The Midnight Radio
Episode 58's

"Why smile for yourself? Inget fit yesterday's proposal, huh?" bang Win asked suddenly as he clasped my hand which was walking in the parking lot.

"Bang Win! Just ngagetin!" I took off the headphones.

"I called from earlier. If you're not horrified, it's not my fault, yank."

My desire to argue with him was instantly annihilated hearing the end of the sentence he said. "Well, people wear headphones." I was surprised to find my voice suddenly soft.

"Udah, do not need to miss the moment yesterday. I am ordinary. Maybe you're too nervous, to the point of falling down the road using high heels," he chuckled.

"Bang Win! Do not mention it again. Shame on!" I said cover my face.

"Yes-yes. Go in yuk? Start testing," he asked.

I looked up at the sky and saw the grains of water falling one by one.

"I don't bring a car, you'll use a motorbike?"

"Where is Bang Win?" I sat down on the sofa followed by Bang Win who took a position in front of me.

"In pake Krishna. His own car went down the engine, while he had an out-of-town assignment. Anyways? Nyx hasn't come home yet?"

"Tomorrow or the day after. She was busy again, "I replied.

Bang Win simply nodded and took out a box of chocolates from his hoodie pocket. "So I bought a drink to Deltamart. Then again there is a cheap ransom promo, yes because I took a cheap chocolate," he said while giving the chocolate.

"Makasi Bang Win," I replied with a slanted smile. I often snack to Deltamart and chocolate is never entered into a cheap redeemed promo because the price is good.

"Assalamualaikum! Helow!" Adul entered after previously shaking the jacket he was wearing. His carefree footsteps instantly stopped abruptly when he saw the new Kang Utep descending from the second floor.

"What wiry?" kang Utep's jolt that made Adul look at him cynically.

"What's-what's-what?" he returned and sat next to me.

Bang Win and I chuckled at the behavior of the two. We waited until a while later until Gia and Remi arrived, then headed to the studio.

"Yank, I went out first with Utep huh?" pamit Bang Win who I immediately accepted.

"could be! Bang Win can say that in front of a true single!" remi complained while shaking the body of Adul nearby many times.

"Teh Rem, this is Adul's dizzy. Duh," said Adul.

"Sori," Reply to the short Remi and then walk up the stairs.

We immediately headed to each other's positions as soon as we reached the studio. Within seconds, the on-air sign was on indicating the broadcast was starting.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi. Inoxu and Adu were back from the second-floor studio The Story of Midnight Radio Rebel Bandung," I opened the broadcast.

"Tonight we came back to accompany your rest with a story that is certainly cool and tense to hear. One song from Pia with Lantern Love request from Jannah will be played as the beginning of the story. So, don't go anywhere ya gaes ya," Adu continued before turning off the mic, whereas I chose to contact the source. After connecting, I asked him to wait for a moment.

"Hopefully we'll have an enraptured story, Tea?" adul said he saw me.

"Aamiin," I said slowly. I hummed quietly following the song I was listening to without feeling, the song was about to end.

"That's her Pia with the Lantern of Love. Welcome to the listeners who have just joined. And now, at the end of the connection there are already our speakers who will share the story. Hello, where's it with?" my many.

"Good night Inoxu Tea and Adul. My name is Arif in Dago. I am from Padang and want to share a story about a strange incident I have experienced"

"It's been a long time, too, Tea, but is it okay?" tanyakanya.

"That's okay Kang, please," I replied.

"This incident occurred in 2009 precisely on September 30, 2009 when a large earthquake destroyed my homeland. I work as a desperate angkot puller came out that night to find a windfall even though there are some points of the road that access was closed due to the earthquake.

Because I am a native, so I know another alternative way and this is very profitable because there are no professional friends who dare to come out for fear of aftershocks and skin diseases that are rife at that time.

As a result, from morning until night my angkot full continues and it makes me excited to forget that the day is getting night. Exactly at half-nine, then I intend to go home."

I held my breath for a moment because I was carried away by the atmosphere that Kang Arif told me about. When I turned to Adul, something fell on his head and made me reflect towards the ceiling. My laughter almost broke when I realized that a lizard had just urinated on Adul's head. I slowly shifted the chair away from Adul's chair, because the lizard was one of the animals I feared.

"How did Kang Arif go?" ask Adul who made me refocus listening to the story.

"At the way home, right near a bimbel place, my angkot was stopped by a group of teenagers who seemed to have just returned home to learn from the Bimbel. I'm just fine, because there's an extra passenger on the way home."

I glanced back at the ceiling and saw that the lizard was creeping slowly and almost fell down.

"At first the typical noise of teenagers buzzing from the back of the passenger bench but just arrived in the middle of the journey the noise arrived suddenly swallowed and gradually disappeared," continued Kang Arif.

"Why are those kids, Kang?" Adul asked again in a curious tone.

"At first I didn't suspect Kang Adul, so I didn't know it was the kids at what. But suddenly goosebumps. I finally dared to look back. Kang Adul knows what I saw?"

"Where do you know, Akang who has a story," cut Adul quickly while I still look at the ceiling many times.

"At the back, I saw pieces of the body jumping out through the window!"

"Astagfirefull!" exclamation Adul.

"I was terrified and almost went home weak and panicked until I finally arrived home with a fever. Since then, I have not dared to go for a month. Scared!" kang Arif.

"That's Kang! Anyone would be afraid of becoming an Akang. Really serem can see the pieces of the body of people jumping it. Hiih," said Adul. "Is there another Kang?"

"Udah, at most. Makasi has given me a chance to tell a story. Success for Inoxu Tea and Kang Adul."

"Aamiin, makasi also Kang Arif in Dago." Adul disconnects.

"Kang Arif's story is really good? Not happy if Adul in his position. I fainted time! That's the story of Kang Arif, hopefully can entertain all listeners huh? One song from Tic Band with Best For You will play as the end of the story tonight. Adul and Inoxu Tea. Wassalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."

Adul turned off the mic and watched me who was looking at the lizard on the ceiling.

"Teh, really good. Meet the body of pieces. Jumping too, rich gini," Adul showed his fluttering hands on the table.

"Ish songong," Gia and Remi's chimpanzee came to us. "Start again Adu?"

"Ish, here there is never a body of pieces," replied Adul defiantly.

Pluck up! Fear happens. The lizard fell right over Adul's head and made me reflectively shout.

"Win Bang!" I yelled off my headphones and grabbed my phone and my bag away from Adul.

Remi and the shocked Gia dodged along. As for Adul, he was hysterical because the lizard that fell on his head was counted as a finger piece.

"Please! Please adul! Just go! Adul's joking! Go!" screams loudly. As before, he was convulsing in the broadcast chair still with a lizard over his head.
