DARK NOTE

Part 3's. Message of Mysterious Figure

Sunday morning.

Adel and Diandra were cleaning the lawn from the weeds. Several pots of ornamental plants lined up neatly next to the terrace, near a small pond containing koi fish. The roar of the motor approached, Adel stood up to check. It turned out that Vienna and her mother had just returned from the market.

"Almost, Ma'am!" the girl waved. Vienna shook her head, her mother carrying a motorcycle smiled.

"Thank you, Del. Next time yes" he replied.

Diandra stood still with the grass scissors in his hand. He also greeted them. But suddenly Vienna shouted while shaking her mother's shoulders to get away. Diandra was surprised, and so was Adel.

"Sorry, yeah. I go home first" said Miss Wulan, Vienna's mother in haste. The distance of their house is only paused four houses on the left, passing the house Diandra which is at the end near the main road.

"Eh, why not Vienna?" ask Adel when they have passed. Diandra just shrugged his shoulders while continuing to cut the dry tree branches.

Adel stared at what Diandra was doing. Scissors. Viennese. Fainted. Torn mouth. Rearfisting mouth. Ah, don't-don't ... !

"Tante, Adel knows something!" his shout suddenly, made Diandra jump while throwing a caterpillar he was observing on a dry twig.

"What?" resounding.

"The Viennese bush is afraid of scissors" he said as he approached and observed the scissors falling on the ground.

"Why?"

"Because of him, attacked the same 'The Mouth Tear' and the possibility of using scissors, '" he murmured.

Diandra. He recalled the conversation of the girls at the martabak seller at that time.

"Trauma?" his Diandra. Adel nodded.

"Ah, aunty remembered the writing at that time from Sandra. writing using Javanese script," said Diandra staring at Adel. The girl knitted her eyebrows.

"Java accesara?"

"Yes. In the shop where aunty works there is a friend from Jogja. He often writes in diaries using the script so that not many know the meaning if one day the book is reading. At that time the book accidentally fell and opened, but the aunt did not pay attention because she did not want to know," said Diandra. Adel listened with excitement.

"Who's that aunt's friend?"

"Dark. But aunt does not know her house. Today he's off, tomorrow just ask the meaning of the message," Diandra promised. Adel thought for a moment.

"Don't. Don't ask what it means. Adel's gonna find out for himself" stop the girl.

"Oh yes, is there no Javanese language lessons in your school? As soon as the school aunty is here there's that extra lesson."

"Then anyway? Try Adel asked Zahra first," he said as he ran into the house. He called his classmate.

Diandra cleans gardening tools and then washes his hands. Before long Adel appeared while carrying a snack setoples.

"Where?" Diandra stretched her sore waist.

"There was. But it started in fourth grade. His brother Zahra who Junior High was good at the subject, he said. Adel wants to teach him, "the girl is excited.

Diandra came in and looked for his phone. He saw a lot of incoming calls and messages from his supervisor.

'Di, you're in now, yeah. Ali did not enter, Sekar could not be contacted. It will be counted overtime because you should be in the afternoon.'

Diandra hurried back to the message and ran for a shower. Adel who was waiting on the terrace was back in the house because Diandra did not go out.

"Where's the bath aunt going?" his yell.

"work. Some did not enter, so they must leave now," Diandra replied shouting at the water tap.

"Buruan, yeah. Adel also wants to take a shower, go to Zahra's house."

"Why what?" diandra asked while opening the door. The soap was still on his ear.

"Ask javanese script teaching," answered Adel briefly while darting in.

Diandra also drove Adel before going to the supermarket where he worked. The largest and only self-service in a small town is always crowded, let alone a holiday. Diandra works while thinking about the business he will start, maybe opening a shop again like his parents used to. Because from a small knowledge of trade they have inherited hereditary.

"Be careful, Del. Wait aunty aja, at 9 aunty has gone home as usual. Remember, don't throw it away" Diandra's message before the boy hits Zahra's fence.

"Yes, just relax,"

**

Adel unfolded the paper given by his brother Zahra this afternoon. The Javanese script and his examples he studied again, then he took the paper from its black open fold. Paper from Sandra, a message left behind by a mysterious figure who knocked on her bedroom window.

Adel began stringing the letters by looking at the examples given and remembering the explanation of his brother Zahra last afternoon. All the letters initially look the same, but after researching many differences.

'Yes in (h)am sa ja. (H)a ku (h)a kan me nun bag kan sa kit ha ti mu. Ti ti wan ci's'

Fuuh. Adel rubbed his sweaty forehead. For a long time he put the letters together into a reasonable sentence. In the last sentence he repeated his spelling. Is it really 'Titi Wanci'? Someone's name or something else?

Diandra knocks on Adel's room door and opens it before the boy lets in.

"Oh, what's wrong auntie?" resounding.

"Again what? Come along, buy fried rice in front. Hungry nih," complained Diandra while squinting her eyes at Adel's study table. "What's that?" inquiringly.

"Adel learned the Javanese script. This is what the message means."

