Several months passed, it was time for me to start elementary school. Mother and father decided to move to a more strategic location, especially close to the school.
At that time I was just about to enter elementary school, of course it was an important point so that my mother could take me to school without using public transportation. After my mother visited several places, she finally got a rented house not far from school at a fairly cheap price.
Mr. Min is the name of the owner of the rented house that we will live in later, mother met him and looked at the condition of the rented house.
There are row houses for rent, about 6 rows of houses with the same model. Each house has a bathroom inside, different from the previous house which had a bathroom outside the house.
Let me tell you a few details about the atmosphere in the rental house, so that it's easier for you to imagine and it will be easier for you to understand with my next storyline.
Right on the left or east side of the house there is a large garden where there are coconut trees, bamboo trees and also shrubs, while at the end of the garden there is a long river which has two lanes. One line runs north and the other runs west past the back of our rental house.
Bamboo trees grow thickly along the banks of the river, if during the day the atmosphere there does feel very cool, but when it's night, the atmosphere turns tense.
Across the river there is still a field, actually when seen from a distance the field is not clearly visible because it is covered in the shade of bamboo trees, but I once sneaked across the river and played there hehe, please don't imitate it, that's not very good.
The field which is located across the river is not an ordinary field, there is a special field for soldier who practice every day. Martial arts, shooting, and so on.
Sometimes I wade there to get empty bullets for toys, but after my father found out, I was scolded and I was not allowed to cross the river again.
In front of the rental house there is also a field which is sometimes used as a resting point for soldier who have been training by the river. While on the west side is a village. Really cool place, right? But you don't know how terrible that place is.
That day we finished moving things from the old house, it also happened that dad was on holiday, so someone helped pack and carry things.
The first day we slept in a new rental house, even though we had simple mattresses, we could sleep quite comfortably. Initially, there was nothing strange on the first Sunday, until the following Sunday, Mother started getting the first disturbances.
That night my mother woke up in the middle of the night because she wanted to go to the toilet, but not as usual, that night mother felt a different air and made her feel like she didn't dare to go to the toilet alone.
Mother turned to Father who was fast asleep, she wanted to wake him up but couldn't. Finally the mother worked up the courage to go to the toilet alone even though she was really hesitant.
In the midst of her fear, mother suddenly stopped in the kitchen. Faintly, she heard the sound of someone snoring loudly. Mother paused and strained her ears.
"Why is my husband snoring so loud?" whispered mother in the heart.
Mother felt more and more chills, she rushed to the toilet and wanted to finish quickly and then return to the room.
A few minutes later the mother finished, she rushed back to the room but the snoring sounded louder, and strangely... The snoring sound was now heard from the bathroom.
Mother stopped, curiosity began to emerge and wanted to make sure that her ears didn't hear wrongly. Mother turned towards the bathroom but strangely, the snoring suddenly disappeared.
Feeling something was not right, mother immediately walked quickly into the room. Just as mom closed the door again the sound of snoring was heard again, mom immediately looked at dad and apparently it wasn't dad who was snoring. Dad is fast asleep but he doesn't snore.
Mother's heart was beating fast, the worst thing was, now the sound of loud snoring was heard in the living room right in front of our room.
"No-no.... Maybe I'm wrong, maybe the snoring came from the next door neighbor" muttered the mother then.
After positive thinking finally the fear disappeared, mother returned to continue her sleep.
The next day, mom told dad about last night's incident while laughing because she was scared by hear neighbor's snoring. But hearing Mother's story, father even furrowed his eyebrows "What's wrong, my husband?" asked the mother who was confused by the expression of the father who was looking at her closely.
"My wife... The rented house next to us is empty"
Hearing father's answer, immediately mother's laughter disappeared. Her face turned pale and goosebumps ran through her whole body.
"Then... Who was snoring last night?" asked the mother with a tone of fear.
Father was silent, actually he knows who is snoring because my father also has an advantage and can see ghosts. But if he explained who was snoring, Mother would be even more frightened.
"Come on, don't think about it too much" dad said then smiled.
Actually mom is still very curious even though she can already guess it, the sound of snoring last night isn't human but she appreciates dad if he doesn't want to tell, maybe it's better. Mother held back the question in her heart and tried to forget last night's incident.
But it seems that mother has to be more careful because she knows that there are occupants other than humans in the empty house next door, mother becomes worried, as much as possible she tries to stay calm and think positively to get rid of all fear.
