My heart was pounding, hearing Judah mention a familiar name in my ear. Badriya. The name that became the beginning of the disaster in the series of all problems that occurred in the boarding house. The name that destroyed the household of Mr. Thamrin and his wife, Nyai Asih. The name that makes the existence of red kuntilanak a frightening specter at the Pak Thamrin boarding house. And the name responsible for the death of my friend Bagas.
Somehow how to defeat the power of the red kuntilanak and Nek Iyah? I don't know how. In fact, until now I have not seen the form of Nek Iyah after the incident at the house of Judah some time ago. Kang Ujang said that Nek Iyah was going for treatment. Cih, what kind of reason is that? I'm sure he's healing his wound with that red shot somewhere. To re-establish their evil plan. Clearly, I must remain vigilant and always surrender to the Almighty.
"A. Adi's. How are you quiet anyway? Why?" judah Tegur.
Yuda broke my daydream.
"Eh. It's nothing." I replied.
"Who is Badriyah? You know Badriyah?" ask Yuda in a soft voice.
How'this? Should I tell Judah who Nek Iyah really was? I kept quiet, not answering Yuda's question.
"Eh Da, my coffee's gone! I want a quick message, what do you want to drink again?" I got up from my seat and was about to head for the wagon where Bang Dede made the customer's order.
Grep. Suddenly Yuda grabbed my hand, holding me back from going inside. He looked at me inside.
"Who is Badriyah Di?" ask Yuda. His face turned serious.
"Did the old man who helped me yesterday know Badriyah?" Yudah asked again.
"What does this have to do with Bagas' death?" Yudah asked again.
"Does this have anything to do with your necklace?"
I took off the grip of Judah's hand, and sat back down.
"Silent Da. I'll tell you everything. Badriyah, the old man who helped you, Bagas' death, and all the mystical events you experienced" I replied.
"Gue tell me everything I know. But there are conditions." I continued.
"Condition? Just use the terms of everything in." said Yuda.
"Do you want to tell me a story?" press me.
"Yes. What condition?" ask Yuda.
"OKAY. The conditions are only one. As soon as I tell you everything, and you know who's behind all this. You have to promise me that I will remain ordinary, not provoked by emotions, what else until there is an intention to take revenge on that person. Deal?" my word.
Judah was silent, he thought. His eyes glared upwards.
"Deal?" I reached out and asked her hand out.
Yuda looked at me.
"Why should I be ordinary? Why can't I take revenge for what he did to me? Why Di? I almost died because of that guy, you almost died, we all almost died. Why should I be ordinary? Huh uh?" Yuda strapped me with questions.
I looked at Yuda inside.
"Because you are no match for him." I replied.
"Lo can't do anything to him Da, that person isn't an ordinary human being. That man was like a queen, and all of his people were demits you saw back then. You can not ask for help with your friends who are good, you can not ask for help with Bang Tomi the leader of the thugs troublemakers. Can't Da." I continued.
Yuda seemed silent. His eyes looked at the empty glass in front of him.
"No deal?" I reached out my hand back.
Tep. Judah extended his hand, and we shook hands.
"Deal!" said loud.
"Wuuihh, what the hell? There's a word deal all, again what business are you two?" Bang Dede suddenly came. He sat down to join me and Judah.
"Hahaahaha. Nothing bang, I'm the same Adi just betting the ball. Champions League!" said Yuda origin.
"What kind of a bet? Guess score? Follow my dong!" Bang Dede quickly spoke.
"Later tonight will be my hero who plays, Liverpool tuh! Lo Liverpool fans are also Da?" ask Bang Dede.
"Obviously it's bang! You'll never walk alone!" reply Yuda while raising his hand and pointing his index finger up.
"Hahaahaha. Saucy! Lo emang ma brader Da!" Bang Dede got up from his seat and took Yuda tos. Judah also welcomed the tos.
The conversation has changed since Bang Dede joined us. Discussing about the English League, Liverpool, Champions League, until the star player who was hit by a red card in the last game. I just listen and pay attention to them, occasionally join the buzz and comment. It's not that I don't like football, it's just that I'm a fan of the players, not a fan of the club. Turns out Yuda is a Liverpool fan too, and I just found out. More and more klop meet with Bang Dede.
Four students came to the store. They came with laughter and jokes, many. Bang Dede greeted them kindly. This afternoon, the store was quite crowded with visitors. The four students came in and sat inside.
"Eh, I'll stay a while. The money!" bang Dede said, then passed away leaving us. He went inside, greeting the four students.
"In, I think we should move somewhere" said Yuda.
"Yes. I know what you're thinking. Free Da, where are you going?" my reply.
"Pull it out of here, we'll find a coffee place across the campus. I think there are many too." said Yuda.
"I'll pay you first." Judah got up from his seat, he was about to go to the cashier.
