Other World Friendship
Start Entrance to School

It's been almost half a year I've been living in the house, I also started to have friends, he's my neighbor's son his name is Kinno I used to call him Kin, he was my first friend when I was just a few days away from home. During my stay at home, the oddities in the house began to happen often, but I was getting used to the situation because I always turned my mind so that the fear did not control my mind.

The day of receiving new students finally arrived, after 6 months I waited finally I was able to register to enter the new Junior High not far from my house, it just so happened that Kinno was also going to apply to the same school as me, the two of us ended up enrolling in the school we chose, she said, kinno and I went to enroll on foot because the distance from home and school was close enough to only take 5 minutes on foot. Actually I'm not very familiar with him because I'm a quiet and shy kid so I don't talk to him too much but, uh, he who always talked to me a lot whether he told himself the problems of his daily activities without me having to ask.

Along the way Kin selau told me about his days until I finally did not realize that I had reached the school we were going to, I saw that there were many who wanted to register and they were all accompanied by their parents only me and Kinno who signed up alone without the company of a parent or guardian, there is a sense of envy to see those who are accompanied by their parents only this time I applied to school alone is usually the father who always enrolls me to the school of his choice without me having to go with him. Kinno and I started to register, we were given a form by the committee and we had to fill it out immediately, Kinno and I started filling out the form.

“Lan, borrow a dong” pen Kino said

“You didn't bring a Kin pen? I only bring one nih”, I said.

“I forgot to take Lan, just me pinjem same people first” said Kinno while walking towards the supervisor.

Soon Kinno came with a pen and a box.

“Nih dapet Lan”

“Whose are you minjam? this trus why the box is also brought?”

“I borrow the same teacher who was sitting in front, in love with his place all I brought here”

“ya let's fill the form so we quickly go home”

Kinno and I finally finished filling out the school registration form, and we collected it to the superintendent and other requirements, after doing my registration and Kinno went home and will be back again when the announcement day arrives.

A few weeks had passed, finally the day of the announcement of the admission of new students at the school I chose arrived, the morning around 08:00 am I and Kin headed to the school of our choice, and again along the way Kin always told me about the day he passed, when he arrived at school it was me and Kin went straight to the notice board and see if our names were on the list, it turned out that our name was on the list and we were in the same class that was 7C class. Kin and I returned home happy because we were finally accepted and started attending school on Monday.

The first day of school arrived, I was preparing to go to school before long Kin approached me at home to leave together.

"Lan, let's spit it out later!" kino.

"Yes bentar" I said while putting shoes in front of the porch of the house.

We started walking to school on the way to school, not only were we walking, there were many other students going to the same school, not only the freshmen but also the many upperclassmen who walk towards the school because, because, in my neighborhood many who attended school there it feels very exciting to walk in crowds even though we do not know each other.

I also entered the 7C classroom, the first time I entered the classroom, I could only shut up, though there were many of my classmates who invited me to talk but I just fell silent not answering because I did not understand what they were saying, sometimes I am confused to have to answer and reply to their conversations because I am not too able and understand their language, because when they speak to fellow friends or to teachers they always use Regional Language, because when they speak to their teachers, they always use Regional Language, they rarely use English.

The bell rang, a sign that we were about to start a lesson, a teacher came into our class.

"Good morning, welcome to our school, may you all learn diligently and achieve in this school and the most important thing is to obey the rules in this school remember and understand everything?"

"Iyaa understands ma'am" said the student simultaneously.

"Well introduce the name of mother Rosdiana, you can call me Mother Diana, Mother will be your homeroom teacher as well as your Indonesian teacher, now so we can get to know each other Mother will miss you one by one who I call her name can stand up and introduce yourself!"

One by one the students were taken in and introduced themselves to my name which was called by Mother Diana.

"Next what I call his name can stand up and introduce him yes, Wulandari Oktaria?”

I started to stand up with a lack of confidence and a little nervous I started to introduce myself.

"Include my name Wulandari Oktaria, can call me Wulan, I am from SDN Tunas Jakarta, I just moved here 6 months ago, thank you."

When I stood up and introduced myself all my classmates looked at me because I was the only student who spoke Indonesian. Because I had time to go to school at Junior High School in Jakarta, I was a bit surprised by the learning process which I think is much easier to understand and also the teachers here start the lesson with the explanation of the material first and if not understand we can ask, then we can ask, inversely with my school.

I chose a seat in the back, because I prefer to be alone and a bit lazy to socialize because it is constrained by my shy nature and also in language, for some reason now I prefer to be alone at home or at school it makes me feel calm and peaceful if I am alone in school I spend time alone sitting on the back bench at the very back home I spend time alone in the room or in the kitchen it's my favorite places to spend time.

Until one night I had a strange dream, I had a dream like a luminous object like a shooting star was pointing at me, I woke up and the next day after having that dream I got sick and didn't go to school for three days, I felt weird but I kept thinking positive.

The day began to day and the sun began to rise, suddenly there was a neighbor who visited my house I used to call her mbak Lis, she sometimes likes to play at home while confiding in her lover and romance problems.

when he told me about his girlfriend I accidentally asked Lis.

"Who's girlfriend What's her name?” when I heard my question, Lis answered.

I spontaneously answered

"The good guy is mbak, he is firm and serious just as mbak not kidding. Her stature is high, clean, white hair flapping people are smart mbak" suddenly mbak Lis also looks shocked and looks at me.

"You know where it came from? I haven't told you Lan."

"I don't know if suddenly there's a look in my mind like that."

Sister Lis still did not believe what I said then I asked mbak Lis.

"Why is it?"

"Yes.everything you say is true Lan, no one misses a single one!"

"Ah time? it's a coincidence maybe" I said.

"Not really, really, it's all true." said Lis very convincingly.

I also felt the strangeness that was inside me.

Until one day when I was relaxing in the kitchen window staring at the grave somehow I felt strange with what I saw was not the grave but I even saw a village there was very crowded and many people, I saw there were many houses, then I began to look towards the big rowu tree (kapok tree) in the cemetery, in my vision the tree turned into a mansion as big and luxurious as a palace and I saw many people dressed as soldiers guarding the house.

Long enough I stared at the grave but there was a strange population there they seemed to realize I was watching them at last, all the people there looked at me as if they were conscious and knew I was watching them.

Their appearance was like a human but there was a difference in their faces that looked pale I started to feel uncomfortable and finally I decided to move from there and return to the room after being in room, I felt calm and because my body was still not feeling well I decided to sleep.

When I woke up it was already afternoon, I finally decided to take a shower so that my body felt fresh.

"When you take a shower eat nduk!”

"Yes Mbah" I said.

After the shower, I finally went to the kitchen to get some food.

"Where has Lan eaten your body?"

"Lumayan Mbah is a little good". My solute.

"Take your food Lan, go to the kitchen first."

"Yeah of mba."

Mbah also went to the kitchen leaving me alone at the table so after finishing eating I also returned to rest in the room to fall asleep, did not feel the day had started magrib mbah also began to wake me.

"Lan wake up nduk magrib, can not sleep magrib-magrib!"

"Yes I'm awake."

I finally woke up and leaned against the wall in my room and suddenly Mom came home from work.

"Where do you want to go this hard, I brought you medicine!"

"Yes ma'am pretty good thanks ma'am the medicine" I said.

" Lan's taking the medicine."

"Yes ma'am."

I got out of bed to fetch some water to the kitchen for I suddenly heard a voice that was crying very sad when the sound was outside the kitchen window, since the window is made of wood and there are no glasses I had to open it first in order to see out.
