"Your name is Eka?"
"Yes. I'm Eka, the new kid at this college."
"Sama, I'm also a new kid, we're new kids too. But it looks like we're different majors."
"I'm Alvin, I'm Martin and I'm Chandra. Chandra and I both major in chemical engineering and Martin major in physical engineering."
"Well, you guys are great. I'm accounting."
"What are you waiting for?"
"Wait invitation. Grandpa's driver is coming soon."
"Aren't you ashamed that college is still picked up like a schoolboy?" Martin who looked indifferent suddenly spoke.
"Loh, why? And why should I be ashamed? I didn't do anything embarrassing. Anyway, if you get picked up, get paid."
"Eka, you have a default huh. From this morning I saw you're a Javanese."
"I am a Javanese."
"I mean Alvin, you were taken care of by your ancestors and never went far from you always followed you even now."
"Oh, maybe."
How they know and see. Maybe they are just idiots.
"The name is Mbah kakung, you used to call him Mbah kakung right?"
"Seriously Tin? Elo again talk?"
"He-uh."
"What are the three of you talking about? I don't know at all?"
"The three of us are from the same school. And the three of us are just like you can see and feel other creatures outside of humans."
"You mean? Another creature? I don't understand it at all. Uh that's my invitation already. I'm first yeah."
"Ok Eka, be careful."
Eka got in the car.
What do the three of them mean? Can they see the kakung? Can they be like me? Ah, maybe they're just idiots.
Eka shook her head.
Today there is a lecture at 9 a.m.
"Eka, are you leaving today with a father or aunt?"
Eka did not have time to answer that a guest came and said hello. Everyone inside returned the greeting.
"After the morning has anyone visited? Let grandma open the door." The grandmother who was ready to stand late was held by Eka who was standing faster.
"Let's just granny."
Eka walked forward. And Eka was surprised because the ones who came were Alvian, Chandra and also Martin.
"you guys? How do you know my house? What happened early in the morning to my house? You guys followed me yesterday, right?"
"Well, you know for yourself, when you got picked up by your driver, we were still on campus."
"But how can it?"
"It could be because we're one frequency." Chandra smile.
"Oh that. If so, go in first. And please sit."
Eka invites Alvian, Chandra and Martin in.
"I'll make you a drink soon." Eka left her guest and walked into the dining room."
"Who?"
"Eka's college friends."
"Take a meal. They must not have had breakfast. It's not 7 yet."
"Ngga need nek. Let alone. They know coming. Let Eka make you a drink."
"Oh grandma. Let it be."
Eka immediately took a sweet tea that is always made directly into the teapot by the grandmother every morning.
I brought the sweet tea forward.
"Please drink. But I'm still confused, what are you guys doing coming to my house early in the morning? And we're different majors. I'll have class at 9 in the morning."
"Yes no papa dong, if we come here this morning, because we want to pick you up for college. Stop thinking we're going to hurt you. Nothing at all."
"Oh, good, if you can read my mind."
Grandma and Dad walked forward. Grandma brought toast.
"Well, Eka's college friend? This is Grandma bringing you toast."
"Thank you grandma, sorry we made a fuss early in the morning. Meet me Alvian, Chandra and Martin."
The three of them gave their greetings and kissed the backs of their grandmother and father Eka's hands.
"This is my father and this is my grandmother."
"What's going on in the morning to come here?" I looked in the direction of the three of them.
"We're going to pick Eka up, let Eka go to campus with us."
"Oh yeah? Have you guys made a deal? How come Eka herself was shocked by your arrival?"
"Not yet father. Eka herself did not know that they were coming. They are different with Eka."
"Then your intention and purpose is to pick up Eka?"
"Look, me, Chandra and Martin are just like Eka."
"meaning? How same?"
"Eka can see things that are invisible. The three of us can also. Yesterday we met Eka at the college, somehow we felt that something strange would happen to Eka. That's why we want to protect Eka."
Father looked at the three of them and Eka alternately with a confused look."
Chandra finally opened his voice.
"Gini om, we saw Eka yesterday followed by a grandfather. Eka called him Mbah kakung. Then I talked to Mbah kakung. Eka did not believe us that we were like Eka. And we came here not because we followed Eka home or looking for Eka's home address. The three of us are one frequency with Eka. So we know where Eka is. And Mbah kakung yesterday said the same to me to take care of Eka because there will be interference that later Eka experienced. Even if Eka tries to fight alone will not be able to. Therefore I said the same mbah kakung will take care and help Eka."
My grandmother and father just nodded their heads.
"Yes, that's it. You guys haven't had breakfast yet. Come with grandma, you'll have to eat before you go to college."
"But grandma, don't. They can eat later on campus."
"Hush, Eka can't be stingy with friends."
"Yes, yeah. Yes, let's eat first. I'm gonna get ready."
Grandma took the three of them to the dining room. Eka and her father are still in the living room.
"It seems like the father's son began to like it a lot. Directly 3 men come early in the morning to pick you up." Dad's smiling."
"What the hell. It was dad. It's still morning don't fad."
"Hahahhaha, who's the prankster. Dad is happy. The only thing Chandra talked about was his name, dad was confused. Can they really be like you? And can know about Mbah kakung. You told them?"
"Ngga, why also the story. What's the deal with them. The strange thing was yesterday afternoon when Eka was waiting to be picked up. They met acquaintances and they said they saw an altar that followed where Eka went."
"Yes means right, that they are one frequency with you."
"Don't go to work?"
"Easy. I'll follow you to college. In any case, I don't want anything strange to happen to you."
"Actually Eka is lazy if you have to go to college with them."
"Don't do that. They arrived early in the morning to pick you up. Appreciate them."
"Yes, yeah. I want to get ready, Dad."
"OK."
