The Midnight Radio
Episode 76's

"Whoi, Xu! Lemes is the way. Going back to Jakarta, Bang Win" said Remi, patting my shoulder hard.

"Ish you mah, sick tau, Rem!" I patted her shoulder too.

"Yes, I noticed from earlier the road was slow pisan. Kaya has no spirit of life," continued Remi.

I chuckle. "Absolutely bad at talking."

"Patience, Bang Win will go home when the time comes," Remi added with a annoying smile.

"Yes know. Noh see," I replied while pointing to a point with my chin.

"Ah well, kirain is still a long time home. It's just here, it turns out," he said.

"Your personal!" greet Aful while waving her way from the entrance.

"Get in first, yak? You are here, wait for Bang Win" Remi said as he walked away from me.

I nodded and noticed Bang Win who had just got off the car. Instead of approaching me, he waved and asked me to come closer.

"Bring up some souvenirs?" ask directly.

Bang Win chuckled at my question. He slowly pulled and told me to get in the car before finally hugging me tightly and kissing me lightly. Without speaking, he gave a small paper bag with a jewelry brand on the front.

"Make me?" I asked wrong behavior.

"Yes" he answered short.

My eyes sparkled at the strand of a necklace with a tiny pendant in hand. Without saying much, Bang Win put the necklace together.

"Likes?" tanyakanya.

I nodded assentingly while touching the necklace that was attached to my neck. After being satisfied, Bang Win invited me down from the car while carrying souvenirs.

"Came, Win. Kirain was at home in Jakarta," said Kang Utep as soon as he saw me and Bang Win entered.

"At home if Oxu comes along," Bang Win replied casually. He put the things he brought on the table. Hani Tea and Opi Tea who happened to still not come home, stared at him sparkling.

"Frequently Kang Saija went out of town deh Win. Mayan came home with a lot of souvenirs." Opi Tea winked its eyes at me.

"Males," Bang Win continued as he sat down.

"Tea Opi equals Teh Hani tumben is still here?" my many.

"Offline Record, Xu. Ordinary, the names of quiz winners from vendors," replied Teh Opi.

I nodded my head and stared at Adul who was busy chewing food. "Hayu broadcast," take me to her and Remi.

"But a minute, Tea. It's a drag, it's hard to swallow," he replied with a clear face.

Ten minutes later, Adul finished his meal and walked with me and Remi upstairs.

"This connection is a bit unstable huh, Xu?" remi asked suddenly just after I sat down in the broadcast chair.

"Shortly, I check first" I said, staring at the monitor and checking. "Yes, a little down. Why yes? Kang Utep didn't say anything? He was broadcasting."

"Religious. Kang Utep said nothing. If there is a problem, he usually likes to say," Remi replied.

"Behold, Adu asked Kang Utep first," said Adul while rushing outside the studio.

Not long after, he returned together with Kang Utep and Bang Win.

"Yes it's a bit down our signal," said Kang Utep staring at Bang Win.

"Can't the broadcast?" ask Bang Win back.

"It can, but maybe our voices are dashed by the radio listeners," replied Kang Utep.

"You want to try a broadcast?" bang Win looked at me.

I'm nodding. "Yes, there's a list of last week's quiz winners."

"She tried broadcasting. Later if there is a problem, please tell me," continued Kang Utep.

I immediately checked the readiness of the mic and headphones after Bang Win and Kang Utep left the studio. Within minutes, the opening music of the Midnight Story program was heard.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi. Inoxu and Adu were present to greet the listeners all from the second-floor studio The Story of Midnight 12.08FM Radio Rebel Bandung. Sorry for the late broadcast, because there was just a little trouble in the studio. While waiting for our speakers, one song request Adinda Putri from Anima with Bintang will accompany the listeners all. Stay tuned and don't go anywhere."

I turned off the mic and saw Adul who had just contacted our source. After asking him to wait for a moment, Adul pressed the hold button and turned to me.

"Yes, yes, yes, first. The effect of the signal is rich," I began to feel anxious.

After the song that played almost ended. I asked Adul to get ready in front of the mic.