"Tante knows what 'Titi Wanci' means'?" adel asked, looking at Diandra's face.

"Just ... ," said Diandra took her phone and typed something in the search engine. "Related to time" murmured Diandra.

"What is the name of the Successor? It seems reasonable that he used such a strange name" Adel said. Diandra shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know, ah. Come on, don't you come?"

"Can, deh. Adel sate chicken ten, yes," said the girl excitedly.

Diandra did not answer, only pulling his hand to hurry because suddenly there was a bustling sound from the complex guard post.

"What's up, Mom?" diandra asked Bu Hasan who was struggling from the crowd.

"There are victims again. Miss Wati's daughter," she exclaimed nervously. He looked shivering with pale lips.

"Victim?" Adel ran towards the crowd. Diandra chased after while shouting calling out her name.

Diandra gripped Adel's arm trying to split the crowd. Inside the guard post, Diandra saw a girl sitting limp, leaning against a wall near a chair. His face was not clearly visible as it was partially covered in a white, blood-soaked cloth. His eyes closed, but his breathing was still rhythmic even though irregular. Tears rolled, she cried without a sound.

"Astaghfirullah," his throat was restrained. Adel continued to tiptoe in order to see what was happening inside.

"Why did it happen?" diandra urged to the thick-bodied security guard. Mr. Surip looks embarrassed because he cannot maintain the security of the complex area.

"So I was writing a report book today, when Sister Sarah ran here in such conditions" he explained.

The sound of the ambulance made the crowd pull over. Some people immediately lifted Sarah's body, not seen her family there. Only a few neighbors would drive.

"Where's the family?" ask Diandra curiously.

"They have since morning gone, to the house of the brother who was in celebration. This has been notified, they immediately followed to the public hospital," replied Mr. Surip while clearing a messy post.

"Del, let's go home," asked Diandra to pull Adel's dumbstruck hand staring at the dim corner of the road. "What's wrong?"

"Auntie scared?" adel's voice is still not up.

"You think?" ketus Diandra's.

"That's more frightening," pointed Adel towards his gaze. Diandra shuddered, though he didn't see anything he was sure Adel really saw something.

"Hishh.the hunt!" yelled Diandra while groping Adel's arm.

Arriving home, Diandra's hunger is gone. He locked the door and went to the kitchen to get water.

"Auntie wasn't curious the same one Adel saw? He had been following me for a long time, but somehow it had appeared so clearly. Face ... ."

"Enough! Aunty doesn't want to hear," murmured Diandra. Adel shrugged his shoulders. The girl dragged a chair and sat up with her chin. His brows were clutched, his gaze was blank. Diandra's not comfortable seeing it.

"Well, why .. hmmm, her face?" said Diandra grasped the glass glass that had been toileted tightly.

"His face was full of bruises, his neck was like there was a trace of an entangled scar. He continued to look at Adel without speaking" murmured Adel. Diandra's got his forehead. Heat. But his hands are cold. He also made a warm sweet tea.

"Drink first" said Diandra softly. Adel welcomed the glass and took a sip until he stayed half.

"You didn't try to communicate with him, did you?" whisik Diandra's. Adel shakes.

"Cannot. Adel could faint because it wasn't strong."

Diandra took a long breath. The hair of the third grade SD girl.

"When has he been following you?"

"Since .. at Sandra's house. He first appeared there, as I checked the paper with the message." Adel pointed at the door of his room. Diandra refrained from trembling in fear.

"Yes, let's brush our teeth and continue to sleep," asked Diandra to guide her hand to the bathroom. Adel said he stepped into the bathroom after making sure the figure had gone from the corner of the kitchen, near Diandra taking drinking water.

**

Adel felt the room was very hot, not as usual. He knew the figure had reappeared and he did not want to deal with it. Several times the closed eyes felt itchy, the nape was blown by a cold wind. The sound filled the ear space. He picked up a pillow and threw it in any direction with his eyes closed.

"Go you! I don't want to see ugly creatures like you!" screams blindly.

"To..long .. please my brother ... ." The whisper became clearer. Adel set his foot to the end of the bed. A blanket covered the entire body. He opened his eyes from behind a thick blanket and the face was reflected right in front of him.

Adel screamed, he used to see strange creatures in the form of ordinary humans. But the most terrible is new this time and very close. In front of his face, under the covers.

"Tanttee ... !"

Diandra. He immediately ran to Adel's room which was next to him. Adel rolled off the bed in a blanket. Cold sweat floated all over the body.

"Dell..Adel! It's aunt."

Diandra carried the girl to her room. Adel closed his eyes with tears.

"Tante, he .. he's talking to Adel. Adel felt all his energy being absorbed by him, "he whispered weakly. Diandra gave him white water which was immediately downed with nothing left.

"Calm down, istighfar. Tonight sleep in aunt's room. Aunty won't sleep before you go to sleep" Diandra said. Adel curled up in the corner of the bed. Diandra got up and locked the door, faintly hearing Adel's room open and then closed slowly.
