Love Me Tender's

The feared figure

Theo drove off his vehicle, leaving the campus parking lot already deserted. Then he asked Indira where she lived by looking at Indira through the rearview mirror in the car. With a little nervous Indira opened her voice mentioning her residence address. Instantly Theo glared. "That's not Ara's direction!"

"Sorry, brother. Ara could not bear to see Ara's friend walk alone. She's a girl, and it's getting dark, too."

Theo grunted rudely. "Next time don't go home later." Theo advises Indira to watch spy in car.

Indira. "Yes, sir", he said.

Theo frowned. "Sir?" he said that he felt old with that name. While Tamara held back her laughter, looking at the expression of her brother.

"Am I wrong, sir?" indira asked with anxious feelings to make Tamara's laughter break when she saw the sister's face like a grapefruit.

"Dira... Don't call him sir!" tamara exclaimed in the rest of her laughter.

"If I call him brother. It means I'm likening myself to you. It's impossible."

Tamara looked back, looking at Indira's nervous face. "If we're off campus, you can call him big brother, because we're best friends" he said with a smile.

"At hand. Which house is this?" asked Theo when he had just turned his vehicle in the housing that Indira had mentioned.

"Indira get off here only... Brother", he said doubtfully.

Theo mengolam smile to hear Indira's words. Tamara managed to see the sweet smile of her sister. "Thank you, Dira" Tamara said as Theo had just stopped her vehicle.

"I should say thank you" Indira said when she opened the door, but she began to be confused.

"Whose house are you?" tamara asked as she frowned looking out the car glass. But Indira did not answer him, because he was still trying to open the door. Tamara looked back. "Wait a minute." Tamara got out of the car to help open the door for her best friend.

Indira bowed shyly. "Thank you, Ara. Sorry to bother you" he said as he got out of the car.

"I don't feel bothered", said Tamara.

"I am the one who is bothered" Theo muttered.

"Thank you, brother", Indira said nervously as she lowered her head to see Theo in the car.

Theo looked towards him. "Yes, you're welcome."

"Your house is this?" point Tamara at the house exactly where they stopped at this time.

"Not this one, but across it." Indira pointed to a black-fenced house with minimal illumination.

"Why does your house look dark. Are your parents out again?" Tamara frowned when she saw the condition of her best friend Indira's house.

Indira diverts Tamara's words. "Wow, I'm not feeling well. We talk outside like this. I should've let you inside." Indira dilemma between taking them to stop by the house or stay standing near the car while talking.

"It's okay. We want to go straight back", said Tamara.

"Other times stop by the house, yes", invite Indira to speak stale, actually he did not intend to invite anyone to come to his house.

"Yes, next time I'll stop by" Tamara said as she opened the car door. Then he got in the car. After being in the car, he opened the windshield and stuck his head out. "See you tomorrow" shouted Tamara as she waved her hand.

Indira replied by waving her hand. "Be careful on the road" he said, shouting. Indira stared at the departure of Theo's car with happiness. But the look on her happy face disappeared as she turned her body to look at the house where she currently lives.

"Who brought you back?" ask the aunt who suddenly came from behind Indira.

Indira stroked her chest while turning to the source of the voice. "Auntie ngagetin aja" he said still by stroking the chest. "That was Dira's college friend, bi", he answered.

"Auntie bring your favorite kentucky chicken, there was another promo" he said, holding Indira's hand. "Here take it."

The sweet treatment of the aunt made Indira gasp in shock. He looked suspiciously at the aunt who was thrusting a bag of kentucky at him.

"Thank you, bi", he said stuttering.

The aunt smiled at him, then pulled Indira's hand into the courtyard of the house. "How's ospeknya today?" ask her with a sense of care.

"Dira was late to campus, bi. So do not follow ospek at all", said Indira while closing the door when they were already in the house.

"Tomorrow don't be late again, yeah." The aunt left Indira and went into her room.

"Home home?" said the uncle's baritone voice when Indira had just held the door handle of her room.

Indira. "Yes, uncle", he said. Then hurry into the room. Close the door and don't forget to lock it. Ever since the night that scared Indira, she never talked to her uncle for long.

Indira stepped out her legs while pulling her study chair. He removed the backpack that had hung from his shoulder and placed it on the study table along with a bag of kentucky in his hand. He sighed when he dropped his body weight on the chair.

His hand unlocked the desk drawer. It was a light blue book. A book that leaves half the page blank. Indira again incised his heart on every book.

Geck. Geck.

The sound of knocking on the door stopped Indira's hand movements that were still scratching her pen ink.

"Dira.. Let's eat!" the aunt shouted from outside her door.

"Yes, soon bi", said Indira while closing the diary book. Then he put it back in the drawer. He got up from his seat and rushed into the bathroom.

It didn't take long for Indira to finish her bathing ritual. He stood in front of the mirror looking at his face that was not wearing glasses. I don't know what he was thinking when he looked at his face without glasses. After a few moments of silence, he put his glasses on again. Get out of his standing position and move his legs while grabbing a bag of kentucky on the table and taking him out.

"Why is it so long?" the aunt asked as Indira pulled out one of the empty seats.

"Just finished bathing, bi", said Indira while dropping her body weight on the chair.

"Your aunt and uncle are done eating. We live alone is okay, right?" ask the aunt who made Indira tick. Suddenly Indira shuddered in horror at the thought of the figure that would come to her, if she was alone at the dinner table.

"Auntie, can Dira bring food into the room?" he hesitated a little.

"Can't! You already know auntie never allowed to bring food into the room!" said the aunt sniffed in annoyance.

Without wasting any time, Indira devours the kentucky chicken in her hand, almost choking. "Slow down!" exclaimed the aunt while bringing the dirty dishes to the kitchen. "You'll be washed!"

Indira also choked to hear the words of the aunt. "So slow." The aunt clucked in annoyance while giving Indira a glass of water. "Auntie lives yes."

The aunt walked away from Indira alone, followed by her husband from behind. The atmosphere of the dining room was starting to grip, Indira increased the rate of eating.

Aaa.... Indira shouted as someone's hand held her shoulder.

"Why yell?" ask the aunt while reaching for the phone on the table. "Are you scared?"

Indira looked at the aunt with a horse's grin. "No, bi. Dira was just shocked,", he said as he grabbed a glass of water on the table. After the aunt died, Indira cleaned the table in a hurry, then immediately washed the dishes. It didn't take long for Indira to finish the job of washing dishes, but she gasped in surprise when she saw her uncle standing in the kitchen doorway. The figure he was afraid of.
