Chapter 4 - Disruption from Adek

"I'm drawing. This is a tree, this is a house, then this is a highway" I said while pointing at the picture to explain to Adek.

Mother who was busy folding clothes stopped, she was silent watching me speak to myself. But at that time, my mother didn't suspect anything because normally small children always talk to themselves when they are having fun playing, she thought.

"I want a picture too. I want a red picture!" Adek said to me about to take crayons.

"You can't! The crayons will break and I'll be scolded by daddy!" I said while hugging the drawing book and also the crayons even though some of them fell from my arms.

Mother stopped what she was doing and then looked at me with a surprised look.

"You're stingy! Anyway, I also want to draw!" said Adek getting annoyed.

"No way! You go there! Go home!" I tried to shoo her away but Adek still wouldn't leave, she returned to watching me draw and color. Suddenly Adek grabbed my drawing book then ran and disappeared through the wall.

"You're mean! You're mean! I don't want to play with you anymore!" I shouted in annoyance while regretting the picture that I had made a mess.

"What's wrong with you, why are you angry?"

"Naughty Adek Mom, she ruined my drawing!" I replied annoyed.

"Adek? Adek who?"

"That Adek, she ran over there," I said, pointing to the wall where Adek disappeared earlier.

"Whose Adek do you mean?" mother asked curiously looking at the empty wall that I pointed with my finger. Mom's expression changed, then looked at me confused because she didn't see anything on the wall.

"Ade naughty mom! She always destroys when she plays."

Mother stared silently.

"Okay, if she comes again, just tell her to leave. Don't want to play with her again," said my mother, even though she didn't understand my behavior.

Not only at home, Adek also always comes over when I play outside the house with other friends. When I was busy playing with my friends, Adek just stood watching us. I was always annoyed with her, that's why I never asked her to play even though I saw her alone.

Adek is like a child who doesn't have parents, her clothes never change either. she has never been searched for even though she wanders around every day and even at night sometimes I see her playing alone in front of the house. Like that afternoon...

"Mom, Adek doesn't come home, does she? How come she can play at night" I said while peeking through the glass window, but mom was silent while wrinkling her eyebrows.

"Mom, can I come play with her?"

"You can't Nimas! It's already night, there are no small children playing outside the house!"

"But Adek can play outside the house"

"Where's Adek?"

"There" I replied tiptoe looking again from the window. Mother followed and looked and looked out of the house from the window but again she saw nothing there. Mother even shuddered when she saw the dark and deserted courtyard.

"It's getting late, you should sleep" mom said holding my hand away from the window. I followed mother's words even though Adek kept calling me from outside, she asked me to come out and play with her.

After the drawing incident I didn't want to play with Adek anymore, even though she just stood and didn't disturb me I always chased her away. Until one day, I was playing cooking alone in the yard, when Adek came and immediately squatted in front of me.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Playing"

"I am coming along"

"You can't, you naughty!" I said while busy stirring the soil in a small bowl.

I thought Adek would leave after I kicked her out, but she didn't, instead she pinched my thigh really tight then she ran away and disappeared. I screamed and cried loudly, when I so hysterics my mother immediately came to hold me.

"What's wrong with you?!" asked the worried mother.

"Naughty Adek Mam, she pinched me" I said crying while stroking my thigh. Mother immediately checked and sure enough, Adek's pinch really had a blue mark.

"Oh my gosh" mother was shocked by the pinch marks, but on the other hand she also couldn't do anything because mother knew that Adek was a ghost that it was impossible for her to chase or even see.

"Honey, it's better for you to just stay at home, tonight daddy will come home. Let daddy piss off Adek" mom said annoyed because she often saw me always cry because I was bothered by a ghost named Adek.

After that incident my mother didn't let me play alone at all, even though she was busy she kept watching over me so that Adek had no chance to disturb, but it's true, since mother was near me Adek didn't dare to come close. I saw her peeking from behind the door. "That's mom, Adek peeking" I said pointing towards the door.

Immediately the mother immediately rose from her seat and grabbed a broomstick.

"Let's go you! Don't disturb Nimas anymore!" mother snapped while hitting all surfaces of the sills and doors with a broomstick. At that time I saw Adek run in fear and he didn't dare to peek again.

In the evening my father came home, after dinner my mother told everything that had happened to me, about my ghost sister who always bothered me when I was playing. Mother also showed a bruise from Adek's pinch on my thigh, making my father silent, staring at the bruise.

"Okay, it's okay. Let daddy punish her later, okay?" Dad said stroking my head.

After that dad told me to go to bed. I don't know what he will do but since that night, Adek was never seen again and never came to see me again.

Accounts can play very quietly, without anything else to annoy or make me cry. I'm sure father has driven Adek away.
