Radio Broadcast Midnight 2
Episode 29's

"It's eungap euy!" I complained as soon as I got to the terrace.

Bang Win who was following behind me just chuckled. "Well, there are two babies in the room."

I just sit and sit on the couch. We just got home from the hospital, to have my womb checked, which turned out to be almost four months old and twins. Because my body is small, even though I am young, it has begun to look if my stomach starts to round.

"Kliyengan ngga? Can I just anter home?" ask Bang Win again who is sitting next to me. "Let Adul, Gia same Remi that broadcast."

"Gga ah, bosen at home," I replied shortly.

"Do you want to follow my mom with Nyx to Jakarta?" ask again.

"Gga ah, males a long way." I glanced at Bang Win who was still looking at me fixedly and just chuckled.

"Weis, why pregnant? Really lemes? Belom lunch yak?" asked Kang Utep who had just come out looking at me fixedly. "Win, Inoxu isn't going on broadcast leave just yet?"

"No!" cut me firmly. "Akutu yes Kang, if at home even confused to say what. Not even cape kok if the broadcast mah, people just sit doang."

"That's Tep, it's self, right?" connect Bang Win, who responded to the nod by Kang Utep.

"Enak ya Teh, if studio one already can be made rich gini. We are free to broadcast off the air at what time," said Adul. Today, we are indeed planning to broadcast in the afternoon. That's why, not long after I got to Radio Rebel about an hour ago, Adu, Gia and Remi came. Gia herself headed straight to the broadcast room to attend a special meeting of the broadcast program producers.

"Don't be smirked!" sambar Gia who just came out and sat on the terrace sofa. "The result of the meeting has just been decided if the schedule will return to the beginning, because there are some broadcasters who have to comeback the broadcast of Teh Hani," said Gia.

"So we'll be on water again in the middle of the mall?" ask Remi.

"Religious. Drop off the water, but at eight o'clock the mallem. The problem is, we're short of broadcasters. As a result, other broadcasters who have held many broadcast programs, must take turns to replace Teh Hani. They must broadcast their respective programs, continue to broadcast additional programs off the water Teh Hani which there are four. That's why the studio schedule is full" explained Gia.

Already from a long time Radio Rebel opened a vacancy for the position of broadcaster. Unfortunately, to this day there have been no suitable criteria found, although many applicants have come.

"Hani Tea isn't cured yet?" many wonder.

"Belom, still like the fry. Said Teh Opi mah, the same family would be taken to the pesantren to be healed, and all deepen religious knowledge."

Me, Adul and Remi just nodded silently.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi. Good evening I say to all loyal listeners Story of Midnight Radio Rebel Bandung 12.08FM. Inoxu and Adu are back to accompany the rest of the listeners all with the story that comes from the source. A song by Sia's Imas Darmawan with Unstoppable, his greetings to my beloved family, will open our story tonight. So, stay tuned and don't go anywhere."

I turned off the mic and waited for Adul who was contacting the listeners of the Midnight Story, who would be the source. Before long, it sounded if he asked someone at the end of the connection to wait for a moment.

"Enakeun ya gaes ya, a song from Sia with unstoppable. Yes Walopun Aduul does not understand the meaning, but the wealth is good it is horrified. Yak, our sources are all on the other end of the phone, let's say hello. A halow? Who and where is this?"

"Hello Kang Adu, Inoxu Tea, this is Elva Ardila in Kopo."

"Hello Tea Elva, what story to share with the listener?" ask Adul.

"The story of my uwak experience in the village, Kang."

"Okay, mango Tea Elva," I welcome.

"So, the story goes, uwak I just came home from kebon. Because almost magrib, he mutusin make by alternative way so more cepet. Well, on the way home, he melewatin settlement whose house is on the obsolete. Uwak I was surprised, because this time it was a lonely settlement, but did not think strangely, because he had just passed again on the alternative road. Almost all houses are built of woven bamboo and in dark conditions without lights, except for one house that looks nice and brightly lit. On the porch of the house, sat a woman who greeted my uwak. His name is in the village of mah ya Teh, Kang, do not know also definitely called."

