The Midnight
He's Already Dead
The wind made the footsteps heavier, the quiet atmosphere made me feel the cold of the night, the sound of the night dwellers as if constantly calling, and the feeling that exists now is only fear. I continued walking in a watchful manner, as if a pair of eyes were watching me. I occasionally directed my gaze all over, but I found nothing, all I see is a night animal flying. I also had to step forward on an unclear journey. I turned my gaze back around me to look for someone who was alive but still found nothing.
The more I tried to calm myself the greater my fear. But I kept going, and I looked back to make sure things were around me and I found a girl sitting alone. I approached the girl with an erratic feeling. “se.... What are you doing here?” I asked nervously, but she just kept quiet and looked down.
Without waiting for anything I immediately left to leave the girl. My fear grew and strange questions began to come to my mind…
I started running around, hoping to find what I was looking for. But immediately my steps came to a halt when I heard the crying voice of a girl. I started looking for the source of the voice and I found a girl sitting crying by the lake. With fear followed I tried to approach him and asked “se.... What are you doing here?” but he just kept quiet and did not answer a single word, I felt more curious and tried to get closer to him “Ke…napa you cried” but she remained silent and I was immediately surprised when she looked at me with a sharp eye as if to pounce on me, I fell down and she started approaching me. And “hha, just a dream. Fortunately only mimpi” I stared at the wall clock in my room which showed it was 07:05. “wahh... late, duhh.... how about nih?” preparing school equipment.
Ever since I dreamed about that mysterious girl I've been feeling weird, feeling unsettled, like someone was following me and watching me. That afternoon after school I was walking alone, suddenly a girl came running towards me, and pulled me, asking me to hide. I was astonished and did not understand why this girl pulled and asked me to hide as if someone was chasing her but who? andwhy? “who are you?” I was surprised, but he just kept quiet and did not answer my question, making me more confused, “why...” (disconnected) “sssuuuttt!!!” I also fell silent immediately.
Before long, two large men appeared, and it seemed they were looking for this girl. After they left the girl also invited me out. “they searched for you” questions that from earlier disturbed my mind I finally threw, “iya.” The answer is short. “but why” more me, curious, “alah, later I will tell you, now we find a safe place first.” Answer while drowning confusion, “ya already, to my home just not far kok” invite me
“So why are they looking for you?” I was curious to know…
“Oo, yes I'm Tarra” sticking out.
“I'm Jessi, so why are they looking for you?” re-inquire
“I don't know either, lately I was terrorized and I was threatened to be killed!”
“What... but why? Why would they kill you?
“Actually I know their secret, maybe that's why they're looking for me.”
“Hide!!! What secret?”
“A few days ago... After work I saw them throw something in the lake! And when I noticed it turned out to be the corpse of a girl!”
“Corpse!!! Did they kill him?”
“I don't know, for sure now I really need your help!”
“What?”
“I want you to come to this address” give me a piece of paper
“Whose address is this?”
“That's the address of my parents' house, tomorrow my birthday and I want you to give this to him” thrust a box of brown
“What is this?”
“This is a gift for my mom?”
“Why don't you just give me directly?”
“Ok, tomorrow I'll find your parents' address, and I'll tell you everything is just as mamah you are, and if while you stay here only until all is under control”
“Yes, thanks yes Jess..”.
The next morning I felt something strange about Tarra from yesterday he looked pale, and until this morning he had not eaten.
“Rra, are you sick? Your face is pale?”
“No, I'm not papa. Are you going to my mom's house?”
“Yes, I'm leaving soon!, you eat gie first, your face is very pale, you're sick. Your hands are also very cold, rich corpse idup aja”
“Udah no papa, you go gie!”
“ya already, I'm leaving but you are careful yes at home, do not go anywhere and do not open the door if not me who came.”
“Iya.”
‘This is his house. Home level green... Actually, this must be his home, but how many people huh?’ my inner
I also approached the gate of his house and I saw a guard “sorry sir! tarra's mom is there?” ask the guard
“ada, no neng. Login only..” let in.
“Iya, thanks” walk in
I was amazed to see the many sorrow flower arrangements,
‘who died, how many mourning flowers?’
On the doorstep there was a man crying, I tried to ask “maaf sir, mamahnya Tarra there?” ask that guy
“There, let me inter” while holding sobs. Then the man approached a mother who turned out to be Tarra's mother He approached and approached me, with a face that still seemed to be crying out.
“Please sit down, ade who?” with a hoarse tone of crying voice
“Sorry aunt, I disturb. I am a friend of Tarra, yesterday I met Tarra and Tarra leave this for aunt as a birthday gift aunt.” He thrust out a box, but when he heard those words he suddenly cried.
“Son, maybe Tarra was dead three days ago, and his body was only found yesterday by the police at the lake, because he was the victim of a murder” is clearly the man who turned out to be Tarra's father
“No way, that's impossible. Because yesterday I met with Tarra and he told me everything the same, even this morning I still met him, he also stayed at my house. Where maybe he's no”
mama Tarra continued to cry without saying anything She led me to a place that made me speechless, shocked and speechless, I could not believe what I saw was a rigid, oblong, helpless in front of me is TARRA's body
