The Midnight Radio
Episode 27's

"Xu's? Isn't today off?" greet the Opi Tea who was wide-eyed at my arrival. "Oh, Teteh know. Win this is mah."

"Yes, Tea" I replied as I sat on the sofa.

Opi tea comes to a sit-down after going to the pantry and returning with two cans of soda. "Nih drink first, thirst must be hot-hot gini must be here."

"Yes how Tea, it's also called love." Hani's new tea came along. The two laughed together.

"Youngawong! His name is also love" I said.

"Tuh, Bang Win again broadcast. Just go in there," tell Teh Opi.

"Gga ah, if the two of them will be the three demons," cut me.

"Style really! Ahaha!" Tea Hani laughed again.

"Gee! Not the Tea style, is this building a lot of demons."

"Oh yeah?" suzerain Tea Hani.

Opi tea just smiles looking at me. "Teteh seneng deh, wiggling Win now."

"Why?" My hand opened the can of drink and gulped it down slowly.

"Certain no, Han?" ask Opi Tea on Hani Tea.

"Ceritain, Tea.

" What story?" manya curious.

"Alesan why Dete seneng ngeliat Win now."

"Why?" I'm getting curious.

"That's because he's never been rich before."

"What the hell do you mean?" ask again.

"Win was from the time of Teteh knew him because he was known to his cousin who is now the husband of Teteh tuh his person was very cold. Cupu is the tree. Rarely slang, rarely talk, rarely seem to play where it is. Every now and then," explained Teh Opi.

"Don't have a friend?"

"Yes, the guy was closed. So fitting see he now often laughs continue to be sensitive the same small things around him tuh it feels amazing!"

"Oh. Kirain what," I nodded. Something crossed my mind. "It used to be the same time her boyfriend had the accident, Gini too?"

"Ngga, just ordinary. Even more active ex first, Win still aja rigid," Teh Hani answered my question.

"Because Win is the type of person he should like first the same person. If he does not like, want to be written rich as well, he still rich kanebo dry. It's stiff!" add Opi Tea.

"It used to be a courtship" I said in surprise.

"Yes, because I see you often. Keep it fine, especially Lena is here alone. So what arises is the sense of responsibility Win," said Teh Hani before he left for the broadcast.

"Oh," I sighed.

"Even though Win himself was lonely," Opi tea held back a laugh.

"Times?"

"Yes. Broken home children, do not know who to side with, until finally stand alone is not a trivial problem. Look at it, Xu. As old as she's not married, it's weird."

"Yes yeah? I'm dating om-om dong?" my chirps that make Opi Tea laugh loudly.

"Eat him, I asked to be stopped."

"What is halal?" ask Bang Win who just came out of the studio.

"That, Inoxu wants to be halal" replied Teh Opi. I wave at the place where I hear his words. "Make you, Win! Inoxu wants to be halal for you! This is what you don't understand, you are geeky!" exclaim Opi Tea again saw Bang Win silent.

"Yes my intention is that," said Bang Win. I'm getting the wrong way of being here.

"Alhamdulillah, are you waiting?" Opi Tea got up and went upstairs after waving at me.

"Now?" the question is pointing towards the studio. I nodded and followed him from behind.

"12.08 FM Radio Rebel Bandung. Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi. Inoxu was here to replace Kang Utep who was not present to accompany the lunch hour of all listeners. One song from Cassandra with Best Love hopefully can entertain huh? Happy listening and don't go anywhere because I'll come back and read the listener's voice to Radio Rebel."

I turned off the mic and stared cynically at Bang Win who was sitting not far from me. "So I was told to change Kang Utep's broadcast?" tanyaku.

"Yes. What do you think you're doing?" ask Bang Win back.

"Yes Kirain wants to take another walk."

"Can aja. Abis done broadcasting huh?" said it.

"That's the Best Love that Cassandra brings. For the new listener, I would like to welcome you and enjoy lunch. Try to always carry an umbrella when traveling because the weather that lately can not be predicted. It was hot, uh it was raining. Just as rich as you! Yes you! Romantic night, it's cynical tomorrow."

