That day, I went home from college until the afternoon. Until the room, I fell on a foam mattress to eliminate fatigue. I saw something strange about my room. Some things have moved. I suspect. Soon I open the closet, because that's where I keep the laptop. Thank God it still exists.
I'm sure someone else has entered my room and ruffled it. But looking for what? My laptop is still safe in its place.
Later that night, we got together to talk about what was going on in my room. But it turns out,
"I'm the same. My binder's been ruffled."
"My room is the same. Flams disheveled. Clothes out all."
"Yes, so am I."
All of us commented. Surprisingly, none of us lost anything. If there is someone else coming into our room, while nothing is missing, then what is that person looking for? What's the purpose of ransacking our kosan?
Oh yeah, there's one more weird thing, our room door's intact. No wood is damaged because it is in a bobble or a keyhole that is stuck. Everything is really neat. Only the contents of the room were messy as if the human was deliberately doing it to leave a trace. What did the man enter with? Does he have duplicate keys to every room? We're still guessing.
Is he an insider? If he's an insider, then what's the point?
Ah, I don't know. That day we were stirred no longer because of the creatures waiting for boarding, but because of a human who does not know who has ransacked our room for no apparent reason.
From then on we finally asked the hostess to install a padlock latch in each of our rooms. So that the security of our room is double, namely the door lock and also the lock lock.
The housing complex where we did the cost was indeed said to be vulnerable lately. In the next block there is already a case of loss. So horrified.

That afternoon, kosan was deserted. The rest of my friends still have school hours. While I happen to be home fast. Lucky that afternoon I invited Umi, one of my classmates to play to the boarding house. We were chatting relaxed at the time. Until a moment later, a man with a suspicious view was peering into the boarding house. He didn't realize I was in my room.
I immediately went out of the room to vent. The man was about to go out the gate. There was one friend waiting for him outside the gate on a motorcycle. I'm pretty sure who they are.
"Hey, Mom!!"
I ventured to call him. The man looked.
"Who's looking?" my many.
"Eem, my mother. Is the hostess there?"
He was clearly making up a question.
"There was. But now he's taking his son out. What's the need?" I said make it up.
In my room there is no hostess. He lived in his home, in the complex a little west of the kosan. But if I tell you the truth, I'm afraid that would be the reason for the man to come again next time.
"Oh yes, then. I'll be here again" said the man clumsy.
"Hey Mas's. Don't want to go in the room again?"
I intentionally insinuate. Because of my gut feeling, they were the culprits from our room builders yesterday.
"Mmm, you mean Ma'am?" he's clumsy.
I gave him a cynical smile.
"Usually he's going into the room?" i said again.
The man grimaced and went to piggyback on his friend.
Fuuwww. I took a breath. I'm actually scared. But I'm furious too. May my future be safe.

This afternoon I was alone again in the room. It was 11 o'clock. My friends have been going to college since morning. I have a day schedule today.
I'm getting ready to get dressed. Since the rumors of boarding theft in our housing compound had already spread, it was enough to make me increase my vigilance. The window of the room that I usually left open, that afternoon I closed complete with the curtain.
I was polishing my face, until the sound of the gate squeaked. Signs someone opened it. I stopped my activities, I kept quiet.
"Yepuuuuuu..uuuuu."
I heard a man humming.
From the room I turned off the lights, I saw two men coming ready to do the action. One person continued walking towards the corner room, while the other one stopped right in my room.
"Innallingly." I was scared to death.
The man brought his face to the window of my room. I looked through my room from outside the window.
I immediately picked up the phone and quickly ducked walking under the door. My window is on the right side of the door. In my current position, I'm sure he won't know that I'm inside. Even from the outside of the window, he would not be able to see into the room. While from inside the room, he was clearly visible.
With my trembling hands, I typed in a line of messages.
📨 'Hurry home!! There's a burglar in kosan!'
I sent that message to all the boarding boy contacts. I hope one of them reads it. I was still sitting under the door.
Clotek, Klotek.
Oh Allah. The thief was trying to open the door to my room from outside. But lucky my room key is still in the hole. So that's enough to make it difficult for the thief to successfully break into it.
Clotek, klotek.
The thief is still trying. The trembling me under the door kept praying. I can't imagine if the burglar managed to break into the door and find out I was inside. What are they gonna do to me?
I'm really scared. My body trembled, my heart dag dig irregular. The Javanese call it 'ndregdeg'. I'm weak, God.
I remained silent under the door while not breaking up in prayer. I don't know what the two men did outside, I'm out of focus. I was so busy with my own thoughts that I didn't hear anything.
Until shortly the sound of Windi tea, the occupants of room number 8 heard.
"Vii, Viiiii."
The newly arrived Windi Tea called me from the gate. Alhamdulillahot. God has sent His protector for me.
"What's wrong?" windi asked after he was in my room. My body is still trembling.
"There were two tea men. Want to turn over," I replied accordingly.
"Yes, you calm down first"
"See what the guy is?" manya curious. Maybe Windi tea was accidentally passed by the thief.
"No. When we entered the gate there was no one."
Then the thief realized that there was me in the room because maybe when he would open the lock from the outside, the key was blocked by my key. For that they immediately fled.
But whatever it is, Allah is good for making them leave immediately without doing anything to me.
Alhamdulillahot.

â›” NOTE â›”
For you boarding children, it is important never to pull the key of your door from the handle. If you are in the room, want to take a nap especially at night, plis lock the door and let the key stay there. Don't pull that key. Because when the key is on the handle, another key from the outside will not be able to enter.
Keep saving!!
Do not leave worship and continue to pray for your good and safety🙏