"Da, here's money to pay for my coffee!" I gave you a piece of twenty thousand bills.
"What? Money does not sell in. Hehehehehehe." Judah replied in jest, then he gawked in.
I burned cigarettes, saw the crowds. Students then go looking for food. There are also busy photo copy. The side streets of the campus are the economic center. Not only food tents and food stalls, many photo copy workers, laundry kiloan, boarding houses, beverage vendors, and many more.
"Daddy!" call someone. I looked towards the sound.
A mercy? The smart boy.
"Woi Mat! Here Mat!" call me to Grace.
Grace came to me. He also sat.
"What's wrong with Di?" ask Grace.
"From perpus. Where's yuda?"
"In the tuh, again pay. We're going to pull it out." I replied.
"Eh Di, when do you have time to help make a paper?" Grace asks.
"Free Mat, if the time I avail continues. Just call me."
"Ooh. Steady. Means always standby yes." said Grace.
"Standby dong." I reply.
Yuda finished paying, "Lho, there's lo Mat. When's that?" ask Yuda.
"Just got to Da. So do you guys make coffee here a lot?" ask Grace.
"It's not often, it's a coincidence. Why did you just come? I'm the same Yuda already want to unplug, try from earlier, can join menggopi Mat." said Yuda.
I chimed in, "Yes, try that."
"Look down, I want to go home too. Yaudah if you guys want to unplug, I'll pull it too!" Rahmat said.
I also moved from my seat.
"I'll tell you later" said Rahmat.
"Okay Mat."
"Gue first!" say mercy and leave us.
"Okay, watch out Matt!" said Yuda.
Yuda and I left the One Way Coffee Shop. We headed across the campus. Across campus was a favorite of students to find food and hangout, because there are also many food stalls. It is on the street next to the big mosque.
Yuda stops his motorbike right in front of a coffee shop named, Ngopi Yo. It's small, not too big. On the outside there is a long table with a high chair, like in a bar. The lights are orens in color, the bejibun decorate the store. We also went inside. The inside looks minimalist with a fairly attractive decor. The green effect felt so deep into the store. Many potted plants, on the table, some were hung on the wall, there was also a large pot in the corner of the shop. The wall paint is light gray, many photo frames are attached to the wall. The table and chair are short. And the coffee cart is not as big as Bang Dede's, it's black and looks kinclong. Everything looks minimalist.
"Soor brother!" said a woman. "Lho! Adi, Yuda!"
"Eh, Brother Nia!" my reply.
Brother Nia, Bang Dede's partner at the One Way Coffee Shop.
"Can I meet you here anyway? Why are you two here?" ask Sister Nia.
We shook hands with Sister Nia, her face looked bright to see me and Judah came.
"Gue's here to wash my clothes!" said Yuda origin.
"Maha." Brother Nia is broken.
"Yes want to coffee dong if you come here." continued Yuda.
We also sat in the inner room. Unlike in One Direction, there is no air-conditioned space. Inside and outside rooms are allowed to smoke. Sister Nia sat down with us.
"Don't go to One Way of Writing?" ask Sister Nia.
"It's over from there, brother. I'm just like Yuda there's serious chatter, so it takes a little privacy. You know what Bang Dede is. Go find another place to coffee." I replied.
"Ooohh, yes. Hahaahaha. I understand, I understand. Yes, that's Dede. So, what do you want to do?" said Brother Nia.
"Betewe, where you're cool too brother. The decor is very minimalist, the eyes are also fresh because there are many plants in the store" said Yuda.
"So the budget is minimal, so make it minimalist. Mini throng! Bench same table mini. Aye! Hahahahaha." said Brother Nia.
"Gue order coffee milk sugar aren't you! A fresh pengin." I said.
"Lo what Da?" ask Nia to Yuda.
"Attent." Judah looked at the large whiteboard attached to the wall, there was a menu that was provided.
"What is a booster?" ask Yuda.
"Oh that mango juice mixed with milk, continue to be added yokult. You know yokult, right?" kak Nia.
"Dine. I ordered that! It must be fresher." Yuda ordered.
"Okay a minute." replied Brother Nia. Sister Nia headed for her wagon and made our order.
Yuda whispered to me, "Di, this is the address you can't tell me anymore. Surely Kak Nia joined in chatting with us."
I chuckle.
"Kak Nia is different from Bang Dede. See you later." I'll reply.
Not long after our order arrived, Brother Nia delivered.
"Lo alone brother?" my many.
"Himself. You're still crawling, can't pay employees. It's cool by itself too." he replied.
"Well, you both need privacy to chat, I don't join nimbrung ya. Please enjoy!" said Brother Nia.
Me and Yuda glanced at each other, then smiled.
"OKo brother. Sorry, yeah." I said.
"Casual At. Uh, if anyone doesn't tell me that much."
"Belg!" I answered while raising my thumb.
