Amethys Village
They reached the village gate. The place where Abi lived and grew up. Ellea did not know where to go after returning to Indonesia, because her house was sold when her mother was very sick. While Vin, who is an overseas person also has no permanent residence. Moreover, Allea, who in fact is a foreign citizen, this is a new place for him.
They arrived at the village gate, waiting for transportation that would take them to the cafe. Well, Abi misses "Cafe Panca sona." Missed his two uncles, and all the corners of the place and the aroma of his favorite coffee. Of course the barista table was the first place he wanted to visit.
"What are we doing?" ask Vin. The sky is starting to twilight. A red squash was seen above them. Beautiful and awesome. Twilight is synonymous with calmness and makes people enjoy it in their relaxed time. Like now. Allea's condition has improved, although his face looks not completely fresh and his body is still limp because all the contents of his stomach he vomited earlier.
Abi reached into the pocket of his pants, removing a flat object that he rarely used. He doesn't even know if the power on his phone is still enough to make a phone call right now. He's too busy. Well, that's the only excuse he could use if his two uncles nagged later. At least Abi has a suspenseful story that he will share for them.
"Hello, Adi's uncle."
"...."
"Eum, sorry, I'll tell you later. Uncle again what? Can you go to the village gate?"
"...."
"I'm home."
"...."
"I brought Vin, Ellea and Allea, so take the car, yeah."
"...."
"The food's here. I'm going to tonight, right?"
"...."
Abhimanyu put the flat object back in his pants pocket. "In a moment," he said glancing at Vin who was already impatient to leave this place immediately. He was worried about Allea who was still weak. Of course he was more alert around. Don't let this happen again. Even until they arrive in Indonesia the terror continues to follow.
"Bi ... If we are still followed by them, how about Faizal? Is she okay?" vin whispered, deliberately so that the two girls near them did not hear it.
"Hm, that's also what I thought. When we get home, we call him. Well, I hope he's all right."
After waiting for a few minutes, a Dodge Coronet – R/T Convertible car stopped at the bus stop, right in front of those who were waiting for an invitation from Adi and Gio. This classic car made in the 1970s there are only 2 in the world, and one of them is owned by Adi. He likes classical and ancient things. And this is his favorite car.
"Need a ride?" ask a man with a thin sideburn behind his wheel. The two men who were still standing on the side of the road with the two girls behind him smiled. "Hi, Vin. Long time no see."
"Hi, Om. Even more handsome," said Vin opened the back door of the car. Let the girls in first. Abhimanyu, of course, sat beside the steering wheel.
"You're alive, young man?" ask Adi basa stale. Realizing the question meant sarcasm, Abhimanyu simply pulled the corner of his lips.
"Huh, I miss you guys, Uncle."
"Curtain, disgusting."
The car turned around, and left the village gate towards the Abhimanyu residence. A few months passed, not much changed from his village. Not infrequently he pulled his lips when he saw the beauty of his village. Greet the people who accidentally met them.
Adi took the time to greet Ellea, and also Allea. He is shocked to learn that Ellea has a twin. And really unexpected when they heard their sad story in Venice there.
"Oh, so because of this, you didn't reply to all my messages, Bi?!" adi asked, glancing at the young man beside her.
The person asked, did not immediately answer, scratching his head which was clearly not itchy. Looking for a better answer to hear, although Adi certainly knows that mang is a strong reason. "Sorry, Uncle. Never mind replying to a message, just eat it I often forget. Good thing Ellea met quickly, she's the one who often reminds me to eat."
"Yes ... Yes ... Yes ... It's been. Its nothing. The important thing is that you're all right" Adi said, taking a deep breath.
The car goes into the spacious courtyard opposite the Pancasona cafe. This place has indeed been rented for a parking lot that is getting narrower, because cafe visitors begin to get crowded every day. Tourist areas in the village of Amethys began to be visited by many tourists. Of course, making this cafe gets many benefits.
