The man in the dark

The man's lips touched my hair, down to my forehead, Then kissed my two closed eyelids, I held back my heartbeat which was getting louder and louder, His lips lowered to the tip of my nose, he kissed my lips slowly, his breath felt warm on my cheek.

Oh my god... what is this feeling, I feel like I don't want to stop, The longer my body felt, the hotter it felt, now his lips went down to my neck, I closed my eyes feeling the sensation spreading throughout my body.

“Aaakhhhh..., Stop and don't read anymore, I feel the story is more terrifying than a horror novel." Tata shouted, while Reva, who suddenly stopped reading the online novel in her hand, immediately pursed her lips.

“You're the one who told me to read this novel out loud, right? It's better if you just download novels yourself and don't ask other people to read them to you." Reva felt annoyed by Tata's shout, she immediately got up and went over to the table and took a can of cola, She stepped over to Tata's bedroom window and stood there.

"You're thirsty, aren't you? That's why don't read the romantic genre for adults, just read the romantic genre for teenagers." Tata now moved to follow Reva, standing in front of her bedroom window, Open the window wide so that the breeze can freely enter.

“ The house in front of your house, is it really inhabited like there's no one in it, it looks dark without a single light on." Reva muttered while pointing to the other side.

"It was also clear that the house was uninhabited." Reva just nodded hearing Tata's answer.

"But... why is there the sound of a piano coming from that house every night?” Reva Curious, the corner of his eye glanced towards Tata

“ I'm also curious about who actually plays such a beautiful piano sound every night, do we need to investigate?" Tata's eyes twinkled in

response to Reva's pouting lips.

“ I'm too lazy to entertain curiosity, I'd better just go home." Reva stepped out of Tata's bedroom.

“ Go home alone, I won't accompany you home, so you'll be scared if you meet a headless ghost." Tata giggled but then gasped because Reva had pulled Tata's hand out of the room.

...

Tata stopped his steps next to a two-story house located at the end of the F block row. This house is opposite Tata's house which is located at the end of the G block row. From the side of the back yard, the sound of the piano sounded very classy, Tata glanced at the side door which was slightly open.

“ Come on, let's go home, don't think about going into that house." Reva grabbed Tata's arm because she knew what Tata meant. But Tata didn't pay attention to her friend's prohibition, instead she grabbed Reva's hand as she ran into the back yard of the house.The two of them stopped in the middle of a neatly arranged garden with a swimming pool in the right corner of the garden, This garden is so dark, only the light from the moon illuminates this garden.

"Let's go home, I'm scared." Reva was shaking beside Tata, but Tata instead let go of her hand and walked to the sound of the piano as if hypnotized.

“ Tata!! Where are you!!" Reva screamed hysterically when she realized that Tata was no longer beside her. The sound of the piano playing stopped when he heard Reva's scream. A second later there was the sound of footsteps and loud shouting which made Reva run out of the garden. Tata was shocked to hear a man's shouting and immediately ran to nowhere because the room Tata entered was pitch black.

“ bukkkk!! Tata hit something which finally caused him to collapse to the floor.

...

Tata blinked her eyes several times, Opening and closing my eyes felt the same as darkness for me, Tata tried to sit up, Tata wasn't sure whether she was still alive or not. Tata felt around her, it seemed like someone had laid her down on a soft sofa, Tata immediately got up and lowered her legs from the sofa.

“ Are you aware? Does your forehead still hurt?" A man's voice startled Tata, but because of the pitch darkness, Tata didn't know where the man was.

"I still feel a little pain in my forehead." Tata touched his forehead, it felt sticky as if she had smeared it with medicine.

“ Of course it will hurt, because you hit the wall before you fainted earlier." The man's voice now seemed to be close to tata. Tata was shocked when a bottle of cold drink was pressed to his cheek. Tata immediately grabbed the bottle.

“ Thank you, could you just hold it out and not stick it to my cheek?" Tata rubbed her slightly wet cheek.

