After my mother left, Mang Yaya immediately invited me to the backyard while talking and explaining a little about this house, more to the work of mang Yaya.
Indeed, only the kitchen and backyard that I do not know about this house, which has not been able to explain Mother and also Father. Slowly walking while not stopping mang Yaya told me, seeing the state of the spacious kitchen, as well as the first impression of the front of the house, the middle of the house and other parts of the room, he said, the old impression still sticks to the same thing in the kitchen room as well.
“Wih cool well mang is still a very old fashioned,” said Salsa, so amazed to see the contents of the kitchen room, his eyes clearly around looking at the contents of the kitchen, he said, only the completeness that is visible today may be mang Yaya also prepared it
“True, nothing from the building of this house is changed, the historical value may be the one you want to maintain or..” replied mang Yaya, answer, it suddenly stopped like it was holding something that was almost thrown out of its mouth just like that.
“Or what mang?,” my question directly, sontak salsa saw me by raising two eyebrows together, maybe surprised by the tone of my question that suddenly cut.
“Yeh amang not finished, Bastian has cut aja cake pieces directly cut,” replied mang Yaya with a joking tone. But I'm sure there's a hidden sentence that just barely makes Yaya tick.
“Let's see the backyard, there are things you want to say,” sahut mang Yaya who immediately opened the door. And indeed there is a chair to sit back and relax towards plants that are so beautiful and pleasant to look at, what else is a beautiful night with the dark, adding a perfect impression on the colors of plants.
“The atmosphere is simple well Bas, brother, do not occasionally you enter the house next door, there is a locked door, connecting with the house next door. Don't ask why or be curious about anything, the pokonya never try to do this again,” said mang Yaya very seriously and pointed towards the dark green iron door, which was soon followed by removing a cigarette and burning one.
“Good mang,” said Salsa with no questions at all.
“This is 3 complete keys, all complete lock all the door rooms in this house, Bastian hold one and brother also hold one, amang morning, amang, afternoon and evening will often visit this house, as usual,” said mang Yaya as he held a sadness clearly visible from the look of his face and his two eyes, said mang Yaya, also an unsettled puff of the way Mang Yaya enjoyed the cigarette that was being pinned by his two fingers.
“Iya mang, Bastian understood,” answered me, staring at the very old gate, and indeed the wall that blocks this house and the house next door is quite towering until it is parallel to the tile of the house.
Not long ago, Mang Yaya gave permission to go home, and immediately told me and Salsa to rest. Soon Salsa and I turned on the television in the middle room.
“Finally Bastian so lecture haha,” said Salsa to melt the atmosphere.
“Iya nih kak, uh there is something strange not really from the house next to kak?,” my question with still holding the curiosity.
“The rules were that Mang Yaya had said Bas, just relax all will be okay with sister, tomorrow we go around your campus and to know first, just know, it just so happens that my brother's schedule is empty and the bus, okay,” replied Salsa with his leisure.
Iyah also I slightly agree with what Salsa said, and maybe only my concern, while daydreaming little by little open the old memory in this house, I do not remember a single thing at all, because it is such a long distance.
“Bas, very comfortable well this house,” said brother Salsa suddenly.
“Iya sis I also feel the same,” I replied in a flat tone because it began to sleepy.
“Eh is taught to chat even chat, lock first the front door sister lock the back door, spit let relax,” said Salsa brother who immediately left.
Immediately I walked forward and directly locked the door, as I slowly closed the window curtains, and looked towards the wall that bound the house, suddenly my shoulder feathers goosebumps just like that.
“Lah... kok suddenly like this,” I said, immediately I closed quickly and walked to the room to lay down.
“So there are no good movies on the laptop already connected to the TV if it is hard to sleep watch if there is anything awake aja well,” said Salsa, the same one immediately went into his bedroom.
No I answer the words of Salsa, because still amazed by the feeling that just came suddenly just like that. “ada what's well,” I said in my heart while forcing my eyes to be closed.
