The Midnight Radio
Episode 54

This morning the atmosphere at Radio Rebel was quite crowded. The broadcasters and radio employees jointly prepared the event for the donation of the Cianjur earthquake natural disaster. Several men work together to create a stage where musicians play music located in the Radio Rebel parking lot. Fortunately, the location of Radio Rebel is in the Dutch residential area in the past with many shady trees on the right left of the road so that the stage is in the shade.

The rest of the people, busy preparing a booth for Radio Rebel partner vendors who regularly advertise on almost all programs. They donate some products such as instant coffee, instant drinks, instant noodles, packaged snacks, bread and also t-shirts and jackets, to be sold to the general public and the results will be donated fully.

Musicians and public figures who will appear alternately today there are as many as six people. The implementation time starts after the dhuhur time and ends before the magrib.

One of the public figures who are planned to attend is a doctor who also doubles as a celebrity or celebrity Tiktok. In the application, this doctor has a large number of followers because the content shared is not far from the world of health.

"Xu, help Teteh nyiapin the waiting room guest star yuk?" take Teh Hani while I'm busy putting up the booth.

"Tea May, I settle this first huh? Just go first, I'll follow you."

I rushed to finish my work and headed straight to the meeting room that had been transformed as a waiting room. Sofa, carpet, complete with bean bag is neatly arranged.

"Died order food equals drink. What kind of pesen is that?" teh Hani asked confusedly.

"Is there a special request?" askaku. Not without reason I asked. Sometimes guests invited to fill an event ask for a special menu for food or drinks. Some are quite fussy but many also leave everything to the organizers.

"One from Kartika. He asked Je-ko for a box of doughnuts filled with all the almonds."

"Beres," I said as I pulled out the phone to take notes.

"Inoxu Tea Halow, Jeng Merlin is coming," the voice coming from behind made me turn around instantly.

"Mang Krishna?" I just don't believe it. Kang Krisna was the husband of Teh Opi who was currently smiling broadly at me.

"Yoy! What kind of oil makes you sick?" suddenly tanyanya.

"Where there is," I said short.

"That's it! Oil you smile. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Opi Tea and Hani Tea laugh out loud.

"Ah! Very nice, wear a disguise so Jeng Merlin," I glanced cynically.

"Opi told you," replied Kang Krisna grimacing.

The four of us moved back to prepare the waiting room until it was not felt already approaching dhuhur.

"Break up, eat, pray" said Bang Win standing in the doorway. "Oxu what do you want to eat?"

"Nasi padang," I answered while putting up a tablecloth.

"Yes, hayu. Want to eat out or eat out? The stage is done, the children can rest," explained Bang Win.

"Outside ajalah yes. I'd like to take a doughnut."

He nodded and waited for me to finish the rest of the work, before we both walked out of Radio Rebel.

"Teh," call Adul.

"Naon? I love to know, if you call," I said turning.

"Adul makes you groggy?"

"No! If Adul calls it a sign that something is not right," my lyrics are cynical.

"Ish Teteh mah's. Adul just wanted to say, the doctor selebtok wanted to see Teteh. He said he was a Teteh fan on the broadcast of the Story of Midnight."

"Times?" I just don't believe it.

"Yes. In fact, he said he really wanted to be able to participate in the broadcast, share the story in the Story of Midnight."

"Wih, cool anyway. Pull it up, Xu," Gia chimed in.

"Yes Xu! That's a great doctor. Oh, God is so!" added Remi.

"Who can, rarely do any celebrities want to participate in other programs other than music programs or podcasts" I reply.

"Yes!" exclaim Gia and Remi together.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, The Story of Midnight is back on the air with me, Inoxu from the 12.08FM second floor studio Radio Rebel Bandung. With me tonight there is a special speaker. Why special? Because he is a doctor, public figure, celebrity Tiktok and also Instagram. Who her? Eits, hold on! One song from Linkin Park with Crawling I will play first before talking to our special speakers. Make the curious, stay tuned and do not go anywhere."

I turned off the mic and stared at Adul who was looking back at me with a face of a predator. A few moments ago, the broadcast that was going to be done by me and Adul failed instantly because Abo's doctor as the source refused Aoul to participate and only wanted to be interviewed by me.

"Teh Inoxu, I'm really ngefans. Abis broadcast can be photos together?" ask doctor Abo.

I looked doubtfully at Bang Win with his flat face and cold eyes, before nodding doubtfully, "May a doctor."

"Don't call the doctor, we won't be in the hospital. Call me Aa" he said again.

I just nodded and shifted the chair I was sitting in, slightly away. Bang Win was seen many times staring intently at the figure of the doctor next to me.

