-The clock hand in Vanya's room just showed one hundred and twenty minutes past nine, but Vanya had already put her favorite radio in Mami's room. Don't be surprised, Vanya is actually allergic to radio. Not even just allergic, but scary. When I saw the radio I felt like Satan's Hat. Hearing the sound of the radio, for Vanya, is like hearing the voice of a kuntilanak. And Vanya suddenly became really scared. The victim was clearly Papi. He was dragged everywhere to accompany him. To the bathroom, to the stall, to study. Papa is clearly very uncomfortable. The aftermath became annoying. After he was enjoying reading the newspaper, Vanya suddenly dragged his feet and told him to accompany him to get a doll from the attic. "Eee, why are you just playing with drag? Is Papa a napkin?"
Vanya is indifferent. After all, if it's not like that, Papi won't want it.
-Vanya is really scared.
It's like last night, Mami accidentally turned the radio up loud, Vanya immediately became hysterical. Even though the radio is broadcasting developments in onion prices
gondol. Only what Vanya heard in her ears was not longish onions but longish kuntilanak!
And tonight is no different from last night or the night before. Vanya was always scared. In fact, usually every night, before going to bed, Vanya has to listen to the radio first. Or while reading textbooks. But since there was news on the radio about the appearance of a mysterious announcer who was hosting the Diary program, Vanya couldn't listen to the radio anymore. Worried that the mysterious announcer would appear.
Yes, rumors about the mysterious broadcaster are already very popular at Vanya's school. Especially Vanya's friends who like listening to Vanya's Diary program say that there is a mysterious announcer who always appears every time Vanya finishes broadcasting.
"Good evening, listeners wherever you are. As usual, every night it gets late, I will accompany you..." came the faint sound of the radio from Mami's room.
-"Mi, Mummy put on the radio, okay?" shouted Vanya.
There's no connection.
"Mommy, turn on the radio, okay?"
Still no connection.
Meanwhile, the announcer on the radio was increasingly busy offering greetings. "Mommy! Turn on the radio, it's so late, darling!" Vanya screamed while banging on Mami's bedroom door. Mum's out.
"What's wrong, kid? Why are you banging on the door at night?"
"Mommy, why are you turning on the radio so late at night? Vanya already told me not to turn on the radio just yet!"
"Hey, Mami did tune it in but I listened to it with headphones. I accidentally heard it myself."
"Well, s-so the announcer's voice means the mysterious announcer's voice, right?"
And for the umpteenth time Vanya fainted again.
-***
-"Tonight, Papa will take Vanya with you, okay?" Vanya said softly as she slid against Papi's feet who was busy tying his shoelaces. Papa is a cool duck. He had just had breakfast and was packing up to go to the office.
His old VW Combi had been warmed up a long time ago. The sound of the engine sounded like Mami was snoring in the room.
Vanya continued to whine. But Papi was still engrossed in his shoelaces, which were untidily entangled. Even his index finger is stuck!
"How about it, Pi, would you like to accompany Vanya to broadcast Diary like last week?" Vanya said again, still in a soft voice. Papi still didn't react. Even though Vanya rarely spoke to her father in a soft voice. Usually screaming loudly.
Papi is still curious about Susye's shoelaces.
"Pi...!" said Vanya in a more sulky tone. Vanya's hands nosily tugged at her shoelaces. Papi pouted and slapped Vanya's hand. The shoelaces that were almost finished tying became messy again.
Papi returned to correct it.
Vanya became increasingly annoyed and pulled Papi's shoelaces again.
Open again!
Papi returned to fix it without the slightest protest. He stayed away from Vanya. Then carefully tied the shoelaces: And... it worked!
"Thank God...," sighed Papi while sipping the remaining coffee.
"Bad papa!" Vanya screamed suddenly. "I don't even want to ask for help from my child. What's more, I don't want to ask for help from my child."
"For example, who?" Papi teased.
"Mom!"
"Hus, you can do it."
"Damn Papa, you're evil!"
"Tonight, Papa is very busy. It's impossible to take you. Besides, you could have invited Vienna to accompany you. In the past, you never invited Papa. Why is your Papa bothering you now?"
"Since there was a mysterious announcer, Wina doesn't dare to take Vanya with her anymore, Pi. She's a more timid child than Mami," said Vanya again.
Papa nodded.
