After a 1-hour journey from the bus terminal to their destination. Adit, Ica and Adi have been in front of an old building that does not seem to be very well maintained. Looking at the 2-story building with 12 rooms, the bamboo tree on the right of the building is so lush, that some of the stems and leaves, and so on, enter the boarding room area on the 2nd floor adjacent to the bamboo tree.
"Welcome to the bamboo boarding, how are you going?" greet the husband and wife of the owner of the boarding house
"Include me Julia and this is my husband Roni, the owner of these boarding houses," Julia said.
"Wait a minute, today we only get info if the one who came to rent at this boarding house is only 2 people, why the three of you?" ask Roni.
"Pardon us Om, Auntie!, we do not mean.." replied Ica whose explanation suddenly cut off.
"Hooooooooo..!?, so you're Ica well the granddaughter of Bu Laila?" julia asked, holding and pinching Ica's cheek very happily and anxiously.
"And you're the granddaughter of Bu Kety well?, your body is good, your body is stocky full of muscles, you're in the same dining what the hell is the same Miss Keti?" he continued while pinching Adi's cheek.
"Sorry Auntie, you mean maybe the young man behind me?" answer Adi whose cheeks are still in the pinch.
"Hehehe .. Yes Aunt I am the granddaughter of Oma Kety," Adit replied with his innocent smile.
"Oh .. sorry .. sorry, and also don't call Auntie dong!, just call Mom and sir, okeeh!?," said Ms. Julia in embarrassment.
"Then you go in first, it's 11 pm, you callekkan?, here the air is cold, you will get sick again," said Mr. Roni, taking the three of them, and then you will get sick again, towards the house of Mr. Roni and Ms. Julia, which is beside the boarding building.
After meeting in front of the boarding fence, Adit, Ica and Adi were invited to enter the house of Mr. Roni and Ms. Julia. With a cup of warm tea and a little pastry and snacks.
"So, because it's almost midnight, and also the info that we get, if the upcoming hire only 2 people and we only prepared 2 rooms that have been tidied," said Mr. Roni explained.
"Yes, here we have 12 rooms, 6 above and 6 below" Ms Julia said.
"So the room we cleaned and tidied up was downstairs next to the stairs leading up, room number 2 and room number 3" said Ms. Julia.
"So as I see it, these boarding houses are 2-story with 12 rooms. With a 3-room building plan on the left and 3 rooms on the right with a staircase leading to the 2nd floor in the middle of the 3 rooms, so even on the 2nd floor follows the floor plan downstairs."
"We lived alone and we were very busy, so we didn't have time to take care of this place" Mr. Roni said.
"You can see alone?, the leaves are scattered on the ground, sometimes other residents also help us to clean it, but because the bamboo tree is too lush there must be a clumsy foliage," said Ms Julia, said, continue the words of Mr. Roni
"So one of you will occupy the upper room that is still empty" said Mr. Roni.
"Isn't there a room under Masi?" asked Adit.
"Yes right, but other than the 2 empty rooms below, the others are already filled up" Julia replied.
"Let me who inhabit the lower room huh?, upstairs looks very creepy" Adi whispered to Adit.
"Well!? … What am I not afraid of?" adit whispered.
By looking at them both Ica said, "You're not going to Adit, rather than why."
Ica said that because Ica knew, Adit from the same village as her, and thought Adit might have gotten used to the unexpected.
"I will give you what you want!," persuaded Adi with a little bit of compassion.
Ica and Adi nodded their heads while staring at Adit. After their conversation, Mr. Roni drove Adit, Ica and Adi to the front of the boarding house without being accompanied by Ms. Julia.
Arriving in front of the stairs to the 2nd floor, Ica and Adi headed straight to their respective rooms. Adit and Mr. Roni who started a small conversation in front of the stairs to the top floor.
"So this is the key to your room, your room is in the right corner near the bamboo tree, room number 12," said Mr. Roni.
"Why not just next to the stairs, sir, the room?" asked Adit with a little annoyance.
"As you can see, this building is poorly maintained, so in addition to the room in the corner, the other room WCnya damaged, the tap has not been repaired," said Mr. Roni, said, explain to Adit while giving the key.
"If you want, you can slightly tidy up the bamboo that goes into the building area," continued Mr. Roni.
"Stypical Sir!?" Adit said in disbelief.
"Yes, you want to rest, then you will lower the rental price but only 10%, hahahaha," said Mr. Roni with a little mock.
While looking at the key in his hand, there was faintly someone standing staring at Adit on the stairs leading to the top floor.
looking up at the stairs Adit said, "what was that?, maybe it was just my feeling."
Adit was shocked and shouted when his wrist was held. "Woy what are you?" asked Adi who was a bit surprised while indeed Adit's hand.
"What are you doing?, you startled me!," while releasing his hand from Adi's grasp.
"Partially I call even daydream."
"That's it! I'm going to my room!" said Adit with a slight annoyance.
"Hehehe .. sorry well and thank you, if you need help just ask me," said Adi with a little laugh.
Adit headed to his room with annoyance and complaint, "What the hell is this why I must inhabit that room, the leaves are scattered, the lights are flickering, I hope the room is fine."
By entering the room slowly, Adit was amazed to see the condition of the room was neat and clean.
As well-maintained, not even a speck of dust existed.
"She was unkempt, but this could be said to be like someone inhabiting this place." Said Adit while looking around.
"Hopefully the child will be at home with his room" said Mr. Roni as he entered his house.
"Huaa...! maybe I should just go to bed, grateful it doesn't have to clean the room first," Adit said as he laid his body in bed.
"Even the mattresses and blankets clean looks new" he continued, enveloping his body and closing his eyes.
After closing his eyes and sleeping, without knowing what will happen to the next day. Morning arrived with sunlight entering his room from the ventilation holes.
Adit woke up and held up half his body, as well as the girl next to him. With their faces still sleepy they both stared at each other for a few seconds and shouted.
"AAAAHHHHHHHH...!!!"
