Chapter 12's
It didn't feel like it was the day Mas Damar left. Without news, and makes my heart anxious.
Both of my children are abandoned, not in school and just sitting at home. Poor them.
"Mom, old dad did he go home? " ask Jenar who surprised me.
"Ah, yes, dear. Patience, yes.." said I while stroking his head.
"Find the house that not many neighbors yes, ma'am. Poor sister, later become bulian material again. " said Jenar lirih.
"Yes, honey. You don't have to worry, " said me as I reached her into the deck.
Two days ago we passed without Mas Damar, the taste was strange. Night difficult to sleep, eating also so not tasteful. Today, exactly three days. But he still has no news and no sign of coming home.
The look on Jenar and Sekar's face also turned sour. They also seem to miss their father.
Many times I tried to contact her, but even her phone was off. Where are you really, Mom?
It's midnight. I don't know why I feel so bad. Tomorrow means that it has been four days Mas Damar did not come home, why so missed so far?
Geck... Geck... Geck...
I was shocked when I heard a knock from the main door. I who was lying on my side with a mind drifting towards Mas Damar, immediately woke up.
"Who's this night visiting? " ask me to myself.
I wrote the lyrics to the wall clock, coinciding with it he was ringing. Exactly at twelve o'clock. The rain also fell from outside. Who is it?
My feet brought me closer to the door, then turned the door knob and headed for the main room.
Geck... Geck... Geck...
I heard that knock back. My heart began to doubt, why if it was a human being, did not say a greeting and said a word.
My mind was troubled, remembering the words of the old man. If anyone knocks on the door in the middle of the night, it's not human.
I remember the mirror.
"Dec, is that you? Open the door, it's me!"
The hand that was ready to hold the mirror, stopped immediately. That's Mas Damar's voice.
I immediately ran towards the door, but came back to a standstill when I remembered something.
Mas Damar will not knock on the door without saying hello, do not...
I shuffled back, my heart was pumped back up quickly. Imagine what would happen if I opened that door. And pamali opened the midnight door right there was her. Clock clock like this, indeed the time of the subtle creatures roam.
I immediately went back into the room, closed the door tightly and lay down on the bed. I pull the blanket over my head, I don't think he can be in that position.
The sound of the rooster making my eyes open again. It did not feel even the day was back in the morning, O God, until this moment my husband still has no news.
Talking about my husband, I remember last night. Wasn't there the sound of Mas Damar knocking on the door?
Remembering that, I immediately got up from the bed, and ran out.
Krieeett!
The door opened, revealing something that made my mouth gap, with perfectly round eyes.
"Mas Damar!" I cried while running towards him.
Mas Damar fell asleep in the long chair of the terrace, with a thick jacket and a body curled up there. I who pity soon approached her.
"Mas Damar, wake up, Mas!" My exclaim while shaking his body.
Mas Damar wriggled, then started to open his eyes.
"Well, are you awake?" he said it by rubbing his eyes and a heavy voice.
"It has. How come Mas Damar didn't wake me up?" I exclaimed annoyed.
Actually it's my fault, too much last night. Gegara often heard of mystical things, so he was beguiled.
"So, Mas call your name, until the greeting is not opened his door. Yes, I slept outside" he said casually.
It is true what he said. Oh my God, I feel guilty.
"I'm sorry, Mom. I thought you were an astral last night. About her meeting at midnight. Yanti is scared!" Serge me with a spoiled voice and pursed lips.
"Middle of the night? Come dawn, Dek. In between Dito!"
The deg! Fajr? It means midnight...
"But, Mas. Which almost Yanti open the door and it's Mas Damar at twelve. How's dawn?" ask me back with my eyebrows linked.
Mas Damar also looked confused. He seemed to swallow a few times.
"Good, you didn't open it. Or if not, it's not human!" said Mas Damar with lips that try to smile.
Mas Damar took me inside. I don't want to be too thought out by something like this. There have been many subtle creatures that have been lurking around us since Sekar was present. It's just we never took care of it.
"How, Mas? Has Mas Damar found the house we will live in later? " ask me after taking off Mas Damar's socks.
"God willing, Deck. The house is big, second floor. But in the middle of the woods. No what? " his answer made my hand stop doing the activity.
"I mean Mas Damar? The village hinterland? "