"But, what's clear is that tonight Papa won't be able to accompany you. Papa will be a bother!"
"Why do you have so much heart, Dad?" Vanya grumbled as she got ready to pull Papi's shoelaces.
But, failed. Papi was already in a hurry to leave Vanya, who was stunned.

-Vanya has really become like a child in the last three weeks. His behavior is really bad. Especially before the Diary broadcast which is held every Friday night. Vanya must have sulked and whined to Papi so that Papi would accompany her on the broadcast. The problem is that the program which used to be broadcast from ten to eleven has been changed to eleven to twelve.
Vanya is actually not a scared child. Usually he also broadcasts his own diary. Or sometimes Wina accompanies her if she has extra money to treat Wina to nasgorkam.
But ever since there have been rumors of a mysterious announcer who always reads the Diary in full. Vanya broadcasts, Vanya cash no longer dares to hang out alone in the studio at night. Wina also immediately threw away her good intentions to accompany Vanya on broadcasts as usual even though she was lured by Nasgorkam.
The emergence of rumors about the mysterious broadcaster was not accidental. That was when Riska, who was in the same class as Vanya, asked Vanya.
"EhVanya, you're broadcasting Diary until one o'clock now, right?"
Vanya, who was not really aware of the question, answered casually. Even while having fun licking Toblerone which was melting in the heat. "Ah, no, Ris. You know where I come from broadcasting until one o'clock. It's normal, only until twelve o'clock.
"If it's not a Saturday night, the permission to broadcast is only until twelve o'clock!"
"I was following your broadcast. But how come you broadcast until one o'clock? I was also surprised. That's why I asked you."
Vanya was a little surprised.
"Ah, really?" he asked in surprise.
"That's right, I can't lie, right?" Riska assured.
But at that time Vanya didn't want to believe it.
"Maybe you're dreaming, Ris!" Vanya denied.
Even though Riska continues to insist, Vanya still doesn't want to believe it. Until Vanya got another question from Erwin, a classmate who was a fan of hearing Vanya broadcast.
"Wow, your Diary broadcast last Friday night was really scary. I had goosebumps. I couldn't sleep. Damn it. Especially the last hour, right? Oh, by the way, your Diary broadcast has increased, right?"
"Add?"
"Yeah, usually it only lasts until twelve o'clock. But what I heard last Friday night was until one o'clock. I was actually very sleepy, but so I couldn't sleep, because it was so scary listening to you broadcast," said Erwin.
Vanya became confused.
"Really? What a scary story?"
"That, the sweet girl who committed suicide because she was pricked by a thorn "
"Ah, really?"
"What about you? You're the one broadcasting, but you don't know!" Erwin was a bit annoyed too, he thought Vanya was playing pilaga. Even though Vanya was telling the truth. Vanya really didn't feel like broadcasting until one o'clock. Especially reading scary stories like that. Hiiii....
Diary is indeed the closing broadcast for Friday night. Vanya herself usually goes straight home as soon as the broadcast is finished.
Coincidentally, the Diary program was broadcast live, because we were waiting for the letter to come in first, and in the afternoon Vanya was busy, she had too many lessons. So Vanya knows for sure that she won't increase her broadcast hours. What can I do anyway....
"Maybe there's someone sneaking in late at night and daring to broadcast alone?" asked Vienna, shuddering.
"Ah, but how is that possible, the studio is guarded by Mang Aka," Vanya denied.
"Is the announcer a boy or a girl, Er?" Vanya then asked Erwin because she thought, maybe it was Mas Darmo's broadcast, the service crew member who often slept in the studio. Sometimes he just plays around at night and tries to become a broadcaster.
"Girl. "
-"Girl?" Vanya was even more shocked. "Who, then?"
"Isn't that rightVanya?" Erwin asked, still curious.
"No, why am I broadcasting until one o'clock anyway!" Vanya answered.
"There you go!"
Vanya was of course confused after that incident. Sometimes he believes it, sometimes he doesn't.
"Really?" Vanya asked in her heart. But when Vanya's confidence started to wane, there were bound to be people who asked Vanya about the Diary broadcast. Finally Vanya believed again.
It was not until the following Friday night that Vanya was able to prove her curiosity.
At home, when the house was very quiet, Vanya carried the radio into her room. The story is that Vanya had just returned from the studio. Got home around half past one. So there is still half an hour to check for the mysterious broadcaster. Because according to Vanya's friends who had heard the broadcast, usually the mysterious announcer broadcasts until one o'clock.
