45 Days of Terror in the PKL

Episode 3

In the morning I rushed to prepare to go to the campus where we gathered and went to Tanjung Beringin Village. After I got ready, I was taken by my father to college, we went to drive my dad's car, all my stuff was put in the car I said to my dad.

“Well, I was the one who left. Yes, can yes well.” I begged my father with a hard face. Dad looked at me by putting his eyebrows together.

“Dad knows dad's daughter is an adult, but this time I want to drive for the princess. Is the princess pleased??” ask me while teasing me and smiling.

“That's dad, yaudah deh if you can't just say can't dad, don't try to tease me like that.” I spoke as I opened the car door and sat in front beside my father.

Dad laughed at my behavior and said, “if it's not like that dad's daughter will be harder than dad,” pull my nose pointed.

“Dad..” I reply while looking at my father and wearing a seat belt.

Arriving at the campus I immediately went down, dropped all my belongings, some of my friends were astonished to see what I brought but no one dared to speak because my father was still beside me. Dad helped me put my things together on the campus bus that we were going to use, all the things were neatly arranged by my father I was staying waiting for a briefing and a turn out to be absent, after that, I could sit on the bus.

Before I gathered with my friends I said goodbye to my father, he hugged me for a while and kissed me on my forehead while telling me advice.

“Daughter father, be careful there yes do not easily careless still have to be alerted and vigilant. Do not be arrogant and trivial with the rules that are there. I know you are a child who never forgets to pray but remember brother, praying is enough but it would be better if your behavior is also taken care of. Understand brother, you are an adult you know what you can do what is not.” Dad said seriously.

My answer to dad, “iya dad, I understand pray for me too dad so that my research, my duties are all smooth and I can go home healthy like when dad drove me to go.”

For some reason I spoke like that to my father, my father glanced at me in surprise but he smiled and said.

“Definitely father will pray for this very beautiful father's daughter.” While stroking my curls.

“I say yes well, dad be careful on the road. Remember yeah well take care of my mom when I'm not at home don't go out at night until this daddy's wife's bodyguard comes home okay well.” My message to dad.

I laughed when I heard my words.

“Good princess.” Answer father.

I saw my dad drive by, after my dad left I got together with my friends. When I approached them, they said.

“Princess of his father if you want to go well yes all well prepared, ushered until all the goods are neatly arranged.” Ledek one of my female friends, she was named Arumi we often call her umi.

“Iya dong mi, I'm the princess.” I said to Umi with a big smile. All my friends smiled at my words.

Two of our lecturers in charge of our trip are already present, they told us to line up and call our names one by one and told us to get on the bus they had chosen. Before my goods were arranged by my father into the bus, my father had asked permission first to our lecturer, so I already knew which bus I entered.

After everyone got on the bus, I sat in the second seat behind the driver. I sat down with my friend who was close enough to me her name was Irene.

A little bit about me I'm a hard person to get along with and I'm more silent. I don't have any friends, because I have a hard time trusting other people. I once thought of someone as my best friend it turns out I was just someone he could use there was no sincerity there, so I concluded in this world all had their own limits. I decided to set limits on everything.

Back to my story.

The bus was speeding up, my bus friends turned on the melow music made me sleepy and I fell asleep to reach the destination. Arriving at Tanjung Beringin Village I was awakened by Irene.

“Jo, wake up we have until all have come down to lower the goods, stay you because your goods are the most.” Irene.

“Oh already until Ren, yes yes, help me yes sorry I overslept.” Answer me

“Iya gakpapa, fortunately you do not snore.” Irene said back.

“Emang if I snore why?” my many.

"I shut the fuck up!” Irene said firmly.

“Udah ah let's get off the hunt already this afternoon we sampe.” Irene.

“Iya, yes irene.” My answer.

Irene and Irene went down, and together we took all our belongings down, after which we were lined up again outside the village hall to be selected into a group of seven, and they were called, mixed women and men.

We were placed in houses, the lecturers did not allow us to contract one house, so before we got to this village the lecturers had already socialized, made a deal with the villagers.

We are made up of 10 groups I belong to group two, one village will consist of three groups. While lined up in front of the hall to my left, I saw five men who were not there when we left earlier. I glanced at him at a glance, one of the men in the row aligned with me looking straight at me that made me feel uncomfortable and I glanced back at him with a look of dislike. When I looked at her like that, she suddenly said.

“Where to deck, want to move huh??” laughing a little at my things.

I just kept quiet and looked at him cynically, then I turned my gaze to my lecturer.

I muttered in my heart, “what the heck so much, I better see my lecturer than see a strange man.” My movements while turning my face away.

After the lecturers delivered their speeches, the lecturers introduced ten mothers to us, they were the mothers whose home we would live in we called her a landlady. Our foster mother when we stay at her house later.

After that the lecturers mentioned the names of the groups who will stay one house with us. And I live with Rosiana's mother and her husband, Mr. Rojak.

I'm in a group with Tasya, Anggi, Irene, Ruth, Alexsander and Jonathan both of my classmates. Those I mentioned were invisible when we left and the bad news was that the person who was mocking me in the line by looking at my many belongings, he was one group with me was very annoying. He was named Jonathan, when he saw him enter my group it felt like my head was hot looking at his gaze and his smile that was pitching towards me. Huh, that sucks.

After we had a group gathered together with the landlady, a man named Jonathan. One of my classmates was standing right behind me, whispering from behind.

“Why not all one room only brought deck, gig tuh.” Her speech.

I did not respond at all, well although honestly I was very uncomfortable and it almost felt like I kicked his leg, I tried my hardest to hold my emotions in control of my emotions that were almost peaked. Instantly my daydream focused on silencing my emotions was resuscitated by Irene.

“Jo, Jo." Irena called out to me but who said not only am I that annoying guy also looked towards Irene while saying.

“Kok you are not polite deck, if you call me use the word “abang” dong, I'm your class brother." Jonathan.

Sorry bang not brother, I called Joana not brother, immediately who heard it all laughed and I also laughed. It's time for me to repay.

“Eatya next time the obvious dong Ren, kasian will anyone feel it turns out not he will be embarrassed to be.” I said while looking at Irene and glanced slightly at her. It turned out that he had not exhausted the words he replied to me.

“I was born first from you, lest your mother and mother make a pact to make the same name for us.” He said while winking one eye.

He teases me by getting closer to me is so annoying. I just kept quiet and didn't reply to her words.

Finally our landlady took us to his house, from the village hall to his house not far about only 500 meters. From the village hall to his house we walked a little, arriving at his house the first time he saw the building somehow a cold, goosebumps and anxiety came to me.

A little about the building. The house was like a newly built house that had not been painted only new in cement plaster, so the house seemed dark plus the weather was getting darker because it was magrib. The house was large and tall looking from the outside, it had a mini garden before it got to its door there filled with various kinds of small flowers and filled with pebbles all the way to the door of his house. Beautiful, but dark impressed plus the yellow outdoor lights.

I saw the house was very dark, it was creepy anyway making me feel uncomfortable, really very uncomfortable. I feel like I want to move groups, who used to want a vacation even feel I will face many things during the 45 days of being in this house especially in this small village.

We entered his house just a step into his house we were given a shock blackout, immediately the house became very dark cold and I felt nauseous. Because I don't like the dark, and one dark village makes me feel dizzy instantly. Just set foot like this let alone next thought I was in silence.

About what Joana will face for 45 days in the village...
