"Yahoooo!!! Mama help!!!"

I was so shocked that I didn't realize that I was yelling at my mama a little hysterically. Quickly I finished my bath without caring about the remnants of soap in the body is gone or not.

I came straight out of the bathroom with my body covered in a towel. While outside the room came the sound of mama and Mas Hanif pounding on my bedroom door in panic.

I immediately unlocked the door and hugged my mother tightly. My whole body was shaking violently, my legs felt limp as if they were not boned. While hugging my mother, I was taken to my work chair in the room. Mas Hanif gave me a drink to make me feel calmer.

"Why you, baby? How yelling?" Ask mama.

"Sarah see there's a woman in the bathroom mah. He looked at Sarah with a smile that was so serem." Answer weak. Mas Hanif without asking again immediately went into my bathroom to check the situation. 

From inside the bathroom Mas Hanif said, "there's nobody here Sar." I did not give any reaction to his words because I was still shocked by the incident just now. Mas Hanif came back to me who was sitting in a chair.

"Ga there's nobody in the kid. You checked it just now." Mama said as she gently rubbed my back.

I was already feeling a little calm from being accompanied by the two of them. Seeing that I was not wearing any clothes yet, then Mas Hanif immediately walked out of the room after confirming that my condition was already fine.

Only my mom and I were in the room. Mama still stroked my back and reminded me to put on clothes immediately.

"The clothes are still in the bathroom. Sarah's afraid to take it." Ah never mind, in an instant my brave image in front of mama collapsed instantly.

Mom immediately went into the bathroom to take my clothes and give them to me. With my mother still, I put on clothes and then mopped the wet floor of my room because I came out in a hurry from the bathroom.

I saw the clock showing at 4 p.m. I asked permission to allow my mom to take a short break in my mom and dad's room. To be honest, there was still a little fear from the events. Mama allowed me to take a break in her room. 

I also went to my parents' second room with still in between mama, "ma, later at half-time 6 pm wake up Sarah yes because magrib Sarah wants to follow Mas Hanif to her house." 

"Yes." Yeah." She got out of the room and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. While at the place where I was hitching a break, I looked at the entire room and watched it until without feeling I began to fall asleep soundly.

        ********

"Sarah let's get up!" I was jolted from sleep because I felt that someone was waking me up in a rather rude way. I felt my cheek like someone had just slapped it, but I didn't see anyone in the room with me.

I saw the clock stuck to the wall, it turned out to have shown at 5:30 which means it was time for me to wake up from sleep. I'm still trying to think positively if what woke me up just now was the sound of my mom coming from outside the room, while this slap on the cheek that I felt was coming from my own hand in other words I was being a little delirious. Slowly began to reappear the nature of me seeing things with logic. 

Not long after that I got out of bed and immediately came out of my room. I headed to the living room to join the others. Arriving there, I saw my father and brother who were relaxed while watching television.

"Well, did you wake up on the deck?" My brother did not answer my question.

"Yes, where did Mas Hanif go?" Asking back.

"Let's out for a minute he said, most to the front minimarket." Dad answered while patting the sofa next to him which meant telling myself to sit next to him.

I approached my father and sat down and put my head on his shoulder. I would indeed turn into a very spoiled child if I was with my father because I was the only daughter in this family and I happened to be the youngest of three children.

"Loh son, are you awake? Just wanted to go to the bedroom wake you up to sleep." Said my mother who suddenly appeared from the direction of the membrane.

I was surprised to hear my mother's words so I asked, "loh, didn't you just wake up Sarah from the front of the room?"

"Ga, from earlier mama in the kitchen, it's just finished cooking." I was silent for a moment while thinking about the strange thing that happened in my parents' room. After thinking it was true if the one who woke me up was not my mom. Mama never called me just by name, always by the call "honey" or "deck", while the one who woke me up just called me by name and intonation sound like people were angry. And also from his voice, mama's voice sounded soft and smooth, while the voice earlier in the room raspy and rather heavy. Hiiiiii, really at this moment suddenly all my body became goosebumps again.

Not long ago, Mas Hanif had arrived home and had come to gather with my family in the tv room. 

"Dek, run out magrib road ya." Mas Hanif reminded me again that today we will both meet with his friend who has more ability to tell our problems recently.

"Yes, um." I answered while looking at the television. 

"Where are you going? I'm coming with dong!" The words of my brother named Evan chimed in on my conversation with Mas Hanif. 

"May, come to my house on this deck."

"Feeding can only go!" My mother's orders without further ado.

"Okay boss!" Answer the three of us simultaneously.

Long story short, we had dinner time and now me, Mas Hanif, and Mas Evan were in the car with Mas Evan acting as the driver.

The trip did not take long because of the distance adjacent to my home. Arriving there, it was seen his friend Mas Hanif standing in the middle of his yard with a position like being blocked our car. After the car stopped perfectly, we immediately went down and wanted to greet Mas Hanif's friend.

However, we had just walked for two steps, and suddenly his friend Mas Hanif yelled, "Stop you there!"
