INARA
34. Dark phobia

The POV Inara On

On this night Eliza sleeps in a kos an Ku. The atmosphere started the night and was quiet as usual, when I

saw one housing complex where I lived there was a power outage. I who was tired at that time immediately rushed to the house, until there I began to take out a cellphone from my pocket and then turn on the flashlight and then walk towards my room to change clothes.

From inside the kitchen was the sound of Eliza preparing dinner, and I immediately rushed to the dining room which was not far from my room for dinner.

At that time the dining room was only illuminated by candles so the atmosphere of dinner was a bit unappetizing because of the dark conditions that I was afraid of since childhood. Finished eating I went outside to get fresh air, outside there was only an occasional vehicle passing by illuminating the complex road

There was no word from Eliza.

"Eliza you don't papa" I cried in a relaxed voice, I nodded with a somewhat heavy feeling.

I went out looking around again. Again

The lights went out I went back inside the house and walked towards the room, in the room I turned on my laptop to listen to music and check on my tasks that I had done yesterday.

In a quiet room, just the light from the laptop screen that was lighting up to me, the sound of my front door opening, I just kept quiet and thought it was my parents who had just come home from the supermarket. I called my father from the room,

Not long, though,

"Inara,gue bawain pizzeria nih" in a rather loud voice. I momentarily stopped my work and replied in the spirit of “Oke.. soon finished eliza...” I said excitedly. I hurried to finish my task check and then I went outside the room and walked while carrying a flashlight to the dining room.

When I arrived at the dining room suddenly the flashlight on my phone died, “. “lilin that was on here where za?” I said astonished, “Mati.. has finished the candle..” Eliza replied.

Whether it was just my feeling or indeed the candle had run out, but since I ate time to go home, the candle was still three pieces and could still last up to two hours. I keep thinking positively and don't want to make it up.

“This is your favorite food..” Eliza said while giving food to me, while taking a meal given by my mother I fumbled Eliza's hand which was cold and stiff at the time, “eliza. Are you holding ice, are your hands cold? is the supermarket AC still stuck in your hands?” I asked while joking, my mother just kept silent not responding.

Not long after I heard the sound of people knocking on my front door, I rushed towards the front door, but suddenly Eliza called me from the dining room

“nar don't open it's just a prankster aja”. Eliza said in a rather loud tone, I was curious then I opened the window and peeked inside. I'm surprised I didn't play when I saw Danish.

“, quickly open the door”. My body went limp for a moment, though, I turned my head back and looked towards the dining room in the state of the house that was still pitch dark at that moment I saw a tall, long-haired shadow figure with a face that vaguely approached me and I shouted while opening the door, I went straight to the back who was standing right in front of the door.

“Why are you nar?” Danish asked in surprise mixed with shock. “I saw the ghost of his legs his height his hair was long” I said

“Bener sister.. I talked to them earlier in the dining room, their voices look like Eliza” said I confirmed. “Ya already.. now read the verse of the seat and letter of Al-Ikhlas three times” he said again calmly.

A few seconds after reading the verses, the electricity of our housing complex was back on, my parents and I rushed into the house, then my father and I walked into the dining room and saw a plate on the table and a candle still burning.

Whereas earlier when I was eating there was no candle lit and the food I ate was not exhausted, but the dishes on the table were clean as they were washed.

It was getting dark, the clouds were blackening, the sun was no longer visible, I hurriedly ran into his house. Open the door and lock it back. His heart was pounding, terrified!

Danish who saw me just walked in and hugged me.

"what is hemm" he said gently.

"ak-u..aakk-u dark pho-bia" I said, sobbing in Danish arms.

"why is there me"

“then what food did I eat earlier?” I asked in my heart. “ina mending prayer first there than mikirin macem-macem” danish said.

“iya dear ” I said with a small laugh

"Eh, oops"Danish saw me anxious
