Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Full Moon

 

Vivi spent the whole day struggling with her schoolwork. Whether at school or at home is the same. She didn't even have time to go to the cafeteria because she was focused on last week's assignment that she hadn't finished yet. In addition, she also has to study because next week she will face the semester exams.

"How could I forget that the semester exams are coming up. It's all because of that crazy guy! I forgot the most important thing, which is studying."

After that incident, Vivi's focus was often split. She couldn't focus on studying, sometimes in the middle of studying she would daydream for no reason. And every time she daydreamed, Vivi always thought about the crazy man. This made her very restless and frustrated.

"Ouch, my score can't go down, especially since I'm on scholarship. Plus now I'm in the 3rd grade of high school. Ah, shit. Fortunately, work was canceled for a week. At least within a week I can only focus on studying," said Vivi while summarizing the sociology subject.

After struggling with the summary task and interspersed with learning math. Iya glanced at the clock on her cell phone, which turned out to be 8:30 p.m. She looked at the window. She turned her gaze towards the window and realized that today was a full moon.

"Wow, full moon. Crazy, it's really good. It's a good thing the weather isn't cloudy today," she said, taking out her cell phone and opening the camera-shaped icon on the screen in the bottom right corner.

Vivi intended to take a picture of the full moon from the window. Suddenly, she remembered the memory of her late parents who once invited Vivi to see the full moon from the roof of the house. Remembering what happened 10 years ago made Vivi sad and happy at the same time.

"Ah, if only that incident hadn't happened. I would still be with them today."

There is one sad event that Vivi has experienced. However, she herself didn't really remember the incident due to deep trauma. Making herself deliberately forget about the event.

"Haisshh... even reminiscing about the past. Never mind, I have to go home now. The library will be closed soon."

Vivi tidied up her books and returned the library books she read to their respective shelves. After that, she signed the visitor's book on the table near the exit.

Before going home, she stopped at a roadside stall to fill her stomach. Because she was so focused on studying and completing her assignments, Vivi forgot that she had not eaten lunch and dinner. She only had breakfast, and even then only with bread and milk.

"Mang, order 3 fried catfish and rice. Don't forget an ice orange and 1 water each."

"Ready, Sis! Eat here?"

"Yes."

"Then don't take too long, Sis.The problem is that it will be closed at half past ten."

"Eh, how come it's so early."

"Yes, because of the recent murder cases, residents are encouraged to close their stalls early. Well, the murder incident is indeed very disturbing. You personally are also afraid, because the target can be anyone. Whether old, young, or children can be their target," Mamang said while preparing a pan for cooking.

"That's right, let's cook quickly. Hehe... I'm hungry."

"Ready, Sis!"

While waiting for the food to be finished, Vivi opened her cell phone to play games. She didn't want to read today's news, because it only made her overthinking. Actually, it had been 3 days since Vivi read the news at all. For the time being, she wanted to avoid the news about the murder.

Even so, today Vivi felt something was off. She seemed to have forgotten something. However. She couldn't remember what she had forgotten.

"Tsk, what's wrong today? I have a bad feeling. Like something is going to happen tonight."

Vivi kept thinking until she didn't realize that her food was already served on the table.

Mamang, who saw Vivi daydreaming, tried to call her. "Neng, you're daydreaming. The food is ready."

Suddenly she was surprised, not realizing that she had been daydreaming. Then she made a grinning face.

"I'm just being paranoid. Never mind, let's eat. I'm hungry," he thought.

 

The clock struck 9.05pm, and Vivi had finished her meal. After paying, she hurried home. Her heart was restless, as if it would be captured by something. She didn't understand why she was like this. Arriving home, she unlocked the door and turned on the light in the living room. She looked around every corner of the house to make sure there wasn't anything strange.

"Okay, it's safe. Then I'll just go to my room and wash my face and go to bed."

Vivi took the room key from her bag, as soon as the door knob opened the room was still pitch black. However, when she turned on the room light. She saw a man covered in blood sitting on a bed filled with red roses.

"Welcome, My Bunny."

The crazy man came back. His presence this time made Vivi both scared and angry. She was afraid of the horrible sight before her eyes. At the same time, she was angry that the man dared to dirty her favorite mattress. Plus it was covered in blood. This made Vivi very angry.

"HEY, BASTARD! W-HAT THE FCK! THIS IS MY HOUSE! MY BED GOT DIRTY, DAMN IT!"

"Why do these creatures like to enter people's houses so much! It's a nuisance!"

"You! You piss me off so much, I want to fry your kidneys."

The crazy man was surprised by Vivi's unexpected reaction. Instead of being scared and crying, Vivi was ranting like a mother scolding her child.

The man smiled, liking Vivi's reaction. Especially listening to her nagging.

"Hahaha! Look at this human, you have a unique reaction too. I like you," said the man.

"And I don't like you," continued Vivi.

"Hahaha!" The man laughed very loudly. Like an enemy laughing in a movie or drama. To Vivi, his laugh sounded like an actor who was acting.

"It's a bit different, this guy," said Vivi while folding her hands in front of her chest.

"I'm scolding you, and you're laughing?! It's beyond reason. You're a creature of another species!" she muttered, still very annoyed by the man's presence.

The man stopped laughing, instead he smiled at Vivi. "You're unique, aren't you? Instead of being scared, you're grumbling. Normal people are scared when they see this. You, on the other hand, are grumbling like a neighborhood mom."

Fear was definitely there, but for now, Vivi shook off her fear. She was even more angered by the man's words.

"Eh, it's good to talk like that, realize yourself first! You've entered someone's house without permission twice! Is that polite?"

"Just be polite."

"Heh! You were never taught manners, were you? Let me teach you. If you want to enter someone's house, you must first ask permission. For example, knock on the door and say hello. If you knock three times and the person doesn't show up, it means they're not home. Do you understand?" To her annoyance, Vivi had to explain at length about the manners of entering people's homes. However, the man showed a mocking reaction.

"What's with that expression, huh?! Are you mocking me?!" Vivi grumbled.

This time, the man couldn't help but laugh. Moreover, he was being lectured by a girl who was still in the 3rd grade of high school. However, his laughter stopped as soon as he remembered that his intention of coming here was not to have fun. But, to pick up what would become 'hers'.

"Haaah... enough games already, you have to come with me."

Vivi was surprised by the change in the man's expression that looked serious. Of course Vivi would flatly refuse.

"NO! Who are you to tell me what to do?"

The man walked closer to Vivi, until the distance between them was only 15 cm. Then, he held up something covered in blood, right in front of Vivi's eyes.

"Do you know what this is? This is a human organ, a heart. According to the tradition of 'our' nation, handing over the heart of a living creature to a lover is a must as an engagement gift. And you should be my fiancé."

"Huh?! What does 'Our Nation' mean? Is it a figure of speech?"

There were three things that Vivi was currently feeling: confusion, fear, and anger.  However, Vivi could not stand the sight of human organs that were still covered in blood. Her stomach immediately reacted, feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit.  Vivi squatted down and closed her eyes to relieve her nausea.

"Damn it! You crazy man," she cursed in a low but sharp voice.

Seeing Vivi who felt nauseous, the man smiled and lifted her body like a sack of rice. The man immediately jumped from the window of Vivi's room and ran at an incredible speed. Instead of easing, her nausea became even worse.

"Alright, this is called kidnapping-"

"HEY! CRAZY MAN, LET GO OF ME! I'M GOING TO PUKE, LET GO OF ME OR I'LL PUKE ON YOUR SHIRT TOO!"

 

"SHIT!"
