Am I Different?
(S3) Up to


The dinar squirmed its body, slowly starting to open its eyes.


"Has it been bad, brother?" ask Dinar.


"No, Din. We just took a break, at the patrol post with the other gentlemen. Did he eat his body?" ask Brother Andre.


"Alhamdulillah, Brother. But if you remember, horrify. Kaya stuck that in my memory the girl's face," Dinar said.


"Just pray a lot, so that later the shadow will disappear by itself. Still late, you better continue your sleep. I'll be there soon, I'll wake you up." Andre didn't tell Dinar that on purpose. He just didn't want to, if his sister-in-law was getting scared.


The further this car takes them away. The city lights sparkle at night, making the heart feel calm. There is no such feeling of unrest as when passing through the wilderness road like before.


An hour drive back they traveled, but did not feel tired like before. The journey was smooth, until they reached their destination. Dinar and Dita woke up by themselves.


"Mirquette, Who?" ask Brother Dita.


"Yes, Honey. Get up, yuk," Andre asked.


They also came down, looking magnificent two-story house. The white paint starts to fade and the yard gets a little dirty due to the dry foliage that falls. It's pitch-black, because the lights in this house aren't on at all.  There was no other lighting, other than the spotlights from the street right in front of this luxurious house.


"This is her house?" ask Dinar to his parents.


"Yes, Din. The inside has been cleaned a little, although not the whole. I forgot to tell the owner if we leave tonight. So we can't go straight to sleep inside, because there's still a lot of dust." His father explained while asking the hauler to drop off his belongings.


"Just in the morning, you can temporarily rest in the car. Let's go tomorrow, I'm looking for someone to help clean up. The important thing is that his belongings have been put down first" said his mother.


Dita and Dinar chose to return to the car. They saw people dropping things off the car. But, the views of the two of them can not be separated from the house.


"That house, it's been empty for a long time huh, brother? Ih, nakutin if there are residents, how about?" ask Dinar.


"If cleaning is done we have a thanksgiving, we pay together while getting acquainted with new neighbors. Well, then we do it all so that the old residents out. Understand adek?" ask Dita.


"Hem, okay-okay." Dinar nodded his head.


Dinar was busy playing her phone while accompanying Dita who was currently closing her eyes again. It didn't take long for people to drop off the stuff, it was finally done.


“We just go home, sir. Thank you for hiring our services and vehicles,” said one of the drivers who is the owner of the transport car.


“He's the same, sir. Thank you too, sorry if a little inconvenient,”, said his father Dinar.


“Oh yes, Sir. Suggestions only, a new house, whether empty old or newly built, do not forget to hold a lecture. Moreover, this house looks empty for a long time, yes. For girls who are pregnant, do not forget to read the letter, because as far as I know I can make reject the things that threaten us, especially invisible creatures,” other suggestions.


“Iya, Sir. Thanks once again,” said his mother Dinar.


“Then, we go home first. If need any more help, please contact my number only, Mr.” The owner of the car.


They got back in the car and drove her away from the house. Dinar and Andre's parents sat on the porch. The night is getting longer, it seems that time is reluctant to turn when the eyes cannot be closed and lulled into the dream world. Tired, now it feels like whacking their bodies because the journey taken is very long especially in addition to annoying invisible distractions.


“Andre, if you sleep with Dinar and Dita in the car, Son. Let Father and Mother keep the stuff in,” pinta his mother Dinar.


“Eh, no, Mom. Instead, Mothers who are women please rest. Mother may be exhausted because of the long journey earlier.” Andre even he with his in-laws.


“All the way Mom slept, Son. That, your father is now sleeping maybe sleepy because there is no rest from returning from work continue to leave again,”, said his mother Dinar.


Andre just smiled, although the drowsiness was currently whack but he could not bear if his mother-in-law had to be awake until the morning. They choose to chat whether that is the topic of their conversation.


“Oh yes, I brought a little snack in the car. Let me get you,” said his mother Dinar.


When her mother-in-law left her, a faint sound could be heard in her ear, the voice of the little boy was speaking, but it was unclear what he was saying. Andre rubbed his face. ‘What is the effect of not sleeping, yes. His ears hear nothing. No way also, young children at this hour have not slept.’


“Nothing, Mom. Mom, I didn't tell you whose house it was and how long it's been empty?” ask Andre who feels anxious.


“No, Ndre. Dad's just a story, if this house belongs to a friend's brother. This house, occupied by his parents and two little daughters. They said they had to move out of town so, so I don't know for sure this house is empty since when. Because, his friend did not explain with certainty.” Her mother-in-law explained.


“Why should I leave, yes. A house this big, left empty just like that,” murmured Andre.


“No idea, Son. Maybe the interests of work like we gini, so had to move suddenly and the house was sold. Maybe, never sell, so his house looks unkempt like this,” replied his mother.


“Yes too yes, Mom. We seem to have to do a quick study, ma'am. Later if it is morning, we finish and then immediately do the recitation,” pinta Andre.


“Iya, Son. If not because the lights in this house went out, maybe I have begun to tidy up.


Sasongko's family home, empty since the incident. A month, two months the lights were still brightly lit, until no monthly dues were paid, PLN chose to cut electricity in the house. Dinar's father bought the house, in daylight conditions. He knew that if the electricity there was cut off, but he chose to turn on when he was actually in the house.


A two-story luxury house with complete contents and priced below sales standards, made his father Dinar tempted when offered. The house was bought a week ago before they did move here. When monitoring it, there is no need for excessive renovation. It may only need repainting to make this luxury home look more elegant. They talk for a long time and sometimes they are silent. Activity began to be seen, when people began to pass in the streets. Not once twice, everyone who passed by looked in wonder at them.


His mother Dinar chose to open the fence back. He brought the broom he had brought from home. Every passerby, Dinar's mother tries to be friendly by trying to greet them.


“Mari, Ma,” said his mother Dinar.


“Oh yes, come. Just moved, Mom?” ask one of his neighbors.


“Iya, Mum.” His mother Dinar replied with a smile.


“Oh yes, Mom. Mari,” said her neighbor again


Dinar and Dita are back awake, they choose to get out of the car and approach his mother.


“Bu, beberes?” ask Dita.


“Iya, Dit. There are the same Dinar. Let know the surrounding environment,” orders his mother.


They also say their mother's words. Dinar and Ditar set foot onto the road before the alley came in here. Quite a lot of people pass by, when the dawn adhan will reverberate. Just a few steps, Dinar invited her brother back.


“Back yuk, Brother. We take mukena, invite others to take turns to pray,” invite Dinar.


“Iya, Deck,” Reply Dita.


When they returned, there was one man and one woman who seemed to be going to the mosque.


“Assalamaicum. Where to, Dek?” ask the woman.


“Back to home, Bu.” Dita answered.


“Oh, new citizens, huh? How did we just see this morning?” tell that man.


“Iya, Sir. It's also just arrived,” replied Dita again.


“Oh yes, later if it is a bit bright, go to my house, yes. Coincidentally I am RT here, so need your data.” The father told me.


“Good, Sir. If you can tell, which house is next door?” ask Dita.


“This, Deck. The paint is pink,” replied Mr. RT.


“Good, Sir. Come, we will go there soon,” said Dita say goodbye.


The RT chairman and his wife also resumed their journey. They also do not know, if they are the ones who will occupy the empty house at this time.
