Section 17

Alisha, Ara, and Rain are at the train station. They will be going to Bandung today.

“Al, are in Bandung many handsome men?” ask Rain. As usual Rain would ask a lot of unimportant questions.

“Lumayan.” Answer Alisha.

“Ohh. In that case, do they have a high posture?” ask Rain again.

“Not really.” Answer Alisha. He was still focusing on the book he was reading.

“Are they taller than you?” ask Rain who I don't know how many times.

“They--” greeting Alisha truncated.

“Rain, can't you stop asking? You'll know everything when we get there. Your rant makes my ears hot!” ara sat next to Rain. Meanwhile, Alisha sat in front of them with a man who was busy with his cell phone.

The position of Alisha who was flanked by the man and the train window made her feel a little uncomfortable. The man seemed to be completely disturbed by Rain's very chatty behavior according to Alisha.

“Ara, has the ghost inside you reacted so that your ears feel hot? In fact, I'm not planning on praying.” Celetic Rain.

“Heol! Just yummy! You have a lot of ghosts in your body. That's why you're being chatty!” ledek Ara won't lose.

“By the way, Rain. Why do you carry so many bags?” alisha asked Rain. He remembers Rain carrying a lot of bags as if he wanted to attend a school camp.

“Oh? The little suitcase only contained my clothes,” replied Rain casually pointing at the suitcase that was on top of Alisha's seat.

“Then, what does this contain?” ara asked as she pointed at the backpack that was in Rain's embrace.

“Oh, this?” muttered Rain while opening the backpack.

“Tada.!” Ara and Alisha were shocked to see the contents of the bag.

“Jeez, Rain! Why did you bring that many snacks?” ara asked inexhaustibly after looking inside Rain's backpack.

“For me to bury in Bandung and make a treasure chest. Of course I eat! What do you think, eoh?” chirps Rain is upset.

“You can buy it while on the train, Rain.” Cetus Alisha frowned.

“It would be a waste of money, Al.” said Rain and took one of his favorite snacks and started eating it.

“Originally you know, I also brought your favorite snack” Rain chirps made the other two girls glare happily at him.

“Really?! Where?!” the screams of Ara and Alisha together made the man next to Alisha take a sharp glance.

"W-why.. Forgive us," regretted Alisha. Rain and Ara just smiled apologizing for their attitude. The man did not touch the three and refocused on the book he was reading.

It is also Alisha's favorite novel. The girl wanted to exchange ideas with the man next to her. However, seeing the man's cold and indifferent attitude made him goosebumps to start a conversation with him. As a result, he only harbored his opinion.

“Select! There hasn't been five minutes since you guys nagged me!” rutuk Rain returned while Ara and Alisha laughed.

After a long journey, they finally arrived in Bandung. As soon as the three got out of the station where the train they were riding was, Rain immediately inhaled as much cool air Bandung as possible. It made Ara snort angrily and Alisha who put on a super flat face.

They immediately boarded the public transport to go to Alisha's grandmother's house which was quite far from the station. However, when it was half the way, they got off public transport and on foot to reach their destination.

“Al, is your grandmother's house still far away?“ tanya Rain was tired. He stumbled as he dragged his small suitcase. His back was quite sore because he was carrying a medium-sized backpack.

“A little more,” sahut Alisha short.

“Why don't we take the freight?” ask Rain again.

“No shuttles pass here.” Answer Alisha. They had arrived at the housing where Alisha's grandmother's house was located.

“But---”pronunciation Rain back cut.

“Rain, stop complaining.” Chirps Ara relax.

“Jeez, Ara! You tau? My legs feel like they want to break,” complained Rain excessively.

“Weak basis.” Sindir Ara's.

“Hey! I am not weak! You are the weak one!” sahut Rain was emotionally disturbed. Oh come! He wants to rest for a while. Now, he regretted bringing his mini suitcase to Bandung. How annoying!