"Welcome home" Adi said after getting out of his car. Staring at the old building they had conjured up became more slick and interesting. After Abhimanyu left, there were some changes. The outdoor atmosphere is increasingly cultivated. In addition there are chairs and tables with unique carvings, now there are umbrellas on each table outside. Protects from the heat of the sun and rain. Tumbler light curtains are in each circle of the table, and will look beautiful at night. Some trees are also deliberately decorated with colorful lights that begin to be lit when they arrive. In a few minutes the sky will be dark. The atmosphere outside the cafe began to be quiet, because the afternoon is a bad time to roam outside the house. Still conservative and many legends and village rules that remain obeyed until now.
Some of the young men were seen wearing typical cafe uniforms. They are new employees who are deliberately recruited by Adi and Gio because they are increasingly overwhelmed by taking care of the cafe alone. "Since you left, I'm the same Gio had to find a new employee. The cafe is getting crowded," explained Adi when he saw the face of Abhimanyu who felt unfamiliar with some new people, who were inside. Abhimanyu just nodded in response, realizing that it should have been done. Several times their cafe experienced the installation of employees. Especially since the case of Ridwan yesterday, the cafe is often closed because of lack of employees.
Gio who was busy was at the barista table, turned his head when his guest came. "Wohoo! There are far away guests!" he said with the spirit of 45 tos with Vin who entered first. "healthy, Vin? Get more muscle tight," said Gio as he squeezed Vin's arm with muscles that poked surging.
"healthy! Om how? More eccentric," said Vin who saw Gio's appearance remains cool even though he is no longer young.
"This is my style you know?" Gio glanced at the young man behind Vin. Your face looks unfriendly. He clenched his right hand and prepared to punch the man. "You! Just worry!" gio said, annoyed. But soon he pulled the hand of Abhimanyu who was seen trying to cover his face, preparing for an attack from his uncle.
They hugged each other tightly. Well. Naturally, they had not met for several months, and neither Gio nor Adi knew the news of his nephew.
"Sorry, uncle. But I came home safe, right? And look! I brought Ellea too ... Allea!" abi pointed at the two women behind him. Gio seems to gawk for a while, until Adi throws him with a car key that he still holds.
"Your face is ordinary, Gi! You woe!" sindir Adi who snarled into the toilet.
"God! My face is normal, Di. Is there two? Which ellea is it?" gio asked pointing at the two girls, they were both smiling looking at the reaction of the man with the cowboy hat in front of them.
"Well guess which one?" ask Ellea. Gio immediately smiled and pointed, "Definitely you! Holy jeez!" both his hands widened to the side preparing to welcome the embrace of his nephew's future wife. Ellea immediately hugged Gio, because she was very longing.
"Om how are you?"
"Know, Om. Name's Allea. We met in Venice. And I didn't know I had a twin, either" said Ellea, opening a space for the two to get to know each other.
"Thus ... What's in Venice? To the extent that Abi didn't answer our phone didn't even reply to our message!" sindir Gio while glancing at the young man. Abi who felt talked about immediately went to the toilet.
"The whole story, Om."
"Om has some spare time," said Gio glancing at his wrist watch. "Fandy! Watch cashier!" They walked to choose a table inside the cafe because it was getting dark outside.
_______
"And now we're being chased by people, Om. They wanted this flash disk and our death, of course," Ellea said seriously.
"We are confused about what else to do. It's not safe there, it's here either" Vin added.
"Hey, young man! Don't underestimate us! We're no longer as young as you!" hatch Gio.
"Gio bener's. Good that you guys are home. At least we can fight them together. This is not new anymore, is it, Gi?!"
"Thus. By the way, we old men also need refreshment, muscles can be stiff if only lift the coffee tray," said Adi showed his arms are not bad. Well, almost as much as Vin's.
"Hey, don't you want to go home?" abhimanyu asked them all.
