Adzan isya' reverberated, heard among the roar of vehicles passing by. The sparkling lights make the night glow like when it is still day. In the city area at nightfall, the streets are even more crowded. Occasionally the sound of a horn sounds deafening at a crowded crossroads.


Hasan had just finished her last course today. He walked out of the classroom. His energy felt drained. Every day, he followed four courses, two of which were repetition courses. Hasan repeated the course not because he did not graduate, but he felt less satisfied with the value of his GPA in the previous semester.


A round white campus garden lamp welcomes Hasan tonight. He took a seat on one of the iron benches with blue paint in line with the color of the campus walls. Hasan pulled out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack. Then sip it slowly, until the toilet is not left.


Without Hasan noticing, there was a figure watching him from behind. The figure was walking to settle the precipitate, barely audible steps from the feet with pale white skin exposed to the reflection of garden lights.


"Hoe! Tired bang!" the female voice shocked Hasan from behind.


Hasan turned his head and found Nita smiling ignorantly looking at him. Hasan's close friend looks beautiful, although her face is a little dull and looks tired. Hasan believes Nita hasn't had a bath, just like she did all day on campus.


"No need to worry about it? Just ask me, tired darling huh? Is that? Can't you?" hasan sewot protest.


"Idiihhh, disgust," Nita chuckled. He sat next to Hasan. Raised his head, looking up at the starry sky tonight.


"When you graduate, you keep getting a job, you want to come to my house, right?" tanya Nita arrived.


"The road is still long Neng. Patience, sincerity, the spirit of the lecture, so you know," said Hasan, looking up at the sky.


"If you don't move, worry that there will be a prince coming to the house on a horse" said Nita.


"Ruda lumping?" cycad Hasan.


"Pony horse," Nita shakes Hasan's shoulder.


"Have you heard about Sani?" tanya Hasan switched the conversation. Nita shakes.


"I met the chairman this afternoon, Asropi. He said that Sani often daydreams, like a dazed person in a room," Hasan sighed, his face seemed restless under the lights of the garden.


"They're one kos huh?" ask Nita.


"Yes. You remember, when we went to the hospital to visit Mas Purbo, Sani was not willing to come along. I thought he wanted to rest because he was tired. It turns out that when Asrofi returned from the hospital, he found Sani sitting in his room's apartment still wearing the same clothes from the time he was possessed that night," Hasan said with emphasis.


"Huh? Don't you change your clothes all day?" Nita was shocked.


"Yes, even her room is still locked. The luggage from the exploration was left scattered outside the room," replied Hasan.


"So, Sani all day just sitting quietly outside the room? No other friend of kos is there?" Nita doubts Hasan's story.


"It just so happened that day it was all on the crap. They realized it when it was past noon," Hasan scratched his temple that arrived itchy.


"Now that is it? Not that night after being helped by Mr. Kaji everything is normal again?" sergeant Nita is scared.


"Where I know. I really feel guilty, "Hasan looks sorry. He was holding his head.


"It's not your fault Hey!" Nita glared at Hasan.


"If only I hadn't been reckless until Kobeng. Or if I hadn't been brought by the sajen, everything would have been fine" Hasan lamented, his eyes looking glassy.


"Learning for us not to be reckless in a foreign place. No cecometan, not the origin of the food plate is not clear," Nita patted Hasan's shoulder. Trying to calm the gentle man.


"Pray San. Pray, God hears you. Be patient, for the Lord will answer your prayers at the right time" answered Nita.


Hasan was silent to Nita's words. The lover of his heart gave a wise sentence, feeling reassuring in the heart.


"It's late, we'd better go home," Nita started to feel the cold. Today he forgot not to bring a jacket. Actually Nita's last lecture hour, finished after Ashar earlier. He was in the library until 7pm to wait for Hasan to finish college.


"alright. Where were you parked?" Hasan moved from his seat.


"In the parking lot cook in the toilet" said Nita with a laugh. Hasan melengos's.


Nita walked ahead of Hasan. Exit the campus park to the parking lot located not far from the administrative bureau room. The room looks dark and quiet at night. Window in the form of nako glass that looks outdated, covered with curtains from the inside.


The cold air pinched Nita's arm which was covered only in a piece of cloth patterned on the box. Though he was timid, but his view did not want to be separated from the administration bureau room which is famous for creepy among students. That's how humans are, the feeling of fear even more curious.


Maybe because of the wind, the curtains in the administrative bureau room seemed to move. Nita immediately turned her eyes. His hair bristled, his mind had imagined the creepy thing was in the room at the end of the parking lot.


Highlight the dazzling motor lights, right about Nita's face. Hasan smiled mischievously, riding his motorbike approaching his lover.


"Ihh, this glare. You want me to 'blolok en' keep stumbling like that?" Nita sewot's. Hasan chuckles.


"Now" Hasan said something to Nita.


"Huh?" Nita notices the object in Hasan's hand, which turns out to be an army-colored hoodie.


"The air is cold" Hasan said briefly.


"Lha you?" nita asked as she realized Hasan was only wearing a slightly shabby line shirt.


"I'm hot again. Aman," Hasan replied as he rubbed Nita's head slightly rudely.


Nita hid her blushing face. Hasan was about to pull the motor gas, when it felt the phone in his pants pocket vibrated slowly. A phone from Asropi.


"Hallo, Mr. Ket's assalamualaikum," Hasan picked up the phone and said hello.


At first Hasan's face was bright, but after talking to the chairman of the club of Nature lovers, the smile disappeared. Under the spotlights of the campus parking lot that was pure white, Hasan showed a worried and riled expression.


"What's San?" nita asked after Hasan hung up.


"Sani was taken to the hospital," Hasan replied bowed lethargicly.


"Why?"


"Sani tried to kill herself. Asrofi said, from this afternoon Sani did not leave the room. Worried, Asrofi and the other residents of the boarding house break down Sani's room and find him lying on the bed. Under the bed was found scattered packs of cough medicine in large quantities," Hasan sighed.


"You gohome. I want to catch Asropi to the Hospital," Hasan waved a second, and immediately pulled his motor gas.


"Be careful" said Nita softly as she hugged the hoodie in her hand.
