NYI TWINS TRIBUTE

Wake up

Both of Riani's eyes opened immediately. He found a white ceiling. He knew very well that he was now in his room.

Riani quickly got out of her sleep. Looking towards the wall clock, the time shows three o'clock in the evening.

Riani breathed heavily. "I'm dreaming again."

His hand rubbed, wet. Hot air was felt in his room even though the AC was turned on.

"I'm glad I could help you, Ndhis." Riani said softly.

He remembered coming home from Sella's house a few hours ago. His eyes were focused on the short video that was being aired on his smartphone. Even until he went into the room.

The blue smartphone was lying near the pillow where he slept. Riani took it and lit it. Seen battery percentage remaining 20%.

The second day of work, Riani still felt excited. At half-eight in the morning, he was out of his house so as not to miss the public transportation that he would use to go to the mall.

The bus stop today is more crowded than yesterday, even Riani did not get a seat as she waited for the vehicle she was going to ride.

The clock shows the number eight for less than fifteen minutes. Riani ran small towards the employee room to first put down the bag and lunch box.

"Say the new boy yesterday spoke alone."

"Who did you say?"

"The OB."

"Eh, but Ira also said she saw him talking alone.

"Don't he look-"

"Hush, don't talk about it. I'm scared."

Riani put the bag and the lunchbox inside the locker. He approached the two people who were talking about him.

"What do you mean by that word? Obviously I'm talking to my friend, Fella!" rushy Riani.

The two women were in disbelief. "You-you see Fella?"

Riani nodded, she did not understand what surprised the two women.

The two women looked at each other, in disbelief.

The news about Riani and Fella spread to almost all employees. At the break, they did not sleep, but asked Riani about Fella.

"Ri, he's an employee here, but he's dead." Nandira puts her hand on Fella's shoulder. "He died trying to help his mother. They both died together from the house fire."

"Ja-so--" Riani could not continue with her sentence.

Nindira nodded her head. "The hell you saw is no longer human, Ri."

"But I saw him so clearly, Ra. I could even hold her shoulder when I told her she had to be sincere and patient."

"Have you seen these rich creatures before?"

Riani shook her head. As long as he lived, he never saw any creatures let alone interact. At least he only saw a shadow, even though Riani did not believe him as a ghost, spirit or anything.

The break was over and everyone was back out of the employee room. They are spread out at several points to serve incoming customers.

Riani stood on one of the clothes racks. He also looked at the t-shirt display behind him, maybe there was one shirt with a suitable model, he wanted to buy immediately when his first payday had been obtained.

"Sister, looking for the pink one?" ask someone by holding a baby.

In his hand there is already one piece of clothing in the form of one set for children aged 1-3 years cartoon with blue color.

Riani smiled. "I'll find it first."

He turned towards stock clothing, trying to find the same one set in pink. But he didn't find it.

"Next to him, that little plastic one," whispered someone.

Riani nodded her head. "Oh." He returned to look for the one set at the place that had been shown earlier.

"Well, thank you, brother. I love pink so I want my son to wear pink. Thank you very much, Brother."

Riani nodded and smiled gently. "Together, Brother."

The woman went out from in front of Riani. He walked towards the cashier, maybe he only bought one suit for his son.

Still with the same smile, Riani turned back to the shelf containing stock of children's clothes. He tidied back the stock that had been a mess because he was looking for one suit earlier.

"Eh, but ...." Riani did not continue her sentence. He looked to the right and to the left to find something. "So someone told me that the suit was here." Riani put her hand on the pile of one set of children who had returned she neatened. "But I'm here alone. The older brother also might not know where the stock is, right? He's not an employee of this store, he's a buyer, he's a stranger. Who told you who I was?"

Riani moved and she looked around.

"Tri, were you there?" Riani pointed towards the direction she had previously stood.

While Tri shook his head. "No, I've been here, Ri. I'm just trying to take care of this mother." He pointed his chin towards a woman who was looking at a nightgown.

The woman turned towards Riani. "Why, Brother?"

Riani shook her head. "No papa, Kirain was there for me."

"No, from earlier this brother here continues to be the same as me. Officer next time."

"Yes yes," said Riani in disbelief, he rubbed his forehead.

Riani went back to where she was. He saw a fast-moving Difki with jeans in his hand.

"Defm ... Difki," called Riani immediately, the man turned his head.

"Why, Ri?"

"You were here?"

"Well, I was back here, why?"

Riani was relieved. "Oh, thank you."

"Thank you?" Difki scrunched his forehead. "What are you doing, Ri?"

"Aren't you the one who showed me the one set stock of that kid?" riani asked, she was still smiling.

While Difki just increasingly scrunched his forehead. "Huh? That's really you, Ri." Difki chuckles. "I'm back and forth from now, but I don't talk to you, I know that one set stock is also not really, Ri. I'm special in the boys' section."

"Yes, who is dong?"

He shrugged both his shoulders simultaneously. "No idea, Ri. But I just saw Ira here anyway, maybe Ira was telling you. I'll go there first, Ri."

Riani nodded, she felt relieved by Difki's reply.

But suddenly Riani wants to pee. He walked quickly to the bathroom.

"You were ahead, Ra?" asked Riani who happened to pass by where Nindira was standing guard.

"No, Ri." He shook his head. "Why?"

Riani told me what had happened.

"Maybe Fella."

"Fella?"

"Word that has worked here for a long time, Fella sometimes likes to help employees, Ri. I don't know what the truth is, he died before I went to work here, but I don't want to know him, I'm a coward, Ri."

Riani's thoughts continued to be on Fella. He still does not fully believe that Fella is no longer in the world.

Riani's footsteps entered the dark employee room. He turned on the lights and ....

Looks like a woman with a dark blue blouse and long straight hair.

"Fe-Fella ka-you-"

Fella grinned, her face dark in some parts because she looked down and stood right under the lamp so that the light did not illuminate the entire surface of her face. His eyes stared intently at Raini, sinister. "Do you know?"
