The Last Chance's

Part thirty one

The sound of lightning that boomed like splitting the earth shocked Anggi who was asleep in his apartment. Sweat pouring profusely along with blood flowing rapidly in his body made Anggi panting staring around. 

Two o'clock in the morning. 

Anggi let out a long breath looking at the number pointed by the clock on the wall of his room. Strong winds that managed to penetrate the room ventilation, as well as the air flowing from the cooling machine did not make Anggi feel comfortable to re-dilate his body. He wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, then grabbed the glass of water he had placed on the nightstand. 

Blank. 

Ah…. Anggi felt furious with his drinking glass that was beside the nightstand. Supposedly, he filled the glass again when he was about to sleep earlier. But, being lazy, he was so clumsy and feeling thirsty at this moment. 

Inevitably, Anggi got out of his bed and walked out of the room. The sound of heavy rain and the whirring of the wind that was able to shake the curtains of his living room, made Anggi stare for a moment towards the closed window. 

"Then I went to your house! I'm worried because yesterday I went home without having time to send you to the apartment. But, instead of meeting, your cousin said, if you didn't come home last night. Lo where? You're all right, aren't you?"

Waving a deep breath, Anggi approached the window of his apartment and revealed a little of the gray curtains covering it. Right now, the sky looks so terrifying. Lightning that snatched ferociously, as well as the wind that blew fiercely, making Anggi's heart beat unbecoming. He was horrified, he was afraid, to instantly close the curtain back and turn his body tight. 

"No…. I'm not going anywhere, really. I'm just…."

"Yesterday, someone said that he saw you brought with Andi. That where? He doesn't do the same thing, does he?"

Anggi leaned his body against the curtains covering the window behind him. His conversation with Roni this afternoon somehow made him feel dizzy. The man's suspicious gaze towards her, as well as the attention that now felt so excessive made him feel uncomfortable. What if Roni finds out about his relationship with Damar in the past? Although they are good friends, Anggi can not guarantee also, if Roni will not spread it to others. 

Oath to whatever, Anggi was very unwilling to have anything to do with Damar heard by people again. After all, although it was very difficult to do, Anggi tried to bury his story with Damar as if it had never happened before. Because if that happens, then everyone will know how stupid Anggi to be a human. Perhaps, even donkeys can be more intelligent than Anggi in the past. 

"Udah lo, just calm down. I can take better care of myself than you think. If even he intends to mess with me, I first make the same calculation with him."

"Who can you?"

Anggi lowered his head and slumped sitting on the floor. Roni's last words were so underestimated Anggi yesterday, as if slapping him on the reality that had happened to Anggi and Damar before that. The incident where Anggi could not do anything when Damar began to do things against him while in the man's room. 

"Lo's lucky, because this time I didn't do it the same lo. But, next, I don't promise to be able to tell you what not to."

Indeed, at that time Damar just kissed Anggi without doing anything worse than that. It's just that kissing was done by Damar yesterday, instead of not hurting Anggi's pride as a woman. What did he consider Anggi, to treat him like that? Cheap lady? Huh! It was the same as him raping Anggi indirectly. 

Ting! Tungs! 

The sound of the apartment bell ringing suddenly shocked Anggi who was contemplating on the floor. Both eyes stared horror at the door of his apartment that looked dark - because of the minimal lighting that is always Anggi for if you want to sleep-, the, then look towards the large wall clock displayed in the living room of his apartment. 

It was two o'clock a few minutes early in the morning. 

Inwardly, Anggi asked. Who the hell suddenly rang the bell of his apartment these nights? Human, or not? 

When the bell of his apartment was pressed again, and followed by the sound of knocking on the door in a row, Anggi again jerked in place. He quickly grabbed the glass he had just brought, and grasped it tightly. Not to forget, he also took a small flower vase on his decorating table and walked slowly towards the door of his apartment. 

A little hesitant and full of fear, Anggi opened the door of his apartment that was still pounded in such a hurry. 

And as soon as the door opened, the two hands of Anggi who was ready to float earlier, came down instantly with a look of extraordinary wonder. 

"Lo?"

"Relin!"

❄

"Why did you come here at night? Don't have a job what?!"

Currently, Damar was sitting pensively on the long sofa of Anggi's apartment. After some time ago he surprised Anggi by coming and hugging the woman right at the door, now he must be ready to face the frustration of the woman whose night was disturbed by the presence of Damar there. 

"Heh, I'm the same lo! Why not answer?! If you just want to ride a seat here, mending no need! Go home, or sit in the middle of the street!" reprimanding Anggi annoyed, because Damar just silence while looking at his face with a glare. 

"Nggi,"

"What?!"

Not caring about Anggi who spoke emotionlessly, Damar only gave a small smile looking at the woman's annoyance towards him. Well, anyway, it seems like he should be self-conscious that anyone would be angry if disturbed by midnight like this. 

"Gue. kangen is the same lo," Damar said so subtly, almost disguised by the sound of lightning chasing around out there. 

"Huh?"

A little thinning his lips, Damar lowered his head and kept silent. While Anggi, pay attention to the man's sad face carefully. 

Whatisthis? It's not usually Damar to be this calm. Is he sick? His face looked pale and like an undead. Despite being long-spirited by Anggi, he remained silent, holding like he was not the usual active Damar. 

Waitaminute! He's not a demon, is he? 

"Ehm…. Lo…"

Somewhat afraid of disturbing, Anggi seemed restless sitting on the sofa opposite Damar. What if the one in front of him isn't Damar? What if the one in front of him is a ghost, who likes to disturb single women like himself? 

Does that make sense? 

"Akhs! What the hell, I! What a ghost, try! Which is really…." Decak Anggi himself, shook his head bitterly and throbbed. 

For a moment, he saw Damar as if imagining. Then, slowly the man raised his face, then smiled softly at Anggi. 

"Nggi.., I'm afraid."

Seriate...