“Heol! Why me? Aren't you the one complaining?” sahut Ara did not lose.

“Of course! You only carry one bag, while I have two!” sulkan Rain.

“Hei! Never mind, don't argue! Look at grandma's house is in plain sight,” said Alisha.

“Mana?” tanya Rain enthusiastically. He circulated his gaze to several houses lined on the left-right of the road they were traveling.

“It! The house with the black gate,” replied Alisha pointing to a medium-sized bright blue painted house with two floors to their right.

“Really? All right, I'll go first, bubay!” chirp Rain while running away leaving Alisha and Ara. They just shook their heads looking at the behavior of one of his friends. Rain was already sitting in front of the gate while Alisha and Ara had just arrived.

“Select! You guys are so slow!" Cetus Rain is arrogant.

Alisha immediately opened the gate and took the key that was in her small bag. He opened his grandmother's door and let his two friends in. The three rested for a while on the sofa in the living room of the house.

“Al, how long has this house been empty?” Ask Rain. He drank the water he bought at the station.

“When I go to Jakarta, the house is empty.” replied Alisha.

“Seriously, Al? Then, this house must be haunted!” cetus Rain is terrified.

“Yup! It does. Ghost is a woman.” Sahut Alisha origin while Rain already shuddered in horror. They were already in Alisha's room on the 2nd floor.

“Well, this is my room." said Alisha.

Alisha's room is quite large. Inside there is a queen size mattress and there is a bathroom inside. There are two teddy bears one is milk brown and one is milk white like Kiki in the middle of the mattress.

“Eh? Al, how is Kiki here? So what happened to the color? Does the color fade to white?” asked Rain who had pointed at the white teddy bear. He picked up a milk-brown doll and hugged it.

"God! Why is this doll so sweet?" He sniffed the teddy bear.

"It's fragrant!" He lay on Alisha's bed. Alisha who saw him immediately approached Rain who was drowning his face in her doll.

“Restore. This is Cookie, my doll,” Alisha snatched that milk-brown doll from Rain. Rain who saw it only snorted in annoyance.

“Select! I just hugged her for a minute!” sulkan Rain. He changed his position to sit on the edge of Alisha's bed.

“Already, I want to bathe” said Ara took her clothes in her bag.

The afternoon has passed. The moonlight radiates dimly in place of the sun's rays. The three high school girls are now relaxing on the living room sofa while watching Alisha's favorite cartoon show, a cartoon with the main character of a blue cat with orange fish. Alisha likes the blue cat character in the cartoon because of her silly and stupid behavior. Rain likes it too.

But it is different with Ara. I am tired of cartoon movies. He prefers to watch western movies with the main character of a pointy and strict man. He sometimes exchanged thoughts about his dream man with Rain.

"Geez! What did the Gumball family think? They can register the name Gumball on the Internet. There's no need to go after that donut cop!" Gelak Alisha's. He laughed as he watched the car chase between the donut-shaped police officer and the blue cat's family.

Rain laughed as he hugged his pack of snacks. And, Ara? He laughed when he saw his two friends laughing. For him, this kind of togetherness made him comfortable and warmed his heart. He didn't want to ruin a moment like the present.

A few minutes later, Alisha's favorite cartoon was finished and changed to a comedy opera. The three again laughed out loud watching the ridiculous action of the players. However, before long Ara moved from the sofa and towards the kitchen next to the family room followed by Rain leaving Alisha who was still busy laughing. Ara looked at Alisha's freezer and opened it. There was nothing but soda and snacks they had bought this afternoon. He was disappointed and returned to the living room to protest.

“Jeez, Al? In seriously? No food in your fridge!” ara Rengut.

“H... You know if this is my first time to Bandung after a year. Last year I only stayed 2 days with Alena here and came home soon. Of course there is no food," said Alisha relaxed and remained focused on watching TV.

