Catastrophe In Old House

Men Piano Players - Episode 9

"Assalamualaikum," I said as I stepped into the house.

It is now 18:00 WIB. Soon the magrib will arrive and the Adhan will reverberate. A sign that the working time of the sun at our place has been completed and changed the schedule with the round moon. As I thought, all had gathered in the living room, busy with chatting to each other gave rise to a familiar atmosphere because it was busy all day without seeing each other.

Our family is like this, from the morning sometimes can no longer see each family member's face, they have gone to their respective destinations. So this twilight time is most used by parents so that we all want to gather in the family room. Talk to each other or just laugh watching television.

But different from the usual day, when I entered, the tv did not turn on and no one told the story, silent with their anxious faces.

"What's wrong?" I just arrived seemed to miss the news or something. Their faces don't look so good.

"Risa? That you?" mama immediately stood up from her seat, she walked towards me, or rather ran small. There were tears in his eyes.

What's the matter?

"Where are you Sa? It's been two days since you came home, don't you know we're worried? Why not report?" This time it was the father who spoke a little with a tinge of emotion.

But he remained in his sitting position while my mother and brother were standing looking at me full of question marks.

"I mean dad? Two days not coming home? Risa only went 5 hours, not half a day well, how can the story be two days?" This time I asked.

"Later you clear everything, wherever you have been for these two days, the important thing is now to change clothes first, out of nowhere you Sa, until it gets wet like this," said the mother while holding back tears.

I just nodded in agreement, going to the room with a gaze that asked for an explanation that I myself did not know what explanation I should give.

Arriving at the room, I took the phone that had been in the bag. When I turn on the screen at that time I was shocked, wait a minute...

Isn't the current date February 16, 2020? Why is it on my phone on February 17, 2020? Was the wrong battery to remember or was the father's words right?

Question after question swirled over my head, I quickly changed clothes and went straight to the family members who had been waiting since.

"Now is the 17th right?" I don't believe it.

"Yes, you just realized?" Rudi asked while putting aside the phone he had just held.

"It's not the 16th? Don't joke dong Rud, "I'm making an unconvinced protest.

"So right, Risa didn't come home for two days? But as Risa remembers, Risa's gone ready to go and go straight home," I don't want to be accused of being obscure by my parents.

Indeed, in fact I went straight home, and did not linger on the journey. I remember clearly that.

"Where are you going?" Finally, I opened my voice.

"Risa to Kembang village," I answered honestly.

Hearing my words to the four people in front of me except Rani widened her eyelids.

"What's? To Kembang village? Brother, you know what place you're visiting?" Rudi looked frustrated listening to my answer just now.

"What is the same village?" Rani's question represents my question.

"Thank God, at least you can go home, he said, whoever goes in there will not be able to get out of the village, there are some who managed to go home but it took a long time, he said, there are two days, a week, even new years to reach his house, but for those from the village of flowers, they are there shortly, just like you are the same. But who would have thought, they arrived at his house after a few years later," explained the father who gave me goosebumps.

Fortunately I was able to go home within two days, and there was no need to wait for years, in fear I was also grateful that at least my fate was not that bad.

"Why did you go to Kembang?" Mom's question got me straight up!

Looking for a dead friend's house? Isn't it cool, or just say a walk? Where's that alibi from? Since when do I like to walk.

"Ee.. anu... ma..., that's. big brother..," I squeezed my skirt out of nervousness not knowing what to answer.

Rani, who realized I was standing up and pulled my hand to go with her.

"Ma, later nanyain brother, adek already sleepy, but want to be in the older sister?" Rani's Subjection.

"It's only 19:00, baby, is it sleepy?" ask mama.

"Gara waiting for my sister to come home, adek not enough sleep last night, so now drowsy, can ma? Rani sleeps first?" the reason my sister made is quite potent.

Look at the mother smiling and nodding to give permission, Rudi who saw you enter Rani's room stood up and entered her own room. It seems he wants to continue playing the game.