"Yes, really, as long as it passes in front of the house, walopun does not know, definitely on the harp," replied Adul.

"The woman told me to stop by because I want magrib, and here, uwak I nuh aja. He stopped by and asked the woman who owned the house, the name of the village, and it was answered that the village was a regional expansion village.

Well, while waiting for adzan magrib, the woman gave treats, cakes and tea water. Only, of all the treats, there is one treat that is forbidden to eat. He said it was a result of debt. Uwak I said, nothing even if you owe, which is important later paid. It's weird, Tea, Kang. Not to be eaten but treated."

"Yes, if you can't eat, then you shouldn't have to be treated, right?" askaku.

"Yes. In short, off magrib, uwak I say goodbye to go home and thank you very much for the banquet. Pas already walk about five hundred meters while guiding a bicycle, uwak only realized if his caping missed. Because it is not too far away, uwak I intend to return to the woman's house earlier, and even shocked myself."

"Why?" ask Adul.

"Kang Adul want to know or want to know?" ask Teh Elva back.

"Ish, quizzed even that," Adul murmured.

"Hahaha, Kang said. So, uwak I was shocked because I did not see any house in the place he just passed. There's even a Public Funeral Park or TPU."

"Wow," my chirps started goosebumps. Suddenly, I felt that the air in the studio was getting colder than usual. Gia and Remi seemed to feel the same way as well, as both of them rushed to put on their respective jackets.

"Yes Tea. And my Uwak caping is in one of the new looking tombs. After waking up, my uwak immediately ran away on a bicycle after taking a caping. The reason is, he even clasped a motorbike right on the road and was taken to the same puskesmas that crashed."

"It could be, Kang. It's called panic because of fear, right?" reply Elva Tea.

"But Tea, I was wrong to focus on those words" I said. "That ngasi tau uwakannya Teteh, if you do not eat one treat because of the credit card. That's rich pesen no hell? The normal channel mah, if you are not allowed to eat, yes do not be treated. But this is still being treated."

"Yes, really," Adul continued. "Any thing too?"

"Pas turned out to be the woman's house as a tomb, I think it was the woman's tomb, right? So think also, maybe the woman will show that the debt was brought to death," I added.

"Yes, too, Tea?" sahut Elva Tea. "Kaya ngasi know, if as much as possible do not 'eat' the debt, because if it has not been paid off, it is brought to death."

"Well, yeah. But don't know, this is a big assumption," I chimed in again. "Yes the point, be careful with debt. Whether big or small, debt remains debt, and will be held accountable."

"That's great, Tea. Agree me mah," continued Teh Elva, then silent for a moment. "That's the most story from me. Many stories have been told."

"Make it back for the story, Tea. Always healthy," I replied, before it was seen that Elva Tea broke the connection.

"That's the great story of Elva Tea. Hopefully, all those who heard the story just now can take the positive side. One ending song, will Adu play, request Sekti Muryani from Melly Goeslaw with Mother, the message, again kangen very same late mother. Hopefully the song can be a little bit nervousin kangennya yes Teh Sekti? Finally, Adul, Inoxu Tea and the Midnight Story team say goodbye first. Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Adul went on to close the broadcast.

Immediately, Adul turned off the mic and removed the headphones, after which the song was played.

“𝙆𝙪 𝙉𝙮𝙖𝙞 𝙧𝙚𝙠 𝙙𝙞𝙗𝙖𝙬𝙖, 𝙣𝙮𝙖𝙠? (𝙊𝙡𝙚𝙝 𝙉𝙮𝙖𝙞 𝙢𝙖𝙪 𝙙𝙞𝙗𝙖𝙬𝙖, 𝙮𝙖?)”

I tilted my head and sighed softly when I heard an unfamiliar voice, after removing the headphones.

