Room No.11B
Part. 119

Mas Gun walked into the room, his face depicting anxiety. I am still confused too. Who unlocks the key when there is no key in the hole?

We decided to sit down in front of the room. Mas Gun's friend came home, he was only intended to take Mas Gun back to the boarding house. I made two cups of coffee. Mas Gun sat leaning against the wall, his face staring at the bright daytime sky. The wind seemed to be stingy, not even a little bit it did not blow this afternoon. Adding to the hotter weather.

"Why two days at your house?" ask Mas Gun.

I sat down and put the coffee cup.

"Di!" Mas Gun rebuked me.

"What mas?" I asked who didn't bother with the question.

"I asked you that."

"Ask what?" sahutku.

"Why did you spend two days at your house?" ask Mas Gun.

"Hahaahaha. Two days? Joking around with mas. I left yesterday afternoon." I replied.

Gun shook his head.

"Lho, why mas?" my many.

"Did you not see the calendar? What day do you think it is?" ask Gun again.

"Wednesday right?" i'm making sure.

"It's Adi's Thursday." replied Mas Gun.

Thursday?

"Ngaco aja lo mas. Is it thursday now? Obviously it's Wednesday." I refute.

"Hehehehe. Take a look at the calendar in hape lo!" tell Mas Gun, he chuckles.

I took my phone out of my pants pocket.

"Aaahh, hape I die mas. Lowbat." I said.

Mas Gun picks up his phone, showing the date and day on his phone screen. Huh huh? Right, today's Thursday.

"Where? Still say it's Wednesday?" ledek Mas Gun's.

I'm silent for a moment.

"Ah, don't believe me. Let me ask the Kokom Tea Stalls all I want to buy ice." I said.

"Hehehehehe. There tanya! I'm nitip all cigarettes." said Mas Gun.

I went to a Kokom Tea shop near Mas Gun's boarding house. Buy cold drinks and cigarettes for Mas Gun.

"This is the change of deck" said Teh Kokom while handing me some money.

"Thank you tea. Oh, tea, ask."

"Ask what deck?" kokom Tea.

"Now what day is tea?" my many.

"Day kemis deck. Why why?" answer Kokom Tea.

Thursday? Kokom tea said today Thursday. Mas Gun time of intention to pranking me up kongkalikong with Kokom Tea, it feels impossible. Let me ask the fried sellers who go near the kelolan deh. I'm still not sure it's Thursday.

"Mas, the grumpy fry ya." I said while handing over a piece of money with a picture of the KH hero. Idham Kholid's.

"What is it?" ask the fry seller.

I appointed five kinds of fried foods, the seller stuffed fried food in paper wrap, ended with a secomot of green cayenne pepper.

"Mas, what day is it today?" my many.

"Wanna play a quiz?" sahut the fried seller.

A quiz?

"No, I really want to ask you for the day" I replied.

"aaahhhhhhhhh. Question time day anyway? This is a surprise money event, right? Where's the camera?" the fry seller responded.

"What's the way of surprised money? I really just want to ask you for a day." I reply.

"Don't lie to me. There must be a hidden camera. Where's camera? That house, right?" greet the fry seller while waving his hand towards the front house.

Mangkel, I left him without saying thank you. You weird fry salesman. I also did not get an answer to what day it was.

I walked home to Mas Gun's boarding house. Near the Kokom Tea Stall I met with three female students, I also ventured to ask them.

"Excuse me brother. May ask?" I scolded the three students.

They stopped his steps.

"You ask what brother?" asked a female student in a cream hood.

"What day is it today?" my many.

"Iiihhh big brother wants a dreadlocks?" another student in a pink hooded.

"No, I swear. I just want to ask you a day." I reply.

"Thursday sister." replied the beige veil.

"Ooh Thursday." I muttered. "Yes, thank you, brother." I continued.

They laughed and left me who was still standing. That's right, today is Thursday. I walked home with a myriad of questions filling my brain. Why is it Thursday? And I went to the house of Judah on Tuesday afternoon, and went to another realm on Tuesday night at about ten. How could I have gone through one day? In nature, we did not get one day, just a few hours.

"Where? Got an answer today what day?" ask Mas Gun as soon as I get to the hostel.

I sat in front of him.

"What day is it now?" ledek Mas Gun while grimacing.

"Thursday mas. Yes, today is Thursday." I replied. I shifted my seat, to the side of Mas Gun, leaning against the wall while staring at the haughty daytime sky.

"Can you?" i muttered.

"Can what?" ask Mas Gun. "Why did you forget the day? Unemployment is not, the time to forget the day. Hehehehehe." added Mas Gun.

