Am I Different?
Storytelling
As usual, I chatted, joking along the way with Dinar. Until it didn't feel like we had reached our residential alley.
When I got in front of the house, I parked my bike. Then hurried to the door of the house.
Tok tok...
I knocked on the door and said my regards.
“Assalamaicum. Mom, Dedek home.” I said hello.
“Wa’alaikumsalam, Yes Dek,” replied mom from inside the house.
Mom rushed to open the door. Then, I immediately set foot into the house. As I walked, I decided to tell my friends about my mother.
“Bu, later my friends will come here,” I said.
“Iya, Deck. Incidentally, I cooked a lot today. Later, your friend was invited to eat together, yes,” replied the mother again.
“Good, Mom. I change clothes first and pray all over." I spoke while I walked into the room.
After that, immediately change clothes and pray as I say. Then, before my friends came, I decided to lay the body for a while on the bed.

Tok tok ....
Mom rushed to open the door, I who was in the room did not listen.
“Assalamualaikum, Keyla, Keyla!” call my four friends.
“Wa'alaikum greetings, let's go in,” said mother while opening the door.
“Waitu, yes. Keyla kanya still salat,” said mother again.
“Good, Aunt," replied Dinar.
Mom came to my room to tell me.
Tok tok ....
Mom knocked on the room door.
"Keyla, your friends are here. Later, if you're done praying quickly out, yes." Mom tried to tell.
"I'm done, Mom," I replied.
I got out of bed, stepped out of the room and saw my friends sitting on the living room couch and approaching.
"Hi, have you been waiting?" ask them.
"Not yet" replied Selly.
“Come, eat first. Earlier, it happened that my mother cooked quite a lot," asked me.
“Iya, Key. Kok bothered the hell your mother,” said Selly again.
“No, coke. Come on, eat first" I said.
They also moved from their seats, and followed behind me who had gone before the road.
“The three of us went to Dinar's house first, because they don't know your house. Hehehe,” says Bella.
“Iya ... uh, it turns out that our house was also before his house, Dinar,” timpal Dewi.
When I got to the dining room, my mom was there.
“Mari, eat. Don't hesitate, just think of it as your own home" said the mother.
“Iya, Aunt. We ate yes, thank you," said Dewi.
We immediately ate, devoured my mother's cooking, after eating we sat on the carpet in front of the television.
“Come, Key story. He said he wanted to tell me, I can't wait for this,” said Bella.
"Yes" I replied.

Back then, when I was an SD. Some of my friends, I talk to when I see something. But instead they were terrified and Dinar was the only child who never stayed away from me, because I saw them (Ghosts).
He reasoned from the beginning, if even likes to have friends like me. For when I walk everywhere and see things, either their shadows or their shapes. Even something that just crossed my mind would happen nothing, it was better.
Because for him, we won't continue on the journey if it could harm both of us. In addition to Dinar, my father and mother would have known it since I was a child. Starting I like to say to both my parents will come (Ghosts), maybe at first it was considered commonplace they (my parents) because they were still children.
But, when I had entered Kindergarten, it was at school only to be transferred to the school gate by mother and later, if I came home just picked up. During school, I was waited for only when two new months of early entry.
I once had an invisible friend. I thought she was a pretty girl and she always accompanied me at school. I initially thought of him as an ordinary human being, but it turned out that he was one of the creatures of their nation
(Ghost).
Once, I tried to tell my mother about my friend. Even every day, I used to tell him when I got home from school, that I had a beautiful friend and I talked to him a lot, played with him.
At first, I thought she was one of my teachers. When I got home from school, my mom asked, “Dek, what's her name, who?”
“Name as Ma'am Nella, Ma'am. The mama is beautiful, you know,” I replied.
“Guru's mother Dedek, yes?” ask mom again.
“Not, Mom. Nella's mother is my friend." Hearing my answer, Mother began to suspect my strangeness.
I saw my mother's face, like I was thinking about something.
"Dedek, if his friend is not a person what?" ask mother.
"Not people? How, anyway? Don't understand me, ma'am," I said innocently.
"Oh, don't be, Dek," replied the mother.

Maybe that time, if mom explained but was afraid I couldn't understand. Every day I go through the usual like a child my age when Kindergarten. From childhood, every day, which is precisely every afternoon, my mother always took me to go to the afternoon market in my area.
The market is not far from where I live, I often invited my mother to go there. Arriving at the market, mom parked her motorcycle.
"Bang, nitip," said the mother to the parking attendant.
"Ready, ma'am," replied the parking attendant.
When I went to the market, I saw a girl who had her head injured. I'm the one in mom's arms, trying to tell that to mom.
“Mother, it's her brother out of falling, huh?” I said, pointing at the street near the entrance of the market.
“Which brother, Dek?” ask mother.
“That, Mom." I keep pointing at what I see.
“Nobody, there,” replied mother again.
I still mengueyel, because I really saw it. I felt pity, so I kept on trying to help him.
“There, Mom. Poor brother's bleeding, ma'am. Come on, we help.” I pull my mother's hand, I take her to the girl I see.
Mom stops my step, “Stop Deck!”
“It, Mom. Brother's pity. Come, get there.” I keep taking mom.
I kept muffling, and kept pulling mom's hand.
“Come, enter the market first. Later, home later." Mom tried to give an excuse.
"But, Mum. Whose brother helped?" my many.
"Many people, Dek. Later, it will also be helped. We're going home all night, I'm afraid" replied the mother.
Mom gave that excuse because she knew there was no one there. He felt my strangeness and thought he was talking to my dad when he came home from work next week.
