Afraid to Go Home

I come from a simple family, even though the father is a civil servant, his income is still fairly minimal for luxury living. When our neighbors already have televisions, even our homes have not been electrified. Moreover, not long ago father bought land, and built the house we now occupy.

We are indeed immigrants in this area, only about one year we occupy our house now, before we often move house contract. Assignment, that's what makes dad leave the hometown.

Even so I can still enjoy the television show, namely by watching at my friend's house. After each evening of study, I visited my friend's house to watch. Father and mother have no objection, the important thing is that I have studied and worked on my PR.

Tonight, after Isha', rushed me to my friend's house, quite far away indeed for a child of my age, had to pass through the road on the left right was still lush trees belonging to neighbors. At the crossroads of the road was still turning, only not far from there I reached my friend's house.

"Remember, do not go home too late, especially tomorrow must get up early for school" said the mother reminded.

I'm nodding. Dad himself was busy reading a book in the middle room, when I said he didn't even hear. Maybe it was late with what he was reading.

Karman, that's my friend's name. This friend of mine is very familiar with me, and so are the people. Not to mention that I reached his house, I saw that he was already standing on the side of the road in front of the house, as soon as he saw my presence, he greeted me with a smile and invited me in. I could not help but follow him from behind. Karman House is pretty nice and big, nicer and bigger than our house.

Just before the door Karman's house turned around.

"Tok was right for a long time, I was waiting for you from earlier." he said.

I smiled, "Biasalah Man, I don't need to finish PR first" I replied.

"Eachly, if there is PR, you should immediately do it when you go home from school, so just after the night gini should make us relax" he said.

Slomprets! Why did Karman become such a parent was his talk. "He he. yes Man. Next time I will do it after school.."

"Yes, we're in. I think the movie is exciting tonight." it opens the door and lets me in.

Inside the house, two of his parents were watching. I politely called both of them, and then sat down to watch. I see, what the host is watching, that's all I can watch. Like my friends, his parents were also very good with me, especially if Karman's father was in the office with my father. Often when there is food, they do not hesitate to serve it to me. That night was lucky enough for me, because my friend's mother had just boiled a sweet potato, and was presented in front of us for friends to watch.

"How's Tok's dad doing?" ask Karman's father in passing.

"Well, sir, this time I was reading, I was reading" I replied.

"Your father has always been so, can't get away with books."

I nodded to hear it.

It turns out that night the film is in a horror film, telling about zombies that roam prey on humans, the faces of the zombies in the film are described as so scary, the corpses with an unnatural shape, and the, but still able to walk after humans with savage, let's be a bit afraid of exciting also watch it, so that time does not feel passed. When the movie ended, I saw the clock, it showed at eleven o'clock in the evening. Waduhh, last night, I thought.

"Dare to go home alone Tok?" Ask Karman's father.

I didn't answer right away, my mind was still reflected in the creepy faces of the zombies I just watched.

"Huss! Don't scare me Man," his father scolded, then turned to look at me. " I'm anther, huh?" karman's father said.

Karman said my friend earlier actually caused anxiety in the heart, but because it was not good with his father I shook my head, "No need sir, I go home alone, anyways this deket." I replied at last. Then unfortunately I, have been watching cooking home asking for delivery.

I finally got along with my friend and her parents. As far as I could see the road in front of me, there was not a single human being in sight. It felt like the darkness in front of me was like an endless area. Curutuki ketololanku, why did not ask in the anter. I made up my mind and tried to get rid of the fear that began to hit.

Slowly I set foot down the road, for some reason I crammed, the night felt so lonely. Dilangit invisible moon. Fortunately, there are a few stars visible. Every now and then I look right and left, I don't know how I feel, which is clear the trees on the side of the road look like the shape of night creatures that are ready to grasp.

The fear grew, I accelerated my steps, until I immediately turned the corner, but my steps were held back, there was a large black figure I saw moving from the front. My body trembled, I was so afraid, even to move my legs unable, I did nothing but stand resigned.

"Needs? Hey boy, why are we sitting there, let's go home," one voice sounded. Daddy's? That's my dad's voice. In front of me now stood my father, he reached for my hand to lead him home.

I also took his hand. "Where's the movie show? Exclaims definitely Tok?" asking dad is like insinuating.

I'm speechless. Actually my chest is still pounding due to the events earlier.

"Why silence Tok?" ask dad again.

"Eh no well. Yes, the film was good." I replied at last.

"What is the film about?" ask her with a curious tone.

"About zombies well.." I'm shrill in my voice when I call zombies.

I sound curled. "Oh Zombie!? Quickly, if it is not dark, surely your face now looks very pale, apparently you were scared, huh Tok?"

"Yes.yeah.." I answered honestly.

"You must have thought that the first time you saw Dad in the dark you thought he was some kind of creepy creature, didn't you?" said father half-literate.

"Ah, father.." I feel ashamed.

Dad patted my shoulder. "Already, even if you were scared, I know that the father's son is actually very brave, try to think, every night you come home alone brave, even if you were afraid, even if you were afraid, it's only because of your own shadow Tok." praised my father.

"Here you go, let's go home, you know? Your mother has been waiting for you with worry since then. We quickly accelerated our steps towards home.

Apparently my father and mother were worried because I came home late, so I asked my father to come. Fortunately I was not angry, in fact so that I did not go home until late at last father with the savings owned, install electricity in our house, and buy a TV