"Ohuk!" Bang Win coughed from where he was sitting behind the desk of the song operator.

"The first listener's voice came from Euis in Rancabolang. Want to request the song Agnez Mo which is titled A Taste. Greetings to papa, mama, aunty, aunt, adek, brother, sister mama, sister mama, her brother papa, her sister papa. Eh forget, papa with mama I am an only child. Yaudah, just ask for the song." I held back my laughter as I read out a message from the listener.

"You're a hilarious Euis? Time to forget if your mom papa is an only child. Ahaha! Next up is Amira. Greetings to Acil, Oliv, Isna, Miss Unyu-unyu, and all. Make My Heart, love you baby. I love you." I laughed without a sound and immediately imagined Kang Utep who looked good reading the listener's voice.

"Next there is Erli in Cijaura. Greetings to my son and husband who are right now next to me. Lah? Ahahaha! While staying directly sampein aja yakan?

Then there was Yasir in Moh Toha. Send greetings to my dear, I miss you. Eh Yasir, what is the name unfortunately not called? Not more than one. Ahahaha! That was part of the listener's voice. After one song from Agnez Mo with A Flavor, a phone service will be opened for one listener who calls to Radio Rebel. So make sure you don't go anywhere."

I turned off the mic and re-read the message from the listener. Some of them made me laugh and forget about Bang Win.

"What is that?" suddenly tanyanya.

"What?" askaku.

"I'm romantic if it's malemic, but if it's cynical noon?"

"Yes! Very beautiful," I said.

"Yes sorry," he said.

I was stunned for a moment before reopening my voice, "Yes don't have to apologize either. Just said I'm mah. No objection at all."

Bang Win just smiled at me. I went back to reading the listener's voice and monitoring the song.

"Yeah! Listener voice phone service is open. Who wants to call the studio, mango, I'm welcome," I'm back on the broadcast after the song ends.

The red mark on the monitor flashes a sign of a phone coming in.

"Hello with whom?"

"With Luigi in Dago."

The deg! I recognize this voice. A voice I've been trying to forget for years.

"Hai Luigi, how are you?" ask me in the end.

"good. It's Inoxu, right? Inoxu Aisyah Princess?"

"Not right," I replied.

"I was shocked when I heard your voice, and I called this radio number. Still want me, right? Luigi Fajardo, your college girlfriend."

I glanced at Bang Win who was looking at me coldly.

"Ingett. How are you?"

"Alhamdulillah. You how are you? Now you're a broadcaster? Cool though!"

"Alhamdulillah is good too. Yes, the ideals of the past have finally been achieved as well" I said short.

"I miss it! Is your phone number still old? I'll call you later?"

I flinched and spontaneously held my breath for a moment.

"Sorry, I changed my phone number" I replied.

"Yes, if so, then you'll call me first? My number is this, I'm waiting for you. Oh yes, ask for a song dong Blanket Heart of God 19. Greetings to the beautiful broadcaster Inoxu."

"Okay ready to go to the computer, huh? Makes a lot of calls here." I can't wait to end the conversation.

"Makasi ya Inoxu," Luigi replied before turning off the connection.

"It didn't feel like it had been an hour that I was accompanying all the listeners. May be entertained by the presentation of slick songs that have been and will be played after this. Me, Inoxu pamit. See you soon, wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."

I turned off the mic and removed the headphones and turned to Bang Win who was focusing on staring at the computer screen.

"I'm sorry if I sound bad, but your ex's number has been removed and I won't be asking for a song from him" he said coldly.

Instantly I laughed. "Yes delete it. I also have no intention of knowing her number. The past will continue to be the past" I said rhetorically.

Bang Win looked me in the eye. "I might not be able to lose you."

I smiled with a myriad of raging flavors. I secretly agreed with Bang Win. I might not be able to lose that guy.

After a while, shut each other up. Bang Win stood up to me. "The roads are postponed huh?"

"Why?"

"I anterin you go home, all want to see your mama at home," he replied.

My heart was beating hearing her words just now. I slowly nodded and went back into silence until Bang Win thrust his hand out after smiling at me.
