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.