"Our housemaid comes every morning and evening to clean the house, and then goes home. What can be expected?" alisha continued with her grin. He looked at Ara who was standing gaping next to the sofa where she was sitting. He chuckled and then stood up.

"All right! Come on, be-"

Alisha's words were cut off when she heard a noise from the kitchen. The two immediately headed to the noisy place and found Rain sitting on the floor with cookware scattered around him.

“Jeez, Rain! What happened?” ask Alisha worried. He approached Rain who stood up and tidied up his clothes.

“I just wanted to check the contents of that wall cabinet. But what happened was that these things fell right over my head. Uh! Pain!” clearly Rain stroked the rough top of his head. Suddenly, Alisha and Ara laughed out loud.

“Nothing funny” snatch Rain. He snorted still stroking his head that hurt.

“I thought there was a ghost,” chirped Ara with her laugh.

“Already, stop. How now? What are we going to eat?” asked Alisha who was still laughing a little.

“Wait, I remember if I brought instant” noodles Rain said.

“Heol! Why didn't you say it daritadi?” rutuk Ara's.

“I forgot,” sahut Rain relax.

Finally, they decided to make instant noodles for their dinner. Alisha added the eggs and sausages they bought this afternoon along with soda and snacks.

“Rain, do you still eat instant noodles often?” ara asked Rain who was swallowing her food.

“Yup! How else would you like? I was lazy to go out and there was no easy food to make other than instant noodles" Rain said as he blew his noodles. Ara looked at Rain concerned. Because, Rain always consumes instant noodles as his staple food.

“Why don't you order delivery?” ask Alisha.

“I told you I was lazy to come out, Al” replied Rain.

No one spoke of Rain. They continued the food interspersed with light jokes. After finishing their dinner, Alisha washes the dishes and tidies the kitchen. Meanwhile, Rain and Ara went to the room to clear up a place for them to sleep.

After finishing with the kitchen affairs, Alisha went ahead intending to lock the door. He went up to his room to sleep immediately. He was already very tired, considering the trip of the three of them was quite long.

Upon arrival in her room, she sees Rain and Ara lying on her TV night series. Rain looks to be changing TV channels with a bored face not much different from Ara. In Alisha's room was provided a TV so that she could watch without having to be disturbed by other family members.

“Gosh! Is there a good TV show? It's so boring! Al, is there nothing that can take away my boredom?” ask Rain who threw the TV remote over the other side of the bed.

“Hmm... Ah, true! Looks like I have a monopoly game,” said Alisha who went to the study table and sat there facing the bed while Ara was busy with her phone.

“Really? Where?” tanya Rain enthusiastically.

“I haven't played it in a long time. Looks like, grandma put it in the warehouse” said Alisha.

“Come, we search!” get Rain up from the bed, pull Alisha's hand and Ara's.

“Heol! Where are you going? Don't pull my hand tight or my hand will break!” ara's murmur rolled her eyeballs.

“We're going to the warehouse looking for Alisha's monopoly. This must be exciting! We're looking for treasure!” raine said enthusiastically.

"But it's night. Is that okay?" Alisha Mumbles. He walked towards his family's warehouse followed by his two best friends.

"What's wrong. It's still half nine in the night. There's still plenty of time, Al," said Rain.

When they arrive at Alisha's shed, a pastel green painted building welcomes them. The warehouse has a separate room located behind the building Alisha house.

“Al, have you ever entered this warehouse?” tanya Rain broke the silence between them.

“No,” replied Alisha briefly. He unlocked the warehouse. When it opened, they went into the barn. The warehouses are so dirty and dusty that they sneeze.

“Jeez, Al! Has no one cleaned this place?” tanya Ara covered her nose using her sleeves.

“Jeez, Ara! You're so weird. Is anyone willing to clean up the warehouse?” answer Rain.

“Heol! I didn't ask you!” rutuk Ara's.

“Select! Good thing ak-"

“Akh!"
