at 02.00 am, El woke up feeling thirsty, his throat was dry.It was his habit to put a glass of drinks on his bedside table because he was always thirsty late at night.
still with his eyes closed and yawned, he groped his hands at the bedside table but found nothing but a sleeping lamp.
El rubbed his eyes and slowly opened them.
"oh yeah, forget me if this isn't home" he murmured
he saw to his side, his two friends were still sleeping soundly with a snoring sound coming out of Vino's mouth.
"the habit is indeed that sleep like snoring" El throbbed to see Vino
"so much thirsty"
El got out of bed turned on the lights because they were used to sleeping by turning off the lights.then he walked out of the room.The big mansion felt horror late at night, and then he walked out of the room, making El wary of himself would see the strange again.
"this is a house of graveyards, there are no lonely people"
El walked towards the kitchen, he already knew where the kitchen was because Zidan invited them to dinner which was not far from the kitchen.
maybe if it has not been shown he will be lost, the same when he was first in the house of Vino, to go to the bathroom alone he lost and instead went to the back garden.
quite far also to go to the kitchen.At arrival El immediately poured drinking water into a glass and gulped it.
after his throat had been hit by water, he had intended to return but the tail of his eyes saw a shake of shadow flashed beside him. El looked fast but there was no one there.
seeing nothing, he returned to the room, but a half shadow flashed again and this time he saw it.
"who's that...? Leo, Vino, is that you guys...?" shouts El and there is no affirmation
"uncle Zidan, is that uncle...?" again, no answer
he slowly stepped out to check but when he arrived there was no one there.
at once El's feelings began to be uncomfortable, he remembered the incident that happened to him while in the hospital.
his body felt cold, even he started to get nervous in fear.
he heard the sound of footsteps walking towards him.
El swallowed his saliva with difficulty, his heart beating began to irregularly.
the footsteps drew closer to him and stopped right behind him.
one hand held his left shoulder, cold as the ice that El felt.
El began to tense up, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.His eyes were fixed below and slightly glanced back and tail his eyes saw a pair of pale feet without touching the floor.
"kyaaaaaa"
El took a thousand steps.he ran at high speed even directly hit the door of the room they occupied.
he went inside and shut the door hard.
braaakkk
"hah.hah...safe...safety" El rubbed his chest.
he immediately jumped into the middle of his two friends who were still asleep and shuffled in the blanket.
in the morning after the dawn prayer, they get ready to go home, but of course they have to say goodbye to the host.
while they were waiting for Zidan to come down, El forgot something in the room.he forgot to take his phone which he had stored on the table.
"go to the dorm room" said El
"why would you...?" ask Leo
"my phone is missing" replied El
soon he returned to the room to pick up his phone because it was a very important item for him, not only himself but for everyone of course.
"where yes, the feeling last night was here" El was confused looking for his phone
"where the hell is the stuff"
El scratched his head because of the dizziness of his cellphone he did not find, but when he turned towards the table he saw the cellphone was stored beautifully on it.
"that's it, the feeling I've been looking up to the drawer but haven't met"
El took his phone, he rubbed his neck for goosebumps.
"it's a shame this big house but haunted"
El immediately came out of the room but his feet stepped on something down there.
"what the hell"
El took something under his feet, and it was a necklace.
"Airgantara"
wussshh... when he read the name on the necklace, the wind suddenly blows in the room.when the window is tightly closed, is not it strange that suddenly the wind blows inside.
out of fear, El immediately came out of the room still holding the necklace he found.
"just remember you're in there, really long" asked Vino
"i didn't see my phone" replied El
"keep...?" said Leo
"but now I've met uncle Zidan has not come down as well" said El
"those people" Vino pointed at Zidan with his eyes that were going down the stairs
Zidan approached the three of them.
"are you going home yet...?" ask Zidan
"yes uncle, we have to go to school" replied El
"then we have breakfast before you go" said Zidan
"thank you uncle, but we don't have to leave immediately because we are in a hurry later we are late" said Leo
"alright, be careful on the road.if there is time, sometime you play here" said Zidan
"good uncle, we go first"
they kissed Zidan's hand politely. Zidan felt touched, today there are still teenage children who respect the older ones.usually children today are morally lacking.
Zidan remembered Dirga who always did the same when going out.
"assalamualaikum" said the three of them
"wa alaikumsalam" replied Zidan
Zidan stared at the backs of the three children until they were nowhere to be seen again.
(where are you now, uncle hope you are okay) inner Zidan
by 7am, El, Vino and Leo had just arrived from school.
as punishment, they were told to clean the toilet and inevitably they had to do so.
"it's really bad we are today" said Vino
"elu the El, look for an old phone really. I think you've slept again in the room" continued Vino
"i'm sorry, after all uncle Zidan has not come down. There is no way we can play go so. don't know our luck" replied El
they closed the toilet door so that no one would come in while they were cleaning.
