Episode 21
That night , the wall clock of the room already showed the number twelve . But my finger is still busy replying to the message with eri , my old friend who is now wandering in the city . We talked about a lot of things that happened after we graduated from High School . Eri chose to come with his brother to wander, while I was still relaxing enjoying my new status as unemployed .
Until our conversation is over when I say goodbye to sleep first , eri just say yes because he said he wanted to continue playing the game . The night felt very quiet, even the sound of mosquitoes usually patrolling to look for prey was not heard at all .
I tried to close my eyes, rest my body and brain after a day of activity . Almost every day I always sleep above twelve . Actually there is no meaningful activity that makes me have to sleep this late, but it's basically just that I have a little sleep disorder . People commonly call it insomnia .
Several times I looked for the most comfortable position so that drowsiness immediately came, I looked at the ceiling of the room with spots forming a pattern like a map due to water seeped when the rain arrived . After that, my consciousness gradually began to sink into a long dream .
A little strange dream because in that dream, I realized that I was sleeping but why did my eyes open ? and why my whole body cannot be moved . I started to panic, trying to yell at my mother but my mouth just opened without a sound .
"Tolooong.." I screamed in my heart.
Cold sweat started to wash over my entire body . From the sky of my room sky, I saw a black figure with dangling hair covering my face . I was still trying to move my stiffened body while chanting some of the prayers I had memorized out of my head . Hope the figure disappears soon . But hope, hope .
It feels like I want to cry, run and hide from the creature . But what is the power of my tiny body just sitting still can't do anything . My breath choked when I felt a hand trying to strangle me plus the sound of whispers filling my ears . Whispers that until now I do not know what it means .
In the midst of despair, I still chant prayer in my heart, saying the name of God repeatedly . Hope help will come soon .
"Come on, wake up ! soberly ! soberly !"
Finally slowly my legs can be moved, and that's when the giggling that was on my neck began to detach . Instantly I screamed loudly until I woke up all the inhabitants of the house . The first thing I saw was the face of my mother who looked panicked while asking for my condition . I can only cry, my body shakes . Fear and relief mixed into one . Then I told my mother everything, she just answered
"already , that's you the overlap of his name . So if you want to sleep read do'a first !"
I just kept quiet while nodding slowly . Still clearly imagined the figure that was bothering me . That night until the next few nights I did not dare sleep alone . So I asked mom to accompany me . Yes, I'm experiencing a hopelessness . Things that maybe some people have also experienced but the incident is very imprinted in my memory . And I don't want you guys to feel the same .
