pushed away the girl's body so that Nura fell on the floor. We went downstairs to check who was coming.
"Who is that? Why is your house suddenly so quiet?" mia asked who was observing the surroundings of the room.
"You said your grandmother was home?" Nura spoke up.
I didn't answer their questions. I went to my grandmother's room and it turned out that my grandmother wasn't there. Mbok Min who used to take care of my grandmother was also absent.
What's the matter? Why are they all disappearing?
I checked the whole room but there was no one at home. The bell rings again. This time I ran to the door to check on her. My friends are still under the stairs. Their hands held each other without them noticing. For some reason, the atmosphere of the house became scary.
I opened the locked front door. This is so weird. No one locked this house when someone was inside.
How can this door be locked! Who locked it? Does grandma? Or mbok Min?
I saw the faces of my friends who were so tense, I didn't know what they were thinking, but I didn't want them to be frightened by these suddenly absurd things.
I tried to put aside my negative thoughts and refocus on the door. When the door opened, I was surprised that my grandmother was in front of me.
The grandmother who saw me was surprised to be astonished, "What's wrong with your face?" Grandma kept looking at me as I passed by. My friends behind me also feel relieved because they are not ghosts, but humans. "You look like you're just seeing a ghost?"
I'm confused what to say. Because we thought that grandma was a ghost.
"Grandma's outside? Since when? Not ... Grandma was ... Is it in the room?"
"Whatchu mean? Ever since you walked into that room, grandma came out with Mbok Min, because there was an emergency meeting in the village."
I looked at my friend behind me. Was it all that time we were in the room?
"Don't you just say your grandmother's inside?" asked Yua while whispering. Mia and Nura came closer.
"I'm so sure I heard her voice in the room, I thought she was taking a break, so I didn't go into her room, just spoke from the outside when I told her you were coming. Mbok Min is the one who helped me prepare snacks and drinks for you. You saw it for yourself, right?" I saw the tense faces of my friends. We look at each other.
We saw that the drinks and snacks on the table were no longer there, my mouth was gaping, but I immediately came to my senses and closed my mouth with my hands. However, my surprise could not be lost, nor could my friends. They immediately shuddered in horror. "Where were the drinks and food?"
"What are you talking about?" ask Grandma. He was amazed by our fear attitude.
"When did grandma come out? Why don't I know? And why is the door locked? As I recall, I didn't lock it earlier."
"Grandmother came out when you went upstairs, because there was no sound, grandma thought you were sleeping. So, grandma just lock the door from the outside, so no one comes in to disturb you, but grandma forgets, where grandma put the key, so grandma rings the bell!"
"Huh?" me and the others were shocked to hear Grandma's explanation just now.
