Ghostly Bulls
Empty House?

The people in the park looked at me with horrified looks. What the hell? Did they see ghosts near me?

" They see the ghost of Ren." I laughed. Ghosts are the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Reno nagak now." So you don't believe in ghosts?"

" It's not my whole life to walk by myself, to hang out under a banyan who he says is haunted himself, to come home every night by myself, I've never seen a ghost. So how do you believe it?"

Reno laughed again. " If you see a ghost, what will you do?"

" May be.hahaha.." we both laughed. And the people in the park are getting weird to see me. While the three teenagers who teased me earlier seemed to be no longer in the park.

" It's not wrong to make you a friend. I knew a real ghost sometime. You want?"

I can't hold my laugh. "Hahaha.can!" I think Reno must be kidding me. Introducing me to ghosts. Is he crazy? " Yuk home, I'm hungry."

" Yuk, she pulled my hand gently. Help me get up from the chair, then rub my hair. Clean the leaves of the trees that fall on my head.

" Thanks.." Ah she's so sweet. " You're eating at my house, Ren, cooking my favorite food" I offered him heartfelt.

" I ordered Ra's food. It's a shame you didn't eat. How about we just share. But eat it at my house. You've never been to my house, have you?"

" Okay, deal." I put the car in the garage after Reno got off in front of the fence. He went straight home.

" I'm waiting at Ra's house" he said as he closed the car door.

"okay!"

" Mbok Jum, I asked the kale to be on the plate. I want to eat with my friend at his house." I cried to mbok Jum.

" It's at the dining table take a non, behind there is still." mbok Jum replied from the kitchen.

" Okay!" I brought ya mbok." and I rushed to Reno's house.

It was so quiet I pulled the bell on the fence of his house. Soon Reno was seen coming out the door of her house. The fence of his house is of iron so that it looks from the outside. He smiled broadly opening the gate.

I entered following his steps into his house. The atmosphere of his house looked like it had never been in a human touch. Of course, a house this big only he inhabits.

" Why bengong so. Afraid you?"

" Fear what? Just wonder your house is like an empty, uninhabited house."

" Of course, I'm just here. And the cleaning service only cleans this house once a week"

He took me to a big dining table. Again, this room seemed lifeless. Blank. The chair was like it was never occupied, cold. But there is no dust.

At the table there are already several fast food boxes. I opened it and I put it on the plate that was there. Reno dishes rice quizzes and dishes I brought from home, I added the ordered food on the table.

" Thank you neng.feeling have a wife if rich gini.." Reno laughed, me too. Just-there's. We eat while chatting.

After eating, Reno invited me to continue chatting on the back porch of her house facing the pool.

The cold came upon me. The pool looked calm and clear. It always seems to be routinely cleaned.

" Aren't you lonely, Ren?" I imagined him alone in a house this big. There's Mbok Jum and her husband alone I still feel lonely. Especially her?

" I'm lonely, of course, Ra.." Reno smiled while staring into the distance.

" You should have stayed with one of your brothers. Your grandfather or grandmother might. Than a kara here, but still have a brother."

" Current circumstances do not allow Ra.you yourself to choose to leave your grandfather's house.

" If I were different about Ren. I'm an unregarded child. Same with you.."

" What's really going on Ra.not maybe a child as pretty as you're not recognized"

" I won't stop being your friend no matter who you are" he said

" Hear first, just come...I hated my grandfather and my mother's brothers because I had no father. Pregnant without husband. And until my mother died, no one knew who would impregnate her and give birth to me. I'm an illegitimate child, worse yet I'll never know who my father is because my mother kept it a secret."

Reno looked at me pity. He rubbed my back and clasped my hand tightly. " I'm sure one day you'll find out the truth Ra. Maybe your mama did this for your own good" Reno muttered softly, but I could hear it clearly.

" What kind. He should have fought for his son. He should have protected me from people's scorn. He's selfish, goodness from where? Aren't you disgusted to see me?" I looked into his eyes. Seeking honesty.

He laughed as he ruffled my hair. "Beautiful people like this are disgusted. I want to hug you.hahahha...."

" Don't be rude, I'm glad that you're polite and respect me, don't let you be so annoying like those people!"

He laughed again. " I want to hug let you calm down. He said a hug could send anger down?" she teased me. I knew he was joking and meant to comfort me with his joke.

" No need. My anger and resentment will not subside even if hugged a thousand times. Unless you can tell me where my papa is.."

He's getting bigger. But then it fell silent when I called my papa again. Papa who doesn't exist, papa who is as selfish as mama. A brash papa who leaves his son with his woman alone and suffers. Does such a person deserve to be called papa?

Reno stood up then sat crouching in front of me." From now on you will no longer be alone. I will always accompany you. "

Reno clasped my hand again. The other hand rubbed my head gently. I suddenly felt so calm and peaceful. It was like I was drifting into white clouds. I fell asleep.

I don't know how long I've been asleep, when I wake up it's late in the afternoon. I have to go home and prepare for my school tomorrow. My suitcase hasn't been tidied up. My things I haven't put out and I'm laying at home.

" Rene...Ren. I'm going home..." There is no law at all. Where's she? Maybe you're taking a shower in her room...? I slid into a room that looked the most striking. On the door hung the inscription of a wooden decoration "Go Away!!" I laugh. This must be his room, it can't be an old man's room, right?

" Rene..Ren..I'm coming home.you're ready for school tomorrow!" Still no answer. Ah I'm just going home.

When I turn the body... " Want to go home Ra?" Oh, my God, I jumped backwards. Reno was suddenly in front of me with a smile.

" Oh my goodness, Ren, surprise me! Where have you been? Know-how appeared.." I held my chest which was still beating fast.

Reno laughs no" Hahaha?" he ruffled the top of my head.

" It's a lonely house like this, you say rich ghost. I'm confused" Gertutuku annoyed. He's still laughing.

" Say I don't believe in ghosts?" god again

" You have plenty of ghosts." I reply to the temptation. He's crashing again.

" I'm the ghost of Ra. I'll haunt you for the rest of your life..." Reno grinned teasing me and I hit her back hard. I'm so pissed off. He left me alone and shocked me half to death.

" I'm home." I don't mind Reno anymore. I took our plates and junk food at the dinner table and took it out.

He followed me while poking at me. I don't care, he's a prick. And he closed the gate when I was about to get into my own house.

In front of the gate Mbok Jum and Pak Karto stood as if waiting for me.

" Why are you standing here?"

Mbok Jum and Pak Karto immediately rushed towards me. Holding my hands and shoulders while looking down at my body from top to bottom. What the hell is it?

"Noon.from anywhere. Mbok Jum guess non eat same non friends here. But until the afternoon did not even say" Mbok Jum almost cried saying it. His face was pale and worried.

" Hahaha mbok, I'm sorry I fell asleep at my friend's house. That's the tablets, right next to us," I pointed at Reno's house.

" Isn't that a vacant house?" asked Mbok Jum while shuddering, I don't know what he was thinking.

" Truly non, it's an empty house. As long as I cleaned the house before non came, I never saw the residents of the house" Mr. Karto chimed in. His face was no less tense.

" Hahaha, you are ngaco. You're the only ones who've never seen who own that house. I've been in contact with the residents of that house since I first came to this house!" I laughed at their fear.

I put my old dinner plate on mbok Jum who is still looking at me. " Please take it back, mbok, I want to clean the room." I left Jum and Karto sir still glued to where they stood. I have to hurry....
