My World is Becoming Different
Sesajen ~ Mystery villa granny #2
Tazkia blinked her eyes slowly saw the wall clock hanging on the wall of her room showed at 7 pm, it seemed like her sleep this time was really sound or indeed because of fatigue so no feeling at all. Tazkia then got up and went to the bathroom for some cleaning and then went to dinner because Faris might have been waiting for her to join the dinner table.
A few minutes after taking a shower and changing clothes, Tazkia stepped out to the dining table. The atmosphere is so quiet and quiet as if this villa is empty uninhabited, plus the lighting that only comes from candlelight that is lit in every corner of the room, he said, add to the impression like being in the past without electricity.
"It seems like grandma doesn't like a room that's too bright." she thought to herself, because Tazkia didn't see a room with bright lights on the side of the villa at all except the courtyard.
Just a few steps as he crossed the hallway of the room, his steps came to a halt when he saw an open door in which he glimpsed like a painting of someone familiar to him.
Tazkia looked to the right and to the left making sure no one then went inside, wasn't Tazkia weird? it's his grandmother's villa why would he go so bad if only to get into a room.
Tazkia increasingly entered the room, the room was so clean and neat, the room was, there is a offerings under the painting as deliberately placed there to feed the dead spirits (you must know, the offerings in the form of coffee, tea, tea, bananas, and some neatly arranged rice, there are also some setaman flowers that sometimes also complement the contents of the offerings).
Tazkia stared at the painting with an unreadable gaze, the painting was the same as a typical self-portrait painting where a grandmother was sitting on a wooden chair, while on his lap there is a black cat sitting while spoiled, which is sure the grandmother in the painting is not Tazkia's grandmother at least that's what he knows.
"What is she doing here, miss?" ask a voice that is certainly not familiar to his hearing makes Tazkia immediately turned around to ensure the owner of the sound.
"I'm just curious about this painting, do you know who he is?" tazkia asked as she pointed towards the painting in front of her.
"She's your great-grandmother miss" she said in a flat, expressionless tone.
"Grandmother great? why do I feel so familiar?" tazkia said in her heart trying to remember where she met her grandmother in the painting.
"Would the lady go to the dining room immediately, your grandmother and friends have been waiting there" said Rita again.
Hearing that remark Tazkia simply nodded then waltzed away from there towards the dining room.
Right after Tazkia's departure from there the painting's eyes slowly moved in Tazkia's footsteps until he disappeared, Rita who seemed to have been used to seeing it then lowered her body a little as if paying respect to the painting.
"It seems you know that if the lady comes, I will treat her well, great-grandmother." said Rita, looking down after leaving there and closing the door.

In the dining room.
From a distance Tazkia had seen Faris and her grandmother talking in the dining room. Seeing that a smile was engraved on her beautiful face, she did not expect that the grandmother would welcome Faris with such open arms.
"There is nothing we just say hello" said the grandmother with a smile. "Please enjoy, you must be hungry, right?" grandma said later.
Tazkia and Faris then began their eating rituals with pleasure without any conversation only the sound of the clanking of spoons and forks that accompany them.
"Grandmother is not mak.." said Tazkia but cut off because he saw something strange to his grandmother.
Tazkia looked at her grandmother's body which was like a faint shadow but the next second back, Tazkia even tried to sharpen her gaze because she thought the light of the lamp that was not too bright made her gaze a little blurry, but when Tazkia accidentally looked down, something was different from her grandmother's shadow. The atmosphere of this dinner is indeed with a slightly dark lamp and only comes from the candlelight that is placed in a long row on the dining table and antique cabinet cabinets around the dining room, Tazkia herself did not know the reason why, only when asked Rita replied that the candlelight brings peace rather than a light that comes from the lamp, the location of the oddity not only reached there when he looked down should the shadow that looks like someone sitting on a chair, should be, but in fact the shadow that arises under his grandmother is just a chair without anyone on it or empty. Tazkia who did not believe in his vision again sharpened his gaze, unfortunately even though he saw it several times the shadow remained the same.
"What's up Ki? did you see anything?" asked her grandmother while smiling to make Tazkia end her curiosity.
"Not what grandma" said Tazkia with a smile.
"Then you continue eating, grandma wants to go to the room first" said the grandmother as she stood up holding her cane.
"Grandma doesn't eat?" said Tazkia who just realized that her grandmother did not touch anything that was on the dining table since.
"So grandma had eaten" he said then waltzed away leaving Faris and Tazkia there.
After her grandmother's departure, Tazkia looked back down at the seat she had been sitting on and the shadow remained as empty, only the shadow of the chair.
"What the hell is Ki?" faris asked curiously because from then on Tazkia always looked down.
"It's okay, we better keep going" Tazkia said.
Meanwhile, from the direction of the kitchen Rita who noticed everything then smiled to see the look of Tazkia's face that changed, she knew Tazkia must be surprised because she had just seen it for the first time.
"Miss will definitely get used to it, something that is destined will definitely happen even if we avoid to the end of the world" said Rita with a smile and a face that can not be read.
After that Rita then walked carrying a tray containing the exact same offerings in the room that Tazkia entered earlier, but the difference this time Rita did not bring it to the room but to the grandmother's room.
