"This is when cooked into rawon, only enough to cook once!" chirp Fiona, when looking at the number of kluwek seeds that are only four in his hand.
One thing in the Fiona family is that they like to eat rawon. Cuisine of black soup meat soup is indeed a favorite of the people from East Java. Even in his old village, both of Fiona's parents had a small patch of land covered with kluwek trees. Occasionally, they pick up kluwek fruit that has fallen to the ground and cultivate the seeds so that they can be sold to the market. Kluwek seeds are the main cooking spice of rawon which causes the sauce to be black. The aroma is delicious and can add to appetite.
For a long time, Fiona hadn't eaten rawon. Seeing kluwek seeds in front of him, he so imagined the cuisine. Fiona is not very good at doing homework, but if she cooks rawon, she deserves praise. Her grandmother even often praised Fiona's shrewdness on that one.
Fiona doesn't suspect anything more of the mysterious package. He just assumed that his grandmother had ordered it for him. Soon the girl opened the refrigerator and took out the beef, taoge, and other herbs needed to cook rawon. Not to forget, Fiona split the kluwek seeds earlier and took a black lump in it, to be mixed with other ingredients.
"Done!" One small smile rose on Fiona's face, after a week nothing could make the girl smile. Fiona took a bowl of warm rawon from the top of the pot and a plate of rice, then sat down rubbed in front of the round table and ate on it.
"Daddy, Mother ... Fiona eat first, yeah ... Happy eating ... ." Fiona shed tears, while bribing a spoonful of rawon in her hand. Delicious, very tasty. However, no one else praised him like before.
Fiona wiped away the tears on her cheeks, trying to avoid her feelings of sadness. He knew he could not drag on in grief, but sometimes his tears were hard to stop. The girl thought of another way to distract. He opened an online comic reading app on his smartphone, then searched for the last webtoon he read.
Fiona is so engrossed in reading the webtoon while eating rawon, until the last mouthful without her noticing. The girl immediately tidied up her used dirty dishes, and took them to the kitchen sink. However, just as he got up from sitting, his head felt throbbing. As if being hit until it feels dizzy. The entire room seemed to be spinning in Fiona's eyes.
Before long, Fiona's body shakes because it can't be held anymore. The girl curled up in pain while holding her head. Fiona did not know that it was her last day, not only in her office, but also in the world.

Back to the present.
"Ouch!" The pain in the groin resuscitates Fiona from daydreaming. He was trying to remember what he had done before he fainted. However, the pain that the girl felt made her grimace. The news was only felt, after Fiona accidentally moved both legs under the blanket.
The girl slipped her right index finger, about to touch the part of skin between the thighs under the blanket. It feels sticky in the skin area of his labia major, which if touched so sore as injured exposed to rough friction, as if just used forcefully.
"Nduk .. kowe nek kerjo sing ati-ati, yes! Ati-ati karo wong!" (Son, you if careful work, yes! Be careful of men!)
Fiona is reminded of the words of her late grandmother many years ago, when she first started working in the big city. His grandmother also advised him not to take too far before marriage.
All this time, Fiona still held onto the advice. No, Fiona was neither an innocent girl nor too obedient. He just chose not to do it. To him, it was each other's life choices. He did not look strange if there were other people or even his own friends who chose different. Fiona thinks it's none of her business. In addition, he is too busy working to be able to have a love bond with a man.
Of course no one could answer the questions raging in his mind at the moment. Fiona thought, she was alone in this room. No one can give an explanation.
Until finally, Fiona felt a hand touching her thigh. The hands are large because they have a lot of fat. Fiona shudders. The two girls eyes widened as they slowly looked to the left. Who said he was alone?
Apparently not, there was a strange young man who seemed to be sound asleep next to Fiona. His silver hair glistened over the light of the full moon which began to disappear in part. A blanket over the fat body of the young man was revealed, featuring him bare-chested and wearing only cloth pants.
Fiona jumped in shock. His breathing roared, dragging his feet to the edge of the bed, about to get down and away from the foreign youth. The white blanket was brought and to cover the chest. Fiona stepped on the fur carpet that adorned the floor. His body continued to retreat, until it hit the table in the back.
Fiona moved to the right, looking towards the window whose curtain was open. The darkness of the night is still visible enveloping the sky, accompanied by clouds that curl. Fiona tried to shake the handle of the window sill, until it sounded rattling. Locked up. Fiona was too panicked to realize that opening it only needed to shift the shotgun. The girl ran in the opposite direction. Then, accidentally, passed through a mirror the size of a human body next to the closet. Fiona spontaneously stopped.
"I-this ... this ... who?!" Both of Fiona's eyes rounded wide, staring at the reflection that appeared there. That's not him. He never cut his long hair short. Fiona also felt like she had never changed her hair color from black to purple. The girl can also afford to buy a set of body care creams with her salary, to make her skin smooth, not dull like the one in the mirror.
"Okay, I need to calm down ... ." Fiona tried to pull and exhale slowly, while closing her eyes. There was nothing he could do to calm himself down except in that way. Before long, he opened his eyes again and looked at the mirror.
"Before, I had just resigned from the office. Then, there was a mysterious package, containing kluwek seeds. Then, I cooked it .. Then, am I hallucinating now? Am I really drunk? But, I'm sure the kluwek seeds did not contain any poison! It doesn't taste bitter, though! If the cyanide is still there, it must be bad!"
Fiona just kept flashing in front of the mirror. The girl did not realize that her voice had disturbed someone's sleep. Yes, that fat silver-haired young man earlier. The man felt the bed area on his right. What a girl was supposed to be in, apparently was empty.
The young man opened his eyes, then rubbed them, cleaning up any dirt that might be stuck. He straightened up, wanting to see who had been blabbering. His gaze became clearer, especially when he saw that the girl who should be next to him at this time, was talking alone in front of the mirror.
"Fiona," call the young man. The one called out immediately gasped, forgetting that there was someone else in the same room. Fiona looked slowly back. The silver-haired young man came down from the bed, about to approach himself. Reflexively, Fiona stepped back.
"What are you doing?" ask the young man. The fat folds on his chin and stomach swayed as he stepped. Fiona glanced to the right and left, panicking. He doesn't know what to answer. He doesn't even know who to face. Fiona could only be quiet.
Seeing the girl before him not saying a word, the young man became riled up. "Hey, I'm asking you, Fiona Nayesa! What are you doing!"
Fiona frowned. Fiona is rightly her name, but Nayesa is not. Even so, he felt familiar with the combination of Fiona Nayesa's name. But ... who?
