I continued to read the verse of the chair in my heart, while remaining calm and eyes closed. Tika's voice still sounded in my ear. I was breathing normally, the tightness in my chest was gone. But the verse of the chair I still chant in my heart.
I open my eyes slowly.
Alhamdulillah, lost. Pocong Bang Oji is missing. But my heart still beats.
"Adiiii!" Tika called my name incessantly. I went from my bed to the front room and opened the door.
Tika, with sweat drenching her forehead looked at me anxiously. My body's limp.
"Di, are you okay?" ask Tika.
I collapsed, fell down. Tika went into the room to take a glass of water and give it to me. A glass of water refreshes me.
"Di, Istighfar Di." said Tika.
"Tika. huh. Ma-thank you. Hah.huh." I gasped.
"Di, you're in Di incar. Lo wake you up in Incar?" Tika. "Lo is not a random person. You have a different aura, if they can get your soul, they are eternal Di. They are invincible." continued Tika in a soft voice.
"When I don't know what you mean." I replied weakly. "What do I need to do with Tika?" my many.
"Lo's mind don't be empty at. They're waiting for you to be weak." Tika lowered her voice.
I'm silent. I don't want all this to happen, I'm just a country boy who doesn't have anything special and that stands out to most people. What's so great about me? What is really inside me? The aura? Just seeing it I never, let alone to have a different aura. Kasih Aura? Pffftttt, bullshit.
"What time is Tik?" my many.
"Half four."
I was silent, sitting against the wall of the room.
"Is it because I'm boarding here, all of this is happening to me?" I muttered while looking up at the sky of the room.
Tika sat in front of me, she sighed.
"In, all have been arranged equal to the Almighty. Although sometimes according to our reason it seems impossible this is destiny, but that is destiny. Mate, death, fortune, it's all set. Even tonight we talk maybe it's the way." explained Tika.
"At."
"Yes." Yeah."
"Thank you." I said.
Tika smiled, sweet.
"Yes, you're the same" he replied. "In, I ordered the same lo. You must be strong, not weak. They have various ways to make you shake. Remember, humans are higher than them." continued Tika.
"Gue back to the room yes, not good night-night enter the room guys, later you get slandered again. Hehehe."
"Thank you so much Tika." I replied while throwing a smile.
Tika left me. I was still sitting leaning back, thinking about Tika's words. I must be strong, I must not be weak. They have different ways to weaken me.
All right, up to where your powers are damn creatures! Let's fight strong! Whether you or I lose, I encourage myself in my heart.
I wudhu and perform the tahajud prayer two rakaat. I pray to the Almighty to protect me at all times, wherever and whenever.

The afternoon after the lecture was over, I sat in the faculty garden, sitting on a long cement bench under a tree. Yuda didn't go to college today, where's that damn kid? Promise to give me back my necklace, not even going to college. My message was not answered either. I called not answering.
I'm back in class at 15:00, it's class until the afternoon. Judah did not come until the last lecture began. Jesus, I just remembered today he intended to take the car he had bought from Nek Iyah. Why can I forget? Today he was busy taking care of the antique car.
At 16:45 the last lecture of the day was completed.
Kriiiinngg. My phone's ringing, Yuda.
"Woi, where aren't you going to college?" my many.
"Today I was busy taking care of the car, this afternoon I went to the boarding house to take the car. Where's Di?"
"Still on campus, just out of college." I replied.
"This is in One Direction! Ngopi. I want to give something to you. Hehehehe." tell Judah.
"Wiiihh what the hell? So I wonder. Yaudah I walk to the tavern now." I replied then I ended the call.
I rushed to the coffee shop. My curiosity overcame my tiredness of studying today. What exactly does Yuda want to give? Ah shit, just make the rancid boy curious.
"Adiiii!" I looked, someone called me.
Tica.
"Eh Tika." I stopped my steps. Tika walked quickly to me.
"Have you been in college?" ask Tika.
"Udah. Do you run late in the afternoon too?" my many.
"Yes. Want to go back to kosan?"
"No, I want to coffee first. Come yuk!" I'm taking Tika.
"Copy? Where's?"
"Side campus, my coffee shop. Yuk!" take me.
Tika's silent.
"Asiiikkkpw. Don't you mean anything about my contract?"
"Nothing is."
"Not a pedekate, is it? Hehehehe." joked Tika.
