The House in the Middle of Sawah

The House in the Middle of Sawah
SURPLUS



At four in the afternoon, I was still in front of the studio microphone. Enjoying Indonesian pop songs at dusk like this is actually quite shahdu. Unfortunately my mood is still broken. Erni who was impressed to stay away from me all day made my mood messy. I'm playing more songs than I'm making a sound at the current hour.

The office phone rings. I walked over with a barrage, picked up the phone and stuck it to my ear. I haven't had a chance to make a sound, the voice on the other side immediately sounded loud.


"Daniii. .kok radio the contents of his song continue? You don't want to talk? Wh why? The professional dongg . . .", hardik voice there, head of marketing. There must have been advertisers complaining about this, I thought.


"Sorry, I'm not feeling well" I replied looking for an excuse.


"If you are sick, permit dong, let the other be replaced, do not believe gini, many complain!", still with a high and loud tone.


"Yes, sorry .", Tuutt. . ..tue . . .Tuuttt. . . My sentence has not been completed The phone is closed.


Yes, I was wrong. To restore my spirit, I need to wash my face. I walked towards the bathroom, still half-dragging in footsteps. Upon returning from the bathroom, I was airborne in a mood that still had not improved. While on the water, I open the request for a phone line song.


Strath. . .Strath. . .Krieggg


"Hallooo, good afternoon, with whom?", asked me kindly, still on the water.


Silent phone. There's no answer. There was only a sound like dry leaves rubbing.


"Hallooo, please request a song or nitip greeting?", I'm still trying to be friendly. The phone is still silent. Okay, fix, it's a prank phone. I hung up the phone too.


I continued reading out the requests from SMS and facebook fanpage, the phone rang back. I lift up, silence back. This incident happened three times. I was really annoyed, why when my mood was in such a mess like this, there were also such prank phones. My watch's done at six o'clock. After the next program announcer had arrived, I immediately rushed home.


On the way home I was still daydreaming about how Erni cuek to me earlier. I'm confused, if I explain to Erni that I hugged Febi yesterday because we went to Lik Wo's house obviously it will disappoint her. Because I lied, promised to take Erni if I went to Lik Wo's house, in fact I went alone with Febi. However, if I don't explain it, Erni definitely thinks I'm really in a relationship with Febi. I became a little annoyed with Febi, why didn't he help me clear up this misunderstanding. With all the aggravation in my heart, I pulled my motor gas deeper. Without me realizing my bike was traveling at a high enough speed.


Scroll the clock on my left wrist. Six o'clock is more than a quarter. The road to my house was empty. At this hour, my people call it "surup". The change between day and night. A time when people would rather stay home than travel. Suddenly my hair stood up. The nape and around the neck feel cold. I got great goosebumps. Something is wrong, I thought. Next I remembered Lik Wo's "pageran" in my left pocket. Kuraba, it's still there. But I remember, a sloppy thing I did. When I went to the bathroom to wash my face in the studio earlier, I also urinated, but I forgot not to take off the "share" first. That was a taboo. Ah, goddamn.


I accidentally glanced at my right rearview motorbike. The faintest male figure was looking at me through the rearview mirror. Blackened eyelids, and blue lips. Obviously, this is not human. This figure was seen sitting comfortably behind me, as if I was piggybacking on him. I looked back, there was no one. To me, with a high enough speed, my balance is disturbed, my bike is runny. I couldn't control my bike, and hit a roadblock. I slammed high enough and was thrown into a bush. The sound of my body hitting the ground rang out loud in my ears. Along with that came a male, hoarse laughing voice. Trying to remember that voice, like the voice that whispered "wes wayah e" to me some time ago. I was dizzy, my body could not be moved, my vision began to blur and disappear, I was unable to maintain my consciousness.
