The House in the Middle of Sawah

Who knocked on the door???

Doc . . . Doc . . .Vrts. . .

The front door was knocked from the outside. Scroll the alarm clock on the table, eleven o'clock at night over fifteen minutes. Who comes at this hour to visit. I waited for a moment in silence, silence. Mother and sister in the back room also no sign of waking up. Ah, maybe my feelings. I tried to close my eyes.

Doc . . .Doc . . . Karman . . .

Sounded back the front door on tap, this time louder. Worryingly I went out of the room, approached the front door, silent again. I opened the curtain, trying to see from the window, who was in front of the door. It didn't seem obvious, but it didn't seem like there was anyone in front. I was about to go back into the room, suddenly . . .

Doc . . .Karman . . .Ariston . . .Kanshak. .

Doc . . . Kanshak. . Karman . . . Karman . . .

Half surprised I looked at the door. This time the knock on the door was louder and faster. I thought about calling Ibuk, but I tried to ventured to open my mouth.

"Who is it?", I asked a little stuttered.

Momentary silence. It sounded like a heavy breath coming from behind the door. My neck feels cold, my guts start to shrivel.

"Who? What's the need?", I asked again this time my voice made louder.

"Ba-pak, he said he wanted a massage?", a voice came from behind the door asking in a flat tone.

My lips were choked, my throat was dry, this time my guts were completely gone. From his tone and voice I was sure that the one behind the door was Lek Jo. Moreover, the sound was alluding to the incandescent. Crazy what, this afternoon I saw clearly Lek Jo has become a corpse, at this hour he came to mijit. Cold sweat dripped from my forehead. What am I supposed to do now? My leg seemed to lose bone in his bones to turn toward the room. For a few seconds, I just sat in front of the door. While my heartbeat and breathing are irregular.

The footsteps stopped when they got close to me. From inside the blanket was a shadow standing in front of me. My heart rate is really timid. Whoa, Lek Jo why are you terrorizing me. Suddenly, with a pull of my blanket open. I prepared my strength to shout as loud as I could, but I didn't. Because it turns out that the one in front of me is Ibuk.

"What's the matter Dan, is your face really like that?", I asked in wonder.

I tried to smile.

"So I thought I heard someone knocking on the door? Who is Dan?", Mother continued the question.

I was thinking, what to answer to Ibuk. There's no way I could have frankly come Lek Jo to mijit that way. It could be a scene, especially if you are not at home.

"Hey, don't po po po to Lee you?", I patted my shoulder because I was silent.

"Eh emmm, no pa kok buk. I was just about to sleep, but it's hard to break the end of e selimutan, lha kok mbok kagorne to buk. If about knock knock knock on your door. . I don't hear it buk, I dream it for sure", I answered lying.

I think for now lying is the best option.

"Yas already so, sleepless tomorrow there is a lecture that you know, this is already malem. I don't go to the room just yet, pity your sister's alone", I stepped out of the room and closed my door.

After that I went back inside the blanket and forced my eyes to shut.