"Hahaahaha. I have no intention of pedekate the same lo." I replied.
Me and Tika headed for the coffee shop.
Tika, a woman with white skin and a pair of dimples with a sweet smile. His two teeth look big. His height is the same as mine.
We arrived at the coffee shop, as usual Yuda took an outdoor table to be able to smoke. Bang Dede sat down with him.
"Who tuuuhhh? Hehehehehe." asked Judah.
"Replace her boyfriend again. Which one is Di?" added Bang Dede.
"Lo's both fuckin', this is my neighbor's boarding house called Tika. Tika sat Tik, maklumin my friend yes his mouth on a prank. This is my class Yuda. If it's an office boy in this coffee shop, Bang Dede. Hehehehe" I said introducing Yuda and Bang Dede to Tika.
"Haha. Hello there. Tika's." Tika shaking hands with Yuda and Bang Dede.
Tika sat next to me.
"Tik, what message do you want? The menu is on the board above the wall." point me to the wall directly above the coffee cart.
"Emm, iced tea is sweet." said Tika.
"Yaaaahhh, sweet iced tea. Neng, this is a coffee shop when you order sweet iced tea. Go to the Warkop! Haha." Bang Dede mocked Tika.
"Haha. What is the difference between coffee shops and wine if you sell sweet iced tea as well. You should just delete the iced tea menu sweet bang." said Tika.
"Yes, yes, so are you. Hehehehehe." said Bang Dede.
Then Tika ordered ice chocolate and toast and I ordered iced milk coffee. Bang Dede made our order. Sister Nia always sat behind the cashier table, she waved her hand to rebuke me and threw a smile.
"Da, you want to give me something what the hell?" I asked as if I was impatient.
"Later dong, wait for your drink to come first. Drink first, let's relax, let's relax. Hehehehe." replied Yuda.
Before long, my drink and Tika's order came. I sucked up quickly.
"Well, I've been drinking. Now what the hell would you love for me?" I charge, Tika just smiles looking at me and Yuda.
"Tika, sorry yes in cuekin for a while" said Yuda flirtatiously to Tika.
"Hehehehe. It's okay." replied Tika.
Yuda took his bag, opened it and reached into something, then took out a brown envelope.
"Create lo!" Yuda put the brown envelope on the table. The envelope is not too big, a little thick bloated.
"What's this?" I took the envelope. Its shape and size are similar to money. Thick enough.
I opened the envelope. Right, money. And pretty much.
"What's this money for?" my many.
Yuda smiled, he picked up a cigarette and burned it. Suck it in, then blow the smoke up. Fuuh.
"Da, what's this money? This for me?" ask again.
"Hehehehe. Yes, make lo. Keep it in the bag! Someone will take a snatch." replied Yuda.
"Yes, but what is this money? Yesterday's part for me is already loving, continue this what money?" my many.
Yuda held his chair to the table. Tika was just smiling looking at me and Yuda.
"Your mother is very good" said Yuda.
"Eh, what does Da mean?" ask me in wonder.
"So like this, this afternoon I took the car that I had bought. I rented a tow truck, because the antique car was not on. Once the antique car on the crane to the Om Galih workshop and I want to leave to go home to the boarding house, suddenly I was called the same mother boarding." Yuda story.
"Continue?" my many.
"Gue in hot tea. Keep going, your hostess wants a new offer." Yuda continued.
"New offer? What offer is it?" my many.
"Gini, the money I have paid to the boarding house will be returned by five million, provided I want to exchange it for your necklace. That's an offer from your boarding house." continued Yuda.
"Continue?" ask me in a loud voice. Yuda. "Keep taking the offer?" my many.
"Obviously I accept your mother's offer, five million in exchange for a kayak necklace. Five million In! You can buy a nicer necklace Di." replied Yuda loudly as well.
My heart is mangkel like.
"Lo is crazy, Da! Offense to sell other people's stuff. You don't know the importance of the necklace for me, it was given by Da. You can't just play and sell, there's no ethics!" i shouted.
"Yes Di, you can buy again using the money I gave you earlier. Is it less money?" Yuda.
"I don't need your money. Eat the money!" I threw the brown envelope on Yuda's face, I left the store.
Tika ran after me.
"Woi! Adi! How important is that necklace to my lo giniin? Whoi, Di!" Yuda.