"That's Anima with the Stars, yeah gaes huh? Welcome to all of you who have just joined 12.08FM. Let's not over time, let's just say a source of our story tonight. Huh hello? With whom where?" ask Adul.

"Hello Kang Adul's. This is Kunthi in Batunggal."

Me, Adul and Remi looked at each other for a while.

"The one who uses T-H? What if you call it the tongue has to go up to the back of the upper teeth?" manya curious.

"Dad, Inoxu Tea is still bad!" the cry sounds gleeful.

"Yes inget it! It was there who sent his friends to come here," ketus Adul.

"Hihihihi, Kang Adu was a coward apparently," Kunthi replied.

"Hiih, Tea. His laughter was rich, " whispered Adul turned to me.

"Teh Kunthi wants to talk again?" ask me to divert those misgivings.

"You want a story dong, Tea," Kunthi replied quickly.

"Mango," I'm inviting.

"Seven years ago when I graduated from junior high school, I had an accident. At that time, my school held a farewell by going to Yogyakarta. Unfortunately, just as my friends were enjoying our visit, I had an accident, right on a famous beach.

I got carried away by the waves and drowned in that moment. Some of the people who tried to save me had a hard time because the waves were suddenly enlarged. That's why it took me a long time before I was finally saved. Because of that, too, I fell into a coma."

"Commentary length?" ask Adul.

"One year" Kunthi replied. "I just found out if I was in a coma for that long after I realized. Family and friends did not expect me to wake up again, because even the doctor himself had raised his hand with my condition.

They were all happy and happy for me. But that doesn't apply to me personally. From the moment I came to my senses from the coma, I could see everything that normal people could not see.

Family and friends thought I was gi*la because I hit my head. And no, I could clearly see the subtle-creatures and could communicate with them. My new habit of talking to myself further corroborates their assumptions if I am gi*la.

Slowly everyone began to move away, he was afraid. Because I did not have any more friends, in the end I became friends with the subtle creatures, one of them with who visited Radio Rebel to meet Kang Adul."

"That's a great bummer" cried Adul. "Tell me the same, don't come here again! Nyebelin tau. The half-body devil! Ca*cat!"

"God! It's a mouth!" I said annoyed while squeezing Adul's lips hard. "Learners don't know that Kunthi is a demon. He thinks you're maki-maki man!"

Adul turned his back and immediately patted his forehead hard. "Duh, Adul forgot," he lamented.

"There's more going on, Kunthi?" tanyaku carefully.

"Ngga tea, that's all. Ask for Sandekala from Risa Saraswati? Makasi loh, want to call Kunthi again. The drug!"

"Kunthi drug, makasi also already want a story," I reply before turning off the connection.

"That was Kunthi in Batununggal with a story about his experience during his farewell to Yogyakarta. One song Kunthi requests from Risa Saraswati with Sandekala, will be the cover of the Story of Midnight this time. Inoxu, Adul and team pamit, wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

I turned off the mic and took off the headphones slowly. Quickly, my sense of hearing caught the noise from outside. Many people were shouting and talking in high tones. Adul and Gia who had also just taken off their headphones, looked at me confusedly.

Brak!

The studio door opens and features the figure of Teh Hani. "Cepet out! The transmitter tower burned down and almost collapsed!"

Those of us who heard that immediately rushed outside from the studio after picking up their respective bags and personal items. On the first floor, thick smoke was already seen covering the view, but we were able to find the exit easily.

"Win' bang with the others where, Tea?" ask me on the Opi Tea that is already standing in front of Radio Rebel. Residents were seen to be helping out, with a bucket filled with water.

"Still in the back, Xu! Earlier Win same Utep nyoba madamin api use APAR (light fire extinguisher) in the help of residents," replied Teh Opi anxious.

I looked frantically at the growing flames on the back of the Radio Rebel building. Before long, Bang Win and Kang Utep were seen coming out from the side.

The slow pan I caught from Bang Win made my heart melt instantly, especially as the flames grew larger and slowly crept forward.

Bang Win's hand grip felt tight. My eyes glazed over as the Radio Rebel building slowly disappeared, replaced by an ever-greater blaze.