"Oh my God, finally! I can feel the sleep on a soft mattress," Vin said as he spread out his hands.
The cafe began to be cleaned. Abhimanyu as the owner has returned, he gave a meeting tonight, as an introduction and a late welcome from him. It's 21:00 and they have to go home. Your body is tired, it also needs rest.
The journey home does not take long. The renovated building is now visible in front of them. Indeed the house in this area is only one, belonging to Abi. Another house was several miles from his. He and his parents loved to stay away from the crowds.
"Waw, your house is getting better, Bi. In renov?" vin asked as soon as he reached the terrace, seeing many changes in this building. Still the same, but the paint is new, and there are a few other additions visible from the face of the door. Well, this building looks taller.
"Yes, because of the fire."
"Welcome home" said Gio, opening the door and letting his guests in.
"Allea, consider it at home, yes," said Adi who saw the girl was a lot of silence. Maybe because of the new environment or because his body is not yet fully healthy. Maybe both.
The third floor was deliberately Adi and Gio made. They made several other rooms, which were deliberately made into rooms.
"Really, right? My idea? We need a lot of rooms in this house" said Adi proud of his work.
"So you guys made it upstairs?" abi asked with a careless look pointing upwards.
"Who aren't you picking up our phone? We called the reason for that too. Uh, Ellea's with Allea, yuk, let's see your room!" invite Gio to take the two girls. Abi just shook his head, resigned.
"There rest!" have Adi the three lock the door and check the window.
Vin and Abi nodded in agreement. They also feel very tired.
The window began to close, the curtain was pulled until it covered all the glass on the lower floor. He was happy, because this house came back like home. It is not just two humans. But now, many. Until the moment Adi pulled the last curtain, at a glance he saw there was a black shadow outside. Hiding behind the trees.
Abi's forehead is wrinkled. He closed his eyes and kept staring at the corner. Feeling that something was wrong, he stepped out. And re-open the front door. Adi swept a glance around, there was only a breeze of the night wind that was getting louder. He picked up his cell phone, turned on the light to look at the dark corner. Silent. There was only the sound of the night animals that he had heard all this time. Adi and Gio often sit on the terrace while enjoying a cup of coffee in the middle of the night. They are fearless of anything. Maybe because they've been through the most horrible days of their lives all this time.
Feeling that tonight feels different, strange, and not as usual, Adi again stepped outside. "Hello?" said again. Slowly but surely, he continued to walk closer. With flashlight as the path light.
The sound of a loud noise rang out, some birds were even seen flying as he approached the forest near the house. He stopped, looking back, precisely at the only house in this place. He hesitated to continue, but felt something strange there.
Adi shrugged his shoulders, and went back deeper into the forest. "Who's there?" he shouted while remaining vigilant.
Adi began to sharpen his hearing. He heard strange sounds around him. Snarling sounds. He was not sure what he was hearing, until he continued to advance to one of the trees. Highlight the situation in the forest with rows of trees that make it lush. He continued to shine a light on the place looking for something that bothered him.
And sure enough, something moved quickly. A black shadow moved behind one tree to another. "Who is that?" jeremy Adi kept approaching. But the movement is getting faster. It was as if he was running away from Adi. It made this curious man actually chase after him. "Hey!" screams again.
The deeper he got confused. He felt lost because he was looking for that person. Suddenly someone patted her shoulder from behind. Until Adi was surprised. "God! Abhimanyu! Why are you here?!" peekik Adi panicked.
"Abi should have asked. What's uncle here?" ask while looking around them.
"Oh that, earlier, like there's someone peeping at our house. That's why I'm chasing. You are even ngusulin. Take it off!" gerutu Adi's.
"What really?" abi asked, beginning to worry. Did those people chase him all the way here?
"Yes, sure. That's the tree on the move. But, there was a strange sound," Adi explained trying to recall.
"What sound, Uncle?"
"Something. Snarling."
"Growled?"
Adi nodded confidently.
