Screamnights
the journey to the village k

The distance required from the town of J where Alena lived together with her two colleagues to the village of K in the city of K was 423.3 Km. From the google map guide, the time needed to arrive at the destination with the distance is about 6 hours 18 minutes. It was the time it took Alena along with her two colleagues to reach the village of K if passing through the toll road. However, if you go through the highway without tolls, it should be longer than that.

            Six hours is not a long time if used for daily activities such as work and so forth. Working time is even longer than that, at least eight hours of work in the company. But six hours is a long time if it should be used to drive and sit still in the vehicle. The trip will be even more boring when it comes to passing the toll road where along the way will only be seen straight roads, guardrails, other cars that also travel, and the road will be seen, empty rest and roadside.

            But that is not a problem for Alena and her two partners, Manda and Gala. Although Alena can't drive her own car, two of her colleagues: Manda and Gala have excellent drivers. Both have a high enough focus and not the type of person who is easily sleepy when driving a car. Manda and Gala often swapped to drive when the first person sitting behind the wheel was tired enough to drive. Then what is the task of Alena who just sits quietly next to the driver. Alena, who can't drive, accompanies the driver by talking, singing along and sometimes greeting drivers who may feel hungry while driving.

            “What food did you bring this time as a travel stock?” Manda who was sitting in the driver's seat as the first driver asked Alena who was sitting next to him.

            “Kimbab, rolade, nuget and sausage, then the fruit that I have cut into pieces. And for the drink, I only bring coffee in a thermos and mineral water only.” The journey that Alena took along with Manda and Gala, was always like this. At the beginning of the journey, Alena who served as a cook will cook a variety of simple dishes to carry that can be eaten easily on the trip. And in the trunk of the car, there are portable cookware from the stove, pan, pan and teapot. Then in addition to portable cookware, there are some instant foods such as instant noodles and canned foods that can be eaten easily.

            Alena and two colleagues learned from some experiences that sometimes food purchased at toll resorts is quite expensive. So to overcome that, Alena along with her two colleagues prefer to bring cooked food supplies at the beginning of the journey and eat instant food on the way home. When you arrive at your destination location, Alena and two new colleagues used their money to buy typical food in the area and took the food review footage to upload on screamnight 2 account containing reviews of food at horror locations. It is common for youtuber to have more than one account to get more money.

            “Do you want to eat, Manda?”  Alena asked Manda.

            “Kimbab and rolade. I want to eat that. Did you make spicy kimbab, Alena?” Manda asked. Alena and Manda are fans of spicy food, as opposed to Gala who does not like spicy food and prefers sweet foods. Gala even likes rolled eggs with a sweet taste rather than a salty taste.

            Alena nodded her head. “Just calm down for our two parts, I added chili powder into the rolade and kimbab. As for Gala's part, I made it sweet as her favorite.”

            “You are indeed the best chef, Alena.”  

            For more than three hours, Manda sat behind the wheel and drove the black SUV sports car comfortably and without any interruptions at all. During the driving, Manda even devoured a lot of food until when the time alternated with Gala to sit in the back seat, Manda then fell into a deep sleep due to the satiety.

            “Are you not hungry, Gala?” Alena asked Gala when Gala had been driving for an hour and only drank coffee with a thick cream. For the beverage problem, Alena with Manda and Gala have the same fondness: the three do not like bitter coffee and prefer to add cream to the coffee.

            “What do you make this time, Alena?” Gala turned around to ask Alena.

            Alena then repeated the same words she said to Manda while sitting in the driver's seat. But at the end of the explanation, Alena added that the food for Gala had been separated because Gala did not like spicy food.

            “You are indeed the best chef, Alena.”

            Alena smiled at the praise from Gala's mouth which was exactly the same as the praise said by Manda earlier.

            “So what do you want to eat, Gala?” Alena asked again.

            “I want to eat all.”

            Ckitt ....

            Gala suddenly stepped on the brake pedal of the car while her left hand tried to hold Alena's body that was not facing forward because it was feeding Gala who was driving. Alena was shocked and managed to survive the impact thanks to Gala.

            “Nearly alone!!” Gala hit the steering wheel in front of her while looking left to see Alena and the back where Manda was asleep. Luckily, Manda slept in a sitting position and used her safety belt. Usually ... Manda will sleep in a sleeping position complete with a blanket and pillow that he always carries.

            “What-“ Alena turned towards the front still with a shocked and confused face as Gala suddenly stepped on the brake pedal. Thick smoke was suddenly seen along with that of several cars in front of the car that was driven by Alena, in a state of stalled with the rear body ringsek.

            Gala looked towards the rearview mirror to see the back of the car and let out a long sigh, huft. Soon Gala turned the wheel while stepping on the car's gas pedal and moved to the other side of the road that was empty and still passable.

            “We're lucky.” Gala kept checking the rearview mirror a few times while talking to Alena. “If behind us there is another car, then the fate of our car will be the same as with the cars we saw.”

            Alena looked to the side of the highway and found someone burning the trash leaves and made the thick smoke cover the entire toll road within a radius of several meters. It may be a trivial thing if done in the village area but this is a toll road area where the car travels at speeds above 80 Km/hour. This thick smoke must have made some motorists not alert when passing through it and ended up in a series of accidents like Alena saw earlier.

            Alena nodded her head in agreement while slightly thanking God because Gala was really alert. “Ya, we are lucky.”

            Alena thought such an event would come to a halt at that point alone and the journey would be smooth as before or like previous trips. But some things like that happen again and again. Along the way, several unexpected events occur. Like: the car that was right in front of Alena and Gala cars, suddenly lost its balance and hit the road divider. Luckily, Gala, who was sitting in the steering wheel, noticed the strangeness of the car and managed to dodge. Then when you want to enter the toll gate to pay, there is a car that suddenly experiences a brake blong and crashes into a car in front of him that is paying toll fees. Once again ... Alena along with Gala and Manda are lucky again because it was ... Gala wanted to choose the door, but because the car in front of her never finished paying, Gala changed lanes and survived the collision.

            Some of the events keep repeating and Alena along with Gala and Manda continue to be lucky because they always managed to escape the incident.

            “Sial! What's with everyone today??” Gala cussed while wiping away the cold sweat flowing down her forehead.

            “It feels like a final destination movie only. Lucky we continue to survive the unfortunate incident that occurred several times.” Alena replied to Gala in a joking tone with the intention of making Gala who was now feeling tense with this trip, become a little calmer and relaxed.

            “I think you're right, Alena. But ... I think it's more like the misfortune of all the people who are now gathered together as one along this highway and because we're always safe, among the unlucky ones, we are some people who have a little bit of luck.”

            Alena might agree with Gala's words, but something in her mind suddenly thought of something else.  Is this really luck? Why do I feel if this misfortune is a sign??

            “Hoaaam ... “ Manda's yawning voice sounded and broke Alena's mind. “What did I miss earlier, friend??”

            Alena and Gala smiled at Manda's words.
