The House 1937's

The House 1937's
1. Prologues


For some, home is


a place to stay, to go home, to come home,


gather with family, for a break, for a break,


or the place where they grew up and


growing up takes up some of the time


their lives are at the same time with various


memories created there, no memories


good or otherwise.


There are also people who say that "My house


My paradise". Yeah, lucky they were when


have a home with a quiet atmosphere


and comfortable. Which is a dream home


for many people.


But what if the house they


the house is an old house


they have been standing for a long time and they know they are not


live alone in that house. An invisible entity


eyes side by side live there like


the shadow that never leaves


any thing. Their eyes showed


their existence seems indirect


to convey to man that


they exist and are real in the world


this mortal. They seem to know no time for


'greet' us whether it's day or night.


I am one of those humans who


being a resident of the house was not spared from


'them' who always 'greet' me with


their way.


And this house, not just as a place


I live for me and my family, but


as a place to leave


memories in my life because


this is where I grew and developed


spent most of my life, though,


so too with my distant father


I lived in this house from birth.


Believe it or not, even in nature


even though I dream, I always dream


almost all over this house, whether in


living room, kitchen, bedroom, in yard,


or in a field of size that is quite large


it's right next to the yard.


This is my story, living in an old house with


the old architecture is so much


keep memories for me. What's more, the,


memories related to 'them' who


I felt there, too, as if they were


implying the phrase 'there is though invisible'


The house was founded in 1937 with


peranakan Chinese architecture


rarely found in the present. I


remember the year of the construction of this house because


clearly depicted on the wall of the kitchen


form the number of years and have


I asked my grandmother before


the number of years on that wall.


The most


I remember that house was the key to the door


the room is manual with


using a typical wooden house grendel


in ancient times and also with its floor


not using modern ceramics such as


now, still using a kind of ceramic


traditional yellowish. With


the room in each house is quite large and


with a page that is also no less extensive


the field I used to use


for cycling when I was a kid.


Not yet


with the back of the house still


empty land that is grown a lot


wild plants and trees such as


water guava tree, coconut tree, and tree


mangoes. In addition to wild plants and trees,


there is also a type of dam that is also quite wide


there are many overgrown hyacinths.


On the front of the empty land as well


two buildings that look shabby


with two doors with a shabby padlock already


rusted. The first door is one


warehouse that stores equipment


old man, I know the contents of that barn because once


once I looked there when my grandmother


opening the door to the barn, I don't know


why did I forget about that.


The other door is the warehouse


used to store


rice sacks. At that time the family


papa still owns and manages the rice fields


they own, and store the grain of produce


paddy them into that barn.


And again, my memories of this house


I can never forget until


to day.
