Kosan Dwellers?

From the Bathroom

Day by day I feel more comfortable living in the boarding house Belimbing. The cost is comfortable and safe. The costal building Belimbing has two aisles. And I live in the first hallway. In the first hallway, the building forms like the letter LL. I live in room 3, opposite number 11, if I don't remember wrongly.

It was very comfortable and I had no fear there, except for the room in the corner close to the stairs. The room is dark in the afternoon. Because there is no sunlight that can enter because it is the most corner.

The stairs at my boarding house are only to go to the top clothes because the boarding building Belimbing only one floor. The clothesline in this boarding house there are two, namely the lower clothesline, which is located in front of my row of rooms. And one more clothesline at the top by climbing the iron stairs that only one person could pass through. I never even once sunbathe up there during my stay at the boarding house.

Not felt, I've been living in the boarding house Belimbing for months. And thank God there were no strange things that I experienced except the sound of the hammer knocking at that time. Mr. Kost is there, the boarding mother is there, her children are there.

My boarding room with the boarding house is only limited by a small gate. But it's okay. As long as I have them, I am safe. During this time, I was often alone. Other friends if the weekend must go home each. While I still live in kosan because there is an unfinished gawean. Back then me and the band mates were taking care of this it was for our songs that were about to go on record. For that I rarely go home because I am busy training.

That night, I was doing my job. My laptop was open, and I was ready to face the task of the lecturer. The only task I do while eating packaged cassava chips that I buy at the minimarket. Until finally,

PLUGS

My cassava chips pack fell. At first, the wrap stood up straight. But I don't take a headache. The package fell probably because of the position of the contents of the chips that changed because I took it again and again.

I'm back to focusing on my job. Until ..

The terminal cable in front of me was rocking.

(The terminal cable is an electrical plug that contains many holes, friends, if in my place call it a terminal. Hehe. Hope you understand yes).

My terminal cable is in a hanging position. And it suddenly moved. Shake to the right and left. I who have minus eyes, must sharpen my eyes. I'm not sure my terminal is moving on its own. But it's moving. And for a while later, he stopped by himself.

Hi, are 'you' starting to say hello?

TOK TOK TOK

I, who was not yet asleep, woke up to the sound of knocking on the bathroom door. The bathroom was in each room, including me. Every night I sleep, my room lights are off. I only have the illumination from the bathroom lights that make my room not too dark.

TOK TOK TOK.

The voice sounded again. I'm sure it's from the bathroom. But what did it come from?

I finally woke up. I went into the bathroom and checked. I looked at the sekelingnya, my bathroom only measuring approximately 1×1.5m, there is nothing there. I was worried that the sound was coming from a frog that might have accidentally entered my bathroom.

I'm going back to sleep.

Then ...

TOK TOK TOK

The voice sounded again.

I got up and went to the bathroom again. I was upset, because it was 12 at night. While I have morning class tomorrow.

I went into the bathroom and picked up some clothes hanging from the barracks. I suspect there's a lizard hiding behind my clothes. Now my bathroom is clean of the stuff that hangs there.

But...

TOK TOK TOK

Oh God, this time I was really scared. Her voice really came from inside the bathroom. That's vivid.

I'm goosebumps.

If the sound is right from inside the bathroom, then who is knocking?

TOK TOK TOK

The voice still sounded.

I'm confused how? I fear.

Anyone want to visit from the bathroom?

Can you imagine? From inside the empty bathroom there was a knocking sound that rhythms three-three. If you were me, what would you do?

I finally called my dad at night. It was 2pm.

"What's wrong?" My father's voice from across the street sounded. Very clearly he was not sleeping.

"Fear," I replied.

"Fear what?"

"That's the toilet, there's something to go on with" I complained.

"Yawis is okay. It's sleeping there. Bismillah."

I'm manut. Because I have to sleep. I have a lecture tomorrow at 7 a.m. And you know what? The sound of knocking on the bathroom door stopped at 4 a.m., before dawn. Crazy one!

I don't know what the purpose is.

That's for sure 'he' is very disturbing.

But wait!!

I remembered the Rose story about Yani who heard the sound of crying in the clothesline at the time? (Read episode 4).

Didn't the sound of crying also start at midnight and stop at dawn?

That was exactly the sound of knocking on my bathroom door.

So, what 'creature' is that that bothering humans for hours at the same time???

I goosebumps ey 😑

And from the incident that night I came to know that in my room there were other residents besides me.
