The House 1937's
26. Goodbye to Aunt.....

Aunty rubbed her two eyes that were still trying to gather her vision ability. Everything still felt blurry and when he blinked his eyes for the umpteenth time, a dark atmosphere was plastered throughout the eyes looking around this family room. Aunty knew exactly this living room in her home but somehow she felt very strange about her being here. His body shivered a little because the temperature of this family room felt cold and made him feel increasingly foreign. My aunt dared to step her feet slowly to go to the back of the house. Even this piercing shivering he felt to the soles of his feet because the floor of the house also felt cold.

Aunty does not know exactly why the family room that is very familiar to him is now foreign added again with a dark atmosphere and cold that makes it very uncomfortable. As soon as his steps reached the end of the living room, he suddenly felt a pain in his upper back teeth and reflexively held onto his cheek. The unbearable pain made him swallow and fall down. Aunty opened her mouth slightly and saw fresh blood flowing from there along with a strange taste felt by her sense of taste.

The blood from his mouth was still flowing quite a lot and there was one molar tooth that fell on his palm.He held onto his blood-soaked molar teeth and watched it closely at once with a confused look. And he also saw like someone was standing in front of him, someone who wore a knee-length skirt with small flowers on the bottom of his skirt and he was no stranger to that flower-patterned skirt.

Aunty immediately opened her eyes and immediately sat on her bed. His breathing was slightly breathless with cold sweat drenching his entire face. His heart was beating so fast that he reflexively held onto his right cheek and left cheek. He took a short breath while covering the mouth with a palm with a look of shock. It turned out that it was just a dream, though, but he felt it was too real for a dream because he still remembered the pain he felt when the blood came out of his mouth and also his molar teeth were loose.

He got up from the bed and looked directly at himself in the mirror at the door of his wardrobe and he saw how messy he was with a face soaked in sweat, messy hair that was also slightly wet from sweat. Aunty immediately opened her mouth while looking in the mirror and she saw all her teeth perfectly intact, nothing could escape like in her dream. Aunty again rubbed both cheeks with furrowed eyebrows, not only blood and teeth were loose, but she also saw like someone wearing a flower-patterned skirt on the bottom, he said, but just looking at the bottom of her skirt without seeing the face of that person. Aunty thought for a moment of good luck flashing back, the flower-patterned skirt.., it seems she had seen it but somewhere.

Aunty finally decided to get out of her room to go to the kitchen to fetch a glass of water and take a bath. Perhaps it could make her much better and forget her strange dream. Once out of the room, he immediately looked around the family room which was the same as in his dream, only in his dream it looked dark and dim, also felt cold. He shook his head slowly and immediately stepped into the kitchen.

It turned out that the voice of Grandma who had just heard came from Aunt's room which was now the door of her room was wide open. Seen Grandma who sat in the chair in front of Aunt's room while crying and there Papa also who was trying to calm Grandma with red eyes glazed. Aunty looked at the open door and turned her gaze toward Grandma and Papa. Aunty approached the two of them with a confused look mixed in fear. Did something happen to Auntie that they got to like this?.

"Koh..., what's this?, Why are You crying?, Alin heard Enah yelling from outside the room..." My aunt shook Papa's shoulder slowly, she was so impatient that she immediately wanted to know the answer to what was really going on. Papa just kept quiet and hugged my Tantu and whispered to him in a raucous voice.

"Auntie is no Lin, Aunty is dead, later we will ask for help from the people for Aunt's funeral .", Papa increasingly tightened his embrace to his sister.

"What??", Aunt was so surprised by what Papa said, that she let go of his embrace a little harshly and ran into Aunt's room.

When he was in the doorway of the room, he saw Bibi's body that had been stretched stiff with the face and head that had previously been covered by a white cloth. My aunt cried louder and was about to fall in the doorway if Papa hadn't broken her. What makes Auntie even more hysterical is when she saw the small floral patterned skirt worn by Aunt's corpse was exactly the same as the skirt worn by someone mysterious who was in her dream last night. Is that dream a sign of what surprised him this morning...???.
