Strange Sounds.

" No need to hesitate, now call Gus just feel like my cleric, hehe. Let's stop by Tok's house first." Invite me all to chat with him and others who are currently waiting in the house.


" Any well Gus. But by the way this house is actually—


" Yes, I already know. Therefore I want to hear the full story of what it is like from you, you 'the original citizens here certainly know, are you busy at this time?" I asked her if she might want to do other activities, because I asked her maybe she felt awkward if she refused.


" Oh no Gus, after taking Grandma for treatment I just cleaned the backyard." The answer is steady, it means he is not busy.


" What is his Grandma sick?" I asked a little curious.


" It's Gus, Grandma's eyesight is getting lower probably the age factor as well."


" O God, may soon be healed, Grandma, we also can not oppose fate if it's time, let's go first we continue talking inside."


We both walked towards the new house that my family and I were going to occupy. Indeed, the first time until then I have felt another hawanya in this house, especially in the coffee garden next to this house. But I hope that hopefully they don't bother us family, Aamiin.


" Assalamulaikum.." Say us at the same time.


" Moreo."


" Oh there's a guest toch, let's go in, son." Pinta Mommy-in-law to Totok my former student in town.


" Thank you, Mom." He sat down near the Father-in-law, then followed me beside him.


" Titip the kids Bi." Said my wife.


Anni went to walk back with Mom and Sam's neighbor might want to make a drink or something. So that the children were left to us all the men.


I also proposed that I would fence this house first to make my wife and children comfortable later. And it turns out that my proposal was approved by the Father-in-law as well as everything, Totok immediately proposed him who would give news to all the neighbors if later in the afternoon would be held a Thanksgiving celebration event while fencing the house.


" Thank God, thank you so much, Tok." I said as I looked ahead.


" Well, that's good, all of you to take care of you. We don't know what it was like in here before, especially this house has not been occupied for a long time!" Father who strongly agreed.


The day before noon, Mr. Ran and Totok parted to go home first, later in the afternoon just came again before our event. I look after my children while my wife, Mother and Sam are still busy behind the cooking is helped by the neighboring mothers who have been notified and asked for help by Totok as a native here.


Evening before after the service from the mosque I and Totok immediately prepare a place for the event later, a carpet partially owned by Totok that he had taken at his home. At first, his grandmother suspected that what was next to the house sounded crowded, Totok finally told about our move, especially Anni to his Grandmother. As a result, his grandmother is now in the room to help keep the children.


" This bi please." Anni exclaimed while thrusting a garbage of rice that has been neatly arranged in the form of a central cone and the edges there are in the form of round-round a fist.


Yes like this is the custom of our village brought here, whether in this area is the same or not. What is clear is that everyone follows the cook, and surely Mother-in-law is the leader of the cook and everything according to what he said.


" It could start this show sir." Said a middle-aged obedient man may be the age of the Father-in-law, and said Totok he is a person who usually leads prayers if there are events of thanksgiving or similar salvation in this village.


Actually I and Totok can indeed get used to it too, but it is not good also if you lead in your own home, especially the new residents here are also in honor of his original people here, he was also older than us, so we asked him for help. Later if the fence event of my new house will pray for itself.


The event also took place with wisdom and also smoothly, right adzan isya' reverberating the event was completed. We immediately cleaned up the remains of the basin and the container that was used at the event, then after we the men went to the mosque, while the women were busy washing dirty tools.


A while later after everything was done, it was the turn of the men who would do a fig fencing the house. We have all prepared buckets of water that has been mixed with salt. After I read some holy verses we went in the opposite direction to pour a little by little the mixed water into the suburban land to circle our house.


Alhmdulillah not so long our activities were completed. Father, Mother, Mr. Ran and Mr. Sam came home because the night was late, we all delivered up to the front yard.


Now lives Totok and Grandma who still live at home. We were all still gathered in the living room, while my wife was putting Zaheera and Zefa to sleep in the room. While Zia was not yet sleepy and was sitting on Totok's lap right now they were joking.


" Granny let's just go home tonight, Grandma must be sleepy. Tomorrow we come again." Said Totok invite his Grandma to go home.


" It's true that Nek, instead of Aziz would throw out, but Grandma must be tired all day already helping to take care of our children. I represent the wife to say many thanks to Grandma also Totok, already wanted to be bothered by us." My timpals are a little unwell.


" Don't feel sad, yes Grandma wants to go home and just rest. So that tomorrow you can play with your children again, everything is adorable. If it's okay for this big one, Grandma just slept together." His request looked towards Zia. I know he must be lonely.


" Aziz doesn't matter to Nek, it's up to his son to want to or not." My heart smiles back at him.


" Nduk come with Grandma to sleep at Grandma's house." He tried to persuade Zia.


Zia shook her head quickly, then turned her head towards me. I can understand for sure he doesn't want to. And in the end Grandma also relented and then went home with her granddaughter Totok.


After that I immediately locked the front door while carrying Zia who was not sleepy, not forgetting I also checked the back door, it was locked. When I went into my room I saw my wife Anni was not asleep.


" So, how come you haven't slept?" I asked without holding her while putting Zia on the bed next to her sister Zaheera. " Sleep, baby it's night, read the prayer first." I rubbed my daughter's head.


" I'm waiting for Abi from earlier, Grandma same Totok already home huh?" Ask back while getting up sitting leaning back.


" It's just now. " I saw before long Zia was asleep, it seemed like she was already sleepy but held back by him. Then I walked to the other bed.


In this room there are already two beds that cross. The room is also large enough for the five of us. I lay down beside my wife, who was looking at Zepha who had fallen asleep.


" Let's sleep this late." Let me start closing my eyes while rubbing my wife's head.


Just closed the sound of a strange sound from the side of the house, whether that's what sound, I just let it go better to sleep quickly.


" Bi what's that sound?" Whisper my wife who hasn't slept. I think he was asleep.


" What sound, nothing, maybe it's the sound of a hungry dog, already again, Abi hugged." I tightened my arms hoping my wife didn't think.
