At 23:30 Salma had just arrived at his boarding house. Tonight Salma came home late because she had finished doing chores while hanging out with her friends at a cafe.
Because it was late and midnight, Salma's friends were asleep, and the front gate was locked. Salma had tried to wake Rika up by calling her, but there was no answer. Looks like Rika has already slept.
Then Salma remembered that when Mr. Darso gave the room key, Mr. Darso also gave the back door spare key to all boarding children. Finally Salma walked from the front gate to the back of the kos, where the back door of the kos was connected to the ablution and kitchen.
Salma tried to open the door and without hindrance, the door opened. Salma got into the boarding house and locked the door back. It's really dark. The ablution lamp is not turned on, as well as the kitchen lamp, because both rooms are deliberately not turned on the lamp at night.
After passing through the ablution and kitchen, Salma walked towards her room. However, arriving in front of Ema's room, precisely on the front steps of Ema's room, suddenly Salma's footsteps stopped. He felt someone standing on the stairs.
Salma's heart beats like never before. Salma felt that someone was standing watching her.
'Who is standing, are there children who have not slept? if it was one of them but why would he just stand up without calling me?' Salmas.
The heart beat faster, suddenly Salma's hand and neck feathers seemed to stand up because of goosebumps. Salma looked up at the stairs on her left, slowly moving her head.
Sure enough, there was someone standing in the middle of the stairs. But it is not clear who it is, because the front of Ema's room is dark, the lights are not turned on. There was only a hint of light from upstairs sneaking into the sidelines of the stairs. Making the face of someone standing was not clearly visible.
Salma looked at the person and tried to guess who the person standing was. However, from the shape of his body, especially from the head, Salma realized that someone was a male figure.
'Why is there a man in this room? isn't it men can't get in the room except just in the living room? and if he's a guest why is he playing this late?' Salmas.
Salma was still watching the man standing in the middle of the stairs, and the man was still watching the curious Salma.
"Who's there?" Salma tried to get him to talk from downstairs.
The man did not answer.
Salma still looked at the man, and Salma only realized that he was wearing a very long black robe. And Salma thought, which man in modern times now wears a black robe. And Salma also realized that the man was not human.
Salma's heart was beating faster, breathing began to pant, legs began to limp, the body began to tremble a little.
Instantly the man began to step down the stairs slowly, his long robe was dragged as he walked. One by one the men stepped down the stairs and were about to approach Salma.
Salma realized the figure was walking towards her, unconsciously Salma's feet stepped back slowly. Salma began to feel afraid even so frightened, Salma began to dry up and her mouth could not scream.
"Who are you, who are you" only that sentence can be said on Salma's lips.
Yuk!!!
"Salma??!!" ema's voice came from the door of her room.
Salma immediately faced toward Ema's room as soon as she heard Ema call her.
"Ema?" salma replied with a gasping breath.
"Salma, are you laughing?" ask Ema while checking her eyes.
"What's? laughing?" Salma's confused.
"Yes, I heard a laughing voice in front of my room, I immediately woke up. Salma, it's night, don't laugh. It's better to sleep" said Ema.
"O-OK Em.." answered Salma briefly.
Ema then went back inside her room and locked her room.
Salma breathed slowly.
'Laughs? clearly no one is laughing here Salma murmured in Heart.
Then Salma realized that she was interacting with the male figure on the stairs. Salma looked up at the stairs again, and there was nothing there.
'Where he is, he's missing' Salma.
Salma ran straight into her room.
