Kosan Dwellers?

Kosan Dwellers?
Kosanku Apparently ...



Since I first entered college a few years ago, which is in mid-2010, the first time I also know the world of boarding. Turns exciting. Many new friends who eventually became my second family overseas.


Kosanku minimalist style shades of ash that has a total of 11 rooms. Coincidentally because the building is still new, which is visible from the building is still fresh, clean, and the paint that looks bright, making us the cost seekers immediately dropped the choice in the boarding, Kosan Citra, including me.


Kosan Citra is rented out ahead of the new student enrollment season, so the residents are mostly new students, including me. We are the first inhabitants of the kosan.


We were the first to taste the building whose walls were still clean with no graffiti and no nails. The point is it's comfortable there.


The early days we spent decorating each room as comfortable as possible, with our favorite accessories.


My room is not too big. There is only a floor mattress and a small closet, the property that has been provided by the hostess. Other items must carry their own. I fitted the mirror exactly straight with the door, and a small fan stuck to the wall above the mattress.


It didn't take us long to stay in the inn, we really became like family. Every night we gathered to eat together. Then we did a congregational task after which there was a venting session until night. Very delightful. I feel right there.


My room is number two, my left is room number one, which is inhabited by a woman in her 35s who I call Lisa Tea at the time.


Lisa's tea became our parents at the boarding house. Because he is the oldest among us. Lisa's Tea Room has always been the base for us to gather even just to watch television. It just so happens that Lisa's Tea room is the most spacious than the other rooms. Because of hearing, the room was once inhabited by the mother of the boarding owner.


Wait, 'Then'?


Yep.


Someone's late for me, or rather we all know. About the history of the building.


As I mentioned earlier, my boarding consists of two facing buildings.


One building with two floors, with a total of 8 rooms, under 4 and above 4. And the other building is only one floor, consisting of 3 rooms. In this building I stayed for approximately 1.5 years.


After that, me, and we all moved out together. Find each one more comfortable. We parted. Because it is difficult to find a boarding house that is still empty to accommodate all of us.


We moved in together, that is, after knowing that the costan that had united us like a family, was not in a good state.


Our boredom is new. But, it turns out that the new one is just the two-story building. While the one-story building that I occupied, was an old building that was quite long abandoned.


In our boarding complex, there is a traveling breakfast seller mother who, when she came, her voice jarring woke us up who despite being bright but still sleeping because all night was at war with duty. Her name is Idah.


Ibu Idah sells a variety of breakfast menus. Starting from the heavy like yellow rice and sitting, to various kinds of market cakes.


"OOY SARAPAAAN'S BAROQUE."


So every morning. Made us immediately scatter out of the room to raid the mother's merchandise.


And it is from Idah that we know very little about the origin of the cosane.


He said, this costan used to be abandoned. The building I have is the center.


He said, once this boarding house there were only three rooms. Once again, the building I'm housing is what Idah's mother meant.


He said the new two-storey building was once just a shrub that contained unkempt tall grass.


I can imagine.


In the past, the plot of land whose building was only 3 empty rooms, surrounded by high weeds, located at the end of the complex and right on the border wall, was an empty building. Which if the night would be dark and silent.


Goosebumps? Obviously yes.


Because it turns out I'm one of the residents now.


But by then, all I knew was that the building was good. All I know is the building is very interesting to live in.


The boarding owner's mother who, if she charges monthly money, came with her red car, managed to turn the old building into a beautiful minimalist boarding house.


But there is one that can not be changed, namely 'inhabitants' remain kosan. Which will not move even if the building has been changed in such a way.
