Unexpected Event



"Sstttt, auntie don't look out. Aunty also do not go to work tomorrow, already at home." He said with a face that looked like a frightened person.


I fell silent while looking at the boy who turned out to be a boy with a handsome face. However, in addition to his face that looked like he was afraid of something, I also saw that the child's face was very pale like a sick person.


"Hi, what's your name? Where are your parents?" I asked in a friendly manner.


"I'm Aldi. My parents are out there, again standing under a big tree next to that car." He answered while pointing to the car which turned out to be the three of us.


I looked in that direction, and saw no one standing under the big tree.


"There's no one deck there." I said back.


"There's a aunt, my papa mama is looking this way. I was the one who was asked to meet my sister to tell her that tomorrow's aunt at home just don't go anywhere."


"Why indeed?"


"Someone wants a nasty aunt. The man's a serem." Answer Aldi flat.


I could only smile at his chatter trying to warn me of something. I tried to think positively that it was just a little boy's talk filled with imagination.


"Thank you for your aunt's ingetin. Where are your parents now? Auntie, can't you see anyone's in there? Already want at 12 o'clock this night, you don't sleep?" Ask me back to Aldi.


"There, my papa mama is still under the tree again look this way."


Back I looked in the direction in question, but still there was no one there. Suddenly I felt the air inside this fast food restaurant become quiet and cold. Not cold because of AC, but because of something else. The feathers all over my body also suddenly brushed.


Without me noticing, it turned out that Mas Evan and Mas Hanif had come to the table where I was sitting and then Mas Hanif patted my shoulder.


"Sar, what's wrong?" He asked while looking at me in wonder.


I was shocked to see that the two of them were already in front of me with food and drink filling the table where we were sitting.


"Where was the kid?" Ask them.


"Whose son?" Asked Mas Evan who was even surprised to see my attitude.


"The boy who was standing here was talking to me."


"You were all alone Sar here. I saw you from the cashier you ain't nobody." Mas Hanif replied which surprised me.


"Huh herself? Lah had Aldi kok here, and there were still children playing the slide there." My answer came back, who still cheesed, telling me what I saw from earlier.


Mas Evan and Mas Hanif also looked at each other. They both seemed confused by what I said.


"From that time there were no children playing Sar, already at this hour where there are small children who eat here even though they are the same parents. You're all alone here, if you don't believe the cctv check here."


"But.but.." I stammered for a moment. The fur all over my body is getting more goosebumps. My heart was suddenly beating hard.


"Udah, maybe you're sapped because it's late at night too. Yuk now finish the food continues to run out it goes straight home." Mas Hanif ended this conversation and seemed to be trying to calm me who began to look scared.


I also obeyed his orders. I took my share of food and I opened the package. I ate while bowing my head and was silent about the strange thing I had experienced earlier. However, I suddenly felt that someone was watching me from a distance.


I looked outside and noticed the surroundings from the glass window beside me.


There were two people who were with him and behind Aldi, but they did not clearly see their gender. I just saw some blood on their clothes. And after I looked carefully, it turned out that Aldi's appearance had changed while with me earlier.


Aldi looks a little creepy with some blood stains on his clothes and also his forehead. I actually felt my whole body limp motionless, just fixated on gazing towards the huge tree.


Suddenly my consciousness returned as I felt a pat on my shoulder that turned out to be from the hands of Mas Evan.


"Don't bengong deck, spout in the finish of food." His order.


"I.iya mas."


At first glance I turned back towards the tree, but this time I saw no one there. There are only shadows of trees and cars coming from the street lights out there.


Why did I suddenly feel bad like this?


*******


This intimacy


Do not pass quickly


This intimacy


I always want to remember


My heart is at peace


My soul is at peace beside you


My heart is at peace


My soul is with you…


There was a melodious song sung by Indonesian singer Iwan false and Vina panduwinata.


A pair of human children who are blending love on the river bank so enjoy the lyrics of the song that comes from the old radio owned by the man.


"Mas, Asih loves Mas Dedi very much. Asih don't know what to do if you're up to leave me mas." Said Asih while looking at Dedi with her sad gaze.


"Mas loves you very much too. Promise me that you will not leave. You're the only one in my heart." Dedi tried to convince Asih of his deep love for the beautiful girl.


Dedi stared back at Asih with her shady eyes. Both of them were so swept away by the meaning of the song they were hearing from the radio.


Until without them knowing, the two began to get closer to the distance of their eyes, their eyebrows and noses began to touch.


"Can?" Ask Dedi while stroking Asih's cheek. Their forehead still touched.


Asih just nodded his head and began to close his eyes. Dedi then tilted his head and began to gently stick his lips and Asih's lips together.


Just a touch, nothing more but really sweet because this is the first kiss for both.


"Thank you." Dedi said with a smile after she removed her lips from Asih's ripe lips.
