"THE COUNTRY BEHIND THE RAINBOW"

mysterious neighbor 2

In his life, recently santiago experienced strange events such as last night between believing and not believing, between reality and a hallucination, but he really experienced and felt it.

what happened to him further encourages curiosity about the actual reality of what he saw.the morning sun peeked from the sidelines of the bedroom window.The sound of car horns passing in front of the house began to sound boisterous.santiago opened his eyes.

he was still sleepy, and was intending to sleep again, but he thought there was something important he had to do today so, he decided to get up soon.

activities on campus in another week will only start.today santiago intends to clean the yard of his house with albert.after bathing, he went to the kitchen to meet his father who was preparing breakfast for them both.

"good morning dad, how are you today?dad looks fresher and dad's face looks radiant.I'm glad to see my dad like this."

santiago teases his father.

"you're right, santiago, my mind is a little calmer to be here with you, son, than I have to live with such arrogant and selfish people as amanda, and her son."

"dad, don't think about it anymore.we should now taste the father's cooking that smells good on my nose.and I know, my father is a great farmer and chef."

joking, they sat down at the dinner table and tasted Mr. Albert's delicious cuisine.

santiago's father is a very good type of man.since childhood he always spoiled his only son by giving him more attention.especially when santiago in stay away his mother when he was seven years old.

from then on, albert had to be a single parent to his son before he married a selfish woman named amanda .this man is accustomed to cooking because he must always provide food for his son.sir albert does not want his son to lose the slightest affection from him.he did so for many years, until santiago matures.despite losing the mother figure in his life, he did not want to lose the mother figure,but Santiago felt he never lost his mother's affection because his father had become a father, as well as an extraordinary mother for him.this is how mister Albert raised santiago,his son was the single most precious treasure in his life.however, Santiago did not abuse his father's affection.

he grew up to be a handsome, humble, modest young man even though his parents came from the background of the richest man in the village, with the largest tea plantation land in the region.

"eat a lot of santiago.all of this I prepared for you."

mr. albert was happy to see his son finish the soup he cooked so voraciously that santiago sweated.

"dad, thank you but I'm so full.daddy's soup is so delicious."

with a big laugh, master albert was flattered to hear his son's praise.after it was over, Santiago remembered to call his best friend andrew.

quickly he immediately contacted his friend, he asked Andrew to come to his place immediately.

while waiting for andrew to come, he did his job outside cleaning the car garage, and also the yard.when watering some of his favorite rose pots, santiago's eyes were fixed towards the old house across the street.

from the front, the wall of the house has been peeling.and the paint color has partly faded.while the yard in the grass and many shrubs among the lush tree trees that grow in the front yard and beside the house.

"what could this old house still be in someone's habitation?and what's the girl doing now?"

santiago looked at the house, he wanted to know what his neighbors were doing during the day.the longer he looked at the house, he said,there was no sign of anything there and nothing that could make him sure that the house was inhabited.because there was no movement whatsoever he saw.there were only a few dogs belonging to the neighbors who were another, while playing around the yard.sasa want to know santiago getting bigger.he intends to approach the house again and try to sneak among the trees and weeds that grow high around it, he said,however, just as he was about to cross into the street, suddenly a red car stopped right in front of his contract.

"hi, buddy, how are you?well, turns out you're so diligent about santiago?just this time I saw you holding a broom in your hand."

laughing out loud,

he stopped his car and immediately greeted his old friend.tuan albert also welcomed the presence of Andrew.

"hallo son andrew, how are you?"

"i'm good uncle, uncle, how are you?"

"santiago, when did you and your father return to this house?"

andrew asked as he wiped the sweat that came out of his body.

"me and dad just came in yesterday.lau, how about you what are you doing during the college holidays?"

"i was at home just accompanying Grandpa to golf, and taking care of my pet dog."

for several months without meeting, the couple exchanged a lot of stories.sir albert let them chat with excitement.he went into the house preparing something for andrew who had just arrived at that place.

"then, what was your purpose in asking me to come here?tell me about last night's events you've been through."

santiago also began to tell about the events he experienced last night with his neighbor sicily.andrew was surprised to hear the story of his friend.

"is that right go, then where is the girl now?is he at his house?"

andrew began to ask, to ascertain the truth of Santiago's story.

"that's why I invited you here.I want you to help me solve the mystery of the girl in the old house.you look ahead, across the street that's the sicily house and she's been living there.but since I woke up, you've seen her,I haven't seen him at all."

santiago confidently showed the old house across the street facing his residence.

"hey bro, I do believe that ghosts exist.and they are invisible creatures.but if indeed the girl invites you to her house, then you are served food, and also drinks, too,that means sicily's not a ghost."

santiago thought for a moment.

"it makes sense also andrew's words.Is it possible for a ghost to serve his guest with food and drink?"

andrew and Santiago then devised a plan on how they would investigate the red-clad girl who lived in the old house.While speaking, Andrew threw his gaze at the house.

"wait a minute go.try you pay attention to the good sicilian house either. are you sure if the house is still inhabited by someone, and are you sure if the house is like that, if the house is already like that,anyone else want to live there?

look, the house is peeling and the color of the paint has faded.then, the wall is covered with moss until it looks blackened from the outside.you believe, the girl lives there?no one would want to live in a house that has also been overgrown with weeds and a large tree that covers the house.If there really is, maybe she is a witch because, if there is one,witches prefer to live in old houses covered in thick trees and weeds."

santiago thought andrew's words could be that what he said was true.It makes sense too, too,

"maybe you're right ndrew.what if we go there, and make sure.we see if there are people in the house or not?"

with intention and curiosity, Santiago invites andrew to look directly at the place.andrew agreed and they then crossed the road to the girl's house.day was still day, and the,and there was no fear of the two young men, they surrounded the house between the weeds and under the trees growing in the courtyard.

"santiago, look here."

sound andrew calling.santiago quickly followed andrew to his place behind the house.

"look carefully at these windows.some of these windows have been destroyed and broken all.seems like this house has long been left.and may have been many years."

santiago was surprised to see a window that is almost all hollow.he tried to pull one of the windows.it turns out there is a window that is not locked.hardly he pulled it, so that finally the window was successfully opened.