In the shadow of the closed eyes were just things that I was about to face I imagined to fight against the strange feeling that had just come.
I heard the sound of the windows opening, the eyes opening and the sunshine from the side of the house, waking me up from a very deep sleep the first night in this house.
“Prepared come on, brother has made the same agreement with sister later we walk three,” said brother Salsa while waking me up.
Soon I was in a new spirit, in this very cool city to start a lot of new things that will soon be a new experience that I will live.
Not long to see the clock turned out to be quite noon, at 09:00 this morning on Sunday I walked away from home, and brother Salsa story earlier this morning mang Yaya clean and make Salsa brother wake up, hear the story of Salsa a little make me relieved.
Immediately take public transportation and meet the theme of Salsa at one of the eating places, and sure enough the theme of Salsa's feet has been up to the look as beautiful as Salsa's feet.
“This is my hero Nah... knowin,” said brother Salsa while greeting Nenah.
“Hai... Nenah, Salsa many stories about you, it turns out much cooler than the story of Salsa baubles well,” replied Nenah, while sticking his hand.
“Bastian.. ah brother Salsa story what must be strange things,” I replied while trying to give a first impression that makes the theme of Salsa's brother feel comfortable.
After ordering my food, Salsa and Nenah told me a lot, not infrequently I became a joke of Salsa and Nenah because I was getting used to joking with Salsa so things like this are very familiar.
“Eh Sa, on the Street is the number of his house, I know how many times have passed there even though it is quite far again when heading to my house,” asked Nenah.
Nenah is native to this city, born and to the same age as my feet here as well, so for Nenah the name of the road and share the place certainly know right, so for Nenah, moreover, Nenah's close friend Salsa must have told a lot.
“No how much, forget the heck I Well, if not wrong No. 097, you know emang?,” asked Salsa.
“Oh, please change me occasionally if the weekend yah” replied Nenah
“emang kak Nenah know the way,” tanyaku, just to join chat with Nenah.
“Tahu Bas, because Salsa told me about moving with you to the former grandmother's house, I was a little worried anyway, it used to be a legend there was one incident in the house that was on that street, but the name also tells me well I assume it is only a story because it used to be so,” said brother Nenah seriously.
“How legendary story Well, you have never told me the same story?,” said Salsa's feet who look curious.
I heard the description of Nenah, immediately silent “hopefully not near the grandmother's house,” I said in a heart that began to worry.
“But well hopefully not my grandmother's house, my grandmother's people died of illness,” Salsa replied with a little jest.
“Yah is not also crazy lu mah Sa, yes hopefully not that, I forgot anyway later if remember I asked my parents first, hopefully aja Mamah still remember,” replied Kak Nenah.
Out of curiosity I still feel, although Salsa and Nenah enthusiastically give each other information about how everything related to this city, he said, and about the campus that later if I get accepted will not be too surprised by the new world that I will no longer live.
Still I asked about the story, which had happened on the exact street of the house I now live in.
“Eh brother, actually the incident that brother told earlier was on the road near the house that I now occupy?,” my question suddenly, immediately made Salsa's brother also direct toward me.
“The story I know from my brother Bas, continue mamah also never discussed but actually I forgot, anyways it has been a long time anyway Bas, Bas, but calm down the wealth is not very tight with your house, let alone the house number is also 097,” replied Kak Nenah calmly.
“Lagian Bas, later we ask the same mang Yaya well surely he knows so that you are not too curious so,” sahut kak Salsa give advice
“Mang Yaya who else is Sa?,” asked Brother Nenah, just like that.
“Ituloh Well, who takes care of Grandma's house I used to until now,” replied Salsa.
“Ya crazy... surely know itumah, really ask anyways the problem says just want to know and no mean anything,” said Nenah.
True also after listening to the advice of Salsa a little relieved, it is true that Yang Yaya will tell a lot when I asked about the incident. After the meal was over, then I, Salsa and Nenah continued to walk to one of the shopping centers and around until late afternoon arrived, and little by little about everything this city I understand and is pretty good at making me slowly feel at ease.
