Radio Broadcast Midnight 2
Episode 21

I stepped gontai following Teh Opi who walked into the announcer's room. This afternoon, we will hold a special meeting of broadcasters, to change the daily broadcast schedule. This was a direct order from Bang Win, to make the program broadcast the Story of Midnight can be recorded off the water in the afternoon, although to be aired at midnight.

The reason is, recording directly or on water in the middle of the night, is quite risky for my condition who is pregnant young and needs more time to rest.

"Which study was about an hour and a half low, for the recording process off the water Story of Midnight?" tanya Teh Opi on Teh Hani, opened the conversation.

Teh Hani is in charge of making the broadcast schedule, staring at the large whiteboard hung on the wall, and also the laptop in front of him.

"It can be on the same day as the Story of Midnight. Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, eight o'clock at night, in studio three" Teh Hani replied.

"If it's afternoon or evening, isn't there an empty studio?" ask Opi Tea again.

"There's no, Tea. Almost all of our broadcasts are on air, so every studio has their own schedule. If you want to enter the Story of Midnight in the schedule off the water during the day or afternoon, it means having to reshuffle all the daily schedule of the broadcaster, because there will definitely be another broadcast that must be off the water, and then there will be another broadcast, will clash. Unless the studio can be used. Aman it's me making a tape off the water anytime."

Opi tea looked at me who was sleepy on the chair. "Xu, if it's eight o'clock, nothing?" tanyakanya.

"Ga problem, Tea. Middle broadcast malem also no real problem," I replied softly.

"Woyajangan! Danger for pregnant women," he replied.

"A lot of demons huh, Tea?" ask Adul.

"Yes there must be a disturbance from the jinn. Let alone pregnant women, ordinary people do not escape from temptation and interference. But most of all, the Inoxu's resting hour. Not a lot of good activities, afraid of his health ngedrop."

Everyone present nodded.

"Try Han, please look at it once more. If the Story of Midnight dapet studio to record off the water in the morning, can not you think?" pinta Tea Opi. "On the sidelines of other air broadcasts also no problem."

Teh Hani stared fixedly at her laptop screen for a while, before finally shaking her head. "There's no more studio schedules empty, all full. Just like I said, studio's three hours 8 malems."

"Okay if that's the case, Teteh will tell Win. Gia, Remi, Inoxu and Adul, from today all the way to the future, off the water huh? Eight o'clock mallem, studio three. Make it appear later mallem at eleven to half an hour in the morning, right on the same day as the screening of the Story of Midnight," Teh Opi asserted.

"Yes Teh" I said, followed by Gia, Remi and Adul.

"Okay if that is it! Make a lot of decisions, make time. Welcome back," continued Teh Opi closed the meeting. Me and the Midnight Story team went straight to the pantry for a drink, as there was a commotion from the terrace.

"Liat ah, Adul likes it when there is a commotion," murmured Adule left me, Gia and Remi at the pantry door. Seeing him who was curious, made me also want to know, so that it caught up with him not long later.

"Xu!"

"Ox!"

Remi and Gia's call was ignored, and I continued to step towards the front, where three men in stout stature wearing black-black clothes were arguing with Opi Tea and Hani Tea.

"Udah said, Kang Saija has not worked here," said Teh Hani.

"Don't want to know! Saija applied for a loan with this office as workplace information. If he can't pay, this office has to replace him pay!" said one of them with a snarl.

I took a breath and let it out repeatedly, annoyed at the arrogant behavior of the three people.

"Everything if Mr. Saija can't pay his loan, this office has to pay! Otherwise, we can throw him in jail!"

"Where's the rules from?" as relax. "The only thing related to this office is, the name of this office is listed as information where Kang Saija works as a customer. What's the filing, you guys verify here? Naw, right? What's the post disbursement, this office is part? Not really, right? So now this office must continue what has never been recorded? The dream!

In addition, there has never been a debt transfer or hiatus agreement, from Kang Saija to this office! So, if you come here because of the fear of all of us who are here bo*doh and can be feared, you are wrong! Here it is all broadcasters, want us to be viralin so that your cooperative which in fact is a land leech, famous everywhere? Wanna?" I looked at the three of them with a look of disdain. "Neither, do it."

"Yes want to come stay dateng, do not use announcements. Debt collector's! Coolest dude!" reply spicy.

"Xu, Xu already. Inget son Xu. Don't get too emotional" Opi tea reminds. I just nodded and sat on the sofa. When I saw the mango tree in the yard, my saliva melted at once imagining a plate of rujak.

***

"Why eat rujak? Have you eaten rice, Yank?" asked Bang Win who had just come, and crouched down in front of me.

"In order not to eat rice" I answered short. "Bang Win abis from the police station, where else?"

Bang Win stood up and sat down next to me. This morning he told me he was going to the police station. For what I know, I don't know either.

"Someone wants me to tell you. But, I'd like to ask you a favor, okay?" he said softly while looking at me. I looked back at him, before finally nodding.

***

All Radio Rebel crews, including broadcasters, employees and office girls, have gathered in the meeting room.

"Xu! What the hell, Bang Win asked us to gather?" ask Teh Hani.

"Lack of tau, Tea. He said he was just asking for help to catch all the crew here."

"Where is Bang Win?" Opi Tea asked.

"To the outside for a moment with Kang Utep. But where, I don't know either."

Not long after, it was seen that Bang Win and Kang Utep entered the meeting room with tense faces, making everyone present fall silent and look at the two with wondering eyes.

"Make all the friends, already want to take the time to be here," said Bang Win opened the conversation. "So morning, Utep and I went to the police station."

Some of those present stared at each other a sign of not understanding.

"To retract the report of the inquiry request, the cause of the old Radio Rebel office fire. For additional information, a few days ago, Utep and I met with Kang Saija at a hospital, while looking at the owner of one of the vendors.

From that meeting, we both know the background of Kang Saija doing this to the old office. Kang Saija's mother is being treated in hospital for severe illness and costs a lot to undergo several therapies and surgeries.

Previously, Kang Saija himself had sold several assets he owned, including borrowing from several cooperatives, until finally he was in debt. That's why, Kang Saija is desperate to do that."

Everyone present had sad faces, and some looked teary-eyed. During this time, Kang Saija is known as a person who is kind and friendly to anyone.

"All we've told Rebel Tea. And Teh Rebel felt, if Kang Saija was already very sorry. The regret, which became the harshest punishment for Kang Saija. That's why, this morning we pulled out the police report.

Moreover, because what Kang Saija did was based on his responsibility as a child to his parents. Teh Rebel decides to reject Kang Saija's resignation as one of the owners of Radio Rebel, and returns the shares that Kang Saija has given up in exchange for the old office fire. That's why, today, Utep and I picked up Kang Saija, and asked her to come here to meet us all," bang Win continued at length before he got up and walked towards the meeting room door.

"Please enter Kang, the Akang family is waiting," said Bang Win softly after opening the door.

From the outside of the door, I saw the figure of Kang Saija coming in, and looked at all of us with an expression I had a hard time explaining. He hugged Bang Win tightly, then cried when all the male announcers approached him to give a hug or just a pat on the shoulder to strengthen.

"Welcome back, Kang," said Kang Utep to welcome Kang Saija, followed by others.

I myself have shed tears with Opi Tea, Hani Tea, Gia, Remi and Kokom. At this moment, I realized something. Men cry for two things. The first thing, when the burden of his life feels increasingly heavy to be carried on the shoulders. The second thing, when regret is so deep, that it causes a pain that will only be healed by time. And I saw both of those things, experienced by Kang Saija.
