Ever since Ari bought the drawing equipment, he's always been in
his desk. He rarely holds his bike. Ari draws a child who likes to pick up toys,
what he saw in the well. Because lately the child often appears in
her room. Like tonight, when Ari was in his blanket. Her eyes
almost closed. He was half asleep. He could still see his room. And
the boy appeared there, in the middle of the room. Usually after that Ari does not
remember until he wakes up. But this time Ari wanted to be completely awake.
He tried to sit. He saw the boy standing in front of him. That kid
wearing white clothes and pants. His hair was sparse, his teeth were barking, his eyes and ears
widths. His legs are long and have a lot of fur. In both hands he held
something's. That's Ari's toy. The game was long lost. After that Ari
he could not remember until his mother woke him.
“Build Ari, it's your milk is already on the table,” said Ari's mother
while cleaning the blanket.
Ari rubbed her eyes. He's still a little sleepy.
“Lho is your old toy is here?” Ari's Mother
astonished to look at the floor. But after that he walked to the door carrying a shirt
dirty Ari.
“Later noon there is a new symbol coming here,” said Ari's mother
again, closing the door.
Ari quickly sat down. He looked at the floor of his room. There's two
toys there. Plane toys and toy cars. Last night the boy
stand there carrying this toy. Ari rushed to his desk. He opens a book
draw and start scribbling his pencil. This time he was serious
draw a picture. The child who liked to pick up the toy was so clear in his mind.
The following nights Ari slept soundly. The boy no longer
coming again. Until one day Ari woke up from his sleep. Sound from the direction
the well woke him. The sound of a broomstick. Looks like someone's sweeping a broom
lidi in the well. Slowly Ari got out of bed, he thought it was morning, symb
the new ones have started to sweep. But when you look at the wall clock, it's still a clock
2. Ari's steps are restrained. He's the window lyrics. Behind the curtain it's dark\, mark
the lights in the well area are not turned on. Ari is still standing. What might be a sweeping symbock
the nights with the lights out? Curious, Ari opened the curtain. It really is, in
dimang well area there mbok-mbok is sweeping using a broomstick. Like symboks
that new one. Wear a barricade and a kebaya. But this one has her hair down. And
her legs are long and hairy. Spontaneous Ari ran towards her bed. He's closed
his head with a pillow. The sound of the broomstick was still heard. Ari tried
closed his eyes. He forced her to sleep. In the morning his mother woke him up. Moments
Ari drinks her milk she hears her mother's conversation and the symbock at the well. Standoffs
complaining to his mother, already 3 times the broomstick is always lying on the edge of the well,
he always kept it in front of the kitchen door.
“I never makai Mbok, Simbok times forget,” said mother
Ari while putting dirty clothes.
“I always keep it simple on your doorstep Ma'am, yes where there may be
rats can pull a broom into a well,” serious word symbok.
“Cock smelly cigarette yes mbok?” mother Ari said as she stood
next well.
“Bapak kali Bu, was ngrokok? Symbok word origin guess.
“Father from the past never ngrokok Mbok,” replied Ari's mother
stepping into the kitchen.
And simbok still discuss the problem of broomstick. Ari knows
who wears a broomstick. Mbok-mbok rich symbok. But his legs are long and
feathery.
Tomorrow, ask permission to leave his job.
Because earlier in the morning he saw women wearing hooks and kebaya go into
wells. Father Ari said, maybe the symbol is not at home. He's just looking
reason to get out.
But after the symbok came out and replaced more mbak-mbak
young, Ari doesn't hear the sound of a broomstick anymore. The nights he didn't
awakens. One morning Ari's mother woke her up.
“This milk you drank cold,” mother Ari put
a glass of milk at Ari's table.
Ari still familiarized her eyes with the light of morning.
“This picture of people kok feet kayak monkey?” Ari's mother is still
standing next to Ari's desk. He seemed to be watching something at
tabletop.
there is something strange, why the picture of Ari is on the table. Ari never did
leave the picture there. Everything he put in the drawer. Ari is approaching
tabletop. He's growing in wonder. Pictures of a child who likes to take toys lying in
his desk. And on the left right of the child's picture there are not obvious scribbles
like a tangled thread. And Ari's pencil was next to her. Terbesit Ari
imagining his mother prank him out of a drawer and doodling
with pencil. Or maybe her new maid? With annoyance Ari deleted
scribbles in his picture. The picture he put in the drawer.
The next day, it always happened in the morning. Picture
the one Ari had put in the drawer, the morning was lying on the table, there
scribble on his left right and there's a pencil next to him. Until one morning Ari
ask his mother.
“Ma, mommy yes who came out Ari picture,” asked Ari in front
his desk. His mother opened the door.
“That picture? Mama doesn't know. It's not you who drew.
What the hell is that picture. Serem. People kok feet like monkeys,” then
ari's mother came out with dirty clothes.
Ari was still glued in front of her desk. It seems like this time he
won't erase those scribbles.
That night, Ari was already preparing for bed. His eyes are half
I can still see his desk. The picture was deliberately not put into
drawers. In a lying position, Ari smelled an unusual odor in her room.
It is like the smell of cigarette smoke when the neighbors are smoking. Not long after, Ari felt
someone entered his room. There are three people. But they didn't come in from the door.
They came out of the wall that leads to the well. They stood in front of Ari. Ari
I have no intention of waking up. But with his head still stuck in
pillow, he wanted to observe what was in front of him. The one in the middle, Ari already
very familiar. Kids who like to pick up toys. But now he's grasping
pencil Ari. To his left the old woman is like a symbock. But her hair
ravelled. He's got a broomstick. On his right the old man wears
caping like a farmer. On his finger was a cigarette. Their feet
all long and many feathers. Ari did not move a bit
his position. He just wanted to observe closely what was in front of him.
Until the sleepiness makes him unconscious.
In the morning, his mother woke him up. Usually
Ari is hard to wake up. This time he rushed to his desk. Pictures and
the pencil is still there. His mother was a little surprised to see his son who started
draw a picture. When he left, his mother stopped. He saw a double broom
on the wall of the room leading to the well.
“Lho's broomstick kok is here,” Ari's mother wonder. Him
looking at Ari. The boy was busy with his pictures. But Ari's mother started
think. There's no way his son brought that broom here. The kitchen door leads
to the well when night is locked. Ari won't be able to open it because of position
the key is too high.
“Ijah, here jah!” ari's mother called the maid. He asked
why is the broomstick in Ari's room. The shooter didn't feel like putting a broom there.
But Ari's mother doesn't seem to believe it. He told his maid to put the broom
in front of the kitchen door.
Then Ari's mother came closer to the window. He felt there was a smell
something's.
“You what the hell is this? How does a cigarette smell?” mother Ari advances
his nose. He breathed air around the window. Then he came out and came back
bring room fragrance. He sprayed it into the corners of the room, especially the
it's by the window.
Ari still did not flinch with the picture. He doesn't care
with his mother's busyness. What was in his brain was now so clear. She wanted
spill everything onto drawing paper.Since he knows, the drawing is incomplete.
After removing the tangled streaks of yarn he began to draw two figures on the right
left a picture of a child who likes to take toys. Almost half an hour Ari choked
scribble paper. When he finished, he was satisfied. This is the best picture
he once made. Pictures of families living in the well.