The atmosphere is quiet. Vanya's hair bristled. Horrified, Vanya then turned on the radio. Searching for a wave- 101.6 FM.
Vanya almost fainted when she heard the faint voice of an announcer coming over the airwaves. Her voice sounded like Vanya's, but Vanya was absolutely sure it wasn't her voice. So who is in the broadcast studio alone at this time of night? Is it true that Ms. Vera deliberately increased Diary's broadcast hours without Vanya knowing?
Oh, no way. When Vanya came home, there was no sign that anyone would replace her duties.
Vanya listened again to the announcer's voice on her radio. Even though it was very scary, Vanya continued to be determined.
Erwin said it was true, the announcer always read Diaries whose stories were scary and sad. Sadder than Vanya usually reads.
Like this time...
"I feel like I have no meaning anymore. I also wonder why I always fail every time I start something. Everyone avoids me. Everyone seems to be hostile to me. Frankly, I'm bored with living like this.
I want to end my life. I know this is not the best way, but I have no choice anymore. I want to escape from this oppression at all costs..."
Mystical music played softly to accompany the announcer as he read the Diary. Making the atmosphere even more tense and scary.
"Hiiii...!" Vanya immediately got goosebumps, and threw the radio onto the carpet, then hid under a thick blanket. .

-The next day, when Vanya was on the afternoon broadcast, the radio kids were already in an uproar. Everyone asked Vanya questions. But for some senior announcers like Ucup, it seems like they already understand. "That's normalVanya. It's not strange anymore," said Ucup.
"Brother Ucup, have you experienced this too?" Vanya was curious.
"Often. According to broadcasters in the past, it is said that there was an incident where a female announcer here died because she tripped over her microphone."
-"Mike tripped? Why is it off?" Vanya doesn't believe it.
"Yes, because the microphone is tied to the refrigerator. "
Eh, it's just the same as bullshit if you look for information from a sableng kid like that. It's better to just ask Mbak Vera.
Vanya also looked for Mbak Vera in her office. Ms. Vera is currently researching a week-long broadcast program designed by Kepstu.
"Busy, aren't you, Miss Ver?" Vanya's tanva made small talk, small talk.
"I think so," answered Mbak Vera briefly.
"Can you have a little time? I have something to ask, Miss Ver."
"About the mysterious announcer?"
"How does Miss Vera know?"
"The children told me earlier."
"Then what do you think, Miss Vera?" Vanya asked seriously. It was so serious, his thoughts were blowing up and down.
Ms. Vera was silent. He took a deep breath.
"Why is Miss Vera silent?"
Ms. Vera rubbed Vanya's head.
"Ms. Vera doesn't know either. I don't know if it's true or not, it's said that when Ms. Ve-ra was still as big as you, when Ms. Vera wasn't working here, it was said that there was a female broadcaster who committed suicide because of a broken heart. I don't really know what the story is, but he said that girl also likes to host Diary shows like you.
There are also many fans. It's just that, the ending is tragic. It took quite a long time for the Diary program to finally be emptied. Until finally there's youVanya, and we're holding the Diary event again, because it's actually an interesting event. And maybe
The girl's spirit was impressed with you who succeeded in bringing the Diary program back to life, until she appeared "
Vanya pressed her body closer to Mbak Vera. His hair bristled.
"Why didn't Miss Vera tell you earlier?" Vanya protested.
"Actually, Ms. Vera doesn't want to tell you this. Ms. Ver doesn't want you to be afraid and believe in things like this. Ms. Vera is afraid that you won't want to broadcast again," said Ms. Vera.
Vanya fell silent.
But Mbak Ver quickly smiled to reassure Vanya's feelings.
"It's up to you, do you want to remove a show as interesting as Diary again?"
Vanya got to thinking. Actually, it's a shame that Diary was lost. Apart from the large number of fans, the fee for one Diary broadcast is quite large. Because the event was considered interesting. Vanya also had a debt with Vienna when she watched the VIP class Tommy Rage show at Istora Senayan.
"But you don't need to be afraidVanya," said Ms. Vera, seeing Vanya's hesitation.
"What do you mean, Sis?"
"That spirit never bothers us. Unless he's just having fun."
