KALIYA (THE HAUNTED DOLLS)
Chapter 3

Andara escorted Sandrina to the room. The doll that Sandrina just bought was stored on the shelf with other dolls owned by Sandrina.

" You wash your face, change your clothes. " Andara opens the closet taking pajamas for her daughter.

" Wash your face, don't take a shower? " ask Sandrina.

" Don't, let's catch a cold. Wash your face, change clothes Mami put on the mattress. Mom stay first, take a shower. " You keep your pajamas on the bed.

Sandrina also obeyed the orders of her Mami, she immediately entered the bathroom to wash her face.

When you want to leave the room, your steps are held back by the sound of puppet laughter. He also turned his body, staring one by one row of dolls stored on a shelf near the bed.

Slowly he stepped forward, approaching the shelf. The sound of laughter was only heard once, but it was so clear that Andara decided to check which doll had made a sound.

Now Andara is standing right in front of the shelf, he stared one by one row of dolls displayed there. Until the net stops at one point. The new black-clothed doll he bought.

Slowly his hand reached for the doll, yet he had no time to touch it. Andara was shocked by Sandrina's voice.

" Mommy, "Sandrina exclaimed in surprise to see that her mother was still in her room.

" What's Mommy doing there? Didn't you want to take a shower? " ask Sandrina.

" I-yes, Mami stay huh. Change clothes and keep bobo. " Andara hurried to the door, but again he was surprised by the sound of the bathroom door opening. Sandrina just got out of there.

" Mommy's still here? " ask Sandrina.

Deg !

Andara's eyes widened in shock, her heart skipping a beat as she saw Sandrina just came out of the bathroom. Then who was it?

Slowly you look back. It was really awkward, Sandrina who was behind him vanished even though she was clearly talking to him. And the distance is only a few steps from Andara.

" Mommy why? " Sandrina who had just come out of the bathroom was approaching.

" No, it's okay, baby. " Anda was so pale, yet she tried to hide her fear before Sandrina.

" But Mami's face is so tense? " Sandrina was apparently able to catch Andara's tense expression.

" Mommy's just tired, there's nothing. " Andara rubbed her face then walked towards the exit.

" Good night baby, good sleep ! " Andara hesitated a little while closing the door, for a moment he circulated his eyes to the whole room Sandrina with his hands still grasping the door knob. Andara closed the door and rushed to her room.

His mind was filled with the awkwardness that continues in his experience today. Especially after he saw with his own eyes, someone transformed into Sandrina.

Malvino who was in the room turned his head as Andara opened the door and went inside.

" Sandrina slept? " ask Malvino who is already sitting on the bed while playing the laptop on his lap.

" No, he just washed his face. But I told her to go to sleep after changing clothes, "andara replied by grabbing a towel and passing to the bathroom.

Under a warm shower, Andara wet her head that feels heavy. I hope those strange thoughts disappear. He said he was exhausted to the point of hallucinating like that. Andara still brushed off the awkwardness in nature.

After bathing, your body is fresher than before. Immediately he put on his nightgown and sat down beside Malvino.

" You're not sleepy? " ask Andara.

" Sleepy, but it's a responsibility again. I had a lot of files to check during the holidays yesterday I didn't have time to open, " replied Malvino.

" You go to sleep first, "he continued.

" Yes, I'll follow you, Mam. Short again, " said Malvino by continuing to look at the laptop screen.

Andara also broke the body. His eyes felt heavy, an unbearable drowsiness made him quickly enter the dream realm.

***

In the morning at 08:00, the Malvino family was having breakfast. Mbok Darmi has prepared food for them.

Andara was sitting next to Malvino and Sandrina was sitting across from them. This time Sandrina brought her new doll to the dining room. Sandrina usually carries toys when she eats. Of course it makes you annoyed especially Sandrina more to play with her doll than put food into her mouth.

" Daughter, eat first. Save the doll ! " say Andara.

" Yes this Mami Sandrina is also eating, "he replied.

" Pap, "You're glancing towards Malvino so Sandrina doesn't play while she's having breakfast.

" Dear, save the doll first. Finish your meal playing again, " said Malvino.

Sandrina kept her new doll in the side chair, and she continued her breakfast.

" Mom, I see there's a car parked next door. Is there a new neighbor who filled the house? " ask Malvino to Mbok Darmi.

" Yes Sir. Just two days ago, there was a house next door. But Mbok does not know which one. Maybe the new occupants are busy working so they are rarely at home, " replied Mbok Darmi.

" Oh that. " Malvino.

" I also know from the residents of the complex here, he said who filled the house with one family. But do not know how many people, " explains Mbok Darmi while offering his freshly peeled fruit to Sandrina.

" One family but Mbok hasn't seen a single person among them? " Anda was a little surprised.

" Yes when they are busy" said Malvino.

" Next time we visit our new neighbor's house, however we must know who the people around us are. So if there's anything you can help each other, " malvino said that he still holds the tradition to always socialize with his complex neighbors even though he lives in the capital city which is mostly principled individualism.

Finish your breakfast choosing to water the flowers in the yard of the house. It has been a few days of his ornamental plants he lives, although there are Mbok Darmi who help take care of the plants during Andara leave but Andara still want to make sure if the ornamental plants are not damaged or dead.

While Malvino again busy in front of the laptop screen, this time he sat in the back garden facing the pool. Sandrina is still engrossed in her new doll. Now he sits on the front porch accompanying Andara who is watering flowers.

" Good morning ! " someone greeted Andara behind a gate that was as high as an adult's chest.

" Morning ! " Andara fused both of her eyebrows looking at the stranger before her.

" Include my name Anwar, I live next door. "

Apparently the guy was Andara's new neighbor.

" Oh, yes. I Andara. "

" Two days to move here but how did you see your mom? " said Anwar.

" It just so happened that me and my family just came home last night from home, " replied Andara kindly.

" O pantesans. " Anwar's eyes looked at Andara with a look of admiration, how not. You are a beautiful and graceful young mother, her body is still that of a girl. It is only fitting that there are men interested in him, including Anwar.

Feeling uncomfortable at seeing Anwar like that, Andara also decided to enter.

" I'm sorry, I'm staying. " Without waiting for an answer from Anwar, Andara hastily entered by pulling Sandrina's arm to enter the house.