“𝙉𝙪 𝙜𝙚𝙪𝙡𝙞𝙨 𝙟𝙚𝙪𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙪 𝙠𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙥 𝙗𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙗𝙖𝙬𝙖 𝙠𝙪 𝙉𝙮𝙖𝙞. (𝙔𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙠 𝙙𝙖𝙣 𝙘𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙥 𝙖𝙠𝙖𝙣 𝙙𝙞𝙗𝙖𝙬𝙖 𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙝 𝙉𝙮𝙖𝙞)”

"Hayu ah home! Adul wants to make an agreement to the mallem market with Kekey," said Adul who made me realize.

"Cie, there's the same Kekey approach," Gia teased. He and Remi were already holding their bags in each other's hands.

"Wood, Xu?" take Remi who made me nod and pocket the phone. The clock showed almost magrib, and I had to wait for Bang Win to finish working for at least two more hours. We walked out of the studio in silence.

"We're going home, Xu! Assalamualaikum," Gia's pampit is followed by Adul and Remi walks away. I myself breathed my body on the porch sofa and pulled out a cell phone.

“𝙋𝙤𝙠𝙤𝙣𝙖 𝙠𝙪 𝙉𝙮𝙖𝙞 𝙧𝙚𝙠 𝙙𝙞𝙗𝙖𝙬𝙖! (𝙋𝙤𝙠𝙤𝙠𝙣𝙮𝙖 𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙝 𝙉𝙮𝙖𝙞 𝙢𝙖𝙪 𝙙𝙞𝙗𝙖𝙬𝙖!)”

I nodded back as the voice came back. "Mun wani rek mawa, get ready to be beaten! (If you dare to bring, ready to be read*!)" my jolt's getting upset.

My annoyance grew even more, when I saw Teh Ayu walking in the courtyard and heading over here. In his hand, he carried two wicker plates that contained nothing.

"Teh Inoxu," he said kindly. I just smiled in response. "It's about to bring Kang Utep's pesenan."

"Utep chicken rice coils, Tea?" my many.

"Ngga Tea. Lotec pesen, but the mother was busy with the buyer, so I helped anter here."

"Oh yes, makasi," I said feeling relieved. "Well, one more pesenan who?"

"It's great for Inoxu Tea" Teh Ayu replied smilingly.

"Oh, brought the same Teteh? Yes rice?" reply lirih. I stared at the clingy Ayu Tea.

"Loves a lot, Tea. Pregnant people are usually easy to laper. Especially for the pregnancy of rich twins Teteh."

The words of Teh Ayu made me pensive and began to feel astonished. Because, I myself just found out if the fetus in my stomach is twin, just now after checking the womb. Even when I was possessed, Teh Hani said something that made me think in that direction, but not with other friends, who were on Radio Rebel at the time of the incident. So, how did Ayu Tea know?

After thinking for a moment what to do, I opened my voice. "Kok Teh Ayu know I'm pregnant with twins?"

"Winding from the shape," he answered beginning to get nervous.

"Shaped? My stomach has not formed yet. Little bloated doang. It's a wonder if until Ayu Tea knows."

"I-it ... I've been pregnant, too, so you know," she said.

"Masa? Do you really know yourself or are told to know Nyai?" ask me to the point.

Ayu Tea's eyes widened.

"I know ya? Ayu Tea is wrong if you want to crush me and my children. I know it. And I can thicken Ayu Tea many times if it gets reckless!" threaten me slowly while smiling cynically. "I can make a rumor that will lose Ayu Tea."

Ayu Tea grew nervous and decided to leave after putting the two rattan dishes she had brought onto the table.

"Oh yes, Tea, take the cake again! If not, I throw it away. Bu Munah said that the mother of the seller of rujak did not sell until next week because she returned home. So, I guess, it's not the dish I used to eat."

"L-yes, Tea," he replied as he returned to pick up a plate that I thought contained ryejak. Without saying anything more, he immediately turned around and quickly left me.
