Chapter 15's

"This is the house, Mas?" ask me with eyes fixed on the magnificent and quite large building in front.

My mouth is open, with perfectly rounded eyes. A house this good, this big. Why is it in the middle of the forest?

This forest is not thick. The tree line is neatly arranged, as it is indeed in care. I don't know why I'm no stranger to this land. Like her I've seen, but forgotten when and how?

"Yes, Honey. This house, this teak forest owner's house. The beginning was just a cottage, but now it is built magnificent." replied Mas Damar.

"Mas is suspicious, no? Why is a house this big and grand can be sold at such a cheap price? " ask me again, now looking in his direction.

"The beginning is yes, but after being explained no longer" replied Mas Damar back.

"So, this house was deliberately built in the middle of teak forest to all monitor this forest. There's often a wild ride going on here, though,

The owner had to move out of town to take care of her sick mother. That's why, this house is built grand and sold cheaply, so it quickly attracts buyers and there are those who keep this garden" he explained.

It makes sense what he explains. Maybe that's the truth.

"So for three days, Mas Damar stayed here?" ask me, he just nodded.

Then bring the kids inside. The atmosphere here is very comfortable, cool air with dim sunlight.

"Let's... Auuu! Aaaa!" jerit Sekar while jumping. This child was very happy to look at her, as if seeing something that could make her mood that had been lost, immediately returned in an instant.

He ran into the house. Her petite body turned around, when in the doorway. His hands waved, as if impatient to ask us to come in.

Thankfully, Sekar is very happy to stay here. But, in contrast to True, this child just silently looked around this house.

"Yes, let's go in, kid!" invite me because when invited by his father he did not come in.

He just glanced at me, then nodded and took my hand.

This house is still very neat. Maybe because it has been in Mas Damar for a few days.

The goods we put on Mas Damar's friend yesterday were gathered on the side of the goods cabinet.

There was a sofa, there was a small closet complete with its contents. Even the kitchen is complete.

Inside this house, the air is very cool. But, a little sultry. I don't know, it's cold, but it's sweating in the body.

Starting from sweeping, mopping, even to cleaning the grass around the house.

While Mas Damar, he painted this house on the outside. In addition to being a little mossy, the color also contained reddish-black patches. I don't know what it is.

"Momuukk!" yang Genar who made me and Mas Damar who was cleaning the back of the house, immediately looked at each other and ran into the house.

We both ran away in a frenzy, as well as gasping for breath.

"What's up, Jenar?" I cried out who was in the middle doorway.

The boy was curled up on the sofa. With his knees in the bay and his face drowned in his legs. His shoulders were shaking, like he was crying.

"True, what's up, son?" ask me to panic. I immediately rushed towards her.

"Certain... Jenar ta-takut. "his words with a brick-styled tone.

"Fear what, son?"

He can't answer. I took the initiative to hug her tightly, giving her a million serenity to minimize her fears.

"True not to be afraid, here there is a mother." I said softly. Mas Damar could only stare at us from a distance.

"A-there's... Rat, ma'am." said the words that made my eyes round.

"Rice? You yelled, you got a rat?" ask me again who was directly answered by Mas Damar's head.

For a moment I thought, that he saw an apparition or something. It was just a mouse.

"The mouse is big, ma'am. Not at home!" Kekeh Jenar who increasingly looks anxious.

"The mouse here is big, son. The father of poison, yes. Do not be afraid, " replied Mas Damar.

After calming Jenar, we began to proceed to clean up the house. But for some reason, I felt like something was lacking.

"Mas, Now Where? " ask me when we're going back.

"Oh yeah, where's Sekar?"