"Oh, sorry, it's dark in here. I think if I reached out towards you, you wouldn't be able to see it. Drink it so you feel better." Hearing that, Tata immediately took a sip of the drink in her hand.

“ But I'm still alive now, right?" Tata felt a little worried about this dark place.

“ Of course you're still alive, earlier you ran and Hit a wall, then fainted and I was the one carrying your body onto the sofa."Tata was still unsure of the whereabouts of the person he was talking to because he couldn't be seen, it was too dark for Tata's eyes to adjust.

“ Can I sit next to you, you seem confused about my position."

"Of course, sit down." Tata felt next to her and found someone's thigh. Tata gasped and realized that the man was already next to her.

"Huh, you're perverted, you carelessly touch people's thighs!" The man shuffled slightly away from Tata.

“ Oh, sorry, because it's dark, I was groping carelessly." Tata grimaced in embarrassment.

“ Can you tell me who you are and what your purpose was for entering my house, did you intend to steal something in this house?" A series of questions were asked by someone beside him.

“ But I'm not a thief, you know? My name is Regita Octavia, I am usually called Tata , My goal in entering this house was just because I was curious to hear the very melodious sound of the piano, and I hear it every night, it's natural that I'm curious, right?" Tata felt a little annoyed because she was suspected.

"It's true that your aim is just that, where did you hear the sound of my piano from?" The man next to Tata continued to ask probing questions.

“ I heard the sound of your piano from my house, opposite your house is my house, is it clear now?" Tata was still annoyed by this series of questions.

“ Still, your actions were wrong because you entered someone else's house without permission, after all, how did you enter my house with all the doors locked?"

"I saw the back garden door open, that's what made me curious and I entered your house without realizing it, come on, we won't argue about this issue, right? I know I was wrong, I'm sorry, can we talk about something else?" Tata wanted to end the question the man beside her was already suspicious of her.

“ What would someone want to ask who had entered someone else's house without permission?" Tata was annoyed even though he had apologized but the man next to her still brought it up.

“ Lots..! Please call me Tata, I told you my name, right?” Tata widened his eyes in annoyance, but in the eyes of the man next to her, Tata's face with widened eyes looked like a cat, the man held back his smile, A smile that no one can see.

“ OK, I'll forgive you this time, I'm key. What do you want to ask?"

“ Your name is Key? Are you older or younger than me? How long have you lived in this house? If this house really has occupants, why doesn't it turn on the lights? I'm annoyed because I have to open my eyes to see, but I still can't see." Tata sighed with a series of long questions, Meanwhile, the man next to her chuckled at the look of despair.

“ Of course I'm older than you, You look like you're still in middle school, I'm twenty one years old, I've lived in this house for three years, I deliberately didn't turn on the light because my eyes have problems seeing light, Does that make you no longer curious?" Key smiled seeing Tata's round eyes looking very cute.

“ I'm not a junior high school student, even though my body is small, I'm already in high school and in second grade.Does key also live here alone? How can you see in a place as dark as this?"

“ Of course I can see it because I'm used to it, I live here alone and that's normal for me, You're the only person I've chatted with all this time, of course I feel happy to meet you, are you also someone who doesn't have friends so you enter other people's homes without permission?" Tata was stunned to remember what she had forgotten.

“ Oh my God, I forgot my friend who came here with me, Didn't you find her passed out next to me?” key shook his head while shrugging his shoulders.

"I have to go home immediately to see where my friend is." Tata got up from his seat.

“ Let me take you home." Key took Tata's hand, but Tata brushed him off.

“ What are you doing, my house is close to here, I can go home by myself." Tata tried to act firmly against someone who had touched his hand carelessly.

"Are you sure you can go home alone? Get out of this dark house by yourself?" Tata was stunned, she just realized that only someone who could see in the dark could lead her out of this house.

“OK, sorry, can you take me out of this house?" Tata stretched out his hand to the man beside her.

“ Of course, I hope next time you'll come back here and chat with me again." Key took Tata's tiny hand, leading her safely towards the front door.
