The Midnight Radio
Episode 5's

"Bad you two! I went back to the studio and went home, so I recorded a quiz for the listeners!" Gia sprayed me and Remi as soon as she arrived at the studio.

"I have a stomachache, it's so bad," Remi gave an excuse, her eyes fixed to my eyes.

"I was also picked up, so I forgot that the quiz session had not been set yet" I added.

"Laen time can't that? Sponsors will rampage their promo tablets forget we aired!"

"Yes-yes sorry." Me and Remi said together. We walked to each other's tables. Before I put on the headphones, I turned to look at the wall behind me and remembered the night where there was a voice that answered my greetings.

Gia sat in her chair and walked up to me slowly, "Xu, there's a challenge for you."

"What?" manya curious.

"You're broadcasting yourself, huh? A lot of advice goes into our whatsapp, and listeners say they want to know you're broadcasting alone."

"Brake-macem!" my sentakku. "Ngga willy-nilly! What do I think I'm brave?!"

"Ish don't want to rent! Kan saran aja it's mah, if you don't want to also do nothing," replied Gia.

"Will not!" my firmness.

"Yes, skip means." Gia returned to her desk by pushing the chair slowly. At first glance there was a strange sound as the wheels of the chair and floor rubbed. "Eh Xu."

"What else?" I raised my face.

"Kok the story that goes to us mostly horror huh?"

"Because we're broadcasting in the middle of the mall, Gia. This is the title of our program as well as the Story of Midnight. Yakali has listeners want to tell stories about love problems at midnight. It was already rich enough to suggest listeners, a rather horror title that made them scream horror stories. Why do you make such a rich title?" manya curious.

"Yes, at that time, all he thought about was the Story of Midnight. My expectations are rich cinderella. A romantic story that should end in the middle of the night."

"Yes, if it ends up being so romantic it's not the name, but tragic" I said.

"Yes, yeah? Yes, yes, listeners love it. Rating goes up, ads come in, pocket money goes up. Which is the pleasure of your Lord do you deny?"

"Yes-yes, whatever. Just don't have to challenge-challenge, make it sick," cut me fast.

"Stand by, oey!" remi said from his seat.

I turned back to face the monitor while glancing at Remi who was ready to give a cue.

"3,2,1, on water!"

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi. Inoxu from the 12.08FM Radio Rebel Bandung second-floor studio, The Story of Midnight is back on the air and is present to greet all listeners wherever they are. Listeners who want to share the story, can contact us to whatsapp number 081210969 with the format of the space name where the phone number space is active.

A show by Vanessa Carlton with A Thousand Miles will open this time. Stay tuned and make sure not to go anywhere before hearing the various stories we present."

The song enters my sense of hearing from the headphones I'm wearing. Remembering something, I opened my backpack and pulled out a drink and a packet of coffee sachets after turning off the mic and removing the headphones.

"Well, Inoxu's gonna have a coffee!" chirps Gia.

"Woyadong, this is good coffee," I said slowly as I stood up and headed outside the studio. A few minutes later, I went back in with hot coffee.

Gia was seen taking out a large tablet from her bag.

"Oh, the new tablet!" myrag.

"Woyadong, make this work."

I nodded my head and went back to my desk to contact the chosen sources. Not long after, I returned to wearing my headphone and prepared after seeing Remi give me a cue.

"Welcome to join me to the new listeners. Tonight we are already connected to a source who is ready to share the story. Huh hello? Please introduce yourself."

"Hello, Inoxu Tea. My name is Entin. Commonly called Ceu Entin," said a voice at the end of the joint.

"The mango, Ceu Entin," I invite you.

"I'm actually sending a message to the Story of Midnight not because I want to share the story, Inoxu Tea."

[Xu! Watch out, don't be weird] I spell in the heart.

"Ok-ok," I replied by moving my lips.

"I want to tea nyeritain the source who was told on this radio, Teh. The nurse, Teh Kiran, if it's not wrong?"

