The Midnight Radio
Episode 12's


"Udah, here-here! Don't be afraid, come in Hayu?" I said to Gia and Remi who were still standing in front of the studio where we were broadcasting.


"Healthy, Xu? Not afraid of you?" ask Gia slowly.


"Superior dong. There's nothing left to scream."


"Shouts what?" ask Remi.


"Teh Hani, there's a demon here!"


"Shhht! Sompral you mah!" sentak Gia was shocked.


I chuckled and casually walked towards my desk. Gia and Remi soon entered and headed to their respective desks.


"Xu be brave euy now mah" said Remi.


"Youngawong! Teh Hani said don't be afraid. Just selow." I stared at the monitor and tuned the mic and headphones.


"Standby, Xu!"


"Ongkeh!" my answer.


"3, 2, 1, on water!" fun Remi.


"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, good night and good evening to see Inoxu from the second floor where the Story of Midnight 12.08FM Radio Rebel Bandung airs. Tonight we will listen to a story that comes from the listeners themselves. One song from Utopia with Between Ada and No request from Marwah Hanindhiya Hidayat, whose name is very good, will be the opening of the Story of Midnight this time.


For information, this song is a soundtrack of a best soap opera of its time entitled Here There is Satan played by Thomas Nawilis, Dude Harlino, Nagita Slavina, et al. The best soap operas before the emergence of soap operas that revolve around the torture of sons-in-law by in-laws and cheating husbands. Okay skip, hahaha! Enjoy this song to all listeners everywhere."


I turned off the mic and immediately picked the source who would fill out the Midnight Story this time. After choosing, I quickly contacted him directly and asked him to wait at the end of the phone line.


"Si Xu is really good at this mall, it's different," Gia said as she looked at me.


"Woyadong, I'm not afraid anymore. Wanted here there's a demon too I'll selow."


"Xu!" reproof Remi. "Don't songong, ah!"


I grinned and looked back at the monitor waiting for the song to finish playing.


"That's a song from Utopia with Between Ada And No. If today is rich you. Yes you. You are his girlfriend but he prefers the same path as his best friend. It will be between there and nothing, more precisely there but not considered, hahaha! At the end of the connection is already our source. Huh hello? With whom where?"


"Hello, Tea. I'm Esti at Margacinta."


"Please Esti, what story do you want?"


"News about my college, Tea. My campus is a new building actually, previously the campus location was on the road Riau, Bandung. But, because every year many new students who enter, will move to a new location on Jalan Soekarno-Hatta."


"Oh, campus XXX?" many ensure.


"Rubber, Tea. So all students move to a new campus after the campus is completed. The beginning of the move is still safe to control. Just a long time ago a lot of serem stories circulating."


"What is rich news?" my many.


"Kaya tells a group of female students see another student enter the bathroom, but not out. Fitting in samperin taunya bathroom empty. There are also stories of lecturers who see students sitting in a corner, but do not wear rich uniforms of other students," explained Esti.


"Lecture in uniform?" ask again.


"Yes Tea, for two days of the week we have to wear uniforms. Our campus is ready to work, so from the beginning it has been required to dress neatly to reflect professionalism."


"Which story is the best if which word Esti?"


"The teacher, Tea. I go live directly. It was afternoon lecture, five to seven. Well, we're all in the fourth floor. The fourth floor is a bathroom, where a group of female students had a girl go in there but it turned out that it was not there.


That day, our lecturers were all arriving a little late. We have all entered the class and started to do the task previously given by the lecturer through the class coordinator. And just before magrib, fitting lecturer dateng."


"Truly lecturer or jejadian?"


"Xu!" Gia whispered loudly and Remi glared. I nodded facing both of them.


"Wow, extra student? How's story?"


"Well, it was just before our lecturer magrib came. He waited for us all to finish the job. After that he went forward to create material in front of the class. Just so much more adzan. Mah kan rules, diem first until the adzan is finished. The mother mah ngga, continued to nerangin. We are also focused on horror and occasional nyatet.


Ga long, the atmosphere was very quiet because the lecturer mother suddenly diem. We who had been in the nyatet immediately raised our faces and stretched the mother standing while squirming into a chair in the back corner of the room. This back corner area is rarely occupied unless there are children from other classes who enter the course."


"Why is the teacher's mother?"


"Tea cup, he squirms something. For not long afterwards, he screamed while pointing towards the empty bench, until finally possessed. In a trance, cry for home. One class was in a panic and someone reported it to the picket lecturer. Long story short, the possessed lecturer was helped. And when I realized he was a story. There was a student sitting in the corner, when he was nervous, this student climbed onto the chair and continued to kayang. In shock, in the kayang position, he crept up the wall until it was finally gone."


"Astagfireullah! How then?"


"Yes class is published. Fear of mass trance because the students present were already frightened all. Just so much tea."


"Well, just don't bother! That way. The rich are actually afraid of humans" I said.


"Yes tea, but if you have experienced it yourself, which appears even instinct escape," replied Esti.


"Hahaha, yes really. Is there another Esti?"


"Tea, that's my story. Maapin if the story is random. Does it make tea?" sahutnya before turning off the connection.


"Sama-sama Esti, makasi also because you want to share the story here. Well listeners all, the new building is not a guarantee of a place there is no waiting for it. Esti's experience just showed that they are everywhere and coexist with humans. One song from TATU with Gomenasai will be the end of the Midnight Story this time. Inoxu please leave, see you again on another occasion. Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."


I turned off the mic and nodded small to the rhythm of the song.


"Xu! Hayu's home?" invite Remi who I responded with a nod after removing the headphones.


"It's so cool that Inoxu malem, there's no fear" said Gia.


I nodded proudly, "Yes dong! I learned from Teh Hani. Now I am brave, I want to be rich, how brave!"


Gia and Remi looked at each other before the two shook their heads slowly. While focusing on cleaning my personal items, there was a knocking sound in the room that came out of nowhere.


"What's that?" ask Gia.


I shrugged, "That likes to laugh kik kik kik kik times."


"Sh Inoxu! That's a mouth!" cut Remi.


I just grinned in response. "Kok just ngetok-ngetok anyway? Which voice?"


"Astagfirullahaladzim!" lirih Gia's. He was getting his personal stuff done faster.


I was about to get up but somehow my legs felt heavy. When I looked down, the sound of laughter was heard.


Kik kik kik!


"Xu," call Gia down.


"Come on! My bad side aing! (away! I'll burn it!)" hard jolt.


Kik kik kik! It is not that the sound of laughter is getting clearer.


"Come fuck! Arek diduruk's?! (go there! wanna burn?!)" jerk again.


The sound of knocking that was heard, was mixed with the sound of laughter of someone in this room.


"Come on! Aing duruk yeuh! (away! I'm burning it!)" I jolted for the third time.


Kriet kriet kriet! Instead of stopping, the sound of knocking and laughing was added again with a sound like a long nail scratching the board.


Panic plus fear started to creep up and I felt something cold touch my feet. When I looked down, I saw a pair of pale hands rubbing my feet many times.


"Mama, help!" I shouted spontaneously and immediately grabbed the bag, and as usual left Gia and Remi still inside the broadcast room.
