Wishing Upon You
4. The Night is Longer Than The Day

After a long day, Danielle was finally able to lay down on her bed. In addition to his college schedule which is quite crowded today, he also has to take care of an event organized by the company where he does his internship. Not to mention his encounter with a strange man where he fixed his laptop. Just thinking about that incident made half of the remaining energy in his body disappear. It was a really exhausting day for Danielle.

"Udah finished bathing gini good sleep - Ah*** there is still a task," Sontak Danielle immediately woke up from her bed.

"Malem you're still nugas? Crazy is ambis."

"DOG!"

Danielle swore loudly when she saw a black man standing leaning against the door of her room. Danielle nodded, making sure that her vision was not wrong after she looked at the man's face carefully. That man was the strange man he had met at the service store!

Shock and fear enveloped Danielle. There are a variety of negative thoughts in his brain. It could be that this man was hurt because of what he said last afternoon or maybe this man was actually a stalker who had been in love with him for a long time. The worst possibility is that this man is a psychopath who wants to kill him. 

"I also killed you. Relax, relax" said the man and sat at the end of Danielle's bed.

Danielle who was still surprised by the presence of the strange man in her house again surprised when the man said the sentence earlier. It was as if the man could read his mind.

"Lo if diem matung so I'm sure will not be able to do the task tonight," said the man resuscitated Danielle.

"Ma-mau lo what? Money?" ask Danielle stammering.

"Nope. You know it." replied the man briefly.

Danielle sighed, "Gue doesn't know and hopefully not what I think about now. Mending you kill me all at once," explained Danielle ventured.

If the man did not want his property or his life, it was certain that all that was left of Danielle was her body. Danielle shook her head hoping that bad things after being killed did not happen to her. It was better for him to be killed than to give his body to that strange man.

"Ew. That's not what I want, Danielle. And anyway I am not a lowly creature like you humans who can not keep lust. I'm on a different level, okay?" the man said back as if he were reading Danielle's mind.

The man looked at Danielle who was still sculpting, "Your wish. That's it."

"God, aren't you joking with me? Wash wish wash wish, so join ya lo sampe entry into people's homes without permission? This is a criminal act tau?!" danielle cried out in emotion as she was upset and tired all day long being bullied by this man.

The man smiled cynically, "Cop call me that, I don't care. The most fitting police came to me say."

"You swear you don't know!"

The man approached Danielle who was still staring at the corner of the room. Danielle was actually afraid to try to step back even though her body was attached to the wall.

The man brought his face closer to Danielle, "Gue how should you believe it? I also cape have to ngejer lo continue."

Danielle ventured to face the man. The man's gaze changed which had been staring at him cynically now softened.

Danielle's fear just disappeared after seeing this man's eyes before her. Strange indeed. It's never been like this before. Especially with the man who had been bothering him and even barged into his house.

"Lo really can ignore people's requests?" danielle no longer asked with emotion.

The man just nodded his head and distanced himself from Danielle.

"Request yes.." Danielle thought hard about what she wanted. He knew it would sound foolish to trust this man he said 'genie', but what could he do.

"Ah, you can not just ask for a request, there are conditions. First, you can't ask for wish lo plus, your request can only be granted once."

Danielle nodded her head in a sign that she understood.

"Secondly, you can't ask for death or for the lives of people. Inget, I'm an obeying request not god." The man continued his sentence after seeing Danielle nodding, "Third and last, you can't ask me, the grantor, to stay with you" the man concluded.

"Huh? Meanin?" danielle asked confused.

"In case you feel 'something' towards me, and you want me to stay with you, sorry but you can't"

Danielle's facial expression signifies that she does not believe, "Something you mean 'like'? Has anyone ever liked a non-human creature like you?" ask Danielle.

"There's a reason rules are made, too. But you will not ask for this last request right," guess the man who is of course right.

"Hmm.what is it. Yeah, I want to get rich seven derivatives."

The man laughed softly at Danielle's request, "That's all you're asking, from the cake I don't have to cape-cape nyamperin you here," lamented the man then suddenly grabbed Danielle's hand.

A surprised Danielle tried to let go of the man's grasp but the man was much stronger than her, "Gue is again working. No need to be a geer" explained the man.

The wind suddenly blows. It was as if someone had placed a large-sized fan in front of him. He saw the things around him shaking. Damnit. This guy isn't really human? inner Danielle.

Hush...

The strong wind stopped. Danielle who is still goosebumps do not believe can only be sculpted. He was not even aware that the man holding his hand was looking at him in annoyance.

"Lo's request is a good idea, right?" ask the guy.

"Why is that?"

"Cannot be granted if it is not a request that you really want, must be a request from the heart," obviously the man who is actually lazy to explain this because he himself does not understand why this condition is a mandatory condition to be granted a request.

Danielle looked at the man in disbelief, "From the heart? Which story did you write from the drama? Don't be weird."

The man who was as upset as Danielle could only answer soberly, "I'm not the one who made the rules. I'm just walking, protesting to the top noh don't go to me."

"Think what you really want. There must be, ", continued the man.

Danielle fell silent. Desire. He knows the answer. It has no desire for anything. As hard as he explored his thoughts, there would be no 'desire' in his brain. Danielle is also confused about herself, why she does not have the desire of others.

After thinking long enough that actually does not produce any thoughts let alone requests, Danielle ventured to ask, "If I have no desire, you will follow me continue to do so?"
