The Poison: Stories Of The Number 27
Intermezzos

“Sister Edwin..” Lirih Xennora with a breath of breath.

“Why? Why are you running gini? Good thing it didn't fall..”.

“It, earlier... There was... There's a girl, in the room down there..” Xennora replied, the sweat slowly pouring from the temple made the man in front of her even more confused by Xennora's seemingly frightened demeanor.

“Female? I live alone Ra... Aunty came home usually this afternoon.”.

“Kak don't kidutin..” Xennora's whine was getting panicked. He clearly saw a woman smiling at him in the room.

Dazed by Xennora's expression, Edwin invited Xennora to come down and calm down on the living room sofa. “Nih drink first..” Edwin said while giving a glass of mineral water that was immediately taken by the girl and gulped it down.

“It seems you are not kidding, the water until it runs out. In a moment, I bring you again.” Edwin said while taking the glass that Xennora had placed on the table. Before Edwin left, Xennora held back her arm.

“No to brother... Here, I am not thirsty.”.

“But you still look shocked, briefly, I won't be long kok.”

Xennora let go of her grasp and sighed furiously while looking around her. It's bright here, unlike the situation on the second floor. God, he didn't believe in ghosts before. But what is this...?

Wait a minute, if Edwin lives alone, why are there so many rooms in this house? Looking at the room at the end of it, its size was also not playful. Very spacious. He believes the other rooms are equally spacious. Or there is even a much larger main room.

On the other hand, ‘Edwin’ not only filled Xennora's glasses, but he also went to the garage that was located side by side with the kitchen.

“Ed, can't... I want to cry..” He said in front of someone.

“Udah there, do not let Mother angry.” Edwin. Yep, that was not Edwin, but Leo. My God, even Xennora did not realize that the one who took her drink was not the real Edwin. Edwin's twin brother, Leo. The hyperbole man was strangely accepted at Cambridge.

Instead of going from there, Leo looked up as if holding back his tears that would come out at any time. That was true, but the thing was, the man was overdoing it and upset Edwin himself.

“Sana anjir.” Kan, hurry up to be Edwin. Leo with his steadfast face then returned again to the living room, not forgetting to bring a glass of drinking water that he had refilled.

“Sorry, old yes?”

Xennora shook her head, her condition looking calmer than it was a few minutes ago. “No also, by the way, what happened to me here?”

“It—” Leo's words disguised as Edwin were cut off when he heard the voice of the home phone. Leo went to answer the phone after permission from Xennora. The girl looked around for the umpteenth time while waiting for Edwin. Fortunately, he had already told Bhiyan that he would be home a little late. Xennora glanced at where Edwin had received the call, but the man was no longer there. The girl frowned in surprise, even though she was a guest, was it polite to leave the guest alone like this?

“Ra! Come here for a minute!” Shouted Edwin who sounded a little far from where he was sitting. Xennora rises to search for Edwin. The girl is circling the first floor now. The first room he saw was the music room. Xennora went in there because the door was made of glass, after all the door was open, it seemed like Edwin was here.

“Kak! Where?!” Xennora shouted, but there was no answer. The girl was then interested in approaching a shiny black piano in the middle of the room. The piano was illuminated with the light of the lamp making it seem to be an iconic item in this room.

There's a score there, a song that seems familiar to Xennora. But he wasn't sure he'd ever play it. Xennora had never even sung the song, but why did it feel like she knew this song so well?

“Kak?!” No more answers. Now, it was not fear that Xennora felt, but curiosity. The girl sat down and prepared to play the song on the piano.

Il est entre dans mon coeur

(He has filled the space of my heart)

The une part de bonheur

(One happiness)

Dont je connais la cause

(I know why)

C'est lui pour moi, moi pour lui dans la vie

(Me and him are meant to live together)

Il me l'a dit, l'a jure, pour la vie

(She said that to me, swearing on it for a lifetime)

Et des que je l’apercois

(And so I realized it)

Alors je sens en moi

(I feel it inside me)

(My heart is pounding)

Suddenly, there was the sound of items falling around him. Xennora soon regained consciousness and left the room after it was felt that there was no Edwin there.

“Kak?” Call Xennora. Again, no answer. Xennora continued to walk every inch of the house. He stopped at a door, in which there was a noise of people chatting, but still sounding faint. Xennora entered the room which turned out to be a private theater. It is not the pants of the room in the cinema, but it seems that if used to watch class is still enough.

The noise was indeed here, it was from the movie that was playing. Xennora had no idea what this film was, which she obviously had never seen before. Even the cast was not known Xennora, including the main character.

“Sen, look at this! Not really a Jungkook??”

“Iya Yes Antha... It's up to you okay?”

Antha's? That sounds familiar to Xennora. Any more... He felt deja vu. He felt familiar with all this, Well maybe Xennora should immediately look for Edwin rather than in the impolite stamp for wandering around other people's houses these nights.

As Xennora stood up, the scene instantly switched where the two main characters were on the rooftop of the school in black suits. The female lead is seen trying to open the roof door using a bunch of keys in her hands. Xennora believes, if the main character who knows what his name is unlucky, then they have to spend all night on the roof of the school together. Because the key is so much.

Suddenly, the main character of the man behind the girl realized the presence of someone who pointed his knife at the female lead. The man sacrificed himself, but the girl was not even aware if someone was injured behind her and continued to focus with hundreds of keys in her hands.

Xennora shook her head slowly while still looking at the main character of the man who turned around after the departure of the criminal earlier. Instead of asking for help, he invited the girl over for a chat. Foolish, is he not going to continue his life?

“Sen... Who else likes it?”

“No tuh. I don't like anyone anymore. If the context likes that brother means the feeling more.”

Xennora's head again felt heavy, again this was like deja vu. Really deja vu. He even went back to the weight of the burden he felt.

“By the way, lo beautiful tonight.” Said the male lead.

“Ck, a hell of a trash. Look at your situation first please..” Cibir Xennora was still holding her head as if it could come off at any moment.

“Have to say it now. Later aja brother, please.”.

“Jaga-jaga... If there's no more words in my life.”.

“Kak, what the hell?!”

“Sen... I still love you.”

“Ah!” Xennora screamed because her head became sore. It usually just feels heavy, but it also hurts. Xennora grimaced as she felt her hair as if it was being grabbed with all her might. He also felt the surroundings rotate, so Xennora held the side of the chair tightly, but it did not affect anything because the surroundings were normal. All that was heard was the sound of the cry of the female lead.

“Gue don't like Xennora, I don't like her.”

No, Xennora was sure this was not the dialogue she had heard from the speakers of this room. But his voice seemed to echo directly in Xennora's ears as if someone had invited her to chat from a distance.

“Gue is tired of cheating on you..”.

“If dyinget-inget, what makes you not like me?”

“Bogged.” Said a woman with her flat intonation.

“That's more arrogant. If you want to have a temen, yes say anyway.”

“There's Antha kok.”

“If I don't tell Fadhil to invite Antha acquaintance lo, most until now the same you just me... I'm a.”

“Crazy Julian, knows people are not writing anyway?! Don't do it! Emotions.”

“Gue nyesel... Though I don't have to ask Fadhil to make deketin lo first.”

“Diem deh, this is me again to do the proposal. So the chairman if he can just tell ya don't bother too.”

“About that time I was just a acquaintance of lo, what would happen huh?”

“Holly keep going!”

“Lo knows not Sen...? Ah, you won't understand. You're bego, hehe.”.

“This is you if you dare!!”
