Midnight Foot Step
Chapter 9 - The Midnight Footsteps

"Dance! The dance! You why?"

Shouts and loud shocks on her arms, made Tari wake up from the daydream. He turned his head and looked at Siska who was already crouching in front of him.

"Siska," muttered Tari.

"Why you?" siska asked worriedly. Then, he took her cell phone that was lying near her feet.

Dance like a dazed person. He was not aware that his body was slumping and sitting near the stairs. He also did not know if his phone had slipped out of his grasp. He was completely shocked by the information just now.

"Let's get up!" said Siska while helping Tari stand up.

When she stood up, Tari took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He did it over and over again to make the tightness in his chest loosen up a little.

"What's wrong?" siska asked in full search.

"Tadi ... Arum's mother called me" said Tari. His voice is still stuck in his throat.

"Continue?"

"Tadi .. was___"

"Let's get a drink in the cafeteria! You calm yourself there, after that we talk slowly," asked Siska.

Dari nodded and agreed to Siska's invitation. Then, the two of them walked towards the canteen.

Upon arrival there, Siska immediately ordered a drink, while Tari just waited in the chair because her energy had not fully recovered.

After Siska came, Tari sipped a drink quickly, even a full glass almost barren down the throat. After that, he spoke.

"Arum was in a coma three days ago" said Tari still in a quiet voice, but very clearly in Siska's hearing. The girl turned back so surprised.

"Koma?" Siska repeated the Dance speech in stammering. He did not think that his friend was so bad. As far as he knew, Arum was just sick of typhoid.

Dari nodded, "Said her mother, Arum came home since last week. Yesterday, I actually met him. He greeted me and led me to my room. I didn't see wrong. I could have sworn, it was Arum."

"But, I actually met her Sis. We talked a lot. I know you're rooming with him, that's also from Arum's story." Dance still remained in her opinion. He wanted to convince Siska that his vision was not wrong.

Siska was silent, not knowing what to answer. Looking at Dance's expression, Siska was sure the girl wasn't lying. But, it's impossible to justify, because he knew Arum wasn't in the dorm.

"My meeting with him, it felt really real. But if he's in a coma, it might be real. Ahh, for a long time I was crazy to think about this," said Tari in frustration. He held his head while shaking loudly.

Siska hasn't spoken. He let Dance with his own actions. He thought, maybe that way Dance can release a little burden.

After quite a while of silence, Siska exhaled a rough breath. Then, bring back the dark incident when Arum was still in the dorm.

"Before Arum got sick, he was gone for a day and a night" Siska said.

"Lost?" Dance surprised.

"Yes, he's missing. No one knows where it went. We all tried to find, but did not meet. After a day, he was found. He was in room 201 and was unconscious. After that, he was sick and sent home, until now," Siska said.

"Room 201, my room?" tanya Dance. Right now, his heartbeat was already out of control.

"Yes." Yeah." Siska nodded. "Actually .. our dorm is haunted. Almost all the occupants of the room had heard footsteps in the middle of the night. But, right at the sight of no one," he continued.

"Have you been too?" tanya Tari, and Siska responded with a nod.

"Seriously?" The hair began to stand on its own.

"What am I lying to?" answer Siska.

Within seconds, Tari and Siska looked at each other. Both do not talk and only wrestle with their own minds. A thought that makes them more creepy.

Although Suana is still daytime and crowded with people's activities, but Tari and Siska feel the cold ambush on the nape. Although it has been rubbed many times, but the feeling remains, even more so.

Finally, Tari and Siska decided to leave from there. But beyond their knowledge, a sinister figure was grinning in the corner of the canteen. His gaze could not be separated from Dance and Siska.

In an instant, the sinister figure walked up floating. I don't know what he's going to do, which is obviously currently following Siska and Tari's steps. As the distance got closer, his hand stretched forward and almost touched the shoulder.