Until finally I, brother Salsa and sister Nenah separated due to different majors, while sister Salsa advised me not to ask such things to mang Yaya, while her brother advised me not to ask such things, fear of why-why and make me and Salsa so not at home stay at home. Because a suggestion built by a mere curiosity and fear.
“Home next to which there is a gate that mang Yaya forbid to open it brother know whose house it is?,” my question, I asked, while on public transport, the journey to Salsa's house and brother only flanged his head many times.
“Already well remember the purpose, and do not be weird, whatever we should know, someday will know also Kok Bas. Do not force what is in your curiosity alone dong, kasian Mother and Father already believe in the same we do not because strange things will cause strange things also ah well, ah well, it must be all right,” said Salsa, stroking my head.
Listening to Salsa's explanation has a point, I was in high curiosity, due to excessive worry in me. Though I was not without reason, Mother and Father himself since before my departure to this city several times gave an answer as if the answer would only make me calm.
Arrived at home right after the adzan magrib reverberated, I just relax in the back of the house while opening Salsa's laptop to check the site and find more information about the exact schedule of when I will take the university entrance test.
Not knowing why, my gaze focused on the laptop screen that was lit but it was like there was an attraction of its own to stare towards the side house with the gate, to make sure of the strange feeling I was feeling. I glanced in another direction next to the same towering high wall towards the house next door, “ mediocre”
Then I glanced at the house with the gate, and suddenly the fur of my shoulder just stood up, it was the same as last night when I just finished locking the door and closing the curtains. “kok can be like this,” I said while rubbing my middle shoulder many times.
I continued by ignoring this strange feeling, sometimes like there was a fixed notice I ignored, between the iron gate there was indeed a slight gap between the iron buffer and the iron as the door, which was the door, I felt from it the attention I felt, like there were eyes looking at me very sharply.
Not felt, I just let it go, until Salsa's brother came to me.
“Emang most comfortable here well Bas place to relax, later in the future will be a place for my friends to gather deh kaya, how about Bus?,” asked Salsa.
“Yaudah is a good brother even so let's not too quiet so rame so, uh brother this weekend I'm in part of his test schedule, brother take his short semester so?,” my question.
“So dong, regular Bas later you also mergerasain deh haha, alright let's rest ah inside so all you wash it,” said Salsa.
Immediately I went inside with Salsa's brother locking the door, just now the sound of the door lock sounded “Ceklek... ceklek,” suddenly a loud noise, like a fallen person sounds very clear “gebruk!,”
Salsa and I looked at each other for a few seconds, for some reason I suddenly reflexed and opened the door again looking around.
“What yes Bus that fell, his voice was so tight,” asked Salsa was still astonished.
“Nothing sis,” I replied while looking around, let alone behind there was no big tree at all.
“From home next time well,” says Salsa.
“Where to?,” my question.
“Sana may, or there,” replied brother Salsa while pointing in two directions the house that was blocked by the wall.
Salsa and I went back into the house, in the middle room Salsa explained logically in such a loud voice that I heard and Salsa's brother, there should be objects or anything that falls with a height above 1 meter, because the sound produced is really tight.
“I'm sure that's the house next door to our neighbor, again nurunin what it is or something falls do we not know Bas” replied brother Salsa pointed to a house that there is no separation door on the wall.
I just say yes, although not necessarily I agree with the logical explanation that Salsa said, because what I felt from sitting in the backyard until the incident sounded the voice, was completely different. In fact I am sure from the house next door that there is an iron gate.
The following days have been 4 more days I was at home alone, Salsa always leave to run his activities, while I was only at home playing games and occasionally give news to Mother.
Mang Yaya occasionally greeted me while cleaning the house. Just small talk about plants that are so exciting I chat with mang Yaya does not like anything else, but I really want some sensitive things I ask directly.
Intention to ask the things I got from Brother Nenah I paused, because following the advice of Salsa's feet that did have a point, “not yet time” I said in my heart.
Seriate...
