My boyfriend's a Vampire
Episode 143: A Warning That Makes a Muddle
At midnight they just got to the boarding house. Maya drops her backpack on the doorstep. A dark sky with small stars scattered across the sky, the cold night air pierced the bones. All the residents of the boarding house have collapsed in their respective contest, the surrounding houses seem deserted, leaving the sound of crickets that sounded on the sidelines of the grass. The girl placed her backpack on the iron chair located on the terrace, just to the right of the entrance. While Ryan just locked the car door and walked into the courtyard of the boarding house.
“Tok..Tok...Tok..”.
No word from behind the door, the girl twisted the end of her shirt while pensively at the door.
“Not opened yet? Tomorrow night we take a plane to Jakarta,May.”
“Nanggung..I should not bother going back to the boarding house like this,”sahut Maya while leaning her back on the wall .
Ryan shrugged his shoulders,”As for you anyway. Maybe you want to get some other clothes.”
“Czech...”
The sound of a key child being opened, art sticking out his neck and his head popping out of the door, his hair disheveled and his eyes narrowed. The art was wearing a patterned negligee of green leaves that had been used.
“Oh..Mbak Maya. Please come in,”sapa the art.
“Sorry overnight,Mbak. All right, go to mom kos. Tomorrow I want to go back to Jakarta,”ucap Maya while lifting her backpack.
“I'm back first,May.”
“Be careful. It was night. Dark streets,”saran Maya while standing in front of the door.
“Be careful, Den. Afraid there begal midnight,”nesehat art with a serious face.
“Yang really,Mbak? There is a begal in Java?”ryan asked with raised eyebrows.
“Iya..Denger-denger from people in the market anyway,”sahut art while raising his negligent slightly sagging due to greatness.
“Judah. I'll walk first, May. Tomorrow afternoon I'll pick you up here, '' Ryan said, turning around.
Maya releases her lover while waving her hand.
“Hehehehe...Thank you,Mbak. But how much really?”
Maya just laughed and refused to tell the real thing that happened. He was afraid of the art of prejudice.
“Oh yes...Mbak not homecoming during Lebaran?”
“Neg. Abis kasian same mother. She has no children, husband has died, children are also not there,”sahut art with a clear face.
“Judah. Take good care of Ms. Laksmi. This is a little money to buy a shirt,”ucap Maya while removing three sheets of red paper money.
“Wah..Many actually. Thank you, Mbak. I already bought , this one to save can?”ask the art with sparkling eyes.
“Bby..can...”.
Maya laughs at the art's innocence, then walks towards her room located on the second floor.
Maya climbed the stairs, the atmosphere of the boarding house began to be quiet because some residents had gone home. Just a squeaking sound of exhausted electric tokens from the lower room, the sound was similar to an alarm clock. Wulan's room next to her also looked dark, the sandals that were usually located in front of the door were now out of place. It was a sign that the girl had gone home, returned to her parents' house to celebrate Eid. Maya is now orphaned, her uncles and aunts are far out of town and they are busy with their extended family. Maya can only congratulate Lebaran through a message on her whatsapp. The girl can only celebrate Lebaran with Ryan and her future in-laws in Jakarta.
“Syukuri by all. Mama and papa are also now happy together in Heaven,”batinnya while shedding tears.
“Czech...”
The door opened, all the items in his room still looked neat as usual, the villagers behind him were also silent.
The girl cleaned herself and prepared to go to bed, so that tomorrow morning she could prepare her suitcase to go to the airport.
Maya pulls the blanket to sleep, suddenly a nighttime phone ring makes her wake up.
“Ryan? What's up with him? Don't-don't meet me on the road?”
The warning from the art made him moody.
