The Midnight Radio
Episode 23

All the eyes of the announcers who were sitting on the sofa stared at me for a while before a plump sentence slid out of their mouths.

"Cie Inoxu tumben euy come at this hour."

"Told by his most dear."

"If there is a broadcaster that comes right not the time of the broadcast it must be something this mah."

"Practice dong Xu!"

"Yes dong, eat that."

"Eh, halalin just directly when mah huh?"

I grimaced at their words and without bothering to sit on the sofa. Their words are almost all true. I did appear in the studio before lunchtime because of Bang Win's request. Today, my broadcast schedule is empty.

"Oxu, have you come?" bang Win came out of one of the studios.

"Win, cupu ah nanyanya! If it is already here it means already come dong," replied Teh Opi which was greeted by another laugh.

Ignoring all that, Bang Win walked towards me. "Come?" bring him.

I stood up without knowing where to go. Most importantly, stay away from the sloppy sentences coming from them. With mixed feelings, I followed Bang Win who walked outside this radio station to the side of the big road.

"Temenin I ate across huh? Abis was broadcast in the studio," he said without looking.

I nodded and waited for the passing vehicle. Just as he was about to cross over, Bang Win grabbed my hand and did not let go until we were sitting in a restaurant not far from the radio station.

"Gia so resigned?" tanyanya opened the conversation after ordering food for the two of us.

"The wealth is. Wait for a count of time."

"You're broadcasting the same Remi?"

"Let's Bang. But do not know if there will be other broadcasters who are lowong and can not be a producer of the Story of Midnight. Why is Bang Win?" askaku.

"Pengen nanya aja," he answered short while drinking Tea Box. "You're bosen, don't see me?"

"Oh, it's ordinary."

"Yes already. If that's how Gia will resign, I'll take over the program."

"The more often we meet our dong?" I looked him right in the eye and averted my gaze as he looked back at me.

"Yes that's the goal."

"Alhamdulillah," I replied that in an instant made my face feel hot.

Bang Win just chuckled at my words and started eating because our order had been delivered.

***

I was sitting on a chair, not far from Bang Win's desk. He just started the broadcast by playing the theme song of a movie that is currently airing in theaters. I was still watching him, as he pulled out the drawer of the workbench and took out a fairly large bar of chocolate, then gave it to me with a smile without saying anything. My heart was suddenly warmed by her pleasant treatment.

"Like the package?"

"Like," I smiled and recalled the moment I opened the gift package from Bang Win. A candid photo of myself behind the broadcast table and edited in such a way as to give rise to an elegant and aesthetic impression. "I just found out that Bang Win is talented."

"In terms of photography?" tanyakanya.

I shook my head, "In terms of taking photos of people in the diem. Like paparazzi."

"Haha!" he's snapped. "I like to see you on broadcast. The power is enjoying."

"Youngawong! If not, I may have quit my job long ago."

"You want to be on the broadcast?" her smiling tan that returned made my heart warm.

"Ngga ah, next time. I won Bang Win first."

"If nemenin, here. Sit down my decket, I will not be anything," he said lirih.

I nodded and moved the chair with my feet so that it approached him. Within minutes, Bang Win had already started broadcasting. Just this time I was sitting so close to a man that from where I was sitting, I could freely pay attention to every curve of Bang Win's face.

His words made me grin and lean my back on the back of the chair. A bottle of mineral water he took out of the bag, opened the lid and thrust the bottle at me.

The vow! Only once did I get a simple yet pleasant treatment from the opposite sex. In my heart I understand why Tea Lena loved Bang Win so much that she was bound in the world for so long. Remembering Lena Tea, issuing its own grief. Almost an hour later I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize that Bang Win had closed the broadcast.

"It's a dream?" after removing the headphones.

"Sleepy," I said short.

"You want to go for a walk?"

"You, you" I replied smiling.

"OKAY. Wait a moment, right? I'll go to the toilet first."

I nodded and saw her figure walking out of the studio. While looking at my phone, I felt someone was paying attention. Quickly, I raised my face and gasped at the figure of Adul standing by the door.

My breath tightened and fear filled the joints as I realized that the figure before me was not human. Adul has resigned and it is impossible to stand here wearing an office boy uniform.

"Ai sia, teu kapok keneh?! Hayang diduruk?! (you, no kapok too? want to be read*kar?!)," I jolted loudly. The figure that resembled Adul was still looking at me fixedly.

"The an*ying, is it not gawking!? Hunk! (the an*jing, even ngeliatin!? move away!)," I jolted again.

My legs and hands began to cool down because my jolt had no effect.

"Tea Inoxu."

Lothawat! The devil is calling my name. With the last remaining courage I had, I backpedaled it. "Just been futile! (get away!)."

Just futile! The figure did not react to anything even slowly approaching me. Because of the great fear, I felt weak and in the end it was all dark.

"Oxu?"

The voice of someone calling, made me gradually gain full consciousness. The unfamiliar atmosphere of the room confused me for a while until I finally recognized that this was the meeting room.

"Drink first," someone who turns out Bang Win thrust a glass containing warm sweet tea. After feeling enough, the man took the glass from my hand and rested next to the sofa where I was lying.

"Still dizzy?" tanyakanya.

I'm shaking.

"Labby?"

I nodded slowly and closed my eyes again, until a gentle touch in my head made me open my eyes and try to sit down.

"You why? Adul said you were maki-maki him, keep fainting."

"Adul's? Adul was here? Didn't he resign?" ask me back before answering Bang Win's question.

"Adul did not resign. Dizziness said if not working, his mother was angry mulu mulu at home. He came into the studio because I told him to make a copy of the paper on my desk. After meeting you, he said you even told him to leave and not for long then even fainted."

I covered my face with both hands with extreme embarrassment.

"Hey, why Oxu?" ask Bang Win again.

"So I met Adul. Since he said he resigned, I guess the one who had entered the studio was a demon. Yes I jolt let go, just not go-go too, I was more afraid until finally do not want anything else," I explained lirih.

Bang Win laughed loudly. He even covered his face for a while. "So you think that Adul just now was a demon?"

"Yes," I nodded.

"Yes yes, there are. Still lemes? Want to go home?"

"Say you want to go for a walk?!" my voice is protest.

"Hahaha, yes. Take a walk."

I smiled and stood up. After feeling better, I walked towards the door with Bang Win behind me.
