Silence Cupu, It's the Queen
Chapter 3 Strange but real dreams

It has been three months Ratih worked in a bookstore as a cashier, his working hours after going home from college until night at 22:00. The distance from the bookstore to the hostel is a bit far, if the walk will take 20 minutes, but Ratih never complains

consider it physical exercise to let the body strong and healthy .

Every time Ratih returned home was always interested in stopping by an antique stall that he had once entered. Ratih planned to raise money to buy a unique pendant that attracted his attention at that time.

Like having a magnetic field, Ratih and the pendant pull each other even until carried away by a dream. But until now the plan is still being canceled because the money that Ratih belongs to me is not enough.

Someday if that's my fortune I'll get

Tonight cooler than usual, the cool air hit Skin Ratih while on the way home to the boarding house, the corner of his eyes glanced towards the antique stall that was dark and hanging from the inscription CLOSE on his front door.

As if someone was watching, that was what Ratih felt. Even the fur on it goes goosebumps. Something that feels real, but when looking back there is nothing, only the shadow of a branch that swayed in the night wind.

in Kostan..

Practice dinner, having previously cleansed the body and changed sleeping pajamas. Tonight Ratih ate a serving of catfish pecel complete with rice and iced tea, cheap only 15 thousand has made the stomach full and can enjoy a night of sleep more soundly.

The 100 x 200-gauge slash is a calming moment now. All day tired began to send Ratih to visit the dreamland. Without him realizing it, the figure kept an eye on him.

Ratih Prameswari...

Sontak woke up and was surprised, seeing the wall clock still showing at 02.00 in the morning. That voice sounded very real in Ratih's ears. After trying to regulate the breath and throw away the various negative thoughts that mill around trying to scare the mind, Ratih went back to sleep.

Wake up before dawn with a morning routine as usual, this morning before leaving for campus Ratih washing clothes first, washing clothes stamped five aka manual ngucek use hand, hand, finish drying and then shower and change clothes to prepare your way to campus.

The Syailendra dynasty is the oldest breed in Java in the 8th century is an era that became real history thousands of years later. Large building that became a place of worship of the ancient Javanese people, Bumisambhara. How a maharaja held a competition looking for a man who would accompany his only daughter to ascend the throne. The leader of the dynasty must be a man, but the king has only one daughter, the only daughter named Dyah Pramodhawardani. The candidate of the sole leader of the country who must have a partner who can help him run the wheels of government.

A man who managed to become the husband of the princess only wayang is he who managed to build a building for the worship of his family and also his people. The building is now known as Borobudur temple.

Papers made by Ratih got a B+ value, it is not enough to recreate it like other friends who got a D or even F.

Hours of rest as usual Train walked alone to the campus library. Someone pulled the bag so that Ratih fell.

Unfortunately where Ratih fell was a grass road that was still wet because of the rest of the rain last night. The Ratih clothes automatically get dirty with mud.

Without seeing who was nosy pulling his bag, Ratih stood up and patted his pants.

" Cupid base.dragu very loe style street cool ngalangin I want to pass, shuh... shuh.. get out there loe garbage !!" who else if not Kinan who increasingly hates Ratih.

"What's wrong with me to Loe Kin ?" ratih said full of anger.

"Salah loe tuh, why is it still alive heh ?!!" Kinan's words humbled Ratih Prameswari.

"Lecture capital scholarship aja proud loe Tih, brain loe tuh no talent bachelor, mending be my assistant how ??" Kinan is getting more and more teased Ratih.

"Gue has been often diem, does not mean you can arbitrarily bully me continue !! I can also fight tau !!" gertak Ratih with very sharp eyes

Kinan who saw the look in Ratih Prameswari's eyes felt trembling, like there was a strange creature emerging from both of Ratih's eyes that was ready to pounce on him.

"Review loe cuppu !!" Ana and Grasia push Ratih once again to fall, then immediately follow Kinan who has gone first.

***

at first, Ratih and Kinan did not even know each other. But that day, when Kinan saw how his target man was actually chatting coolly with Ratih the cupu on the park bench, the drums of war raged in his heart, Kinan began to bully Ratih often. Destroying locker keys and tearing all of Ratih's books, putting garbage in Ratih's bag, watering down the used pellets, Anything that makes Ratih look dirty and disgusting is a pleasure for Kinan.

No one can be more beautiful than Kinan, only Kinan can be. The more hateful Ratih Prameswari because the man targeted by Kinan the more unachievable by him and even closer to Ratih the cupu.

Finally because of dirty clothes, Ratih did not go to the library. Clean yourself as usual in the women's toilet, then go up to the rooftop of one of the 5-storey lecture buildings.

Sleeping on your back enjoying the sun that is too warm. Initially only wanted to dry clothes, but the atmosphere at that time increasingly lulled Ratih to adventure in the dream..

A dream that would change his life..

In the dream Ratih felt his body like it was sucked into a very strong magnetic coil, trying to fight but free.

"What happened to me ??" ratih said she realized she was dreaming

"What kind of dream is this ? why can't I open my eyes ?" Train in the dream world trying to wake up but can not.

Magnetic coils make Ratih Prameswari rotate far deeper and deeper getting sucked in a strange dimension.

"I can control myself in a dream world ?? weird... creepy.." Ratih Prameswari was terrified.

Ratih Prameswari doesn't know what's waiting at the end of this coil.

Ratih Prameswari's whole body shook violently, dead dead he tried to wake up ,

" the more I try to fight, the stronger I get.."

"SISTER !!!.... THE !!!... PLEASE TRAIN !!!" resigned to the situation and finally shouted with all his might to call the names of his parents.

The heart was racing like it wanted to jump out of place, the entire body of Ratih Prameswari was deathly pale and extremely cold.

I am going to die, said Ratih Prameswari who was slowly getting closed and drifting in his dreams...
