My merit
#2. Next door

Quite rare bu these weeks, but lately Dito even so often so often smell fishy, sometimes also stinky smell, especially if the smell of frangipani flowers is often very. I think there's something strange, like Dito." I explained to Mom who was on the left side of my bed.

Mother was silent, silence was between me and mother, we did not speak at all and let out a word, before some time Mother began to make a sound again.

"Mom will find out. Now you get ready first to go to school, you can be late." 

"Yes ma'am, Dito get ready first." I also obeyed Mom's orders, get ready and get out of my bed to immediately rush to the toilet, I finished the bath, I finished the bath, I saw my room was clean and neatly arranged.

I also continued my preparation to wear the uniform that Mother had prepared by hanging my uniform on the closet handle door. When I was buttoning my uniform one by one, I had a habit that I always do every time when I was wearing a regular uniform or t-shirt, I'm used to whistling loudly but rhythmically while buttoning my school uniform.

There was no problem the day before, but this day when I was whistling came, there was a whistling sound that returned my whistling either because my mind was negative or because I was tired. I did not mishear that anyone answered my whistles so loudly, I began to look for where the voice came from and who answered my whistles.

I began to clear my mind and thought that this was just a whistling sound from the next-door neighbor who was being prank on me. Of course I don't think that it's a ghost or anything like that, I'm a less child who doesn't touch it and goes downstairs to eat the breakfast you've prepared.

Although there was still a bit of curiosity, with the origin of the mysterious whistling sound, I dared myself to ask Mother whether the house next door was inhabited by people or not, or not, because as I know the house next door has been empty since there are residents who hang themselves.

"Mom." call me to Mom who's preparing Dad's breakfast.

"Yes what's wrong?"

"You know that house next to mine?"

"Yes. What's up."

"Yesterday anyway.., I heard that someone was occupying, did not know right or not" explained Mother to me, "Quick finish breakfast and immediately leave." Mother ordered me, Mommy said, who ate breakfast quickly.

I thought not to think about the incident that just happened, let alone said Mother just now her house has been occupied, maybe the occupants who returned my whistles. I walked to the school which happened to be not far from home, while walking accidentally passed by the owner of the grocery store Tin, Ponjok Complex near my house.

"Dito, pisan casep." said Mommy Tin rubbing my right shoulder. Ma'am Tin is indeed Sundanese, ninety-five percent I can speak Sundanese because mbak Tin, especially because at the Junior High School at that time, there was a little extra Sundanese language lessons, Sundanese, being an added value for me close to Mbak Tin who is very fluent in Sundanese, even though until now I am close to mbak Tin especially he already considers me as his sister.

"Bak Tin, said I told you to stop by the house. I've been a long time since Tin didn't stop by the house." I replied telling Tin's mom.

"Well Dit, nyuwun sewu, not mbak taingin to your house, but mbak again many orders."

"Oh that's Ma'am, Dito will tell Mom. Yaudah deh mbak, Dito left first, afraid late." I replied to mbak Tin.

I turned my back and started rushing away.A few steps I took, Tin called me back.

"Down!" mama Tin shouted to me.

I turned my head and responded to the screams from Mr. Tin.

"What's wrong, mbak?" much

"You already know not yet, if the house beside your house there are mystical events, many residents of the complex who say that it turns out the house is not occupied at all human, but strangely the house is like there is a person, he said, self-flashing headlights, flickering garden lights, self-opening and closed window doors, self-rotating tap garden water, water, mr. RT and the complex security guard have tortured him many times but there is no one at all in the house."