"Sunday Ceu," I said.

"Well that's it. The nurse's ngekost in one of the houses, close to my house."

"Oh so Eceu's neighbor Teh Karin? Greetings or yes, from Inoxu that," I said spontaneously.

"Teteh is a joke. It may be tea. The man whose name was Karin died a year ago."

Bhulu! I who was sitting around in circles in my chair immediately spouted out the coffee I had just sipped. "Eceu don't joke!"

"Really, Tea. Ceu Entin did not joke. Therefore, there is a source whose name is Karin, from Cibiru, Eceu immediately send a message to Whatsapp number."

"Oh, I got this dizzy right away, Ceu. You mean the Karin of satanic tea?" my many.

Brak! I flinched as Gia kicked the table. Remi shook his head slowly from his seat at the end of the studio room.

"Maybe Tea. Clearly, in my house, the other mothers are hotter to negosipin this. They are also listeners of the Story of Midnight and shocked pas denger. I'm in shock."

"Si Karin is a nurse, right? At the hospital XXX?" ask again.

"Tea ointment, and the hospital has been closed since the pandemic. So it's not operating anymore" replied Ceu Entin. "So the story goes, Karin's workplace hospital was tea closed since the pandemic and many nurses were in the house. His sister, Karin, was one of Covid's victims."

"Oh died of a pandemic."

"Yes Tea" said Ceu Entin. "Honestly, tea, we're here in fear. Sempet thought it was someone else, but from the voice and also the workplace, it can be ascertained if it's the Karin tea we know."

"Is it possible for a prankster, Ceu? You see, Karin when the story here said she still works in the hospital, and still takes care of patients." I can as much as possible withstand the fear that is starting to spread.

"Yes, it could be, later deh Eceu sent the phone number Karin who lives here. The hostess' mother is still nyimpen. If different, there is a possibility of different people. But if the same ...," said Ceu Entin disconnected.

"If the same, means that the story here is the spirit of Karin?" my connection.

"Astagfireullah! The Inoxu!" I heard Remi's voice.

"It could be tea. I'm sorry Tea, it's not about nakutin, but Eceu and the mothers here are curious. When someone dies, make hape keeps calling the radio" Ceu Entin said softly.

"Yes, nothing, Ceu. Make the information." I decided to end the conversation. Talking about people who may have died makes time go by so quickly.

"Together, Inoxu Tea."

I made sure on the monitor that the phone line was disconnected and then spoke again in front of the mic. "Wow, a fact that is quite surprising huh listeners? Confused me too, what to say. Just what Ceu Entin said just now makes me wonder."

[Do not start, Xu!"] Write Gia on the tablet.

"I wonder if the person named Karin is dead. If so, I can talk here with me. In addition, if people are idiots, what is the intention. Oh, yes, don't know me. The confusion and fear are now mixed into one. One song from Navicula with the Rainbow closes the encounter this time. Thank you for joining us, and have a good rest for all the listeners. Inoxu and the whole team please leave. The Story of Midnight 12.08FM Radio Rebel Bandung. Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."

I turned off the mic and put my head on the table. I don't know why tonight's broadcast feels so creepy.

"Back yuk?" gia said relax. I took off my headphones and cleaned up my personal belongings.

"There's a message coming in" Remi said.

Gia and I approached Remi's desk and gasped as she read a message from Ceu Entin that read Karin's phone number. The number is exactly the same as the number Karin who became the source in the Story of Midnight some time ago.

Brak!

The sound of things falling inside the room shocked the three of us. I who was in a ready position immediately took a swing to escape.

"Where are you going, Xu!? Solider dong! Wait for Remi to finish," Gia said quietly and blocked my hand. I who have resigned can only shut up and look at my hands that are in the grasp of Gia.

The lightning-quick remi tidied up her personal belongings as a soft laugh was heard by the three of us. Without warning, Gia immediately took off my hand and ran first, leaving me and Remi still in the studio.