"What else is going on?" ask Mas Gun.

I turned towards Mas Gun, his mouth was chewing on a piece of bakwan. His right hand held the bakwan, his left hand clutching a cigarette.

"Why? Any more problems?" Mas Gun guessing.

I'm nodding.

Mas Gun grinning the horse.

"Don't want a story?" said Mas Gun.

I finally told you what happened that day. Starting from the possessed Yuda, until I moved in with Tika and Grandpa Badrun to save Yuda. Not to forget I told you about Kanjeng Ratu Sekar Dara, also my fight with red kuntilanak when we want to return to the world.

Mas Gun was silent without interrupting. He seemed amazed at my story.

"Di, is this a true story of the same thing you?" ask Mas Gun as if in disbelief.

"Yes, I lied to you. I'm not the writer who makes the story cool." I reply.

"Transfer real nature In?" ask Gun again.

"Yes mas. Take off the name." I replied.

"Ckck." Mas Gun clucked. "My curiosity, what it's like to see your own body, keep flying around. So please. Hehehehe."

"When do you see that grandpa again? I want dong to take off his body." asked Mas Gun.

"What do you do to take off your body? I don't want to anymore. Enough once, not again." I said.

"Eh, so not moving with me?" my many.

"So dong. In the afternoon, yes. Hot afternoon At, my skin will be black again. Hehehehehehe." joked Mas Gun.

"They're ae mas!" I said, then took a piece of tofu.

* * *

In the afternoon after the Ashar prayer, Mas Gun and I prepared to bring Mas Gun's belongings. The Mas Gun motor has been turned on, the sound of the motor exhaust is pouting and not comfortable. I was carrying a big bag, and a small suitcase was placed in front, right under Mas Gun's feet.

"I used to transfer when I said I wanted to go on Hajj because my suitcase was big. Lha what is this? You want to go up the mountain?" ledek.

"Hehehehe. Yes understand Diii, I will go first. So if my stuff is much to be understood." Mas Gun is flinching.

"Halaaahh, ngeles aja lo mas. Walk on!" take me.

We also went to Kost Pak Thamrin, the motor drove casually. The afternoon sun ushered in, its golden light marked that soon the sky would be dark, and the haughty sun in place of the moon.

Not much of a conversation I had with Mas Gun on the bike. He again joked to feel the release of his body, to the point of being curious more than anything. I just grinned not too much to respond to his wishes.

When we arrived at the boarding gate, I helped open the gate, then the motorbike went inside and parked right in front of Nek Iyah's house.

"In the meantime, I have to see my mother first." I said.

Mas Gun just nodded and sat on his bike.

"Assynolajet. Nek Iyah." I knocked on the door of the house quietly and said hello.

There was no response from Nek Iyah.

Tok tok tok.

"Assynualaiuum. Nek Iyaahh." My voice is a little louder.

But there was no answer from Nek Iyah either.

"Di, I'll be here again. We clean up first." take Mas Gun.

Right also, after finishing just back to the house of Nek Iyah. I have not opened a conversation with Nek Iyah about Mas Gun will stay at the boarding house with me. But I'm sure Nek Iyah must have given permission, at most just paying some extra money.

"Okay, I'll just come back here again." I also agree Mas Gun's invitation.

Mas Gun turned on the engine motor, the sound of a cramp was again heard from the exhaust. I took a swing to get on the bike. Lifting feet.

"Son Adi!"

I was surprised when someone called me.

Grandpa Iyah!

I'm down for a motorbike ride. Nek Iyah's head only looked slightly from inside his house, the door of his house was half open. I also approached Nek Iyah. Nek Iyah's face was faintly visible, not very clear. Now his head goes back inside. The door to the house is still open not too wide.

"Nek Iyah, I want permission" I said from outside.

"What permission does Adi need?" nek Iyah's voice sounded hoarse.

"My brother will stay with me at this hostel. If you can tell, how much does it cost?" my many.

"Come in first, son." tell Nek Iyah.

I, who was not suspicious at all, opened the door of Nek Iyah's house wide. I stepped inside. The room was dark, not a single speck of light came in. It's pitch-dark. Outside is still light.

"Miss. Nek Iyah." call me slow.

Nek Iyah did not answer. The engine of Mas Gun I heard stopped. I did not take another step, just a step into the house of Nek Iyah.

"Nek Iyah's. Grandma where's grandma?" call me again.

"Grandmother hereii Nak Adii." her voice was a bit moaning.

I just stood still.

"Here Nak Adii. Hereii." call Nek Iyah.

"This is the same neneekk. Here Nak Adii." his voice whimpering and wailing.

What calls me this is really Nek Iyah?
