The Night Hugging the Stars (The Ghost Mystery of the Dark Forest)
Out of Town



The wall clock is pointed at the number 9 night, only the night breeze and the silence that enveloped the cold of spring. When the eyes want to be closed but the petals do not want to obey. Seconds have swirled past the numbers showing the darker the night. At exactly 10pm there was a message coming in between the silence. At that time also the man who suffered from insom immediately got up to check his phone. It turned out that a message that he really wanted to avoid came at the wrong time. Now the feeling is like in the storm when he has to run or he will go carried away in it. The choice was as meaningless as it was now, the unease grew stronger after he saw a woman curled up under the covers.


"Darling what should I do now?, this situation I cannot choose, I do not want to leave you alone in passing through your difficult times but I also cannot miss this precious opportunity. "Oci then kissed the nawang who was still asleep.


The kiss made the owner wake up from his sleep and find himself sitting staring at him.


"Mas hasn't slept yet? "asked Nawang while yawning because he was still sleepy.


"Yes insom mas relapsed again, mas has not drowsy, you sleep again there is enough rest so that your body back healthy." said Oci while allowing Nawang's blanket to open.


"All right, I went to bed again, " said Nawang.


Soon she fell asleep again in her delayed dream. Oci looked back at his phone and read the message many times. Unknowingly the voice of the old man was already reverberating which signified dawn had arrived. The eyes that had not been closed were heavy but he could not sleep because his mind was in chaos at this time. He immediately took ablution water, after which he woke his wife to congregational prayer.


After the breakfast ritual was over Oci tried to talk to Nawang.


"Honey come here and want to talk, "said Oci.


Then Nawang headed towards him.


"Sit down." said Oci while patting his thigh.


"I'm sitting there? "asked Nawang while squinting his eyes in wonder.


"Dear yes, "Oci's reply gave her goosebumps.


Now Nawang's position was already sitting on Oci's lap. Now it's time for Oci to persuade his heavenly angel.


"Sad sorry I said this all of a sudden because I just got a message last night, ".


"Order what mas? "asked Nawang curious.


"Like this last week just established cooperation with the company in City A and the head of the company asked mas to be a representative for a welcome at his new branch for a week, he said, but if you do not allow the mas to leave the city, the mas will reject it, "said Oci explained very carefully.


"Mas don't refuse the offer, I'm fine, I can't worry with me, now I've been quiet," Nawang said with a smile to hide his sadness. It was only five days ago that he lost his little star but now he has to let the person he loves get away from him.


"Dear you are serious? "asked Oci excitedly. But his little heart still could not bear to leave Nawang alone.


Nawang simply nodded to answer her husband's question. Oci then kissed the nawang as a sign of gratitude for allowing it for business outside the city.


"Darling what if I asked Boy and Pakha to come visit so you wouldn't be lonely during my time out of town?"ask Oci enthusiastically.


"Yes whatever, "Jawab nawang. The decision made Oci happy but nawang instead. He felt that no one supported him in going through the grief, even his son's grave was still wet and had not dried up. But he does not want to be selfish and just slumped in sadness. For that nawang let her husband out of town.


"Boy you are an imperfect man" said the boy praising himself for looking handsome in front of the mirror. Today she is so excited every wekend she will definitely take her time to date. With a cheerful face by wearing casual clothes and white casual shoes with short black pants add to the aura to shine.


Soon the doorbell rang that made the confident man smile and immediately opened the door.


"Honey you already sa.. "had not had time to continue his words it turns out in front of him is not the woman he was waiting for. How surprised Boy at the moment because now in front of him is a man who he really wants to avoid.


"Assalamualaikum."Greetings Oci while smiling in front of him.


Because so surprised Boy to forget to answer the greeting Oci.


Oci repeated his greeting again while patting his best friend's shoulder, because from earlier he came just dumbstruck at the door.


"Ahhh waalaikumslm, sorry that many more thoughts even forgot to invite in, let's go in. " said Boy while patting his own eel.


"What do you drink ci? "ask Boy.


"No need to bother, I'm only here for a little while. There's something I want to talk to you about " said Oci.


Oci's words that he just heard made his body stiff right then and there, like a bomb ready to explode whenever he moved, the fear, the anxiety that Boy now felt. But today came the time for him to express the guilt that he had been damning.


"Boy, Oci. "together they said.


The situation that had been gripping now was more colorful because it sounded like the laughter of the two of them.


"You are still the same, you say it first" Oci said in between his laughter.


"You alone I'm the host and you've come all the way here" replied Boy.


"I'm the one who's gonna give up,"


Oci recounted all of his plans to go to town and asked Boy to occasionally pay a visit to the nawang house if he had time.


Boy agreed to the request, when Oci was done talking now is the time he apologized to Oci.


"I'm sorry because I you lost your future son, if only that day I hadn't asked you to come with a handler it wouldn't have happened to you. Sorry also only now that I apologize to you, you and nawang can hate me it's all my fault, "had not had time to finish his words Pakha was standing at the door with a look like a killer.


"What did you guys just talk about?"words that silenced Boy's mouth at that moment. She was afraid that Pakha would hear all of her words and hate her. Boy wanted to cry when he didn't want to lose Pakha a second time. Because he knows if kak nawang is the only family that loves Pakha until now as well as Pakha who only loves nawang.


Gayss... What will happen next?would Pakha hate the boy and leave him if he knew this?? see you in the next episode......
