Visiting My Village
Last month, my family and I went to Banyumas which was located in Central Java, Indonesia. We
drove a car. I enjoyed the journey all day long although it took 2 days to get there. We were fun, my
brother made some jokes all day. My father told us some stories on the way. My mother slept on the back
seat.
My first day in my village, I visited my siblings and friends. When I saw my parents, they cried
because they looked so happy to meet up their families. The next day, my brother, my cousin and my
nephew went to a popular place in Purwokerto. It was called “Baturaden”. That was a favorite spot in
Purwokerto. We enjoyed local specialty food as culinary. Next, I took a photo with traditional music
musicians. My brother, my cousin and my nephew enjoy the view with other visitors. They took a photo
with their style like I did. In the evening, we were back home.
The day after tomorrow, my cousin had a ceremony to say thanks to God for blessing their son. It
was called “Nazar”. When the parents had a promise for something and it was realized. They had to make
a traditional ceremony. I watched that traditional ceremony and took their photograph.
For the last show, we were entertained by “Ebeg”. It was traditional art. The player danced through
the traditional music and they were handled by the spirit. It was scary, but it was fun and entertain.
Time run so fast because the next day was our last day in the village. So I took the last photo to
bring it home. They were my family and still family until the last breath in this world. Finally, we had to
go home and brought a love experience from family. That was the hardest part.

SCARY EXPERIENCE
Last midnight, when I slept in my bedroom, I heard someone sang a sad song and sometimes she was
crying. I was be very scared and curious with that voice because it was very strange for me. I tried to find
out the source of that voice until I know it was from the back of my window. Actually I was very scared
but I still wanted to know who was sang a song like that in the midnight. I got up and walked slowly to
the my big window. When I opened the curtain, I didn’t see no body or anything outside. I was really be
astonished.
After looked that, I slept again because I felt very sleepy after work hard to make so many task and
prepare for the test next day. But a few minutes later, I heard the same sound like the sound I heard
before. It made me a little angry because it was very disturbing my sleep. I looked my cute clock on the
wall. It showed 12.15 AM. Someone sang a sad song at midnight? I thought it was so strange.
So, I was forced to be brave and I opened the curtain again. And…. I saw an old woman with very
long hair wearing a white long dress with a very scaring face. She stared at me angrily. I was so scared.
Then… I screamed very loudly. I tried to run as fast as I can.
But... suddenly someone held my hand. Do you know, who held my hand?? It was my sister. She sat
besides me and asked, “What happened with you? Why you screamed at midnight?” “Where is the old
woman? Where is she now?”, I answered. “Old woman? No old woman here. Maybe you are just
dreaming”, she answered. Oh my God,,, do you believe it? It was just a nightmare.
