Swastika Naladhipa
What is that sound?

"Tiiiin tiiin" the claskon was a sign they had arrived.

The grandmother sitting on the porch bench slicing an onion turned her gaze to Papa Tika who had just gotten off the car. He immediately approached his grandchildren and greeted them with a big smile.

"Wahh, the granddaughter of the grandmother came, "The grandmother thrust her hand towards Tika.

"Granny's house is very far away, Tika so overslept on the road," cried Tika while shaking hands with Grandma.

"Let's eat first, Grandma was ready from earlier," Grandma embraced Tika's shoulder walking into the house.

Meanwhile, Mama and Papa Tika are still cleaning up the items that will be removed from the car. Quite a lot of stuff in the car, also seen some of the food that Mama cooked last night. Looks like they're going on a picnic with Grandma

There was no sense of a tinge of swasmita faintly blushing yellowish orange slowly sinking in the western hemisphere corner. Papa and Mama Tika seem to be in a hurry to return home, because tomorrow is already Monday so his father will return to work. But not with Tika who will enjoy a full week vacation there.

An hour had passed from the departure of Tika's parents back to the city. A cold air circled between the meadows behind his Grandmother's house, before long the sound of the crickets of the night singer squealed the darkness of the night, greeted with fireflies like small lanterns flying scattered among the grass that swayed in the night wind.

Tika pensively propped her head up with her palms while sitting on the chair looking at the night view from the window, it seemed like she was enjoying the night atmosphere with the warm cup of milk that accompanied her.

"It's the vacation I want, " murmured Tika. Even though he was a child, the way he spent his time and his way of speaking was much more mature than children his age.

Tika, close the window. The air's getting cold, get your warm clothes on" Grandma said from the kitchen preparing dinner.

"Eh, yes, Grandma, "

Now that all the food was neatly arranged on the dining table, Tika and Grandma were already there. Tika will soon ask.

"If there is no Tika, Grandma is usually the same who is at home, Grandma," right, Tika must ask.

"Sometimes Grandma herself, sometimes your Uncle comes home for a while, your Uncle will work so rarely come home too," replied Grandma while spooning rice to Tika's plate.

"Gapain Grandma was afraid, Grandma was ordinary herself," Grandma laughed lightly in response.

Tika looks very greedy eating Grandma's cooking even he also asked for more. It seems that upon his return to the city he will be fat, haha.

A few moments passed, now it was 10. The sound of crickets is getting louder with the sound of worms. True Grandma said, the weather was getting colder even now Tika was wrapped in a warm blanket plus the sweater was still cold, maybe because Grandma's house near the meadow and also the rice fields.

Maybe because today was Tika's first day on vacation and the first time she slept at her Grandma's house, his eyes are difficult to fall asleep even though he has tried to close his eyes even he to the point of counting sheep mimicking the tales he has read.

It was 12 but he was still unable to fall asleep, the air was getting colder and the susana was getting quieter. Tika tried to peek at Grandma, it turns out Grandma had fallen asleep covered with thick. Especially what he has to do, if in the city he can still watch but here there is not even television.

"Buhhhh" the voice was clearly heard from the back precisely in the direction to the bathroom. Tika's heart immediately beat fast, the eyes that I originally had now glared in shock. Plus the room that is quite spaced with the bathroom makes his entire body creeps.

Without thinking about the length of a thousand steps he took out towards Grandma's room. With a still stingy breath Tika tried to shake her Grandma's shoulder.

"Mrs, Grandma, Neneek,"

"Hmm, "Granny still hasn't opened her eyes.

"That's.. That, Grandma. There was a voice, "Tika is still trying to shake her Grandma's shoulder.

"What sound?" Grandma slowly opened her eyes.

"That, Grandma.. There was a sound falling from behind, very loud, "Tika looks pale.

"The other is just a mouse. Yaudah, here Tika sleeps with Grandma, " replied Grandma shifted her body to give a place for Tika.
