The House 1937's
8. Babah's??

My grandmother closed the stall slower than usual. Usually around 5 pm Grandma had closed the stall, but because earlier she was cleaning up her merchandise inventory that had just come from the market, but because she was just, grandma so have to clean it all first just close the stall. If it is more than 5 pm, then, usually around the grandmother's house even in the stall has started many mosquitoes that come flying everywhere which certainly makes grandmother uncomfortable if you have to be there more afternoon than usual. After locking the door of his stall, Grandma walked slowly and carefully towards the front door of the house and she estimated that it was now probably almost 7 p.m, and he had to hurry into the house to see the preparation for dinner in the kitchen. Maybe also papa and Aunt are also in the kitchen waiting for grandma.

Grandma opened the door with the key she was holding and when she was about to close the door, she felt like she saw something near her stall. It was like a black silhouette near his stall. My grandmother immediately closed and locked the door of the house and saw from the gap of the window curtains and waited for a moment whether she saw wrong or not, my grandmother suggested that the black silhouette near her stall was like the silhouette of a person and fortunately the living room lamp of the house had not been turned on so it was likely that no one would have realized from outside the house that she was peek out the house. Grandma only felt afraid and worried if the silhouette was someone who would break into her stall because about a year ago the stall owned by grandmother had been broken into by irresponsible people and almost half the contents of the stall have disappeared which resulted in the grandmother experiencing a large enough loss for the size of a small stall. Grandma continued to observe the figure standing near the stall, which was like moving slowly walking which made her appearance not too dark as before.

The figure was dressed in the form of clothes after the tops and subordinates that were salt egg green, which seemed to grandmother felt familiar with the model and color of the clothes. For a moment Grandma thought and she remembered that it was the clothes that the late grandfather wore when he was in his coffin before the funeral procession would be carried out. Grandma's heart was pounding and feeling confused, why was the clothes of the person outside similar to the clothes of the late grandfather?, there is no way anyone would have a similar outfit because the outfit was specially ordered by a grandmother's tailor for grandfather when grandfather was alive to stock his clothes. When Grandma peeked back out she was so shocked by the appearance of "someone" it was increasingly clear and visible clothes that are in accordance with the memory of the grandmother who made the grandmother shudder in fear only her face was invisible because it was still in the dark shadow of her shop. As soon as the figure was about to walk back, some of his legs looked transparent as if they did not touch the ground and he saw one hand waving towards grandma, grandma immediately fell sitting down below with a granny cry that held back the pain in her legs. And I saw my father, my aunt, and aunt half running from the kitchen to get Grandma into the living room still in pain. Aunty went straight to the kitchen with the initiative to bring a basin of warm water and a small towel for the sick grandmother's leg, the aunt went to the grandmother's room to take grandmother's medicine. And papa was seen trying to calm grandma who not only looks sick, but also looks very shocked, like having seen something very creepy.
