Suara tangisan itu menyakitkan gendang telingaku, kupejamkan mata dan menutup telingaku erat-erat, samar-samar aku mendengar dia menghentikan tangisannya. Aku mencoba merayap dan meraba dinding kusam itu, mencoba mengintip. Kenapa setiap aku menangis dibalik bilik ini dia selalu mengikutiku? Seolah-olah ingin mengatakan kepadaku, bahwa aku tidak pernah sendirian menangis di bilik ini. Kali ini aku memberanikan diri untuk mengetuk pintu disebalah bilik yang selalu kujadikan tempat bersembunyi ini. Kreeeekk.... Suara kayu dari pintu yang sudah lapuk itu membuat bulu kudukku meremang. Sosok itu membuat airmataku kering menatapnya, tubuhku kaku seolah-olah darah tidak mengalir ditubuhku,sosok perempuan yang meringkuk itu menghentikan tangisannya, mendongak menatapku, walaupun diam tetapi aku bisa merasakan sesuatu yang menakutkan, seragamnya sangat lusuh, kulit putihnya seperti menahan dingin, mata itu kosong dan terus menatapku, seolah-olah dia tidak menerima kehadiranku didalam bilik kumuh ini.
