The night was getting late, even so my eyes did not want to be closed at all. The shadows of the events of that time always swirled in my head. Like asking me to finish it immediately. I turn off the room lights and close my eyes. Suddenly I felt someone breathing right in front of my face. I'm starting to get goosebumps. My hands crept up to turn on the sleeping lights next to me. I gasped in shock, when I saw a long-haired woman in white who was right in front of me.
“She's near you Luna” said the woman with her voice that enough to make the feathers stand up and then immediately disappear.

“Still in the morning instead of breakfast even bengong” Said sofia while going down the stairs. I looked at Sofia who was walking towards the dining table with a huff.
“Fi, I want to tell you something with you”
“What story?” Sofia asked to sit next to me and take some bread and put some chocolate butter on it. I was silent for a moment. Looks Sofia waiting for me to open my voice.
“Evennight mom comes to me”
“Ah this you, it must be just a dream”
“This is real Fi, last night mom came to my room. Mom sort of said something but I don't understand what it means”
“I know you haven't been able to completely let go of mom” Sofia looks at me pity.
Sofia is my half-sister. Her mother died by suicide two years ago until my mother married her father. Even so Sofia was very kind to me. She thinks of me as her own sister and Sofia is also dear to my mother. However, a few months after the wedding of my mother and her father Sofia. My mother died. He was found in a warehouse located behind the house in the state of a kitchen knife stuck in his stomach. To date who killed the mother has not been revealed. Maybe that's what mom wanted to tell you last night
This afternoon I sat at the back of the house looking at the weeds and some flower plants that swayed to the rhythm of the wind. Dad hasn't come home from work yet, and Sofia goes to her friend's house to do college work. I smile every now and then as I, my mom, Sofia, and dad do some gardening and sometimes mom and dad sit on the bench I'm on right now watching me and Sofia sing like professional singers. Mom and dad just laughed and sometimes clapped at the silliness of the two of us. But all of that is now just a sweet memory. In the middle of the silence I heard the voices of two people arguing from the kitchen. I'm heading there to see. I peeked out from behind the window. It turns out that the gardener and his wife who is also the maid in this house are talking something.
“ssst.. ma'am, don't be loud talking about it later anyone hears us”
“Pak, you must immediately confess to Mr. Rudy” Desak bi Lilis
“But ma'am, dad was afraid”
Tiinnn, the sound of dad's car stopped their conversation. I immediately went out the back of the window to see my father.
I'm still thinking about the conversation between Wahyu and bi Lilis. What do they mean by having to confess immediately. Indeed the end of this end exactly after the mother died the behavior of Pak Wahyu and bi Lilis is rather strange. Especially the Revelation. Every time I meet my father or Sofia, Wahyu suddenly gets nervous like a frightened person. I talked to Sofia in her room.
“Iya also yes lun, That time also I had seen the day before mother died. Mother is angry with the same Mr. Revelation, because mother thought Mr. Revelation took the money in the drawer of the room mom”
“What do not Pak Revelations revenge the same mother and continue to kill the mother, that's what you mean?”
“Mungkin” Sofia out of the room to the bathroom to clean her mask. I was still silent while thinking. Suddenly I felt someone breathing behind me. Her breathing was so felt in my neck. I slowly looked back hoping that it was just my hallucination or that Sofia.
“She's near you Luna” I'm surprised not to play and almost yell. Even though I know it's mom, exactly the spirit of mom or something. Still I was afraid of such an embodiment.
“You why Lun?” asked Sofia who went into the room and saw me scared.
“Mother. He delivered the same message as that night Fi” Sofia hugged me.
“You must have lost Lun's mother so much, I'm the same. I've considered mother as my own birth mother” I immediately let go of Sofia's embrace.
“I'm not crazy Fi, it's real” I said half-screaming then left the room leaving Sofia. Sofia came to my room.
“I mean I'm not like that Lun. I also lost my mother tragically. I've experienced that twice. At that time I also experienced the same thing that hallucination” I was just silent because however I explained to Sofia, surely she would not believe.
“Luna, tomorrow you have to come with me” Sofia said shortly before she left my room.
—
“Where are we going Fi?”
“We want to walk all shoping”, he replied while continuing to style his hair in front of the mirror
“I'm not coming to Fi”
“You must join Luna, you need entertainment. If at home you will be sad continue”
“Sofia, does this have you?” Sofia nodded. Then she was busy dressing up in front of the mirror
“Why just next door? Where else is it?”
“Ndon't know, may fall. You really don't want to come with me?”
“Lain times Yes Fi” .
After Sofia left, I went back to her room. Fortunately, his room was not locked. I immediately picked up the earrings and returned to my room. It turns out to be true, the earrings were a pair of earrings that I found in my mother's hand when I first found her body. Suddenly I remembered those words “She was near you”what does the word “dia” mean it is Sofia?. I think I should ask the Revelations sir. I saw him cleaning up the barn.
“A.. What's wrong here?” ask the Revelator who saw me walking towards him
“This sir I want to ask something same mr”
“You want what is neng?” Ask mr. Revelation. It seems like he is nervous right now.
“Do you know anything about the mother's murder a week ago?”
“Ke.. why neng Luna asked me that. I don't know what what. Sorry neng me again a lot of work” Pak Wahyu immediately walk out the warehouse. However, I immediately pulled his arm.
“Sir, I'm sure you know something about the murder. I beg you sir tell me”
“Se.. actually that night I saw who killed Luna”'s mother
“Who sir?” my question is getting curious.
“Di. she it... she it.. neng Sofia”.
“Sofia...?!” I can't believe that Sofia killed Mom. How come?. Amidst my shock, Sofia suddenly walked in clapping and laughing.
“Good, finally you know also Luna”
“Sofia, what was said sir Revelation is not true right?”
“Unfortunately all of it is true Luna”
“Ta.. but why can you do all that?”
“You want to know why Luna? Because I really hate your mother and of course you” Sofia walked over to me.
“You must be confused my dear Luna, okay I will tell you. Your cheap mother has taken my father.”.
“My mom didn't snatch your dad Sofia, mom married your dad after your mom died” cut me.
“Shut up!!!. Don't you know why my mother killed herself?. It's all because my mother knew that I was going to marry your mother. My mother does not want honey. And you know what Luna hurts my mother's heart and mine's?” Sofia pulled my arm hard. He took a razor from his bag and scratched the razor in my hand. I grimaced in pain. Fresh blood came out from the wound.
“The pain exceeds the wound I scratched on your hand!” Sofia pushed me hard. Until I fell.
“..and now I'm going to make you catch up with your poor mother. I knew sooner or later the police would arrest me. But what a difference it makes to kill one or two people” Sofia pulled out a knife from her bag about to stab me. I tried to fight back by throwing him some stuff in the barn. But Sofia was getting more savage she tried several times to stab me and finally the knife managed to hit my stomach. I collapsed helplessly. My view is blurred. Just then it was faintly faint I saw Sofia laughing and it was finally dark.
When I realized I saw myself lying in the hospital. Next to me is my father, Wahyu and bi Lilis.
“You've realized nak?” Ask dad. The look on his face showed that he was so worried about my situation.
“So.fi..a” I said staggered
“Tenang neng, Sofia has been secured by the authorities” said Pak Wahyu. I smile.
Tonight my father comes home and tomorrow he will come back to see me while Mr. Revelation who is in charge of accompanying me tonight is out to buy food. I was in my own room reading a novel. A nurse came in and checked me out. During the examination the nurse always looked down so I could not see her face. After he finished he came out, then he stopped at the door and turned to look at me with a cynical smile.
“Sofia!!”
