ALAS ROBAN [END ]
DEATH COLLISION

After a great deal of effort at last, they were able to sleep as well. Azam slept soundly while Bima dreamed of something bad. In his dream, the bus he was riding on had a terrible accident that left all the passengers dead, except for him and Azam, both of whom survived. Although just a dream, Bima can feel how much pain her body. Bima examined the injured part of his body until he finally woke up from the dream.

Unfortunately, what happens in a dream also happens in the real world. The bus he was riding, was really in an accident. Collide with a bus from the opposite direction. The intense shock of the collision sent all the passengers bouncing from their seats. The bus rolled a few times. The bodies of the passengers hit whatever was on the bus. Starting from being hit by a chair, iron grip to being crushed by the body of fellow passengers. This made Azam and Bima faint.

A few moments later, they slowly awakened. Both of them groaned in pain while looking around. Bima was stunned to find everyone lying down. Carefully, Bima noticed the stomach of one of the passengers who did not move at all.

"Is he.. not breathing?" mummified Bima.

"Bim, are you alive, are you dead?" ask Azam slowly.

"Basic, fucking friend!" bima Gerrutu.

"Bim, my bones are broken."

"Importantly, you're still safe."

"Let's get out Bim! looks like the bus is about to explode."

"Hush!"

"In the movies it's like Bim."

"Well, can you still joke?"

"Yes-yes sorry!"

Azam and Bima tried to get up and stepped slowly, checking one by one passenger, maybe there are still survivors. Unfortunately, all have been killed including the driver and also the kernet.

"Innalillahiwainna ilaihi rojiun, this great calamity is Zam."

"Yes Bim."

"We're looking for help!"

"Yes." Yeah."

Slowly the bima and azzam got off the bus, about to seek help but when they were outside, one by one the passengers woke up to confuse the two.

"They are all safe." said Bima in the heart.

To be honest, there was a sense of relief seething within the chest. Both also said hamdalah, grateful because the accident did not take a single life.

"We'll check Zam!"

"Yes Bim."

Terrible things happened afterwards. As Bima and Azam got back on the bus to check, the faces of the passengers shattered. There were his eyes coming out of his petals. There was one side of his head that was badly dented and many passengers whose limbs were incomplete. Azam and Bima immediately ran out again. They are convinced that all passengers are not human including the driver and his kernet as well.

Sure enough, the bus that was originally overturned now returned to its original position and slowly drove away leaving Bima and Azam in the middle of Roban's pedestal. Both of them were astonished, it was unexpected that from now on, the bus they were riding on was a demon bus. All passengers on the bus are not human. Bima was sitting limp on the ground. Azam, meanwhile, held onto his trembling knees. Both of them could no longer speak.

"Yes, what is this? why did it come to this?" bima Mind.

"How is Bim now?"

"But Zam, my legs are limp."

"Sama" Azam answered, straightening his legs and sitting on the side of the road.

The night is so thick if the moon does not shine brightly that night. After the condition of the body returned to normal, Bima and Azam rose up and ventured to walk, down the streets in the area of Alas Roban.

"Related Bim?"

"Are you going to stay here all night?"

"Totally so."

"Just keep going until you meet for a ride later!"

"Yes." Yeah."

Since there was no choice, they started step by step down the streets of Alas Roban. It was inexplicable how fear dominated the inner two of them. Look straight ahead while occasionally looking down. Worried that something unexpected might appear before them. The esophagus feels choked, dry lips along with pain that radiates throughout the joints.

Whether real or illusory, the silhouette of a person's body can be seen from a distance. Azam and Bima hesitated however, having no choice but to walk closer. With all the courage left, they put great hope. Wish that silhouette, true human. An inch at a time, step at a time, slashed the distance between them, until the two were directly faced with a silhouette that turned out to be true, human. A man about thirty years old was staring at Bima and Azam.

"You walk?" ask the man.

"The story is long, can you help us?" sahut Azam's.

"I want to give you a ride but as you can see, I only use a motorcycle. Can it be three?"

Bima and Azam looked at each other.

"Look, we hitchhiked out of Alas Roban. After that, we will intercept the bus again" Azam suggested.

"Hemm.. alright, let's go up!"

"Thank you, my name is Azam."

"I'm Bima."

"I'm Bayu."

"Thank you so much Bayu!"

"That's the same, don't hesitate!"

...🍂🍂🍂...

Along the way, they occasionally talked. There was no strangeness, only the cold wind that pierced the bones until finally, Bima realized, no other vehicle passed. As it turned out, this matter had been realized Azam as well but the two companions, choosing to ignore. Think of them, the most important thing is to arrive at home. Other things, put aside first.

After fifteen minutes of walking, something terrible happened again. Mas Bayu who was slender, slowly his body grew and rose to make Bima and Azam fall from the boncery. When they were examining each other's wounds, the figure who claimed to be named Bayu, stared intently at the two. Suddenly they screamed and quickly ran in droves.

..."Tiins..! Tin! Tiinn..!"...

A pick-up car honks a few times before stopping and retreating back to approach Bima and Azam who look exhausted.

"What's wrong, why are you running?" ask a middle-aged man driving a pick up car.

"Father man?" ask Bima.

"What do you think? wh why? where are your vehicles?"

"Sir, help us!" sahut Azam's.

"What's going on?"

"There are ghosts and buses.."

Not yet finished Azam spoke, the middle-aged man asked the two to hurry up.

"Thank you very much sir!" answer Azam while riding to the pick up car.

"Drink!"

Bima received a bottle of mineral water that was extended to her while saying thank you.

"Alhamdulillah," said Bima after chugging a few sips of mineral water.

"Who are you and what's going on?"

"I'm Bima sir and this is my friend, Azam. Actually, we went through an unlucky night to drive home this year."

"Damn how?"

"The bus we were riding on turned out to be the devil's bus."

"Ah are you right?"

"Truly sir, there are so many mystical things that we experience. We ran on this road earlier because we were disturbed by this Alas Roban waiter."

The middle-aged man only frowned when he heard the story of Bima.
