Riko came when Mr. Ardi was visiting, it's been a long time since he broke up with Febry, he never came to the house again. At first he hesitated, but Febry's parents' warm welcome made his worries disappear.
The two men were sitting together in the living room, there was a sense of awkwardness yet each tried to cover up.
"Sister Riko why haven't you played here in a long time?" Ryan who was in the room, immediately ran to the living room to approach Riko. The ten-year-old boy was very familiar with Riko. Riko is his only child. So he feels like he has a brother.
"Yes, Kaka was busy yesterday. But later brother will often play here," said Riko.
"Eechhem." Febry gave a small thud. In his heart he wanted to say "what are you talking about?"
"Yes, I brought something for you." Ryan took out a small object from inside his bag. A box of Lego. There was a happy twinkle emanating from Ryan's eyes. Repeatedly he thanked Riko.
Mr. Ardi seemed to die of style, there was jealousy in his heart when he saw Riko's closeness with the Febry family. So far the Febry family has received themselves very well, but he and Ryan are not very familiar.
"Ah there's this too, your sister's favorite. Please love it to my sister." Riko gave the chocolate to Ryan.
Ryan nodded in agreement, the boy observed his new logo box with a smile.
"Ryan, you help me bring a drink for Riko's sister as ardy. Kasian they're thirsty." Said dad trying to melt the atmosphere.
Dad tried to be ordinary to Riko and Ardy, although the atmosphere felt awkward but impossible if he had to throw one of them out.
After talking for a while, the father then left the three of them in the living room, Febry wanted to ignore Riko, but his little heart felt like a mess.
"Feb, I said yes. Tomorrow go to work, if your father can pick you up, let's hear me."
"Why is Mr Ardi going to pick you up?"
"GR you, not me
pick it up, but the warehouse boy who asked," said Mr. Ardi while laughing at the wrong behavior Febry.
Tired of jealousy and unwilling to leave Febry and Riko, he wanted to feel like he pulled Riko's hand out and told her to go home too. But he's nobody.
Mr. Ardi's car has left the yard, there is only Riko and Febry in the living room. Still, Febry didn't know where to start. Because for him there's nothing they need to talk about.
Riko and Febry choose to talk on the terrace of the house, while enjoying the breeze of the night.
"It feels rich nostalgia yes. We were together, and I used to play here." Riko tried to break the silence between them.
Febry was silent, his net was busy staring up at the sky, he did not realize that the man sitting next to him was looking at him, deep.
"Feb, after I thought long. I'll try to get you back in there again" Riko said solemnly.
"What else to try? Everything is done Rik. We live each of our lives."
"Yes, I thought I was going to give up on all of this at first, but yesterday's patient room incident convinced me. Sure that you still have the same taste of me. Aye right?"
"Relgan."
"Lie, look at me."
"You're too GR Rik." Febry did not look at Riko at all.
"Keep, kiss here what do you think? There's no way you'd want it if you didn't have a taste."
Febry cheated, he was unable to refute Riko's words. Because he himself was confused by his feelings. He even felt a foolish woman, how could he enjoy the kiss, while he and Riko were no longer in a relationship.

"Hes, I want to tell you something."
"What?" Hesty pulled the chair she was sitting on to get closer towards the febry.
"I've seen a big figure, his eyes red. That's what is it?"
"Seriously? Is there a rich aroma of burnt cassava?"
"If it's a scent, a kiss because maybe I had the flu at that time, but I heard there was a sound like the snorting of an animal."
"Fixx by that." Hesty snapped her fingers.
"Fix what?"
"That's om Wowo's name."
"Genderuwo, you mean?"
"Husstttt is not mentioned here. I fear it will be called." Hesty placed one of her fingers on the tip of her lips.
"Ihhhh you don't want to. But why am I being seen? I'm so original parnoan, Hes." Febry stroked the nape of his neck that felt cramped.
"Why don't I know, but you have to be careful. Because the creature is very aggressive. She fears she has a crush on you. Dannnnnn...,"
"And what?"
"Dann many cases of humans can be at the same age as the creature. So my advice is to pray a lot."
"Astagfirullah, time anyway. Really serem. I'm afraid of what else is there."
"Ehhhh, don't get me wrong. When having sex, he usually disguises himself as our partner. So y that was my advice to multiply prayer."
Febry shuddered in horror, half believing and not with Hesty's story. Because according to Febry, how can a sophisticated era like this still have such a myth. But if he remembered the figure that peeked at his window while in the hospital, he became frightened himself.

"Hes, are we serious about getting to Ardi's mes?"Febry who was walking beside Hesty sped up his steps to align with hesty, as they only carried one umbrella.
"Yes, Mr. Ardi called for help photographing the data in the red map on the desk in his room. Mr. Ardi said in the mess there is an aunt who cleans, so we ask the aunt to help take the map," said Hesty while strengthening the handle of the umbrella she brought. Their feet had been partially wet due to the splashing of rainwater.
Mes pak Ardi is located on the right side of the factory, there are some houses that are quite large with Dutch-era building style. With plenty of windows and a dominant paint white color. Although the house occupied by pak ardi is quite large, but there are only two rooms.
During work, Febry only once entered into the environment mes employees. At first Febry thought that Mes pak Ardi was just a small room with a bathroom inside. But it turned out wrong. Mes which is meant is a large house that is intended for superiors.
In front of the houses is a small garden, with a gazebo and a children's swing. But what stole Febry's attention was a large tree right next to the swing. Febry shuddered in horror at the thought of having to linger around the huge tree. Although it looks beautiful, comfortable and very well maintained, proven from the grass that seems routine in the cut. Still, the horror impression is not lost.
"Hes, which Mes mr Ardi?"
"So he said the number three of the driveway, right next to Anton's mes. But mes mr Anton I don't know, hahaha" Hesty chuckled amusedly.
Along with the rain that is still fluttering and the sky that looks gloomy because it is cloudy, making the atmosphere like different. There's no one around, just Febry and Hesty.
They arrived at mes no three, Hesty put an umbrella and rushed to knock on the door. While Febry, his neutrals were observing around. He was horrified by the garden in front of the mes, but there was a curious feeling tucked away. His net was glaring at the large tree, but his gaze unintentionally caught the white shadow that was seen sitting among the large branches of the tree.
The figure was dressed in white, complete with hair that decomposed to cover his face. Febry was surprised to feel like he wanted to shout because the figure was as if raising his hand and pointing right at the direction he was standing at this moment
