The Bridge of Satan
Awal

I woke up tomorrow at 07:30, my God! I'm late for school. This must be because of last night's events that made it difficult for me to sleep and as a result I woke up late. I immediately went to the bathroom to shower quickly after putting on the uniform. Then I picked up some bread at the dinner table and went out of the house to go to school immediately while eating bread on the way.

And I was never late for school, because that's why my father and mother didn't have to worry about me and went to work in the fields in the morning. I immediately rushed to school quickly, once at school I immediately climbed the stairs and arrived at the door of my class.

Brak!

All the friends in my class were shocked and noticed that including the teacher who was teaching in my class were also surprised because I broke down the door.

"Sorry." I said, bowing my head before my teacher.

"Tumben you are late Dawn, if so quickly sit down" said Mr. Bowo who did not care about my attention and continued to teach classes. Then I immediately sat down after being invited to sit by Mr. Bowo and put my bag on the bench.

"Pssst... dawn, tumben once you're late, what's wrong" whispered Agus who sat beside me.

"I'll tell you later, so shut up until the bell breaks" I whispered.

After that Mr. Bowo continued his studies until it was finished. I kept paying attention to her lessons while thinking about the nightmare I had last night to tell my friends. Maybe my friends would be scared if I told them about the nightmares I had.

So, whether I have to tell it or not, if in my dream I met Mr. Budi who disappeared a month ago who was suspected for crossing the demon bridge. But in my dream, Mr. Budi actually passed the bridge...

"YAHOOOOOO!!!" I shouted loudly in class while Mr. Bowo's class was still going on. Everyone was a little and looked at me in wonder. I didn't realize I was still scared of the dream. Even earlier, I briefly saw the figure right in front of me and our eyes stared at each other.

That's why I screamed so loudly.

"Fajar... Why are you? do you have a problem?" said Mr. Bowo who was astonished at me.

"Ti-no sir!.. nothing.." I said while scratching my head.

Then after that learning continued and I decided not to think about the dream first and focus on the current lesson. I keep trying to focus on learning even though my mind wavers because of the nightmare, I still force my brain to learn and forget the nightmare until the lesson is over.

Kingggg! kringgg! until finally the break bell rang and I felt relieved to hear the sound of the break bell. I put my head on the table limp and tired from fighting with my own mind.

Then my closest friends came to my desk. They must have wanted to ask me why I was yelling in class. Well, I will answer them and tell them my nightmares in order that they would not dare to approach the Bridge and not that they would be afraid.

"Dawn... Are you okay today?" said Lilis who looked worried about me.

"If you have a problem, just tell us" Anis continued with her jutek face, she doesn't seem to worry about me at all, huh.

"I'm-I'm, okay guys, thanks for worrying about me" I said, who inexplicably didn't want to tell my friends the nightmares I had. It's weird, but I want to tell it to my friends.

Suddenly, my feet were shaking and I was scared too. I was afraid to tell them about the nightmares I had, I was afraid that they would become like me. Continuing to feel restless and scared like me, I didn't want them to feel it.

"Huh..had he didn't seem to want to tell us, what can be done" said the disappointed Grace.

"I think that makes him late for school and yells in class because he feels frustrated because he lost his football match with his team Zilan" said Agus whose remarks really make no sense. But my friends even made Agus' speech as the cause of my problems today.

It really isn't like that! I don't care about that defeat at all! what makes me look like I have a problem is because of that nightmare. They even comforted me so as not to feel frustrated because they lost playing football.

"Tumben once we don't immediately run into the field as soon as the break bell rings, hahaha!" laughter Wawan.

Then we immediately went down the stairs and towards the football field below. It turns out that today the football field is controlled by Zilan for a number of times and now they are competing with their own class. Finally my friends and I sat on the sidelines to watch their game.

As soon as I was focused on watching their match, suddenly my gaze was shifted to the side. Even though it was covered by some trees, I could still clearly see the woods that made it as the base for the bridge.

"Feel my super kick!" zilan shouted while kicking the ball hard. Aushhhh! the ball bounced so far behind the opponent's goal. That means the ball was hovering near the trees towards the bridge. Instantly everyone who witnessed where the ball was floating went silent for a moment.

"Ah... The ball.." muttered Ardi who was gawking.

"Oh how is this? I kicked him too hard. If the ball is lost we can be scolded by Mr. Joko" said Zilan who panicked for fear of being scolded by Mr. Joko who is a gym teacher at this school.

Then because Zilan panicked and feared scolded by Mr. Joko, Zilan finally decided to run towards the bridge to take the ball back. Everyone was shocked and shouted to forbid Zilan to go there. But none of them chased after them to stop him because it was dangerous.

Finally my friends and I decided to accompany Zilan to go get the ball, "Let's help our friends Zilan!" said Agus who ran first chasing Zilan then one by one my other friends followed Agus who was in front of them.

Meanwhile, I sat down beside the field and saw my friends running away from my sight and into the forest. The deg! deg! deg! deg! my heart was pounding more and more as I saw my friends getting further away from me. My feet trembled in fear and my palms were filled with sweat.

Nah! I can't be afraid! as long as we're with my friends, we'll be fine. I finally strengthened my heart and mentality to catch them into the forest by running as fast as possible before it was too late. I should have just told my friends my nightmare story, so sure my friends wouldn't go near that bridge.

Meanwhile, Zilan who had arrived first near the bridge, was looking for where the ball was "Ah, it turns out the ball is on the bridge. I had to take it" said Zilan who then thoughtlessly went to get the ball and crossed the bridge.

Meanwhile my friends who first entered the forest from me looking for where Zilan went, "Hah...huh.... huh.... where did the child go? uh, very fast run the boy, it's worth Dawn always loses in taking over the football field" complained Rahmat with his gasping breath.

"True, we know what Dawn feels, haha" Bagas laughed as he scratched his head.

"Those friends.." said Anis whose face was pale and her eyes bulged while showing her index finger across the bridge. Instantly everyone felt creepy and surprised to see Zilan was already on the bridge.

"CHRISTYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!" shouted my friends who called Zilan loudly so that he would return to sebrang.

"Eh? guys guys! you are here too, thank goodness. I was actually very afraid if alone" said Zilan who felt relieved.

Then all of a sudden I came and shouted loudly "ZILAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!! HURRY BACK!!!" I shouted loudly which made everyone surprised by my existence which had just arrived screaming.

"Well, wait for me, brother." said Zilan who walked across the bridge.

Zilan continued to walk slowly while watching under the bridge that the wood was already fragile and howling. Under the bridge there is a very heavy river flow. So Zilan walked slowly so that he survived to reach sebrang. Until finally he arrived safely and also with the ball he brought.

But...

"Zilaaaaan! what are you doing!? hurry back!" shouts friends.

"Zilaaaan! why are you even going there!? what are you doing!?" Shouted Agus.

"ZILAAYAN! ZILAAYAN! YOANGOOOO! HURRY BACKIIII!" My screams were loud and my fear haunted my heart again, as did my friends.

What exactly is going on? did Zilan not arrive and be with me and the others. Well, that's what Zilan saw... Zilan went into the forest on the bridge. Zilan walked further and the fog got thicker and we no longer saw the figure of Zilan there.