"Ha?" Vanya was shocked. Ms. Vera giggled at Vanya's look, which looked dumb because she was scared.
***
-That's why, now Vanya is feeling horrified. And in the aftermath, Papa, who was the victim, was told to accompany and accompany Vanya when broadcasting Diary.
It's useless to hope for Vienna. Since there was a mysterious news broadcaster, he no longer wants to touch the floor of Radio Ga Ga. It's boring to hang out, remembering Radio Ga Ga, I just don't want to. Anyway, there's no hope in seducing a cowardly child like Wina.
Meanwhile, I want to ask for Mami's delivery, equal to three money from Vienna. Never mind those things called devils, just seeing Ucup, Mami ran away in fear. It was only up to Vanya that Vanya could hope for much.
But, as you know, today daddy is having a hard time not wanting to accompany Vanya. How does Vanya not get dizzy? But Vanya is the type of girl who is too lazy, even though Papi clearly refused, when she came home from work Vanya was still annoyed.
"Come on, come on, Pi. I'll accompany Vanya later. Why does Papi have the heart, anyway?"
"Papa is busy, Vanya. There's a lot of office work to be done at home!" Papi refused curtly.
"Well, Papa can do that job from now on. It'll be neat at ten o'clock."
"Papa needs to rest. Papi is tired."
"If that's the case, Vanya will go home and massage her later."
As soon as Vanya promised to take a massage, Papi's voice changed a bit. Vanya's massage is the best, according to Papi. I don't know why, even though I've often been called a massage therapist, no one can massage as well as Vanya. That kid really has a lot of talent!
But... .
"Actually, apart from being tired, Papa also doesn't feel like waiting for you to broadcastVanya. What are you doing? While you're busy chatting away, Papa just sits there holding back his sleep. It's not good," said Papi.
"If that's the only problem, no problem, Pi. What if later tonight Papi also reads Diary with Vanya?"
"What? Papi is reading Diary too?"
"Yes."
"Is that possible?"
"Why can not?"
Papi looked radiant. Moreover, Vanya's promise to die mijitin was added. Wow....
That night, Dad really wanted to accompany Vanya to the broadcast in his beat-up VW Combi which had been heating up since the afternoon. Papi also joined in reading the diary in the style of a football match reporter.
When we got home, Vanya fell asleep in the back seat of the Combi. Only Papi was anxious, peeking in the rearview mirror. Oh, maybe the child forgot his promise to massage Papa's feet.
"Ol get up. "He said he wanted to do some mijitin," said Papi slowly when the VW Combi was ready
safe in the garage.
Vanya woke up, then immediately wandered into the house. "What's the matter, Papi? You're making a lot of noise asking for a massage. It's already late, isn't it?"
Dad was stunned.
-***
-The next afternoon after work, Papi was seen shuffling beside Vanya, who was happily reading Larry Wilde's crazy book.
"What's wrong, Pi? Why do you seem so busy?" Vanya felt disturbed.
"There's something I want to talk aboutVanya," answered Papi softly.
"About what? How come you look so serious?"
"When are you broadcasting tonight?"
Vanya was a bit surprised. "Yes, next Friday night, bro. So why, Pi?"
"Eh, Papa was invited again, right?"
Vanya furrowed her brows. Well, why did it happen? Usually it's difficult to get invited, but today I asked to be invited. "Yes, Vanya, I'm really happy if Papi wants to come along again. What's wrong? Why don't you bother, Pi?"
"Ah, Papi's so embarrassed."
"Embarrassed?" Vanya grinned in surprise.
"Ng... like this..." Papi was silent for a moment, then continued after looking left and right, looking to see if Mami was passing by. "You seeVanya. This morning at the office, people were praising Papi's voice. Apparently they also like listening to the Diary program. Especially the girls. They said, Papi has talent as an announcer. Papi's voice is good. "
"They said that?" Vanya stifled a laugh,
"Yo-a. Papa doesn't want to disappoint them "
Vanya tried her best to hold back her laughter.
"Yes, Pi. Papa will definitely invite Vanya."
"Eh, but I mean, if you can, so on "
Vanya nodded, as she wanted to excuse herself to the back. He couldn't help but want to burst out laughing in the room.
"Uh, waitVanya." Papi grabbed his hand as he was about to leave. "If there's a vacancy for an announcer at Radio Ga Ga, tell me, Papi, okay?"
Vanya gaped.
