The Three Chosen
174. Meet the Stars
Hanako is eager to interact with the ghosts of SPBU employees in front of her but Hanako has to postpone it because it is being pursued by time. Hanako must immediately meet the interview invitation at the place of applying for a job. Coincidentally the building in question is on the same road as the SPBU. Not wanting to delay time, Hanako rushed away.
“ Thank you and be careful on the way..” said the SPBU employee with a smile without looking at Hanako.
“ Insha Allah thanks Mas..,” said Hanako then immediately forward his motor left the place without wanting to look back.
Soon Hanako arrived in front of the building. When reporting to security Hanako must swallow disappointed because the interview time has ended half an hour ago.
“ Mbak is half an hour late. The interview was finished daritadi.” said security.
“ Late...?” hanako asked in disbelief as she glanced at the watch on her wrist.
“ Yes...,” says the security.
Hanako let out a long sigh because she did not expect to be late at the crucial moment this time. Seeing Hanako who was disappointed to make the security was pity then offer a glass of mineral water to Hanako.
“ Drink first Maak let spirit..,” said the security.
“ Thanks Sir...,” said Hanako while receiving mineral water in the glass packaging and then gulp the contents.
“ Kok can be late anyway, the mother did not see the interview schedule listed on the invitation..?” ask the security.
“ I already know Sir, but I also do not understand why I can be late. Though the time of wriggling the clock was still not nine..,” said Hanako.
“ Where did you stop by first.?” ask the security.
“ I stopped by SPBU there Sir. Suddenly my motorbike ran out of fuel, whereas as I recall I filled full yesterday.” said Hanako.
Hanako's answer made the two security people look at each other and then nod.
“ SPBU which is where Mbak..?” ask security.
“ SPBU that is beside the building Mr...” Hanako said while pointing to the towering building next to the building where it is now.
“ But there is no SPBU Mbak...,” said one security.
“ But I filled gasoline there earlier, free again. Said his employees today all kinds of free fuel do not have to pay..” said Hanako did not want to lose.
“ There ain't nothing. A lot of people went in there but couldn't get out again. Lucky Maak can come out even though the time so goes faster than it should.” said the security to make Hanako pensive.
After thanking Hanako, he left the place. Because of high curiosity Hanako turned around to return to where she bought the fuel earlier. From across the street Hanako saw that the building she saw had vanished changed with vacant land colored by the ruins of the blackened building and weeds. Hanako smiled as she shook her head from feeling ridiculed.
“ I should know if it's all an illusion and the SPBU employees are also just ghosts. But why do I not realize that because I stopped by SPBU my time was wasted...,” Hanako muttered while smiling wryly.
Hanako was shocked when she heard the sound of a car horn right behind her. The noise of the car horn makes Hanako turn and wake up and immediately drive her vehicle to leave the road. But the driver behind him seemed to want to know what Hanako was doing until he started following and mopping Hanako. Feeling annoyed, Hanako stopped her motorbike and stared angrily at the driver.
“ Why follow me, do you have no work other than to disturb other riders.?!” ask Hanako loudly.
The driver opened the car door and got out of the car and rushed to Hanako.
“ I'm sorry if I made you angry. I just want to know what Mbak did across the street earlier.” said the man who turned out to be the same man who had entered the supernatural SPBU.
“ Mmm..., I'm just worried Mbak is stuck there alone. Especially if you are a woman. I'm the only one that men are afraid of being stuck there.” said the man.
“ Stuck where...?” ask Hanako doesn't understand.
“ supernatural SPBU...,” says man fast.
Hearing the man's reply before him made Hanako understand what the man meant. Feeling the same experience, the man offers Hanako a one-on-one talk. Hanako hesitated for a moment and the man took out his identification card and handed it to Hanako as collateral.
“ My Name is Star, This is My ID. Mbak can hold that as a guarantee.” said Bintang solemnly.
Hanako stared at the Star for a moment then shook her head to make the Star frown.
“ Ga need. We can chat in an open and rame place so that you do not have the opportunity to harass Me or use Me..” said Hanako while starting to start her motorcycle.
“ Thank God, thanks Ma'am. We met at the Sun cafe in front there yes.” said Bintang.
“ Insha Allah..,” said Hanako while advancing her motor first leaving the returning Star in the car.
Soon Hanako and Bintang arrive at the Sun cafe. Hanako deliberately chose a place that is easy to see from various directions. Hanako and the stars sat facing each other. While waiting for the order to be delivered they started talking.
“ Here Mbak...,” says Star.
“ Hanako, my name is Hanako..,” cut Hanako fast.
Then Bintang began to tell his experience when he was trapped in SPBU to Hanako. Hanako seemed to be listening seriously and tried to compare with her personal experience just a moment ago.
“ Are you not suspicious about SPBU deserted rich so..?” ask Hanako.
“ Suspicious little, but I don't think much. You see my car broke down in the middle of the road, my phone is low batt, the streets are quiet, nyari people make it happen just never meet..,” sahut Bintang to make Hanako smile.
“ If I even experienced the strange incident this morning before meeting you on the streets earlier..,” said Hanako.
“ Oh yes, how is the story..?” ask the curious star.
“ Nothing special anyway. I just felt like it was a little longer in that place. When chatting with SPBU employees, I was chatting at half-nine in the morning. Done from there I went straight to the office for an interview. You don't know until there when the interview is over because it says I'm late. I saw the clock in my hand, uh it was eleven. Time yes such a close distance takes a long time until hours..,” said Hanako gusar.
“ Means time stuck there longer than our real time..?” ask Stars.
“ The time difference in the supernatural world with in the real world is very far. For example, someone who is trapped in the supernatural world feels if he is only two days there even though in the real world he has been gone for two weeks or even months...,” Hanako's mouth.
“ His words You know a lot about the supernatural world..,” said Bintang while squinting his eyes.
“ Ga too. This is just basic knowledge that everyone can and will know..,” Hanako denied while looking.
But Bintang disagreed with Hanako's opinion. In the heart of the Star began to admire the beautiful girl before him and hoped to get to know him more closely later.
