Dine and Mike: Spooky Story

            Mike and Dine usually communicated via phone almost every day. Even tho they almost met every single day but still before they slept, Mike would call Dine just to make sure everything's okay with Dine. They usually talked through the phone for hours until one of them felt sleepy. There wasn’t any strange thing that happened about their habit until that night.

          

             It was a regular night for Dine, she just finished her homework and she had already taken a bath after.  Now it was 01:30 am in the morning, it wasn’t even a night anymore when Mike’s name was popping on her phone screen. Then, Dine and Mike had a very great conversation as usual. About 30 minutes they’d been talking, Dine told Mike that she felt sleepy already, so she wanted to go to the toilet for brushing her teeth and washing her face before she slept. Yet she said to Mike that she didn’t want to hang up the phone because she still wanted to say good night to Mike after she went back from the toilet. So She put her phone on the bed and Mike had to stay still on the line while Dine was in the toilet doing her business. 

           

            About maybe 8-10 minutes later finally Dine got out from her toilet. She was so excited to get her phone on her ear cause she knew Mike was still on the line. Then she picked the phone from her bed.

            “Hello babe, are you still there?”

            “Yaa...” Mike answered Dine's question with shaking voice, definitely, there’s something wrong.

            “Mike, what’s wrong?”

            “Promise me to be honest, okay?”

            “Ya, of course, what’s wrong babe? Tell me” Dine was super confused and curious at the same time.

            “There was an old woman’s voice picked up your phone, and she said something like “HEH!” just about two minutes before you picked up, is that you or...?”

           

            Dine's facial expression immediately changed, she was so afraid now. Her whole body was shaking. Dine looked around her room and she was just completely alone. Dine’s flat was in a peaceful and uncrowded neighborhood. Even, the rooms on the left and right were empty. She looked at her door and it was locked. There’s no way if someone possibly was pranking her.

          

              “Babe, I have no idea who the hell is that old woman, I don’t do anything. I was still in the bathroom. You are not just making this story up, right?”

            “I’m not kidding babe, I’m terrified now. The voice doesn’t want to go away from my brain. Babe, just follow my instruction now. Make sure that your door is locked, pull up your blanket, and try to sleep okay. I believe everything will be okay. I will not hang up until you fall asleep.”

            “O...okay”

            

            Dine was still shocked, but she follow Mike’s instruction, at first her eyes, were hard to be closed, but slowly she fell asleep.

A broken arrow

By Tissa Risanto

We’ve promised on behalf of our little fingers

As my heart received bright hope in front,

you put me in trust our future with no suffers                                         

no I didn’t smell, it is from an evil ant

You pull the trust arrow from my heart

It was there, now it is a hole pain

Nature has warned you!                                               

But the ego defeat the pure heart

You can’t stab your arrow back

you can't give me your "so fake" effort

You can’t re-put cause it’s already crack                       

You can’t allay this suffer heart

Dine and Mike: Oh Dine!

                          

      Dine was sad last dinner. Mike made her sad, he was silent during the entire dinner. Dine was so confused, she just ate her dinner while she's also holding her tears which about to fall down. Dine asked Mike few times about what's actually going on but Mike just said no words.

    Dine finally finished her dinner. They went back home. At home Dine asked Mike again, and he just answered that he got bored. Dine asked him what makes him bored, is it their relationship? But again, no answer.

     Few minutes later everything seemed back to normal, Mike looked like he was happy again, without talking about his problem that made him changed his mood last dinner. Things were always like that in their relationship, sometimes problems had no solution because Mike didn't wanna talk about it.

       Mike promised Dine to take her out tonight because there weren't busy and important schedule for tomorrow. Dine was super excited to hear that. Yet, Mike said that he felt so hurt in his head so he told Dine to sleep a little bit before they went out. Dine kissed him before he slept. 

     Then the time showed that Mike had to wake up. Dine was waking him up, but he seemed so upset about it. He said that she don't understand how terrible his head is. She already felt hurt actually but she still forced herself to smile and tried to wake him up again. 

     He finally woke up. Dine told him to washed his face before they went out but unpredictably he said that he just wanted to go home right away. Dine felt so hurt, because earlier in the afternoon Mike was the one that promised to take Dine out, and she already imagined a good time that they would have when they spent this night together. 

     Mike was so cold that night, Dine was scared. He grabbed his things and walked to the door. Dine held his hand, she said that they still had about 15 minutes before Mike had to go from her place. Mike said to her that she made him angry. His voice was so cold, it pierced through Dine's heart. Then he went out without saying goodbye like usual. Dine couldn't hold her tears anymore, She screamed Mike's name while he was walking out the door. 

     He left her cry alone. All she needed now was just a hug from him. She hugged her pillow so tightly. After all the tears, she just checked her phone again and again that she hope he would text her an apologize, but no message at all from him tonight. She then felt so much pain all over her body, her eyes couldn't be opened anymore.

Experience: Huge Earthquake

  

                Hi people! Finally, I decided to write something again. After a very long unnecessary holiday of writing, I wanna share one of the scariest experiences in my life. So happy reading!

                Earthquake is something usual in my hometown, Bengkulu.  I usually experience it at least once in a couple months. I kind of get used to it, because these were small earthquakes that didn’t really bother people. Yet, in 2007, when it was the first day of Ramadhan , I felt a huge earthquake. It was the biggest and the most frightening earthquake I’ve experienced in my life.

                It was a beautiful sunny afternoon in 2007. My family was preparing for Ramadhan. We cooked some kind of food. After we finished with the food, my mom decided to take a bath first. While I was waiting for her, I decided to watch TV. Suddenly, I saw the TV was shaking. I started to panic. I screamed and run outside my house, my mom and dad did the same thing. The street in front of my house was full of people. We gathered and hugged each other there. I remembered how people shouted God’s name over and over. Also, I saw buildings around me were jumping and my neighbor’s pool was like spilling.

                After about 5 minutes, the earthquake finally stopped. Soon, we got information that the earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale and potentially cause Tsunami. Everybody was shocked and scared, then they quickly packed their clothes and some important stuff to go to a safer place. My family decided to go to the house of my parents’ friend. When we arrived there, and we’ve waited several hours, we got other information that the Tsunami didn’t happen.

                It was the most horrible experience in my life. Even though the earthquake didn’t really damage anything, but still it was scaring me. I thought it was the end of the world. I was really grateful that everyone was okay and the Tsunami didn’t happen.