"Well, that's what he's Crawling from Linkin Park. Linkin Park is one of my favorite bands since school. Very cool anyway! Welcome to the listeners who have just joined. And no need to linger anymore, I will talk to doctor Abo who has been present as a source in the Story of Midnight this time. How's the doctor doing?"

"If you may know, now which hospital?"

"At the XYZ hospital. Famous private hospital in Bandung city. The subscriptions are of celebrities and artists."

"Cool," I responded. "In addition to being a doctor. Doctor Abo is also an influencer, selebtok and selebgram huh?"

"Yes dong! I am not a science stingy. Yes, even though the knowledge I get is not free. But because I am compassionate, I share a little medical science that I have. That's why I'm so famous on Tiktok and Instagram."

"How many of his followers, Doc?" I started to wonder.

"lots. So much that I forgot. Probably half the population of Indonesia."

"Well, that's cool! There is an experience that can not be avoided doc, as long as a doctor?" I held back the annoyance that inexplicably started to rise.

"Obviously there. My name is doctor, right? I have met all kinds of patients. From the mild to the gravely ill. Each patient gave me a new experience. So there is no special experience that can not be avoided. Just ordinary."

"Oh that," I nodded. "And doctors in hospitals that some people think are haunted. Have you ever had a horror experience?"

"Song dong. I am a very realistic person. So don't believe that. Fortunately, I have never done it myself."

"But are there a lot of scary stories?"

"That's a story only exaggerated by cowards. There is no such thing as a demon that can disturb humans. If there is, here! I want to meet you later I'll make a coffee."

I flinched and quickly turned my head towards Doctor Abo who was still sitting leisurely. "Doctors will know, if in every IGD there is a very taboo sentence to say. Since it was said, the thing that would happen was the exact opposite of the sentence."

"Oh, is it forbidden to say that IGD is deserted?" tanyakanya.

"Yes. Well here too the same. There are taboo sentences to say because the things that will happen will be exactly like the words."

"What time?" ask again. I heard a curious tone in his voice.

"Yes. And the doctor mentioned that sentence instead" I chuckled. My eyes glanced at Adul who was typing something on his phone. Not long after, my phone vibrated at the sign of an incoming message.

"Oh, what I said is that if there is a demon here, would I like to meet and make coffee?" doctor Abo continued to ask.

"Yes," I answered short and slowly played my finger on the phone.

[OK] type. Send!

"Teh Inoxu is still a colot? Believe that," continued Doctor Abo.

I just laughed to hear it, "And every place has its own story."

"Yes, but I don't believe it. If it does exist, I order dong, the demon is beautiful. The one who sings if he can," he chuckles.

I smiled back and nodded slowly. My eyes looked towards Remi, Gia, and Bang Win who were slowly walking out of the studio.

"Order is ready to be delivered," I said.

"What, Inoxu Tea?" doctor Abo looked at me in astonishment.

"Religious. Nothing at all. Doctor, thank you so much for being present in the Story of Midnight. Thank you for participating in the donation event. Hope not kapok huh?"

"Relax Inoxu Tea, I will not be kapok if invited to broadcast. Especially the same beautiful Inoxu Tea," he replied.

"Hahaha, the doctor can. Yak listener all, that's my talk with doctor Abo. Thank you for bringing us to the end of the broadcast. Inoxu and the team please leave. Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."

I turned off the mic and took off the headphones while Dr. Abo himself took his phone and asked me to take a picture together.

"Lingsir wengi ...."

"Eh, who's that singing, Tea?" Doctor Abo suddenly lowered his hand which was holding a mobile phone. His head looked around the studio and found that there was only Adul sitting there.

"Cock female voice huh? Though Teteh no longer sing," he said again.

"Oh, that's the waiter here. I told you, be careful doctor. There is also a taboo sentence to say. Look at it." I pointed towards Adul with my chin.

Doctor Abo's bulging eyes were clearly visible to me as he stared at Adul who was already resting on the floor and sang the song lingsir wengi with an increasingly loud voice.

"The man entered the residents here because the doctor said he wanted acquaintance and coffee," I said in a soft voice and held a smile.

I still held back a smile as I watched Doctor Abo's expression as Adu suddenly approached towards us with a quick suck on the floor.

Brak!

I violently stood up, then ran towards the studio door leaving Doctor Abo with Adul who had hugged his leg tightly.

"Steak! A trick! Help u! Inoxu tea! Help!" doctor Abo shouted hysterically.

Gubrak gubrak!

Out of curiosity, I turned right in front of the studio door and saw Adul who was now sitting on the lap of Doctor Abo while shaking the poor man's shoulder.

"Huhahah!" Laughing, I opened the door and walked out of the studio.

"Good coffee together, Neng kemben," I said before walking to the stairs while remembering the plan that I and Adul arranged through whatsaap when it was broadcast. Of course with the knowledge of Gia, Remi and Bang Win.
