The Midnight Radio
Episode 40's

"Gia, the vendor has sent the list of quiz winners yet?" bang Win asked Gia who was sitting with me and the others on the afternoon.

"But Bang, Gia check first," she replied passed into the room. Not long after, he returned with a laptop.

"Udah Nih Bang's. It's accepted."

"Dream off the water now, huh? Fear malem ujan, even noisy. It's a big deal, "Bang Win advised.

"Okay Bang, Gia find Adul first." Gia walked out to look for Adul. After lunch, everyone has their own activities.

"Cape?" asked Bang Win sitting next to me.

"Ngga, just plain," I replied shortly.

"I came out first with Utep huh? Want to find fuel to burn later malem."

I nodded in agreement.

"If Adul has come, live broadcast off the air only, so that later the malem can burn."

"Yes" I replied again. Bang Win stood up after previously shuffling my hair slowly.

"Hani, Opi, get Oxu?" he said briefly and then walked out.

"Hetdeh, now a nitip-nitip euy," cried Opi Tea laughing which then followed Hani Tea.

"Ah si Adu mah was invited to broadcast his answer!" gia who just arrived. "Himself, Xu. I woke up Remi."

I nodded and stood following Gia towards the room then headed to the other room filled with our luggage.

In a few minutes, I was ready in front of two laptops with a mic and headphones.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, welcome to meet again with Inoxu and the team in the Story of Midnight 12.08FM Radio Rebel Bandung. The broadcast this time can be said to be special because it was broadcast live from a villa in the peak area. One song requested by Princess Ariani Antari of Peterpan with All About Us will be the opening story tonight. Happy listening!"

I turned off the mic and leaned against the wall while waiting for the song to finish playing.

"That's Peterpan with All About Us! Welcome to the listeners who have just joined. Enjoy our broadcast over the next hour and a half. The story this time was sent by Flowers in Sand Koja.

Hello Inoxu Tea and Kang Aful, I am Flowers. The area where I live is in an uproar because of recent events. So, near my house there is a large mushola. Mushola is used by local residents to conduct religious activities in addition to prayer. The study of mothers, fathers and children is routinely held every week with different days.

The uproar started a month ago. By midnight, we had an announcement from the prayer hall informing us of the passing of a resident. Many residents were surprised because the sound on the mushola loudspeakers sounded foreign. Even more surprising when residents come to the house that is reported to be the person who was reported to have died is actually still alive.

At first we all thought it was a prank. However, a few days after that event, the person who was preached had actually died. The citizens were still prejudiced thinking it was just a coincidence. The next week, it happened again. Just before midnight, the announcement of condolences was heard again even though the rumored person was still alive and healthy.

The events of a few days later dispelled all the prejudices of the citizens because the person who was preached earlier, also died. To this day, there have been five people who have died in the same way. The last announcement came two days ago and came back to report someone's death. As fast as lightning, the managers of the mosque went there to catch the wet people who had made the announcement. But when he arrived, everyone was surprised because the mushola was empty. Even the mic where the news was broadcast was still in place and there were no signs of it being used.

Serem, Serem Bunga too? So it's a rich sign that someone has died" I commented for a moment.

"To this day no one has died, Inoxu Tea. Either tomorrow or the day after. For proof, I will send one more story to the Story of Midnight. If I don't send anything, then the announcement is true. The last person reported dead was me. Pray Flowers for Inoxu Tea and Kang Adul. I hope I'm okay."

I shuddered and instantly widened my eyes reading the closing paragraph of Flowers.

"Teh Bunga joked. We are still sending the next story. Well listeners all, one and a half hours I accompany in the Story of Midnight. One song Azyzatul Maghfy request from Wali Band with Good Sweetheart will be the end of our meeting this time. Don't go anywhere first because after the song plays there will be a quiz announcement last week. Me, Inoxu, I'll see you later. Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."

I turned off the mic and gave Remi headphones because he was going to record the names of quiz winners.

"Is that the story?" gia said as I sat next to her.

"Yes, hopefully the flower will tell you a story again huh? A sign that he is all right, "I replied to Gia.

Within fifteen minutes, Remi had finished reading out the names of the winners. After cleaning up all the equipment, we left the room and intended to join the others in the lounge right when Bang Win had just arrived. Immediately, I approached him.

"Beres broadcast?" tanyanya rattled my hair gently.

"I brought this," said Bang Win, holding a plastic in his hand and giving it to me.

I smiled happily to see the wet cakes in the box that Bang Win had brought. "Thank you, "I looked at him who was only replied with a nod. Not long after, he walked into the room and I approached the others with a box of wet cakes in hand.

While being casually chatting, there was a shout of Adul outside. Quickly, we ran to see. Adul was cut by several mothers picking tea leaves in a thrashing condition.

"Si ujang this was again the photos in the tea garden, continue to follow the mother of tea leaf metic. But for a long time even play with the group Tatang," explained one of them.

"Who's coming?" ask Kang Utep.

"That's RT sir's son, who likes to be drunk."

I immediately looked at Bang Win and remembered the five young men we met.

"Emak paid first, huh? This is guarded by his friend. It's got a cocoon of Tatang's."

"Yes, noahun?" sahut Kang Utep's. Adul himself sat on the grass.

"Adul! You are a pisan! Said not to play far away," joked Kang Utep.

"Yahoo! There's an ancol clown!" yelled Adule to see Kang Utep.

Everyone present laughed. Next Adul walked slowly to the park and lay his body on the grass that is still wet.

"What's up?" manya curious.

Adu looked at me, "Don't talk to me. I carpet the mosque."

"Haha!" Kang Utep laughed the loudest. Some sat down to watch Adul's next behavior.

As expected, not long after that Adul climbed into a chair in the park.

"Adul get off, fall down!" shout Gia.

"Nga! Adul wants a concert with a junior cowboy!" his reply.

Everyone present was still laughing at Adul's behavior when Bang Win approached Kang Utep and whispered something. Afterwards, Kang Utep went into the villa and came out shortly after with a glass that contained nothing.

Kang Utep scooped Adul held by all of us with the contents in the glass that I just found out was a raw egg.

"Geek!"

All dodged when Adul bowed and finally vomited. Afterwards, he sat down and looked at us one by one.

"Help woi!" pinta Kang Utep on the male broadcaster.

Adul himself has been invited in by the husband of Teh Opi to be cleaned and told to sleep.

"Cockmarks are a danger?" I asked Bang Win.

"Lumayan, we don't know how much Adul eats. But as far as I know, the effect of one small fruit can be one day and one night. That's why I told Utep to make Adul vomit, how to."

"Are you vomiting safe?" manya curious.

"Safe."

"Win did you know?" ask again.

"I used to almost do anything in order to ma*ti. Life is always passing around here and there it's scarier than kema*tian itself."

I was stunned to hear his words that slowly caused a pain in the heart.