"to the other toilet, there's cleaning" Leo shouted as the toilet door was knocked
"El, you're inside...?" yell at someone
"let's go, Mak dampir tuh.wapain the heck" said Vino
"nyariin you tuh, open there. later it's raging again" said Leo to El
lazily El opened the door, Starla was already standing in front of him.
"to the other toilet, here again cleaned" said El
"it's too late, not usually" asked Starla
"elu came here just wanted that...?" El asked back
"gue wants to give you this" starla gave me a food box
"what the hell...?" El hasn't taken it yet
"this is my cake. You try it, it tastes good"
"La, you shouldn't have to give me all kinds of cake including this" said El
"why, you don't like the cake, yes, this is not using peanuts, I know you are allergic to peanuts" replied Starla
"if you don't want to, just make me" Vino took the box
"that's what El knows" Starla's upset
"but he did not want to, rather than mending mending for me alone" said Vino
"El hasn't answered yes or no. Besides El wants to, right El...?" starla looked at El expectantly
El-Syakir let out a long sigh, wanting to refuse but not feeling good because starla had already painstakingly made it for him.
"yes, I thank you" replied El
"do you want to accept, here and back give it to El" Starla smiled happily, she took back the box of cake and gave it to El
"keep on me...?" ask Vino
"bikin himself" replied ketus starla
"ck, stingy base" Vino grumbled
"oi...kalian even cool to chat, help me to meet" cried Leo from inside.
"yes I've gone first yes. don't forget the cake was eaten. bye bye" starla left them
El and Vino went back inside and locked the door.
"haaaah..so great I. aaa..aaa...aaa, my waist feels like it's going to break" Vino stretched his waist.
kraaaa....
"aaaaggghhhhh is very sick" Vino shouted as his waist rang
"haus nih, to the canteen yuk" asked El
"i'm also very thirsty" said Leo
as their task was done, they immediately washed their hands and walked out of the place.The moment Vino opened the door, he was surprised that Starla was already standing in front of them
"astaga nagaaaaa, startled me. You try to stand there" Vino stroked his chest
"gue brought this for you, you must be thirsty, right...?" starla showed me a drink on the grocery crackle
"woaaah really fit me again thirsty. tumben you good" Vino immediately took one drink from starla's hand
"go good, you're blind and you don't see my side" Starla gives El and Leo a drink
"thanks La" said Leo
"thank you" said El
"the cake won't be eaten...?" starla looked at El
"humm fits well. ayok eat, I'm hungry" said Vino
"find somewhere else, when you eat here" said El
"then come with me"
starla quickly flanks El' arm and they leave followed by Leo and Vino.
"it's cold here, isn't it...?" ask starla
they were under a thick shade tree, of course cool because the wind was gently blowing on their faces.
starla sat next to El. It was common for her about Starla's attitude towards him, and she was not bothered by it. The more she moved away from Starla the closer she got to him.
"can the cake be eaten now...?" ask Vino
"eat, I also buy food for you" Starla gave them rice packs
"why don't you want to...?" starla asked as Vino looked at her
Vino stared at starla with a probing gaze from the tip of her foot to the tip of her head. Starla immediately hugged her own body hiding her chest
"your eyes are horrified" said Starla
"ck...gue smelled a suspicious scent" said Vino staring intently at Starla.
"elu suspects me so...?" starla
"of course, you are suddenly good to us. I mean to me and also Leo. if El ya you are always good to him. is not that there is a shrimp behind the basket" Vino narrowed his eyes
"yes yes yes, I agree with Vino. there must be shrimp behind the bakwan" said Leo
"ck, you guys think I'm that cute. I don't have any intention, just want to get closer to you all even more so El" Starla leaned on El's shoulder
"huh, whatever you have. I want to eat, hungry me"
Vino opened the rice wrap and immediately devoured it, it seemed like he was starving because his energy was drained from cleaning the toilet.
Leo and El begin to eat, not only them but Starla also eats with them.
while eating, someone called Vino.
"Vinos"
they all turned their heads and it was Nisda. he approached them and stood beside Vino.
"gue looks for you everywhere and it turns out you're here" Nisda said
"yes, what's up...?" asked Vino, he stopped chewing his food
"they're dating...?" starla whispers in El's ear
"well" answered El quietly
"can we talk alone...?" ask Nisda
"certain"
Vino and Nisda go away from El, Leo and Starla while the three continue their meal.
after school El was very sleepy, he greeted Alana briefly in his room then went into his room and immediately dropped himself on the bed.
El was asleep in his sleep without changing his school uniform.In a semi-conscious state, he saw someone standing next to him and staring at him
